TL;DR: GPC3 transcript is upregulated in six out of seven cases of HCC and it is concluded that GPC3 is a good molecular marker for HCC.
Abstract: To identify candidate genes that could be used as diagnostic and therapeutic targets for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we searched for the genes that are overexpressed in HCC by combining representational difference analysis and microarray. Genes such as glypican-3 (GPC3), insulin-like growth factor 2, long-chain fatty-acid-coenzyme A ligase 4, farnesyl diphosphate synthase were frequently identified in our screening. Northern blot analysis with these four genes confirmed their overexpression in HCC. Among them we found that GPC3 transcript is upregulated in six out of seven cases of HCC. Immunoblot and immunohistochemical staining using polyclonal anti-GPC3 antibodies further confirmed that GPC3 protein is indeed increased in HCC tumor samples. We also found that GPC3 is secreted into culture media from cell lines derived from HCC. We conclude that GPC3 is a good molecular marker for HCC.

TL;DR: Early ceramic liner fracture was associated with impingement associated with excessive anteversion of the acetabular cup in Korean patients who habitually squat, resulting in hyperflexion and wide hip abduction.
Abstract: Advances in technology have reduced the risk of fracture of ceramic total hip arthroplasty implants, but concerns remain about fracture of both components. We retrospectively reviewed 133 patients (157 hips) who had cementless alumina-on-alumina total hip arthroplasties with a sandwich-type acetabular component. Six patients (seven hips) died and five patients (six hips) were interviewed by telephone (95% followup). The 122 patients (144 hips) examined had a minimum followup of 36 months (average, 45 months; range, 36-68 months). All acetabular cups and femoral stems were radiographically stable at the last followup. Five hips in five patients (3.5%) were revised because of ceramic liner fractures. Ceramic liner fractures occurred at a mean of 35 months (range, 24-48 months) postoperatively. Acetabular cups in the fracture group (n = 5) were more anteverted than those in the nonfracture group (n = 139). In three patients the fracture apparently occurred during squatting, resulting in hyperflexion and wide hip abduction. Early ceramic liner fracture was associated with impingement associated with excessive anteversion of the acetabular cup in Korean patients who habitually squat.

TL;DR: This study provides the first in vivo evidence that upregulation of neurotransmitter receptors may contribute to synapse formation via cell fusion‐like processes after BM‐MSC transplantation into mice with neurodegenerative disease.
Abstract: Recent studies have shown that bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) improve neurological deficits when transplanted into animal models of neurological disorders. However, the precise mechanism by which this occurs remains unknown. Herein we demonstrate that BM-MSCs are able to promote neuronal networks with functional synaptic transmission after transplantation into Niemann-Pick disease type C (NP-C) mouse cerebellum. To address the mechanism by which this occurs, we used gene microarray, whole-cell patch-clamp recordings, and immunohistochemistry to evaluate expression of neurotransmitter receptors on Purkinje neurons in the NP-C cerebellum. Gene microarray analysis revealed upregulation of genes involved in both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission encoding subunits of the ionotropic glutamate receptors (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid, AMPA) GluR4 and GABAA receptor β2. We also demonstrated that BM-MSCs, when originated by fusion-like events with existing Purkinje neurons, develop into electrically active Purkinje neurons with functional synaptic formation. This study provides the first in vivo evidence that upregulation of neurotransmitter receptors may contribute to synapse formation via cell fusion-like processes after BM-MSC transplantation into mice with neurodegenerative disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, a search for new physics in the final state containing a photon and missing transverse energy was conducted, and the authors set 90% confidence level (CL) upper limits for spin-dependent chi-nucleon scattering for chi masses between 1 and 100 GeV.
Abstract: Results are presented from a search for new physics in the final state containing a photon and missing transverse energy. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 inverse femtobarns collected in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV by the CMS experiment. The observed event yield agrees with standard-model expectations for photon plus missing transverse energy events. Using models for production of dark-matter particles (chi), we set 90% confidence level (CL) upper limits of 13.6--15.4 femtobarns on chi production in the photon plus missing transverse energy state. These provide the most sensitive upper limits for spin-dependent chi-nucleon scattering for chi masses between 1 and 100 GeV. For spin-independent contributions, the present limits are extended to chi masses below 3.5 GeV. For models with 3--6 large extra dimensions, our data exclude extra-dimensional Planck scales between 1.65 and 1.71 TeV at 95% CL.
