TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis of 47 extracellular putative metal binding receptors (MBRs) belonging to the newly defined cluster suggests the existence of two subclusters that correspond to paralogous metal permeases dedicated primarily to manganese and to zinc transport.

TL;DR: Intracoronary autologous BMC administration to patients with decreased LVEF after AMI was associated with improvement of myocardial viability in multivariate-but not in univariate-analysis, and a large multicentre international trial is warranted.
Abstract: AIMS: Intracoronary administration of autologous bone marrow cells (BMCs) leads to a modest improvement in cardiac function, but the effect on myocardial viability is unknown. The aim of this randomized multicentre study was to evaluate the effect of BMC therapy on myocardial viability in patients with decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to identify predictive factors for improvement of myocardial viability. METHODS AND RESULTS: One hundred and one patients with AMI and successful reperfusion, LVEF ≤45%, and decreased myocardial viability (resting Tl201-SPECT) were randomized to either a control group (n = 49) or a BMC group (n = 52). Primary endpoint was improvement of myocardial viability 3 months after AMI. Baseline mean LVEF measured by radionuclide angiography was 36.3 ± 6.9%. Bone marrow cell infusion was performed 9.3 ± 1.7 days after AMI. Myocardial viability improved in 16/47 (34%) patients in the BMC group compared with 7/43 (16%) in the control group (P = 0.06). The number of non-viable segments becoming viable was 0.8 ± 1.1 in the control group and 1.2 ± 1.5 in the BMC group (P = 0.13). Multivariate analysis including major post-AMI prognostic factors showed a significant improvement of myocardial viability in BMC vs. control group (P = 0.03). Moreover, a significant adverse role for active smoking (P = 0.04) and a positive trend for microvascular obstruction (P = 0.07) were observed. CONCLUSION: Intracoronary autologous BMC administration to patients with decreased LVEF after AMI was associated with improvement of myocardial viability in multivariate-but not in univariate-analysis. A large multicentre international trial is warranted to further document the efficacy of cardiac cell therapy and better define a group of patients that will benefit from this therapy.

TL;DR: The results suggest that electrostatic repulsion between molecules persists on the surface of a metal.
Abstract: The adsorption of a molecular electron donor on Au(111) is characterized by the spontaneous formation of a superlattice of monomers spaced several nanometers apart. The coverage-dependent molecular pair distributions obtained from scanning tunneling microscopy data reveal an intermolecular long-range repulsive potential, which decreases as the inverse of the molecular separation. Density functional theory calculations show a charge accumulation in the molecules due to electron donation into the metal. Our results suggest that electrostatic repulsion between molecules persists on the surface of a metal.

TL;DR: The destruction of quantum localization of chaos by weak nonlinearity is analyzed on the basis of the Chirikov criterion of overlapping resonances and it is shown that for the nonlinear coupling constant there is a delocalization border above which localization is destroyed.
Abstract: The destruction of quantum localization of chaos by weak nonlinearity is analyzed on the basis of the Chirikov criterion of overlapping resonances. It is shown that for the nonlinear coupling constant there is a delocalization border above which localization is destroyed. In this delocalized phase, excitation is described by a universal anomalous subdiffusion law. Applications of this phenomenon to nonlinear wave propagation in disordered media and Anderson localization are discussed.

TL;DR: Hexamer to nonamer were the most efficient elicitors: hexamer for maximal stimulation of colorimetrically assessed chitinase activity, heptamer for maximum stimulation of radiochemically assessedChitinases induction in melon plants by these oligosaccharides was both local and systemic.
