Systematic analysis of cDNA microarray-based CGH.

cDNA microarray-based CGH (Microarray-CGH) is a useful technique for detecting genomic aberrations with a high resolution. However, the criteria for determining a genomic alteration have not been determined. We evaluated the genome-wide measurement of copy number of each gene in normal gastric and placenta tissues with both sex-matched, direct and sex-mismatched, indirect designs using 17K cDNA microarray. The results revealed the range of genomic copy number of normal tissues to be +/-0.3 of the log(2) ratio (gain >0.3, loss <-0.3) in the autosomal genes with direct and indirect designs. The copy number at a gene level from the X chromosomal genes using the direct and indirect sex-mismatched designs was +/-0.68 of the log(2) ratio (amplification >0.68, deletion <-0.68). In summary, the suggested method can be used as a guideline for analysis of genomic aberration using a Microarray-CGH in both direct and indirect designs.

[A systematic analysis of the Ottoman Red Crescent periodical (Part III)].

Founded in 1877, the Ottoman Red Crescent Society rendered a lot of important services in military and civil areas in the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Red Crescent Society not only gave health services for the soldiers, but it also attempted to obey the international acts signed for the war captives and to rescue them together with the countries involved under the supervision of the international Red Cross. In the civilian area, the Ottoman Red Crescent Society also played an active role to meet the casualties' needs, such as food, clothes, and accommodation following natural disasters like earthquake, flood, fire etc. The Ottoman Red Crescent Society published a monthly newsletter called Osmanli Hilâl-i Ahmer Mecmuasi to announce its services more effectively to the public since 15 September 1921 (12 Muharrem 1340). The publication of the newsletter continued as Türkiye Hilâl-i Ahmer Mecmuas' after the 15th issue. Starting with the 85th issue on September 15th, 1928 (30 Rebiülevvel 1347) it was printed with Latin alphabet instead of Arabic letters. A brief translation in French and in English exist in the end of each issue. In the second part of this research, news about the Red Crescent Society's organization; financial supports for the Society and, in return, material and financial aids by the Society; local organizations providing aid to the Society; money collected during Bairams; plays and balls arranged by the Society; and the activities of the womens' branch of the Red Crescent Society, are introduced. The third and last part of the study deals with the comments of visitors about the Red Crescent Society; and news and activities of the European Red Cross Societies.

Systematic analysis of animals used in medieval Azerbaijan medicine.

In order to study the special composition of animals used in the medieval medicine of Azerbaijan, a wide range of medieval sources on medicine and pharmacognosy from the collection of the Institute of Manuscripts of the Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences in Baku has been studied. About 40 medieval sources from the 10-18th centuries including 17 manuscripts in Turkic, Persian and Arabic have been selected as the objects of this study. As a result, 150 species of animals described in medieval Azerbaijani books on medicine and pharmacy have been identified. Many of the identified animals are mammals, (47 species or 31% of total number of identified species). The medieval authors describe 12 species of reptiles and 4 species of Amphibians (frogs, toads, salamanders and tree-frogs (Hyla arborea). 15 species of fishes described in medieval manuscripts have been identified. The identified molluscs are cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis), mussel (Mytilus edulis), octopus (Octopus vulgaris) and snail (Helix pomatia). Most crustaceans used in medieval Azerbaijan medicine belong to Decopoda. Medieval manuscripts contain numerous names of various worms and insects (ants, flies, beetles, etc.), however their exact identification is rather difficult. As usual, medieval authors unite a number of species under one name and do not give sufficient information about their morphology. Results of the research create grounds for the idea that the recommendations of the medieval authors on the medicinal application of animals can be applied to modern medicine once they have been experimentally and clinically tested.

[Systematic analysis of the state of man exposed to radio wave irradiation for a long time].

A complex examination was made of 72 men--short-wave (3-30 MHz) radio equipment controllers. Two parallel control groups of 70 people all in all were examined. No regular changes in the dynamics of amplitude-frequency characteristics of electroencephalogram, associated with the length of service, were observed. The number of subjective complaints from people in contact with radiofrequencies increased with an increase in the length of service. The role of certain clinico-physiological parameters of the organism in the process of adaptation to electromagnetic radiation was quantitatively assessed with the use of status-metry technique; in particular, a decrease in the functional activity of the right hemisphere brain structures, aggravating with the length of service, was observed.

The psychiatrist's guide to right and wrong: Part II: A systematic analysis of exculpatory delusions.

Although delusions are prima facie evidence of psychosis, their mere presence is not a sufficient condition for exculpation on the grounds of insanity. In most cases, a determination of insanity will depend on the specific content of the delusions and whether, as a result of these delusions, the defendant was unable to know or appreciate the wrongfulness of his or her act. Delusions may be subdivided into four types, according to their content: 1) delusions of being controlled, 2) delusions of grandiosity, 3) delusions of persecution, and 4) delusions of jealousy. An analysis is undertaken of these delusional subtypes in terms of their exculpatory effect within the jurisdictions which follow each of the three respective standards of wrongfulness (i.e., the illegality standard, the subjective moral standard, and the objective moral standard). The criminal law does not recognize a transcendent constancy in the legal insanity status of psychotic individuals whose offense was the result of their delusional ideation. In most such cases, exculpation is based primarily on the specific content of their delusions and how it comports with the law of the jurisdiction specific content of their delusions and how it comports with the law of the jurisdiction in which the act was committed (the lex loci delicti commissi).

A systematic analysis of religious variables in The Journal of Family Practice, 1976-1986.

One thousand eighty-six studies were reviewed to determine the prevalence, characteristics, and quality of measures of religion or religiosity in The Journal of Family Practice for the decade ending in 1986. Religious variables occurred at a relatively low rate, even among articles with some psychosocial content. The clear preponderance of religious measures pertained to patients rather than to providers, and religious variables were generally analyzed descriptively, not inferentially. In spite of an encouraging use of some measures of religious beliefs and practices, there remained a significant focus on denominational measures of religious status. These findings suggest that the consideration of religious variables in the family medicine literature has not been commensurate with the emerging picture of the role of religious commitment in health status and mental health status. It is suggested that increased emphasis on developing an original literature of record about religious variables in family medicine will promote the empirical assessment of the beneficial, neutral, and harmful effects of religion among family medicine patients and providers.

[The Principle of causality in psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic methods--an attempt at a systematic analysis based on a technologically oriented psychotherapy concept].

The attempt is made to describe in general psychotherapeutic work and efficacy on the basis of the understanding of psychotherapy as a process of action in the framework of a principle of causality of psychotherapy. Issuing from this usual psychotherapeutic methods and conceptions, which at present are applied in the GDR, are briefly characterized and a systematology of these methods is demonstrated. The description of principles of effect shall facilitate the understanding for psychotherapeutic effects in patients undergoing internal treatment and the broader inclusion of psychotherapy into the therapy of the specialist in internal medicine.

Phylogenetic systematic analysis of the Trichostrongylidae (Nematoda), with an initial assessment of coevolution and biogeography.

Phylogenetic analysis of the subfamilies of the Trichostrongylidae based on 22 morphological transformation series produced a single cladogram with a consistency index (CI) = 74.2%. Monophyly for the family was supported by the structure of the female tail and copulatory bursa. Two major clades are recognized: the Cooperiinae clade with the basal Cooperiinae and Libyostrongylinae+Trichostrongylinae, and the Graphidiinae clade with the basal Graphidiinae and Ostertagiinae+Haemonchinae. Dendrograms presented by Durette-Desset (1985) (CI = 56.1%) and Lichtenfels (1987), based on the key to the Trichostrongylidae by Gibbons and Khalil (1982) (CI = 59.0%), were found to be relatively inefficient in describing character evolution and in supporting putative relationships among the subfamilies. Based on the current analysis, the intestine appears to have constituted the ancestral habitat for the trichostrongylids with the stomach/abomasum having been independently colonized in each clade. Assessment of host associations suggests extensive colonization but also a high degree of coevolution with Bovidae and Cervidae for Ostertagiinae+Haemonchinae. Biogeography for this assemblage is complex, but this analysis is compatible with a Palearctic or Eurasian origin for Cooperiinae, Haemonchinae, and Ostertagiinae.
