ABSTRACT Platinum-based drugs are first-line compounds in the treatment of many solid cancers. Major obstacles are tumors that become resistant and toxic side effects, both largely due to the expression of transporters that mediate the cellular processing of platinum. In this study, we addressed the establishment of cisplatin resistance in the absence of copper transporter ATP7B that has been previously found to be overexpressed in various resistant cells. -
Purchase of Ten Patrol Vehicles from Shaheen Chevrolet
CITY of NOVI CITY COUNCIL Agenda Item 3 September 24, 2012 cityofnovi.org SUBJECT: Approval to purchase ten (1 0) replacement marked patrol vehicles from Shaheen Chevrolet, Lansing, Ml for the No vi Police Department in the amount for $273,190 through the State of Michigan MiDeal cooperative purchasing contract. SUBMITTING DEPARTMENT: PublicS~ Police Q£'. J). CITY MANAGER APPROVAL: ~w EXPENDITURE REQUIRED $273,190 AMOUNT BUDGETED $273,800 APPROPRIATION REQUIRED N/A LINE ITEM NUMBER 101-301.00-983.000 ($114,800 Capital Outlay- Vehicles) 266-266.00-983.000 ($159,000 Capital Outlay- Vehicles) BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As part of the 2012-13 Budget General Funds and Federal Forfeiture Funds were approved to purchase ten (1 0) replacement vehicles. The replacement vehicles consist of eight (8) marked patrol vehicles, one ( 1) marked K-9 vehicle, and one ( 1) marked SUV used for traffic enforcement. The current contract requires that patrol vehicles be removed from emergency service at 80,000 miles. The replacements will be for older vehicles in the fleet that have reached the 80,000 mile threshold. This request includes the purchase of eight (8) marked patrol vehicles. Since 1996, the Novi Police Department has been purchasing the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors which has been the most widely used patrol vehicle in law enforcement. In April2011, Ford stopped taking orders for their police package vehicles. Throughout 2011 the Department took the opportunity to analyze available police package vehicles to determine which would be the best fit for the Novi Police Department. Officers were provided numerous opportunities to inspect and drive the Chevrolet Caprice, the Ford Police Interceptor, and the Dodge Charger. -
Chest Physiotherapy Improves Lung Aeration in Hypersecretive Critically Ill Patients: a Pilot Randomized Physiological Study
Longhini et al. Critical Care (2020) 24:479 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13054-020-03198-6 RESEARCH Open Access Chest physiotherapy improves lung aeration in hypersecretive critically ill patients: a pilot randomized physiological study Federico Longhini1, Andrea Bruni1, Eugenio Garofalo1, Chiara Ronco2, Andrea Gusmano2, Gianmaria Cammarota3, Laura Pasin4, Pamela Frigerio5, Davide Chiumello6,7,8 and Paolo Navalesi4,9* Abstract Background: Besides airway suctioning, patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (iMV) benefit of different combinations of chest physiotherapy techniques, to improve mucus removal. To date, little is known about the clearance effects of oscillating devices on patients with acute respiratory failure undergoing iMV. This study aimed to assess (1) the effects of high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) on lung aeration and ventilation distribution, as assessed by electrical impedance tomography (EIT), and (2) the effect of the association of HFCWO with recruitment manoeuvres (RM). Methods: Sixty critically ill patients, 30 classified as normosecretive and 30 as hypersecretive, who received ≥ 48 h of iMV, underwent HFCWO; patients from both subgroups were randomized to receive RM or not, according to two separated randomization sequences. We therefore obtained four arms of 15 patients each. After baseline record (T0), HFCWO was applied for 10 min. At the end of the treatment (T1) or after 1 (T2) and 3 h (T3), EIT data were recorded. At the beginning of each step, closed tracheobronchial suctioning was performed. In the RM subgroup, tracheobronchial suctioning was followed by application of 30 cmH2O to the patient’s airway for 30 s. At each step, we assessed the change in end-expiratory lung impedance (ΔEELI) and in tidal impedance variation (ΔTIV), and the center of gravity (COG) through EIT. -

Il nutriente si ritrova, infatti, in glutatione (GSH), fitochelatine (PC), nei clusters ferro-zolfo, in vitamine e cofattori (biotina, tiamina, CoA, S-adenosil-Met) e in una varietà di composti secondari (glucosinolati, allil Cys, solfossidi). Lo zolfo è coinvolto anche nelle modificazioni secondarie di composti quali flavonoidi, steroidi, polisaccaridi e lipidi (Saito 2000; Leustek 2002; Maruyama-Nakashita et al. 2003; Saito 2004). Tali molecole sono coinvolte in una moltitudine di processi biochimici e fisiologici, inclusi la regolazione di attività enzimatiche, cicli redox e la detossificazione di metalli pesanti e xenobiotici (Noctor et al . 1998; Leustek et al . 2000; Rausch e Wachter 2005). In generale lo zolfo non ricopre specifici ruoli strutturali nei sistemi biologici ma piuttosto è responsabile delle proprietà catalitiche e elettrochimiche dei composti che lo contengono. -
2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD Brochure
chevy.com Chevrolet 11CHESIL-HD-CAT01 we’re breaking new ground in more ways than one. If it matters to heavy-duty pickup owners, it matters to Chevy. So we engineered the new 2011 Silverado HD with durable, advanced technology that makes this our most powerful heavy-duty ever. First, we strengthened the available, proven Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engine and Allison® transmission to generate an earth-shaking 765 lb.-ft. of torque and 397 horsepower — more than the previous-generation Silverado HD — plus towing capacities up to 21,700 lbs.1 Next, we designed a high-strength, fully boxed steel frame with the ability to handle more payload than before — up to 6,635 lbs.2 And because it wasn’t enough to be just stronger and sturdier, we gave you more heavy-duty driving confidence with innovative features that help keep the mammoth loads you’re hauling under control. We even changed the look with bold updates to the hood, grille and front bumper. Then we backed it all with our 100,000 mile/5-year3 Powertrain Warranty to guarantee the quality. The new Silverado HD. From Chevy — the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road.4 New Silverado 3500HD Big Dooley Crew Cab Long Box LTZ 4x4 in Steel Green Metallic with available features. 1 Requires fifth-wheel trailer hitch and Regular Cab model. Maximum trailer weight ratings are calculated assuming a base vehicle, except for any option(s) necessary to achieve the rating, plus driver. The weight of other optional equipment, passengers and cargo will reduce the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can tow. -

Microbial fermentation is an ancient food technology, utilizing dynamic populations of microorganisms and possessing a high potential to modify chemical composition and cell structures of plants and thus to remove undesirable compounds and to increase bioavailability of nutrients. In addition, fermentation can be used to improve food safety. In this review, the effects of fermentation on the protein digestibility and micronutrient availability in plant-derived raw materials are surveyed. The main focus is on the most important legume, cereal, and pseudocereal species (Cicer arietinum, Phaseolus vulgaris, Vicia faba, Lupinus angustifolius, Pisum sativum, Glycine max; Avena sativa, Secale cereale, Triticum aestivum, Triticum durum, Sorghum bicolor; and Chenopodium quinoa, respectively) of the agrifood sector. -
