The human complement regulator CD55 is a key molecule protecting self-cells from complement-mediated lysis. X-ray diffraction and analytical ultracentrifugation data reveal rod-like arrangement of four short consensus repeat (SCR) domains in both the crystal solution. stalk linking SCR to glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor extended by addition 11 highly charged O-glycans positions an estimated 177 A above membrane. Mutation mapping hydrophobic potential analysis suggest that interaction...

BackgroundThe German multicenter randomized phase II larynx organ preservation (LOP) trial DeLOS-II was carried out to prove the hypothesis that cetuximab (E) added induction chemotherapy (IC) and radiotherapy improves laryngectomy-free survival (LFS; with preserved larynx) in locally advanced laryngeal/hypopharyngeal cancer (LHSCC).Patients methodsTreatment-naïve patients stage III/IV LHSCC amenable total laryngectomy (TL) were three cycles IC TPF [docetaxel (T) cisplatin (P) 75 mg/m2/day...

Combined sewer systems are designed to transport stormwater surface run off in addition the dry weather flows up defined limits. In most European countries, hydraulic loads greater than design flow discharged directly into receiving water bodies, with minimal treatment (screening, sedimentation), or no at all. One feasible solution prevent waters from strong negative impacts seems be application of vertical constructed wetlands. Germany, first attempts use this ecological technology were...

The St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) has been used to measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This analysis evaluated the psychometric properties SGRQ using data from 428 IPF who participated a 12-month, randomised, placebo-controlled phase II trial nintedanib. Internal consistency (Cronbach's α) was 0.91 for total and >0.70 domain scores. Test–retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficients) 0.77, 0.69 0.66...

Introduction We evaluated the psychometric properties of St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) using data from two INPULSIS trials. Methods Data 1061 treated nintedanib or placebo were pooled. Internal consistency, test–retest reliability, construct validity, known-groups responsiveness and responder thresholds examined. Results Cronbach’s α was 0.93 for SGRQ total score >0.75 domain scores. In stable disease based on change...

The French Outermost Regions are under tropical climate yet still have to comply with both and EU regulations. vertical-flow constructed wetland systems appear well adapted the technical specifics of these regions but their adaptation requires new design guidelines be defined (area needed, number filters, type plants, material used, etc.). A study was started in 2008, backing from national water authorities, implement full-scale experimental sites assess impacts local context on...
