Even though Gann was thought to be "religious",[25] a careful analysis of his writings finds that he did not agree with the conventional Christian teachings. On page 99 to 100 of his novel The Tunnel Thru the Air (1927),[27] Gann revealed some of his personal beliefs towards religion through a conversation between the protagonist, Robert Gordon, and his mother:
Gann Analysis Unveiled
We found some modules were remarkably associated with new tumor events, biochemical recurrence, pathological T, pathological N, and clinical stage, particularly for purple, red, and salmon modules. We found the red, purple, salmon, pink, magenta, midnight blue, grey60, and brown modules were significantly associated with RFS. The results of survival analysis based on these modules further indicated their biological significance, particularly as prognostic markers for PCa patients. Based on the importance of these modules, we chose purple and red modules as representatives to investigate their functional classification. KEGG enrichment analyses showed that these genes were mostly enriched in Cell Cycle and Aldarate Metabolism pathways, supporting their significant role in tumor development, consistent with the GSEA results.
Hub-gene analyses found that KIF23, PARM1, DONSON, MCM3, PCCA, and MTL5 played a critical role in connecting with other genes in the purple module, while PILRβ, FAM156A, and AHSA2 genes were strongly connected with other genes in the red module. We also tested the predictive values of these top positive/negative hub genes and found most of them displayed moderate predictive ability. Furthermore, based on the importance of these genes, we validated their expression in our own clinical samples. Before that, we confirmed the prognostic role of these genes as markers for RFS based on an online database and found the PILRβ was consistent with the module analysis, and that it is significantly associated with RFS of PCa patients. Therefore, we validated the PILRβ expression in our own clinical samples and found it was significantly higher in the high-risk tissues compared with the low-/middle-risk PCa tissues. Unfortunately, due to lack of follow-up information (we collected the clinical samples for less than 1 year, and the case number was also limited), we did not perform survival analysis in our cohort.
The rod and cone photoreceptors in the retina are highly specialized neurons that capture photons under dim and bright light, respectively. Loss of rod photoreceptors is an early clinical manifestation in most retinal neurodegenerative diseases that eventually result in cone cell death and blindness. The transcription factor NRL is a key regulator of rod photoreceptor cell fate and gene expression. Here, we report an integrated analysis of the global transcriptional targets of NRL. We have discovered that both NRL and CRX binding sites are present in genes involved in photoreceptor function, implying their close synergistic relationship. In vivo loss-of-function analysis of 16 NRL target genes in the mouse retina resulted in death or abnormal morphology of photoreceptor cells. Furthermore, we identified histone demethylase Kdm5b as a secondary node in the NRL-centered gene regulatory network. Our studies identify NRL target genes as excellent candidates for mutation screening of patients with retinal degenerative diseases, and they provide the foundation for elucidating regulation of rod homeostasis and targets for therapeutic intervention in diseases involving photoreceptor dysfunction.

1. The long-term maintenance of metabolism of representative drugs and steroid hormone substrates by cytochromes P-450, and their inducibility, was investigated in primary cultures of adult rat hepatocytes. Collagenase-isolated cells were seeded on collagen-coated tissue culture dishes and cultured in Chee's essential media in the presence or absence of phenobarbital (PB, 0.75 mM, 96 h or continuously) and 3-methylcholanthrene (MC, 5 microM, 48 h) for up to 45 days. 2. Hepatic P-450-dependent metabolism of diazepam to its primary oxidized metabolite was inducible by PB both in vivo (monitored in isolated liver microsomes) and in cultured cells (up to 100% and 400% increases in the formation of temazepam and nordiazepam, respectively, after 25 days in culture). Hepatocyte microsomal androstenedione 16 beta-hydroxylase activity was also induced by PB treatment of the hepatocytes (350-650% increase in 20-day-old cells). 3. Western blot analysis revealed that immunoreactive P-450 form PB-4 (IIB1), which catalysed the N-demethylation of diazepam to yield nordiazepam as well as androstenedione 16 beta-hydroxylation when assayed in a purified enzyme system, was substantially elevated following PB treatment of the cultured cells. Similarly, MC induced 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase activity (up to 2000% increase from 5 to 45 days) as well as immunoreactive P-450c (IA1) in the hepatocyte cultures. 4. These studies demonstrate that cytochrome P-450 activities can be maintained, and also induced, after extended periods of time in hepatocytes cultured using a simple collagen mixture as substrate and a commercially available tissue culture media. This culture system should provide an important tool for further studies of P-450-dependent xenobiotic metabolism in a well-defined, liver-derived cellular system.

Twenty-nine of 100 sera from patients recently infected with varicella-zoster virus (VZV) were found to cross-react with human T cell leukaemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) antigen in the particle agglutination (PA) assay using HTLV-1 antigen-coated gelatin particles. Anti-VZV IgM antibodies were shown to be responsible for this cross-reactivity. Western blot analysis revealed that PA-positive anti-VZV sera reacted with the HTLV-1 gag p19 protein in HTLV-1-infected cells and recombinant p19 protein produced in Escherichia coli. By using a truncated p19, the cross-reactive region was located to the C-terminal 17 amino acids of p19. One oligopeptide derived from the C terminus, PQIP-PPYVEPT (amino acids 115 to 125), was capable of inhibiting PA, suggesting that this peptide carries the cross-reactive epitope. A homologous sequence was found in the VZV gene 22 protein by database analysis, and the oligopeptide TNIPPPLALLR (amino acids 1330 to 1340) had the ability to inhibit PA. These findings suggest that some IgM antibodies against the VZV gene 22 protein produced in the early phase of VZV infection are cross-reactive with the HTLV-1 gag p19 protein because they recognize an antigenic determinant containing an IPPP tetrapeptide. 2ff7e9595c
