Abstract
An integrated computational framework was developed in this study for modeling high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) thermal ablation. The temperature field was obtained by solving the bioheat transfer equation (BHTE) through the finite element method; while, the thermal lesion was considered as a denatured material experiencing phase transformation and modeled with the latent heat. An equivalent attenuation coefficient, which considers the temperature-dependent properties of the target material and the ultrasound diffraction due to bubbles, was proposed in the nonlinear thermal transient analysis. Finally, a modified thermal dose formulation was proposed to predict the lesion size, shape and location. In-vitro thermal ablation experiments on transparent tissue phantoms at different energy levels were carried out to validate this computational framework. The temperature histories and lesion areas from the proposed model show good correlation with those from the in-vitro experiments.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are involved in various physiological processes, such as behavior changes, mood alteration, and regulation of immune-system activity. Thus, GPCRs are popular targets in drug screening, and a well-designed assay can speed up the discovery of novel drug candidates. The Promega cAMP-Glo Assay is a homogenous bioluminescent assay to monitor changes in intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) concentrations in response to the effect of an agonist, antagonist, or test compound on GPCRs. Together with the Labcyte Echo 555 acoustic liquid handler and the Deerac Fluidics Equator HTS reagent dispenser, this setup can screen compounds in 96-, 384-, and 1536-well formats for their effects on GPCRs. Here, we describe our optimization of the cAMP-Glo assay in 1536-well format, validate the pharmacology, and assess the assay robustness for HTS. We have successfully demonstrated the use of the assay in primary screening applications of known agonist and antagonist compounds, and confirmed the primary hits via secondary screening. Implementing a high-throughput miniaturized GPCR assay as demonstrated here allows effective screening for potential drug candidates.

Abstract
Published mutations in deoxyguanosine kinase (DGUOK) cause mitochondrial DNA depletion and a clinical phenotype that consists of neonatal liver failure, nystagmus and hypotonia. In this series, we have identified 15 different mutations in the DGUOK gene from 9 kindreds. Among them, 12 have not previously been reported. Nonsense, splice site, or frame-shift mutations that produce truncated proteins predominate over missense mutations. All patients who harbor null mutations had early onset liver failure and significant neurological disease. These patients have all died before 2-years of age. Conversely, two patients carrying missense mutations had isolated liver disease and are alive in their 4th year of life without liver transplant. Five subjects were detected by newborn screening, with elevated tyrosine or phenylalanine. Consequently, this disease should be considered if elevated tyrosine is identified by newborn screening. Mitochondrial DNA content was below 10% of controls in liver in all but one case and modestly reduced in blood cells. With this paper a total of 39 different mutations in DGUOK have been identified. The most frequent mutation, c.763_c.766dupGATT, occurs in 8 unrelated kindreds. 70% of mutations occur in only one kindred, suggesting full sequencing of this gene is required for diagnosis. The presentation of one case with apparent viral hepatitis, without neurological disease, suggests that this disease should be considered in patients with infantile liver failure regardless of the presence of neurological features or apparent infectious etiology.

Abstract
Compounds used in high throughput screening (HTS) are typically dissolved in DMSO. These solutions are stored automation-friendly racks of wells or tubes. DMSO is hygroscopic and quickly absorbs water from the atmosphere. When present in DMSO compound solutions, water can accelerate degradation and precipitation. Understanding DMSO hydration in an HTS compound library can improve storage and screening methods by managing the impact of water on compound stability. A non-destructive, acoustic method compatible with HTS has been developed to measure water content in DMSO solutions. Performance of this acoustic method was compared with an optical technique and found to be in good agreement. The accuracy and precision of acoustic measurements was shown to be under 3% over the tested range of DMSO solutions (0% to 35% water by volume) and insensitive to the presence of HTS compounds at typical storage concentrations. Time course studies of hydration for wells in 384-well and 1536-well microplates were performed. Well geometry, fluid volume, well position and atmospheric conditions were all factors in hydration rate. High rates of hydration were seen in lower-volume fills, higher-density multi-well plates and when there was a large differential between the humidity of the lab and the water content of the DMSO. For example, a 1536-well microplate filled with 2microL of 100% DMSO exposed for one hour to a laboratory environment with approximately 40% relative humidity will absorb over 6% water by volume. Understanding DMSO hydration rates as well as the ability to reverse library hydration are important steps towards managing stability and availability of compound libraries.

Abstract
The advantages of using 1, 96, or 384 precision glass syringes in automated high-throughput microdispensers in creating highly uniform and reproducible DNA, protein, and organic compound array filters and slides are described. Using the Hydra Microdispenser and Tango Liquid Handling system, 0.1-5 ng (in 50-300 nL) PCR-amplified, human cancer-related genes and housekeeping genes were spotted onto nylon membranes and coated slides. Protein solutions of 50 microg/mL to 1 mg/mL were spotted onto coated slides or onto MaxiSorp 96-well plates. Up to 6144 spots/membrane and up to 1000 spots/slide were printed. The size of the spots created by glass syringes was uniform and reproducible (precision variation of less than 5%) from spot to spot and membrane to membrane. Using a Tango 384 system, a total of ten 6144-spot filters can be produced in approximately 25 min, translating into a spotting speed of 2.5 min/membrane.

Abstract
The success of a predictive assay for radiotherapy relies on the use of one or more tumor cell traits that equate with tumor radioresistance or radiosensitivity. These traits can be divided into intrinsic (genetic) and extrinsic (epi-genetic) factors. Most probably, a tumor's response to radiotherapy will be influenced by both of these sets of traits. Radiobiological analysis of cultured cells derived from explanted tumors of head and neck patients has shown that in vitro survival of tumor cells is not the only factor affecting tumor radiocurability. Two possible reasons are the high degree of selection involved in growing the cells in vitro and the inability to assess the contribution of the cell-cell contact effect with cultured cells. A possible means of overcoming both of these problems would be an assessment of the radiosensitivity of the cell population immediately after removal from the tumor. Since a good correlation exists between intrinsic cellular radioresistance and DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR) as assayed by the Neutral Elution technique [21], we have investigated the feasibility of using asymmetric field inversion gel electrophoresis (AFIGE) in identifying resistant tumor cells in vitro. AFIGE has several advantages over neutral elution in that it is faster (approximately 60-80 samples can be run on the same agarose gel) and, most importantly, one can visualize DNA damage and repair by staining the DNA with ethidium bromide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, we have measured the ability of two bleomycin-sensitive mutants, XR-1 and BL-10, to repair DNA double-strands breaks (DSB). XR-1 was originally isolated by its hypersensitivity to killing with ionizing radiation, but we have also shown that it is sensitive to killing with bleomycin. In contrast, BL-10 was isolated by its extreme sensitivity to killing with bleomycin, and it is not cross-sensitive to other DNA breaking agents. A 1-h treatment of bleomycin induces a similar number of DNA double-strand breaks in XR-1, BL-10 and CHO cells. However, XR-1 is unable to repair bleomycin-induced DNA double-strand breaks, whereas BL-10 possesses the same kinetics of repair as parental CHO. These data lead us to conclude that at least two mechanisms of killing exist for bleomycin; one of them is DNA DSB-dependent, and the other seems to be DNA DSB-independent.

Abstract
Methanococcus voltae is a methanogenic bacterium which requires leucine, isoleucine, and acetate for growth. However, it also can synthesize these amino acids, and it is capable of low levels of autotrophic acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) biosynthesis. When cells were grown in the presence of 14CO2, as well as in the presence of compounds required for growth, the alanine found in the cellular protein was radiolabeled. The percentages of radiolabel in the C-1, C-2, and C-3 positions of alanine were 64, 24, and 16%, respectively. The incorporation of radiolabel into the C-2 and C-3 positions of alanine demonstrated the autotrophic acetyl-CoA biosynthetic pathway in this bacterium. Additional evidence was obtained in cell extracts in which autotrophically synthesized acetyl-CoA was trapped into lactate. In these extracts, both CO and CH2O stimulated acetyl-CoA synthesis. 14CH2O was specifically incorporated into the C-3 of lactate. Cell extracts of M. voltae also contained low levels of CO dehydrogenase, 13 nmol min-1 mg of protein-1. These results further confirmed the presence of the autotrophic acetyl-CoA biosynthetic pathway in M. voltae. Likewise, 14CO2 and [U-14C]acetate were also incorporated into leucine and isoleucine during growth. During growth with [U-14C]leucine or [U-14C]isoleucine, the specific radioactivity of these amino acids in the culture medium declined, and the specific radioactivities of these amino acids recovered from the cellular protein were 32 to 40% lower than the initial specific radioactivities in the medium. Cell extracts of M. voltae also contained levels of isopropyl malate synthase, an enzyme that is specific to the leucine biosynthetic pathway, of 0.8 nmol min-1 mg of protein-1. Thus, M. voltae is capable of autotrophic CO2 fixation and leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis.

Abstract
To detect autotrophic CO2 assimilation in cell extracts of Methanococcus maripaludis, lactate dehydrogenase and NADH were added to convert pyruvate formed from autotrophically synthesized acetyl coenzyme A to lactate. The lactate produced was determined spectrophotometrically. When CO2 fixation was pulled in the direction of lactate synthesis, CO2 reduction to methane was inhibited. Bromoethanesulfonate (BES), a potent inhibitor of methanogenesis, enhanced lactate synthesis, and methyl coenzyme M inhibited it in the absence of BES. Lactate synthesis was dependent on CO2 and H2, but H2 + CO2-independent synthesis was also observed. In cell extracts, the rate of lactate synthesis was about 1.2 nmol min-1 mg of protein-1. When BES was added, the rate of lactate synthesis increased to 2.3 nmol min-1 mg of protein-1. Because acetyl coenzyme A did not stimulate lactate synthesis, pyruvate synthase may have been the limiting activity in these assays. Radiolabel from 14CO2 was incorporated into lactate. The percentages of radiolabel in the C-1, C-2, and C-3 positions of lactate were 73, 33, and 11%, respectively. Both carbon monoxide and formaldehyde stimulated lactate synthesis. 14CH2O was specifically incorporated into the C-3 of lactate, and 14CO was incorporated into the C-1 and C-2 positions. Low concentrations of cyanide also inhibited autotrophic growth, CO dehydrogenase activity, and autotrophic lactate synthesis. These observations are in agreement with the acetogenic pathway of autotrophic CO2 assimilation.

Abstract
Comminuted bacon, processed to contain target levels of 40 μg NaNO2/g and 0, 0.25 or 0.75% sucrose or 0.75% glucose, was inoculated with a mixture of spores of 20 strains of Clostridium botulinum (400 spores per g) and was canned under vacuum. Portions were irradiated using 137Cs at doses of 0, 0.19, 0.38, 0.75, 1.12 and 1.5 Mrad. Cans were incubated for 1, 2, 4 or 8 wk at 30°C. Some cans of nonirradiated bacon without or with 0.25% sucrose became toxic in 2 wk; with 0.75% sucrose, toxin production was delayed to 8 wk. Bacon irradiated at 0.75 Mrad, made with or without sucrose, became toxic in 2 to 4 wk, whereas most cans of bacon irradiated at 1.5 Mrad remained toxin-free for the 8-wk incubation period. A comparison of bacon made with 0.75% sucrose or glucose showed no difference between the sugars in the rates of toxin production by C. botulinum in irradiated cans of bacon. Irradiation at 0.19 Mrad increased the rate of toxin formation over nonirradiated bacon in sugar-containing (0.75%) bacon, but had no effect in sugar-free bacon. The pH of nonirradiated bacon containing 0.75% glucose or sucrose decreased from pH 6.12 and 6.11, respectively, to pH 5.63 and 5.67 after 8 wk of incubation at 30°C. The titratable acidity showed a concurrent increase. The pH and titratable acidity of bacon irradiated at 0.19 Mrad or higher showed no changes.
