Wireless Alarm Systems
One of the most popular do-it-yourself home security solutions is the installation of a wireless alarm system. Affordable and easy to install, wireless systems are highly recommended to anyone who wants to avoid drilling into walls or who wants to bypass complicated wiring instructions without compromising security. We are pleased to offer a vast array of wireless alarm systems-- among the most popular being iSmart Alarm, Honeywell LYNX, DSC, GE Interlogix, Visonic, and 2GIG.
Not only are wireless alarm systems ideal solutions for those who wish to skip a more labor-intensive installation process, but they offer security for places where a hardwired system is not practical. Such includes structures where hardwired systems are not an option due to factors like brick or concrete walls, or even structures with tile flooring or a lack of attic space-- all which limit options for wiring installations. Wireless alarm systems, on the other hand, can be installed just about anywhere.
Using the latest technology, wireless systems also offer reliable security. While a hardwired system is still recommended for large properties, a wireless alarm system offers strong security for medium-sized homes and office spaces.
Wireless alarm systems are also completely expandable. The kits that we offer include key security components like contacts, motion sensors and keypads, and more of these can be added at any time as needed. Homeowners can also expand systems to include GSM modules, which allow the system to interact with a home owner's mobile device, such as a smartphone or a tablet, by sending a text message or email whenever certain events occur while the system is armed, such as a door or a window being opened, or whenever the system has been tampered with.

Mark helped us sell our current home and negotiate a new home. His advice was invaluable through the tough process. After eighteen years in one house we needed his guidance for each step. He is honest, responds quickly and knows the market

Ratings & Reviews
We worked with Mark on relocating to Charlotte from NY and really had a great experience. Mark was very knowledgable about the area, answered all our questions and took us out to look at many homes numerous times. We were able to find a home and the process was extremely easy. If we had questions he or his assistant got right back to us. He definitely went above and beyond to help organize certain things before we were in town that made our lives easier. We would recommend Mark and would definitely use him as our realtor again in the future
Mark Munson was instrumental in helping us buy our first home. He was extremely knowledgeable, forthright and efficient during our home search. His experience within the exact neighborhoods in which we were searching was very helpful. With my husband and I working two time intensive jobs, he was willing and able to make himself available on short notice and at odd times to view potential homes. He made the home buying process, including offer negotiations and repair negotiations as smooth as possible. His experience and professionalism were evident, and i appreciated his honest opinion when given. I would recommend Mark and Vivian to anyone buying or selling a home in the south Charlotte area.
We selected Mark because of his friendliness and knowledge. New to Charlotte as home-buyers and first-time home buyers at that, we did not really know what we were looking for. Mark was very patient and persistent in helping us determine what we were looking for and then finding the home to match. He has great knowledge of the Charlotte market and real estate in general; he provided great insights regarding the build quality and the potential or lack there-of of all the homes we toured. Mark helped us evaluate every aspect of the homes and brought a lot to our attention we would otherwise have not known. Mark is also an adept negotiator, advising us throughout the whole buying process, and getting us the best deal possible. His expertise really shows through his ability to address any and all concerns. We absolutely recommend using the Munson Team and will certainly do so again ourselves!
I HIGHLY recommend The Munson Team. Vivian was my main point of contact during my first home buying experience and Mark filled in when Vivian's schedule couldn't always meet mine. Both were very helpful, responsive, and overall thoughtful during my experience. They are well connected to all types of contracting professionals that are needed for any type of inspection to make your experience overall easier. With my purchase, we came across an issue during inspection and . Vivian negotiated it in my favor and actually saved me thousands during the process!
This is a first class real estate team that was very knowledgeable and helpful during my buying experience. They have been in the business for 10+ years and are very in tune with the markets and networked within the community.
Whether buying or selling you should call them, they have my highest endorsement and will continue to have my business when I'm selling or buying my next property.
Vivian and Mark Munson were incredible to work with. Vivian & Mark sold our house in 3 days. Our house was on and off the market for 3 years (with 2 different agents) and they sold it within 3 days of listing it with them.
They exercised every aspect of what we were looking for in an agent. Not only were they knowledgeable and creative, they negotiated a great price for us as well. I would recommend Mark & Vivian to my familiy and friends.
Vivian & Mark Munson were the only realtors we considered when we unexpectedly decided to sell our house. They were the listing agents when we bought our house 13 years ago. We watched their approach and success through the years and knew they were a great match. Together they provide years of experience and professionalism. They offered excellent advice, as we prepared our house to go on the market, to make our house "showing" ready. Once our house started having showings they were quick to provide helpful feedback. When it became obvious from the feedback that we might need to make some changes they were straightforward and honest. They assisted is im making the best decision and our house sold very quickly. Vivian & Mark always placed our best interest first. They were always responsive to our calls and provided the right amount of support anxious sellers need. We would recommend Vivian & Mark Munson with no reservations. As a matter of fact, we already have. Our friends are having a successful house search with the Munson's! They are a powerful team and will provide excellent service whether you are buying or selling a home.
As first-time homebuyers, selecting the right house can be a daunting task. Working with a realtor that was familiar with Charlotte neighborhoods and knowledgeable about the local market dispelled our fears and made the process of finding the right home a smooth one. My husband and I worked with Mark and were very pleased with his accessibility, expertise and attention to detail. Always patient and personable, Mark worked to ensure that we were first in line to check out new listings and always provided a thorough rundown of property specs. When it came to negotiations on our house, he was committed to our best interests and intent on making our closing stress-free. We can't thank Mark enough for his role in helping us find the perfect home!
Mark was wonderful...we were first time home buyers and he was very helpful and patient with us throughout the entire process. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, Mark Munson is your man!
I was in the market as a first time home buyer doing my own research online. But looking at pictures was only getting me so far. I needed someone to show me some places and guide me through this process for the first time and to tell me what I should be looking for. I found Vivian and Mark on Zillow at the very start of my new home search. Mark was very quick in responding to all of my initial inquires and we met shortly after. I knew he was my "guy." He provided recommendations based on my criteria so we began our search. We visited many places over the next few weeks; he was very flexible, even arranging times to meet after hours and weekends. Once we found "the place" for me we submitted an offer almost immediately and it was accepted. But the thing about the place I picked is it was a short sale – those can take a quite a while to get approval from the bank and be very frustrating . . . and my frustration almost boiled over a couple of times. But Mark was very patient and talked me off of the ledge each time. After a four month wait I got the call from Mark -- I had gotten it finally. So it was on to closing. Mark made sure I had all of my ducks in a row from inspection and financing to signing on the dotted line and everything in between. It went off without a hitch.
This process was long for me since I decided on a short sale property – about 6 months from the time I met Mark and saw the first property to the time I moved into my new place. Mark was very patient and supportive along the way. His experience and expertise we invaluable – we even had a solid contingency plan just in case something fell through. I would recommend Mark Munson to anyone that needs a Realtor. He guided me through the entire process that lead to the purchase of my new home and I love it. Thanks Mark.

Nike appoints former Olympic champion Sebastian Coe as advisor
Send this to a friend

- Managing Editor- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Nike Inc. on Tuesday said Olympic gold medal-winning middle distance runner Sebastian Coe will serve an international ambassader promoting its program tackling global inactivity.
Coe won the 1,500-meter competition at the 1980 Moscow Olympics for Great Britain, making him one of the first runners to take home gold wearing Nikes. He went on to become a noted conservative politician who spearheaded the organization of the 2012 London Olympics. After his career, he remained an ambassador for the Nike brand.
Now he's taking on an advisory role with Washington County-based Nike (NYSE: NKE) focused on the brand's "Designed to Move" campaign, a partnership with 70 organizations unveiled in September identifying physical inactivity as a looming threat to the world's social and economic prosperity.
Nike at the time issued a report concluding that children now face a shorter life expectancy than their parents because movement has been engineered out of daily life. If nothing happens to change this, half of the Chinese and American populations and one-third of the British and Brazilian populations — around 1 billion people —will be physically inactive by 2030, the report found.
The company said its plan involves collaborating with other organizations across the globe to help make physical activity, play and sports more "highly valued and an expected, enjoyable part of life."
"Seb's determination, his will to win and his phenomenal performances as an athlete have always inspired us at Nike," Nike CEO Mark Parker said in a news release. "We recognize the significance of his vast experience and commitment to sports as both an athlete and administrator and we're looking forward to working closely with him in his new role with us."
Parker will have more to say on the subject on Thursday. He'll appear in Chicago alongside First Lady Michelle Obama and a collection of A-list Nike-sponsored athletes such as tennis star Serena Williams to announce an initiative to bring physical activity back to schools.
Erik Siemers is managing editor of the Portland Business Journal.

|Customer service:
|Return/Replacement policy:
"It has taken so long to get the merchandise -- which hasn't arrived after many, many weeks -- that I can't comment on the quality or usefulness of the product, but only on the order fulfillment process. Bottom line: it appears that orders are collected for several weeks after the initial appearance of the ad on the web site, at which time the order is submitted to the overseas supplier, after which the supplier produces the items, and (hopefully) the supplier ships the merchandise to the customers. I've had this issue with Midnight Box before, but never to this extent: it's been a month and 16 days since I placed my order, and all I've heard is that the order has shipped from heaven-knows-where by who-knows-what method of untrackable shipping. My recommendation is to order from these folks if, and only if, (1) their price is compellingl and (2) you can afford to wait an indeterminate amount of time to get your product. [Note: My wife and I ordered a new, built-to-spec, Subaru Forester a few days before I placed my Midnight Box order, and we got the car in about 5 weeks.]"
"Thank you for your feedback, you will be emailed shortly."
"The glasses I ordered were just what I expected. Good product. Shipping is extremely slow. But for the price can't complain to much"
"Thank you for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated!!"
"1. Order dog Furminator for short hair dog - long hair dog Furminator delivered
2. box with toy arrived crushed
"Thank you for your feed, you will be emailed shortly."
"After my initial complaint that my order had not arrived after a significant period of time, a Midnight Box representative followed up immediately to communicate with the vendor and attempt to bring about a positive result in this situation. That kind of customer service is meaningful - thank you."
"Thank you for your feedback, you will be emailed shortly."
"Very slow. Still have not received the order from them. Do not be in a hurry.
Revised my rating. Received the order today after being asked by MidnightBox. And since I received the order today I did change the rating.
I placed the order on 7/3/2014 and received on 8/18/2014. What would be an appropriate rating? 6 week lead time is a bit long"
"Thank you for your feedback, you will be emailed shortly."
"There shipping time is pathetic. You're better off paying a little extra some where else and receive the pruchase in a timely manner than to save a couple of bucks with Midnight Box and wait 3-4 weeks to receive your purchase.
Updated 18 Aug 2014: I just received this from Midnight Box "I am very sorry that your order arrived later than expected.
As you know ratings can have a huge impact on our business, as well as our customer and vendor relationships. Would you consider revising your rating?" --- I never received the my orders any quicker when I made similar requests. I have had an account for many years and 99%, if not 100%, the shipping took forever. This is a bad way to conduct business and buyers are MUCH better off paying a couple of bucks more somewhere else if they want it in a timely manner. If the buyer wants the product 4-6 weeks after placing the order then my all means order from Midnight Box because they will live up to that expectation."
"Thank you for your feedback, you will be emailed shortly."
"Did not get complete order."
"Thank you for your feedback, you will be emailed shortly."
"You have to wait for ever for your product with no communication. "
"Thank you for your feedback, you will emailed shortly."
"I order a gold plated poker cards on 06/16/14 and today is 08/15/14 still didn't get my package. I contact them via email and tried to refund my money but they never response. Couple week ago they email me "finally" and said ur order has been shipped and please track your order in ur account. I checked my account but there is no tracking number and still today my status shows shipped but never got it.
I recommend to everyone not to placed ur order here, I know its very cheap price here on there website but don't be get robbed by this cheaters "
"Thank you for your feedback, you will be emailed shortly."
"The product I received was delivered exactly the way I had expected. If i had to be picky about it the one thing that could be better would be the shipping. It took a bit longer than I thought it would have, however, it did get here in one piece and working perfectly, so I can't complain too much."
"Thank you for your feedback! It is greatly appreciated!!!!"
"I emailed about 20 days after placing the order because the shipment had not moved, I was assured it would come. Emailed again 2 weeks later because the shipment tracking still had not moved. Someone finally responded and told me the order would not be shipped. One star is the lowest rating I could give, which is about accurate, at least someone responded to my emails I suppose."
"Thank you for your feedback, you will be emailed shortly."
"One if the laser units did not function. :("
"Thank you for your feedback,it is greatly appreciated!"
"shipping takes so long to receive item. "
"Thank you for your feedback. It is greatly appreciated!!"
"I was pleased with how quickly Midnight Box completed and shipped my order. Item was packaged well and arrived without damage.
I check their website everyday waiting for the next great deal!"
"Thank you for your feedback!! It is greatly appreciated!"
"Never received, says it didn't pass customs. Waiting still for them to send another one..........received almost 2 months later Thank You"

justchandra Review
I originally bought these panties because they looked good. I was happy to find that they have a wonderful silky feel while offering some lift in rear and control on my tummy. I was impressed enough to but several more colours and a few pair for my husband. He enjoys the slippery nylon and they support and caress him all day. They help hold in his tummy and contour to his anatomy ^. Thanks for a great product.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. excellent
- How accurate was the sizing? okay
- Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

A St. Louis County grand jury ruled that there was not enough evidence to charge Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson with a crime in the wake of the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
The decision, read late Monday night, means that the jury of 12 did not find enough evidence to bring charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter or armed criminal action against Wilson. A 75 percent ruling is necessary in Missouri to proceed with criminal charges, meaning nine out of 12 jury members needed to believe their was enough evidence to proceed with charges. In all, the jury met 25 times, heard from 60 witnesses, three medical examiners and listened to 70 hours of testimony.
As expected, the decision was met with some furor. Riots broke out in Ferguson as President Barack Obama urged citizens to express their opinions peacefully. The video is truly a sight to see.
The rioting lasted through the night, and reports indicate that at least 12 businesses were set ablaze. 61 people were arrested, and thankfully, nobody was seriously injured.
Examining the Evidence
Without a doubt, the events in Ferguson are going to stick with Americans for a long time. Tensions are running high, and we're not going to get up on a soapbox and preach one way or another. Instead, just like in the court of law, we want to facilitate the spread of information and evidence so citizens can stay informed about what just happened.
Here is a comprehensive list of the information presented to the grand jury. Included in this list is the grand jury testimony, witness statements, forensic reports, police interviews and much much more. Seek out coverage of the aftermath from news sites and learn why some feel justice was served while others feel like the truth has remained hidden. If you want to peacefully demonstrate your disagreement with the decision, gatherings have been planned in the Twin Cities throughout the day.
We will continue with our Ferguson coverage if any new developments take place.

It is known that relay assisted wireless transmission in a triplet, which consists of a source node, intermediate relay node and a destination node results in less power consumption than direct transmission between the source and destination pair. However, extra power compensation is needed for error propagation in the relay-assisted scenario to provision the same end-to-end bit error rate (BER) constraint as the direct transmission. This key point is neglected in the literature. In this paper, we first quantify the impact of power compensation on power savings due to relaying for M-ary QAM modulation schemes, and compare power savings performances of simple relaying and regenerative repeating at the intermediate node. Second, we present upper and lower bounds for the power savings under consideration of lognormal shadowing.

Some of my friends have been concerned about how many partners they have been with. Many have been with an insane amount of people and some have had sex with a relatively small amount. But my question is, where is the sliding scale? How many is too many and how many is to little? With our lives fueled by sex, I wonder if people truly think there is a specific number you should stop at or stride for?

Why Unrequited Giving Doesn't Keep a Relationship Together
Many people are "relentless" givers. They give and give to another and when it is not appreciated, the giver becomes upset and indignant. How can you treat me like this after all I've done for you? Are you someone who goes into relationship after relationship giving and giving and receiving nothing, not even appreciation, in return? Do you always find yourself saying, "I'm such a good person. I'm so generous.
Dr. Bonnie Encourages "Pre-Nups" For Couples Who Are Going To Be
According to CBS News, there's a new trend: couples are putting together cohabitation agreements when they move in together as a type of pre-nup precursor (http://cbsloc.al/JJLAeu). These agreements, or commitment contracts, address typical issues like how to split assets should the couple break up, but they can also set day-to-day ground rules like who shops for the groceries, how the rent is divided, and so forth.

Men Are Simple
I think it is appropriate that my first column should deal with the most fundamental truth about men, and that is this: Men are simple. I know some of you may be thinking that I've completely sold out my brethren in an effort to pander to my female readers and gain their trust. But that is just not true. Because "simple" is not bad, or inferior, or lacking value and substance. "Simple" means simply…not complex.
I know that experiences with my immediate family and friends are changing because I am connecting with clarity to awareness. The veil is lifting as the lies dissolve and the secret held within is revealed. I feel the difference in me. I see the truth in others. My time in separation starts with me. Feelings of guilt, jealousy, self-doubt, resentment or hurt can rise up within when triggered by the presence of someone else's secret. They may not even be aware of the information that is in them.

Article: Development of Assay for Determining Free IgE Levels in Serum from Patients Treated with Omalizumab.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Omalizumab, a monoclonal anti-IgE antibody, is currently indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe allergic asthma. To measure active IgE levels in sera from patients treated with omalizumab, the IgE subfraction in complex with omalizumab should be eliminated from total IgE, and free IgE levels can then be determined. With the aim of therapeutic monitoring for anti-IgE therapy, we developed a new ELISA for free IgE. Methods: We used recombinant human soluble FcεRIα as a capture antigen and a biotinylated polyclonal anti-IgE antibody for detection. Using the newly developed ELISA, we measured the serum free IgE levels weekly in four asthmatic patients after their first omalizumab injection. We also measured the serum free IgE levels in 54 patients treated with omalizumab for over 4 weeks. Results: This assay was technically robust, the mean recovery rate in serum was 93.16% ± 5.34%. For all patients, omalizumab treatment significantly reduced serum free IgE levels prior to the second omalizumab injection. To maintain the benefit of omalizumab, serum free IgE concentrations should be <50ng/ml. However, in 14 of 54 patients treated with omalizumab for over 4 weeks, serum free IgE concentrations measured by our ELISA were >50ng/ml. Conclusions: Our data suggest that the measurement of free IgE levels using our newly developed ELISA would be useful for monitoring serum free IgE levels during omalizumab therapy.Allergology International 05/2014; 63 Suppl 1:37-47.

ABSTRACT: Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) has a varied etiology, including anticoagulation drugs. There is conflicting evidence whether low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) has a low risk of bleeding complications compared to unfractionated heparin. We report here a case of DAH in a 74-year-old woman who was administered enoxaparin, a LMWH, after bilateral total knee arthroplasty. Although congestive heart failure after blood transfusion and fluid infusion could in part be associated with the bleeding, LMWH may be a major cause of DAH since the patient quickly recovered after its cessation. DAH should be of concern when acute respiratory failure with ground-glass shadow develops in both lungs during anticoagulation therapy with LMWH.Respirology Case Reports. 09/2013; 1(1).

Article: Impact of thymidylate synthase protein expression on efficacy of chemotherapy in advanced lung cancer patients.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Advanced lung cancer is primarily treated with platinum combination chemotherapy, however, its prognosis remains poor. The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between the expression of thymidylate synthase (TS) in cancer tissues and the efficacy of chemotherapy in patients with advanced lung cancer in order to clarify the role of TS in the overall response. In total, 120 patients diagnosed with lung cancer between June 2004 and December 2010 at Nihon University Hospital, Tokyo, Japan, were included in this study. Cancer tissue specimens were obtained from the included patients by surgery or bronchofiberscopy prior to treatment. The expression of TS protein was evaluated using specimens immunostained with anti-TS antibody and H-scoring. TS protein expression tended to be higher in smokers compared with non-smokers. Overall survival (OS) (median value) was significantly prolonged in the low TS expression group compared with the high TS expression group. More favorable therapeutic effects were observed in the high TS expression group compared with the low TS expression group, when carboplatin + paclitaxel combined chemotherapy (CbPac therapy) was used. When the therapeutic effects were compared between CbPac therapy and carboplatin + pemetrexed combined chemotherapy (CbPem therapy) in the high TS expression group, prolongation of OS (median value) was observed with CbPac therapy. The present study suggests that TS protein expression is a critical factor in determining the efficacy of CbPac therapy in lung cancer. CbPac therapy is more effective when TS protein is highly expressed in lung cancer tissue.Molecular and clinical oncology. 05/2013; 1(3):411-417.
Article: Semi-Nested Real-Time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction Methods for the Successful Quantitation of Cytokeratin mRNA Expression Levels for the Subtyping of Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma Using Paraffin-Embedded and Microdissected Lung Biopsy Specimens.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In patients with inoperable advanced non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLCs), histological subtyping using small-mount biopsy specimens was often required to decide the indications for drug treatment. The aim of this study was to assess the utility of highly sensitive mRNA quantitation for the subtyping of advanced NSCLC using small formalin fixing and paraffin embedding (FFPE) biopsy samples. Cytokeratin (CK) 6, CK7, CK14, CK18, and thyroid transcription factor (TTF)-1 mRNA expression levels were measured using semi-nested real-time quantitative (snq) reverse-transcribed polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in microdissected tumor cells collected from 52 lung biopsies. Our results using the present snqRT-PCR method showed an improvement in mRNA quantitation from small FFPE samples, and the mRNA expression level using snqRT-PCR was correlated with the immunohistochemical protein expression level. CK7, CK18, and TTF-1 mRNA were expressed at significantly higher levels (P<0.05) in adenocarcinoma (AD) than in squamous cell carcinoma (SQ), while CK6 and CK14 mRNA expression was significantly higher (P<0.05) in SQ than in AD. Each histology-specific CK, particularly CK18 in AD and CK6 in SQ, were shown to be correlated with a poor prognosis (P=0.02, 0.02, respectively). Our results demonstrated that a quantitative CK subtype mRNA analysis from lung biopsy samples can be useful for predicting the histology subtype and prognosis of advanced NSCLC.Acta histochemica et cytochemica official journal of the Japan Society of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry 04/2013; 46(2):85-96. · 1.48 Impact Factor
Article: Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) regulates leukotriene D4-induced HB-EGF and ADAM12 expression in human airway smooth muscle cells.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Cysteinyl leukotriene (LT) induces bronchoconstriction as well as airway inflammation and remodeling. Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is associated with remodeling in airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells in bronchial asthma. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) 12 is an enzyme implicated in the ectodomain shedding of membrane-anchored proHB-EGF and release of HB-EGF. Objective: To determine the role of LTD4 in HB-EGF and ADAM12 expression and the regulatory mechanism in human ASM cells, we analyzed a functioning signaling molecule in LTD4-induced HB-EGF and ADAM12 expression in human ASM cells by focusing on the role of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. Method: Human ASM cells were stimulated LTD4 in a time-dependent manner. We observed phosphorylation of MAPK by western blot analysis and the expression of HB-EGF and ADAM12 by quantitative PCR analysis of mRNA. Furthermore, we pretreated with specific inhibitors of MAPK and LTD4. Results: LTD4 induced an extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK), p38 MAPK and c-Jun-NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation in human ASM cells. LTD4 induced HB-EGF and ADAM12 mRNA expression. Furthermore, the regulation of LTD4-induced HB-EGF and ADAM12 mRNA expression is associated with ERK and p38 MAPK, not but JNK. Conclusion: we conclude that p38 MAPK and ERK are capable of regulating LTD4-induced HB-EGF and ADAM12 expression in human ASM cells. In bronchial asthma, the specific inhibitor of p38 MAPK and ERK may produce beneficial effects in controlling airway remodeling and inflammation.Asian Pacific journal of allergy and immunology / launched by the Allergy and Immunology Society of Thailand 03/2013; 31(1):58-66. · 0.79 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A 44-year-old woman was hospitalized with a 2-day history of cough, sputum, and fever. There was no history of atopic dermatitis or asthma. On admission, the chest X-ray revealed scattered infiltration in the left upper lung fields. Further examination revealed peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid eosinophilia. Transbronchial lung biopsy revealed eosinophilic pneumonia, with eosinophil infiltration of the alveoli, destroyed basal lumina, and connecting intraluminal fibrosis of the alveolar walls. Based on the findings, we made the diagnosis of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia. Treatment with prednisolone at 60 mg/day resulted in dramatic improvement of both the symptoms and the radiologic abnormalities.Asian Pacific journal of allergy and immunology / launched by the Allergy and Immunology Society of Thailand 12/2012; 30(4):321-5. · 0.79 Impact Factor
Article: Association between Expression of Thymidylate Synthase, Dihydrofolate Reductase, and Glycinamide Ribonucleotide Formyltransferase and Efficacy of Pemetrexed in Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pemetrexed inhibits three key folate enzymes: thymidylate synthetase (TYMS), dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFT). The relationship between the clinical efficacy of pemetrexed and the expression of folate enzymes in lung cancer cells is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine whether TYMS, DHFR, and GARFT expression affect the therapeutic efficacy of pemetrexed. Participants (n=50) were patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with pemetrexed. Samples were obtained by tumor biopsy before treatment. We isolated cancer cells from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues using laser microdissection, and mRNA levels were analyzed using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Protein expression was evaluated using immunohistochemistry. We assessed the association between TYMS, DHFR, and GARFT expression and the therapeutic efficacy of pemetrexed. The median age was 66.8 years. Compared to healthy tissues, the relative TYMS mRNA expression ranged from 0.001 to 41.613 (mean 4.638±1.357), and was significantly lower in responders compared to non-responders (1.671±0.844 versus 5.978±1.895, p=0.0142). Progression-free survival was prolonged in patients with lower TYMS mRNA expression compared to those with higher TYMS mRNA expression, but the difference was not statistically significant (18.0 versus 13.3 weeks, p=0.3001). DHFR and GARFT mRNA expression did not correlate with the efficacy of pemetrexed. We specifically analyzed TYMS, DHFR, and GARFT mRNA expression levels in lung cancer cells from biopsy specimens using laser microdissection. TYMS mRNA expression affected the therapeutic efficacy of pemetrexed and could therefore constitute a useful predictive biomarker for NSCLC patients receiving pemetrexed.Anticancer research 10/2012; 32(10):4589-96. · 1.71 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Sleep problems in humans have been reported to impact seriously on daily function and to have a close association with well-being. To examine the effects of individual sleep problems on physical and mental health, we conducted a nationwide epidemiological survey and examined the associations between sleep problems and perceived health status. Cross-sectional surveys with a face-to-face interview were conducted in August and September, 2009, as part of the Nihon University Sleep and Mental Health Epidemiology Project (NUSMEP). Data from 2559 people aged 20 years or older were analyzed (response rate 54.0%). Participants completed a questionnaire on perceived physical and mental health statuses, and sleep problems including the presence or absence of insomnia symptoms (i.e., difficulty initiating sleep [DIS], difficulty maintaining sleep [DMS], and early morning awakening [EMA]), excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), poor sleep quality (PSQ), short sleep duration (SSD), and long sleep duration (LSD). The prevalence of DIS, DMS, and EMA was 14.9%, 26.6%, and 11.7%, respectively, and 32.7% of the sample reported at least one of them. At the complaint level, the prevalence of EDS, PSQ, SSD, and LSD was 1.4%, 21.7%, 4.0%, and 3.2%, respectively. Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that DMS, PSQ, SSD, and LSD were independently associated with poor perceived physical health status; DIS, EDS, and PSQ were independently associated with poor perceived mental health status. This study has demonstrated that sleep problems have individual significance with regard to perceived physical or mental health status.Sleep Medicine 05/2012; 13(7):831-7. · 3.49 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways, but its pathogenesis is incompletely understood. While asthma is a complex disease caused by multiple factors, epithelial barrier damage is a cardinal feature. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are the most effective anti-inflammatory drugs in the treatment of asthma. However, the effects of GCs on the airway epithelial barrier have not been evaluated. Epithelial barrier functions were evaluated in cultured human airway epithelial cell monolayers, Calu-3 and 16HBE. Then, the cells were treated with dexamethasone (Dex), fulticasone propionate (FP), or budesonide (BD) for 5 days. Permeability measured by transepithelial electrical resistance was increased by treatment with Dex, FP, and BD in a dose-dependent manner. Permeability to fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled dextran was markedly reduced by these treatments. Immunocytostaining revealed that Dex treatment potentiated tight junction formation in these polarized epithelial cells. Knockdown of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) by small interference RNA blunted the effects of Dex on barrier integrity. Although EGFR expression was not affected by Dex treatment, EGFR phosphorylation was enhanced in Dex-treated cells. This is suggesting that EGFR are important for this phenomenon. These findings suggest that GC inhalation therapy can improve epithelial barrier integrity and might contribute to the therapeutic effects of GCs for treating asthma.International immunopharmacology 12/2011; 12(2):350-7. · 2.21 Impact Factor
Article: Heregulin activation of ErbB2/ErbB3 signaling potentiates the integrity of airway epithelial barrier.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Members of the ErbB family of the receptor protein tyrosine kinase superfamily mediate heregulin (HRG)-induced cell responses. Here we investigated HRG activation of ErbB receptors, and the role of this activation in the development of the permeability barrier in airway epithelial cells (AECs). Two airway epithelial-like cell lines, Calu-3 and 16HBE were exposed to HRG or no stimulus and were evaluated with respect to their paracellular permeability as determined by transepithelial electric resistance (TER) and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran flux. Tight junctions (TJs) were assessed by immunocytochemical localization of occludin and zonula occludens-1. HRG promoted the development of the permeability barrier and TJ formation by monolayers of Calu-3 and 16HBE cells. Calu-3 cells expressed ErbB1, ErbB2, and ErbB3, but not ErbB4, on their surface. ErbB3 knockdown by small interference RNA (siRNA) blunted the effects of HRG on the permeability barrier. ErbB3 is known as a kinase-dead receptor and relies on other members of the family for its phosphorylation. To identify its heterodimerization partner, we knocked down the expression of other ErbB family receptors. We found that HRG's effect on the permeability barrier could be significantly attenuated by transfecting cells with ErbB2 siRNA but not with EGFR siRNA. These results indicate that HRG activation of ErbB2/ErbB3 heterodimers is essential for regulation of the permeability barrier in AECs.Experimental Cell Research 08/2011; 317(13):1947-53. · 3.56 Impact Factor
Article: Cyclosporine A induces apoptosis of human lung adenocarcinoma cells via caspase-dependent pathway.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aerosolized cyclosporine A (CsA) increases the local concentration of CsA in lung tissue and has proven to be an effective therapy for refractory rejection in lung transplant patients. However, the safety of high concentrations of CsA on tumour progression remains controversial. Human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells were cultured with or without 1-3 μg/ml of CsA. The percentage of apoptotic cells was evaluated by Annexin V staining. The expressions of caspase-3, -9, -8 and cytochrome c were determined by Western blotting. CsA therapy suppressed the growth of human lung cancer cells and increased the percentage of apoptotic cells compared with control cells. Western blot analysis revealed that CsA increased the levels of cytosolic cytochrome c and cleaved caspase-3 and -9, but not of cleaved caspase-8 in the lung cancer cells, suggesting that CsA-induced apoptosis is associated with the activation of caspase-3 and -9. Our findings indicate that a high concentration of CsA has cytocidal effects through the caspase-3- and -9-dependent apoptotic pathway. This result shows that local administration of CsA does not increase the risk of secondary lung cancer.Anticancer research 06/2011; 31(6):2129-34. · 1.71 Impact Factor
Article: Identifying unrecognized airflow obstruction in cases with lifestyle-related diseases using a data mining system with electronic medical records.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Airflow obstruction is the most important pathophysiologic factor in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although the prevalence of airflow obstruction has been increasing worldwide, airflow obstruction is often under-recognized in clinical practice because of insufficient use of spirometry. The aim of the present study was to identify unrecognized airflow obstruction in cases with lifestyle-related diseases using a data mining system that we have developed for use with electronic medical records. Clinical, spirometric data on 27,111 patients aged 40 years or older treated during the period from January 1999 to December 2008 was retrospectively collected from the electronic medical records of the Nihon University School of Medicine clinical data warehouse. Airflow obstruction was defined according to the criteria established by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD). Of the 27,111 patients, 6,098 (22.5%) showed airflow obstruction. Airflow obstruction was significantly more frequent in males, the elderly and smokers. The prevalence of airflow obstruction in patients with atherosclerosis (29.3%) was greater than that in patients with dyslipidemia (24.3%), diabetes mellitus (23.1%) or hypertension (27.1%). Only 14% of patients with airflow obstruction had a previous diagnosis of COPD. Latent COPD patients with airflow obstruction are highly prevalent, not only in those over 70 years of age with lifestyle-related diseases, but also in middle-aged patients. Spirometry should be widely used for patients with lifestyle-related diseases and a history of smoking, to effectively detect undiagnosed COPD.Rinsho byori.

Article: Protease-mediated house dust mite allergen-induced reactive oxygen species production by neutrophils.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A growing body of evidence indicates that neutrophils may play an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma. However, the involvement of the house dust mite (HDM) in neutrophil activation associated with the pathogenesis of asthma is not fully understood yet. To address this situation, we harvested neutrophils isolated from 15 HDM-sensitized asthmatic subjects and 18 HDM-sensitized nonasthmatic subjects and measured the amounts of neutrophil reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in response to the major HDM allergens Der-f and Der-f1. Der-f and Der-f1 significantly increased ROS production in neutrophils isolated from asthmatic subjects versus nonasthmatic subjects. To assess the involvement of Der-f-specific IgE antibodies binding to their receptors in HDM allergen-induced ROS production, we examined whether neutrophils produce ROS by cross-linking of cell-bound IgE antibodies with anti-IgE. Treatment with anti-IgE antibodies did not induce ROS production by neutrophils isolated from 6 asthmatic subjects. On the other hand, pretreatment of Der-f with E-64, a cysteine protease inhibitor, eliminated Der-f-induced ROS production. These results suggest that HDM-allergen exposure may result in greater production of ROS in asthmatic patients and may be involved in the pathogenesis of asthma.International Archives of Allergy and Immunology 01/2011; 155 Suppl 1:104-9. · 2.25 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A 34-year-old woman visited our hospital with chest pain and was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) on admission. Echocardiography imaging revealed the presence of complex masses in the aortic valve. As serum tumor marker CA19-9 was elevated, she was screened for malignant disease. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a solitary pulmonary nodule, but because the nodule was small and non-specific, CT follow-up was considered appropriate. However, she developed hemorrhagic stroke in the short term and was subsequently diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma. Clinicians should be on alert for the occurrence of AMI in patients with small-size lung cancer.Internal Medicine 01/2011; 50(18):1997-2002. · 0.97 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Mast cell is one of the central effectors in inflammatory responses. Recent studies suggest that a promising therapeutic approach for various inflammatory immune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and type I allergies, is to inhibit mast cell growth and/or survival. Studies also indicate that a balanced lipid metabolism is crucial for regulating the life span of cells. Oxysterol is a well-known regulator of lipid metabolism and has diverse functions, such as inhibition of the mevalonate isoprenoid pathway, efflux of free cholesterols, and synthesis of cholesterol esters. Here, we show that 24(S),25-epoxycholesterol, a representative endogenous oxysterol, induces apoptosis in bone marrow-derived murine mast cells. Furthermore, we have revealed, for the first time, that the accumulation of neutral lipids catalyzed by acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase in the cells was involved in induction of mast cell apoptosis. Our present findings confer new insights into the roles of lipid metabolism during oxysterol-mediated mast cell apoptosis.Experimental Cell Research 11/2010; 316(19):3272-81. · 3.56 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A 65-year-old man consulted our hospital with a complaint of bloody sputum in February 2006, and chest computed tomography (CT) showed a mediastinal tumor. Percutaneous needle biopsy was performed. Pathological examination of the specimen revealed spindle-shaped cells; on immunohistochemical testing the tumor cells were positive for vimentin, keratin, EMA, CD99, actin, alpha-SMA, CD56, NF, and S100, and amplication of the SYT-SSX fusion gene was also seen. Thus, we confirmed a diagnosis of synovial sarcoma. The patient received chemotherapy, radiation therapy and hyperthermia therapy, but the tumor progressed and he died in October 2007. Synovial sarcoma commonly occurs in the vicinity of the large joints. We report an important case of mediastinal synovial sarcoma, which is comparatively rare.Nihon Kokyūki Gakkai zasshi = the journal of the Japanese Respiratory Society. 10/2010; 48(10):734-8.
Article: Obstructive sleep apnoea is associated with risk factors comprising the metabolic syndrome.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Several features of OSA syndrome suggest that it is a manifestation of the metabolic syndrome (MS). In this study, we investigated the prevalence of the MS among male Japanese patients with OSA, as well as the relationship between OSA in non-obese patients and components of the MS other than obesity (hypertension, dyslipidaemia and glucose intolerance). The study included 416 Japanese men who were diagnosed as having OSA by polysomnography. Among these, 101 non-obese patients were selected and the severity of OSA, as well as the prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidaemia and glucose intolerance, was assessed. The MS was associated with OSA in 218/416 patients (52.4%). A significant increase in the prevalence of the MS was associated with increased severity of OSA, as categorized according to AHI. In the non-obese patients with OSA (mean age 57.6 years, BMI 22.7 kg/m(2), AHI 34.3 events/h), hypertension, dyslipidaemia and glucose intolerance were identified in 70 (69.3%), 43 (42.6%) and 20 patients (19.8%), respectively. At least two of these factors were identified in 40 patients (39.6%). Non-obese patients with severe OSA had a significantly higher prevalence of two or more of these factors (33/59 patients, 55.9%). Although Asians are generally less obese than Caucasians, the prevalence of the MS was high among Japanese patients with OSA, and even among non-obese patients, OSA was associated with risk factors for the MS.Respirology 10/2010; 15(7):1122-6. · 2.78 Impact Factor
Article: The Rac1/JNK pathway is critical for EGFR-dependent barrier formation in human airway epithelial cells.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The airway epithelial barrier provides defenses against inhaled antigens and pathogens, and alterations of epithelial barrier function have been proposed to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of chronic airway diseases. Although the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays roles in various physiological and pathological processes on the airway epithelium, the role of EGFR on barrier function in the airway remains largely unknown. In the present study, we assessed the effects of EGFR activation on paracellular permeability in airway epithelial cells (AECs). EGFR activation induced by the addition of EGF increased transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) in AECs. An EGFR-blocking antibody eradicated the development of TER, paracellular influx of dextran, and spatial organization of tight junction. Moreover, the effects of EGFR activation on paracellular permeability were eradicated by knockdown of occludin. To identify the EGFR signaling pathway that regulates permeability barrier development, we investigated the effects of several MAP kinase inhibitors on permeability barrier function. Pretreatment with a JNK-specific inhibitor, but not an ERK- or p38-specific inhibitor, attenuated the development of TER induced by EGFR activation. Rac1 is one of the upstream activators for JNK in EGFR signaling. Rac1 knockdown attenuated the phosphorylation of JNK activation and EGFR-mediated TER development. These results suggest that EGFR positively regulates permeability barrier development through the Rac1/JNK-dependent pathway.AJP Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology 10/2010; 300(1):L56-63. · 3.52 Impact Factor

How long did summers last as a kid?
Splashing into the lake, riding bikes across busy streets.
Crushes, broken hearts, bruises and dirty knees.
We all know summer lasted "forever" as a kid..
Everything was new – we really lived everything we did.
And now? How long do they last, in this world of the mundane?
I don't know about you but I ache to live endless summers again.

I agree generally with Cherlyn Crawford's April, 17, 2013 letter to the editor concerning the Brainard brouhaha, but I would have added more.
When I was a kid, parents drilled into boys' heads that "boys just don't hit girls", period. So this obviously isn't a defense of boys/men hitting girls/women. Nor do I know Brainard from the man in the moon. Having said that, and as a men's rights advocate — there are far fewer of us than there are misandristic gender feminists (women have learned to network, men haven't) — I would say this particular soap opera circus is a joke.
If I were a woman, I would not stay for one second with a violent man. And as a man I would boot any woman out of my house who would complain to government authorities about a domestic argument that got a little out of hand. That's too much like a modern kid calling the government because s/he got a few swats on the bottom. They do it because they can.
So, is the woman still living with Brainard? If so, both he and she are disordered, codependent jokes.
Letter writer Don Pettygrove has a valid-but-naive point about due process and presumption of innocence. Problem is, America has become a full-blown police state where the U.S Constitution and rule of law are dead. Everything is political manipulation. All the misandristic gender feminists come out from under their rocks to bemoan one man slapping one woman during a domestic argument, but nobody cares that we have a blatantly constitutionally ineligible usurper in the office of President who used forged documents to get there — all because he was elected twice don'tcha know. Using that same beyond-stupid "reasoning", Brainard won his election don'tcha know— so what's the problem?
And where is all the concern over the fact that, thanks to "affirmative action" and "diversity", we have militant misandristic gender feminists sitting on family court benches? Where is all the concern over the fact that it is federal policy that fathers have no due process rights when it comes to child-support enforcement? Hmmm? Why is there no concern over the fact that fathers routinely get screwed over because local communities get substantially matching Soc Sec funds for all the money they can illegally squeeze out of "deadbeat" dads?
Last, but not least, let's not forget local political realities. If the identical accusation had been made against such as Jay Seaton or Tim Foster, you can bet your sweet bippy (and last dollar) that the story would never had made the Sentinel.
