    1. We describe here a case of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease with a serous cystic neoplasm of the whole pancreas. The patient was a 35-year-old woman suffering from a palpable abdominal tumor. She had a history of hemangioblastomas of the cerebellum. CT revealed large solid tumors in the pancreatic head and body, and multiple cystic lesions in the whole pancreas as well as a right renal tumor. When endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed, bleeding from the duodenal papilla was detected. Since she had some distinguishing clinical features, the diagnosis of VHL disease was made. The preoperative diagnosis of the pancreatic lesion was serous cystic neoplasms with hemosuccus pancreaticus and total pancreatectomy was performed. Histological examination of the specimen revealed serous cystic neoplasms which occupied the entire pancreas. VHL cases operated on for serous cystic neoplasms of the entire pancreas are very rare.

  2. Nov 2026
    1. A 32-year old man was invited to our centre for a consultation at the Polish VHL Registry as a member of a family with suspected von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL). He had a history of left facial nerve palsy at the age of 19 years due to tumour of the temporal bone. The patient was operated on a few months later and a histopathological diagnosis of choroid plexus papilloma was made. Two years later he was reoperated on due to recurrence and treated with adjunctive radiotherapy. Three years later the patient developed ataxia and was treated surgically because of a cerebellar tumour that was histopathologically diagnosed as haemangioblastoma. Due to recurrence of this tumour the patient was reoperated on two years later. He also had a history of retinal capillary angioma treated by cryo- and laser therapy.

      PatientID: None

      KindredID: 1

      Case: M, 32Y0M, Ethnicity Unknown

      DiseaseAssertion: Assumed VHL

      FamilyInfo: Many of the patient’s family members developed lesions in sites suggesting VHL including multiple central nervous system tumours (probable hemangioblastomas), renal tumours (probable renal cell carcinomas), pancreatic tumours (probable cysts and neuroendocrine tumours), temporal bone tumours (probable ELST), and some of the family members have lost their sight because of retinal detachment (probably in the case of retinal haemangiomas). However, the diagnosis of VHL has not been established in the family. Two of his children were also found to have the NM_000551.3:c.194C>T(S65L) mutation after analysis of blood samples.

      CaseHPOFreeText: The patient had a history of left facial nerve palsy at the age of 19 years due to tumour of the temporal bone with a recurrence two years later (at 21Y). The patient was originally histopathologically diagnosed with choroid plexus papilloma, but was re-diagnosed with an endolymphatic sac tumour on reexamination of the sample. Three years later (24Y) the patient developed ataxia because of a cerebellar tumour that was histopathologically diagnosed as hemangioblastoma. He had a recurrence two years later (26Y). He also had a history of retinal capillary angioma.

      VariantEvidence: Authors state that the c.712C>T germline familial variant of the VHL gene in this patient is “inferred from the family”. No genetic testing was done on this patient to confirm this. Being that this familial variant is out of bound with respect to the NM_000551.3 reference sequence, it was concluded that this variant is noted in the Latif et al. (1993) reference and was translated to c.499C>T (NM_000551.3).

    1. Case presentationA 35-year-old woman with VHL underwent total pancreatectomy and right nephrectomy for pancreatic SCN and renal cell carcinoma, respectively. At the 4th year follow-up examination after the resection, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed arterially hyper-enhanced neoplastic lesions in the segment VI and VIII of the liver. Partial resections of the liver were performed 53 months after the initial surgery. At the 6th month follow-up examination from the second surgery, one and two tumors located in the liver segment III, and VIII, respectively, were detected by contrast-enhanced CT and Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI. Anterior segmentectomy and partial resection of the segment III were performed 66 months after the initial surgery and 13 months after the second, respectively. The tumors were pathologically diagnosed as liver metastases of pancreatic SCN synonymous with serous cystadenocarcinoma. She remains disease-free without recurrence 6.5 years after the last operation.

      CaseHPOFreeText: At 35-year old, the female patient was diagnosed with VHL due to clinical presentation of pancreatic serous cystic neoplasm and renal cell carcinoma, and cerebellar hemangioblastomas that were surgically removed at age 21. The patient had underwent total pancreatectomy and right nephrectomy for pancreatic serous cystic neoplasm (SCN) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC), respectively. 4 years later, tumors in the liver were detected by CT scan and radiographically diagnosed as metasta-ses of the pancreatic SCN or RCC. Again, morphology and immunohistochemical findings of the resected tumors again were similar to the primary pancreatic SCN, thus diagnosed as multiple metachronous liver metastases of pancreatic SCN. As of 47Y, the patient has remained disease-free without any recurrence after the third operation.

    1. The proband (Patient III‐1) was admitted into our ward in October 2015 with a complaint of an occipital headache for 1 month. He was conscious, and a physical examination did not reveal ataxia. Tests for cranial nerve function, limb sensation and motor function were unremarkable. Contrast‐enhanced brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a solid‐cystic mass in the vermis cerebelli and left cerebellar hemisphere (Figure ​(Figure2a),2a), indicating a radiological diagnosis of CH. Cerebellar tumor resection was performed through a sub‐occipital craniotomy under general anesthesia, and the tumor was completely removed. The tumor, which was 30 mm in diameter, was pink and soft and composed of dilated veins and dense blood capillaries. A postoperative pathological analysis of the tumor indicated a hemangioblastoma. The patient completed outpatient follow‐up in October 2018. The occipital headache had disappeared, brain MRI showed no recurrence, and abdominal computerized tomography (CT) revealed no neoplasms.

    1. Patient 1 The first patient had no familial history of VHL disease and was 21 years old when he experienced a sudden right hearing loss. The resulting cophosis was irreversible. The radiological work-up revealed an osteolytic mass of the right temporal bone of heterogeneous signal on both T1- and T2-weighted images (Fig. 1), consistent with the diagnosis of endolymphatic sac tumor. The tumor invaded the otic capsule and the petrous apex but did not extend in the cerebellopontine angle. Its mean tumor diameter (MTD) at diagnosis was approximately 2.6 cm (formula—MTD = (length×width×height)1/3MTD = (length×width×height)1/3 {\hbox{MTD = }}{\left( {{\hbox{length}} \times {\hbox{width}} \times {\hbox{height}}} \right)^{{1/3}}} ) [16]. The rest of the neurological exam was normal and a conservative management was decided. During follow-up, the patient suffered from other manifestations of VHL disease: retinal and central nervous system hemangioblastomas, pheochromocytoma, renal tumors, and pancreatic cysts. The germline mutation of the VHL gene was also identified (c.337C>T, p.Arg113X). After 20 years of radiological surveillance, the size of his endolymphatic sac tumor remains stable (Fig. 2). Apart from his deafness, the patient does not suffer from any vestibular symptoms and his facial function is normal (House and Brackmann grade I).

    1. The Dreamof the Rood uses alliteration rather thanrhyme; it is divided into half-lines (witha pause, or caesura, in the middle) thatvary between short rhythmic sections andlonger hypermetrical sections (with moresyllables).

      I was excited when I saw these poetic techniques for the first time. There are so many techniques, such as alliteration, half-lines, and caesura. I also think the people who identified these techniques in such old poems and explained them to us are really impressive.

    2. All angels of God beheld it,Fair through future ages; ’twas no criminal’s cross indeed

      The cross is no longer seen as an instrument of execution. It's transformed into a symbol of salvation and glory. As I grew up in a church, I heard this several times before. While not until I thought about it again did I realize what a brilliant contrast it was.

    1. I stroke the beam of my lamp slowly along the flank of something more permanent than fish or weed

      As the author stroke his beam of his lamp on the flank, what he was doing can be looking back the wounds and emotions he had. And it's something that comes and never goes, unlike fish or weed, which doesn't leave lasting impact to our brain.

    2. This is the place. And I am here, the mermaid whose dark hair streams black, the merman in his armored body.

      The speaker finally reached the wreck and become part of it. Calling herself both the mermaid and the merman could suggest that she feels connected to different sides of human experience, not limited by gender.

    3. I came to explore the wreck. The words are purposes. The words are maps.

      This part might mean that the speaker’s goal is to truly explore and understand the wreck, not just read about it. The “words” could represent stories or explanations that guide her, like maps, but she still needs to see the truth for herself.

    4. I go down. My flippers cripple me, I crawl like an insect down the ladder and there is no one to tell me when the ocean will begin.

      This might describe how the she feels awkward and alone while going deeper into the sea. The image of crawling “like an insect” could suggest weakness or discomfort.

    5. I put on the body-armor of black rubber the absurd flippers the grave and awkward mask.

      I think it’s interesting how the ordinary diving equipment becomes symbolic, like “black rubber body armor” and “awkward mask,” suggesting emotional or psychological protection.

    6. And now: it is easy to forget what I came for among so many who have always lived here

      I think when she says it's easy to forget what she came for, it;s because there's so much to take in down there ; not just the wounds and broken things, but also strange , hauntingly beautiful details that make you want to stay and wander.Tat's why there seem to be people who have 'always lived here' - they've settles among the ruins, maybe trapped by it or maybe finding a kind of comfort in it.

    7. We are, I am, you are by cowardice or courage the one who find our way back to this scene carrying a knife, a camera a book of myths in which our names do not appear.

      I think this is powerful because it shows that we are all part of this search. Even if our names weren't written in the old stories, we can still go down there and see the wreck for ourselves. I think the wreck here might be our traumas or things we try to forgetting. this line is really deep

    8. the drowned face always staring toward the sun the evidence of damage worn by salt and sway into this threadbare beauty the ribs of the disaster curving their assertion among the tentative haunters.

      I love how she describes the wreck so vividly that we can picture it. it makes me think of the dark times in our own lives when we wanted to reach the sunlight so badly. some things we believed would last forever ended up drifting into the 'ocean of lost memories' I especially like the part about the ribs, it feels like those old hurts we try to ignore, but every now and then they poke us again. we can't really erase them ;we just learn to move around them, like tentative haunters of our own past.

    9. There is a ladder. The ladder is always there hanging innocently close to the side of the schooner. We know what it is for, we who have used it

      the ladder is a symbol of a way into depths of history/memory, but here she wrote 'we who have used it' implying that not everybody chooses descend..Only the ones who choose to climb down can really start to face themselves and hidden truths.

    1. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel both

      I think the two roads symbolize the choice we all face in life - one may be destiny and the other fate, but no matter which we choose , it leads us to a certain way of living and becoming ourselves.

    1. Whatever she planted grew as if by magic, and her fame as a grower of .flowers spread over three counties. Because of her creativity with her flow-ers, even my memories of poverty are seen through a screen of blooms-sun-flowers, petunias, roses, dahlias, forsythia, spirea, delphiniums, verbena ...and on and on.

      Her mother's garden symbolizes suppressed female creativity-beauty and art growing from struggle, like magic.

    1. Eine neue französische Studie beschäftigt sich mit einer Folge des dramatischen Rückgangs der Insekt. Mangels bestäubender Insekten befruchten sich Pflanzen selbst. Dadurch werden die nächsten Generationen kleiner und liefern weniger Nektar. Es kommt zu einem Rückkopplungseffekt, weil so noch weniger Insekten überleben. In dem Interview mit der liberation erklärt der Biologe diesen Effekt als Beispiel für eine unkontrollierbare und nicht mehr zurücknehmbare, von Menschen ausgelöste Entwicklung. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/biodiversite/pollinisation-et-disparition-des-insectes-nous-sommes-dans-une-spirale-incontrolable-20231221_CV6BZLN2WJANLN2A2EFUGCJLZI/

    1. They also express concern that students without the deep and broad background knowledge and fluency that affluent children generally absorb from their homes and communities first need to develop that core knowledge before they can benefit from a collaborative, project-based approach.

      This is an interesting point - can you not profit from PBL if you haven't had the lived experiences of a more privileged studennt?

    2. Research on both inequality across schools and tracking within schools has suggested that students in more affluent schools and top tracks are given the kind of problem-solving education that befits the future managerial class, whereas students in lower tracks and higher-poverty schools are given the kind of rule-following tasks that mirror much of factory and other working-class work.”

      These insights are based on the research of Jean Anyon. She collected data in 5 different schools, that served particular social classes and noted the differences in how students are taught, based on the social class the school served.

    3. When most of our current pedagogical practices were developed more than a century ago, the essential economic purpose of public schools was to produce industrial workers who were fast and reliable when assigned repetitive mechanical or clerical tasks. In this century, deeper-learning proponents argue, the job market requires a very different set of skills, one that our current educational system is not configured to help students develop: the ability to work in teams, to present ideas to a group, to write effectively, to think deeply and analytically about problems, to take information and techniques learned in one context and adapt them to a new and unfamiliar problem or situation.

      Important point - the way that we have traditionally taught are a reflection of a different world. Yes...there has been that little evolution in how we teach!

    4. But students in schools serving mostly low-income children were almost all (91 percent) in classrooms marked by basic, uninteresting teaching.

      Think back to your SL school's SARC report - is you school serving mostly low-income students?

    5. And while the Science authors found instruction to be basic and repetitive even in American schools with a mostly middle-class or upper-middle-class student population, they found that the situation was considerably worse in schools that enrolled a lot of low-income children.

      How do you think this finding impacts other aspects of classroom life - like motivation and classroom management?

    6. Pianta’s researchers found that in almost every school they observed, the instruction students received was repetitive and undemanding, limited mostly to the endless practice of basic skills.

      This is depressing. Do you feel that this is true about the instruction that you observed in your SL placement?

    1. Here is Alter’s version of the well-known opening of Genesis 21, part of the story of Isaac, the miracle baby of 90-year-old Sarah, and her 99-year-old husband, Abraham: “And the Lord singled out Sarah.” The word Alter is translating as “singled out” is pakad. The King James, and most others after it, translate it as “visited.” The Jewish Publication Society has it as “remembered.” Others translate it as “kept his word,” “took note of,” “was gracious to,” “was attentive to” or “blessed.” A good literal version, provided by the canny contemporary translator Everett Fox, has it as “took account of” — and there is something numerical and even administrative about pakad. (Elsewhere in the Bible, in the context of describing a public census, pakad means “to number”; in modern Hebrew, it is related to the words for “officer,” “clerk” and “roll-call.”) Weaving together its numerical dimensions with a thread of bureaucratic banality, Alter yields the anxious verb “singled out” and with it, reveals new layers of tension in this story.

      During shmita, the land is left to lie fallow and all agricultural activity, including plowing, planting, pruning and harvesting, is forbidden by halakha (Jewish law).

      The sabbath year (shmita; Hebrew: שמיטה, literally "release"), also called the sabbatical year or shǝvi'it (שביעית‎, literally "seventh"), or "Sabbath of The Land", is the seventh year of the seven-year agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah in the Land of Israel and is observed in Judaism.

    1. By focusing on the condition of the looking glass, Joyce suggests the artist does not start his work with a clean slate. Rather there is considerable baggage he or she must overcome. This baggage might include colonial conditions or biased assumptions. Form and context influence content.

      This seems a bit analogous to Peggy McIntosh's Backpack of White Privilege I was looking at yesterday.

    1. La loi ne vise donc pas à interdire l’accès à ces postes pour les chrétiens, les juifs, les musulmans.

      Il manque des prémisses à cette conclusion.

      Bien sûr, la loi ne vise pas directement à interdire l’accès aux postes pour les chrétiens, les juifs, les musulmans (mais dans les faits, c'est un peu ce qui arrive, visé ou non).<br> Voyons comment on y arriverait.

      Décortiquons l'argument :

      1. La loi interdit le port des signes religieux au travail.
      2. Les principales religions au Québec n’obligent pas le port de signes religieux au travail.
      3. Si la religion oblige une personne de porter un signe religieux, cette personne n'a pas accès au travail (<mark>IMPLICATION</mark>).
      4. Les principales religions au Québec n’obligent pas le port de signes religieux (l’implication demeure vraie).
      5. La loi n’empêche pas l’accès au travail aux personnes religieuses (conclusion à examiner).
    2. les religions qui empêchent leurs fidèles d’enlever leurs signes religieux

      Dérive suspecte

      Il y a peut-être un glissement ici : on parle d'abord du port des signes religieux (exprimé positivement) et maintenant d’empêcher d'enlever des signes religieux (exprimé négativement).

    3. Ce n’est pas l’islam qui empêche les musulmanes d’enlever leur voile au travail.
      1. Si la constitution canadienne protège les religions, il faut respecter ce que disent les religions.
      2. Si c'est écrit noir sur blanc dans un texte sacré, c'est ce que dit la religion.
      3. La constitution canadienne protège les religions (et ce que disent les religions).
      4. Il n'existe aucun énoncé religieux noir sur blanc qui empêche de porter un signe religieux au travail.
      5. Aussi : il n'existe aucun énoncé religieux noir sur blanc qui empêche de louer un appartement à un homosexuel.

      Énoncés atomiques :

      • C : La constitution canadienne
      • P : Protéger les religions
      • S : Ce que dit un texte sacré
      • E : Empêcher d'enlever un signe religieux au travail
    4. musulmans rigoristes

      Rigoriste?

      J'ignore si le mot sert mal le propos de R. Martineau, mais « rigoriste » qualifie bien quelqu’un qui a un attachement « très strict aux règles morales et religieuses » (donc, en toute conformité avec ce que les religions disent).

      Martineau laisse croire qu’une « conception rigide » est une « conception erronée » – pas nécessairement! On peut avoir une conception très « rigide » mais rigoureusement vraie; on peut aussi avoir une conception complètement spéculative – est-ce le cas des personnes religieuses qui défendent leur droit de religion face à la loi 21?

    5. il ne peut invoquer la liberté de religion pour avoir le droit de refuser un appartement à un gai

      Argument par l'absurde

      Avec un argument par l'absurde, on peut dire n'importe quoi après avoir dit quelque chose d'absurde.

      Refuser l'appartement à un homosexuel est effectivement absurde, puisqu'on doit évidemment louer l'appartement à un homosexuel. De cette contradiction, je peux dire n'importe quoi, comme dire que de ne pas employer une personne religieuse est absurde. Conclusion : il faut employer une personne ouvertement religieuse.

    6. textes sacrés

      Lesquels sont justement sujets à interprétation – ce qui ne signifie pas un infini relativisme pour tout un chacun, mais que ce n’est justement pas toujours écrit noir sur blanc.

    7. HORS DE TOUT DOUTE

      C’est bien là le problème.<br> Martineau souhaite une réponse tranchée (comme les positions qu’il <s>défend</s> pitche dans l'espace public) mais les textes sacrés sont justement sujets à une interprétation (une compréhension des textes pas forcément consensuelle), d’où plusieurs branches au sein d’une même religion.

    8. Pourquoi la majorité des musulmanes pratiquantes ne portent pas le voile ? 

      Pourquoi la minorité?

      La question est rhétorique (puisqu'elle n'attend pas de réponse, drop the mic), comme si elle devait rester sans réponse (comme d'une évidence).

      Cela revient simplement à mettre le fardeau sur la minorité, qui doit se justifier de ne pas appartenir à la « majorité ».

      La défense des minorités représente justement le rôle essentiel du poivoir politique…

    9. végane extrémiste

      Parlons extrêmistes

      Le mot « extrémiste » (au lieu de « extrême », au bout du spectre) est assurément employé à des fins polémistes, en connotation avec le terrorisme et, accessoirement, l’islamisme (qui n’a rien à voir avec une défense correcte de l’islam, avec des pratiques violentes et proprement extrêmistes).

    1. The mice were returned to a cage and were kept under a 1 OOW bulb light source to prevent hypothermia. Care was taken to ensure that the eyes are kept covered. The respiratory rate and heart rate were monitored till the mice regained complete consciousness. They were fed ab-limitum post-operatively. Metronidazole (20 mg/kg) was added to the drinking water and the mice were fed this medicated water for 5 days post-operatively. On the th post-operative day, the health of the wound was observed and the surgical clips were removed from the skin
    1. The organic solution of phospholipid was made in a 1:1 mixture of chloroform and methanol at a concentration of 5 mg/ml. To get a thin and uniform lipid film, lipid was dried down onto the walls of a round bottom flask by rotating for 30 min. in a rotary evaporator fitted with a coo!;ng coil and a thermostatically controlled water bath. The temperature of the water bath was maintained 10 °C above the phase transition temperature of the respective phospholipid. The film was stored under vacuum for 1 2 h to remove the traces of the solvent after flushing with nitrogen. Subsequently, lipid film was dispersed in 30 mM Tris-HCI buffer containing O.IM NaCl, pH 7.0 at a concentration of 1 mg/ml of lipid using glass beads of 0.5 mm-3 mm in diameter. Multilamellar vesicles (ML Vs) were obtained by manual swirling for 2 h at room temperature (Bangham et al., 1965). Nitrogen was flushed into the flask and the vesicle suspension was left overnight at 4 °C. The .following day, maintaining the temperature 10 °C abcve the phase transition temperature of the corresponding phospholipid, MLVs were sonicated in a water bath sonifier (Branson 321 0) for 45 min. to get the small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) (Huang C, 1969).
    1. for 3 hours at room temperature or OIN at 4 °c. The excess antibody was washed by washing the filters with PBST for 15 minutes with at least three changes. The filters were subsequently incubated in the appropriate dilution of the second antibody for one hour at room temperature. Dilutions of the primary as well as secondary antibody were made in 3 % BSA in PBST. Following incubation with the second antibody, the filters were washed vigorously with PBST for 5 minutes. The washing was repeated 5-6 times. Finally, the filters were washed twice in PBS and colour developed with DAB ( 0.5 mg I ml in PBS ) containing 6 ul I 10 ul of 30 % H2o2. The colour reaction was stopped after 5 -10 minutes by washing the filters with distilled water.
    2. apparatus. At the end of the run, the gel was equilibrated for 15 minutes in the transfer buffer ( 25 mM Tris base,, 192 mM glycine, 20% V/V methanol). Immunoblotting was performed essentially as described by Towbin et al., 1979 ) . The proteins-were blotted on to nitrocellulose Schleicher and Schuell ) for 16 hours in LKB Transphor apparatus. After the completion of electric transfer of proteins, the nitrocellulose paper was washed with PBS 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, 0.9 % saline for 10 minutes at room temperature, with gentle rocking to wash off any adhering traces of acrylamide gel. The filter was then stained with a dilute solution of amide black. This was made by diluting 5 fold with water, a solution of 0. 2 % ami do black containing 45 % v;v methanol and 10 % v;v acetic acid. The staining was done for 5 10 seconds and the filter washed immediately with distilled water. The proteins transferred to the gel could be seen at this stage. The lane containing protein molecular weight standards was cut out and . preserved by drying and storage in dark. The filter could be cut into appropriate lanes at this stage. The filter was destained by repeated washing with PBS containing 0.2 % Tween-20 ( PBST ) . After the filter destained completely, it was incubated with 3 % BSA made in PBST for 1 hour at room temperature. During this and in all the subsequent steps, incubation of the filter was performed on a rocker platform to ensure a uniform treatment. The filters were then incubated in the appropriate dilution of the primary antibody
    3. Electrophoretic separation of protein samples was carried out on 12.5 % SDS-PAGE in a discontinuous system as described by Laemmli ( 1970 ). The samples were reduced by boiling for 3 minutes in sample buffer containing J3-mercaptoethanol. The samples were then centrifuged for 5 minutes at 10,000 rpm to pellet down all particulate matter, prior to loading on the gel. Electrophoresis was carried out at 100 volts in a LKB vertical slab gel electrophoresis
    1. The method followed is essentially the same as described by Jin et al. (1992). Overnight bacterial cultures grown in minimal A medium supplemented with 0.4% glycerol and 0.5% Casamino acids with the appropriate antibiotic were subcultured 1:100 in the same medium in a volume of 20 ml (0.2% arabinose was added for induction of the plasmid-borne gene downstream of Para, wherever required) at 37 ̊C. Cultures were induced with 1 mM IPTG at A600=0.3. 1 ml samples were aliquoted at time intervals of 0 sec, 20 sec, 40 sec, 1 min, 1.5 min, 2 min, 2.5 min, 3 min, 3.5 min, 4 min, 4.5 min, 5 min, 5.5 min and 6 min into 1 ml of 0.1 mg/ml ice cold chloramphenicol and the samples were put on ice. After sampling the cultures were incubated at 37 ̊C for 15 min. 0.5 ml of this culture was then taken in duplicate tubes for β-galactosidase assays
    1. Log-phase yeastcells were collected, washed and suspendedin 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) containing 50 mg/ml zymolyase-20T. Cell suspension was incubated at room temperature and absorbance was monitored at 600 nm every10mininterval. Initial absorbance of the cultures at 0 minwas normalized to 100%and the graph was plottedas%decrease in the absorbance with respect to time
    2. Resultant precipitate was dissolved in 3 N HCl and reprecipitated in methanol:acetic acid (8:1) solution. Following 16 h incubation at room temperature, the precipitate was washed withmethanol:acetic acid (8:1) solution till green colour of the supernatant disappeared.Finally,pellet was washed thrice with methanol and air dried. Driedpellet was resuspended in 0.5 NHCl and total mannan content was quantified with phenol-sulphuric acid carbohydrate estimation method as described earlier.Commercially available purified glucose was used as the standard
    3. Total mannan from 3% NaOH-extractable supernatant of cell wall was precipitated by Benedict’s solution.Reducing sugars(mostly mannan) from alkali-extractable supernatant reactwith copper(II) sulphate present in Benedict’s solution and forms red copper(I) oxide precipitate.Briefly, equal volume of Benedict’s solution was added to 3% NaOH-extractable cell wall supernatant fraction and heated at 99 ̊C for 10 min
    4. Cell wall β-glucan measurement was carried out as describedpreviously with some modifications(Kapteynet.al.,2001). Briefly, cell wall fractions were washed multiple times with 1 N NaCl. Washed cell walls were boiled twice in 50 mM Tris-HCl(pH 7.8) containing 2% SDS, 100 mM Na-EDTA and 40 mM β-mercaptoethanol for 5 min to remove non-covalently linked proteins and other contaminants. SDS-treated cell wall fraction was collected and rinsed thrice with water. For β-glucan isolation, cell wallswere extracted three times, each for 1 h, in 0.5 ml 3% NaOH at 75 ̊C and centrifuged at 1,200 g.All 3% NaOH supernatant fractions were saved for isolation of mannan as described below. 3% NaOH-extractable cell wall pelletwasneutralized twice in 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) and once in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) and digested with 5 mg/ml zymolyase-20T in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) for 14-16 h at 37 ̊C. This treatment liberates approximately 90-95% glucose into the supernatant. Total glucan content in the cell wall was measured by estimating glucose from both the solubilised supernatant and zymolyase-20T insoluble pellet fractions with phenol-sulphuric acid carbohydrate estimation method using purified glucose as the standard
    5. min. Cells were normalized to equal OD600, resuspendedin 1 ml 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) and transferred to 2 ml microcentrifuge tubes. Cells were lysed with glass beadsin a homogenizer (FastPrep®-24,MP Biomedicals)asdescribed earlier.Brokencells were washed from glass beadswith 500 μl Tris-HCl (50 mM, pH 7.5) and pelleteddown at 15,000 g for 10 minto obtainall cell wall and membrane content. Pellet was then boiled for 10 minin 1mlTris-HCl(50mM; pH 7.5)solutioncontaining 2%SDS. SDS-extractable material(mannoproteins)was savedand remaining pellet wasboiled again in 500 μl Tris-HCl(50 mM; pH 7.5)buffer containing 2%SDS. Cell wallwas collectedby centrifugation at 15,000 g for 10 min, washed twice with1 ml waterandresuspendedin 100 μl 67 mM potassium phosphatebuffer. This washed cell wall materialwas used for β-glucan estimation as described below
    1. The quantityand purity of nucleic acids weredetermined by measuring the absorbance at 260 and 280 nmusing automated NanoDrop instrument. The concentration of nucleic acids was calculated by taking 1 OD at 260nm = 50μg/ml for DNA and 40 μg/ml for RNA. The purity of nucleic acids was checked by their A260/A280 ratio
    1. A single colony of E. coli DH5α strain was inoculated in 10 mL LB medium and incubated at 37°C overnight. Overnight culture was subculturedin 250 mL of LB medium of about 0.1 OD and incubated at 18°Cfor36 htillthe OD600reached approximately0.5. Cultures were centrifuged at 2,500 x gfor 10 min at 4 ̊C and harvested cells were washed gently with 80 ml ice-cold Inoue transformation buffer(Section 2.1.6.2). Cells were collected by centrifugation at 2,500x g for 10 min at 4 ̊C and gently resuspended in 20 mLice-cold Inoue transformation buffer. To this cell suspension, 1.5 ml sterile DMSO was added and swirled gently. The cell suspension waskept on ice for 30min,and 100 μLvolume was aliquoted into pre-chilled sterile microcentrifuge tubes. Cells were immediately snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C
    1. Ip6k1-/-(4 male, 5 female)] were exposed to 4NQO (100 μg/mL) in their drinking water. Mice were allowed free access to drinking water containing the carcinogen, and the water was changed every week.Water bottles containing carcinogen was covered with foil to avoid exposure to light. All the apparatus used for this study and remaining water were decontaminated using 1% sodiumhypochlorite for 30 min. Every week water consumption and weight of the each animal was monitored. Mice displaying any characteristics of weight loss or dehydration before 24 weeks were euthanized and examined for lesions. After 24 weeks, mice were euthanized by CO2inhalation and a complete necropsy was performed. Tissues from the aerodigestive tract (tongue, esophagus, stomach,and duodenum) werefixed in formalin and paraffin-embedded sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) to examine thelesions by light microscopy.Images were acquired using a bright field light microscope (Nikon ECLIPSE Ni, NIS Elements acquisition software, 20x 0.5 N.A. objective). During the pathologicalexamination, the lesions observed in the various tissues were categorized into hyperplasia, dysplasia,and invasive carcinoma. Hyperplasia was defined as an increase in the layers or thickening of the epithelium with hyperkeratinization. Dysplasia was defined as loss of epithelial cell polarity, nuclear pleomorphism and abnormal mitoses confined to the epithelium. Invasive carcinoma was defined as invasion of dysplastic cells or lesions into subepithelial tissues such as submucosa and muscle
    2. Carcinogenesis studies were conducted as described previously for Ip6k2-/-mice (Morrisonet al., 2009). Briefly, the carcinogen, 4NQO stock solution (5 mg/mL) was prepared fresh in propylene glycol every week. Four-week old mice [11 Ip6k1+/+(5 male, 6 female) and 9

    1. In order to protect local interests, and to prevent sectional jealousies, it was found requisite that the three great divisions into which British North America is separated, should be represented in the Upper House on the principle of equality. There are three great sections, having different interests, in this proposed Confederation.

    1. But the very essence of our compact is that the union shall be federal and not legislative. Our Lower Canada friends have agreed to give us representation by population in the Lower House, on the express condition that they shall have equality in the Upper House. On no other condition could we have advanced a step ; and, for my part, I am quite willing they should have it. In maintaining the existing sectional boundaries and handing over the control of local matters to local bodies, we recognize, to a certain extent, a diversity of interests ; and it was quite natural that the protection for those interests, by equality in the Upper Chamber, should be demanded by the less numerous provinces.
