    Full text link
    Bandar Udara Malang yang belum melayani banyak tujuan penerbangan membuat pengguna moda pesawat memilih Bandar Udara Juanda. Disisi lain angkutan yang melayani rute Malang-Juanda PP hanya angkutan travel. Untuk itu dibutuhkan moda lain yang lebih ekonomis dan memiliki kapasitas lebih banyak dibandingkan angkutan travel. Bus pemadu moda adalah moda alternatif yang dapat memenuhi kebutuhan tersebut.Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan penyebaran kuisioner karakteristik sosial-ekonomi, karakteristik perjalanan serta kuisioner dengan teknik penyusunan stated preference. Stated preference memiliki atribut biaya perjalanan, waktu tempuh dan frekuensi keberangkatan. Sedangkan untuk prediksi tarif bus pemadu moda yang direncanakan diperoleh dari perhitungan BOK. Tarif yang telah diperoleh dari perhitungan BOK dibandingkan dengan nilai ATP dan WTP yang diperoleh dari kuisioner yang telah disebarkan. Sehingga didapatkan tarif ideal yang akan diberlakukan apabila bus pemadu moda tersebut direalisasikan.Setelah melakukan perhitungan tarif berdasarkan BOK diperoleh tarif sebesar Rp 23.374,- serta berdasarkan ATP dan WTP diperoleh tarif sebesar Rp 43.675,-. Dengan demikian perkiraan awal tarif bus pemadu moda sebesar Rp 40.000,- dapat diberlakukan. Hasil dari pemodelan pemilihan moda dengan metode stated preference untuk selisih biaya perjalanan Malang-Juanda: dan Juanda-Malang : , untuk selisih waktu tempuh perjalanan () rute Malang-Juanda : dan rute Juanda-Malang : , sedangkan untuk selisih Frekuensi Keberangkatan () rute Malang-Juanda : dan rute Juanda-Malang : .Potensi perpindahan pengguna travel ke bus pemadu moda rute Malang-Juanda sebanyak 705 orang per hari (83,97%). Sedangkan untuk rute Juanda-Malang sebanyak 1516 orang per hari (90,24%)

    <p>A) WT MEF and BAX/BAK DKO MEF cells were treated with bortezomib 10 nM for 24 h. PARP cleavage was measured by western blot. B) Caspase3 activity was assessed by luminescence assay. Data were normalized to untreated control (WT: p<0.0001; DKO n.s.). C) BAX and BAK were transiently overexpressed in DKO cells and 24 h post transfection cells were treated with bortezomib 10 nM for a further 24 hours. BAX and BAK expression were then analysed by western blot. D) Caspase 3 activation after bortezomib treatment was also analysed by luminescence assay. Data were normalized to untreated control (EV: n.s.; GSTBAX: p = <0.0001 GSTBAK: p = <0.0001).</p

    <p>A) REN and JU77 selected for resistance after exposure to increasing doses of bortezomib were tested for cell viability after 24 h treatment with bortezomib at concentrations ranging from 0.5 nM to 50 nM and compared to parental cells. REN/REN<sup>BZR</sup> and JU77/JU77<sup>BZR</sup> cells were treated for 24 h with bortezomib 5 nM and 10 nM, respectively. PARP cleavage induced by bortezomib was analysed by western blot and caspase3 activity was measured by luminescence assay. Data were normalized to untreated control (REN: <0.0001; REN<sup>BZR</sup>: n.s.; JU77: p = 0.0002; JU77<sup>BZR</sup>: n.s.). B) Expression of BAX and BAK was investigated in parental and resistant cells pre- and after 6 h treatment with bortezomib 5 nM and 10 nM in REN/REN<sup>BZR</sup> and JU77/JU77<sup>BZR</sup> respectively. C) Cytochrome C release was assessed after 24 h treatment with bortezomib (5 nM and 10 nM in REN/REN<sup>BZR</sup> and JU77/JU77<sup>BZR</sup>, respectively). Mitochondrial-free cytosolic fraction has been used for western blot analysis.</p

    Combined Genetic and Genealogic Studies Uncover a Large BAP1 Cancer Syndrome Kindred Tracing Back Nine Generations to a Common Ancestor from the 1700s

    <div><p>We recently discovered an inherited cancer syndrome caused by BRCA1-Associated Protein 1 (<i>BAP1</i>) germline mutations, with high incidence of mesothelioma, uveal melanoma and other cancers and very high penetrance by age 55. To identify families with the BAP1 cancer syndrome, we screened patients with family histories of multiple mesotheliomas and melanomas and/or multiple cancers. We identified four families that shared an identical <i>BAP1</i> mutation: they lived across the US and did not appear to be related. By combining family histories, molecular genetics, and genealogical approaches, we uncovered a BAP1 cancer syndrome kindred of ~80,000 descendants with a core of 106 individuals, whose members descend from a couple born in Germany in the early 1700s who immigrated to North America. Their descendants spread throughout the country with mutation carriers affected by multiple malignancies. Our data show that, once a proband is identified, extended analyses of these kindreds, using genomic and genealogical studies to identify the most recent common ancestor, allow investigators to uncover additional branches of the family that may carry <i>BAP1</i> mutations. Using this knowledge, we have identified new branches of this family carrying BAP1 mutations. We have also implemented early-detection strategies that help identify cancers at early-stage, when they can be cured (melanomas) or are more susceptible to therapy (MM and other malignancies).</p></div

    <p><b>(A)</b> Representative histology (Hematoxylin and Eosin staining) and BAP1 IHC. Controls: Panel a, normal strip of pleural mesothelial cells; d, MM biopsy containing wild-type BAP1. Note BAP1 nuclear staining and faint cytoplasmic staining; black arrows identify representative normal mesothelial cells in a and MM cells in d. Panels b, c, e and f, BAP1-mutant MM biopsies from MARF11-III-1 (b,e) and MARF18-III-1 (c,f). Note cytoplasmic BAP1 staining and absence of nuclear staining in MM cells; black arrows identify representative tumor cells indicating LOH for BAP1. Note that nearby infiltrating “normal” lymphocytes and endothelial cells show nuclear BAP1 staining (red arrows) as they retain one normal BAP1 allele. Original magnification, 400X. <b>(B)</b><i>BAP1</i> sequencing of germline and tumor DNAs from MARF11-III-1 and MARF18-III-1 reveals heterozygosity in germline DNA and LOH in tumor cell DNA. Top panels, germline DNA from both patients shows a ‘C’ deletion (grey shadowed area): the wild-type allele and the mutant allele show the same peak intensity indicating a heterozygous mutation. Bottom Panels, tumor cell DNA, from both patients, shows a homozygous C deletion. The electropherogram of tumor cell DNA shows that the allele with the C deletion has a higher peak, indicating that only the mutant allele is present in the tumor cells. The lower peak is likely generated by the wild type allele of some contaminating normal cells. DNA sequence of wild-type—AGTCCCCTGGC; DNA sequence of mutant—AGTCCCTGGCG.</p
