A note on the growth of Betti numbers and ranks of 3-manifold groups

Let N be an irreducible, compact 3-manifold with empty or toroidal boundary which is not a closed graph manifold. Using recent work of Agol, Kahn-Markovic and Przytycki-Wise we will show that pi_1(N) admits a cofinal filtration with `fast' growth of Betti numbers as well as a cofinal filtration of pi_1(N) with `slow' growth of ranks.Comment: 10 pages, updated reference

The Good Ship Mary Ann

There’s a tiny black speck ‘way out on the sea, There’s a big black speck on the pier, The big black speck is strainin’ her eyes And prayin’ for the little one to draw near, It’s drawing closer, closer to the pier, It’s a boat that brings her honey, dear No use to hold her, no use to scold her, She wants the world to hear her singing! CHORUS It’s the good ship Mary Ann Bringing back my lovin’ man, Step aside and let me meet him, let me greet him! Lordy, I could eat him! Bless the captain, bless that crew, Bless the dear old Mississippi, too! For bringing back my lovin’ man, On the good ship Mary Ann. Bless the good ship Mary Ann! Oh, supposin’ that he had missed yonder boat, He’s been known to be late before, I’ve counted ev’ry minute and hour I’ve waited till I couldn’t wait any more. The gangplank’s lower’d, see ‘em rush a shore, There’s my honey now, I’ll weep no more! Good bye to sadness, welcome to gladness, What are your voices for but singing

Effect of cyclosporine on hepatic cytosolic estrogen and androgen receptor levels before and after partial hepatectomy

Estrogen and androgen receptors within the liver have been reported to modulate the hepatic regenerative response to partial hepatectomy. Moreover, cyclosporine has several untoward effects that might occur as a consequence of alterations in sex hormone activity. To evaluate these questions the following experiments were performed. Estrogen and androgen receptors in cytosol were quantitated in livers of rats treated with cyclosporine or olive oil vehicle before and after partial hepatectomy or a sham operation. Ornithine decarboxylase activity and thymidine kinase activity were assessed as indices of hepatic regeneration. Preoperative levels of estrogen receptor activity in the hepatic cytosol were significantly greater in rats treated with cyclosporine as compared to vehicle treated controls (P<0.01). In contrast, preoperative levels of androgen receptor activity in the cyclosporine-treated and vehicle-treated animals were similar. Following partial hepatectomy, a reduction in the activity of both sex hormone receptors in the hepatic cytosol was observed and was compatible with results described previously in normal animals. Unexpectedly the preoperative levels of ornithine decarboxylase (P<0.01) and thymidine kinase activity (P<0.01) were significantly greater in the rats treated with cyclosporine as compared to the vehicle treated controls. As expected, ornithine decarboxylase activity (at 6 hr) and thymidine kinase activity (at 24 hr) rose and peaked in response to a partial hepatectomy but were significantly greater (P<0.05) in the rats treated with cyclosporine as compared to the vehicle. These results show that cyclosporine treatment causes an increase in the hepatic content of estrogen receptor activity that is associated with an enhanced potential for a regenerative response. These effects of cyclosporine treatment on the sex hormone receptor levels in liver may explain the mechanisms responsible for some of the untoward effects of treatment with this agent. © 1990 Plenum Publishing Corporation
