    The high level of competition in various business fields today demands the management of the company to improve the excellence of the products it has, in competition in the business world the company is required to find a special strategy to create Competitive advantage so that it can put its company in the position of market leader and always ahead so that always be the choice of consumers. Online digital collections such as E-Book and You Tube that are widely available on the internet make the world of book publishing increasingly competitive as well as the implementation of improper strategies can give a bad impact to publishing companies, there are persons that markets products that are not original (pirated books) are troubling the publishing world. For that, it is necessary to find out the Marketing strategy conducted by book publishers in Medan, to know what are the obstacles in implementing Marketing strategy conducted by book publishers in Medan City and finally to The effort to overcome the obstacles in implementing the Marketing strategy conducted by the publisher in Medan City. This article is with a qualitative descriptive approach by using SWOT analysis. The results of the research from SWOT analysis are S-O strategy with aggressive, i.e. (S2, O2) a book made from quality paper materials and quality content makes the library demand increase annually. (S1, O1) Direct selling that is done by campus company can increase profit and big profit due to higher education market. (S3, O3, O2) The company is working with a national bookstore that is likely to have a wide network and distributed on a national scale as well as many growing library requests annually

    Les marqueurs chromosomiques peuvent ĂȘtre dĂ©finis comme des petits chromosomes de structure anormale prĂ©sents en addition aux 46 chromosomes humains connus. C'est un groupe hĂ©tĂ©rogĂšne d'anomalies de structure chromosomique pouvant ĂȘtre avec ou sans consĂ©quence phĂ©notypique. Plusieurs tentatives sont rĂ©alisĂ©es afin de retrouver une corrĂ©lation gĂ©notype-phĂ©notype lors de la prĂ©sence d'un marqueur chromosomique. L'identification du marqueur, son origine et sa structure suit une stratĂ©gie bien codifiĂ©e actuellement allant d'abord de l'orientation clinique suivie des techniques de cytogĂ©nĂ©tique conventionnelle (caryotype mĂ©taphasique standard, bandes C, NOR) et de cytogĂ©nĂ©tique molĂ©culaire (M-FISH, CGH, CGH array) puis une dĂ©tection par des techniques plus ciblĂ©es (painting, sondes locus spĂ©cifique). Cet ensemble permet une meilleure analyse et correspondance clinico-gĂ©nĂ©tique. Nous rapportons le cas d'un nourrisson prĂ©sentant une dysmorphie faciale avec un retard psychomoteur dont l'analyse cytogĂ©nĂ©tique a rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© la prĂ©sence d'un marqueur chromosomique avec un caryotype mĂ©taphasique 47,XX,+mar. A travers cette observation, nous mettons en valeur le rĂŽle de la cytogĂ©nĂ©tique conventionnelle et molĂ©culaire dans le diagnostic des syndromes dysmorphiques permettant une meilleure prise en charge du patient et un conseil gĂ©nĂ©tique adĂ©quat pour sa familleKey words: Marqueurs chromosomiques, anomalie chromosomique, analyse cytogĂ©nĂ©tique, dysmorphi

    Influence of HAART on Alternative Reading Frame Immune Responses over the Course of HIV-1 Infection

    Background: Translational errors can result in bypassing of the main viral protein reading frames and the production of alternate reading frame (ARF) or cryptic peptides. Within HIV, there are many such ARFs in both sense and the antisense directions of transcription. These ARFs have the potential to generate immunogenic peptides called cryptic epitopes (CE). Both antiretroviral drug therapy and the immune system exert a mutational pressure on HIV-1. Immune pressure exerted by ARF CD8(+) T cells on the virus has already been observed in vitro. HAART has also been described to select HIV-1 variants for drug escape mutations. Since the mutational pressure exerted on one location of the HIV-1 genome can potentially affect the 3 reading frames, we hypothesized that ARF responses would be affected by this drug pressure in vivo. Methodology/Principal findings: In this study we identified new ARFs derived from sense and antisense transcription of HIV-1. Many of these ARFs are detectable in circulating viral proteins. They are predominantly found in the HIV-1 env nucleotide region. We measured T cell responses to 199 HIV-1 CE encoded within 13 sense and 34 antisense HIV-1 ARFs. We were able to observe that these ARF responses are more frequent and of greater magnitude in chronically infected individuals compared to acutely infected patients, and in patients on HAART, the breadth of ARF responses increased. Conclusions/Significance: These results have implications for vaccine design and unveil the existence of potential new epitopes that could be included as vaccine targets.International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI

    Occupational asthma follow-up — which markers are elevated in exhaled breath condensate and plasma?

    Full text link
    Objectives: To search for optimal markers in the exhaled breath condensate (EBC), plasma and urine that would reflect the activity/ severity of occupational asthma (OA) after the withdrawal from the exposure to the allergen. Material and Methods: Markers of oxidative stress: 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (8-isoprostane, 8-ISO), malondialdehyde (MDA), 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenale (HNE), cysteinyl leukotrienes (LT) and LTB4 were determined using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry in 43 subjects with immunological OA (49.3±11.8 years), removed from the exposure to the sensitizing agent 10.5±6.5 years ago; and in 20 healthy subjects (49.0±14.9 years). EBC was harvested both before and after the methacholine challenge test. In parallel, identical markers were collected in plasma and urine. The results were analyzed together with forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), blood eosinophils, immunoglobulin E (IgE) and eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) and statistically evaluated (Spearman rank correlation rS, two- or one-sample t tests and alternatively Kruskal Wallis or pair Wilcoxon tests). Results: Several parameters of lung functions were lower in the patients (FEV1% predicted, MEF25% and MEF50%, Rtot%, p < 0.001). Shorter time interval since the removal from the allergen exposure correlated with higher ECP (rS = 0.375) and lower FEV1%, MEF25% and MEF50% after methacholine challenge (rS = -0.404, -0.425 and -0.532, respectively). In the patients, IgE (p < 0.001) and ECP (p = 0.009) was increased compared to controls. In EBC, 8-ISO and cysteinyl LTs were elevated in the asthmatics initially and after the challenge. Initial 8-ISO in plasma correlated negatively with FEV1 (rS = -0.409) and with methacholine PD20 (rS = -0.474). 8-ISO in plasma after the challenge correlated with IgE (rS = 0.396). Conclusions: The improvement in OA is very slow and objective impairments persist years after removal from the exposure. Cysteinyl LTs and 8-ISO in EBC and 8-ISO in plasma might enrich the spectrum of useful objective tests for the follow-up of OA

    Liver transplantation for patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains challenging. The advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for HIV has reduced mortality from opportunistic infection related to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome dramatically, while about 50% of patients die of end-stage liver cirrhosis resulting from HCV. In Japan, liver cirrhosis frequently develops after HCV-HIV coinfection resulting from previously transfused infected blood products for hemophilia. The problems of liver transplantation for those patients arise from the need to control calcineurin inhibitor with HAART drugs, the difficulty of using interferon after liver transplantation with HAART, and the need to control intraoperative coagulopathy associated with hemophilia. We review published reports of liver transplantation for these patients in the updated world literature
