Abstract
NASA's Parker Solar Probe mission1 recently plunged through the inner heliosphere of the Sun to its perihelia, about 24 million kilometres from the Sun. Previous studies farther from the Sun (performed mostly at a distance of 1 astronomical unit) indicate that solar energetic particles are accelerated from a few kiloelectronvolts up to near-relativistic energies via at least two processes: 'impulsive' events, which are usually associated with magnetic reconnection in solar flares and are typically enriched in electrons, helium-3 and heavier ions2, and 'gradual' events3,4, which are typically associated with large coronal-mass-ejection-driven shocks and compressions moving through the corona and inner solar wind and are the dominant source of protons with energies between 1 and 10 megaelectronvolts. However, some events show aspects of both processes and the electron-proton ratio is not bimodally distributed, as would be expected if there were only two possible processes5. These processes have been very difficult to resolve from prior observations, owing to the various transport effects that affect the energetic particle population en route to more distant spacecraft6. Here we report observations of the near-Sun energetic particle radiation environment over the first two orbits of the probe. We find a variety of energetic particle events accelerated both locally and remotely including by corotating interaction regions, impulsive events driven by acceleration near the Sun, and an event related to a coronal mass ejection. We provide direct observations of the energetic particle radiation environment in the region just above the corona of the Sun and directly explore the physics of particle acceleration and transport.

Abstract
In this study, results are presented from the on-board radiation assessment detector (RAD) of Mars Science Laboratory (MSL). RAD is designed to measure the energetic particle radiation environment, which consists of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) and solar energetic particles (SEPs) as well as secondary particles created by nuclear interactions of primary particles in the shielding (during cruise) or Martian soil and atmosphere (surface measurements). During the cruise, RAD collected data on space radiation from inside the craft, thus allowing for a reasonable estimation of what a human crew travelling to/from Mars might be exposed to. On the surface of Mars, RAD is shielded by the atmosphere (from above) and the planet itself (from below). RAD measures the first detailed radiation data from the surface of another planet, and they are highly relevant for planning future crewed missions. The results for radiation dose and dose equivalent (a quantity most directly related to human health risk) are presented during the cruise phase, as well as on the Martian surface. Dose and dose equivalent are dominated by the continuous GCR radiation, but several SEP events were also detected and are discussed here.

Abstract
The severe geomagnetic effects of solar storms or coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are to a large degree determined by their propagation direction with respect to Earth. There is a lack of understanding of the processes that determine their non-radial propagation. Here we present a synthesis of data from seven different space missions of a fast CME, which originated in an active region near the disk centre and, hence, a significant geomagnetic impact was forecasted. However, the CME is demonstrated to be channelled during eruption into a direction +37±10° (longitude) away from its source region, leading only to minimal geomagnetic effects. In situ observations near Earth and Mars confirm the channelled CME motion, and are consistent with an ellipse shape of the CME-driven shock provided by the new Ellipse Evolution model, presented here. The results enhance our understanding of CME propagation and shape, which can help to improve space weather forecasts.

Abstract
The Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft, containing the Curiosity rover, was launched to Mars on 26 November 2011. Although designed for measuring the radiation on the surface of Mars, the Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) measured the radiation environment inside the spacecraft during most of the 253-day, 560-million-kilometer cruise to Mars. An important factor for determining the biological impact of the radiation environment inside the spacecraft is the specific contribution of neutrons with their high biological effectiveness. We apply an inversion method (based on a maximum-likelihood estimation) to calculate the neutron and gamma spectra from the RAD neutral particle measurements. The measured neutron spectrum (12-436 MeV) translates into a radiation dose rate of 3.8±1.2 μGy/day and a dose equivalent of 19±5 μSv/day. Extrapolating the measured spectrum (0.1-1000 MeV), we find that the total neutron-induced dose rate is 6±2 μGy/day and the dose equivalent rate is 30±10 μSv/day. For a 360 day round-trip from Earth to Mars with comparable shielding, this translates into a neutron induced dose equivalent of about 11±4 mSv.

Abstract
The Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) on the Mars Science Laboratory's Curiosity rover began making detailed measurements of the cosmic ray and energetic particle radiation environment on the surface of Mars on 7 August 2012. We report and discuss measurements of the absorbed dose and dose equivalent from galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles on the martian surface for ~300 days of observations during the current solar maximum. These measurements provide insight into the radiation hazards associated with a human mission to the surface of Mars and provide an anchor point with which to model the subsurface radiation environment, with implications for microbial survival times of any possible extant or past life, as well as for the preservation of potential organic biosignatures of the ancient martian environment.

Abstract
The Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft, containing the Curiosity rover, was launched to Mars on 26 November 2011, and for most of the 253-day, 560-million-kilometer cruise to Mars, the Radiation Assessment Detector made detailed measurements of the energetic particle radiation environment inside the spacecraft. These data provide insights into the radiation hazards that would be associated with a human mission to Mars. We report measurements of the radiation dose, dose equivalent, and linear energy transfer spectra. The dose equivalent for even the shortest round-trip with current propulsion systems and comparable shielding is found to be 0.66 ± 0.12 sievert.

Abstract
The t(14,18) chromosomal translocation that occurs in human follicular lymphoma constitutively activates the BCL2 gene and disrupts control of apoptosis. Interestingly, 70% of the t(14,18) translocations are confined to three 15-bp clusters positioned within a 150-bp region (major breakpoint region or [MBR]) in the untranslated portion of terminal exon 3. We analyzed DNA-protein interactions in the MBR, as these may play some role in targeting the translocation to this region. An 87-bp segment (87MBR) immediately 3' to breakpoint cluster 3 was essential for DNA-protein interaction monitored with mobility shift assays. We further delineated a core binding region within 87MBR: a 33-bp, very AT-rich sequence highly conserved between the human and mouse BCL2 gene (37MBR). We have purified and identified one of the core factors as the matrix attachment region (MAR) binding protein, SATB1, which is known to bind to AT-rich sequences with a high propensity to unwind. Additional factors in nuclear extracts, which we have not yet characterized further, increased SATB1 affinity for the 37MBR target four- to fivefold. Specific binding activity within 37MBR displayed cell cycle regulation in Jurkat T cells, while levels of SATB1 remained constant throughout the cell cycle. Finally, we demonstrated in vivo binding of SATB1 to the MBR, strongly suggesting the BCL2 major breakpoint region is a MAR. We discuss the potential consequences of our observations for both MBR fragility and regulatory function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We compared the incidence of early hernia recurrence in nonrandomized but consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic repair of paraesophageal hernia (LRPH) without and with excision of the hernia sac. METHODS LRPH was completed in 55 of 58 patients. In the first 25 patients, the sac was not excised. Total sac excision was performed in the subsequent 30 patients. All patients had crural repair with or without fundoplication, or gastropexy. RESULTS Mean age of patients was 68 years (range, 34-95). There were three conversions; one patient died postoperatively. Mean operative time was 225 min in the first group and 190 min in the sac excision group. Median length of stay was 2 days (range, 1-15) for both groups. CONCLUSIONS A precise method of total sac excision simplified dissection. It also ensured complete reduction of the hernia and availability of adequate esophageal length. Operative time was not increased, and no subsequent early recurrences were observed (p < 0.05).

Abstract
The cytoskeletal protein non-erythroid alpha-spectrin is well documented as an endogenous calpain substrate, especially under pathophysiological conditions. In cell necrosis (e.g. maitotoxin-treated neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells), alpha-spectrin breakdown products (SBDPs) of 150 kDa and 145 kDa were produced by cellular calpains. In contrast, in neuronal cells undergoing apoptosis (cerebellar granule neurons subjected to low potassium and SH-SY5Y cells treated with staurosporine), an additional SBDP of 120 kDa was also observed. The formation of the 120 kDa SBDP was insensitive to calpain inhibitors but was completely blocked by an interleukin 1 beta-converting-enzyme (ICE)-like protease inhibitor, Z-Asp-CH2OC(O)-2,6-dichlorobenzene. Autolytic activation of both calpain and the ICE homologue CPP32 was also observed in apoptotic cells. alpha-Spectrin can also be cleaved in vitro by purified calpains to produce the SBDP doublet of 150/145 kDa and by ICE and ICE homologues [ICH-1, ICH-2 and CPP32(beta)] to produce a 150 kDa SBDP. In addition, CPP32 and ICE also produced a 120 kDa SBDP. Furthermore inhibition of either ICE-like protease(s) or calpain protects both granule neurons and SH-SY5Y cells against apoptosis. Our results suggest that both protease families participate in the expression of neuronal apoptosis.

Abstract
This study was performed to investigate whether the anticonvulsant phenytoin has neuroprotective effect in a model of hypoxia-ischemia with neonatal rats. The left carotid artery of each rat was ligated, followed by 3 h of hypoxic exposure (8% O2) in a temperature-regulated environment (36 degrees C). Two weeks later, brain damage was assessed by measuring loss of brain hemisphere weight. Phenytoin had no effect on body temperature or plasma glucose, but attenuated brain damage in a dose-dependent manner (3, 10, and 30 mg/kg i.p.) when administered before the hypoxic episode. Phenytoin administered during or after hypoxia did not alter hypoxic brain damage significantly. A parallel experiment using histological examination of frozen brain sections demonstrated less brain infarction after phenytoin treatment (30 mg/kg i.p.). In an additional experiment measuring breakdown of an endogenous brain calpain substrate, spectrin, phenytoin treatment reduced this measure of early cellular damage. Our results indicate that pretreatment with phenytoin is neuroprotective at a plasma phenytoin concentration of approximately 12 micrograms/ml. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that blockade of voltage-dependent sodium channels reduces brain damage following ischemia.

Abstract
Overactivation of calcium-activated neutral protease (calpain) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of several degenerative conditions, including stroke, myocardial ischemia, neuromuscular degeneration, and cataract formation. Alpha-mercaptoacrylate derivatives (exemplified by PD150606), with potent and selective inhibitory actions against calpain, have been identified. PD150606 exhibits the following characteristics: (i) Ki values for mu- and m-calpains of 0.21 microM and 0.37 microM, respectively, (ii) high specificity for calpains relative to other proteases, (iii) uncompetitive inhibition with respect to substrate, and (iv) it does not shield calpain against inactivation by the active-site inhibitor trans-(epoxysuccinyl)-L-leucyl-amido-3-methylbutane, suggesting a nonactive site action for PD150606. The recombinant calcium-binding domain from each of the large or small subunits of mu-calpain was found to interact with PD150606. In low micromolar range, PD15O6O6 inhibited calpain activity in two intact cell systems. The neuroprotective effects of this class of compound were also demonstrated by the ability of PD150606 to attenuate hypoxic/hypoglycemic injury to cerebrocortical neurons in culture and excitotoxic injury to Purkinje cells in cerebellar slices.

Abstract
Experimentation with cultured cells often requires analyzing cellular protein extract by gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. Traditional methods for extracting cellular proteins by homogenization or detergent solubilization usually produce protein samples that are viscous (due to the presence of DNA) and prone to degradation due to the presence of endogenous protease activity. We have developed a method that involves solubilization of cells with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), precipitation of proteins with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) with special physical exclusion of DNA aggregate and reconstitution of precipitated proteins with Tris base. Protein samples prepared by this method contain little DNA, making them ideal for long-term storage. The solubilized total protein extracts are fully compatible with protein assay, gel electrophoresis and Western blotting. When compared to protein extracts from a homogenization method, those from the TCA method showed an identical total protein staining pattern on SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and contained distinct cellular proteins recognized by many monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies tested (including anti-actin, spectrin, protein kinase C (alpha), talin and spectrin) on Western blots.

Abstract
Aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA) is an endonuclease inhibitor which has been shown to block apoptotic cell death. We have now demonstrated that ATA is also an inhibitor of the Ca(2+)-activated neutral protease (calpain), a class of cytosolic enzyme that may also be activated during apoptosis. The two major calpain isoforms (mu- and m-calpain) were both inhibited by ATA with IC50's of 22 microM and 10 microM, respectively. The autolysis of purified mu-calpain was prevented by ATA in a concentration-dependent manner. Using casein zymography, it was found that the inhibition of mu-calpain by ATA was reversible. Finally, in a fetal rat cerebrocortical culture model of excitotoxicity, pre- and post-treatment of ATA (50 microM) reduced N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced spectrin breakdown and neuronal death, while application of ATA concurrent to NMDA challenge alone had no effect. This pattern of protection could not be explained by simple NMDA receptor antagonism. We thus propose that the neuroprotective effect of ATA could be in part due to its ability to inhibit calpain.

Abstract
A zymographic assay for calpains in nondenaturing casein-containing polyacrylamide gels was developed. Calpain samples were run into the polyacrylamide gels by electrophoresis using a Tris-glycine buffer containing 1 mM EGTA to stabilize calpains. Upon completion of the electrophoresis, the gels were washed and incubated in a calpain activation buffer containing 1-4 mM calcium and 10 mM dithiothreitol for 20-24 h. After staining of the casein gels with Coomassie blue G250, both mu-calpain and m-calpain showed up as clearing bands. The amount of calpain loaded was proportional to the brightness of the clearing band. m-calpain can be easily distinguished from mu-calpain due to its higher mobility in the gel. Irreversible inhibitor (e.g., E64c) or tight-binding calmidazolium-treated mu-calpain remained inactive in the casein zymogram, whereas reversible inhibitor (e.g., calpain inhibitor I) was released from the protease by migration and dilution, lifting its inhibition. Crude homogenate of cultured cells (erythrocytes, Molt-4 and cerebrocortical neurons) or tissue (rat brain) can be directly analyzed for the presence of calpain isoforms despite the presence of endogenous calpastatin. Using this technique, mu-calpain activity in Molt-4 cells was found to decrease progressively with A23187 treatment, as a reflection of autolytic inactivation.

Abstract
Significant problems exist in formulating method-insensitive proficiency materials. Many steps are required in processing human plasma, and difficult choices are involved in the selection of appropriate materials to be added to the processed plasma. Additionally, analytes may vary widely in their recovery from method to method. To enhance understanding of the procedures and problems involved in the development and manufacture of proficiency materials, a number of constituents and their method-specific recoveries are reviewed.
