Different Approaches to requesting Consent for Routine data linkage in Neonatal follow-up (ACORN): protocol for a 2×2 factorial randomised trial by Jane E Harding, Barry Milne, Jenny Rogers, Greg Gamble, Jane Marie Alsweiler, Christopher McKinlay, Gavin Brown, Aakash Bajirao Rajay, Caroline Anne Crowther, Nike Franke, Trecia Wouldes

“…A pilot study indicates the potentially available cohort size of 2110 (80% follow-up of the neonatal trial cohorts) would be adequate to detect an absolute difference of 6%–5%–4% from a baseline consent rate of 70%–85%–90%, respectively (2-tailed alpha 0.05, 90% power). With at least 1136 participants, the ACORN trial would have 90% power to detect an absolute difference of 5% in the primary outcome for each factor, assuming a consent rate of 90% in the control groups and alpha 0.05. …”

Curdlan sulphate modulates protein synthesis and enhances NF-κB and C/EBP binding activity in HepG2 cells by A. Guzdek, H. Rokita

“…In human hepatoma HepG2 cell line curdlan sulphate enhances basal and interleukin-6-stimulated fibrinogen and antichymotrypsin (ACT) synthesis, slightly increases basal ceruloplasmin production and exerts only minor effects on alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor and transferrin. Curdlan sulphate may, at least in part, affect protein synthesis at a pretranslational level, as the expression of ACT mRNA was found to be increased, whereas intracellular enzyme, manganese superoxide dismutase mRNA level was decreased in the cell culture treated with curdlan sulphate. …”
