Drug-Eluting or Bare-Metal Stenting in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus: Results From the Massachusetts Data Analysis Center Registry

Background— Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are at high risk for restenosis, myocardial infarction, and cardiac mortality after coronary stenting, and the long-term safety of drug-eluting stents (DES) relative to bare-metal stents (BMS) in DM is uncertain. We report on a large consecutive series of patients with DM followed up for 3 years after DES and BMS from a regional contemporary US practice with mandatory reporting. Methods and Results— All adults with DM undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting between April 1, 2003, and September 30, 2004, at all acute care nonfederal hospitals in Massachusetts were identified from a mandatory state database. According to index admission stent type, patients were classified as DES treated if all stents were drug eluting and as BMS treated if all stents were bare metal; patients treated with both types of stents were excluded from the primary analysis. Mortality rates were obtained from vital statistics records, and myocardial infarction and revascularization rates were obtained from the state database with complete 3 years of follow-up on the entire cohort. Risk-adjusted mortality, myocardial infarction, and revascularization differences (DES−BMS) were estimated with propensity-score matching based on clinical, procedural, hospital, and insurance information collected at the index admission. DM was present in 5051 patients (29% of the population) treated with DES or BMS during the study. Patients with DM were more likely to receive DES than BMS (66.1% versus 33.9%; P<0.001). The unadjusted cumulative incidence of mortality at 3 years was 14.4% in DES versus 22.2% in BMS (P<0.001). Based on propensity-score analysis of 1:1 matched DES versus BMS patients (1476 DES:1476 BMS), the risk-adjusted mortality, MI, and target vessel revascularization rates at 3 years were 17.5% versus 20.7% (risk difference, −3.2%; 95% confidence interval, −6.0 to −0.4; P=0.02), 13.8% versus 16.9% (−3.0%; 95% confidence interval, −5.6 to 0.5; P=0.02), and 18.4% versus 23.7% (−5.4%; confidence interval, −8.3 to −2.4; P<0.001), respectively. Conclusions— In a real-world diabetic patient population with mandatory reporting and follow-up, DES were associated with reduced mortality, myocardial infarction, and revascularization rates at long-term follow-up compared with BMS.

Do Anti-Angiogenic VEGF (VEGFxxxb) Isoforms Exist? A Cautionary Tale

Splicing of the human vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) gene has been reported to generate angiogenic (VEGFxxx) and anti-angiogenic (VEGFxxxb) isoforms. Corresponding VEGFxxxb isoforms have also been reported in rat and mouse. We examined VEGFxxxb expression in mouse fibrosarcoma cell lines expressing all or individual VEGF isoforms (VEGF120, 164 or 188), grown in vitro and in vivo, and compared results with those from normal mouse and human tissues. Importantly, genetic construction of VEGF164 and VEGF188 expressing fibrosarcomas, in which exon 7 is fused to the conventional exon 8, precludes VEGFxxxb splicing from occurring. Thus, these two fibrosarcoma cell lines provided endogenous negative controls. Using RT-PCR we show that primers designed to simultaneously amplify VEGFxxx and VEGFxxxb isoforms amplified only VEGFxxx variants in both species. Moreover, only VEGFxxx species were generated when mouse podocytes were treated with TGFβ-1, a reported activator of VEGFxxxb splice selection in human podocytes. A VEGF164/120 heteroduplex species was identified as a PCR artefact, specifically in mouse. VEGFxxxb isoform-specific PCR did amplify putative VEGFxxxb species in mouse and human tissues, but unexpectedly also in VEGF188 and VEGF164 fibrosarcoma cells and tumours, where splicing to produce true VEGFxxxb isoforms cannot occur. Moreover, these products were only consistently generated using reverse primers spanning more than 5 bases across the 8b/7 or 8b/5 splice junctions. Primer annealing to VEGFxxx transcripts and amplification of exon 8b primer ‘tails’ explained the artefactual generation of VEGFxxxb products, since the same products were generated when the PCR reactions were performed with cDNA from VEGF164/VEGF188 ‘knock-in’ vectors used in the generation of single VEGF isoform-expressing transgenic mice from which the fibrosarcoma lines were developed. Collectively, our results highlight important pitfalls in data interpretation associated with detecting VEGFxxxb isoforms using current methods, and demonstrate that anti-angiogenic isoforms are not commonly expressed in mouse or human tissues.
A novel online incentive mechanism under budget constraint for crowdsourcing systems

Crowdsourcing is a new paradigm which leverages human computation to finish specific tasks. Efficient incentive mechanisms are proposed to motivate crowd workers' participation, in which however, researchers frequently concentrate on offline forms. Considering worker's successive arrival and dynamic departure, we are motivated to design an online incentive mechanism. Particularly, the workers come one after another to the crowdsourcing platform and meanwhile the platform makes irrevocable decision to select the qualified workers to the winner set and give them monetary reward. We formulate the incentive mechanism as a knapsack secretary auction, where we take advantages of the principles of solving knapsack problem and secretary problem to tackle the budget constraint and online scenario in our case. Some prevalent-used economic properties, such as individual rationality, truthfulness and fairness are theoretically guaranteed. Extensive evaluations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and correctness of our mechanism with respect to the aforementioned properties.
Investigation of Native Speaker and Second Language Learner Intuition of Collocation Frequency

© 2015 Language Learning Research Club, University of Michigan. Research into frequency intuition has focused primarily on native (L1) and, to a lesser degree, nonnative (L2) speaker intuitions about single word frequency. What remains a largely unexplored area is L1 and L2 intuitions about collocation (i.e., phrasal) frequency. To bridge this gap, the present study aimed to answer the following question: How do L2 learners and native speakers compare against each other and corpora in their subjective judgments of collocation frequency? Native speakers and learners of Italian were asked to judge 80 noun-adjective pairings as one of the following: high frequency, medium frequency, low frequency, very low frequency. Both L1 and L2 intuitions of high frequency collocations correlated strongly with corpus frequency. Neither of the two groups of participants exhibited accurate intuitions of medium and low frequency collocations. With regard to very low frequency pairings, L1 but not L2 intuitions were found to correlate with corpora for the majority of the items. Further, mixed-effects modeling revealed that L2 learners were comparable to native speakers in their judgments of the four frequency bands, although some differences did emerge. Taken together, the study provides new insights into the nature of L1 and L2 intuitions about phrasal frequency.
Effects of Isoflurane Dose, Duration of Anoxia, and Reoxygenation on Isoflurane's Preservation of Energy Balance in Anoxic Isolated Hepatocytes

We investigated how the protection of energy status by isoflurane in isolated hepatocytes varied with isoflurane dose, duration of anoxia, and reoxygenation. Hepatocytes were isolated from fed rats and incubated in Krebs buffer under O2/CO2 or N2/CO2 (95/5) for 30 or 90 min, followed by 5 or 30 min of reoxygenation. From measurements of adenosine tri-, di-, and monophosphate (ATP, ADP, AMP) in the cells, energy charge (= [ATP + 1/2 ADP] / [ATP + ADP + AMP]) was calculated to reflect the balance between ATP supply and demand, and total adenine nucleotide (= ATP + ADP + AMP) to indicate the potential maximum ATP level. During 30 min of anoxia, energy charge and total adenine nucleotide steadily increased with isoflurane dose from 0 to 2 minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration, then decreased from 2 to 3 minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration. In short incubations (30–35 min) at 1 minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration isoflurane, there was a modest decrease in energy charge during anoxia, partially prevented by isoflurane and completely reversed by reoxygenation, and no decrease in total adenine nucleotide. In long incubations (90–120 min), there were large decreases in both energy charge and total adenine nucleotide during anoxia, with partial and no reversal by reoxygenation, respectively. Isoflurane partly prevented decreases in both energy charge and total adenine nucleotide during both anoxia and reoxygenation. We conclude that at doses in the clinical range, isoflurane partially protected isolated hepatocytes against decreases in both energy charge and total adenine nucleotide occurring either during short (reversible) or long (irreversible) anoxia. Other data from this study suggest that isoflurane may have protected in part by inhibiting AMP formation, an obligatory step in nucleotide degradation.
Evolution of Nutrient Uptake Reveals a Trade‐Off in the Ecological Stoichiometry of Plant‐Herbivore Interactions

Nutrient limitation determines the primary production and species composition of many ecosystems. Here we apply an adaptive dynamics approach to investigate evolution of the ecological stoichiometry of primary producers and its implications for plant‐herbivore interactions. The model predicts a trade‐off between the competitive ability and grazing susceptibility of primary producers, driven by changes in their nutrient uptake rates. High nutrient uptake rates enhance the competitiveness of primary producers but also increase their nutritional quality for herbivores. This trade‐off enables coexistence of nutrient exploiters and grazing avoiders. If herbivores are not selective, evolution favors runaway selection toward high nutrient uptake rates of the primary producers. However, if herbivores select nutritious food, the model predicts an evolutionarily stable strategy with lower nutrient uptake rates. When the model is parameterized for phytoplankton and zooplankton, the evolutionary dynamics result in plant‐herbivore oscillations at ecological timescales, especially in environments with high nutrient availability and low selectivity of the herbivores. High herbivore selectivity stabilizes the community dynamics. These model predictions show that evolution permits nonequilibrium dynamics in plant‐herbivore communities and shed new light on the evolutionary forces that shape the ecological stoichiometry of primary producers.
Ovarian Activity Is Differentially Regulated across the Breeding Season in Immature Compared with Adult American Crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos)

American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) reproduction is seasonal. While photoperiod alters reproductive physiology and behavior in nesting adults, whether seasonal photoperiod changes alter ovarian activity in nonnesting adult and immature birds was not known. Ovarian follicular composition was examined in immature and nonnesting adult crows. Birds were divided into groups reflecting daylight hour exposure when captured: 12L, 12:30L, 13:30L, and 14L, representing early‐, progressing‐, peak‐, and postbreeding seasons in southern California. Adult ovarian mass peaked in 13:30L and then decreased 65% by 14L. In contrast, immature ovarian mass peaked in 12L and decreased 58% by 14L. Whereas no change in adult follicle composition occurred, primordial follicle numbers increased 42%, and previtellogenic follicles increased 86% in immatures, resulting in an overall follicle number increase in immatures by 13:30L and 14L. Adult atretic follicles declined 68% by 14L, while immature atretic follicle numbers remained constant. Adult apoptotic transferase‐mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)–positive follicle numbers remained constant until a 52% decrease occurred in 13:30L. TUNEL‐positive follicles declined 58% by 12:30L among immatures. These data are the first to demonstrate that follicular composition is differentially regulated between nonnesting adult and immature American crows. Seasonal ovarian activity alterations in nonbreeding adults may serve to prime individuals for potential mating.
Near‐ and far‐field verification of electro‐optic effect enhancement on a tunable lithium niobate photonic crystal

In this paper, we present the optical response of a tunable lithium niobate photonic crystal (PC) using the electro‐optic effect of the material. The band gap tunability is 300 times higher than what one could expect for a bulk lithium niobate device of the same characteristics. Theoretical calculations based on the finite‐difference time domain technique have allowed us to determine the physical origin of this enhanced electro‐optic coefficient. Indeed, the effective second‐order susceptibility in the LN nanostructure increases, giving rise to an ultra‐compact low‐voltage photonic crystal modulator when it operates at its band edge. In addition, the theoretical and far‐field transmission results are confirmed by near‐field optical microscopy images of the structure at different excitation voltages.
NEUROENDOSCOPIC TREATMENT FOR COLLOID CYSTS OF THE THIRD VENTRICLE: THE EXPERIENCE OF A DECADE

OBJECTIVE Microsurgical resection or ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement was for a long time the only means of treatment for patients with colloid cysts. In the past few years, however, endoscopic procedures have gained increasing significance and have been used more widely. Long-term results are now available for the first time, which enabled us to evaluate this method and assess its future relevance. METHODS Twenty patients with symptomatic colloid cysts of the third ventricle have been treated endoscopically in our department during the past 10 years. Retrospective analysis and follow-up of the patients' clinical and radiological outcomes were performed. RESULTS In the early postoperative period, 18 patients had excellent outcomes, with clinical signs improving immediately. One patient experienced intraoperative hemorrhage followed by temporary postoperative psychosis and IIIrd cranial nerve palsy. Another patient remained shunt-dependent because of aseptic meningitis after the endoscopic procedure. In the long-term follow-up, one patient had to be reoperated to treat cyst recurrence. The operative time was strongly dependent on the cyst material as well as on the surgeon's experience with endoscopic techniques; it varied between 60 and 300 minutes (mean operative time, 200 min). The average hospitalization time was 9 days. Long-term follow-up ranging from 1 to 10 years showed a clear benefit in each patient. In three individuals with pre- and postoperative short-term memory deficits and in one patient who complained of headaches, symptoms resolved gradually during the first few months after surgery. The patient with intraoperative hemorrhage complained of slight permanent short-time memory deficit. The analysis of postoperative computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging scans revealed a remaining cyst wall in the majority of patients and an inconsistent decrease in ventricular size. Postoperative cine magnetic resonance imaging studies showed normalization of cerebrospinal fluid flow in 17 patients. CONCLUSION Continued improvement of endoscopic techniques and instruments, together with good long-term results in endoscopically treated patients, have established this method as an alternative to microsurgical techniques and might even set a new standard for treatment.
Interactional Justice, Negotiator Outcome Satisfaction, and Desire for Future Negotiations: R-E-S-P-E-C-T at the Negotiating Table

Purpose – This paper aims to explore the relationship between procedural, interpersonal, informational, and distributive justice and negotiator outcome satisfaction and desire for future negotiations (DFNs). Design/methodology/approach – This research invokes and builds theories suggesting a link between perceptions of fair treatment and counterfactual generation. Data come from freely interacting negotiating dyads comprised of undergraduate students.Findings – One's own outcomes obtained, procedural, informational, and distributive justice perceptions each uniquely predicted negotiator outcome satisfaction. Procedural and informational justice perceptions also indirectly affected outcome satisfaction through their effect on distributive justice perceptions. In turn, outcome satisfaction, and informational and interpersonal justice perceptions each uniquely predicted DFNs.Research limitations/implications – While this study reveals an important set of effects for study, it is correlational in nature. Futur.

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae

Due to relatively high concentrations of immunoglobulins, colostrum has the potential to improve the sensitivity of diagnostic tests for diseases in pigs when compared with serum. It is possible that colostrum could improve the sensitivity of the antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) compared with serum. Colostrum is also essential for piglets, providing protection against infections in the first few weeks and months of life. The sensitivity of 2 commercially available ELISAs, one for the detection of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae and the second for Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae antibodies, when used with sow colostrum in comparison with serum was investigated. The correlation of maternal E. rhusiopathiae– and M. hyopneumoniae–specific antibody levels with specific-antibody serum levels in the piglet was also determined. The sensitivity was defined as the proportion of vaccinated sows that were correctly identified as vaccinated at a given cutoff point. The true disease status of the sows with regard to the 2 infections was unknown. Blood and colostrum samples were collected from 20 sows, 10 primiparous and 10 multiparous, and blood samples were also collected from the piglets of each sow, 48–72 hr post-farrowing. The sensitivities of both ELISAs were significantly improved when using colostrum compared with serum. Sow serum and colostrum optical density (OD) values were significantly correlated. The mean sow OD values for serum for E. rhusiopathiae and M. hyopneumoniae and colostrum for E. rhusiopathiae were significantly correlated with piglet serum OD levels. If the improved sensitivity of colostrum can be demonstrated in infected animals, this will increase the ability of the test to identify infected animals using both individual and pooled colostrum. Testing serum and/or colostrum using ELISA can be useful predictors of piglet disease–specific OD values.
