Attachment reaction of rat uterine luminal epithelium. 3. The effect of estradiol, estrone and estriol on the morphology of the luminal epithelium of the spayed, virgin rat.

A study was undertaken to analyze the attachment reaction of the uterine luminal epithelium occurring when implantation begins. It dealt with the ultrastructural effect of estradiol estrone and estriol on the luminal epithelium of the sprayed virgin rat. The aim of the study was to form a background for the evaluation of the estrogen action on the progesterone-stiumlated epithelium and to analyze the possible influences of different antifertile substances on the luminal epithelium. Subcutaneous injections of . 1 mcg estradiol caused nucleolar enlargement in the rats within 6 hours and within 12 hours the cytoplasmic polyribosomes and the granular endoplasmic reticulum were increased. In 24 hours the microvilli of the apical surface appeared taller and more numerous and many lysosome-like structures were present supranuclearly. In 2 days the cells were atrophied had tall microvilli and contained dense granules apically and much granular endoplasmic reticulum. The Golgi apparatus was enlarged and consisted of stacks of narrow cisterane. This cellular picture was designated the estrogen picture. It was also induced by 5 1 and . 05 mcg estradiol while . 01 mcg seemed to have little effect on the ultrastructure. In 4 days the cells had more dense granules apically and more granular reticulum. They also contained large autophagic vacuoles. The morphological data supported current ideas on the effect of estrogen on cellular protein synthesis and lysosomal enzymes. Both estrone and estriol respectively induced an estrogen picture. From the calculated effective ratio between estradiol estrone and estriol it is apparent that the relative potencies of the estrogens are dependent on what parameter is used.
More mastectomies: is this what patients really want?

Breast-conserving therapy (BCT), consisting of breastconserving surgery (BCS) followed by breast irradiation, is a notable success story in oncology. For nearly the entire first half of the 20th century, mastectomy was the standard of care in the United States. Remarkably, it took the mature results from six randomized clinical trials comparing BCT with mastectomy before a 1990 National Institutes of Health Consensus Development Panel concluded that BCS wasthepreferredmethodofprimarysurgicaltherapyforwomenwith early-stage breast cancer. 1 From 1989 to 1995, the percentage of women undergoing BCT increased from 35% to 60% for stage 1 and from 19% to 29% for stage 2 breast cancer. 2,3 BCT has been shown to be associated with improved body image and improved short-term physicalfunctioningcomparedwithmastectomy. 4 Intheeraofsentinel node biopsy, BCS is an outpatient procedure that requires no drains,allowingapromptreturntofullactivity,althoughnecessitating
Sociodemographic profile of beneficiaries and comparative evaluation of ante natal care services under JSY at different health care delivery system

Introduction: Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) is a safe Motherhood intervention proposed by the Government of India to decrease the neo-natal and maternal deaths by promoting institutional delivery of babies. About 56,000 women in India die every year due to pregnancy related complications. Similarly, every year more than 13 lakh infants die within 1year of the birth. MP classified under low performing states & JSY has completed more than seven years. So, there is a need of evaluation of demographic profile of the JSY beneficiaries and antenatal services under JSY. Materials and Methods: It is a Health Care Institute based observational cross-sectional study including randomly selected 200 JSY beneficiary mothers from the different health care delivery System i.e. PHC,CHC, District Hospital & Medical College Hospital; of Rewa district, Madhya Pradesh. JSY beneficiary mothers were interviewed and data collected and analyzed using epi info 2000. Chi square test was applied to assess the association between different levels of health care and quality of services. Results: Age at marriage of JSY beneficiary mothers was seen to be gradually increasing from rural to urban area. ASHA provided ANC, TT & IFA tablets in majority of study subjects as 39 (78%) in PHC & 44 (88%) in CHC while in urban areas, ‘other than ASHA’ were also arranging such services. Increasing the level of health care system the number of ANC provided to the JSY beneficiary mothers were improved and it was statistically significant (x=24.46, p=0.0001). It was seen that the number of ANC, number of TT & IFA tabs were provided more as shifting towards PHC Health care settings to Medical College Hospital Settings. Conclusion: JSY has definitely impacted upon the maternal and child health by providing health care to pregnant mother during ANC at different levels of Health Care Settings but uptake of JSY services are comparatively less at rural area.
Whole Grain Nutrition Education Program Improves Whole Grain Knowledge and Behaviors Among Community-Residing Older Adults

ABSTRACT U.S. older adults are not meeting the recommendation for whole grain (WG) intake. This pilot study determined the influence that a WG nutrition education program for community-residing adults aged 60 + years has on WG knowledge and behaviors. The program included WG education and discussion, participation in hands-on activities and taste testing. Participants were mostly white, females. Total grain and WG dietary intake frequencies (WG frequency; p ≤ 0.001), and “knowledge score” increased from PRE to POST (p ≤ 0.001). Participants in PowerPoint-based classes had a higher “knowledge scores” at POST (p = 0.002). Nearly all (n = 139, 88.5%) intended to eat more WG foods, with almost two-thirds (n = 93, 59.3%) reporting a “strong” intention to do so. There was a positive association between strength of intention to eat WG foods and “WG frequency” at POST (r = 0.435, p ≤ 0.001). Results suggest that this WG program is an effective strategy for improving WG knowledge and behaviors among older adults.
The Impact of Gate-Oxide Breakdown on Common-Source Amplifiers With Diode-Connected Active Load in Low-Voltage CMOS Processes

The influence of gate-oxide reliability on common-source amplifiers with diode-connected active load is investigated with the nonstacked and stacked structures under analog application in a 130-nm low-voltage CMOS process. The test conditions of this work include the dc stress, ac stress with dc offset, and large-signal transition stress under different frequencies and signals. After overstresses, the small-signal parameters, such as small-signal gain, unity-gain frequency, phase margin, and output dc voltage levels, are measured to verify the impact of gate-oxide reliability on circuit performances of the common-source amplifiers with diode-connected active load. The small-signal parameters of the common-source amplifier with the nonstacked diode-connected active-load structure are strongly degraded than that with the stacked diode-connected active-load structure due to a gate-oxide breakdown under analog and digital applications. The common-source amplifiers with diode-connected active load are not functionally operational under digital application due to the gate-oxide breakdown. The impact of soft and hard gate-oxide breakdowns on the common-source amplifiers with nonstacked and stacked diode-connected active-load structures has been analyzed and discussed. The hard breakdown has more serious impact on the common-source amplifiers with diode-connected active load.
Subduction Zones of the Caribbean: the sedimentary, magmatic, metamorphic and ore-deposit records UNESCO/iugs igcp Project 546 Subduction Zones of the Caribbean

The International Union of Geosciences (IUGS) and UNESCO IGCP project 546 Subduction Zones of the Caribbean (http://www.ugr.es/~agcasco/igcp546/) was launched in 2007 and scheduled to be completed by the end of the current year 2011. It was set up with the aim of gathering researchers interested in the geological evolution of the Caribbean realm. The development of this region is largely controlled by a number of subduction zones that formed along its margins from the break-up of Pangea during the Jurassic until Present. The current setting is characterized by a very complex plate-tectonic configuration dominated by subduction zones, large-scale strike-slip faults, volcanic arcs and collision belts (Figure 1). The project was built upon previous developments of IGCP project 433 Caribbean Plate Tectonics (2000-2005), of which the Special Volume 4 (Issue 1-2) of Geologica Acta Caribbean Plate Tectonics. Stratigraphic, Magmatic, Metamorphic and Tectonic Events (Iturralde Vinent and Lidiak, 2006) deserves mentioning. Since 2007, Project IGCP 546 Subduction Zones of the Caribbean has set up or participated in the organization of several events together with other institutions and agencies, such as field trips, seminars for students, and workshops in Cuba (2007, 2009), Guatemala (2007, 2010), San Francisco (2007, 2009), Dominican Republic (2008), Spain (2008, 2010), Houston (2008), Stanford (2009), United Kingdom (2009), Panama (2010), Venezuela (2010) and Colombia (2009, 2011). This has attracted the interest of researchers and students from a large number of countries including Australia, Austria, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, France, Germany, Guatemala, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, USA and Venezuela, who have produced field-trip guides, abstracts, papers and books dealing with different aspects of the Geology of the whole Caribbean region (see http:// www.ugr.es/~agcasco/igcp546/ for details). 4 3 1 2 *
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on serum inflammatory factors , oxidative stress , endothelin and intracranial pressure in patients with severe head injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a severe disease with high death rate and disability rate, which is caused by the direct or indirect effect on the head by brain tissue injury. Among which 18% to 20% are severe traumatic brain injury (STBI), and the mortality rate is 30% to 50%[1,2]. STBI patients with cerebral microcirculation disorder is the main cause of death, although conventional surgical treatment can stabilize the disease, but its efficacy is limited, and its effect on the STBI-induced endothelial dysfunction is limited. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy as a new treatment, can effectively improve the body's hypoxic state[3]. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of HBO therapy on STBI and its influence on biochemical parameters.
of the 4-7 july 2000 – Valencia Spain

Congenital X-linked deficiency or abnormality of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) causes a bleeding disorder called haemophilia A. Treatment of patients suffering haemophilia A involves administration of human FVIII concentrates purified from human plasma, or recombinant protein prepared from mammalian cell culture. The cost of these products is the major limiting factor in haemophilia therapy. An alternative approach to this problem is to use transgenic animals expressing recombinant protein in the mammary gland. Here we describe the generation of a line of transgenic rabbits bearing a gene construct with the human blood clotting factor VIII cDNA plus introns of the murine metallothionein gene under the control of the mammary gland specific murine whey acidic protein promoter. The founder male was fertile and transmitted the transgene to its progeny.
3 D FE analysis of fasteners at elevated temperatures

In the present paper the results of 3D FE investigation on headed studs at elevated temperatures are presented. For modeling of concrete under fire conditions a thermo-mechanical model (Ožbolt et al. 2005, 2008) is used. In the parametric FE analysis of single headed stud anchors loaded in tension, the influence of embedment depth, heating time, edge distance and number of surfaces exposed to heating was investigated. In case of anchor groups the influence of embedment depth, anchor spacing and heating time was examined. The results of the FE analysis show that the resistance of single anchors and anchor groups with large edge distance under fire conditions are primarily dominated by embedment depth. Anchors with small embedment depth are very sensitive to fire and may even fail under design load. In case of small edge distance and multiple sides heating of the concrete body the anchor resistance is additionally affected by edge distance.
Transferable and non transferable utility implementations of coalitional stability in integrated assessment models

To study the stability of coalitions in the standard game theoretic model of international environmental agreements, two alternative concepts are used: potential internal stability and core stability. Both concepts make use of the possibility of reallocating payoffs within a coalition through transfers, formulated in terms of transferable utility among the players. For international applications where players are countries, such as done in the growing literature on integrated assessment models, non-transferable utility games would be economically better suited. In this note, we provide a framework for comparing the treatment of coalitions in five game theoretically minded integrated assessment models, from that point of view. Under way, we extend the definition of the two stability concepts to games without transferable utility, assuming instead the transferability of some physical good. We also show that potential internal stability and blocking power of coalitions can be tested by solving a simple optimization problem.
Chapter 3 Effects of MOD Agents on the Thermal decomposition and the Electrical Conductivity of Low Temperature Curing Silver Paste

Six low curing pastes were prepared from silver flake and α-terpineol and with different metallo-organic decomposition (MOD) compounds. The thermal decomposition behaviors of the pastes were performed. The microstructures and resistivities of screen-printed films on alumina substrate after thermally treated were characterized and discussed. Results indicated 2-ethylhexanoate possesses the lowest decomposition temperature at 190.3°C among the MOD agents studied, which forms silver particles to promote the linking of the flake silver powders and thus reduces the resistivity down to <10μΩ-cm at the temperature as low as 200°C.
The Impact of Discourse-Based Grammar Teaching on Writing Skill of Iranian EFL Learners

English as a foreign language learners encounter various problems in writing skill. One of the reasons for this may be that they are taught grammar only at sentence-level and not at discourse level (Celce, Murcia & Y.Wonho, 2014). Having knowledge of grammar at sentence level is crucial but not sufficient. In this respect, the present study attempts to cast a new glance at teaching grammar in EFL context using discourse-based grammar teaching approach and evaluates its impact on Iranian upperintermediate EFL learners‟ writing skill. In order to determine the effect of discourse-based grammar (independent variable) on the EFL learners‟ writing performance (dependent variable), 50 upper intermediate English language learners were selected randomly from 2 English language institutes in Iran. All subjects were pretested for their homogeneity. Then, they were assigned into 2 groups. The experimental group was treated with discourse-based grammar teaching for 10 sessions, two sessions each week; and the control group received just the traditional grammar instruction. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was run to probe the research question. The findings indicated that there was a significant difference between the two groups on the score (F (1, 41) = 41.79, p = . 000<. 05, partial eta squared = . 499 representing a large effect size). Additionally, there was a significant difference between the two groups‟ means on the posttest of writing while controlling for the possible effects of the pretest. The adjusted mean of the scores for the experimental and control groups were 16.08 and 13.88, respectively. Therefore, it is concluded that the treatment on experimental group caused significant improvement in their writing ability.
Determine seroprevalence and associated risk factors of HBV infection among pregnant women and it relationship with blood transfusion at Hargeisa Group Hospital, Hargeisa, Somaliland

Background: The measures are being put in place for the management of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in Hargeisa, Somaliland among pregnant women remain the most vulnerable to develop chronic hepatitis. Routine screening in pregnant women is therefore necessary for effective control. However, the performance of the commonly used the HBsAg sero test strips has been available. Also, identifying the risk factors of transmission in pregnant women is importance for the implementation of preventive measures. Hence, the goal of this study was to determining seroprevalence and associated risk factors with HBV infection among pregnant women.
The minimum distance of all binary cyclic codes of odd lengths from 69 to 99

A computer search has been made to determine the true minimum distance d for all binary cyclic codes having odd lengths n in the range 69\leq n\leq 99 . Using an algorithm originally developed by C. L. Chen, the generator matrix G of each (n,k) binary cyclic code was put in systematic form. All possible codewords obtained from sums of i rows of G , for i= 1,2, \cdots,\upsilon , were examined, and the minimum distance d_{\upsilon} of this set was recorded. Then d=d_{\upsilon} whenever \upsilon >\{(d_{\upsilon}-l)k/n\}-l . Known equivalences among cyclic codes were taken into account, and only one code from each equivalence class was listed. Let g(x) divide x^{n}-1 , where x - 1 is not a factor of g(x) . Then the minimum distances of the codes generated by g(x),(x - l)g(x) and their duals are listed together. For each such set of codes, the value of \upsilon for which a codeword of minimum weight first appeared is listed. The codes found were compared with the list of best codes tabulated by Sloane [5]. Many good cyclic codes have been found. Among the best (n,k,d) cyclic codes found are the following: (73, 27, 20), (73, 36, 16), (85, 12, 34), (85, 20, 28), (87, 31, 22), (89, 56, 11), (91, 51, 14), (93, 20, 32), (93, 23, 29), (93, 31, 24), (93, 33, 22).
Regional Cerebral Blood Volume Mapping after Ischemic Lesions

The possible persistence of a microvascular deficit at long time intervals after cerebral ischemia induction is not well established. In rats, we have generated in vivo maps of the regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV) at different time intervals after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) with the aim to evaluate the persistence of a rCBV deficit in the damaged area or in the surrounding regions. The rats were examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at different time intervals, starting from the first day until three months after ischemia and postmortem histological and ultrastructural correlation was obtained. All MRI experiments were carried out using an imager-spectrometer equipped with a 4.7 Tesla magnet. To produce the susceptibility-weighted rCBV images, a suspension of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (AMI-25) was injected to the rat. In a control group (nonoperated or sham-operated rats), a symmetrical distribution of rCBV values was found between the two hemispheres (differences between left and right cortex below 8%). In the rats with MCAo an evident vascular asymmetry was found 24 h after ischemia (differences between left and right ranging from 22 and 77%) and reduced rCBV values were evident in the ischemic areas. In a time range following the 15th day most of the rats showed a complete recovery of the lesion while only four animals still had a small residual lesion, as probed by T2-weighted (T2W) images. In three of these four cases, the reduction of rCBV in the ipsilateral cortex with respect to the contralateral was greater than 20%. Correlation was found (Y > 0.8) between late rCBV measurement and the initial volume of the lesion (hyperintense region in T2W images). The postmortem measurements correlate much better with the rCBV data than with the T2W ones. In conclusion, the present work demonstrates that cortical lesions may result in a deficit of rCBV for long periods and that a mismatch between T2w and rCBV data can be present during the repair process.

Mature cystic teratomas arise from meiotic oocytes, but not from pre‐meiotic oogonia

Mature cystic teratomas (MCTs) in the ovaries have been thought to originate from germ cells from all developmental stages, i.e., from pre‐meiotic oogonia through meiotic oocytes to mature post‐meiotic ova. This view was based on research on MCTs by classical methods, including those involving centromeric heteromorphisms in karyotypes, enzyme polymorphisms, and DNA polymorphisms. However, insufficient genomic information was obtained in those studies. The current study aimed to confirm the cytogenetic origin of ovarian MCTs by using short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphism analysis to obtain sufficient genomic information, especially in connection with centromeric loci. Tissue samples of MCTs (57 ovaries from 51 patients, 91 MCTs, 156 specimens in total) obtained from cystectomies or oophorectomies were used. We categorized the specimens into two groups: i) solid components of MCTs and ii) cyst walls. The numbers of solid components of MCTs from pre‐meiotic oogonia, primary oocytes, secondary oocytes, and ova were 0, 33, 16, and 15, respectively. There were no pre‐meiotic oogonia in this series of solid‐component specimens. We propose a hypothesis for the tumorigenesis of ovarian MCTs: the precursors of ovarian MCTs are not functional oocytes or ova, but are primary oocytes that have escaped from meiotic arrest. This hypothesis could satisfactorily explain the lack of pre‐meiotic teratomas observed in this study and the nearly equal distribution of teratomas originating from primary oocytes, secondary oocytes, and ova in previous studies. Furthermore, this hypothesis could provide a starting point for determining the mechanism underlying tumorigenesis of ovarian MCTs. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Einstein – Weyl structures on lightlike hypersurfaces Research

We study Weyl structures on lightlike hypersurfaces endowed with a conformal structure of certain type and specific screen distribution: the Weyl screen structures. We investigate various differential geometric properties of Einstein–Weyl screen structures on lightlike hypersurfaces and show that, for ambient Lorentzian space Rn+2 1 and a totally umbilical screen foliation, there is a strong interplay with the induced (Riemannian) Weyl-structure on the leaves.
