Cancer progression by non‐clonal chromosome aberrations

The establishment of the correct conceptual framework is vital to any scientific discipline including cancer research. Influenced by hematologic cancer studies, the current cancer concept focuses on the stepwise patterns of progression as defined by specific recurrent genetic aberrations. This concept has faced a tough challenge as the majority of cancer cases follow non‐linear patterns and display stochastic progression. In light of the recent discovery that genomic instability is directly linked to stochastic non‐clonal chromosome aberrations (NCCAs), and that cancer progression can be characterized as a dynamic relationship between NCCAs and recurrent clonal chromosome aberrations (CCAs), we propose that the dynamics of NCCAs is a key element for karyotypic evolution in solid tumors. To support this viewpoint, we briefly discuss various basic elements responsible for cancer initiation and progression within an evolutionary context. We argue that even though stochastic changes can be detected at various levels of genetic organization, such as at the gene level and epigenetic level, it is primarily detected at the chromosomal or genome level. Thus, NCCA‐mediated genomic variation plays a dominant role in cancer progression. To further illustrate the involvement of NCCA/CCA cycles in the pattern of cancer evolution, four cancer evolutionary models have been proposed based on the comparative analysis of karyotype patterns of various types of cancer.

Coulomb stress transfer and fault interaction over millennia on non-planar active normal faults: the Mw 6.5–5.0 seismic sequence of 2016–2017, central Italy

In order to investigate the importance of including strike-variable geometry and the knowledge of historical and palaeoseismic earthquakes when modelling static Coulomb stress transfer and rupture propagation, we have examined the August–October 2016 A.D. and January 2017 A.D. central Apennines seismic sequence (Mw 6.0, 5.9, 6.5 in 2016 A.D. (INGV) and Mw 5.1, 5.5, 5.4, 5.0 in 2017 A.D. (INGV)). We model both the coseismic loading (from historical and palaeoseismic earthquakes) and interseismic loading (derived from Holocene fault slip-rates) using strike-variable fault geometries constrained by fieldwork. The inclusion of the elapsed times from available historical and palaeoseismological earthquakes and on faults enables us to calculate the stress on the faults prior to the beginning of the seismic sequence. We take account the 1316–4155 yr elapsed time on the Mt. Vettore fault (that ruptured during the 2016 A.D. seismic sequence) implied by palaeoseismology, and the 377 and 313 yr elapsed times on the neighbouring Laga and Norcia faults respectively, indicated by the historical record. The stress changes through time are summed to show the state of stress on the Mt. Vettore, Laga and surrounding faults prior to and during the 2016–2017 A.D. sequence. We show that the build up of stress prior to 2016 A.D. on strike-variable fault geometries generated stress heterogeneities that correlate with the limits of the main-shock ruptures. Hence, we suggest that stress barriers appear to have control on the propagation and therefore the magnitudes of the main-shock ruptures.
[European Antibiotic Awareness Day educational campaign--has it changed public attitudes to antibiotic use in Poland?].

UNLABELLED Widespread inappropriate antibiotic use is a global concern for public health care. That is why national and international antibiotic resistance control strategies recommend education of health-care professionals and the public to promote prudent antibiotic use. This paper show the effect of the 2009 public antibiotic campaign in Poland on the knowledge and social attitudes towards use of antibiotics. The aim of this study was to assess the level of knowledge and behaviour models of Polish people regarding antibiotics, recommendations for their use as well as sources of information on antibiotics. At the same time the study was aimed at assessing whether actions undertaken during educational campaigns resulted in growing knowledge on the subject of antibiotic use or a change in attitudes towards this group of medicines. MATERIAL AND METHODS A two-stage survey was carried out from October to December 2009 based on 14 self prepared questions. The survey was carried out by Millward Brown SMG/KRC on the representative sample of 1000 people using CATI - Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews. RESULTS In Poland there is still a high percentage of people taking antibiotics. 37% of Polish people used an antibiotic in the last 12 months. Most Polish people--88% use an antibiotic prescribed by a doctor. At the same time Polish people receive antibiotics due to viral infections which should not be treated thus. The results of the survey show that almost half of adult Poles would expect to have an antibiotic prescribed in case of a flu. Over half of Polish people believe that antibiotics kill viruses. Over 1/3 of recipients, who have come across information on prudent use of antibiotics (mostly due to National Program for Antibiotics Protection) claimed to have changed their behavior model regarding this group of medicines. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study show that further and systematic education regarding appropriate antibiotic use is needed.

Varieties of familialism: Comparing four southern European and East Asian welfare regimes

The aim of this article is to articulate the concepts of familialism and defamilialization as well as their indicators to assess whether and how welfare states, or regimes, differ not only in the degree to which they are defamilialized but also in the specific familialism form. In other words, it assesses whether family responsibility in a given area (and its gender dimension) is only assumed without public policy support or, on the contrary, whether it is actively enforced by laws or supported by income transfers and time allocation. The same diversification also exists for the opposite concept, defamilialization, which may happen through positive, direct or indirect policy interventions or because of the lack of such interventions, encouraging recourse to the market. The article shows that when considering these distinctions in the analyses, the profiles of countries that are usually generically described as ‘familialistic welfare states’, such as Italy and Spain in Europe or Japan and Korea in East Asia, and their similarities and differences partly differ from those that emerge when considering only a simplified familialism – defamilialization dichotomy, in so far both familialism and defamilialization may occur, and be combined, through distinct means, offering, therefore, also different options.
Design of a Distributed-Energy-Store Railgun

A distributed-energy-store (DES) railgun was designed, which excels at higher efficiency in comparison with a breech-fed one. Such a structure was first proposed by Marshall and had been testified to lessen the energy remaining in the rails and reduce the rails' resistive loses. The pulsed-power supply consists of eight modules of capacitor banks, which can provide a maximum energy of 200 kJ. A 4-m-long 15-mm square bore railgun with several energy feed-in points distributed along the length of the gun was built to test the DES railgun concept. A simulation model was built up to analyze its performance. A comparison between the simulation results of different systems was made. Ten-gram projectiles could be accelerated to 1323 m/s through the simulation, and the overall efficiency of the system could be increased from 6.8% to 9.0% in comparison with a breech-fed one. An important issue for the DES railgun is the discharging sequence of the PFN modules. An ideal discharging sequence was obtained from the simulation result to get a higher efficiency. A real-time control system was designed to trigger the PFN modules properly.
ICT Diffusion and Potential Output Growth

The sustained increase in productivity gains from the spread of ICTs may increase potential output growth in the medium to long term via capital deepening effects and total factor productivity (TFP) gains, and in the short to medium term via the lagged adjustment of wages to productivity gains. The orders of magnitude resulting from the assessment data presented indicate that the medium to long-term effect could be significant. However, there does not appear to be any empirical evidence to support the existence of the temporary short to medium-term effect.
Origin and evolution of the integumentary skeleton in non‐tetrapod vertebrates

Most non‐tetrapod vertebrates develop mineralized extra‐oral elements within the integument. Known collectively as the integumentary skeleton, these elements represent the structurally diverse skin‐bound contribution to the dermal skeleton. In this review we begin by summarizing what is known about the histological diversity of the four main groups of integumentary skeletal tissues: hypermineralized (capping) tissues; dentine; plywood‐like tissues; and bone. For most modern taxa, the integumentary skeleton has undergone widespread reduction and modification often rendering the homology and relationships of these elements confused and uncertain. Fundamentally, however, all integumentary skeletal elements are derived (alone or in combination) from only two types of cell condensations: odontogenic and osteogenic condensations. We review the origin and diversification of the integumentary skeleton in aquatic non‐tetrapods (including stem gnathostomes), focusing on tissues derived from odontogenic (hypermineralized tissues, dentines and elasmodine) and osteogenic (bone tissues) cell condensations. The novelty of our new scenario of integumentary skeletal evolution resides in the demonstration that elasmodine, the main component of elasmoid scales, is odontogenic in origin. Based on available data we propose that elasmodine is a form of lamellar dentine. Given its widespread distribution in non‐tetrapod lineages we further propose that elasmodine is a very ancient tissue in vertebrates and predict that it will be found in ancestral rhombic scales and cosmoid scales.
Assembling the Fungal Tree of Life: constructing the Structural and Biochemical Database

A major goal of the Assembling the Fungal Tree of Life project is to create a searchable database of selected ultrastructural and biochemical characters from published and new data for use in phylogenetic and other analyses. While developing this database such issues as evaluating specimen fixation quality in published micrographs, organizing data to accommodate characters that were dependent on location and developmental stage, and requiring accountability of data contributors were addressed. Character states for three traits, septal pore apparatus, nuclear division and spindle pole body cycle, are illustrated, and character states are resolved with maximum parsimony and plotted on a summary cladogram of known phylogenetic relationships of the Fungi. The analysis illustrates the inherent phylogenetic signal of these characters, the paucity of comparable characters and character states in subcellular studies and the challenges in establishing a comprehensive structural and biochemical database of the Fungi.
Development of a mutant strain of Aspergillus niger and optimization of some physical factors for improved calcium gluconate production.

In the course of mutation studies of Aspergillus niger strain AB with ethylene imine (1:4000), a mutant A. niger AB 501, produced greater amount of calcium gluconate in the culture broth (88.0 g/lit) as against the parent strain (36.0 g/lit) by the surface culture method of fermentation. This mutant was then exposed to UV-rays and a mutant, A.niger AB 1801, was found to produce high calcium gluconate in the culture broth (120 g/lit). The optimum cultural conditions for the production of calcium gluconate by A.niger AB 1801 were pH, 6.5; period of incubation, 9 days; volume of medium in 1 litre flask, 150 ml; temperature, 30 degrees C, volume of inoculum, 7.5 ml of cell suspension containing 2.6 x 10(7) spores and age of inoculum, 6 days old spores of A. niger AB 1801. The maximum yield of calcium gluconate to the above conditions was 168 g/lit. The cultural conditions that support maximum cultural growth did not, however, give optimal yield of calcium gluconate because after having yielded the maximum of calcium gluconate the growth of organism continued to increase further.
Broadband Circularly Polarized Antenna With L-shaped Strip Feeding and Shorting-Pin Loading

A patch antenna with simple feeding structure for broadband circular polarization is proposed in this letter. The patch is first designed with horizontal L-shaped strip (HLS) feeding, which feeds the radiation patch at orthogonal orientations with 90° phase difference. Two minimum points can be seen in the axial-ratio (AR) curve. By loading a shorting pin to the patch, the minimum point of lower frequency moves to higher frequency, and wide AR band is obtained consequently. Measured results show that 10-dB return-loss bandwidth of 23.6% (2.09-2.65 GHz), 3-dB AR bandwidth of 17.9% (2.18-2.61 GHz), and average gain of 8.5 dBic across the operating band are achieved for the proposed antenna with a low profile of 0. 09λ0 ( λ0 is the wavelength in free space corresponding to 2.4 GHz).
Review on wind turbine generators and power electronic converters with the grid-connection issues

This review paper focuses on the three main electrical aspects in the wind energy conversion system (WECS): 1) wind turbine generators (WTGs), 2) power electronics converters (PECs) and 3) grid-connection issues. The current state of wind turbine generators are discussed and compared in some criteria along with the trends in the current WECS market, which are ‘Variable Speed’, ‘Multi-MW’ and ‘Offshore’. In addition, the other crucial component in the WECS, PECs will be discussed with its topologies available in the current WECS market. Moreover, three main issues of the WECS associating with the grid-connection, fault-ride through (FRT) capability, harmonics/interharmonics emission and flicker, which are the power quality issues, will be discussed due to the increasing responsibility of WECS as utility power station. Some key findings from the review such as the attractiveness of BDFRG are presented in the conclusion of this paper.
Minimal pelvic fluid in blunt abdominal trauma in children: the significance of this sonographic finding.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of the ultrasonographic finding of pelvic fluid after blunt abdominal trauma in children as a predictor of an abdominal organ injury. METHODS The clinical and imaging data of 183 children with blunt abdominal trauma were reviewed retrospectively. All children had an abdominal sonography as the primary screening study. The ultrasound results were divided into 3 groups: group A, normal examination; group B, pelvic fluid only; group C, peritoneal fluid outside the pelvis. The results of the initial ultrasound examinations were compared with the findings of the CT scan, or a second ultrasound examination or the clinical course during the hospitalization. RESULTS Group A included 87 children; group B, 57, and group C, 39. Four abdominal organ injuries were missed by the ultrasound examination. The sensitivity and specificity of the ultrasound examinations to predict organ injury in presence of peritoneal fluid outside the pelvis were, respectively, 89.5% and 96.6%; the positive and negative predictive value were 87.2% and 97.3%. No statistically significant difference was seen between group A and group B, whereas the presence of peritoneal fluid outside the pelvic cavity (group C) was associated strongly with an organ injury (P <.001). CONCLUSIONS A normal ultrasound examination or the presence of pelvic fluid are associated with a low probability of an organ injury. In the presence of peritoneal fluid outside the pelvis, the probability of an organ injury is very high.
The Predictive Value of HER2 in Breast Cancer

Measurement of molecular markers predictive of response to therapy should enable more selective and effective utilization of anticancer agents. The predictive value of HER2 remains a complex and inconclusive subject. In metastatic breast cancer, HER2-positive, ER-positive patients can show responses to endocrine treatment, but experience shorter time to progression and survival than HER2-negative patients. In the adjuvant setting, weak, retrospective evidence suggests that tamoxifen is potentially harmful in HER2-positive patients and that there is no benefit from prolonged tamoxifen therapy. It has not yet been demonstrated conclusively that HER2 positivity increases resistance to adjuvant cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, 5-FU (CMF), but there are indications that HER2-positive patients benefit more from adequately dosed anthracyclines than from CMF. The greatest value of HER2 as a predictive marker lies in the prediction of response to therapies that target HER2, such as Herceptin®. Patients with strongly HER2-positive breast cancer derive significant clinical benefit from single-agent and combined Herceptin therapy. HER2 testing has become an integral part of the optimal management of the breast cancer patient. Best current practice in adjuvant breast cancer therapy based on the current knowledge of the potential predictive power of HER2 constitutes not denying tamoxifen to HER2-positive, ER-positive patients or CMF to HER2-positive patients. Outside of clinical trials, adequately dosed anthracycline-based chemotherapy is the current preferred adjuvant treatment option for HER2-positive patients.
Secondary Healing versus Midline Closure and Modified Bascom Natal Cleft Lift for Pilonidal Sinus Disease

Background and Aims: Pilonidal sinus disease is a common disease in young employed male adults. Ongoing discomfort usually indicates an operative intervention. The main drawback is however the complication of wound healing. Numerous techniques for surgical treatment have been proposed, which underlies the lack of a superior technique. Material and Methods: A retrospective study was performed on the medical notes of 62 patients operated for a pilonidal sinus between May 2005 and December 2006. Used techniques were: ‘modified Bascom procedure’, ‘excision and primary closure’ and ‘excision with secondary wound healing’. Patients' characteristics, operative parameters and data on outcome were included. The primary endpoint was wound healing. Results: Twenty-five patients underwent the modified Bascom procedure, 19 underwent surgical excision with primary midline closure and 18 underwent surgical excision with secondary wound healing. There were no demographical differences between the groups of patients. The modified Bascom technique showed a significantly reduced wound healing time (29 days) compared to primary closure (52 days, p < 0.01) and secondary healing (62 days, p < 0.01). The duration of this modified procedure was significantly longer (49, 33 and 24 minutes respectively, p < 0.01). Conclusions: Wound healing remains an important problem in the surgical treatment of pilonidal disease. Significant faster convalescence can be achieved using the modified Bascom procedure. Wide local excision as primary therapy should not be advocated.
PP2A methylation controls sensitivity and resistance to β-amyloid–induced cognitive and electrophysiological impairments

Significance Elevated levels of the β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) are thought to contribute to the cognitive impairments associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We found that by genetically targeting the methylation of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in transgenic mice, we could alter the sensitivity of animals to electrophysiological and cognitive impairments caused by Aβ exposure without affecting Aβ production or the electrophysiological response to low concentrations of Aβ. These data support a role for PP2A methylation in contributing to AD risk and identify a potential therapeutic pathway that might be exploited to target the pathological actions of Aβ selectively. Elevated levels of the β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) are thought to contribute to cognitive and behavioral impairments observed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) participates in multiple molecular pathways implicated in AD, and its expression and activity are reduced in postmortem brains of AD patients. PP2A is regulated by protein methylation, and impaired PP2A methylation is thought to contribute to increased AD risk in hyperhomocysteinemic individuals. To examine further the link between PP2A and AD, we generated transgenic mice that overexpress the PP2A methylesterase, protein phosphatase methylesterase-1 (PME-1), or the PP2A methyltransferase, leucine carboxyl methyltransferase-1 (LCMT-1), and examined the sensitivity of these animals to behavioral and electrophysiological impairments caused by exogenous Aβ exposure. We found that PME-1 overexpression enhanced these impairments, whereas LCMT-1 overexpression protected against Aβ-induced impairments. Neither transgene affected Aβ production or the electrophysiological response to low concentrations of Aβ, suggesting that these manipulations selectively affect the pathological response to elevated Aβ levels. Together these data identify a molecular mechanism linking PP2A to the development of AD-related cognitive impairments that might be therapeutically exploited to target selectively the pathological effects caused by elevated Aβ levels in AD patients.
