Intracranial Aneurysms : Surgery Still Safe as a Treatment Option

Background. Despite a number of studies on the treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA), the optimal method still remains unclear. Objectives. The aim of the study was to demonstrate that UIA clipping is a safe procedure and can be a good alternative for patients not qualified for endovascular procedures and who have refused conservative management. Material and Methods. Results were gathered from a sample of 104 patients with UIA treated in our facility over a 9-year period starting January 2005. The data from a medical database was collected, followed by a long-term assessment of the functional outcomes using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and of quality of life (QoL) using a SF-36 questionnaire and comparing it to a Polish population reference. Results. Overall postoperative morbidity was 5.7% and the mortality rate was 0%. The mean follow-up period was 6.5 years. A favorable outcome (mRS 0–2) was achieved in all the patients. Ninety-eight patients achieved an mRS score of 0, 2 patients an mRS score of 1, and 4 patients an mRS score of 2. All patients lived at home. Sixty-nine point two percent were fully employed, 27.0% were retired because of age, and only 3.8% relied on government help due to postoperative disability. The QoL index was similar to that of the standard Polish population. Conclusions. In unruptured cerebral aneurysms, clipping is a safe procedure that provides good outcomes and an unaffected quality of life. It remains a good option especially for patients with MCA aneurysms that are not appropriate for endovascular management (Adv Clin Exp Med 2016, 25, 5, 911–916).
Study of ϕ(2170) at BESIII

After the first observation of ϕ(2170) in the process ${e^ + }{e^ - } \to {\gamma _{ISR}}\phi {f_0}(980)$, several theoretical interpretations have been proposed to explain the nature of ϕ(2170). Aspects of ϕ(2170) are still not fully understood until now. Large J/ψ events and energy scan data samples collected by the BESIII detector provide the opportunity to perform the further study to ϕ(2170). In this presentation, $J/\psi \to \eta \phi (2170)$ and ${e^ + }{e^ - } \to \eta \phi (2170)$ are studied to improve the measurements of mass and width of ϕ(2170). e+e− → K+K−, $\phi {K^ + }{K^ - }$ and K+K−K+K− are investigated to search for the new decay mode of ϕ(2170). Those studies would be useful for improving the understanding of the nature of ϕ(2170).
Outcomes of Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing for Surgical Treatment of Pediatric Tibial Shaft Fractures

Background: This retrospective study aimed to assess radiographic and clinical outcomes, characterize demographic, injury, and fracture characteristics, and elucidate the rate of postoperative complications and associated factors in a large cohort of children treated with elastic stable intramedullary nail for diaphyseal tibial fractures at two large pediatric referral centers. Methods: Medical records were reviewed for demographic clinical and radiographic parameters at injury, surgery, and all subsequent clinical visits until radiographic healing was observed and/or for a minimum of 6 months postoperatively. Results: A total of 146 patients (79.5% male) were included. The mean (SD) age was 11.8 (63.0) years. Radiographic union occurred by 3 months in 56.6% of patients. Nine patients had delayed union, and four had nonunion. By 3 months postoperatively, 97.2% of patients had progressed to full weight bearing and 92.5% had full range of motion of the knee and ankle. Subgroup analyses revealed that patients with open fractures were found to be more than eight times at increased risk of developing delayed union (.6 months, odds ratio = 8.71). Conclusion: Elastic stable intramedullary nail remains a safe and effective treatment of open and closed pediatric diaphyseal tibial fractures. A small yet notable risk of residual angular deformity, delayed union, and nonunion remains, although rates may be better than previously reported.
ÉTUDE DU SOULÈVEMENT PLÉISTOCENE DANS LE NORD-EST DE LA FRANCE ET LE SUD-OUEST DE L'ALLEMAGNE D'APRÈS LES TERRASSES DU BASSIN DE LA MOSELLE : RELATION AVEC LES PROPRIÉTÉS CRUSTALES

Les terrasses de la Moselle et de son affluent la Meurthe permettent d’evaluer le soulevement dans le Nord-Est de la France et le Sud-Ouest de l’Allemagne depuis le Pliocene. Le soulevement est estime a environ 120 m depuis la « revolution climatique du Pleistocene moyen » (v. 0,9 Ma), a environ 160 m depuis 2 Ma et a environ 180 m depuis la fin de l’optimum climatique mi-Pliocene (vers 3,1 Ma). Plusieurs phases de soulevement peuvent etre distinguees, le debut de chacune d’entre elles coincidant avec une modification dans le rythme des fluctuations climatiques definies dans le temps long. Cette coincidence suggere que le soulevement observe est lie a des augmentations dans l’intensite des processus de surface associes aux changements climatiques (en particulier l’erosion). Ce lien est confirme par l’utilisation de modeles numeriques qui permettent en outre de montrer que les changements brutaux observes pour les vitesses de soulevement dans le bassin de la Moselle sont determines par la faible epaisseur de la couche mobile dans la croute inferieure, lui-meme genere par sous-placage mafique a la base de la croute. L’etude des enregistrements sedimentaires de la Moselle et de la Meurthe met ainsi en evidence des modeles de reponses du milieu qui sont caracteristiques de la plus grande partie du continent europeen.
Analytical modeling and optimization of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy experiments, using photoswitches as antennas

From classical charge transport equations and dipole radiation equations, we derive a simple analytical model for the signal detected in terahertz time-domain spectroscopy using photoconducting antennas. The validity of our model is checked by comparison to published calculated results and to experimental data we have measured. This expression depends mostly on the carrier lifetime in the antennas' semiconductor material and on the laser pulse duration. The analytical form of the detected terahertz (THz) signal allows us to separate the contribution of the different experimental parameters. Together with a detailed noise analysis in THz time-domain spectroscopy, we optimize the parameter values in order to achieve the largest dynamics of measurement.

Liposarcoma A study of 55 cases with a reassessment of its classification

Fifty-five cases of liposarcoma were reviewed. The cases were classified on the basis of histopathologic findings as follows: myxoid, 29 cases; well-differentiated, 11 cases; dedifferentiated, eight cases; pleomorphic, four cases; combined well-differentiated and pleomorphic, two cases; and unclassified, one case. The term “dedifferentiated liposarcoma” is proposed for tumors containing distinct areas of well-differentiated liposarcoma and cellular nonlipogenic spindle-cell or plemorphic sarcoma. All patients except one were adults. Myxoid and plemorphic liposarcoma predominantly involved the thigh, while well-differentiated, dedifferentiated, and combined well-differentiated-plemorphic liposarcoma showed a marked preference for the retroperitoneum. The survival of patients with pleomorphic and dedifferentiated liposarcoma was significantly poorer than that of those with the myxoid and well-differentiated varieties. There was a marked tendency toward local recurrence in all types. Recurrent myxoid and pleomorphic liposarcomas were often controlled by additional therapy, whereas recurrences of other types usually were not; this difference was considered largely a result of locational factors. Metastasis was observed in 10 cases of myxoid liposarcoma, three of plemorphic liposarcoma, and two of dedifferentiated liposarcoma. In myxoid liposarcoma, initial treatment consisting of excision followed by radiation resulted in a significantly reduced rate of local recurrence as compared with excision alone, and more extensive as compared with excision alone, and more extensive hypercellular zones were associated with increased metastatic potential. “Round cell” liposarcoma was not found to be an independent type; all cases for which this designation might have been considered could be better classified as myxoid liposarcoma with cellular areas (usually) or plemorphic liposarcoma with rounded cells (rarely). The resemblance of portions of some dedifferentiated and plemorphi liposarcomas to “malignat fibrous histocytoma” was sufficient to deny the specificity of the histologic pattern of the latter.

EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE Evidence-Based Interventional Pain Medicine according to Clinical Diagnoses

Coccygodynia is painful condition localized in the region of the coccyx. In most cases a traumatic etiology is present. In the idiopathic form other causes such as infections and tumor have to be excluded. Coccygodynia can also be the result of pain referred from visceral structures due to conditions such as disorders of the rectum, the colon sigmoi- deum, and the urogenital system. In case of a traumatic etiology the diagnosis is made based on the typical medical history whereby the pain is provoked by prolonged sitting and cycling. Lateral images of the coccyx are always indi- cated. The same is true for manual examination of the coccyx. In case of absence of provocation of the coccygeal pain by prolonged sitting and manual examination neuro- logical causes such as lumbar disc hernias are a possible reason for the coccygodynia. In the acute phase the first choice of treatment are NSAIDs. Treatment for patients with severe pain in the chronic phase consists of manual therapy and/or a local injec- tion of local anesthetic and corticosteroid into the painful segment (2 C+). Other interventional treatments such as intradiscal injections, ganglion impar block, radiofrequency treatment and caudal block are advised only under study conditions (0). Coccygectomy is not recommended because of long-term moderate results and the chance of major complications.
A chemotaxis-haptotaxis system with haptoattractant remodeling: Boundedness enforced by mild saturation of signal production

Calculations and Evaluations of Neutron-Induced Reactions on 180m,181Ta

Abstract The neutron reaction data of 181Ta for the incident energy up to 200 MeV are urgently required for the study of nuclear reactor systems of fission or fusion. To meet this requirement, all cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra, and double-differential cross sections for n + 180m,181Ta reactions are consistently calculated and analyzed at incident neutron energies up to 200 MeV. The theoretical results are compared with the experimental data and the evaluated results in ENDF/B-VIII, JENDL-4, and JEFF-3.
Multicystic dysplastic kidney: Natural history of prenatally detected cases

To delineate the natural history of fetal multicystic dysplastic kidneys (MDKs), all cases that were prenatally detected in the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the University of Virginia from September 1985 to 31 August 1988 were reviewed. All patients were followed through the Center with serial ultrasound evaluations at approximately 4‐week intervals, and each liveborn infant was evaluated and followed by one of the authors (S.S.H.)
Bootstrap procedures for detecting multiple persistence shifts in heteroskedastic time series

This article proposes new bootstrap procedures for detecting multiple persistence shifts in a time series driven by non‐stationary volatility. The assumed volatility process can accommodate discrete breaks, smooth transition variation as well as trending volatility. We develop wild bootstrap sup‐Wald tests of the null hypothesis that the process is either stationary [I(0)] or has a unit root [I(1)] throughout the sample. We also propose a sequential procedure to estimate the number of persistence breaks based on ordering the regime‐specific bootstrap p‐values. The asymptotic validity of the advocated procedures is established both under the null of stability and a variety of persistence change alternatives. A comparison with existing tests that assume homoskedasticity illustrates the finite sample improvements offered by our methods. An application to OECD inflation rates highlights the empirical relevance of the proposed approach and weakens the case for persistence change relative to existing procedures.
Development of Learning Design for Mathematics Manipulatives Learning based on E-learning and Character Building

Many types of e-learning are currently available for use in the education sector. E-learning can provide training and education to a large number of students with diverse cultural backgrounds and educational levels. However, e-learning can fail if forced to provide teaching material that exceeds what can be achieved by e-learning. Some people usually do not understand the weaknesses and limitations of e-learning and some of them might expect too much. Social conditions outside the educational regulations play an important role in the formation of student character. Thus the development of positive character can be created through a dynamic relationship between internal and external factors. This study aims to develop the learning design (LD) using mathematics manipulative based on e-learning and character building. The development of LD is carried out in five stages including the initial investigation phase, design, realization, a series of actions consisting of tests followed by evaluation and revision, and field trials of the product. The results show that the completeness of 89% can be achieved by both individuals and classical after learning using designs that have been developed. The high level of completeness is due to students being able to study independently through material that has been uploaded by the lecturer and if students are not clear they can directly ask the lecturer through the chat facilities provided without waiting for the next meeting. There is a significant difference between the learning outcomes of the experimental class and the control class. The learning outcomes of experimental class students have higher independence and responsibility. Students in the experimental class are able to produce more manipulatives and have better quality.
Relationships between metabolic fluxes and enzyme amino acid composition

Cell metabolism is comprised of enzyme-catalyzed biochemical reactions and carrier-mediated transport processes. Taken as a whole, these reactions form interrelated metabolic pathways which are combined into a cellular metabolic network. Metabolic fluxes describe the amount of material chemically converted or transported per time unit and are considered as the key parameters of any metabolic pathway and hence, as the fundamental determinants of cell physiology [1-4]. Changes in metabolic fluxes in response to various types of genetic and environmental perturbations are critical for the metabolic flux control which is a key objective of metabolic engineering [5,6]. On the other hand, enzyme activity is one of the major factors influencing the magnitude of metabolic fluxes in any cell [6]. According to concepts of systems biology, metabolic fluxes are net sums of underlying enzymatic reaction rates represented by integral outputs of three biological quantities which interact at the level of enzyme kinetics: kinetic parameters, enzyme and reactant concentrations [7]. An integrated view on enzymes suggests them as dynamic assemblies whose variable structures are closely related to catalytic functions [8,9]. It is therefore important to extend our knowledge of enzyme sequence, structure, and function relationships [10], as well as to explore coherencies between enzyme activity profiles and metabolic flux distributions in order to understand the physiological dynamics within a cell [2,11].

Expression and Regulation of Glucokinase in Rat Islet β- andα -Cells during Development.

Glucokinase (GK) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the glycolytic pathway of the β-cell and, even in the rat fetus at 22-days gestation, immediately before birth, acts as a sensor of glucose influencing the rate of glucose utilization. However, when GK first appears in islets during β-cell development is unknown. Whether GK is expressed in fetal glucagon-producing cells is also unknown. To determine this information, fetal rat islets were examined at 16-, 18-, and 22-days gestation. GK was identified immunocytochemically in bothβ - and α-cells at all these ages, with the number of GK immunoreactive cells positively correlated to the fetal age from 16–22 days. Western blot analysis of islet protein extracts demonstrated the presence of GK, at 52 kDa, at 16 days and thereafter. To determine whether glucose had any effect on regulation of GK biosynthesis, fetal islets were cultured in medium containing a wide range of concentrations of glucose for 7 days. The amount of GK protein was significantly decreased in .
Modification of Natural Proanthocyanidin Oligomers and Polymers Via Chemical Oxidation under Alkaline Conditions

We tested the susceptibility of 102 proanthocyanidin (PA)-rich plant extracts to oxidation under alkaline conditions and the possibility to produce chemically modified PAs via oxidation. Both the nonoxidized and the oxidized extracts were analyzed using group-specific ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography–diode array detection–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–DAD–MS/MS) methods capable of detecting procyanidin (PC) and prodelphinidin (PD) moieties along the two-dimensional (2D) chromatographic fingerprints of plant PAs. The results indicated different reactivities for PCs and PDs. When detected by UHPLC–DAD only, most of the PC-rich samples exhibited only a subtle change in their PA content, but the UHPLC–MS/MS quantitation showed that the decrease in the PC content varied by 0–100%. The main reaction route was concluded to be intramolecular. The PD-rich and galloylated PAs showed a different pattern with high reductions in the original PA content by both ultraviolet (UV) and MS/MS quantitation, accompanied by the shifted retention times of the chromatographic PA humps. In these samples, both intra- and intermolecular reactions were indicated.
