8: Comparative morphology of the gas exchangers

Gas exchangers provide molecular oxygen, a necessary resource for development and survival. The respiratory medium utilised, phylogenetic levels of development attained, habitat occupied and lifestyles pursued are the main determinants of the various morphologies of the gas exchangers. The remarkable differences in the physicochemical properties of water and air have prescribed 2 primary groups of rather discordant gas exchangers, respectively, gills and lungs. Water is a more viscous medium and is hence more costly to breathe, contains less oxygen per unit volume and the diffusivity of oxygen is lower. The gills develop by evagination and the lungs by invagination. The highly specialised transitional (bimodal) breathers extract oxygen from water and air. Amidst the remarkable morphological differences, prescriptively, gas exchangers have certain common features. These include large surface area, thin partitioning between the respiratory media and high degree of vascularisation. The refinements that set the respiratory efficiency of gas exchangers are achieved through permutative processes that entail certain trade-offs and compromises. The structure of the respiratory organs of a wide range of invertebrate and vertebrate animals, some living in water and air, some displaying different metabolic capacities and some occupying different environments will be presented to illustrate the stratagems and exceptional morphological adaptations that animals have adopted to acquire molecular oxygen.
Characterization of Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] Mutant Lines

One way to increase soybean production is to develop superior varieties. Development of superior varieties can be done through mutation techniques. Identification of superior varieties is a technique to determine whether what is being faced is the intended variety and characterization aims to produce plant descriptions. This research was conducted by descriptive analysis using the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV). The line numbers used are M100A25 (2/7), M100A25 (3/4), M100A25 (3/7), M200A17 (18/5), M200A12 (6/5), M200A11 (32/3), M100A17 (18/5), M200A17 (13/7), M200A12 (6/5), and Anjasmoro comparison varieties. Morphological characterization is an observation of physical appearance that can be seen and measured such as hypocotyl color, feather color and flowering time. Morphological characterization has a disadvantage that is not necessarily showing the actual genetic diversity, due to environmental factors that affect plant morphology.
Prognostic Value of Cardiac Biomarkers in Hemodialysis Patients – which one to use?

The high prevalence of cardiovascular mortality in the end-stage renal disease population is well established. The aim of this current study was to document the relative prognostic significance of established biomarkers high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs cTnT), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) and high-sensitive CRP (hs CRP) in this population. A prospective cohort study of dialysis patients undertaken in a single centre in Bulgaria. The relation between mortality and cardiac biomarkers was evaluated in 140 hemodialysis patients. End-point of interest was cardiac mortality. Statistical analysis using Cox proportional hazards was used to study relationship between competing covariates and outcome. Patients was followed upor a median duration of 24 months. The mean concentrations (+/-SEM) of hs cTnT, cTnI, NTproBNP and hs CRP were 0,07±0,01 μg/L, 0,03±0,01 μg/L, 14969±1125 pg/mL and 16,4±2,38 mg/L respectively. Thirty-six subjects died during the period of follow up. By univariate analysis, cardiac markers hs cTnT, cTnI and NT-proBNP were significantly associated with an increase mortality. On Cox proportional hazards analysis, hs cTnT showed a highest significant association with cardiac mortality, with hazard ratios of 2,46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1,39-4,33, p<0,002, followed by cTnI1,82, 95% CI1,41-2,34, p<0,0001 and NT-proBNP 1,78, 95% CI 1,28-2,48, p<0,001 respectively. In patients with end-stage renal failure on dialysis hs cTnT provides greater prognostic information compared with NT-proBNP and cTnI.

There is an urgent need for the development of novel drugs to treat it. Nudol (1), a phenanthrene compound from the traditional Chinese medicine, Dendrobium nobile, exhibited antiproliferative activity against osteosarcoma cells. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the role and underlying mechanism of nudol(1) as potential chemotherapy for osteosarcoma. Methods: Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. Cell-cycle phase distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry and Western blot. DAPI staining was used for morphology observation. Apoptosis was analysis via flow cytometry. The expression levels of mRNA and protein related to capase-mediated apoptotic pathway were detected by real-time PCR and western blotting. Migration was determined by wound healing assays. Results: Nudol(1) significantly decreased cell viability in several cancer cell lines. Moreover, nudol(1) caused cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase in U2OS cells, and it also induced cell apoptosis through the caspase-dependent pathway. In addition, treatment with nudol(1) suppressed the migration of U2OS cells. Conclusion: The present study, for the first time, demonstrated effects of nudol(1) on OS in vitro and the potential molecular mechanisms. Accordingly, nudol(1) might have the potential for further development as a lead compound against bone tumor.
Prospective Teachers’ Interpretation: What They Attend to the Students’ Mathematical Thinking

This study aimed to describe the profile of prospective teachers attention in interpreting students' mathematical thinking in the domain of inversed proportion. The subject of this research are 5 semester undergraduate students of Mathematics Education Program from Muhammadiyah University of Purworejo. We selected eight students who can attend to student's strategies in solving Building Construction Problem. Qualitative analysis was used to obtain profile of prospective teacher attention in interpreting students’ mathematical thinking based on the model prospective teacher used. When interpreting students' mathematical thinking, prospective teachers pay attention to: operations performed by students, concepts and formulas used by students such as: the concept of direct proportion, inverse proportion, cross multiplication, distributive property of multiplication, and the stages of problem solving according to Polya's steps. Their attention is much influenced by tacit knowledge and past experience.
Decreased Plasma Maresin 1 Concentration Is Associated with Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Aims To assess the maresin 1 (MaR1) contents in type 2 diabetic patients with or without diabetic foot ulcer and to analyze the association of MaR1 concentrations with several metabolism-related parameters. Methods Plasma MaR1 concentrations were analyzed in 96 subjects with normal glucose tolerant (NC, n = 43), type 2 diabetes (T2DM, n = 40), or diabetic foot ulcer (DFU, n = 13). The intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) and biochemical parameters were measured in all participants. Results Plasma MaR1 concentrations were significant decreased in type 2 diabetes patient with or without DFU compared with NC (both P < 0.001) and were lowest in DFU patients among these 3 groups. (DFU vs. T2DM, P < 0.05). Plasma MaR1 concentrations were negatively correlated with BMI, waist circumference (Wc), waist hip ratio (WHR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), LDL-c, FPG, 2hPG, HbA1c, and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (all P < 0.05) and were positively correlated with HDL-c, acute insulin response (AIR), area under the curve of the first-phase (0-10 min) insulin secretion (AUC), and homeostasis model assessment for beta-cell function (HOMA-β) (all P < 0.05). After adjusting for age and sex, Wc, WHR, TG, FPG, 2hPG, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, AIR, AUC, and HOMA-β remain statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusions Plasma MaR1 concentration were decreased in T2DM with or without DFUs and were the lowest in DFU patients. The decreased plasma MaR1 strongly associated with obesity, impaired glucose and lipid metabolism, reduced first-phase of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and enhanced insulin resistance.
PHOTOGRAMMETRIC BRIDGING USING FILTERED MONOCULAR OPTICAL FLOW

Under certain conditions the positioning and orientation sensors such as INS and GPS of a land-based mobile mapping system may fail for a certain time interval. The consequence is that the images captured during this time interval may not be oriented properly or even may have no orientation. This article presents a solution to orient the images based only on image processing and a photogrammetric technique without any external sensors in order to overcome the lack of external orientation. A land-based mobile mapping system with a pair of video cameras and a GPS receiver was used to test the proposed methodology on an urban flat road. The video cameras were mounted on the roof of the vehicle with both optical axes parallel to the main road axis (Y). The methodology is based on the velocity estimation of the vehicle, which is done in two steps. Initially, the dense optical flow is computed then the velocity estimation is obtained through a filtering strategy that consists of using radial vectors in the low parts of the images. These radial vectors are detected by the Canny algorithm. The vehicle velocity is re-estimated after eliminating the optical flow outliers. With the re-estimated velocity and with the video sampling time the spatial displacement of each image (with respect to the previous one of the sequence) is determined. The displacement is used as an approximation to the image position. Homologous points are manually selected in the first stereo pair. Assuming an arbitrary orientation for the first pair, the corresponding object point coordinates are computed by photogrammetric intersection. The orientation is computed by phototriangulation with additional parameters. Following, new bases are included, one by one, and the phototriangulation is computed for every additional basis. The photocoordinates are determined by forward area correlation. This process has been called photogrammetric bridging or traverse. The results show that the estimated velocity is pretty close to the true one and the quality of the least square adjustment is quite acceptable, considering that no external sensors were used. * Corresponding author.
Sustainable fisheries subsidies for small scale fisheries in Indonesia

As a country with enormous fisheries resources, Indonesia face threats to sustainability of the resources which are suspected because of the implementation of fisheries subsidies that did not consider the resources. On the other side, government provide subsidies to alleviate poverty and improve fishermen’s welfare. A number of countries, especially developed countries encourage the elimination of fisheries subsidies through WTO and other countries, especially developing countries opposed the proposal of the developed countries. Nevertheless, it is necessary to make a balance between community development and environmental protection in case of fisheries subsidies. This study reviews the implementation of fisheries subsidies in Indonesia. The research is based on a literacy study along with data and information on fishery subsidies that have been carried out so far by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries as an authorized government agency. The results of the study indicate that there are benefits from providing subsidies to the welfare of fishermen and also support the sustainability of fisheries

The Role of Urinary Uric Acid to Creatinine Ratio as a Marker of Perinatal Asphyxia and Its Severity in Newborns

Perinatal asphyxia is one of the most important causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality in our country. Easily available biochemical markers are still not used routinely in diagnosis of perinatal asphyxia. Our study aims to use urinary uric acid to creatinine ratio to diagnose perinatal asphyxia and its severity. This prospective study was conducted at Dr. BSA Hospital, Delhi from March, 2015 to March, 2016. A total of fifty (50) asphyxiated and fifty (50) non-asphyxiated term newborns were included in the study. It was found that the urinary uric acid to creatinine ratio (UUA/Cr) is significantly (p<0.001) increased in asphyxiated newborns and its level is directly related to the severity of perinatal asphyxia. The above study shows that the spot urinary uric acid to creatinine ratio may be used as a biochemical marker for diagnosing and predicting the outcome of perinatal asphyxia.
Tensile Behavior of lignocellulosic reinforced polyester composites: Part III coir fiber

The fiber extracted from the husk of a coconut fruit, known as coir fiber, has been extensively investigated as a second phase incorporation into polymer composites. The moderate strength of the coir fiber usually does not represent reinforcement to relatively strong thermoset matrices such as polyester, epoxy and phenolic. However, a selection of thinner coir fibers and a post cure treatment of the composite could improve its mechanical performance. Therefore, this work investigated the tensile properties of post-cured polyester matrix composites incorporated with the thinnest coir fiber. Tensile specimens with up to 40% in volume of long and aligned coir fibers were tested and their fracture analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. A relatively improvement was found in the tensile properties for the amount of 40% of coir fiber. These results were compared with similar composites that were bend-tested. The fracture analysis showed a comparatively better fiber/matrix adhesion.

WHE-REPORTS AS A COMPLEMENTARY DATABASE TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERNATIONAL MACROSEISMIC SCALE

Over the past few years the number of reports which are included in the World Housing Encyclopedia WHE (http://db.world-housing.net/) has increased in a remarkable way. This development was not the least supported by international initiatives contributing to global earthquake (risk) reduction. The WHE can be regarded as the most comprehensive database covering the regional variation of structural systems for the majority of building typologies in earthquake-affected regions worldwide. Recent efforts have been concentrating on the identification and detailed description of prominent building typologies in various parts of the world that are still missing in the database. Further progress in filling up the database might be achieved by affiliating/collaborating with international Master courses and the elaboration of reports as part of the project work related to risk assessment in structural engineering, most probably by students preparing reports of typologies prevalent in their home countries (see http://www.uni-weimar.de/nhre). The paper at hand informs about the current update of WHE reports in order to give a more harmonized assignment of the most likely vulnerability class (as well as their ranges) to the respective typologies. Authors are asked to indicate the quality of their data, particularly their confidence level in determining the vulnerability class and what type of information this assignment is based upon. This editorial qualification supports the direct link of the reports in transforming the European Macroseismic Scale (EMS-98) into an International Macroseismic Scale (IMS). Guidance is provided how the description of vulnerability classes can be better related to the EMS-98 principles while harmonizing the information provided. In addition to the vulnerability class, authors are requested to submit updates of the reports, especially immediately after the occurrence of larger earthquakes. Here, the quality (reliability) of the assignments could be indicated, accepting that the vulnerability of an individual building typology (reported) stands in a meaningful/sound relationship to the observed response and assigned vulnerability classes of other building typologies. The paper summarizes regional variations of the overall building typology and tries to correlate general characteristics (e.g., age) with seismic vulnerability features (i.e., structural layout, elements, connections, floor and roof type etc.) to the expected “IMS vulnerability class” for each regional variant. Following the updated EMS Vulnerability Table, regional particularities are expressed in their most likely vulnerability class, along with the ranges of probable and less probable (i.e., exceptional) cases.
A Study on Fissural Anatomy of lungs in Adult Human Cadavers – Its Clinical Importance

The lungs are essential organs of respiration and are situated in the thoracic cavity on either side of the mediastinum. The arrangement of lung tissue into lobes by fissures facilitates the movements of the lobes in relation to one another thus helping in uniform expansion of the whole lung in inspiration. The fissure may be complete, incomplete, or absent altogether. In the presence of these major variations, the left lung may have three lobes and the right lung may have four or only two lobes. The identification of the completeness of the fissure is important before lobectomy. Individuals with incomplete fissure are more prone to develop postoperative air leaks. Methods: 62 adult lungs available in the department were studied and the fissures with respect to the borders were noted. Results: Out of total 62 lungs studied, 30 were from left side and 32 were from right side. Out of 32 right lungs examined, the horizontal fissure was absent in 11 lungs and incomplete in 11 lungs. Complete horizontal fissure was seen in 10 lungs. Oblique fissure was incomplete in 20 lungs. The complete oblique fissures were reported in 12 lungs. Out of 30 left lungs, the incomplete oblique fissure was noted in 12 lungs and complete oblique fissures were present in 17 lungs. The oblique fissure was absent in 1 lung. Horizontal fissure is present in one left lung having three lobes. Studies have recorded the importance of fissural anatomy in explaining various radiological appearances of inter-lobar fluid, extension of fluid into an incomplete fissure, or spread of diseases through them. Recognition of laterality of fissure in the lung improves understanding of pneumonia, pleural effusion, collateral air drift along with disease, carcinoma spreading within lung, postoperative air leakage in incomplete fissure and misinterpretation of accessory fissure as atelectasis or consolidation, and segmental localization of the lung for thoracic, cardiothoracic surgeons for planning segmental resections or pulmonary lobectomy.
A Prospective Study Comparing Induction Chemotherapy with Low Dose Fractionated Radiation Followed by Conventional Radiotherapy Versus Conventional Concomitant Chemoradiotherapy In Locally Advanced Head and Neck Cancers

Background: To study and compare response rate and toxicities of Induction chemotherapy with Low dose fractionated radiation followed by conventional radiotherapy versus conventional concomitant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced head and neck cancer. Materials & Method: Between February 2009 to August 2010 ,60 cases of locally advanced head and neck cancer were treated either inARM A receiving 2 cycles of induction therapy (q 3 weeks ) with paclitaxel (day 1) and cisplatin (day 2), with Low dose fractionated radiation to gross disease followed by radiotherapy or in ARM B receiving chemoradiotherapy with 3 weekly cisplatin. After treatment all patients underwent clinical and radiological evaluation at the end of first three months, then six monthly till end point. Result: The overall response rate (CR +PR) was (63% + 17%) 80% in the study arm (ARM A) and( 50% + 13%) 73% in the control arm (ARM B). After a median follow up of 84 months out of the 30 patients in Arm A 16 are still alive while 14 patients died as compared to 12 patients being alive with 18 dead in the Arm B. The increase in CR, PR, OR was not however statistically significant (P= 0.43, P= 0.74, P= 0.76 respectably) due to the smaller sample size. The median overall survival for arm A is yet to be reached while that of Arm B is 36 months . The 5 yrs OS of Arm A is 60 months while that of arm B is 43.3 months. In our study acute reactions were more in Arm B. Hematological toxicitieswere more in Arm A with statistically significant p value for leucopenia & neutropenia but were manageable with G-CSF support. Late reactions were less in Arm A but not statistically significant. Conclusion: Induction chemotherapy with Low dose fractionated radiation followed by conventional radiotherapy is a major treatment option in advanced upper aerodigestive tract cancer resulting in 63% CR with equivalent late toxicity & with less severe acute reactions apart from a higher but manageable incidence of hematological toxicities.
