Study of The Effects of N-Acetylcysteine on Oxidative Stress Status of Patients on Maintenance-Hemodialysis Undergoing Cadaveric Kidney Transplantation.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a potent antioxidant that acts through regenerating glutathione stores and scavenging oxygen-free radicals. This study assesses the short-term effects of NAC in cadaveric kidney transplant (KT) recipients. A double blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial was designed and patients were randomly assigned to receive either NAC or placebo. Glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity in erythrocytes and serum malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were measured and serum creatinine levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) determined in the early phase after transplantation, were also compared between two study groups. Thirty-seven males and 20 females, with mean ± SD age of 44.6 ± 12.4 years completed the study. Significant difference (P = 0.02) was seen between GPX activity reduction in the placebo group, and that of the NAC group and on the levels of MDA there was no significant difference between two study groups (P = 0.53). Significant improvement in immediate graft function (IGF), (68% versus 40%, P = 0.05) and the first week eGFR were observed in the NAC group compared to the placebo group (52.46 ± 2.77 versus 38.75 ± 19.67 mL/min/1.73 m2, P = 0.02). It seems that the protective mechanisms of NAC, other than its antioxidant properties, can be favorable in KT patients.
Robotic Transabdominal Control of the Suprahepatic, Infradiaphragmatic Vena Cava to Enable Level 3 Caval Tumor Thrombectomy: Pilot Study in a Perfused-Cadaver Model

To develop a robotic technique for exclusively transabdominal control of the suprahepatic, infradiaphragmatic inferior vena cava (IVC) to enable level 3 IVC tumor thrombectomy.Robotic technique was developed in three fresh, perfused-model cadavers. Preoperatively, inflow (right jugular vein) and outflow (left femoral vein) cannulae were inserted and connected to a centrifugal pump to establish a 10 mmHg pressure in the IVC for the water-perfused cadaver model. Using a five-port transperitoneal robotic approach, the falciform ligament was detached from the anterior abdominal wall toward its junction with the diaphragm and tautly retracted caudally; this adequately retracted the liver caudally as well. Triangular and coronary ligaments were incised, allowing ready visualization of suprahepatic/infradiaphragmatic IVC and right/left main hepatic veins. Under direct robotic visualization, IVC was circumferentially mobilized, vessel-looped, and controlled.All three robotic procedures were successfully completed transabdominally. Average robotic time to control the suprahepatic IVC was 37 minutes; in each case, the suprahepatic IVC was circumferentially controlled with a vessel-loop. There were no intraoperative complications. Length of the mobilized suprahepatic IVC measured between 2 and 3 cm. Right and left suprahepatic veins were clearly visualized in each case. Necropsy revealed no intra-abdominal/intrathoracic visceral or vascular injuries to the suprahepatic IVC, bilateral hepatic veins, or tributaries.We developed a novel robotic technique for transabdominal control of the suprahepatic infradiaphragmatic IVC in a perfused human cadaver model. This approach may extend the application of advanced robotic techniques for the performance of major vena caval, hepatic, and level 3 IVC renal tumor thrombus surgery.

A 14-Year-Old Girl with Recurrent Vulvar Abscess

<h2>Abstract</h2><h3>Background</h3> Inflammatory bowel disease is a relatively common condition that may present in a myriad of fashions, from the more frequently seen symptoms of diarrhea and abdominal pain to the less likely presentations with fistulas and abscesses. <h3>Case</h3> A 14-year-old female with a presumed diagnosis of a Bartholin's gland cyst was treated for over 1 year with both medical and surgical interventions without her symptoms ever completely resolving. It was later found that these recurring vulvar abscesses were a manifestation of Crohn's disease. <h3>Conclusion</h3> While the patient's history and physical are both very important in determining cause for pathology, we must also realize the importance of re-examining and broadening our differential diagnosis when faced with a patient who has failed multiple avenues of care.
Photomechanical printing in europe in the mid-19th century: history, theory, visual culture, science and the international network in the 1840s-1860s

The project examines the pioneering era of photomechanical printing as a fundamental part of history of photography, art, science and modern visual culture. It focuses on the first three decades of development of photomechanical technologies, i.e. the era between the introduction of photography in the late 1830s and the outset of industrial mass-production of photography-based images in the 1860s. It centres on the UK, France and the Austrian Empire, as countries which played leading parts in the photomechanical research and practice from the 1840s onwards. Considering the state of the art of existing scholarship, as well as the amount and variety of preserved sources, the research will comprise collection and archival surveys, visual, material and contextual analysis and interpretation of original objects (prints and matrices), as well as close reading of correspondence, manuscripts and period publications. In order to understand the circumstances and cultural contexts in which different photomechanical technologies emerged and developed, the project will also look at social structures and networks of inventors, supporters, critics, and users. Great attention will be paid to theoretical period discussions on potential and the future of photomechanical printing. More elaborate knowledge of these phenomena will help to understand not only history of photography, but also history of art and science, and to consider more carefully different perspectives on development of photography-based technology and its interpretation. Through close collaboration with the supervisor and the partner institutions, the fellow will be able to extend her research beyond history of photography, and to enhance her complex research capacities, inter-sectoral collaboration, networking, leadership, managerial and publication skills. Advanced training through research, dissemination and communication activities will contribute significantly to the fellow’s professional and career development.
Optimal orchestration of virtualized network functions for improved quality-of-service

Telecom networks provide vital communication infrastructure and play a key role in promoting the economic and social well-being. Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is an emerging, promising and cost-efficient technology for future Internet by decoupling the traditional network functions from dedicated hardware and running them as software-based virtualized instances, known as Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). To effectively support the emerging NFV technology, how to orchestrate VNFs and achieve improved Quality-of-Service (QoS) has become a timely burning challenge faced by the networking research community. This project aims to develop a new suite of optimal VNF orchestration schemes to boost the network performance and enhance the QoS. To this end, I will firstly design innovative Service Function Chains (SFCs) that are built from a set of chain-ordered VNFs in a parallel pattern to accelerate the network performance. Secondly, I will develop an optimal QoS-aware VNF placement approach to map the parallel SFCs into the underlying network infrastructure, which considers the important QoS metrics as a multi-objective optimization problem. Finally, I will establish a software package with two components for SFC parallelism and VNF placement and develop an experimental testbed to evaluate the proposed solutions. The scientific breakthroughs to be made in this project will contribute to provide the effective design and solution implementation of NFV network innovations. The originality of this research lies in its advocate of designing a parallel SFC paradigm and the optimization of VNF placement to satisfy the QoS requirements of ever-increasing network services. Furthermore, a series of research, training, and knowledge transfer activities will be conducted to accomplish the scientific objectives and enable me to receive professional training, broaden an interdisciplinary research background, and gain more experiences in project management and collaborations.
A WFC3 GRISM EMISSION LINE REDSHIFT CATALOG IN THE GOODS-SOUTH FIELD

We combine HST/WFC3 imaging and G141 grism observations from the CANDELS and 3D-HST surveys to produce a catalog of grism spectroscopic redshifts for galaxies in the CANDELS/GOODS-South field. The WFC3/G141 grism spectra cover a wavelength range of 1.1<lambda<1.7 microns with a resolving power of R~130 for point sources, thus providing rest-frame optical spectra for galaxies out to z~3.5. The catalog is selected in the H-band (F160W) and includes both galaxies with and without previously published spectroscopic redshifts. Grism spectra are extracted for all H-band detected galaxies with H<24 and a CANDELS photometric redshift z_phot > 0.6. The resulting spectra are visually inspected to identify emission lines and redshifts are determined using cross-correlation with empirical spectral templates. To establish the accuracy of our redshifts, we compare our results against high-quality spectroscopic redshifts from the literature. Using a sample of 411 control galaxies, this analysis yields a precision of sigma_NMAD=0.0028 for the grism-derived redshifts, which is consistent with the accuracy reported by the 3D-HST team. Our final catalog covers an area of 153 square arcmin and contains 1019 redshifts for galaxies in GOODS-S. Roughly 60% (608/1019) of these redshifts are for galaxies with no previously published spectroscopic redshift. These new redshifts span a range of 0.677 < z < 3.456 and have a median redshift of z=1.282. The catalog contains a total of 234 new redshifts for galaxies at z>1.5. In addition, we present 20 galaxy pair candidates identified for the first time using the grism redshifts in our catalog, including four new galaxy pairs at z~2, nearly doubling the number of such pairs previously identified.
Hypocholesterolemic effect of compounded freshwater clam protein hydrolysate and Gracilaria

Abstract The muscles of freshwater clam and whole Gracilaria powder (WG) were separately extracted using hot water. The residual meat was first freeze-dried, then hydrolysed at 50 °C by Protamex to obtain freshwater clam hydrolysate (PX5). The WG was separated into two fractions, designated as soluble (SDF) and insoluble dietary fibre (IDF). The in vitro bile acid-binding capacities and inhibition of micellar solubility of cholesterol were then investigated using the compounded PX5 and dietary fibre of WG or IDF. Assuming that bile acid binds to cholestyramine at 100%, the relative bile acid-bindings of PX5 and WG were 35.9% and 41.1%, respectively. Bile acid-binding of compounded PX5 and WG showed the best synergistic effect at a ratio of 1:3 (w/w) and relative bile acid-binding of 45.7%, significantly higher than PX5 and WG alone. After peptic digestion, the resulting inhibitions against cholesterol micelle formation in cholestyramine, PX5, WG and IDF were 97.6%, 18.5%, 30.8% and 49.3%, respectively.
Era chair position for excellent research in oncology

The Biomedical Center of the Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen, which has recently been established at the Charles University with support of the European Fund for Regional Development, represents a high-grade regional research infrastructure in the fundamental field of cancer biology and oncology. However, despite its advanced research and innovation performance, the potential of the Center is still not fully exploited, dominantly due to its unsatisfactory attractiveness to top-class researchers, concerning both established experts as well as promising young scientists and PhD students. This represents a major structural weakness of the Center. To directly address this issue, we propose the Chaperon action with the main goal to recruit a world class researcher and research manager to 1) establish and lead new Laboratory of Translational Cancer Genomics filling a thematic gap in the structure of the Center; 2) become the head of Research Programme 2 of the Center, thus strongly boosting its excellence; and 3) take a position in several institutional advisory and supervisory bodies in order to moderate the transformation of human resource policies and managerial processes at the Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen and Charles University on their way to excellence. Attracting high-quality human resources and assuring their sustainability by bringing the institution in close compliance with the ERA priorities and the Regional Smart Specialisation Strategy, the project will substantially increase the research and innovation (R&I) performance of the Center, provide crucial international networking opportunities with respect to all key stakeholders and increase the competitiveness of the institution in obtaining international funding such as ERC. By achieving these goals, the Chaperon ERA Chairs project will help diminish the inequalities in R&I performance within the ERA.
LAB.NET PLUS- RETE TRANSFRONTALIERA PER LA VALORIZZAZIONE DEI PAESAGGI E DELLE IDENTITÀ LOCALI

The recent growth of interest in landscape and environmental systems and the historical centers, suggellatio at European level of the conclusion of the European Landscape Convention and adopted by the regions through the development of the Landscape Plan, created policies and interventions that need more consistency compared to local needs and local communities in order to reduce impacts associated with invasive and landscape features.
The difficulty of integrating actions that affect the development of the territory (which refer to tourism, agriculture, construction) and to enable effective forms of governance, involving local actors, resulting largely from the absence of a specific culture in this area and a proper reading and interpretation of the territories and their natural and cultural heritage.
However, the wealth of studies, projects and research in the maritime territories, although at present not yet systematized, allows to start from a solid base of knowledge to build effective tools for the government of the processes of territorial transformation and for the enhancement landscape resources.
From here the objective is to develop cooperation and encourage networking of territories for the promotion and enhancement of local cultures specifically geared to deepening the theme relating to the enhancement of the landscape.
The actions envisaged concern the development of initiatives which over time can be further nurtured and updated by extending the horizon of their efficacy beyond the implementation phase of the project. More specifically:
• structured laboratories and local collaborative networks that can buds of other supra-or consolidate existing relationships;
• finding the platform, which collects and orders studies, plans, projects, best practices, can be further enriched and become an instrument of support to governments for planning and management of operations in the territory;
• guidelines for the definition of joint actions are the basis for updating and enhancing the planning acts locally.
In addition, joint projects and participatory local development and educational sites, conducted with the support of local authorities involved, and appropriate dissemination and communication, will enable the recovery and enhancement of local culture, threatened by the greater impact of globalizing processes .
The recipients of the project actions will be administrators, local engineers, designers specialize in the landscape and built heritage in the recovery of historical actors in the field of cultural heritage management (artisans, masons, builders, equipment manufacturers), teachers and students, and the inhabitants of the territories involved.
DUAL WELL, DUAL PUMP PRODUCTION

Methods and systems for producing hydrocarbons. An example method includes producing a non-hydrocarbon liquid from a first horizontal wellbore, the first horizontal wellbore extending from a vertical wellbore and through a hydrocarbon producing formation. The method further includes pumping the non-hydrocarbon liquid with a first pump into a second horizontal wellbore, the second horizontal wellbore extending from the vertical wellbore and disposed downhole and underneath the first horizontal wellbore. The method additionally includes pumping a hydrocarbon liquid uphole to a surface with a second pump disposed downhole of the first horizontal wellbore.
Economic Analysis of Hybrid Rice Performance in Arkansas

Despite the rapid producer adoption of hybrid rice (Oryza sativa L.) in recent years, the economic advantage of hybrid rice in the mid-southern United States remains disputed. This study compared the economic risk and return of three popularly sown hybrid rice cultivars: XL723, Clearfield (CL) XL729, and CL XL745; and eight conventional rice cultivars: Cheniere, CL 142-AR, CL 151, Francis, Roy J, Taggart, Templeton, and Wells, using University of Arkansas experimental test plot data from 2006 to 2010. Paddy and milling yield data on each cultivar were used to estimate a Just–Pope production function, allowing comparison of mean yields and mean yield variances across cultivars. A Monte Carlo simulation was used to compare net returns and net return variance (risk) across hybrid and conventional cultivars. Just–Pope estimation results indicated that hybrid cultivars exhibited mean paddy yield premiums of 1.6 to 2.4 Mg ha–1 relative to the best-performing conventional cultivar (Francis); furthermore, the hybrid yield advantage was not associated with increased yield risk. Among hybrid-CL and conventional-CL cultivars, hybrid milling quality was not statistically different. Among non-CL cultivars, the hybrid XL723 exhibited a mean head rice yield premium relative to conventional alternatives. Monte Carlo simulation results suggested that the net revenue advantage of hybrid cultivars makes them preferable to conventional alternatives in the CL and non-CL categories across the entire range of producer risk preferences considered in this study.
The Invention of New Love in Psychoanalysis

The article discusses the relation between psychoanalysis and philosophy from the perspective of love. But psychoanalysis demonstrates that this love is possible only based on a return to the origins of psychoanalysis where a new modality, or a new image of love is invented in connection with transference. As in philosophical love for knowledge, transference love presupposes a “ready made” operative knowledge which serves the analyst in the interpretation of a double supposition: besides knowledge, it also presupposes its subject: the subject supposed to know. The problematic of transference love is then linked to Lacan's final elaborations of the unconscious in relation to the real. The passage from transference unconscious to the real unconscious abolishes the love for knowledge, but the inverse movement provides ground for a “new love” to emerge, love as invention. The two modalities of love are discussed in connection with Lacan's formulas of sexuation and with the question of the inexistence of the sexual relation.
Bottom aquarium filter

A bottom aquarium filter for an aquarium tank which includes a container having an inlet compartment which can receive contaminated water from the tank, and a filtration compartment which converts the contaminated water into decontaminated water. The filtration compartment contains a mass of filtering material with a restraining plate positioned in the filtration compartment to restrain the filtering material within one section thereof while maintaining another section substantially free of such filtration material, thereby providing a flow chamber which couples the inlet compartment to the section containing the filtering material. An air diffuser, attached by tubing to an air compressor located outside the aquarium tank, provides a stream of air bubbles to lift water from the decontaminated water compartment through an air lift tube. In this manner, contaminated water from the tank enters into the inlet compartment and from there passes through the flow chamber into the section containing the filtering material where the contaminated water is substantially decontaminated. The water then leaves together with the air through an outlet in the air lift tube and back into the tank. The flow chamber is also provided with inlets for receiving contaminated water from the aquarium tank. The bottom wall of the filter is provided with a weighted member to prevent the filter from floating up from the bottom of the tank.
Tethers for sensory mechanotransduction: from molecules to perception

Touch sensation is built upon the ability of sensory neurons to detect and transduce nanometer scale mechanical displacements. The underlying process has been termed mechanotransduction: the high sensitivity and speed of which is enabled by direct gating (opening) of ion channels by mechanical force. Force detection is functionally compartmentalized and only takes place at the peripheral endings of sensory neurons in vivo. Two molecules are known to be genetically necessary for touch in many sensory neurons, the force gated ion channel PIEZO2 and its modulator STOML3. However, mechanotransduction complexes  in all touch receptors absolutely require tethering to the extracellular matrix for function. Tethering is dependent on large extracellular proteins that are sensitive to site-specific proteases. Here we will not only identify the nature of these tethers, but will develop technology to acutely and reversibly abolish tethers and other mechanotransducer components. We will use genome engineering to tag tether and mechanotranduction components in order to visualize and manipulate these proteins at their in vivo sites of action. By engineering de novo cleavage sites for site-specific proteases we will render tethers and ion channels newly sensitive to normally ineffective proteases in the skin. We will engineer mutations into candidate ion channels that dramatically alter biophysical properties to physiologcally “mark” function in vivo. Finally we will develop new behavioural paradigms in mice that allow us to measure touch perception from the forepaw. Psychometric curves for different vibrotactile tasks can then be precisely compared between humans and mice. Furthermore, the impact of acute and reversible manipulation of mechanotransduction on touch perception can be measured. Understanding how molecules assemble to function in a mechanotransduction complex in the skin will open up avenues to develop therapeutic strategies to modulate touch.
