Integration of innovative ice protection systems

This proposal fits within the framework of aircraft effectiveness constant improvement by reducing fuel and power consumptions. Its ultimate goal is to economically remove ice accreting on aircraft structure critical parts and thus increase reliability and mass saving on the global function. By comparison with the present existing solutions which are based on active pneumatic and electro-thermal means the targeted solutions will enable electrical power consumption, cost and mass reductions and ease the overall integration process.
The subject of this proposal is to integrate and test two innovative ice protection systems in aircraft structures. The first system is based on two-phase heat transport and will be tested in a turboprop metallic air intake. The second system is based on electromagnetic induction and will be tested on a wing fixed leading edge and on a flap leading edge.
PP062. Silibinin modulates NF-kB pathway and proinflammatory cytokines production by mononuclear cells of preeclamptic women

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a complication of human pregnancy characterized by hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. In addition to increased activation of monocytes and granulocytes, there is an elevated production of proinflammatory cytokines in pregnant women with PE. The nuclear transcription factor-kB (NF-kB) is present in the cells of the immune system and is responsible for transcription of genes related to inflammation. Whereas the PE is associated with intense inflammatory response, the use of substances modulating the activity of NF-kB factor could be useful in alleviating the inflammation present in these patients. Silibinin is the main component of silymarin, a polyphenolic extract obtained from fruits and seeds of Sylibum marianum with potent hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic activities.The objective of this study was to assess whether silibinin modulates the activity of NF-kB and the production of inflammatory cytokines by mononuclear cells of patients with PE.We evaluated 34 pregnant women with PE, 20 normotensive pregnant women (NT) and 15 non-pregnant women (NP). Mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained from peripheral blood and cultured in the presence or absence of silibinin (50uM) and stimulated with 1ug/mL of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 18h. The supernatant was employed for determination of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 (IL-1β) by enzyme immunoassay. The cells were also cultured for 30min to perform the extraction and determination of the nuclear activity of NF-kB.The results showed increased endogenous activation of NF-kB in PBMC of the PE group compared with the NT and NP groups. We also observed increased production of TNF-α and IL-1β by non-stimulated PBMC in the PE group compared with NT and NP groups. A positive correlation between NF-kB activity and endogenous production of TNF-α (r=0.6509; p=0.0047) or IL-1 b (r=0.5106; p=0.0304) was observed in the PE group. Silibinin showed an anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the spontaneous and LPS-stimulated NF-kB activation as well as the production of inflammatory cytokines in all the groups studied.Patients with PE showed a greater activation of PBMC cells compared with NT women. Silibinin showed modulatory activity on the inflammatory response by downregulation of NF-kB activation as well as TNF-α and IL-10 production.FAPESP 2010/00776-0.
Pedagogy at the brink of the post-anthropocene

AbstractThe significance of educational research is today predicated on its ability to engage with the ecological, economic, and political challenges of the anthropocene, for where we might take seriously education’s commitment to the future necessitates a sustained encounter with the implications and questions raised in the wake of ‘our’ mutated planetary ecology. To repeat in the image of those educational practices, models and patterns of thinking that have contributed to the contemporary ecological crisis of the planet falls gravely short of apprehending what it might entail to live (and die) in the contemporary moment. Yet further, where education is intimate to teleology, it is today clear that the image of the future posited educationally has fallen out of synch with the ‘outside thought’ of ecocatastrophe, or rather, our being ‘thought’ from the inhuman perspective of a planet destined to go on without us. Educationally, this threat poses a quite remarkable opportunity, for where human thought mig...

METHOD FOR PREDICTING ACUTE RENAL AND HEPATIC INSUFFICIENCY

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to surgery, and can be used to predict the development of acute renal-hepatic insufficiency in patients with acute surgical pathology. Essence of the method: in patients with acute surgical abdominal pathology daily, starting from the first day after surgical treatment, in dynamics, the content of molecules of medium mass, creatinine, bilirubin and malonic dialdehyde is determined in venous blood, on the basis of which the index of prognosis for acute renal and hepatic insufficiency (IP ARHI) is calculated according to the formula:where the MSM– content of molecules of medium mass at the current moment, MSM– content of molecules of medium mass at the previous moment, K– content of creatinine at the current time, K– content of creatinine at the previous time, B– content of bilirubin at the current moment, B– content of bilirubin at the previous moment, MDA– content of malonic dialdehyde at the current moment, MDA– content of malonic dialdehyde at the previous moment. Value of the prognostic index of the ARHI less than 3.34 states that there is no probability of developing acute renal and hepatic insufficiency, from 3.35 to 4.19 suggests a low probability of progression of ARHI, from 4.20 or more suggests a high probability of progression of ARHI.EFFECT: invention improves accuracy of predicting ARHI and its adequate assessment of severity by establishing the severity of membrane-destructive phenomena, which allows for timely measures to correct therapy.1 cl, 3 tbl, 2 ex

A european training network to combat  bone pain

In Europe 20 - 30% of adults are affected at any one time by musculoskeletal pain such as arthritic pain, lower back pain, pain from osteoporotic fractures and bone metastasis, and also most rare bone diseases are very painful. Despite a huge negative impact on the quality of life of the patients and on society as a whole, no specific treatment is yet available.  Therefore, there is a strong need to train highly skilled researchers within bone pain and thereby make the foundation for improved therapies. In this proposal we bring together 3 industrial beneficiaries, 8 academic beneficiaries, and one industrial partner all committed to train a new generation of 15 creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early stages researchers in bone pain research and transferable skills. The early stages researchers will train with some of the foremost neuroscientists and bone researchers in academia and industry across Europe. The BonePainII training network will provide the early stage researchers with expertise that will enable them to gain high level employment both in academia and industry. In a multidisciplinary, intersectoral and integrated project we will develop advanced 3D microfluidic in vitro platforms and high throughput techniques to investigate bone-neuron interactions; validate and investigate novel in vivo models of bone pain including a rare bone disease; and using cutting-edge technologies to identify key mechanisms underlying bone pain in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer-induced bone pain.
Origin of Crude Oil and Relation with Hydrocarbon Migration and Accumulation in South Turgai Basin

Great numbers of crude samples in South Turgai basin were analyzed in organic geochemistry.Its oil-gas migration and accumulation features were discussed according to the structural characteristics in this basin.On the basis of their biomarker compounds and carbon isotope,the oils could be divided into Type-A,Type-B and Type-C.According to the differences between their biomarker and maturity,Type-B oil is then sub-divided into two types of B1 and B2.The source rocks in this basin include two kinds of lacustrine and coal-measure ones.Type-A oil comes mainly from lacustrine source rocks of Karagansay formation,Type-B1 oil mainly from lacustrine source rocks of Doshan formation,part of it from Karagansay formation,and Type-B2 oil is mainly from Doshan formation,mixed with some oil generated from source rocks of Aybelin formation of Lower Jurassic.Type-C oil comes from Aybelin formation.The hydrocarbon migration of this basin is in lateral way mainly along sand body,basement unconformity and fault.The great fault communicating the deep source rocks becomes major channel for hydrocarbon migration from the deep to the shallow.Large amounts of oil and gas have been found on both sides of the Karatau strike-slip fault in Aryskum sag,but there are still greater petroleum exploration potentials.

Differences in Recurrence Rate and De Novo Incontinence after Endoscopic Treatment of Vesicourethral Stenosis and Bladder Neck Stenosis

The objective of this study was to compare the recurrence rate and de novo incontinence after endoscopic treatment of vesicourethral stenosis (VUS) after radical prostatectomy (RP) and for bladder neck stenosis (BNS) after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).Retrospective analysis of patients treated endoscopically for VUS after RP or for BNS after TURP at three German tertiary care centers between March 2009 and June 2016. Investigated endpoints were recurrence rate and de novo incontinence. Chi-squared tests and t-tests were used to model the differences between groups.A total of 147 patients underwent endoscopic therapy for VUS (59.2%) or BNS (40.8%). Mean age was 68.3 years (range 44-86), mean follow-up 27.1 months (1-98). Mean time to recurrence after initial therapy was 23.9 months (1-156), mean time to recurrence after prior endoscopic therapy for VUS or BNS was 12.0 months (1-159). Patients treated for VUS underwent significantly more often radiotherapy prior to endoscopic treatment (33.3 vs. 13.3%; p = 0.006) and the recurrence rate was significantly higher (59.8 vs. 41.7%; p = 0.031). The overall success rate of TUR for VUS was 40.2%, success rate of TUR for BNS was 58.3%. TUR for BNS is significantly more successful (p = 0.031). The mean number of TUR for BNS vs. TUR for VUS in successful cases was 1.5 vs. 1.8, which was not significantly different. The rate of de novo incontinence was significantly higher in patients treated for VUS (13.8 vs. 1.7%; p = 0.011). After excluding those patients with radiotherapy prior to endoscopic treatment, the recurrence rate did not differ significantly between both groups (60.3% for VUS vs. 44.2% for BNS; p = 0.091), whereas the rate of de novo incontinence (13.8 for VUS vs. 0% for BNS; p = 0.005) stayed significantly higher in patients treated for VUS.Most patients with BNS are successfully treated endoscopically. In patients with VUS, the success rate is lower. Both stenoses differ with respect to de novo incontinence. Patients must be counseled regarding the increased risk of de novo incontinence after endoscopic treatment of VUS, independent of prior radiotherapy. Longer follow-up is warranted to address long-term outcomes.
STUDY ON DYNAMIC EVOLUTION FEATURES OF GRAVITY FIELD IN SOUTHERN TIANSHAN AREA,XINJIANG

The difference between two adjacent period of mobile gravity value are calculated using mobile gravity measurement data of last 10 times from 2010 to 2013 in Southern Tianshan area,the spatial and temporal dynamic characteristics of gravity field in this area are studied,and the relationship between gravity field variation and seismic activity are discussed. The result shows that the gravity field variation trend presents the characteristics of enhancement in the west and decrease in the east by the boundary of Bachu and Maigaiti area. Extreme value areas of gravity variation appeared mostly in the intersection area of Southern Tianshan and Western Kunlun,and gravity field variation gradient is larger than other area. The gravity field variation gradient is smaller and more stable in the Tarim basin.

Adenosine-induced severe bronchospasm in a patient without pulmonary disease

Adenosine is widely used for the treatment of supraventricular tachycardias for its efficacy and excellent safety, but it has been reported to precipitate severe bronchospasm in patients with pulmonary disease. The drug is therefore contraindicated in asthmatic subjects and should be used with caution in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Nevertheless, true bronchospasm is rare and should be distinguished from the much more common occurrence of dyspnea, only as a symptom and without respiratory compromise, which is benign and transient. We describe the occurrence of severe bronchospasm following adenosine administration for a supraventricular tachycardia in a young male without any history of pulmonary disease. To our knowledge, this is the first time such complication is reported in a subject without lung disease. The patient arrived at the emergency department for palpitations with a regular wide QRS tachycardia with a left bundle-branch block morphology. Sinus carotid massage was unsuccessful, and 2 intravenous adenosine boluses were given without effect. A further 12-mg bolus cardioverted the patient, who became increasingly dyspneic and hypoxic, with diffuse bronchospasm. An urgent chest radiograph had normal results. He was treated with oxygen and inhaled and intravenous steroids, but dyspnea and bronchospasm resolved only after intravenous aminophylline. The arrhythmia recurred and was finally terminated by intravenous flecainide. Although dyspnea after adenosine administration is usually a transient, benign phenomenon, physicians should be alert to the presence of objective signs of respiratory distress, which should prompt immediate treatment, even in subjects without previous history of pulmonary disease.
Redesigning brain circuits in development

In the pre-optogenetics era, molecular genetics defined the concepts of neural circuit development providing mechanistic insights into axon guidance and synapse assembly. However, this approach often revealed limited insights into the function of the circuits studied. Since 2005, optogenetics has revolutionized our approach to functionally dissect brain circuits and has tremendously increased our understanding of how they contribute to specific behaviours. However, how these circuits assemble during development remains mostly unknown. Here, I propose to combine these two approaches: to genetically redesign specific circuits during mouse development in a predictable fashion, and to test the consequences for innate and learned behaviour. This novel line of research follows concepts of synthetic biology, which aims at reconstructing cellular systems, with the intention of redesigning brain circuits to reroute information processing for new behavioural purposes. We aim to demonstrate that targeted mis-expression of connectivity signals can alter specific neural circuits and communications between circuit components along measurable hypotheses. Activation of such an artificial circuit, by either natural stimuli or optogenetics, is likely to produce a set of behavioural outcomes that will reveal general connectivity rules, the capacity for behavioural plasticity, and possible functional redundancies between circuits. Anatomical and physiological dissection of the redesigned circuit will reveal to what extent the incoming afferents instruct the target cells to produce their output responses. Our focus will be on the amygdala, a forebrain structure necessary for processing aversive and rewarding stimuli and orchestrating behavioural responses, and a brain circuit characterized by a high degree of cellular heterogeneity and interconnectivity. Overall, this work will provide important insights into the principles of developmental circuit wiring in the mammalian brain.
