Subcellular curvature at the perimeter of micropatterned cells influences lamellipodial distribution and cell polarity
Authors: James Jane , Goluch Edgar D. , Hu Huan , Liu Chang , Mrksich Milan
Published: August 2008

This paper employs substrates that are patterned with shapes having well‐defined geometric cues to characterize the influence of curvature on the polarization of highly metastatic B16F10 rat melanoma cells. Substrates were patterned using microcontact printing to define adhesive islands of defined shape and size on a background that otherwise prevents cell adhesion. Cells adherent to these surfaces responded to local curvature at the perimeter of the adhesive islands; convex features promoted the assembly of lamellipodia and concave features promoted the assembly of stress filaments. Cells adherent to rectangular shapes displayed a polarized cytoskeleton that increased with the aspect ratio of the shapes. Shapes that combined local geometric cues, by way of concave or convex edges, with aspect ratio were used to understand the additive effects of shape on polarization. The dependence of cell polarity on shape was determined in the presence of small molecules that alter actomyosin contractility and revealed a stronger dependence on contractility for shapes having straight edges, in contrast to those having curved edges. This study demonstrates that the cytoskeleton modulates cell polarity in response to multiple geometric cues in the extracellular environment. Cell Motil. Cytoskeleton 2008. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
In vivo multispectral, multiparameter, photoacoustic lymph flow cytometry with natural cell focusing, label‐free detection and multicolor nanoparticle probes
Authors: Galanzha Ekaterina I. , Shashkov Evgeny V. , Tuchin Valery V. , Zharov Vladimir P.
Published: August 2008

Compared with blood tests, cell assessment in lymphatics is not well‐established. The goal of this work was to develop in vivo lymph tests using the principles of flow cytometry. Cells in living animals were counted by laser (420–2,300 nm) generation of photoacoustic (PA) signals in individual cells hydrodynamically focused by lymph valves into a single file flow, and using endogenous absorption as intrinsic cell‐specific markers, or gold nanorods, nanoshells, and carbon nanotubes as multicolor probes. PA data were verified by high‐speed transmission, photothermal, and fluorescent imaging. Counting of melanoma and immune‐related cells in normal, apoptotic, and necrotic states in lymphatics in vivo was demonstrated to have the unprecedented sensitivity as one metastatic cell among millions of white blood cells. The time‐resolved PA spectral identification of flowing cells was achieved using multicolor labels and laser pulses of different wavelengths and time delays. Multiparameter, noninvasive, portable flow cytometer can be used for preclinical studies on animals with the potential of translation to humans for in vivo PA mapping of colorless lymph vessels and sentinel nodes with simultaneous single cell detection and metastasis assessment without labeling or use of contrast dyes and/or novel low‐toxic multicolor probes with different absorption spectra. © 2008 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry
What we know and what we should know about virgin oils – a general introduction
Authors: Matthäus Bertrand , Spener Friedrich
Published: August 2008

On international scale the Codex Alimentarius Standard for Named Vegetable Oils differentiates between virgin oils and cold‐pressed oils, while in Germany virgin, non‐refined and refined oils are available. Here cold‐pressed is an additional quality feature. The paper explains and comments the various definitions for vegetable oils other than olive oil obtained by mechanical extraction only, because they are partly contradictory.

Resulting from gentle processing virgin oils are often appreciated by the consumers as the better oils. The answer of the present paper to the question which type of oil is better is that there is no better or worse oil, but only a better or worse suitability of an oil for application in food processing or the kitchen.

Finally, the paper picks up the upcoming debate on the potential ’︁new' contaminant, 3‐MCPD‐fatty acid esters, which were found in refined oils.
Neural networks involved in artistic creativity
Authors: Kowatari Yasuyuki , Lee Seung Hee , Yamamura Hiromi , Nagamori Yusuke , Levy Pierre , Yamane Shigeru , Yamamoto Miyuki
Published: August 2008

Creativity has been proposed to be either the result of solely right hemisphere processes or of interhemispheric interactions. Little information is available, however, concerning the neuronal foundations of creativity. In this study, we introduced a new artistic task, designing a new tool (a pen), which let us quantitatively evaluate creativity by three indices of originality. These scores were analyzed in combination with brain activities measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The results were compared between subjects who had been formally trained in design (experts) and novice subjects. In the experts, creativity was quantitatively correlated with the degree of dominance of the right prefrontal cortex over that of the left, but not with that of the right or left prefrontal cortex alone. In contrast, in novice subjects, only a negative correlation with creativity was observed in the bilateral inferior parietal cortex. We introduced structure equation modeling to analyze the interactions among these four brain areas and originality indices. The results predicted that training exerts a direct effect on the left parietal cortex. Additionally, as a result of the indirect effects, the activity of the right prefrontal cortex was facilitated, and the left prefrontal and right parietal cortices were suppressed. Our results supported the hypothesis that training increases creativity via reorganized intercortical interactions. Human Brain Mapp 2009. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Comparing welfare estimates from payment card contingent valuation and discrete choice experiments
Authors: Ryan Mandy , Watson Verity
Published: August 2008

This study presents the first comparison of willingness to pay estimates derived from the payment card (PC) contingent valuation and discrete choice experiment (DCE) methods. A within‐sample experiment was used to elicit women's preferences for Chlamydia screening. The willingness to pay estimate derived from the DCE was larger than that derived from the PC. To investigate why the willingness to pay estimates were different, a range of validity tests were conducted. Both methods produced theoretically valid results, and there was no difference in the reported difficulty of completing the tasks. Evidence of a prominence effect was found in the PC responses. Responses to the DCE satisfied tests of non‐satiation. Responses to both methods were compared with revealed preference data. There were significant differences between stated screening intention in both methods and actual screening uptake. Future work should address the external validity of stated preference methods.

Ultrastructure of the eggshell and its formation in Planipapillus mundus (Onychophora: Peripatopsidae)
Authors: Norman Jennifer M. , Tait Noel N.
Published: August 2008

Although the majority of onychophorans are viviparous or ovoviviparous, oviparity has been described in a number of species found exclusively in Australia and New Zealand. Light microscopy and scanning and transmission electron microscopy were used to examine developing eggs and the reproductive tract of the oviparous Planipapillus mundus. Deposited eggs and fully developed eggs dissected from the terminal end of the uteri have an outer thick, slightly opaque chorion, and an inner thin, transparent vitelline membrane. The chorion comprises an outermost extrachorion, sculptured with domes equally spaced over the surface; a middle exochorion, with pores occurring in a pattern of distribution equivalent to that of the domes of the extrachorion above; and an innermost, thick endochorion consisting of a spongelike reticulum of cavities comparable to the respiratory network found in insect eggs. The vitelline membrane lies beneath the chorion, from which it is separated by a fluid‐filled space. The vitelline membrane tightly invests the developing egg. Examination of oocytes in the ovary and developing eggs at various stages of passage through the uterus indicate that the majority of chorion deposition occurs in the midregion of the uterus, where vast networks of endoplasmic reticulum are present in the columnar epithelium. The vitelline membrane, however, is believed to begin its development as a primary egg membrane, surrounding the developing oocytes in the ovary. The vitelline membrane is transformed after fertilization, presumably by secretions from the anterior region of the uterus; hence, it should be more accurately referred to as a fertilization membrane. Aspects of the reproductive biology of P. mundus are also included. J. Morphol., 2008. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Cover: The cover picture describes the behavior of novel biodegradable poly(propylene alkanedicarboxylate)s. The biodegradation of aliphatic polyesters is strongly dependent on the chemical structure, crystallinity, melting point, and the glass transition temperature. For the investigated polyesters the crystallinity increased with increasing the number of the methylene groups in the parent diacid. Faster enzymatic hydrolysis rates were found for poly(propylene suberate). Further details can be found in the article by D. N. Bikiaris,* G. Z. Papageorgiou, D. J. Giliopoulos, and C. A.

Breaking bad news to cancer patients: survey and analysis
Authors: Spiegel Wolfgang , Zidek Thomas , Maier Manfred , Vutuc Christian , Isak Karin , Karlic Heidrun , Micksche Michael
Published: August 2008

Purpose: To find out how patients perceived the disclosure of news about their cancer as regards the physician counselling and how they perceived the flow of information between hospital‐based and family physicians.

Methods: 272 cancer patients were polled with a 16‐item questionnaire.

Results: 252 cancer patients, 92.6% of those asked, completed the questionnaire. 37.7% (f:35.4%, m:41.8%) stated that the fact that they had cancer was presented to them ‘very empathically’ or ‘empathically’. 62.3% (f:64.7%, m:58.3%) stated that it was presented to them ‘not so empathically’ or ‘ not at all empathically’. When patients had been counselled by family physicians they were more likely to state that it had been done ‘very empathically’ or ‘empathically’, in contrast to when they had been counselled by hospital‐oncologists or self‐employed specialists (81.8% vs. 41.2% vs. 41.2%; p=0.001). Significantly more patients thought that they had been given adequate opportunity to ask the questions they considered important when counselled by a family physician (81.8%) as compared to counselling by a hospital‐oncologist (43.5%; p=0.002) or a self‐employed specialist (44.3%; p=0.001). 56.8% preferred to discuss the suggested cancer therapies with an oncologist. 87.5% of patients considered the exchange of information between the hospital‐based specialists and their family physician ‘very important’ or ‘important’; more than half of all patients stated that this exchange of information was ‘rather poor’ or ‘poor’.

Conclusions: Oncologists should involve family physicians in disclosing bad news to patients. There are considerable deficiencies regarding information–exchange in cancer care in Austria. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Patient–physician communication during oncology consultations

Published: August 2008

Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize the content of patient‐physician communication in standard oncology care.

Methods: The sample consisted of 19 patients with gastrointestinal cancer. The consultations were audio‐recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed according to qualitative content analysis.

Results: The analysis resulted in seven main categories: Disease and treatment, Healthcare planning, Everyday living, Psychological well‐being, Coping with disease, Expressions of concerns and feelings, and Other aspects of communication. The main focus during the consultations was on disease and treatment. Physicians tended to concentrate on response to treatment and types and severity of side effects and how to treat them. More patient‐centered subjects of psychosocial character like coping and psychological well‐being were discussed only briefly, if at all.

Conclusions: This study adds to the information given by the existing communication analysis systems, and hence we suggest a development of the psychosocial content categories of those systems to make them more valid. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Lectures on attractors and black holes
Authors: Ferrara S. , Hayakawa K. , Marrani A.
Published: August 2008

A basic survey on some aspects of four‐dimensional black holes (BHs) is given in these lectures. It covers thermodynamical properties as well as the Attractor Mechanism for extremal BHs in an environment of scalar field background. Some relevant formulæ for the critical points of the BH “effective potential” are discussed, and the simplest example uncovering the attractor behavior, the Maxwell‐Einstein‐dilaton supergravity, is analyzed in detail. Observations on similarities between BH entropy (as given by the Bekenstein‐Hawking entropy‐area formula) and multipartite entanglement of qubits in quantum information theory are reported, as well. Finally, among the latest developments, the moduli space of attractor points for 𝒩 ≥ 2 supergravities is also considered. Based on lectures given by S.

Evaluation of role of angiotensin III and aminopeptidases in prostate cancer cells
Authors: Teranishi Jun‐ichi , Ishiguro Hitoshi , Hoshino Koji , Noguchi Kazumi , Kubota Yoshinobu , Uemura Hiroji
Published: August 2008

BACKGROUND

The aim of this study was to perform a comprehensive evaluation of angiotensin III (Ang‐III) and related converting enzymes, aminopeptidase A (APA) and N (APN), in prostate cancer.

METHODS

We investigated the effects of Ang‐III on the in vitro growth of human prostate cancer cells and the expression of APA and APN in cells treated with Ang‐III or hormonal agents. Furthermore, we performed real‐time quantitative PCR to investigate the expression pattern of APA and APN in 86 prostate tissue samples including normal prostate, untreated and hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC).

RESULTS

Ang‐III stimulated cell proliferation, and the proliferative effect was inhibited by olmesartan, an AT1 receptor blocker (ARB). Western blot analysis showed that phosphorylation of mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) was enhanced by Ang‐III and inhibited by olmesartan. APN mRNA level in HRPC was significantly lower than that in normal prostate and untreated prostate cancer tissue. In LNCaP cells, APN expression was augmented by Ang‐III, whereas APA expression was not modulated. Hormonal agents, such as estradiol (E2) and dexamethasone (Dex), enhanced APA expression, but did not modulate APN expression in LNCaP cells.

CONCLUSIONS

Our results suggest that Ang‐III and related converting enzymes contribute to cell proliferation of prostate cancer, and may be implicated in cancer progression. Prostate 68: 1666–1673, 2008. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Reliability of transvaginal ultrasonography at 7–9 weeks' gestation in the determination of chorionicity and amnionicity in twin pregnancies
Authors: Bora S. A. , Papageorghiou A. T. , Bottomley C. , Kirk E. , Bourne T.
Published: August 2008

Objectives

To assess the agreement in the diagnosis of chorionicity and amnionicity between transvaginal ultrasound examination at 7–9 weeks' gestation and at the 11–14‐week transabdominal scan.

Methods

This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of twin pregnancies over a 3‐year period. Chorionicity and amnionicity were assessed in women with viable twin pregnancies who underwent a transvaginal ultrasound scan at between 7 and 9 weeks' gestation. These findings were compared with the diagnoses of chorionicity and amnionicity at the subsequent 11–14‐week scan in these women.

Results

Chorionicity and amnionicity were documented in 67 viable twin pregnancies at both 7–9 and 11–14 weeks' gestation. There was agreement in the chorionicity and amnionicity reported at each of the two scans in 65 out of 67 (97%) cases. Of the dichorionic–diamniotic (DCDA) pregnancies reported at 7–9 weeks, 53 out of 54 (98%) were confirmed at the 11–14‐week scan and one (2%) was found to be monochorionic–diamniotic (MCDA). However, at birth these twins were of different sex, confirming DCDA twins as initially diagnosed at 7–9 weeks. Of the 12 pregnancies diagnosed as MCDA at 7–9 weeks, all were found to be MCDA at the 11–14‐week scan. There was one monochorionic–monoamniotic (MCMA) pregnancy diagnosed at 7–9 weeks that was subsequently found to be MCDA at the 11–14‐week scan.

Conclusion

Transvaginal ultrasound examination at 7–9 weeks' gestation shows very high agreement with the 11–14‐week scan in the diagnosis of chorionicity and amnionicity in twin pregnancies, suggesting that it provides a similar level of accuracy. Accuracy may be higher for DC twins than MC twins, which may relate to the gestational age at which the sonographic appearance of the amniotic sac develops. Copyright © 2008 ISUOG.

Clinical and radiological midterm results from using the Fixion expandable intramedullary nail in transverse and short oblique fractures of femur and tibia
Authors: Zoccali Carmine , Di Francesco Alexander , Ranalletta Alessandro , Flamini Stefano
Published: August 2008

Background

A locked nail is the principal method used to eliminate rotatory components in femoral and tibial fractures. Nevertheless, weight bearing is not directed onto the fracture site, slowing down the healing process; another possibility is to use a large-diameter nail and ream the canal to obtain as much adherence as possible and increase the grip, but this can cause a number of complications. The expandable nail is a new option that in theory should remove some problems with previous techniques.

Materials and methods

This was a retrospective nonrandomized study encompassing 21 femoral fractures and 27 tibial fractures in 45 patients. They were classified according to the AO classification. Clinical and radiological checks were done at one, three, and six months and at one year from the surgery in order to check for signs of clinical and radiological healing. A good alignment was considered to be the presence of a deformity of less than 5° in the sagittal and lateral planes and the absence of rotatory clinically evident problems. This protocol was adhered to up to six months after surgery by all of the patients, while only 62.2% performed the last control. The mean follow-up was 15 months. A second group of 48 consecutive fractures (24 femural and 24 tibial) treated with locked nail was created to compare surgical times.

Results

Appropriate alignment was observed in all cases; the healing process appeared slower: radiological healing occurred in most cases at six months. The following complications were reported: a case of intraoperative fracture widening with no effect on the treatment; a case of a lesion of the tip of the nail with pneumatic system rupture that necessitated nail substitution; two cases of retarded consolidation at six months, with both tibial fractures treated successfully by intralesion platelet gel; a case of incarcerated nail on 17 removals, resolved by shearing. We had no cases of clinically evident compartment syndrome or pulmonary embolism.

Conclusions

The expandable Fixion nail presents significant advantages in the treatment of transverse and short oblique fractures of femur and tibia because it is easy to use, involves minimal X-ray exposure and can control rotations. Nevertheless, it high cost limits its use. We consider it as an alternative to locked nail.
