Preparative enantiomeric separation of new aromatase inhibitors by HPLC on polysaccharide‐based chiral stationary phases: Determination of enantiomeric purity and assignment of absolute stereochemistry by X‐ray structure analysis
Authors: Danel Cecile , Foulon Catherine , Guelzim Abdelhalim , Park Chang Ha , Bonte Jean‐Paul , Vaccher Claude
Published: September 2005

The development of high‐performance liquid chromatography methods on polysaccharide‐based stationary phases (cellulose or amylose derivatives) has permitted preparative enantioseparations of various 6‐[1(imidazol‐1‐yl)‐1‐phenylmethyl]‐3‐methyl‐1,3‐benzoxazol‐2(3H)‐one and 6‐[1(imidazol‐1‐yl)‐1‐phenylmethyl]‐3‐methyl‐1,3‐benzothiazol‐2(3H)‐one, aromatase inhibitors, with satisfactory yields. Analytical enantioseparation methods using both UV and evaporative light‐scattering detection (ELSD) were validated to determine the enantiomeric purity of these compounds. Using UV detection, linear calibration curves in the range from 4 × 10−6 to 4.8 × 10−4 M range were obtained; repeatability, limits of detection (LD), and quantification (LQ) were determined: LD varied, for the various solutes, from 1 to 80 μg/l and from 2.05 to 10.05 mg/l with UV detection and ELSD, respectively. Single‐crystal X‐ray analysis was successful in determining the absolute configuration of the individual enantiomers. The relationship between retention order and absolute configuration of the enantiomers was established. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. Chirality 17:600–607, 2005.
Xnr2 and Xnr5 unprocessed proteins inhibit Wnt signaling upstream of dishevelled
Authors: Onuma Yasuko , Takahashi Shuji , Haramoto Yoshikazu , Tanegashima Kousuke , Yokota Chika , Whitman Malcolm , Asashima Makoto
Published: September 2005

Nodal and Nodal‐related proteins activate the Activin‐like signal pathway and play a key role in the formation of mesoderm and endoderm in vertebrate development. Recent studies have shown additional activities of Nodal‐related proteins apart from the canonical Activin‐like signal pathway. Here we report a novel function of Nodal‐related proteins using cleavage mutants of Xenopus nodal‐related genes (cmXnr2 and cmXnr5), which are known to be dominant‐negative inhibitors of nodal family signaling. cmXnr2 and cmXnr5 inhibited both BMP signaling and Wnt signaling without activating the Activin‐like signal in animal cap assays. Pro region construct of Xnr2 and Xnr5 did not inhibit Xwnt8, and pro/mature region chimera mutant cmActivin‐Xnr2 and cmActivin‐Xnr5 also did not inhibit Xwnt8 activity. These results indicate that the pro domains of Xnr2 and Xnr5 are necessary, but not sufficient, for Wnt inhibition, by Xnr family proteins. In addition, Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry analysis revealed that the unprocessed Xnr5 protein is stably produced and secreted as effectively as mature Xnr5 protein, and that the unprocessed Xnr5 protein diffused in the extracellular space. These results suggest that unprocessed Xnr2 and Xnr5 proteins may be involved in inhibiting both BMP and Wnt signaling and are able to be secreted to act on somewhat distant target cells, if these are highly produced.

PTEN is a tumor suppressor gene associated with multiple tumor types. PTEN function is essential for early embryonic development and is involved in the regulation of cell size, number, and survival. By dephosphorylating PIP3, PTEN normally acts to inhibit the PI3‐Kinase/AKT pathway. Here we have identified two zebrafish orthologs, ptena and ptenb, of the single mammalian PTEN gene and analyzed the role of these genes in zebrafish development. Ptena transcripts were expressed throughout the embryo at early somitogenesis. By 24 hpf, expression was predominant in the central nervous system, axial vasculature, retina, branchial arches, ear, lateral line primordium, and pectoral fin bud. Ptenb was also ubiquitously expressed early in somitogenesis, but transcripts became more restricted to the somites and central nervous system as development progressed. By 48 hpf, ptena and ptenb were expressed predominantly in the central nervous system, branchial arches, pectoral fins, and eye. Antisense morpholinos were used to knock down translation of ptena and ptenb mRNA in zebrafish embryos. Knockdown of either pten gene caused increased levels of phosphorylated Akt in morphant embryos, indicating that Ptena and Ptenb each possess PIP3 lipid phosphatase activity. Ptena morphants had irregularities in notochord shape (73%), vasculogenesis (83%), head shape (72%), and inner ear development (59%). The most noticeable defects in ptenb morphants were upward hooked tails (73%), domed heads (83%), and reduced yolk extensions (90%). These results indicate that ptena and ptenb encode functional enzymes and that each pten gene plays a distinct role during zebrafish embryogenesis.

Identification of a novel gene involved in asexual organogenesis in the budding ascidian Botryllus schlosseri
Authors: Laird Diana J. , Chang Wen‐Teh , Weissman Irving L. , Lauzon Robert J.
Published: September 2005

Development via regeneration or budding shares some known genetic pathways with embryogenesis, but no concerted effort has been made to identify genes unique to asexual development. We have identified a novel gene that plays a role in cyclical bud formation and asexual organogenesis in the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri. Athena mRNA is transcribed at high levels during the 24‐ to 36‐hr interval of programmed cell death and new bud initiation at the conclusion of the budding cycle (takeover). Knockdown of Athena by RNAi and antisense morpholinos induced defects in the development of new buds ranging from retardation in growth and abnormal organogenesis to hollow buds lacking organs. As genetic intervention in this organism has not been possible, this study establishes the use of RNAi and morpholinos in Botryllus as well as describing the knockdown phenotype of a new gene.

Using the TPS method for determining the thermal properties of concrete and wood at elevated temperature
Authors: Adl‐Zarrabi Bijan , Boström Lars , Wickström Ulf
Published: September 2005

The transient plane source (TPS) method is shown to be very promising for determining thermal properties of materials at room temperature as well as temperatures up to 700°C. To investigate the applicability of the method it has been used in the study for determining thermal properties of wood (spruce) and concrete. Conductivity (λ) and diffusivity (α) were determined simultaneously.

The thermal properties thus obtained have been compared with some values found in literature. The paper also presents results where calculations using properties obtained with the TPS method are compared with fire test measurements. The results are very encouraging.

Time‐dependent flow across a step: the slip with friction boundary condition
Authors: John Volker , Liakos Anastasios
Published: September 2005

The paper studies numerically the slip with friction boundary condition in the time‐dependent incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. Numerical tests on two‐ and three‐dimensional channel flows across a step using this boundary condition on the bottom wall are performed. The influence of the friction parameter on the flow field is studied and the results are explained according to the physics of the flow. Due to the stretching and tilting of vortices, the three‐dimensional results differ in many respects from the two‐dimensional ones. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A simple procedure for simulating surge infiltration using first‐surge infiltrometer data
Authors: Mahmood Sajid , Latif Muhammad
Published: September 2005

The objective of this study was to modify a ring infiltrometer and to develop a simple and generic technique for simulating cumulative infiltration under constant on‐time surge cycles. A ring infiltrometer was modified by connecting a pipe arm for inward and outward water flow to the ring and from the ring to the pipe to create on–off surge cycles respectively. The Kostiakov infiltration equation was modified by introducing“surge factors” to simulate infiltration data for subsequent surges, using first surge infiltrometer data. The modified form of the Kostiakov equation is called the, “Azeemi–Kostiakov equation”. The unknown parameters of the Kostiakov equation were determined by applying the two‐point technique. Results of the study revealed that the infiltration data simulated by the Azeemi–Kostiakov equation matched closely with those collected from the surge‐ring infiltrometer. A significant reduction in the cumulative infiltration during different surges was also observed which varies from 61 to 84% for the first surge and from 30 to 61% for the subsequent surges. On an overall basis, the significant advantage of the Azeemi–Kostiakov equation is its application in simulating cumulative infiltration of subsequent surges by successfully using limited infiltrometer data. The validity of the Azeemi–Kostiakov equation outside the conditions of the experiments and for varying on–off surge cycles needs to be verified in order to extend its applicability. If this is done, the prior estimation of infiltration for a desired set of on–off surge cycles through this method would permit planning of surge irrigation studies for efficient water management.

Hydraulic performance evaluation of the Wadi Laba spate irrigation system in Eritrea
Authors: Mehari Abraham , Depeweg Herman , Schultz Bart
Published: September 2005

Spate irrigation is a method of harvesting and managing floodwater, which is unpredictable in timing and volume. In the spate‐irrigated area of 16 000 ha in Eritrea, the farmers have for decades used brushwood and earthen diversion and distribution structures, locally known as Agims and Musghas, to harness and share the floodwater. Although these practices managed to make the systems sustainable for the past 100 years, they failed to fully mitigate the unpredictability of the floodwater and relieve the farmers from poverty. With the aim of improving living conditions, the government decided to modernize the spate irrigation systems. In 1998, the Wadi Laba (2600 ha) was selected as a pilot project, and its major Agims and Musghas were replaced by a concrete headwork and gabions. The main targets were: expanding the annually irrigated area from 1200 to 2600 ha, diverting large floods in a regulated manner so as to increase the probability of irrigating the downstream fields, while preventing erosion and sedimentation and reducing the labour and brushwood needed for operation and maintenance.

Field surveys, discharge measurements, interviews and group discussions were conducted to evaluate the performance of the Wadi Laba system. It was found that in an “excellent” flood season, only 1400 ha was irrigated. Reasons include: the inappropriate design assumptions and approaches in the initial phase of the modernization, the non‐coherence of the modern design with the indigenous water rules and water‐sharing arrangements, the failures of the breaching bund, the sedimentation in the culvert and the incorrect operation and use of the scour sluice. Among the proposed improvements are: strengthening the farmers' organization technically, institutionally and legally, replacing the culvert with a head regulator gate, constructing supplementary offtakes, converting the breaching bund into a low‐crested rock fill spillway. Besides discussing these issues, this paper provides quantitative justification why the floodwater would have to be supplemented with groundwater, if there is to be a real possibility of achieving the set targets.

Influence of fluorescent and opalescent properties of resin composites on the masking effect
Authors: Lee Yong‐Keun , Lu Huan , Powers John M.
Published: September 2005

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of fluorescent properties in the reflectance and transmittance modes and opalescent properties and translucency under ultraviolet (UV)‐included and ‐excluded conditions on the masking effect of commercial resin composites quantitatively. Color and spectral distribution of seven resin composites (14 shades) of 1‐mm thick were measured in the reflectance and transmittance modes under UV‐included and ‐excluded conditions. For the fluorescence evaluation, subtraction spectra by the inclusion and exclusion of the UV component of the illumination in the reflectance and transmittance modes were calculated. Opalescence parameter (ΔO*ab) was calculated as the difference in yellow‐blue (Δb*) and red‐green (Δa*) coordinates between the reflected and transmitted colors under UV‐included and ‐excluded conditions. Under UV‐included and ‐excluded conditions, translucency parameter (TP) was calculated and masking effect was calculated as the color difference between a specimen over a black tile and black tile itself. Fluorescent and opalescent properties varied by the brand and shade of composites and measurement protocols. Masking effect was correlated with TP values when TP values of materials were obviously different. But when TP values were in the similar range, the opalescent property influenced the masking effect of resin composites. The influence of fluorescent property on masking effect was also confirmed, although the degree of correlation was very low. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Bonding of dual‐cured resin cement to zirconia ceramic using phosphate acid ester monomer and zirconate coupler
Authors: Yoshida Keiichi , Tsuo Yukiko , Atsuta Mitsuru
Published: September 2005

This study evaluated the shear bond strength between dual‐cured resin luting cement and pure zirconium (99.9%) and industrially manufactured yttrium‐oxide‐partially‐stabilized zirconia ceramic, and the effect of MDP (10‐methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate) primer (MP) and zirconate coupler (ZC) on bond strength. Two different‐shaped pure zirconium and zirconia ceramic specimens were untreated or treated with various primers, including different concentrations of MP containing phosphoric acid ester monomer (MDP) in ethanol, ZC containing a zirconate coupling agent in ethanol, or a mixture of MP and ZC. The specimens were then cemented together with dual‐cured resin luting cement (Clapearl DC). Half of the specimens were stored in water at 37°C for 24 h and the other half were thermocycled 10,000 times before shear bond strength testing. The bond strengths of resin luting cement to both the zirconium and zirconia ceramic were enhanced by the application of most MPs, ZCs, and the mixtures of MP and ZC. For the group (MP2.0+ZC1.0) containing 2.0 wt % MP and 1.0 wt % ZC, no significant difference was observed between in shear bond strength before and after thermal cycling for both zirconium and zirconia ceramic (p > 0.05). For the other primers, statistically significant differences in shear bond strength before and after thermal cycling were observed (p < 0.05). The application of the mixture of MP and ZC (MP2.0+ZC1.0) was effective for bonding between zirconia ceramic and dual‐cured resin luting cement. This primer may be clinically useful as an adhesive primer for zirconia ceramic restoration. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part B: Appl Biomater, 2006
Interfacial chemistry of moisture‐aged class II composite restorations
Authors: Spencer Paulette , Wang Yong , Bohaty Brenda
Published: September 2005

Under in vivo conditions, the adhesive/dentin bond at the gingival margin of class II composite restorations can be the first defense against substances that may penetrate and ultimately undermine the composite restoration. Deterioration of this bond during aqueous aging is an area of intense investigation, but to date, the majority of our techniques have provided only an indirect assessment of the degrading components. The purpose of this study was to analyze the in situ molecular structure of adhesive/dentin interfaces in class II composite restorations, following aging in aqueous solutions. Class II preparations were cut from 12 unerupted human third molars, with a water‐cooled, high‐speed, dental handpiece. The prepared teeth were randomly selected for restoration with single bond (SB) and Z100 (3M). Teeth were restored, as per the manufacturer's directions, under environmental conditions that simulated humidity and temperature characteristics of the oral cavity. Restored teeth were kept in sterile Delbecco's phosphate saline for 48 h or 90 days. The samples were sectioned occlusogingivally and micro‐Raman spectra were acquired at ∼1.5 μm spatial resolution across the composite/adhesive/dentin interfaces at the gingival margins. Samples were wet throughout spectral acquisition. The relative intensity of bands associated with the adhesive in the interfacial region decreased dramatically after aqueous storage. This decrease in concert with the similar depth of dentin demineralization provides direct spectroscopic evidence of leaching of adhesive monomer from the interface during the 90 days of storage. SB adhesive infiltrated 4–5 μm of 12‐μm demineralized dentin at the gingival margin. After 90 days of aqueous storage, SB adhesive infiltration was reduced to ∼2 μm, leaving ∼10 μm of demineralized dentin collagen exposed at the gingival margin. The unprotected collagen at the gingival margin of the aged class II composite restorations was disorganized, suggesting hydrolysis of the collagen, with 90 days of aqueous storage. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Existence of large sets of coverings with block size 3
Authors: Ji L.
Published: September 2005

Two types of large sets of coverings were introduced by T. Etzion (J Combin Designs, 2(1994), 359–374). What is maximum number (denoted by λ(n,k)) of disjoint optimal (n,k,k − 1) coverings? What is the minimum number (denoted by µ(n,k)) of disjoint optimal (n,k,k − 1) coverings for which the union covers the space? For k = 3, the numbers µ(n,k) have been determined with an unsolved order n = 17, and the numbers λ(n,k) have also been determined with an unsolved infinite class n ≡ 5 (mod 6). The unsolved numbers λ(n,3) and µ(17,3) will be completed in this note. This solution is based on the existence of a class of partitionable candelabra systems. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Predictors of change after long‐term analytic group psychotherapy
Authors: Lorentzen Steinar , Høglend Per
Published: September 2005

In a study of long‐term (mean = 32.5 months) analytic group psychotherapy we explored the relationships among six predictors shown to influence outcome in short‐term group studies and five outcome variables (Global Assessment of Functioning [GAF], Global Symptom Index [GSI], Inventory of Interpersonal Problems—Circumplex [IIP‐C], Global Improvement, and Chief Complaints), assessed after termination of therapy. In this study, we wanted to test whether the same variables also predicted patients' status at follow‐up, 1 year after termination. Bivariate correlations and multiple regression analyses were used. Initial status and treatment duration up to 2.5 years turned out to be strong positive predictors of status at both time points. Contrary to findings from many short‐term studies, presence of personality disorder, high initial severity, chronicity, and less optimistic expectations had no predictive power at either time. Higher age predicted a less favourable status at follow‐up in secondary exploratory analyses. The findings suggest that different patients may benefit from long‐term versus short‐term group psychotherapy. More studies should examine patient aptitude and the significance of the time factor (Aptitude‐Treatment Interaction [ATI‐effects]). © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol 61: 1541–1553, 2005.
