In current healthcare, transitional healthcare is a very important and timely issue. Thanks to the major advances made in medical care and technology, many children with childhood onset diseases and/or genetic syndromes survive to adulthood. These children are at risk of not being provided with adequate healthcare as they reach adulthood. Healthcare transition is an essential part of healthcare provision, referred to as the shift from one type of healthcare to another. In Maastricht, we developed a transition/out clinic led by a medical doctor specialized in persons with intellectual disability (ID), together with a clinical geneticist. We aim to coordinate healthcare issues based on guidelines if available. Also questions concerning living, daily activities, relations, sexuality, and sterilization can be discussed. The aging process of persons with ID has been a topic of interest in recent years. Little is known about the aging process of people with specific syndromes, except for persons with Down syndrome. We present some data of a recent questionnaire study in persons with Prader–Willi syndrome. In only 50% in persons with a clinical diagnosis genetic test results could be reported. The majority of persons were obese. Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, skin problems, sleep apnea, and hormonal problems like osteoporosis and hypothyroidism were common. Psychiatric problems were frequent, especially in the persons with uniparental disomy. Osteoporosis and sleep apnoea seem to be underestimated. Further longitudinal research is necessary for a better understanding of the aging process in PWS. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Radical scavenging capacity of lignin and its effect on processing stabilization of virgin and recycled polypropylene
Authors: Gregorova A. , Košíková B. , Staško A.
Published: July 2007

The radical scavenging capacity of lignin was determined using spectrophotometric method by means of scavenging of the free radical 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) and compared with that of synthetic antioxidant Irganox 1010. Lignin reacted progressively with the DPPH• reaching a steady state in 6 h, showing high antiradical activity with a stochiometry of 5.5 reduced DPPH• molecules. Irganox 1010 showed lower antiradical activity reaching a steady state with DPPH• after 13 h. Moreover, stabilization efficiency of lignin has been investigated in virgin and recycled polypropylene. The stabilization effect of lignin was evaluated by melt volume rate (MVR). The efficiency of lignin as processing stabilizer in both series polypropylene samples was compared with that of synthetic antioxidant Irganox 1010. The presence and behavior of free radicals in the lignin/polypropylene composites formed during processing was determined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). It was observed that used lignin sample could stabilise both virgin and recycled polypropylene. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2007
How is science cited on the Web? A classification of google unique Web citations
Authors: Kousha Kayvan , Thelwall Mike
Published: July 2007

Although the analysis of citations in the scholarly literature is now an established and relatively well understood part of information science, not enough is known about citations that can be found on the Web. In particular, are there new Web types, and if so, are these trivial or potentially useful for studying or evaluating research communication? We sought evidence based upon a sample of 1,577 Web citations of the URLs or titles of research articles in 64 open‐access journals from biology, physics, chemistry, and computing. Only 25% represented intellectual impact, from references of Web documents (23%) and other informal scholarly sources (2%). Many of the Web/URL citations were created for general or subject‐specific navigation (45%) or for self‐publicity (22%). Additional analyses revealed significant disciplinary differences in the types of Google unique Web/URL citations as well as some characteristics of scientific open‐access publishing on the Web. We conclude that the Web provides access to a new and different type of citation information, one that may therefore enable us to measure different aspects of research, and the research process in particular; but to obtain good information, the different types should be separated.

Affibody‐mediated transferrin depletion for proteomics applications
Authors: Grönwall Caroline , Sjöberg Anna , Ramström Margareta , Höidén‐Guthenberg Ingmarie , Hober Sophia , Jonasson Per , Ståhl Stefan
Published: July 2007

An Affibody® (Affibody) ligand with specific binding to human transferrin was selected by phage display technology from a combinatorial protein library based on the staphylococcal protein A (SpA)‐derived Z domain. Strong and selective binding of the selected Affibody ligand to transferrin was demonstrated using biosensor technology and dot blot analysis. Impressive specificity was demonstrated as transferrin was the only protein recovered by affinity chromatography from human plasma. Efficient Affibody‐mediated capture of transferrin, combined with IgG‐ and HSA‐depletion, was demonstrated for human plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). For plasma, 85% of the total transferrin content in the samples was depleted after only two cycles of transferrin removal, and for CSF, 78% efficiency was obtained in single‐step depletion. These results clearly suggest a potential for the development of Affibody‐based resins for the removal of abundant proteins in proteomics analyses.
Future societal issues in industrial biotechnology
Authors: Schuurbiers Daan , Osseweijer Patricia , Kinderlerer Julian
Published: July 2007

Three international stakeholder meetings were organized by the Netherlands‐based “Kluyver Center for Genomics of Industrial Fermentation” with the objective to identify the future societal issues in the field of industrial biotechnology and to develop a coordinated strategy for public dialogue. The meetings resulted in five unanimous recommendations: (i) that science, industry and the European Commission in conjunction with other stakeholders create a comprehensive roadmap towards a bio‐based economy; (ii) that the European Commission initiate a series of round‐table meetings to further articulate the views, interests and responsibilities of the relevant stakeholders and to define policy; (iii) that the development of new innovative communication activities is stimulated to increase public engagement and to discuss the ways that we do or do not want technologies to shape our common future; (iv) that further social studies are undertaken on public attitudes and behaviors to the bio‐based economy and that novel methods are developed to assess public views of future technological developments; and (v) that the concept of sustainability is further operationalized and taken as a core value driving research and development and policy making.
Improvement in extraction and catalytic activity of Mucor javanicus lipase by modification of AOT reverse micelle
Authors: Talukder Mahabubur Rahman , Susanto Diana , Feng Gao , Wu Jinchuan , Choi Won Jae , Chow Yvonne
Published: July 2007

Reverse micelles are formed in apolar solvents by spontaneous aggregation of surfactants. Surfactant sodium bis (2‐ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) is most often used for the reverse micellar extraction of enzymes. However, the inactivation of enzyme due to strong interaction with AOT molecules is a severe problem. To overcome this problem, the AOT/water/isooctane reverse micellar system was modified by adding short chain polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400). The modified AOT reverse micellar system was used to extract Mucor javanicus lipase from the aqueous phase to the reverse micellar phase. The extraction efficiency (E) increased with the increase in PEG 400 addition and the maximum E in PEG 400 modified system was twofold higher than that in the PEG 400‐free system. Upon addition of PEG 400, the water activity (aw) of aqueous phase decreased, whereas aw of reverse micellar phase increased. The circular dichroism spectroscopy analysis revealed that PEG 400 changes the secondary and tertiary structure of lipase. The maximum specific activity of lipase extracted in PEG 400‐modified reverse micellar system was threefold higher than that in the PEG‐free system.
Understanding Ribonucleotide Reductase Inactivation by Gemcitabine
Authors: Cerqueira Nuno M. F. S. A. , Fernandes Pedro A. , Ramos Maria J.
Published: July 2007

This paper focuses on the inhibition of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) by gemcitabine, 2′,2′‐difluoro‐2′‐deoxycytidine (dFdC), a deoxycytidine analogue that is a very active drug against solid tumors and is currently commercialized as gemzar. RNR inactivation is reductant‐dependent and occurs in a very different way from that of other known substrate analogues. In the presence of reductants monomer R1 of RNR is inhibited, whereas in the absence of reductants the radical is lost and monomer R2 is inhibited. As inside the cell reductants are available, it is likely that R1 inactivation is the most favorable mechanism responsible for drug cytotoxicity. This inhibition pathway has been unknown to date, but we have conducted a theoretical study that has led us to the first proposal of a mechanism for RNR inhibition by dFdC in the presence of reductants.
Kinetic and Thermochemical Study of the Antioxidant Activity of Sulfur‐Containing Analogues of Vitamin E
Authors: Amorati Riccardo , Cavalli Andrea , Fumo Maria Grazia , Masetti Matteo , Menichetti Stefano , Pagliuca Chiara , Pedulli Gian Franco , Viglianisi Caterina
Published: July 2007

Sulfur‐containing analogues of vitamin E (thiachromanols), either linked or not to a catechol moiety, were synthesized and their hydrogen‐atom donating ability evaluated. The determination of the OH bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) of the α‐tocopherol analogue 4 by the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) equilibration technique provided a value of 78.9 kcal mol−1, that is, approximately 1.8 kcal mol−1 higher than that of α‐tocopherol. The kinetic rate constants for the reaction with peroxyl radicals (kinh), measured by inhibited autoxidation studies, showed that thiachromanols react 2.5 times slower than the corresponding tocopherols, in agreement with the higher BDE value. This behavior was explained, on the basis of crystallographic analyses and DFT calculations, in terms of a change in the molecular geometry caused by insertion of a sulfur atom into the framework of vitamin E. This behavior implies a greater deviation of the condensed ring from coplanarity with the aromatic ring, thus giving rise to a decrease in the conjugative stabilization of the phenoxyl radical and consequently to an increase in the OH bond strength. Although less reactive than tocopherols, thiachromanols may, however, act as bimodal antioxidants as a result of the hydroperoxide decomposing ability of the sulfur atom.
Is This a Chemical Bond? A Theoretical Study of Ng2@C60(Ng=He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe)
Authors: Krapp Andreas , Frenking Gernot
Published: July 2007

Quantum‐chemical calculations using DFT (BP86) and ab initio methods (MP2, SCS‐MP2) have been carried out for the endohedral fullerenes Ng2@C60(Ng=He–Xe). The nature of the interactions has been analyzed with charge‐ and energy‐partitioning methods and with the topological analysis of the electron density (Atoms‐in‐Molecules (AIM)). The calculations predict that the equilibrium geometries of Ng2@C60haveD3dsymmetry when Ng=Ne, Ar, Kr, while the energy‐minimum structure of Xe2@C60hasD5dsymmetry. The precession movement of He2in He2@C60has practically no barrier. The NgNg distances in Ng2@C60are much shorter than in free Ng2. All compounds Ng2@C60are thermodynamically unstable towards loss of the noble gas atoms. The heavier species Ar2@C60, Kr2@C60, and Xe2@C60are high energy compounds which are at the BSSE corrected SCS‐MP2/TZVPP level in the range 96.7–305.5 kcal mol−1less stable than free C60 + 2 Ng. The AIM method reveals that there is always an NgNg bond path in Ng2@C60. There are six NgC bond paths in (D3d) Ar2@C60, Kr2@C60, and Xe2@C60, whereas the lighterD3dhomologues He2@C60and Ne2@C60have only three NgC2paths. The calculated charge distribution and the orbital analysis clearly show that the bonding situation in Xe2@C60significantly differs from those of the lighter homologues. The atomic partial charge of the [Xe2] moiety is +1.06, whereas the charges of the lighter dimers [Ng2] are close to zero. The a2uHOMO of (D3d) Xe2@C60in the1A1gstate shows a large mixing of the highest lying occupied σ* orbital of [Xe2] and the orbitals of the C60cage. There is only a small gap between the a2uHOMO of Xe2@C60and the euLUMO and the a2uLUMO+1. The calculations show that there are several triplet states which are close in energy to each other and to the1A1gstate. The bonding analysis suggests that the interacting species in Xe2@C60are the charged species Xe2q+and C60q−, where 1<q<2. The calculated XeXe distance in the endohedral fullerene (2.494 Å) is even shorter than the calculated value for free Xe22+(2.746 Å). Thus, the XeC and XeXe interactions in Xe2@C60should be considered as genuine chemical bonds which are enforced by the compression energy. The NgNg and NgC interactions in the lighter homologues Ar2@C60and Kr2@C60may also be considered as chemical bonds because the theoretically predicted properties of the endohedral fullerenes are significantly different from the free C60and noble gas atoms. According to the bonding analysis, He2@C60and Ne2@C60are weakly bonded van der Waals complexes.

C‐reactive protein is an informative predictor of renal cell carcinoma‐specific mortality
Authors: Karakiewicz Pierre I. , Hutterer Georg C. , Trinh Quoc‐Dien , Jeldres Claudio , Perrotte Paul , Gallina Andrea , Tostain Jacques , Patard Jean‐Jacques
Published: July 2007

BACKGROUND.

C‐reactive protein (CRP) represents a promising prognostic variable in patients with sporadic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). It was hypothesized that CRP can improve the prognostic ability of standard RCC‐specific mortality (RCC‐SM) predictors in patients treated with nephrectomy for all stages of RCC.

METHODS.

Radical nephrectomy was performed in 314 patients from 2 European centers. Life table, Kaplan‐Meier, and Cox regression analyses addressed RCC‐SM. Covariates included age, gender, TNM stage, tumor size, Fuhrman grade, and histologic subtype.

RESULTS.

The median survival of the cohort was 19.9 years. Age ranged from 10 to 77 years. Most patients were male (69%). T‐stages were distributed as follows: T1‐121 (38.7%), T2‐45 (14.4%), T3‐140 (44.7%), T4‐7 (2.2%). CRP values ranged from 1.0 to 358.0 mg/L (mean 40.9, median 11.0 mg/L). In multivariable analyses, CRP was an independent predictor of RCC‐SM (P = .003). The consideration of CRP in the multivariable model increased the predictive accuracy by 3.7% (P < .001). Moreover, the model with CRP performed 2.4% and 4.6% better than the UCLA Integrated Staging System (UISS) at, respectively, 2 and 5 years.

CONCLUSIONS.

CRP represents an informative predictor of RCC‐SM. Its routine use could allow better risk stratification and risk‐adjusted follow‐up of RCC patients. Cancer 2007. © 2007 American Cancer Society.
Effects of divorce education on mediation process and outcome
Authors: Arbuthnot Jack , Kramer Kevin
Published: July 2007

A nationwide survey of practitioner‐level mediators (n = 253) was conducted to determine their views on the effectiveness of divorce education programs for parents on both the process and the outcome of divorce mediation. Over three‐quarters of the respondents reported that divorce education programs were available in their communities, most typically run by the local court or by an independent, nonprofit organization, and over half are mandatory. Over half of the mediators report that they do formal divorce education with clients at least sometimes. Perceived impacts on the mediation process and outcome included greater focus on the children, more cooperation and better communication skills demonstrated by the parents, fewer sole custody parenting plans, and a trend toward less time required to reach agreement. Modal responses indicated that mediators generally believe divorce education is appropriate for highly conflicted and power‐imbalanced couples but is less so for couples involved in substance or spousal abuse. Just over two‐thirds believe divorce education should be mandatory for all divorcing couples with children. Results are discussed in terms of programmatic needs.
Exploring the cognitive and affective capacities of child mediators in a “successful” inner‐city peer mediation program
Authors: Long Jennie J. , Fabricius William V. , Musheno Michael , Palumbo Dennis
Published: July 2007

Already a staple of urban high schools, peer mediation programs are now proliferating in inner‐city elementary and middle schools. Our research questions whether young children, regardless of their location in the urban landscape, have the cognitive capacities to use the problem‐solving technology of mediation. Moreover, it challenges the claim that hostile aggression of inner‐city youths increases with age. Our research points to the contrary claim that violent modes of conflict decrease as children mature. Rather than only promoting mediation technology, we encourage elementary and middle schools to also create discursive space for verbal interaction. This strategy, in combination with the process of maturation, will enable urban youths to work out trouble peacefully.
Couples from hell: Undifferentiated spouses in divorce mediation
Authors: Mathis Richard D.
Published: July 2007

Low differentiation between spouses is presented as an explanation of why a specific type of couple fares poorly in mediation. Undifferentiated spouses who remain emotionally dependent either on each other or on their family often negotiate at length and with great intensity, but they are very unlikely to reach any agreement. Active, structured interventions are recommended to assist undifferentiated clients to un fuse. Mediators should address excess emotional and international connectedness in the spousal dyad early in the process by attacking pseudo communication, reactivity excessive “we” thinking, triangulation, lack of spouse autonomy, and ineffective boundaries.
Mediation and the elderly: What mediators need to know
Authors: Schmitz Suzanne J.
Published: July 2007

As senior citizens use mediation, they will need mediators who understand the elderly. The two most important issues are competency and communication. Mediators should assume that the senior is competent and able to participate meaningfully in mediation. During intake and the mediation session, mediators must be prepared to accommodate for any disabilities, especially those related to communications. Successful mediators will learn to appreciate the values, needs, and interests of seniors and to be sensitive to a possible history of poor conflict resolution. Wise mediators will become part of the senior citizen network, educate about mediation, learn about seniors, and develop referral sources for the elderly. Family mediators have much to offer senior citizens if they appreciate these issues.
Conflict resolution and peer mediation in public schools: What works?
Authors: Lindsay Paul
Published: July 2007

The effectiveness of conflict resolution and peer mediation programs developed by community mediation centers in fourteen elementary, middle, and high schools was examined and compared with three schools without such programs. Teachers and other school personnel were interviewed and surveyed by mail, providing both qualitative and quantitative data. Positive impact was found on school discipline systems and curriculum. Teachers gained skills useful for teaching and class management. Schools developed enlarged visions of teaching students to take responsibility for their own actions. Problems identified by school personnel are analyzed, and six elements essential for successful programs are proposed.
Disabilities and mediation readiness in court‐referred cases: Developing screening criteria and service networks
Authors: Coy Patrick G. , Hedeen Timothy M.
Published: July 2007

Mediation is an ideal alternative to court for many matters. Referrals involving disputants with certain emotional or mental disabilities may or may not be appropriate for community mediation as it is currently being practiced. In many cases, community mediation must become more flexible and accessible; it must offer coaching in advance, allow advocate participation, use mediators skilled in disability issues, and adapt the process. In other cases, centers must assess the “mediation readiness” of disputants. In all cases, community mediation needs to become more deeply nested in human services referral networks. Screening criteria through which mediation programs might assess disputant readiness are suggested.
