Published: November 2015

Nanofiltration has been playing an important role in water purification, in which the developments of novel membrane materials and modules are among significant. Herein, a metal‐organic framework (MOFs) hybrid membrane, ZIF‐8/PSS was fabricated on a tubular alumina substrate through a layer‐by‐layer self‐assembly technique. ZIF‐8 particles in situ grow into PSS layers to improve their compatibility and dispersion, thereby getting high quality membrane, which was loaded into a steel tubular module for nano‐filtrating dyes from water. Under optimized conditions, it shows outstanding nanofiltration properties toward methyl blue, with the flux of 210 Lm−2 h−1 MPa−1 and the rejection of 98.6%. Furthermore, the good pressure resistance ability and running stability of the membrane were revealed, which can be attributed to use the ceramic substrate and the inherent stability of ZIF‐8. This work thus illustrates a simple approach for fabricating MOFs hybrid membranes on tubular ceramic substrates, having great potential for industrial applications. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 62: 538–546, 2016

Objective

To characterize sequential patterns of regional neuropathology and clinical symptoms in a well‐characterized cohort of 21 patients with autopsy‐confirmed Pick disease.

Methods

Detailed neuropathological examination using 70μm and traditional 6μm sections was performed using thioflavin‐S staining and immunohistochemistry for phosphorylated tau, 3R and 4R tau isoforms, ubiquitin, and C‐terminally truncated tau. Patterns of regional tau deposition were correlated with clinical data. In a subset of cases (n = 5), converging evidence was obtained using antemortem neuroimaging measures of gray and white matter integrity.

Results

Four sequential patterns of pathological tau deposition were identified starting in frontotemporal limbic/paralimbic and neocortical regions (phase I). Sequential involvement was seen in subcortical structures, including basal ganglia, locus coeruleus, and raphe nuclei (phase II), followed by primary motor cortex and precerebellar nuclei (phase III) and finally visual cortex in the most severe (phase IV) cases. Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia was the predominant clinical phenotype (18 of 21), but all patients eventually developed a social comportment disorder. Pathological tau phases reflected the evolution of clinical symptoms and degeneration on serial antemortem neuroimaging, directly correlated with disease duration and inversely correlated with brain weight at autopsy. The majority of neuronal and glial tau inclusions were 3R tau–positive and 4R tau–negative in sporadic cases. There was a relative abundance of mature tau pathology markers in frontotemporal limbic/paralimbic regions compared to neocortical regions.

Interpretation

Pick disease tau neuropathology may originate in limbic/paralimbic cortices. The patterns of tau pathology observed here provide novel insights into the natural history and biology of tau‐mediated neurodegeneration. Ann Neurol 2016;79:272–287

The Genes and Environment in Multiple Sclerosis project establishes a platform to investigate the events leading to multiple sclerosis (MS) in at‐risk individuals. It has recruited 2,632 first‐degree relatives from across the USA. Using an integrated genetic and environmental risk score, we identified subjects with twice the MS risk when compared to the average family member, and we report an initial incidence rate in these subjects that is 30 times greater than that of sporadic MS. We discuss the feasibility of large‐scale studies of asymptomatic at‐risk subjects that leverage modern tools of subject recruitment to execute collaborative projects. Ann Neurol 2016;79:178–189

A Rotational BODIPY Nucleotide: An Environment‐Sensitive Fluorescence‐Lifetime Probe for DNA Interactions and Applications in Live‐Cell Microscopy
Authors: Dziuba Dmytro , Jurkiewicz Piotr , Cebecauer Marek , Hof Martin , Hocek Michal
Published: November 2015

Fluorescent probes for detecting the physical properties of cellular structures have become valuable tools in life sciences. The fluorescence lifetime of molecular rotors can be used to report on variations in local molecular packing or viscosity. We used a nucleoside linked to a meso‐substituted BODIPY fluorescent molecular rotor (dCbdp) to sense changes in DNA microenvironment both in vitro and in living cells. DNA incorporating dCbdp can respond to interactions with DNA‐binding proteins and lipids by changes in the fluorescence lifetimes in the range 0.5–2.2 ns. We can directly visualize changes in the local environment of exogenous DNA during transfection of living cells. Relatively long fluorescence lifetimes and extensive contrast for detecting changes in the microenvironment together with good photostability and versatility for DNA synthesis make this probe suitable for analysis of DNA‐associated processes, cellular structures, and also DNA‐based nanomaterials.

Published: November 2015

N‐glycosylation is a fundamental modification of proteins and exists in the three domains of life and in some viruses, including the chloroviruses, for which a new type of core N‐glycan is herein described. This N‐glycan core structure, common to all chloroviruses, is a pentasaccharide with a β‐glucose linked to an asparagine residue which is not located in the typical sequon N‐X‐T/S. The glucose is linked to a terminal xylose unit and a hyperbranched fucose, which is in turn substituted with a terminal galactose and a second xylose residue. The third position of the fucose unit is always linked to a rhamnose, which is a semiconserved element because its absolute configuration is virus‐dependent. Additional decorations occur on this core N‐glycan and represent a molecular signature for each chlorovirus.
Preparation and characterization of polysiloxane networks containing metallic platinum particles
Authors: Stochmal Edyta , Strzezik Joanna , Krowiak Agnieszka
Published: November 2015

Polysiloxane networks obtained via cross‐linking of D4/V4polysiloxane served as matrices for incorporation of metallic Pt particles. D4/V4polymer used in the crosslinking was synthesized by equilibrium cationic ring‐opening polymerization of the corresponding cyclotetrasiloxane monomers. Linear (HMMH) or cyclic () hydrosiloxanes, at different hydrosiloxane to D4/V4molar ratios, were applied as crosslinking agents. Platinum species were introduced into the crosslinked products from PtCl4solution in THF or in isopropyl alcohol via the reduction of Pt4+to Pt0in the presence of active Si‐H sites. Various analytical techniques: UV‐vis and FTIR spectroscopy, swelling measurements, XRD, SEM, and thermogravimetric analysis were applied to control the progress of the reaction or to characterize the intermediate or final products. IR spectroscopy allowed to determine the efficiency of cross‐linking process and to investigate the consumption of un‐reacted Si‐H groups accompanying the reduction of platinum ions. XRD studies confirmed the incorporation of metallic platinum into all systems. Good thermal stability of obtained products was found using thermogravimetric analysis. According to SEM investigations, the applied network as well as the solvent used in the reduction process influenced the dispersion of metallic particles on the surface of the matrices. The obtained Pt‐systems exhibited mainly redox activity in catalytic isopropyl alcohol conversion used as a test reaction. Significant differences in catalytic properties between systems containing different matrices were observed. The promoting effect on the catalytic activity was found in the case of C‐P type support, i.e. the polysiloxane network obtained using the cyclic hydrosiloxane as the crosslinking agent. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Authors: Shibata Mitsuhiro , Satoh Kazuki , Ehara Shouta
Published: November 2015

Prepolymerizations of 4,4′‐bismaleimidodiphenylmethane (BMI), diallyl isocyanurate (DAIC), and melamine (ML) at 160–170°C and subsequent compression molding at 200–280°C yielded cured BMI/DAIC/ML resins with feed molar ratios of 4/1/1, 3/1/1, and 2/1/1 (BMI‐DAIC‐ML411, 311, and 211). Similarly, cured BMI/DAIC 1/1 and BMI/ML 3/1 resins (BMI‐DAIC11 and BMI‐ML31) were prepared. The FT‐IR analysis revealed that the maleimide and allyl groups were almost consumed for all the cured resins, and the hydrogen bonding interaction became stronger with decreasing BMI contents for BMI‐DAIC‐MLs. Based on the cured structures elucidated from the FT‐IR result, the numbers of multiple hydrogen bonds and cross‐linking covalent bonds (NMHB and NCB), and total cross‐linking bond energy (ETB) were evaluated to be 0, 7.92, and 618 for BMI‐DAIC‐ML411, 0.71, 7.81, and 627 for BMI‐DAIC‐ML311, and 0.95 mol kg−1, 7.61 mol kg−1, and 617 kcal kg−1 for BMI‐DAIC‐ML211, respectively. A higher order of glass transition and 5% weight loss temperatures for BMI‐DAIC‐MLs was 411 > 311 > 211 in accordance with a higher order of NCB. BMI‐DAIC‐MLs displayed a weak tan δ peak at 70–150°C due to dissociation of the hydrogen bonds. The flexural strength and modulus of BMI‐DAIC‐ML311 were higher than those of BMI‐DAIC‐ML411 in accordance with the difference of ETB. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Published: November 2015

Generalized linear models (GLM) with a canonical logit link function are the primary modeling technique used to relate a binary outcome to predictor variables. However, noncanonical links can offer more flexibility, producing convenient analytical quantities (e.g., probit GLMs in toxicology) and desired measures of effect (e.g., relative risk from log GLMs). Many summary goodness‐of‐fit (GOF) statistics exist for logistic GLM. Their properties make the development of GOF statistics relatively straightforward, but it can be more difficult under noncanonical links. Although GOF tests for logistic GLM with continuous covariates (GLMCC) have been applied to GLMCCs with log links, we know of no GOF tests in the literature specifically developed for GLMCCs that can be applied regardless of link function chosen. We generalize the Tsiatis GOF statistic originally developed for logistic GLMCCs, (), so that it can be applied under any link function. Further, we show that the algebraically related Hosmer–Lemeshow () and Pigeon–Heyse (J2) statistics can be applied directly. In a simulation study, , , and J2 were used to evaluate the fit of probit, log–log, complementary log–log, and log models, all calculated with a common grouping method. The statistic consistently maintained Type I error rates, while those of and J2 were often lower than expected if terms with little influence were included. Generally, the statistics had similar power to detect an incorrect model. An exception occurred when a log GLMCC was incorrectly fit to data generated from a logistic GLMCC. In this case, had more power than or J2.
Potent oxazoline analog of apratoxin C: Synthesis, biological evaluation, and conformational analysis
Authors: Yoshida Masahito , Onda Yuichi , Masuda Yuichi , Doi Takayuki
Published: November 2015

In this research, the synthesis, biological evaluation, and conformational analysis of an apratoxin C oxazoline analog (3) have been demonstrated. The preparation of synthetic key intermediate 9 was achieved using an improved strategy that involves commercially available 3‐methylglutaric anhydride (12), an enzymatic enantioselective alcoholysis, and a diastereoselective reduction. The Pro‐Dtrina (3,7‐dihydroxy‐2,5,8‐trimethylnonanoic acid) moiety 8 was successfully synthesized in a similar manner as our previously reported synthesis of apratoxin C (1). The cyclization precursor 5 was formed after the coupling of Pro‐Dtrina 8 with a known tetrapeptide 7 to afford a linear peptide 6, the formation of an oxazoline, and the removal of the protecting groups. Finally, the macrolactamization of 5 with O‐(7‐aza‐1H‐benzotriazol‐1‐yl)‐N,N,N′,N′‐tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU)/N,N‐diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) furnished an apratoxin C oxazoline analog (3), which exhibited a potent cytotoxicity against HeLa cells (IC50 value of 22 nM) that was comparable with the cytotoxicity of apratoxin C (1) (IC50 value of 4.2 nM). Conformational analyses of 1 and 3 through NMR experiments showed that oxazoline analog 3 formed a tertiary structure that was similar to the apratoxin C (1) structure in CD3CN, which provided a probable explanation for their comparable cytotoxicities. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Background

Health-related quality of life (QoL) is of major importance in pancreatic cancer, owing to the limited life expectation. The aim of this prospective longitudinal study was to describe QoL in patients undergoing resection for pancreatic or periampullary malignancy.

Methods

QoL was measured on a scale of 0–100 in patients who underwent pancreatic resection for malignancy or premalignancy at the University Medical Centre Utrecht before resection, and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. Measures consisted of the RAND-36, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) core questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and the EORTC pancreatic cancer-specific module (QLQ-PAN26).

Results

Between March 2012 and November 2013, 68 consecutive patients with a malignancy (59 patients) or premalignancy (9) were included. Physical role restriction, social and emotional domains showed a significant and clinically relevant deterioration directly after operation in 53 per cent (RAND-36, P < 0·001), 63 and 78 per cent (QLQ-C30 and RAND-36 respectively, P < 0·001) and 37 per cent (RAND-36, P < 0·001) of patients respectively. Most domains demonstrated recovery to preoperative values or better at 3 months, except for physical functioning. Emotional functioning at 3, 6 and 12 months was better than at baseline (P < 0·001). Symptom scores revealed a deterioration in vitality, pain (P = 0·002), fatigue (P < 0·001), appetite loss (P < 0·001), altered bowel habit (P = 0·001) and side-effects (P < 0·001) after 1 month. After 3 months, only side-effects were worse than preoperative values (P < 0·001).

Conclusion

QoL after pancreatic resection for malignant and premalignant tumours decreased considerably in the early postoperative phase. Full recovery of QoL took up to 6 months after the operation.

Published: November 2015

The use of transplanted adipose tissue to repair crucial defects is clinically interesting for surgical reconstruction. Terminally differentiated adipocytes are utilized to promote the healthy regeneration of defective tissue. Use of differentiated mesenchymal stem cells, capable of differentiation into adipocytes, is advantageous because of their regenerative properties. Conventionally, the differentiation of hMSCs toward adipocytes occurs through chemical stimulation. We designed a microfluidic system, consisting of plastic tubing and a syringe pump, to create an environment of shear to accelerate this differentiation process. This system employed a flow rate equivalent to the accelerated flow rates found within the arterial system in order to promote and activate intracellular and extracellular proteins associated with the adipogenic lineage. Confirmation of sustained viability following shear exposure was obtained using a fluorescent live‐dead assay. Visualization of intracellular lipid accumulation was achieved via Oil Red O staining. When placed into culture, shear stimulated hMSCs were further induced toward brown adipose tissue, as evidenced by a greater quantity of lipid triglycerides, relative to unstimulated hMSCs. qRT‐PCR analysis validated the phenotypic changes observed when the hMSCs were later cultured in adipogenic differentiation media. Additionally, increased fold change for adipogenic markers such as LPL1, CFL1, and SSP1 were observed as a result of shear stimulation. The significance of this work lies in the demonstration that transient fluid shear exposure of hMSCs in suspension can influence differentiation into adipocytes. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Dealing with Relational and Social Challenges After Child Soldiering: Perspectives of Formerly Recruited Youth and Their Communities in Northern Uganda
Authors: Schiltz Julie , Vindevogel Sofie , Broekaert Eric , Derluyn Ilse
Published: November 2015

The reintegration of formerly recruited youth typically engenders a range of relational and social challenges, affecting both formerly recruited youth and the communities to which they return. Yet, research rarely studies the perspectives of community members, hampering the design of much‐needed community‐based interventions. This study aimed to understand how communities in northern Uganda experience and deal with relational and social challenges during the reintegration of youths who were formerly recruited into the Lord's resistance army (LRA). The study was undertaken in 2012 in Lira district. Participatory Ranking Methodology (PRM) was conducted with 267 participants, of whom 49 were formerly recruited youths. The results show five themes that give insight into how communities experience and handle relational and social challenges in the reintegration of formerly recruited youth: (i) letting go of fear, (ii) getting used to life after captivity, (iii) resentment and forgiveness, (iv) reducing insults and nicknaming and (v) coping with ongoing relational and social challenges. We discuss how formerly recruited youths and other community members frame relational and social challenges differently, and value similar resources for different reasons. The results of this study suggest that multiple experiences of and perspectives on relational and social challenges following child soldiering should be taken into account to develop interventions that are supported and valued by the community. Furthermore, interventions should draw upon the strategies that communities have already developed in response to relational and social challenges. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
