Integrative analysis of the canonical TGF?-Smad signaling pathway in breast cancer (Preprint)
Authors: Zhou Dan , Tang Weiwei , Zhang Yun , An Hanxiang
Published: July 2018

BACKGROUND

Breast cancer deaths are mainly attributed to metastasis, while epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a pivotal role in promoting cancer cell metastasis. EMT is activated by various stimuli, resulting in different therapeutic responses. The TGFβ signaling pathway is a canonical driver of EMT, and many molecular drugs are developed to target this pathway. However, the alternations of this pathway in BC remain elusive.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the canonical TGFβ-Smad signaling pathway and breast cancer pathogenesis.

METHODS

Herein, we investigated the mutational, transcriptional, epigenetic and post-transcriptional alternations of 14 core members in this pathway through bioinformatics approach by analyses of 56,496 BC patients from various public databases, including COSMIC, Oncomine, DiseaseMeth and Starbase. A protein-protein interaction network was derived from Cytoscape software. Associations of these selected members with relapse free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), distant metastases free survival (DMFS) and post progression survival (PPS) were performed using the Kaplan-Meier plotter online tool.

RESULTS

Our integrated analyses revealed that Smad4 was the most frequently mutated member of the TGFβ-Smad pathway in BC with a mutation frequency of 0.85% (30/3537). The expression levels of TGFβ1, TGFβ3, Smad1, Smad2 and Smad7 were significantly higher, whereas TGFβ2, ALK1, ALK2, ALK5, TGFβR2, Smad3, Smad4, Smad5 and Smad6 were downregulated in BC compared with normal subjects (P<0.001). Evaluation of epigenetic alteration identified that the promoters of ALK1 (P=0.000e+00), ALK2 (P=2.22e-16) and ALK5 (P=1.625e-12) were hypermethylated in 1,274 BC samples. In contrast, Smad2 (P=6.56e-04) was significantly hypomethylated in BC. Although all 14 members had potential diagnostic significances with different prediction power (AUC ranging from 0.788 to 1.00) in various subtypes of BC, only TGFβ3 could predict RFS (HR=0.69, 95% CI [0.62-0.77]), OS (HR=0.69, 95% CI [0.56-0.86]), DMFS (HR=0.8, 95% CI [0.66-0.97]) and PPS (HR=0.76, 95% CI [0.6-0.97]) for patients with BC in an independent manner. Additionally, 11 out of 14 members were associated with RFS in luminal A BC.

CONCLUSIONS

Our results indicated that TGFβ-Smad pathway core members could serve as novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in BC.
Objectively Measured Baseline Physical Activity Patterns in Women in the mPED Trial: Cluster Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Fukuoka Yoshimi , Zhou Mo , Vittinghoff Eric , Haskell William , Goldberg Ken , Aswani Anil
Published: July 2018

BACKGROUND

Determining patterns of physical activity throughout the day could assist in developing more personalized interventions or physical activity guidelines in general and, in particular, for women who are less likely to be physically active than men.

OBJECTIVE

The aims of this report are to identify clusters of women based on accelerometer-measured baseline raw metabolic equivalent of task (MET) values and a normalized version of the METs ≥3 data, and to compare sociodemographic and cardiometabolic risks among these identified clusters.

METHODS

A total of 215 women who were enrolled in the Mobile Phone Based Physical Activity Education (mPED) trial and wore an accelerometer for at least 8 hours per day for the 7 days prior to the randomization visit were analyzed. The k-means clustering method and the Lloyd algorithm were used on the data. We used the elbow method to choose the number of clusters, looking at the percentage of variance explained as a function of the number of clusters.

RESULTS

The results of the k-means cluster analyses of raw METs revealed three different clusters. The unengaged group (n=102) had the highest depressive symptoms score compared with the afternoon engaged (n=65) and morning engaged (n=48) groups (overall P<.001). Based on a normalized version of the METs ≥3 data, the moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) evening peak group (n=108) had a higher body mass index (P=.03), waist circumference (P=.02), and hip circumference (P=.03) than the MVPA noon peak group (n=61).

CONCLUSIONS

Categorizing physically inactive individuals into more specific activity patterns could aid in creating timing, frequency, duration, and intensity of physical activity interventions for women. Further research is needed to confirm these cluster groups using a large national dataset.

Extrapolating Long-Maturity Bond Yields for Financial Risk Measurement
Authors:   Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Christensen Jens H. E. , Lopez Jose A. ,   Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Mussche Paul ,   Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
Published: July 2018

Insurance companies and pension funds have liabilities far into the future and typically well beyond the longest maturity bonds trading in fixed-income markets. Such long-lived liabilities still need to be discounted, and yield curve extrapolations based on the information in observed yields can be used. We use dynamic Nelson-Siegel (DNS) yield curve models for extrapolating risk-free yield curves for Switzerland, Canada, France, and the U.S. We find slight biases in extrapolated long bond yields of a few basis points. In addition, the DNS model allows the generation of useful financial risk metrics, such as ranges of possible yield outcomes over projection horizons commonly used for stress-testing purposes. Therefore, we recommend using DNS models as a simple tool for generating extrapolated yields for long-term interest rate risk management. [The first version of this paper was July 6, 2018.]

Populorum Progressio: cinquenta anos de uma proposta de desenvolvimento integral
Authors: Costa Dom Paulo Cezar
Published: July 2018

A Doutrina Social da Igreja é abordada à Luz da Encíclica Populorum Progressio e a preocupação que a Igreja demonstrou com a desigualdade social causada pela modernidade e a falta de espírito solidário. É apresentada as reflexões que alguns papas fizeram denunciando o acúmulo de bens nas mãos dos ricos e a privação dos pobres do direito de viver com dignidade. A Igreja não se calou frente às injustiças e desigualdades e acompanhou as mudanças, sociais, culturais, políticas e econômicas com um olhar atento para os pobres e marginalizados. Para Igreja o desenvolvimento humano integral deveria promover o homem na sua integralidade. Os bens da terra deveriam estar a serviço de todos supondo uma liberdade responsável que é fundamental para que o homem seja valorizado por aquilo que é e não apenas pelo que representa. Na perspectiva da Igreja o crescimento humano pode ser entendido como que um resumo dos nossos deveres, pois o homem, pela sua inserção em Cristo vivificante, entra num humanismo transcendente que o leva a sua maior plenitude.

Published: July 2018

O presente trabalho, relacionado ao estudo desenvolvido pelo projeto de pesquisa intitulado Mulheres fortes: O conto africano de língua portuguesa de autoria feminina (PROBIC/FAPERGS), tem por objetivo analisar a condição feminina presente em nove contos da obra Mornas eram as noites, de autoria da escritora cabo-verdiana Dina Salústio. A partir da leitura de obras críticas de especialistas nas literaturas africanas de língua portuguesa, como Maria Aparecida Santilli (2007), Manuel Ferreira (1987), Pires Laranjeira (1995) e Simone Caputo Gomes (2006; 2013), assim como em artigos publicados em revistas acadêmicas, revisamos a fortuna crítica da autora com o intuito de conhecer seus temas. Nas nove narrativas, observamos que há figuras femininas diferenciadas, representando um amplo apanhado de todas as classes sociais e de diferentes idades. A grande maioria das histórias é narrada em primeira pessoa, o que aproxima o leitor da condição feminina e também funciona como uma espécie de pedido de cumplicidade por parte das narradoras para sentir-se parte desse emaranhado de sentimentos e situações em que elas se encontram.Palavras-chave: Literatura de autoria feminina. Conto. Literatura cabo-verdiana. Dina Salústio. Condição feminina.ABSTRACTThis article, related to the study developed in the research project Strong Women: African short stories written by women writers (PROBIC/FAPERGS), aims to to analyze the women’s condition in 9 (nine) short stories in Warm were the nights, by the Cape Verdean writer Dina Salústio.

In the nine narratives, we noted that there are differentiated feminine figures, representing a broad view of all social classes and different ages. The majority of stories were narrated in the first person, which connect the reader to the women’s condition as well as it works as a kind of asking for partnership by the narrators to feel part of this connection of feelings and situations in which the characters are involved. Keywords: Women’s writing. Short story. Cape Verdean Literature. Dina Salústio. Women’s condition.

Authors: Гребельная Наталья Владимировна , Черняева Юлия Викторовна

Цель работы – выявление наиболее эффективных форм представления мультимедийных презентаций в высшем и последипломном медицинском образовании.

Материал и методы. Изучена эффективность усвоения материала курса гинекологии (студенты) и ультразвуковой диагностики (врачи-курсанты), связанного с медицинской визуализацией. Часть обучаемых прослушала лекцию преподавателя, сопровождаемую мультимедийной презентацией, часть – изучала ту же презентацию и текст лекции самостоятельно. Эффективность обучения оценивали посредством тестовых заданий и субъективно обучаемым. Результаты обработаны методами непараметрической статистики.

Результаты. Преимуществами лекции преподавателя в сопровождении презентации является мультимодальность восприятия, возможность комментариев и уточнений со стороны лектора, обязательность посещения как мотивационный фактор. Основным достоинством самостоятельного изучения с использованием мультимедийных презентаций является возможность регулирования обучаемым времени и скорости изучения темы, обращения повторно к пройденной информации и к внешним источникам, а также использования презентации или отдельных изображений в последующем в процессе обучения и профессиональной деятельности.

Среди студентов результаты тестового контроля были достоверно (p<0,05) выше в группе, слушавшей лекцию преподавателя в сопровождении презентации, среди  курсантов – у изучавших тот же материал самостоятельно. У студентов отмечена низкая мотивация к самостоятельному изучению материала, что влияло на качество его усвоения. Отмечено, что субъективная оценка не отображает реального уровня усвоения информации и не коррелирует с результатами тестовых заданий.

Заключение. Установлено, что мультимедийные презентации являются более эффективными, чем изображения на бумажных носителях, в обучении студентов и курсантов предметам, связанным с медицинской визуализацией. Для студентов наиболее результативным является подача визуального материала в ходе лекции, читаемой преподавателем, для врачей-курсантов – самостоятельное изучение с возможностью обращения к иным информационным ресурсам. Субъективная оценка не является достоверным критерием усвоения информации.

Ключевые слова: мультимедийная презентация, высшее образование, последипломное образование, медицинское изображение
Language Assessment Literacy for Pre-service Teachers: Course Expectations from Different Stakeholders
Authors: Giraldo Frank , Murcia Daniel
Published: July 2018

In the field of applied linguistics, for the past fifteen years, there have been discussions about language assessment literacy (LAL) —the knowledge, skills, and principles related to assessing language ability— (Davies, 2008; Fulcher, 2012). However, the field lacks research on the professional development of language teachers, particularly pre-service language teachers, through training in language assessment. Our paper focuses on the preliminary findings of an action research study whose goal is to identify the impact of a language assessment course for pre-service teachers in a language teaching program in a state university in Colombia. Data collection for the diagnostic stage of the action research cycle used a multiple-choice questionnaire for student needs and wants, an open questionnaire for professors, an interview with an expert, and researchers’ journals. Preliminary findings indicate that there is a need to combine theory and practice of language assessment, with an emphasis on current methodologies for language teaching, assessment in bilingual education, and local policies for assessment. The paper highlights recommendations and challenges when designing a language assessment course based on insights from existing literature and includes implications for professional development.

The cooling curve analysis (CCA) has been used extensively in the metal casting industry, usually to predict alloy compositio n and microstructure constituents. The use of CCA can be expanded to other areas of solidification if the zero curves can be properly calculated. In this paper the Newtonian and Fourier techniques of zero curve determination are described. These techniques were developed to calculate latent heat and to determine the correlations between solid fraction and temperature/time for Al-7 wt%Si alloy. The importance of the changes in heat capacity and density of solid and liquid phases during solidification on the latent heat calculations was examined. The latent heat calculated by Computer-Aided Cooling Curve Analysis (CA-CCA) method is compared with those reported in the literature. The effect of experimental procedure and type of sampling cup on the latent heat calculations were studied for both techniques.
