Studies on heterosis in bhendi [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]
Authors: Karthika* N. , Sundaram V.
Published: February 2017

The studies on heterosis in bhendi was conducted with 20 F1­’s developed from 9 parents viz., SKY/DR/RS/107 (L1), 3 (L2), IC 69257 (L3), 307-10-1-II (L4), 608-8-1 (T1), 770 (T2), IC 140880 (T3), 137-10-1,2 (T4) and Tiruchi Local (T5) in a Line x Tester mating design. The hybrids along with parents were evaluated in RBD with three replications. The hybrid L2 x T3 was considered the best as it has recorded higher magnitude of heterobeltiosis for plant height at flowering (17.49 per cent), plant height at final harvest (42.95 per cent), leaf area index (64.21 per cent), stem diameter (82.79 per cent), fruit length (22.98 per cent), fruit girth (6.17 per cent), number of fruits plant-1 (42.70 per cent) and yield plant-1 (57.77 per cent). The maximum heterotic vigour was found in L2 x T2 for fruit weight (47.24 per cent) and number of fruits plant-1 (96.67 per cent).

Published: February 2017

The study was carried out during rabi 2013-2014 in 3 times replicated RBD with three intercropping systems (sole fennel, fennel + fenugreek in 1:1 and 1:2 row ratios) and four sulphur levels (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg S/ha). The results revealed that fennel in 1:2 row ratio recorded significantly higher dry matter and yield attributes of fennel as compared to 1:1 row ratio and sole fennel. Intercropping of fennel in 1:2 row ratio significantly reduced seed (10.42 q/ha), straw and biological yields of fennel over 1:1 ratio and sole fennel. The fennel in 1:1 row ratio could not bring significant variation in growth and yield of fennel as compared to sole fennel. However, when system productivity was compared, intercropping in 1:1 row ratio registered significantly highest net monetary returns (Rs 126471/ha) and land equivalent ratio (1.45) in comparison to intercropping in 1:2 ratio and sole fennel. The sulphur at 40 kg/ha significantly increased growth and yield attributes, seed (15.60 q/ha), straw and biological yields and net returns (Rs 100612/ha) of fennel. Application of 40 kg S/ha in fennel intercropping system was found suitable considering input economy as it recorded 42.07 and 13.37% higher seed yield and 60.71 and 17.40% higher net monetary returns over control and application of 20 kg S/ha, respectively.
Swine live weight estimation by adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system
Authors: Shen Mingxia , Okinda Cedric , Liu Longhen , Zhang Guangyue
Published: February 2017

Swine live weight is an important aspect in the production of pork products and also to Stockmen, with reference to market costs, feed conversion, and animal health. The objective of this study was to develop a contactless, stress-free method of swine live weight estimation by machine vision technology. This novel approach was based on image processing for features extraction and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for modelling. Firstly, the model determines which input combination holds the highest predictive ability, secondly, used the feature combination with the best predictive power to correlate to live-weight. The test results showed that the average relative error of our proposed system was about 3% and a standard deviation of 0.7%. Thus, development of a practical imaging system for swine live weight estimation by the proposed method is feasible.
LEXIKÁLNE INTERFERENČNÉ PRVKY VO VOJVODINSKEJ SLOVENČINE
Authors: Makišova Ana
Published: February 2017

Predmetom výskumu sú prejavy vojvodinských Slovákov (písané a hovorené). Slovenčina vo vojvodinskom prostredí sa dennodenne dostáva do kontaktu so srbčinou, čo značne vplýva na vyjadrovanie. Zvlášť je to výrazné u používateľov mladšej populácie, hlavne keď ide o súčasné trendy, nové pomenovania, ktoré sa preberajú zo srbčiny. Kontakt vojvodinskej slovenčiny so srbčinou je prirodzený a nevyhnutný. Vojvodinskí Slováci ovládajú oba jazykové systémy (slovenčinu a srbčinu) dostatočne pre každodenné používanie. Žijeme v bilingválnom prostredí, na dorozumievanie okrem slovenčiny používame aj srbčinu, ktorá ovplyvňuje naše vyjadrovanie. Pod vplyvom srbského jazyka použité lexémy často nadobúdajú inú podobu, nespisovnú a paralelne nastáva posun aj v sémantike (pridať – odovzdať; vypraviť – opraviť; Slováčka – Slovenka; nastaviť – pokračovať a pod).
LEKSIČKA KREATIVNOST U NADIMCIMA SVETSKIH TENISERA
Authors: Panić Kavgić Olga
Published: February 2017

Rad se bavi nadimcima prvih sto tenisera na rang listi Asocijacije teniskih profesionalaca od 2013. do 2015. godine. Opisani nadimci predstavljaju rezultat primene mnogobrojnih i raznovrsnih mehanizama leksičke kreativnosti na gotovo svim nivoima jezičke analize, a pogotovo na morfološkom, sadržinskom (semantičkom, stilističkom i pragmatičkom), fonološkom i ortografskom nivou. Produktivni postupci tvorbe reči kao što su slivanje i abrevijacija, morfosintaksička struktura nadimka kao imeničke sintagme, te nadimci obeleženi kao ameliorativni ili pejorativni predstavljaju samo neke od glavnih aspekata i ishodišta jezičke kreativnosti kojima nadimke dobijaju današnji najpoznatiji i najbolji svetski teniseri. Cilj rada jeste da ponudi analizu, opis i klasifikaciju nadimaka imajući u vidu kreativne potencijale jezika (engleskog i srpskog) na spomenutim nivoima jezičke analize, te time pokaže naučnu relevantnost jednog ovakvog istraživanja koje je zasnovano na korpusu od preko dve stotine nadimaka skupljanih iz različitih izvora u periodu od tri godine. Analiza je sprovedena kvalitativnom metodom, ogledajući se u deskripciji i klasifikaciji odabranih primera, prema kriterijumima relevantnim za odgovarajuće nivoe lingvističke analize. Očekuje se da istraživanje ponudi aktuelnu sliku leksičke kreativnosti u formiranju nadimaka, kako u engleskoj, tako i u srpskoj jezičkoj zajednici koja je u poslednjoj deceniji veoma aktivan činilac u svetu tenisa i svih njegovih propratnih pojava, pa tako i onih jezičkih.
MODEL RUSINSKE PORODICE U VOJVODINI OD SREDINE XVIII DO SREDINE XX VEKA
Authors: Ramač Janko
Published: February 2017

U istoriografiji o Rusinima u Južnoj Ugarskoj/Jugoslaviji nema radova koji se posebno bave pitanjem rusinske porodice. Istina, neki autori koji su pisali o Rusinima još krajem XIX veka, nastojali su da bar u osnovnim crtama prikažu i porodični život Rusina, naročito porodične običaje, ženska i devojačka prela, okupljanja muškaraca u zimskom periodu po mlinovima i zanatlijskim radnjama, okupljanja omladine itd. U novije vreme bilo je pokušaja da se u demografskim analizama sagledaju neki aspekti rusinske porodice: prikazivanjem porodičnih stabala ilustrovan je proces asimilacije, posebno u mešovitim brakovima i u mešovitim sredinama. U ovom radu ćemo nastojati da ilustrujemo neke karakteristične pojave u rusinskoj porodici i da ukažemo smernice daljih istraživanja s ciljem da se traži odgovor na pitanje da li je postojao ili je stvaran neki model rusinske porodice i koji su faktori uticali na njegovo oblikovanje.
MŰFORDÍTÁS, ÚJRAÍRÁS, RECEPCIÓ
Authors: Éva Toldi
Published: February 2017

Ivo Andrić jelentős helyet foglal el a magyar irodalmi gondolkodásban. Műveiről folyamatosan jelennek meg tanulmányok, tárcák sorának címében jelenik meg utalás a Nobel-díjas regényre, a Híd a Drinánra. Poétikája a mai középnemzedék irodalmi affinitásával találkozott, s ennek során mottók és intertextuális áthallások formájában jelentkezik az andrići szövegvilág hatása. Miközben a recepció jelenségeit regisztráljuk, nem téveszthetjük szem elől, hogy Ivo Andrić munkássága nem a szerb eredeti szövegek olvasásán, hanem a fordításokon keresztül fejti ki hatását. Alkotásait pályájának kezdetétől fogva rendszeresen fordították magyar nyelvre. Dolgozatomban arra keresem a választ, hogy a fordítás jellege hogyan határozta meg a recepciót, s vajon hatott-e és hogyan irodalmi hatásának kiteljesedésére. Munkám során André Lefevere elméletéből indulok ki, aki a fordítást – a szövegmanipuláció más formáival egyetemben – újraírásként határozza meg.
JUGONOSTALGIJA U TELEVIZIJSKOJ DOKUMENTARNOJ SERIJI „SFRJ ZA POČETNIKE”
Authors: Drašković Brankica
Published: February 2017

Cilj istraživanja u ovom radu bio je da se kroz analizu diskursa upotrebe sećanja i rekonstrukcije slika u oblikovanju narativnih obrazaca u televizijskoj dokumentarno-zabavnoj seriji „SFRJ za početnike” istraži na koji način se u ovoj vrsti medijskog sadržaja predstavlja jugonostalgija. Da li je u pitanju jeftina i banalizovana prodaja jugoslovenskog sentimenta i utopijska projekcija nečega što nije bilo, da li se lične emocije učesnika i osećaji nadnacionalnog identiteta neminovno izjednačavaju sa komunističkom ideologijom ili sećanja protagonista na proživljeno iskustvo, kao i na celokupan sistem vrednosti na čijim temeljima su sagledavali svet oko sebe, ipak, nosi značenjske odrednice jugonostalgije kao produktivne kategorije. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da analizirana televizijska serija, uprkos zabavnom i humorističkom, ima jasno izražen i diskurs kritičkih kontranarativa koji povrđuju tezu o ispravnosti posmatranja jugonostalgije kao strategije otpora nacionalizmu i kritike urušenog sistema vrednosti u tranzicijskim postjugoslovenskim društvima. Kao važan edukativni medijski sadržaj „SFRJ za početnke” predstavlja poveznicu sa zajedničkim kulturnim nasleđem socijalističke Jugoslavije i nadogradnju terapijskom procesu dekontaminacije sećanja čija konfiskacija je izvršena devedesetih godina pred naletom nacionalističke ideologije u novoosnovanim državama na Zapadnom Balkanu.
O PRVOJ GENERACIJI JAKŠIĆA NA TLU JUŽNE UGARSKE – STEFANU I DMITRU U DELU RERUM UNGARICARUM DEKADES
Authors: Božanić Snežana
Published: February 2017

U radu se prati život prve generacije Jakšića na tlu južne Ugarske, Stefana i Dmitra, kroz analizu spisa italijanskog humaniste Antonija Bonfinija, Rerum Ungaricarum Decades. Fokusirali smo se na prvih osam knjiga četvrte dekade narečenog dela. Podaci o braći Jakšić su direktni, indirektni, a postoje i brojna zbivanja u kojima su uzeli učešće, a da o njima nema pomena kod pisca iz Askolija. Nemoguće je pisati o osvajanju Nađmihalja (1474) i angažovanju Dmitra Jakšića u tom događaju, a da se ne oslanja na Bonfinijevo kazivanje, koje je i poslužilo kao osnovni izvor svim potonjim istraživačima. Dmitar se eksplicitno pominje kao zapovednik barjaktara u ratu Matije Korvina protiv Poljaka (1474). Braća su učestvovala u bici kod Požežene (1476). Jakšići su dali značajan doprinos u borbama ugarskog kralja protiv Fridriha III, na tlu Austrije (1477). Iako detaljno opisuje ustanak Benedikta Vereša iz Farnaša u Transilvaniji, nemamo direkte podatke kod Bonfinija o Jakšićima. Međutim, na osnovu drugih izvora znamo da su bili prisutni i da je ubrzo nakon ove vojne akcije došlo do proširenja nađlačkog vlastelinstva. Po okončanju rata sa Česima (1468-1471), Matija Korvin je »po zasluzi darivao i uzvisio nemali broj saradnika«, među njima i Jakšiće. Vojno angažovanje predstavnika prve generacije Jakšića na tlu južne Ugarske je bilo znatno obimnije u odnosu na Bonfinijevo kazivanje. Susreću se u događajima vezanim za odbranu ugarske granice (1470-1471), značajan doprinos dali su prilikom opsade i osvajanju Šapca (1475-1476), ratu protiv Ali-bega u Banatu (1476), bitkama na Hlebnom polju (1477) i Uni (1483), pohodu na Srbiju 1481. godine. Smrt Dmitra Jakšića (1486) dovela je do značajnog zaoštravnja odnosa između Ugarske i Osmanlija, ali italijanski pisac o tom događaju ne svedoči.
PREDIKCIJA NAMERE ŽENA U SRBIJI DA TRAŽE PROFESIONALNU PSIHOLOŠKU POMOĆ
Authors: Šakotić-Kurbalija Jelena , Trifunović Biljana , Zotović Marija
Published: February 2017

U cilju utvrđivanja u kojoj meri prisustvo stresnih životnih događaja, traženje psihološke podrške iz neformalnih socijalnih izvora i izbor strategija za suočavanje sa stresom, uz kontrolu uticaja različitih sociodemografskih varijabli, doprinose spremnosti žena u Srbiji da traže profesionalnu psihološku pomoć, prikupljeni su podaci na uzorku od 2206 žena, različitog  socio-ekonomskog statusa, starosti od 19 do 76 godina. Namera žena da traže profesionalnu psihološku pomoć operacionalizovana je pitanjem o dosadašnjem iskustvu i planovima za traženje pomoći u budućnosti (Šakotić-Kurbalija, 2011); za procenu stresnih životnih događaja primenjena je modifikovana SLE skala (Survey of Life Events, Bradbury, 1990; modifikacija: Šakotić-Kurbalija, 2011). Brief COPE skalom (Carver, 1997) su ispitane strategije suočavanja sa stresom; dok su od sociodemografskih varijabli prikupljeni podaci o starosti ispitanice, radnom statusu, subjektivnoj proceni visine mesečnih prihoda domaćinstva, stepenu obrazovanja, redosledu rođenja, broju dece i broju članova domaćinstva. Rezultati hijerarhijske višestruke regresione analize pokazuju da je skup analiziranih prediktorskih varijabli statistički značajno povezan sa namerom da se traži profesionalna psihološka pomoć, ali je količina objašnjene varijanse relativno niska. Kao značajni prediktori namere traženja profesionalne psihološke pomoći izdvojeni su: ukupan broj negativnih stresnih događaja koji su se desili u proteklih godinu dana, sklonost ka korišćenju psihoaktivnih supstanci i traženju instrumentalne podrške od drugih, stepen obrazovanja, nekorišćenje poricanja u stresnim situacijama i religioznost. U manjoj meri, ovoj nameri doprinose i nemogućnost oslanjanja na neformalne izvore psihološke podrške, količina pozitivnog stresa, mesečni prihodi domaćinstva i starost ispitanice.

Authors: Sukiyono Ketut , Cahyadinata Indra , Sriyoto NFN
Published: February 2017

Kajian ini menggunakan kerangka konseptual gender dalam menentukan ketahanan pangan. Dengan menggunakan tiga indikator, artikel ini mencoba menunjukkan pengaruh dari status wanita relatif terhadap pria dalam rumah tangga pada ketahanan pangan pada dua rumah tangga yang berbeda basis ekonominya.  Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kabupaten Muko-muko Provinsi Bengkulu. Dua ratus sembilan belas responden yang terdiri dari 110 rumah tangga nelayan dan 109 rumah tangga petani padi dipilih dengan menggunakan sampling acak sederhana.  Model regresi berganda akan digunakan untuk menentukan faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap ketahanan pangan rumah tangga.  Diantara dua kelompok rumah tangga dan dengan menggunakan ragam pangan sebagai indikator ketahanan pangan rumah tangga, rumah tangga nelayan menunjukkan derajat ketahanan pangan relatif lebih baik dibandingkan rumah tangga petani padi. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa status wanita tidak menunjukkan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap ketahanan pangan rumah tangga meskipun semua memiliki tanda yang sesuai.  Sementara itu, pendapatan rumah tangga dan basis ekonomi rumah tangga mempunyai pengaruh yang nyata terhadap ketahanan pangan rumah tangga.

English
Food issue, including food security issue, is a part of agriculture concern. One way to overcome the problems of food is to diversify household food consumption. How household decide their food consumption is depending on their food share allocation pattern and food demand. Objectives of this research are (1) to analyze household food share allocation pattern in West Java Province, and (2) to analyze household food demand in West Java Province. This research used secondary data, i.e. Susenas (National Socio-Economic Survey) in 2015. The study found that household income is still low. Most urban households consume cooked food and beverages, while most rural households consume grains. Changes in income and food prices will not significantly affect the household's demand for food because almost of all variables are basic commodities (inelastic goods) for households in West Java Province.

Indonesia
Permasalahan pangan, termasuk isu ketahanan pangan, merupakan bagian dari permasalahan pertanian. Salah satu cara untuk mengatasi permasalahan pangan adalah dengan melakukan diversifikasi pangan. Konsumsi rumah tangga dipengaruhi oleh pola alokasi pengeluaran pangan dan permintaan pangan mereka. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah (1) menganalisis pola alokasi pengeluaran pangan rumah tangga di Provinsi Jawa Barat dan (2) menganalisis elastisitas harga dan pendapatan rumah tangga di Provinsi Jawa Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder, yaitu data Susenas tahun 2015. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pendapatan rumah tangga di Provinsi Jawa Barat masih rendah. Rumah tangga di perkotaan paling banyak mengeluarkan konsumsi pangan untuk kelompok makanan dan minuman jadi, sedangkan rumah tangga perdesaan pada kelompok padi-padian. Perubahan pendapatan dan harga pangan tidak memengaruhi permintaan pangan secara signifikan karena hampir semua variabel yang digunakan merupakan barang pokok (barang inelastis) bagi rumah tangga di Provinsi Jawa Barat.
Subgluteal sciatic nerve block in a patient with haemorrhagic shock
Authors: Petrisor Cristina , Muresan Marius , Sallum Yusef
Published: February 2017

Regional anaesthesia is not recommended in patients with haemorrhagic shock. This case report aims to raise awareness amongst anaesthetists that regional anaesthesia should be considered in selected cases of moderate haemorrhagic shock. We describe the use of an isolated sciatic nerve block in a morbidly obese patient, with moderate haemorrhagic shock due to arterial bleeding in the popliteal region. A subgluteal approach under real‐time ultrasound guidance, together with the use of peripheral nerve stimulation, aided rapid placement and onset of the regional anaesthesia block.

The objective of the research was to estimate the microbiological quality of feed and fodder components for the occurrence of Salmonella produced in the area monitored by the Department of Veterinary Hygiene in Olsztyn in the period 2010–2015. The compilation was prepared on the basis on the data of the Department of Veterinary Hygiene in Olsztyn. The research was performed according to the requirements of Polish Standard PN-EN ISO 6579. In the Warmia and Mazury Provinces in the period 2010–2015, 6 109 fodder samples were tested. 54 samples gave positive results, which accounted for 0.88%. In 2010, 1 537 samples were tested. Whereas in the years: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 the number of samples tested was, consecutively: 1 187; 950; 1 304; 659 and 472. At this time, the most contaminated feed materials were rapeseed meal, which accounted for 5.81%. This feed material has had the highest degree of fodder contamination with Salmonella, and is represented as a good substrate for the development of bacteria. Afterwards, fishmeal was contaminated for 3.13% and soybean meal – 3.02%. The rarest contaminated materials for fodder production was meat and bone meal (0.28%). The results from the area monitored by the Department of Veterinary Hygiene in Olsztyn are similar to the levels of contamination reported in other years in the Warmia and Mazury. Technological advances and increasingly stringent control systems make it possible to reduce the degree of contamination of feed with Salmonella. However, it needs to be remembered that Salmonella is common in the environment. The bacteria has a high ability for survival. It is not possible for it to be completely eliminated.
Numerical and experimental study of the fundamental flow characteristics of a 3D gully box under drainage
Authors: Lopes Pedro , Carvalho Rita F. , Leandro Jorge
Published: February 2017

Numerical studies regarding the influence of entrapped air on the hydraulic performance of gullies are nonexistent. This is due to the lack of a model that simulates the air-entrainment phenomena and consequently the entrapped air. In this work, we used experimental data to validate an air-entrainment model that uses a Volume-of-Fluid based method to detect the interface and the Shear-stress transport k-ω turbulence model. The air is detected in a sub-grid scale, generated by a source term and transported using a slip velocity formulation. Results are shown in terms of free-surface elevation, velocity profiles, turbulent kinetic energy and discharge coefficients. The air-entrainment model allied to the turbulence model showed a good accuracy in the prediction of the zones of the gully where the air is more concentrated.

Published: February 2017

Pneumoperitônio é a técnica de insuflação com gás da cavidade peritoneal necessária para que haja uma boa visualização das estruturas anatômicas na cirurgia videolaparoscópica. Todavia, diversas alterações fisiológicas são relatadas em decorrência do pneumoperitônio, quais sejam por deslocamento e compressão de estruturas como o diafragma, alterando a fisiologia respiratória, e a veia cava caudal, comprometendo o pré-carga e o débito cardíaco, ou por efeitos sistêmicos decorrentes da absorção de CO2, por exemplo. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as alterações hemodinâmicas do pneumoperitônio com CO2 em gatas anestesiadas. Foram utilizadas 10 gatas sadias, adultas, premedicadas com cloridrato de cetamina e midazolam e anestesiadas com isoflurano e submetidas a OSH por cirurgia laparoscópica com insuflação abdominal por CO2. As pressões diastólica, sistólica e média foram avaliadas de maneira invasiva por cateterização da artéria femoral e mensurada por um monitor multiparamétrico antes e depois do estabelecimento do pneumoperitônio. Os resultados foram formatados e submetidos à análise de variância e posteriormente analisados pelo teste t de Student e teste Tukey. As alterações em PAS, PAD e PAM observadas no decorrer dos procedimentos, entretanto, não configuraram diferenças estatísticas conforme as análises realizadas. Conclui-se, então, que a realização do pneumoperitônio com CO2 não provoque alterações relevantes na pressão arterial em gatas anestesiadas ou que estas alterações sejam fisiologicamente corrigidas por mecanismos compensatórios.

Authors: Bedini Andrea , Spampinato Santi
Published: February 2017

Background:

Chronic pain states are clinically relevant and yet unsolved conditions
impacting on quality of life and representing an important social and economic burden;
these diseases are poorly treated with the currently available drugs, being urgent the need of
innovative analgesics.

In this frame, novel analogues of endomorphin-1 and dermorphin emerge as promising starting
points to develop innovative, more effective analgesics to treat neuropathic pain.

Methods:

An extensive and structured search of bibliographic databases for peer-reviewed
research literature was undertaken using focused review questions; all the retrieved papers
were published on prestigious international journals by the experts of the field and were
carefully analyzed to collect all the information and data necessary to the conceptual framework
of this review.

Results:

One hundred papers were included in this review; forty-one defined the up-to-date
findings on neuropathic pain etiopathogenesis and its currently available treatment options.
Thirty-five papers described all the advantages and drawbacks of using endomorphin-1 (23)
or dermorphin (12) in the frame of neuropathic pain and outlined the most relevant advances
in developing endomorphin-1 and dermorphin analogs useful as potential, innovative analgesics.

Twenty-four papers provided the latest insights into exploiting biased agonism at opioid receptor
as an innovative strategy to develop more effective and safer analgesics.

Conclusion:

This review reports that innovative opioid peptides will be of great help in better
understanding the multifaceted scenario of neuropathic pain treatment, providing very
interesting opportunities for the identification of novel and more effective opioid analgesics
to be employed as medications.
The Development of Oncolytic Adenovirus Therapy in the Past and Future - For the Case of Pancreatic Cancer
Authors: Sato-Dahlman Mizuho , Yamamoto Masato
Published: February 2017

Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive malignant disease and the efficacy of current treatments
for unresectable diseases is quite limited despite recent advances. Gene therapy /virotherapy
strategies may provide new options for the treatment of various cancers including pancreatic cancer.
Oncolytic adenovirus shows an antitumoral effect via its intratumoral amplification and strong cytocidal
effect in a variety of cancers and it has been employed for the development of potent oncolytic
virotherapy agents for pancreatic cancer. Our ultimate goal is to develop an oncolytic adenovirus
enabling the treatment of patients with advanced or spread diseases by systemic injection. Systemic
application of oncolytic therapy mandates more efficient and selective gene delivery and needs to
embody sufficient antitumor effect even with limited initial delivery to the tumor location. In this review,
the current status of oncolytic adenoviruses from the viewpoints of vector design and potential
strategies to overcome current obstacles for its clinical application will be described. We will also
discuss the efforts to improve the antitumor activity of oncolytic adenovirus, in in vivo animal models,
and the combination therapy of oncolytic adenovirus with radiation and chemotherapy.

In Japan, the Cancer Control Act was passed in 2006. Consequently, our
center has been proactively conducting palliative care promotions. Concerning health
insurance coverage, the “Cancer Counseling Fee” became payable for health insurance
remuneration as of April 2010. The cancer counseling fee covers the service provided
to patients diagnosed with malignant tumors in an environment with sufficient
consideration of their psychological states. Physicians with experience in cancer
treatment and full-time nurses with experience with cancer patients collaborate to
explain and consult with patients to allow them to select a line of treatment upon full
understanding of and consent to diagnoses and treatment methods. At our center,
cancer patients are offered cancer counseling in all clinical departments, and an
explanation by a pathologist in a pathology clinic plays an important role in performing
well-organized cancer counseling.

When explaining the diagnosis to patients in the pathology clinic, the pathologist also
attends to the patients’ emotions while listening to their anxieties and empathizing with
their pain. Patients that accurately understand the conditions of their illness and the
treatment’s policies and effects are more likely to consent to the explanation by the
attending physician and proactively accept the standard therapy by the attending
physician, which increases medical compliance. The combination of the explanation by a pathologist in the pathology clinic and cancer counseling by a nurse can improve the
mental disposition of these patients.
Novel Strategy for Treatment in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Targeting Systemic and Adipose Tissue Inflammation
Authors: Kamei Nozomu
Published: February 2017

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a global health issue and developing new therapies
continues to be urgent. Inflammation is thought to participate in the pathogenesis of
obesity-induced insulin resistance and T2D, and is a potential target to treat this
disease. Circulating white blood cell (WBC) number or C-reactive protein (CRP)
concentration, which is a representative blood marker of the inflammation, can predict
the incidence of T2D. Recent studies have shown that obesity is accompanied by
chronic local inflammation in adipose tissue and increments of adipose tissue
macrophage (ATM) number. ATMs are involved in the deterioration of systemic
insulin sensitivity, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) contributes to the
migration of macrophages into fat and development of insulin resistance. Salicylate and
thiazolidinedione (TZD) affect immune cells in circulating blood or adipose tissue,
which leads to improved insulin sensitivity systemically. Pharmacological intervention
for chronic inflammation may provide a new approach to the treatment of T2D in the
future.
The Role of DNA Methylation as A Biomarker in Lung Cancer: Prognostic Prediction and Early Detection
Authors: Harada Hiroaki , Miyamoto Kazuaki , Kuwahara Masaki , Yamashita Yoshinori
Published: February 2017

DNA methylation is the main mechanism of epigenetic gene silencing that
regulates gene expression without altering the DNA sequence, and the promoter
methylation of various genes has been demonstrated to be involved in the development
and/or progression of lung cancer. The growing body of evidence shows that DNA
methylation of several specific genes has been identified as molecular biomarkers that
accurately predict the outcome of disease. Additionally, in an effort for early detection
of lung cancer, the effect of analyzing DNA methylation in several remote media has
also been investigated. Here, recent achievements regarding the role of DNA
methylation as a biomarker for prognostic prediction and early detection in lung cancer
are reviewed.

Published: February 2017

Objective: Self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) have been employed as a palliative
treatment for patients with obstructive colorectal cancer or as bridge to surgery for
potentially resectable colorectal cancer (CRC). However, concerns have been raised
about whether shear forces that act on the tumor during expansion of the stent may
result in a release of cancer cells into the circulation (i.e., CTCs). This study was
conducted to determine whether insertion of colonic stents results in increased levels of
CTCs.

Methods: Between October 2013 and November 2013, three patients who underwent
colonic stent insertion for obstructing colorectal cancer were studied. To detect viable
CTCs of CRC, we employed a TelomeScanF35 detection system, which was
constructed with a GFP-expressing attenuated adenovirus, in which the telomerase
promoter regulates viral replication. 7.5ml of peripheral blood samples were obtained
before and after stent insertion and after operation.

Results: Three patients were inserted SEMS and performed laparoscopic surgery. In one of these 3 patients, CTCs increased after stent insertion and continued in
expression after the operation.

Conclusions: This study demonstrated that endoscopic stent insertion results in
dissemination of tumor cells into the peripheral circulation. Although oncological
consequences were not examined in this small population, viable CTC detected by
TelomeScanF35 may represent a suitable prognostic marker to stratify the risk of
patients with distant metastasis following stent insertion for obstructing colon cancer.

Published: February 2017

Minimally invasive surgery for liver resection still remains controversial.
The present study was designed to compare open versus laparoscopic liver resection
(LLR).

Between January 2012 and December 2013, LLR was performed on 30 patients at our
institution. We performed partial hepatectomy through a pure laparoscopic method and
anatomical hepatectomy by a laparoscopy-assisted method. We performed a
retrospective review of these patients.

The study comprised 25 men and 5 women with a mean age of 70.5 years. All patients
had a liver function of Child-Turcott-Pugh classification A. The mean diameter of the
tumors was 20.8 mm. Thirteen cases were resected by the pure method and 17 cases
underwent the hybrid method. Nineteen patients underwent partial hepatectomy, 8
patients underwent subsegmentectomy, and 3 patients underwent segmentectomy.
Mean intra-operative bleeding was 403.7 ml, and mean operating time was 316.4 min.
No patients developed severe postoperative complications. We compared 19
laparoscopic partial hepatectomies (LLR-P) with 9 open partial hepatectomies.
Although, no significant differences were observed in perioperative factors, both length
of hospital stay and the frequency of analgesic administration were significantly reduced in LLR-P. Furthermore, we compared 13 laparoscopic (sub) segmentectomies
(LLR-S) with 11 open cases. The operation time of LLR-S were longer than those of
open cases, whereas no significant differences were detected in blood loss in these
procedures. All length of hospital stay favored the LLR-S group.

In these series comparing laparoscopic and open liver resections, there were no severe
complications observed in the LLR group and there was significant rapid recovery in
the LLR group, even for resections involving (sub) segmentectomy by the hybrid
method.

Published: February 2017

Liquid-based cytology (LBC) has been adopted widely throughout the world.
However, diagnosis for glandular abnormalities still remains difficult.

LBC and conventional Papanicolaou smear (CS) were compared for cytological
diagnosis by a split- sample method. The results showed that LBC reliability is near to
that of CS for screening of glandular malignant lesions.

Herein, we detail the results of 69 cases analyses that were diagnosed as a glandular
abnormality by the TP method among a total of 11,092 cases. The TP method resulted
in the same diagnosis of CS as either AGC or adenocarcinoma in 54 cases (78.3%), upgrading
in four cases (5.8%), and down-grading in seven cases (10.1%). From detailed
analysis of individual cases, it is thought that one cause of discrepancy was the
characteristic morphology of the cells and clusters that appeared in TP samples.

These results suggest that adequate knowledge of the characteristic features of
glandular lesions in LBC could contribute to a more accurate diagnosis and to shifting
to LBC for cervical cancer screening.
Adiponectin, Its Roles in Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease
Authors: Matsuda Morihiro , Tamura Ritsu , Kawamoto Toshiharu
Published: February 2017

The recent increase in obesity is a worldwide social problem. Because
obesity leads to the enormous increases in the patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and
coronary artery disease (CAD), it has become a growing health threat. Many
researchers have found that various bioactive molecules released from adipose tissues,
which are conceptualized as adipocytokines/adipokines, are involved in the
pathogenesis of obesity-associated diseases. Adiponectin is an adipocytokine that
exerts insulin-sensitizing effects in the liver and skeletal muscle and suppresses
atherosclerosis in vascular walls via various anti-inflammatory effects. Clinically,
circulating adiponectin levels inversely correlate with body mass index (BMI), which
may explain the molecular basis that underlies obesity-associated development of DM
and CAD. Many clinical studies have demonstrated that low circulating adiponectin
levels are associated with the incidence of DM and CAD.

Recently, we showed that reduced adiponectin levels were associated with multi-vessel
coronary artery atherosclerosis as detected on computed tomography coronary
angiography (CTCA), and adiponectin may be a useful biomarker to predict multivessel
coronary atherosclerosis when detected using CTCA in combination with
common risk factors including age, sex, DM, and hypertension. Moreover, in another
study, we showed that reduced adiponectin levels were associated with elevated serum
oxidized low-density lipoprotein levels in which dyslipidemic components of metabolic
syndrome were strongly involved. Thus, adiponectin levels are associated directly and indirectly with the development of atherosclerosis.

Measuring adiponectin concentration should provide beneficial information for the
selection of high-risk patients and contribute to the reduction of fatal CAD by applying
aggressive preventive therapy.
