The Cortical Bone Trajectory for Pedicle Screw Insertion
Authors: Kaye I. David , Prasad Srinivas K. , Vaccaro Alex R. , Hilibrand Alan S.
Published: August 2017

➢ The cortical bone trajectory takes advantage of a cortically based track through the pedicle, which may result in improved fixation strength compared with a traditionally placed pedicle screw.

➢ The cortical track is a medially to laterally, caudally to cranially directed path that allows for less soft-tissue dissection during insertion, making it amenable to minimally invasive techniques and useful in cases of trauma and adjacent segment disease.

➢ Complications with this new technology have been low, and outcome studies have demonstrated excellent fusion rates as well as maintenance of reduction in cases of spondylolisthesis.

➢ Early promising results should be tempered with reports of failure during early implementation; a learning curve exists and ultimately, larger, prospective, high-quality studies are necessary before the advantages of cortical screw instrumentation can truly be quantified.
Risk and Reward: The Woman Question
Authors: Judah Janeen
Published: August 2017

President's column

For my thirteenth and final column as SPE president, I saved the subject that I am asked about most often. After every speech, I am asked some form of “the woman question.” What’s it been like to be a woman in the oil and gas industry? How do you manage work/life balance? Are there opportunities for women in our industry? I am the fourth woman SPE president, but it has been 11 years since the last one, making me the only female president of this generation. So, I make a point to be visible to the technical women in our industry and give them my frank perspective on what my journey has been like.

I vividly remember 4 November 1980—as Ronald Reagan was announced as the newly elected US president, I was eating dinner at the old Petroleum Club in Midland, Texas. I was in town for a job interview, and it was the first time I had dinner with a table of executives who were evaluating me. The club was about to move from the old mansion to a modern facility, but the Petroleum Club was still stuck in the past—women were not allowed to join. I had just turned 21, had a month until I graduated with my petroleum engineering degree, and was ready to embark on my long career. I thought that the 1970s women’s rights movement had changed the workplace for all of us and that the “gender wars” were over.

I was wrong.

What is it like to be a woman in a male-dominated industry?

I can’t think of any profession that isn’t male-dominated, except perhaps nurses, teachers, and social workers. Most workplaces are predominantly male, so women must learn to work within that environment. Women in the oil industry must be at least as—and usually more—competent than their male colleagues. To succeed or even just survive, we must learn to speak “their language” and act in a more “male way” at work. I believe that is where the stress comes in, where women must constantly shift between their more “female” socialized roles at home and a more “male” work environment—much like speaking one language at work and a different language at home. The switching gets easier, but it’s never completely seamless.

Why is the oil and gas industry so hard on women?

It’s not just my opinion that the oil industry is significantly harder on women than most other industries; studies prove it. McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.org partnered in a comprehensive study of the state of women in corporate America, Women in the Workplace 2016.
Clouds are Forming Around the Upstream Sector, and That’s a Good Thing
Authors: Jacobs Trent
Published: August 2017

The oil and gas business knows that it is on the slow track when it comes to leveraging many of the latest digital technologies. However, this may be a bit of an overstatement when discussing the influence of cloud computing—which allows businesses to crunch data faster than ever before thanks to a nearly unlimited ability to scale up processing power.

Fatima Alsubhi is the chief executive officer of Certis Information Services, a Houston-based information management firm that has helped some of the biggest names in the oil field transition their data and files into the cloud. That experience tells her that cloud platforms are well on their way to becoming the norm in the upstream business, comparable to how advanced oilfield software became mainstream years ago.

“If someone says they increased reliability by 10%, you know part of that is because of the use of software—and now it’s the same thing happening with the cloud,” she explained, adding that the early adopters no longer see cloud services as simply rented server space.

The growing consensus is that cloud platforms combined with software-as-a-service represent a powerful data tool, the limits of which have only begun to be tested. “This is going to evolve and keep moving forward because it just makes sense,” emphasized Alsubhi. “The cloud is cheaper, it’s faster, and it’s easier.”

Plenty of others appear to be in agreement. Take for instance just a few news items from July including an announcement that BP is transferring proprietary information out of its own data centers and into Microsoft’s Azure cloud-based analytics processing platform.

The shift is notable because it represents the latest step in BP’s strategy to shutter its on-premises data centers and fully embrace public cloud platforms. At a recent conference the company said the effort has already cut its IT costs by around 40%.

Also in July, ConocoPhillips made clear its feelings about cloud technology by appointing the founder of a cloud-based analytics company to its board of directors. Around the same time, Amazon Web Services noted in a press release that Halliburton’s Landmark software product line is among the earliest users of its newest cloud product built to support intensive 3D visualizations and virtual reality applications.

These examples all highlight how big oil is warming to the biggest players in cloud technology. But because the cloud market is growing at a far faster rate than traditional IT spend, more small and medium-sized oil and gas producers are expected to begin following suit.
Consumption of edible ice contaminated with Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, and Stenotrophomonas is a risk factor for fecal colonization with extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli in Vietnam

Published: August 2017

Although Vietnamese residents frequently harbor extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-E), it is unclear which foods/beverages are risk factors for acquiring these bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency with which edible ice served in restaurants is contaminated with antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and thereby clarify whether this product poses a risk for ESBL-E carriage in humans. Ice from restaurants in Vietnam and Japan was screened for bacteria capable of growing on agar containing cefotaxime (BG-CTX). Of the 119 BG-CTX strains isolated in Vietnam, 40%, 39%, and 12% were identified as Pseudomonas spp., Acinetobacter spp., and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, respectively. Meanwhile, of the six such strains isolated in Japan, five were identified as Acinetobacter spp. and one as Pseudomonas spp. More than 10% of the Acinetobacter isolates exhibited cefotaxime, ceftazidime, and sulfa/trimethoprim resistance, while 21% of Pseudomonas and 14% of S. maltophilia isolates exhibited meropenem and sulfa/trimethoprim resistance, respectively. Subsequent multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses detected ESBL-encoding genes in 10% of the BG-CTX. Notably, feces harvested from mice administered water contaminated with BG-CTX contained E. coli harboring the blaCTX-M-9 gene. In conclusion, our findings indicate that consumption of contaminated edible ice is a risk factor for human ESBL-E carriage.

Authors: Wibowo Heri
Published: August 2017

This study aimed to reduce levels of distortion welding through Clamping method so that the parameters of the most optimal Clamping against distortion and cracking resistance would be recognized. The method was applied to the workpiece Clamping before welding by 5 methods that include: without Clamping, 2 points Clamping, 4 points Clamping, 6 points Clamping and 4 points + fulcrum campling. The tests carried out on the workpiece welding include: distortions test (angles, curves and twisting) and shrinkage tests (transverse and longitudinal) and bending test for crack resistance. The results show that Clamping method is capable on reducing the level of distortion due to the welding process. Four Clamping method is considered the most optimal point in reducing the level of distortion with 2.2 angular distortion, 3.2 mm bending distortion, and without twist distortion. Bending testing shows that Clamping method does not degrade the quality of welded joints based on the acceptance of all bending test specimen

Comunidades quilombolas do sertão de Pernambuco: diálogos sociopolíticos na construção de uma educação emancipatória
Authors: Silva Luclécia C. M. , Carvalho Neto Moisés Felix de , Busso Adriana Fernanda
Published: August 2017

Os povos quilombolas possuem uma longa história de luta por uma educação dequalidade, sobretudo os povos do Semiárido nordestino. Assim, a partir de dispositivos normativos e da luta dos movimentos sociais, houve um grande avanço na criação  de diversas politicas públicas, destacando-se os programas educacionais destinados à valorização da diversidade sociocultural no campo. Sabendo disso, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar as relações e contribuições de aspectos sociopolíticos na construção de uma educação emancipatória em comunidades quilombolas insertadas no contexto do Semiárido nordestino. Optou-se pela pesquisa e abordagem qualitativa,de caráter exploratório e de base etnográfica, com procedimentos metodológicos, como: observações diretas, entrevistas semiestruturadas, grupos focais, caminhadas transversais, registros fotográficos, entre outros, com posterior triangulação dos dados. Verificou-se que os processos educativos se mostram o diferencial no empoderamento e tomada de decisões relativas à reafirmação de uma alteridade que estão cotidianamente ressignificando na luta pela valorização quilombola. Assim, empreende-se que as ações públicas de fortalecimento do patrimônio cultural e imaterial desses grupos sociais não serão efetivadas apenas pela existência de uma legislação específica paraeducação escolar quilombola, mas dependem muito mais do esforço em conjunto e integrado dos coletivos quilombolas na busca pelo respeito ao éthos (modo de ser) quilombola na elaboração das atividades pedagógicas que respeitem as especificidades locais e perpetuem os elementos culturais que constroem a identidade étnica de cada comunidade.
The Effects of Social Support on the Relationship between Infant Sleep and Postnatal Depression
Authors: King Yaroslava
Published: August 2017

To date, research on social support as a factor affecting the relationship between infant sleep and postnatal depression (PND) has not been widely examined.  This study aimed to determine the extent to which social support affects this relationship. The sample consisted of 108 caregivers of children between 6-18 months of age. Participants completed an online survey comprised of the Edinburgh PostnatalDepression Scale, The Social Provisions Scale and The Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire. Results indicated that parents of children who were sleep disturbed had higher levels of PND and less social support. Correlations between PND and nocturnal sleep (r = -.231, p = .016) and nocturnal wakefulness (r = -.228, p = .018) were significant. Social support was also significantly correlated with nocturnal sleep (r = .329, p = .001) and nocturnal wakefulness (r = .199, p = .039). A significant negative relationship between social support and PND was found (r = -.539, p = .000). No moderating effect of social support on the relationship between child sleep disturbance and PND was found for either sleep variables (b = -0.014, 95% CI [-0.099, 0.071], t = -0.33, p = .745; b = 0 .065, 95% CI [-0.267, 0.396], t = 0.39, p = .700).  Overall, the results conclude that social support has a substantial impact on both PND and a child’s sleep problems. Although a significant moderating effect of social support was not found, the significant correlations reveal that further research is needed.
ANCA Glomerulonephritis and Vasculitis
Authors: Jennette J. Charles , Nachman Patrick H.
Published: August 2017

ANCA vasculitis has an associated autoimmune response that produces ANCAs that induce distinct pathologic lesions. Pauci-immune necrotizing and crescentic GN is a frequent component of ANCA vasculitis. ANCA vasculitis is associated with ANCA specific for myeloperoxidase (MPO-ANCA) or proteinase 3 (PR3-ANCA). A diagnosis of ANCA vasculitis should always specify the serotype as MPO-ANCA positive, PR3-ANCA positive, or ANCA-negative. To fully characterize a patient, the serotype also should be accompanied by the clinicopathologic variant if this can be determined: microscopic polyangiitis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg–Strauss), or renal-limited vasculitis. ANCA vasculitis is most prevalent in individuals >50 years old. There are racial/ethnic and geographic influences on the prevalence, serotype frequencies, and clinicopathologic phenotypes. There is clinical, in vitro, and animal model evidence that ANCAs cause disease by activating neutrophils to attack small vessels. Immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive therapies are used to induce remission, maintain remission, and treat relapses. Over recent years, there have been major advances in optimizing treatment by minimizing toxic therapy and utilizing more targeted therapy.
The Impact of Monolingual Dictionaries on Reading Comprehension among Sudanese English Majors
Authors: Elhaj Abuelgasim Abdelbagi
Published: August 2017

Vocabulary is recognized as a central aspect of mastery of the language and the use of monolingual dictionaries is regarded as a crucial tool in determining meanings of words in reading exercises. This paper aims at exploring the effects of dictionaries on reading appreciation among Sudanese students. The reading comprehension test was a replication of the text used in an experiment by Nesi and Meara (1992). Its rationale is simple: since monolingual dictionaries are designed to help in reading comprehension, it is reasonable to assume that dictionary users will score significantly better than non-dictionary users. The study sample comprised 50 students from a Public Sudanese university, with half the students carrying out the test using monolingual dictionaries and the other half without this aid. Dictionary users were asked to tick the words they had looked up and to write down their meanings. The meanings selected were matched with the original context, and judgment was made as to whether the degree of correctness had affected the scores. The results indicate that no statistically significant differences exist between the two groups. This conclusion contradicts the bulk of research and the researcher proposes a number of explanations for this apparent failure. It is suggested that the poor reference skills of the subjects is the major responsible factor.
Laramide to Miocene syn-extensional plutonism in the Puerta del Sol area, central Sonora, Mexico
Authors: González-Becuar Elizard , Pérez-Segura Efrén , Vega-Granillo Ricardo , Solari Luigi , González-León Carlos Manuel , Solé Jesús , López Martínez Margarita
Published: August 2017

Plutonic rocks of the Puerta del Sol area, in central Sonora, represent the extension to the south of the El Jaralito batholith, and are part of the footwall of the Sierra Mazatán metamorphic core complex, whose low-angle detachment fault bounds the outcrops of plutonic rocks to the west. Plutons in the area record the magmatic evolution of the Laramide arc and the Oligo-Miocene syn-extensional plutonism in Sonora. The basement of the area is composed by the ca. 1.68 Ga El Palofierral orthogneiss that is part of the Caborca block. The Laramide plutons include the El Gato diorite (71.29 ± 0.45 Ma, U-Pb), the El Pajarito granite (67.9 ± 0.43 Ma, U-Pb), and the Puerta del Sol granodiorite (49.1 ± 0.46 Ma, U-Pb). The younger El Oquimonis granite (41.78 ± 0.32 Ma, U-Pb) is considered part of the scarce magmatism that in Sonora records a transition to the Sierra Madre Occidental magmatic event. The syn-extensional plutons are the El Garambullo gabbro (19.83 ± 0.18 Ma, U-Pb) and the Las Mayitas granodiorite (19.2 ± 1.2 Ma, K-Ar). A migmatitic event that affected the El Palofierral orthogneiss, El Gato diorite, and El Pajarito granite between ca. 68 and 59 Ma might be related to the emplacement of the El Pajarito granite. The plutons are metaluminous to slightly peraluminous, with the exception of El Oquimonis granite, which is a peraluminous two-mica, garnet-bearing granite. They are mostly high-K calc-alkaline with nearly uniform chondrite-normalized REE and primitive-mantle normalized multielemental patterns that are characteristic of continental margin arcs and resemble patterns reported for other Laramide granites of Sonora. The Laramide and syn-extensional plutons also have Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic ratios that plot within the fields reported for Laramide granites emplaced in the Caborca terrane in northwestern and central Sonora. Nevertheless, and despite their geochemical affinity to continental magmatic arcs, the El Garambullo gabbro and Las Mayitas granodiorite are syn-extensional plutons that were emplaced at ca. 20 Ma during development of the Sierra Mazatán metamorphic core complex. The 40Ar/39Ar and K-Ar ages obtained for the El Palofierral orthogneiss, the Puerta del Sol granodiorite, the El Oquimonis granite, and the El Garambullo gabbro range from 26.3 ± 0.6 to 17.4 ± 1.0 Ma and are considered cooling ages associated with the exhumation of the metamorphic core complex.
Modelo petrofísico del borde oriental de las sierras de Valle Fértil- La Huerta, Argentina a partir de datos sísmicos y petrológicos

Published: August 2017

This paper is a contribution to the knowledge of the crustal structure of the eastern flank of the Valle Fértil - La Huerta ranges (Western Sierras Pampeanas, San Juan, Argentina) at 31°S, in the Andean foreland region, where the Nazca plate is subducting horizontally at about 100 km depth. A 1D velocity model was constrained, combining petrographic and seismological observations from analysis of 19 igneous and metaigneous plutonic rocks belonging to the Famatinian (Ordovician) magmatic arc, which make up most of the crystalline basement of these ranges. Granitoid lithologies predominate in the northern region whereas mafic lithologies are more common to the south. The seismological analysis consisted of modeling teleseismic receiver functions near three seismological stations: LUNA, MAJA and CHUC, in places where those rocks are dominant. Thus, P and S seismic-wave velocities (Vp and Vs) and Poisson´s coefficient (ν), among other elastic parameters, were obtained. The seismic velocity model indicates an overthickened crust with an average thickness between 55 and 60 km, which matches with global average values (~41km); this agrees well with the hypothesis of partial eclogitization in the lower crust. The presence of two seismic velocity discontinuities at mid-crustal levels (12 and 28 km depths), likely associated to décollements, might be related to the accretion of the Cuyania terrane to the Pampia terrane. We obtained low P seismic-wave velocities (Vp ~5.8 km/s), Vp/Vs ratio (~1.70) in upper crust levels consistent with granitoid lithologies, as well as high P seismic-wave velocities (Vp ~6.76 km/s), Vp/Vs ratio (~1.78) in lower crust levels; these figures match with mafic lithologies of a more dense (~3.00 g/cm3),  lower crust with respect to other back-arc Andean regions. Also, these values are consistent with the existence of mafic rocks composed of olivine, ortho- and clinopyroxene, which constitute the root of the Famatinian magmatic arc. These results indicate high-grade metamorphic conditions and depths corresponding to geophysical properties of middle to lower crust and correlate with the hypothesis of a dehydrated, cool and magnesium-enriched mantle located in the region between the subducted Nazca slab and the bottom of the Cuyania terrain crust.

Bats in the Belfry: On the Relationship of Cybernetics and German Media Theory
Authors: Müggenburg Jan
Published: August 2017

Background When German media theory (GMT) took shape in the early 1980s it was influenced by cybernetic concepts; however, it eventually discovered the history of cybernetics as an object of research.

Analysis The article follows the assumption that GMT’s double reference to cybernetics must be characterized as the result of both a shared epistemology and a specific discursive constellation. After contrasting McCulloch’s concept of a synthetic physiological a priori and Kittler’s concept of a technological a priori it examines how GMT adopted concepts from cybernetics, and how its members eventually became fascinated by the history of cybernetics.

Conclusion and implications The article concludes that the double reference to cybernetics explains its special role in GMT, while raising problems for GMT’s current fascination with cybernetics.

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os efeitos na taxa de crescimento do desenvolvimento dos municípios paranaenses exercidos pelo grau de dependência das transferências intergovernamentais, representadas sobretudo pelo Fundo de Participação dos Municípios (FPM), bem como pelas despesas de investimento. Para tanto, é empregado um modelo econométrico de regressão baseado no método de Mínimos Quadrados Ordinários (MQO). A amostra é composta de 349 municípios paranaenses no período de 2002 a 2013. Os resultados indicam uma relação positiva entre o grau de dependência dos orçamentos dos governos locais quanto ao FPM e à taxa de crescimento do índice de desenvolvimento, ou seja, o aumento da dependência das transferências estimula a evolução do desenvolvimento dos municípios paranaenses. Por fim, o artigo, com base nos dados apresentados, ratifica a importância da aplicação de mecanismos de coordenação das ações entre os diversos níveis de governo para a efetiva viabilização do processo de redução das desigualdades intermunicipais.
Emancipatory economic deglobalisation: a Polanyian perspective | Desglobalização econômica emancipatória: uma perspectiva a partir de Polanyi
Authors: Novy Andreas
Published: August 2017

The article explores the potential of a Polanyian analysis for overcoming the current Manichean opposition between cosmopolitan globalizers and reactionary nationalists. For long, Karl Polanyi has inspired socio-economic thinking in different ways. First, his reflections on the end of the first period of globalization in the 1930s offer insights for analysing the current political-economic situation. Furthermore, Polanyi contributes to an institutional analysis and utopian thinking towards a civilization for all. His approach enables a combination of a critique of current neoliberal globalization as a renewed version of the "liberal utopia" with a cultural and ecological critique of capitalism as a mode of production and living. In this respect, Karl Polanyi may be contrasted to Friedrich Hayek, both contemporaries of Red Vienna, an ambitious project of local socialism as a step towards a "good life for all". The social and cultural struggles in Vienna during the 1920s and 1930s offer insights for current confrontations worldwide, but especially in Brazil where the reformist attempts of civilizing capitalism where confronted with severe opposition. Instead of the false polarization between globalization and nationalism, policies “for the select few” are opposed to policies” for all”. Finally, Polanyi´s reflections will be used to shed light onto the current impasse resulting from the illegitimate deposition of president Dilma Rousseff.
Constitucionalismo, Estado y territorio en el contexto de la globalización
Authors: Jiménez William Guillermo
Published: August 2017

La globalización muestra que el Estado nacional está perdiendo el monopolio en la producción del derecho y esto genera cambios en cuanto al ámbito de aplicación de los ordenamientos jurídicos estatales y el papel del territorio como límite de los mismos. El objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer un panorama acerca de los impactos de la globalización del derecho en el Estado, la teoría constitucional y el territorio. El estudio se realiza mediante la técnica de la revisión documental acudiendo a la consulta de diversas fuentes. Se concluye que se ha debilitado el modelo westfaliano del Estado nación; sin embargo, la globalización requiere del Estado para funcionar. El derecho se ha desterritorializado, y el territorio sigue siendo un elemento fundamental para el Estado contemporáneo.

Las prácticas de creación artística en el Urabá antioqueño. Patrimonio cultural inmaterial no visibilizado
Authors: Restrepo Martha Helena Valencia
Published: August 2017

Esta investigación presenta un estado del arte sobre las prácticas de creación artística en seis municipios del Urabá antioqueño. Preguntarse por la invisibilidad del artista creador en el contexto de esta zona obliga a revisar, de soslayo, pormenores sociohistóricos de una subregión estratégica en la geografía colombiana cuyas dinámicas económicas, etnográficas y culturales actuales han emergido de la lucha constante en y por un territorio vasto y provisto de grandes riquezas naturales. Con aproximadamente el 50% de población afrodescendiente, el 15% de población indígena y el 35% de población mestiza, la subregión ha forjado un interesante panorama pluricultural privilegiado en expresiones artísticas que se nutren de un sinnúmero de tradiciones y costumbres propias de los grupos humanos que allí convergen; expresiones y prácticas de las cuales muchos de sus creadores no están aún identificados, reconocidos o visibilizados, asunto de competencia de las políticas públicas culturales del Estado colombiano.

Mendelian randomization (MR) provides us the opportunity to investigate the causal paths of metabolites in type 2 diabetes and glucose homeostasis. We developed and tested an MR approach based on genetic risk scoring for plasma metabolite levels, utilizing a pathway-based sensitivity analysis to control for nonspecific effects. We focused on 124 circulating metabolites that correlate with fasting glucose in the Erasmus Rucphen Family (ERF) study (n = 2,564) and tested the possible causal effect of each metabolite with glucose and type 2 diabetes and vice versa. We detected 14 paths with potential causal effects by MR, following pathway-based sensitivity analysis. Our results suggest that elevated plasma triglycerides might be partially responsible for increased glucose levels and type 2 diabetes risk, which is consistent with previous reports. Additionally, elevated HDL components, i.e., small HDL triglycerides, might have a causal role of elevating glucose levels. In contrast, large (L) and extra large (XL) HDL lipid components, i.e., XL-HDL cholesterol, XL-HDL–free cholesterol, XL-HDL phospholipids, L-HDL cholesterol, and L-HDL–free cholesterol, as well as HDL cholesterol seem to be protective against increasing fasting glucose but not against type 2 diabetes. Finally, we demonstrate that genetic predisposition to type 2 diabetes associates with increased levels of alanine and decreased levels of phosphatidylcholine alkyl-acyl C42:5 and phosphatidylcholine alkyl-acyl C44:4. Our MR results provide novel insight into promising causal paths to and from glucose and type 2 diabetes and underline the value of additional information from high-resolution metabolomics over classic biochemistry.

Islet β-cell dysfunction and aggressive macrophage activity are early features in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D). 12/15-Lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX) is induced in β-cells and macrophages during T1D and produces proinflammatory lipids and lipid peroxides that exacerbate β-cell dysfunction and macrophage activity. Inhibition of 12/15-LOX provides a potential therapeutic approach to prevent glycemic deterioration in T1D. Two inhibitors recently identified by our groups through screening efforts, ML127 and ML351, have been shown to selectively target 12/15-LOX with high potency. Only ML351 exhibited no apparent toxicity across a range of concentrations in mouse islets, and molecular modeling has suggested reduced promiscuity of ML351 compared with ML127. In mouse islets, incubation with ML351 improved glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in the presence of proinflammatory cytokines and triggered gene expression pathways responsive to oxidative stress and cell death. Consistent with a role for 12/15-LOX in promoting oxidative stress, its chemical inhibition reduced production of reactive oxygen species in both mouse and human islets in vitro. In a streptozotocin-induced model of T1D in mice, ML351 prevented the development of diabetes, with coincident enhancement of nuclear Nrf2 in islet cells, reduced β-cell oxidative stress, and preservation of β-cell mass. In the nonobese diabetic mouse model of T1D, administration of ML351 during the prediabetic phase prevented dysglycemia, reduced β-cell oxidative stress, and increased the proportion of anti-inflammatory macrophages in insulitis. The data provide the first evidence to date that small molecules that target 12/15-LOX can prevent progression of β-cell dysfunction and glycemic deterioration in models of T1D.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from T cell–mediated destruction of insulin-producing β-cells. Insulin represents a key self-antigen in disease pathogenesis, as recent studies identified proinsulin-responding T cells from inflamed pancreatic islets of organ donors with recent-onset T1D. These cells respond to an insulin B-chain (InsB) epitope presented by the HLA-DQ8 molecule associated with high T1D risk. Understanding insulin-specific T-cell frequency and phenotype in peripheral blood is now critical. We constructed fluorescent InsB10–23:DQ8 tetramers, stained peripheral blood lymphocytes directly ex vivo, and show DQ8+ patients with T1D have increased tetramer+ CD4+ T cells compared with HLA-matched control subjects without diabetes. Patients with a shorter disease duration had higher frequencies of insulin-reactive CD4+ T cells, with most of these cells being antigen experienced. We also demonstrate that the number of insulin tetramer+ effector memory cells is directly correlated with insulin antibody titers, suggesting insulin-specific T- and B-cell interactions. Notably, one of four control subjects with tetramer+ cells was a first-degree relative who had insulin-specific cells with an effector memory phenotype, potentially representing an early marker of T-cell autoimmunity. Our results suggest that studying InsB10–23:DQ8 reactive T-cell frequency and phenotype may provide a biomarker of disease activity in patients with T1D and those at risk.

The purpose of this study was to analyse the dynamics of carbon stocks changes from land cover into land settlement in the Padang City, West Sumatra. Method to formulate the change of land cover into land settlement in the Padang City is the analysis of Landsat Imagery 5+TM 1988, Landsat 7+ETM Image of 1998 and Landsat 7+ETM Image of 2008. Stratified Sampling Technique was Purpose Composite plot refers to the technique, but in this study carried out modification to the size of the plot which is then converted to the extend of each hectare of land cover. Estimating tree biomass using the equation according Kattering allometric, (2001). The result of the research conducted found that the dynamics of carbon stocks always decline from 1988, 1998 and 2008. This is caused by a reduction in forest area, shrubs, gardens, and fields are consistently due to the increased amount of land used for settlement.
