Angiotensin II activates myostatin expression in cultured rat neonatal cardiomyocytes via p38 MAP kinase and myocyte enhance factor 2 pathway
Authors: Wang Bao-Wei , Chang Hang , Kuan Peiliang , Shyu Kou-Gi
Published: March 2008

Angiotensin II (AngII) plays a critical role in cardiac remodeling and promotes cardiac myocyte hypertrophy. Myostatin, a negative regulator of muscle growth, is increased in hypertrophied and infarcted heart. The direct effect of AngII on cardiac myocyte myostatin expression has not been previously investigated. We hypothesized that myostatin may act as a cardiac endocrine inhibitor for AngII. AngII-induced myostatin protein expression in cultured rat neonatal cardiomyocytes was dose-dependent. AngII significantly increased myostatin protein and mRNA expression in a time-dependent manner. Addition of losartan, SB203580, or p38 siRNA 30 min before AngII stimulation significantly blocked the increase of myostatin protein by AngII. AngII significantly increased phosphorylation of p38 while SB205380 and losartan attenuated the phosphorylation of p38 induced by AngII. AngII increased, while myostatin-Mut plasmid, SB203580, losartan, and myocyte enhance factor 2 (MEF-2) antibody abolished the myostatin promoter activity. Co-stimulation with myostatin and AngII significantly inhibited the protein synthesis induced by AngII. In conclusion, AngII enhances myostatin expression in cultured rat neonatal cardiomyocytes. The AngII-induced myostatin is mediated through p38 MAP kinase and MEF-2 pathway.
Lacking thyroid hormone receptor β gene does not influence alterations in peripheral thyroid hormone metabolism during acute illness

Published: March 2008

The downregulation of liver deiodinase type 1 (D1) is supposed to be one of the mechanisms behind the decrease in serum tri-iodothyronine (T3) observed during non-thyroidal illness (NTI). Liver D1 mRNA expression is positively regulated by T3, mainly via the thyroid hormone receptor (TR)β1. One might thus expect that lacking the TRβ gene would result in diminished downregulation of liver D1 expression and a smaller decrease in serum T3 during illness. In this study, we used TRβ−/− mice to evaluate the role of TRβ in lipopolysaccharide (LPS, a bacterial endotoxin)-induced changes in thyroid hormone metabolism. Our results show that the LPS-induced serum T3 and thyroxine and liver D1 decrease takes place despite the absence of TRβ. Furthermore, we observed basal differences in liver D1 mRNA and activity between TRβ−/− and wild-type mice and TRβ−/− males and females, which did not result in differences in serum T3. Serum T3 decreased rapidly after LPS administration, followed by decreased liver D1, indicating that the contribution of liver D1 during NTI may be limited with respect to decreased serum T3 levels. Muscle D2 mRNA did not compensate for the low basal liver D1 observed in TRβ−/− mice and increased in response to LPS in TRβ−/− and WT mice. Other (TRβ independent) mechanisms like decreased thyroidal secretion and decreased binding to thyroid hormone-binding proteins probably play a role in the early decrease in serum T3 observed in this study.
Pathways involved in testicular germ cell apoptosis in immature rats after FSH suppression

Published: March 2008

FSH is a key regulator of testis function, required for the establishment of full complements of Sertoli and germ cells during postnatal testis development and for the maintenance of spermatogenesis in the adult. FSH plays an important role in germ cell survival rather than proliferation, in the window between 14 and 18 days of testicular development, which coincides with the cessation of Sertoli cell proliferation and the onset of germ cell meiosis during the first wave of spermatogenesis. This study aimed to identify the pathway(s) of apoptosis regulated by changes in FSH levels in 14 - to 18-day-old rats, using a model of in vivo FSH suppression by passive immunoneutralization with a rat anti-FSH antibody. Apoptotic pathways were identified by immunohistochemistry using pathway-specific proteins as markers of the intrinsic (activated caspase 9) and extrinsic (activated caspase 8) pathways, followed by quantification of cell numbers using stereological techniques. In addition, RT-PCR was used to assess the expression of pathway-specific genes. We previously reported a 2.5-fold increase in spermatogonial apoptosis in these samples after 4 days of FSH suppression, and now show that this increase correlates with a 9.8-fold (P<0.001) increase in the frequency of caspase 9-positive spermatogonia in the absence of caspase 8 immunoreactivity. By contrast, spermatocytes exhibited both increased caspase 9 (7.5-fold; P<0.001) and caspase 8 (5.7 fold; P<0.001) immunoreactivities after 4 days of FSH suppression. No significant change in the transcription levels of candidate genes required for either pathway was detected. This study demonstrates that, in the seminiferous tubules, FSH suppression induces spermatogonial apoptosis predominantly via the intrinsic pathway, while spermatocyte apoptosis occurs via both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways.
Interaction between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in insulin-producing cells

Published: March 2008

Pro-inflammatory cytokines cause β-cell dysfunction and death. The aim of this study was to investigate the interactions between different pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and their effects on apoptotic β-cell death pathways. Insulin-producing RINm5F cells were exposed to different combinations of cytokines. Gene expression analyses of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were performed by real-time RT-PCR. Cell viability was measured by the MTT assay, NFκB activation using a SEAP reporter gene assay, protein expression by western blotting and caspase-3 activity using the DEVD cleavage method. IL-1β, tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) and a combination of all three pro-inflammatory cytokines increased while IFNγ alone did not affect NFκB activity and iNOS gene and protein expression. Interestingly, the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4, IL-13 and IL-10 decreased IL-1β-stimulated NFκB activation and iNOS expression. IL-1β, TNFα and the pro-inflammatory cytokine combination also increased MnSOD gene and protein expression. But IL-4, IL-13 and IL-10 did not affect MnSOD expression and did not modulate IL-1β-stimulated MnSOD expression. Caspase-3 activity was increased by IL-1β and the pro-inflammatory cytokine combination, and to a lesser extent by TNFα. In contrast, IFNγ had no effect on caspase-3 activity. IL-4, IL-13 and IL-10 decreased caspase-3 activity and increased viability of insulin-producing cells treated with pro-inflammatory cytokines. The anti-inflammatory cytokines counteracted the cytotoxic effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines in insulin-producing cells. This was achieved through the reduction of nitrosative stress. Thus, a balance between the anti-inflammatory and the pro-inflammatory cytokines is of crucial importance for the prevention of pancreatic β-cell destruction.
Buckling experiments on polyethylene liners with egg-shaped cross-sections
Authors: Falter B. , Müller-Rochholz J. , Eilers J. , Gutermann M.
Published: March 2008

In Germany, egg-shaped concrete and masonry sewers can be renovated with short thermoplastic liners of corresponding cross-sections. The decisive variable for dimensioning of the wall thickness is the groundwater pressure on the liner surface. The necessary calculations are, as a rule, executed by data processing procedures. Buckling experiments are important for the development of the theoretical approaches. The specific material behaviour of thermoplastics, and in particular their creep tendency, is considered in the experimental planning. In total, the results of 11 buckling experiments with different imperfections (none, annular gap or local imperfection) concurred with the buckling pressures determined by calculation. Ten small-scale experiments and one full-scale test were carried out at constant external pressure as creep tests of over 2–3 h in duration. The evaluation of the 11 experiments shows that the application of the German design code ATV-M 127-2 for the calculation of the stability of egg-shaped profiles subjected to water pressure (host pipe states I and II) is suitable. The small-scale experiments showed that less extensive set-ups still supply useful information when examining the load-carrying capacity of non-circular liners. Such experiments could be carried out within the framework of first examinations and for quality assurance.
The effect of fine soil content on the filtration characteristics of geotextile under cyclic flows
Authors: Chen R.-H. , Ho C.-C. , Hsu C.-Y.
Published: March 2008

The use of geotextiles as filters for revetments or embankments has become popular. The geotextile filter must be permeable enough to drain water effectively, but it also has to retain the soil particles to prevent them from being washed out. In the research on the filtration function of geotextiles, retention and permeability criteria have been proposed. Most of the research has considered conditions that are simpler than real in situ conditions, such as cyclic flows due to the fluctuation of water table caused by sea waves, boats, or periodic drawdown of water for irrigation purposes. Moreover, soils with different fines contents will cause dissimilar soil erosion behaviour in a revetment that uses geotextiles. For this reason, a cyclic flow apparatus is adopted in this research to take account of the effect of overburden pressure and cyclic flows on soils. The soil samples are composed mainly of sand, with 0–10% fines content of silts and clays. The applied cyclic flow periods range from long to short, in order to simulate a range of waves. The results show that the fines content has a significant effect on the filtration behaviour of a soil–geotextile system. In addition, the normal pressure and cyclic flow period have an influence on the performance of the geotextile filter.
ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN SCHOOL BULLYING AND PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS
Authors: Jankauskiene Rasa , Kardelis Kestutis , Sukys Saulius , Kardeliene Laimute
Published: March 2008

The aim of the study was to determine the relationship of bullying behavior at school with indicators of psychosocial health (self-esteem, happiness, relationships in family and with teachers, smoking and alcohol use) and with social-demographical factors (age, gender, socioeconomic status). Participants were 1,162 pupils from the 6th, 8th, and 11th grades of schools. A total of 56.5% of students were involved in bullying. 12.7% were ascribed as victims and 16.3% as bullies. Using logistic regression, it was established that involvement in bullying is most associated with grade (6th and 8th grades), masculine gender, tobacco smoking, lower self-esteem, and family teasing about appearance. Victimization was most associated with grade, masculine gender, lower self-esteem, unhappiness, and family teasing about appearance. For the bully, masculine gender, grades (6th and 8th), tobacco smoking and family teasing about appearance are typically associated factors. Results are interpreted against the background of other study findings, while emphasizing relevance of family teasing about appearance in bullying behavior.
TEACHER OR PLAYMATE? ASIAN IMMIGRANT AND EURO-AMERICAN PARENTS' PARTICIPATION IN THEIR YOUNG CHILDREN's DAILY ACTIVITIES
Authors: Parmar Parminder , Harkness Sara , Super Charles M.
Published: March 2008

Parents often arrange activities for their children either by providing them with opportunities or restricting their participation. The way children spend their time affects their cognitive and social development. This study compares the involvement of Asian immigrant and Euro-American
parents in their young children's daily activities, with particular attention to two contrasting roles: teacher and playmate. Parents of children aged 3 to 6 years (n = 24 children in each group) kept daily logs of their children's activities and companions for a week. Results
show that parents in both groups spent similar amounts of time in play activities with their children, although the Euro-American parents did more pretend play and the Asian parents did more constructive play. However, Asian parents spent far more time on preacademic activities with their
children such as learning letters and numbers, playing math games, and working with the computer. The cultural differences among parents are mirrored to a lesser extent by patterns of participation of siblings, friends, and babysitters with the target children. These results are discussed
in relation to universality and cultural specificity of parenting beliefs and practices.
PERSONALITY, ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND TELEPHONE MANNER
Authors: Furnham Adrian , Miller Tony
Published: March 2008

Over 1,200 potential callcenter sales staff answered a printed job advertisement by telephone. Trained raters judged the applicant on 3 dimensions and around 450 were called to a face-to-face interview. At the interview they were given a personality test (NEO-FFI; Costa & McCrae,
1992) and a Customer Service Aptitude Test that was devised for this study. Despite range restrictions on rated telephone behavior the personality variables correlated with both actual telephone interview rating and a customer service aptitude test. Regressions showed that Extraversion was
the only significant predictor of the total rated interview score. Open, stable and agreeable females did best on the customer service aptitude test.
MODERATE AND SEVERE AGGRESSION JUSTIFICATION INSTRUMENTAL AND REACTIVE CONTEXTS
Authors: Peña Maria Elena , Andreu José Manuel , Graña José Luis , Pahlavan Farzaneh , Ramirez Jesus Martin
Published: March 2008

The main goal of this study was to analyze the justification of interpersonal aggression various situations or contexts. For this purpose, a self-report instrument was employed that measures different kinds of aggressive behaviors in situations in which it may be considered justified:
the Cuestionario de Actitudes Morales sobre Agresión (CAMA; Ramirez, 1991), a reliable and valid test to measure the different degrees to which youth and adolescents may justify interpersonal aggression (Ramirez & Andreu, 2006). A large sample (N = 735) of participants from
various educational centers of Madrid was utilized. Results revealed that normative beliefs vary as a function of age, sex, and the instrumental-reactive context. Reactive situations elicited higher levels of justification than instrumental situations and higher levels in the justifying beliefs
about severe aggression were found among men than among women and in adolescents than in young adults. There were no significant differences in the justifying beliefs about moderate aggression.

Published: March 2008

To apply siRNA as a therapeutic agent, appropriate attention should be paid to the optimization of the siRNA gene silencing effect, both in terms of magnitude and duration. Intracellular time‐controlled siRNA delivery could aid in tailoring the kinetics of siRNA gene knockdown. However, materials with easily tunable siRNA release properties have not been subjected to thorough investigation thus far. This report describes cationic biodegradable dextran microgels which can be loaded with siRNA posterior to gel formation. Even though the siRNAs are incorporated in the hydrogel network based on electrostatic interaction, still a time‐controlled release can be achieved by varying the initial network density of the microgels. To demonstrate the biological functionality of the siRNA loaded gels, we studied their cellular internalization and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene silencing potential in HUH7 human hepatoma cells.
Compatibilization of PP/PE blends and scraps with Royalene: Mechanical properties, SAXS, and WAXS
Authors: Nedkov T. , Lednický F. , Mihailova M.
Published: March 2008

PP/PE 93/7 model virgin blends and recycled scraps were compatibilized with Royalene (EPDM/PE 65/35 blend) and mechanically tested. No differences in impact and tensile properties between them were found. However, the tensile‐impact strength increased almost twice with 10%‐compatibilized sample in comparison with uncompatibilized ones. The yield stress of blends containing 10% Royalene decreased to 75–80% of the original value. This effect is in agreement with microhardness measurements; the increase in the compatibilizer content causes softening of the blend. The elongation at break and elongation at yield do not depend on the compatibilizer concentration. The compatibilizer does not influence the degree of crystallinity (WAXS data) of the blends either. Vickers microhardness is in good agreement with Tabor's relationship. The differences between long periods of HDPE in Royalene and LDPE in PP/PE blends (SAXS) proved PE/EPDM interaction. The interaction plays a key role in the toughening of PP/PE blends. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
Origin and Endpoint of the Olfactory Nerve Fibers: As Described by Santiago Ramón y Cajal
Authors: Levine Catherine , Marcillo Alexander
Published: March 2008

In the late Nineteenth Century, Santiago Ramón y Cajal was able to reproduce an exceptional illustration of the Olfactory Nerve pathway and its myriad of cells, by using the Golgi Method. Dr. Cajal focused intense study on the histology of the nervous system and published a treatise on the olfactory nerve fibers and the distinct peripheral origin and central nervous system endpoint of this unique pathway. The original title of this work is “Origen y terminación de las fibras nerviosas olfatorias” published in 1890. As the original publication is in Spanish, here we provide an English translation allowing present‐day English speakers to read these writings. Cajal followed the trajectory of the olfactory nerve fibers as they transitioned between the peripheral and central nervous system and was able to assert that these fibers were not continuous from the olfactory bulb to the bipolar cells that relinquish into the olfactory epithelium, but that the olfactory system was made up of various cell types each having distinct morphologies and functions. This may very well be the first definitive description of the olfactory receptor neurons and the first illustrations of the continuity of these cells throughout the olfactory pathway. These meticulous histological preparations were created by first using Camillo Golgi's potassium dichromate and silver nitrate impregnation method known as “reazione nera” or “black reaction,” where nerve cells, nerve fibers, and neuroglia could be visualized. This study exhibits the structural and functional organization of the mammalian fila olfactoria as it was investigated in centuries past. Anat Rec, 291:741‐750, 2008. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Tuberculosis Induced Changes to the Osseous Cranial Base and its Potential Effect on Hearing
Authors: Balboni Armand L. , Bergemann Andrew D. , Reidenberg Joy S. , Laitman Jeffrey T.
Published: March 2008

Our prior work suggested that petro‐occipital fissure (POF) ossification may be altered in clinicopathologies of the cranial base such as hearing loss (Balboni et al., 2005). Here we demonstrate an accelerated and statistically significant ossification of the POF and cochlear aqueduct (CA) in a historical population of patients diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB). While a number of studies have sought to reduce the importance of the POF/CA to hearing, given its anatomical location, evolutionary conservation across mammals and the mounting data linking morphological changes of the POF/CA to the temporal onset of hearing loss and tinnitus, it is becoming difficult to maintain that its function is not related to inner ear homeostasis.

Reproductive Anatomy of the Female Amazonian Manatee Trichechus inunguis Natterer, 1883 (Mammalia: Sirenia)
Authors: Rodrigues Fernanda Rosa , Da Silva Vera Maria Ferreira , Barcellos José Fernando Marques , Lazzarini Stella Maris
Published: March 2008

The Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis) is uniparous and has a slow reproduction cycle due to a long gestation period and long interval between births. Even though protected by law, hunting remains one of the main causes hindering the natural population growth of this species in the wild. The histology and reproductive anatomy provide information on the history and reproductive status of the female and offer a tool for the conservation of the species. The present study describes the anatomy of the female reproductive tract in T. inunguis. It is based on materials from three reproductive tracts fixed in 10% buffered formalin. The ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, and external genitalia are described. The hymen presents two tiny openings separated by a segment that, upon rupturing during the first copulation, should make up a single vaginal opening. A still intact hymen and the absence of placental scars in the uterus were found in one specimen. Additionally, the presence of a hemorrhagic body and Graafian follicles on the right ovary were observed, as well as whitish scars and among them, possible corpora albicantia. These findings suggest that T. inunguis undergoes infertile estrus cycles before its first gestation. Macroscopically, counting of the whitish scars is hindered by the small diameter of these structures. It is not possible to differentiate between the scars resulting from ruptured (corpora albicantia) and nonruptured follicles (regressed corpora atretica). The presence of whitish scars on both ovaries of the same specimen suggests their bilateral function in T. inunguis. Anat Rec, 291:557–564, 2008. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
A user‐centered functional metadata evaluation of moving image collections
Authors: Zhang Ying , Li Yuelin
Published: March 2008

In this article, the authors report a series of evaluations of two metadata schemes developed for Moving Image Collections (MIC), an integrated online catalog of moving images. Through two online surveys and one experiment spanning various stages of metadata implementation, the MIC evaluation team explored a user‐centered approach in which the four generic user tasks suggested by IFLA FRBR (International Association of Library Associations Functional Requirement for Bibliographic Records) were embedded in data collection and analyses. Diverse groups of users rated usefulness of individual metadata fields for finding, identifying, selecting, and obtaining moving images. The results demonstrate a consistency across these evaluations with respect to (a) identification of a set of useful metadata fields highly rated by target users for each of the FRBR generic tasks, and (b) indication of a significant interaction between MIC metadata fields and the FRBR generic tasks. The findings provide timely feedback for the MIC implementation specifically, and valuable suggestions to other similar metadata application settings in general. They also suggest the feasibility of using the four IFLA FRBR generic tasks as a framework for user‐centered functional metadata evaluations.
