Authors: Shohat Noam , Goswami Karan , Tan Timothy L. , Fillingham Yale , Parvizi Javad
Published: April 2019

Background:

Acute periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is difficult to treat. In this study, we investigated the failure rates of irrigation and debridement (I&D) among patients with acute post-surgical and acute hematogenous PJI, and explored various host and organism-related risk factors that may be associated with treatment failure.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed the cases of 199 total joint arthroplasty patients who underwent I&D for acute post-surgical PJI (<3 months postoperatively) and acute hematogenous PJI (≥3 months postoperatively, with abrupt symptoms lasting <3 weeks) at a single center during the period of 2005 to 2016. Only patients meeting the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria for PJI were included. Patient demographics, comorbidities, physical examination findings, laboratory results, and organism profile were identified. Treatment failure, as defined by the Delphi criteria, was determined for 1-year follow-up. Primary statistical analysis involved univariate and multivariate regression.

Results:

The failure rate was 37.7% (75 of 199) at 1 year. Among the patients with acute hematogenous infections, the rate of failure (56%, 29 of 52) was almost 2 times higher than that of patients with acute post-surgical infections (31%, 46 of 147) (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 2.36; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.16 to 4.81; p = 0.018). Host predictors of failure included prior revision surgery (adjusted OR, 2.55; 95% CI, 1.22 to 5.32; p = 0.013) and a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (adjusted OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.51; p = 0.048). Specific comorbidities associated with failure included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (p = 0.026), diabetes (p = 0.004), and a history of malignancy (p = 0.005). Patients with polymicrobial infections (adjusted OR, 2.40; 95% CI, 1.10 to 5.20; p = 0.028) were also more likely to experience failure of treatment after I&D. The clinical and laboratory risk factors associated with failure were the presence of intraoperative purulence (p = 0.05), elevated systolic blood pressure (p = 0.05), tachycardia (p = 0.06), and higher serum C-reactive protein level (p = 0.003).

Conclusions:

This study revealed that I&D is associated with a high rate of failure for patients with an acute hematogenous PJI. The study also identified a number of risk factors for failure. The findings of this study may allow better decision-making by surgeons regarding the surgical management of patients with acute PJI.

Malang Raya with all the trimmings is a city with intense activity. As a result, the streets in most areas in Malang became commonly used. The volume density of vehicles per day resulted in a lot of potholes. However, the slow handling of city government and county government resulted in the holes in the road more and more common. Of course this led to frustration for road users. Many victims of accidents caused fall due pit road. Not the least of casualties caused by potholes is pushing a bunch of young for forming Social Community “Peduli Lubang”. The group is moved voluntarily. Social counciosness encouraging to form this community. In its action, they make a circular mark or ledges with pylox white against the hole in every street. The goal is sign that the road users see the white markings they have made. The sign is effective because Driver can seen from distance before the hole, finally the driver can reduce speed. A lot of appreciation given to this community. Remaining so many hole in streets, and the number of "Self founding" that they have to spend for the sake of this social action. Their action also received a response from the mayor. This research uses a case study approach and indepth interview methods to community members and resource persons also road users to recognize the existence of this grass-roots communities. Observations made to this community by following all the activities of this group. As a result, the public perception of these two groups divided into two: the pros and cons of their action. Part of the counter on the excuse that their sentences are inappropriate for display in public facilities. In conclusion the public perception of the pro-grassroots movement may be resistance to the government policy terksan slow in dealing with this issue. Evidenced by the more intense they carry out an action, response Malang city and county governments more quickly. Expected social consciousness is what will encourage Malang city and county governments to be more sensitive to sound that good netizens on social media and direct aspiration.
Assembly, annotation, and comparison of Macrophomina phaseolina isolates from strawberry and other hosts
Authors: Burkhardt Alyssa Kay , Childs Kevin L. , Wang Jie , Ramon Marina L. , Martin Frank N.
Published: April 2019

Background

Macrophomina phaseolina is traditionally considered a broad host range fungal pathogen, but one genotype was recently shown to exhibit a host preference/specificity on strawberry. This fungus lacked a high-quality genome assembly and annotation, and little is known about genomic differences between isolates from different hosts.

Results

This study used PacBio sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding to provide nearly complete genome assemblies from M. phaseolina isolates recovered from strawberry and alfalfa with 60 or fewer scaffolds and N50 metrics at 4.3 and 5.0 Mb, respectively. The genomes were annotated with MAKER using multiple RNA-Seq libraries generated in this study, and over 13,000 protein-coding genes were predicted. Unique groups of orthologous genes for each M. phaseolina isolate were identified when compared to several closely related fungal species. Comparative genomics between the isolates reveal large-scale structural rearrangements including chromosomal inversions and translocations. An additional 30 isolates of M. phaseolina from various hosts, including several from strawberry, were sequenced with Illumina and compared to the high-quality strawberry isolate assembly. No conserved structural rearrangements were identified among the isolates from strawberry compared to those from other hosts, but some candidate genes were identified that were largely present in isolates pathogenic on strawberry and absent in isolates not pathogenic on this host.

Conclusions

High-quality reference genomes of M. phaseolina generated in this study have allowed for comparative genomics to be used to investigate the genomic changes that might have led to a host preference toward strawberry and will enable future comparative genomics studies. Having more complete scaffolds allows for structural rearrangements to be more fully assessed and ensures a greater representation of all the genes that are truly present in the genome. Work with the additional isolates in this study suggests that some genes are predominately only present in isolates that are pathogenic on strawberry, but additional work is needed to confirm the role of these genes in pathogenesis. Additional work is also needed to complete the scaffolding of smaller contigs representing smaller chromosomes identified in the strawberry genotype assembly and to determine how gene expression plays a role in pathogenicity.
Carinata Dry Matter Accumulation and Nutrient Uptake Responses to Nitrogen Fertilization
Authors: Seepaul Ramdeo , Marois Jim , Small Ian M. , George Sheeja , Wright David L.
Published: April 2019

Core Ideas

This is the first report of carinata dry matter accumulation and allocation responses to nitrogen.

Carinata growth, resource allocation, seed, and straw nitrogen concentration and uptake are highly responsive to nitrogen application in North Florida.

Dry matter accumulation increases with nitrogen rate; however, the allocation of dry matter to roots, leaves, stems, flower/pods and seeds are similar regardless of nitrogen rate.

Maximum nitrogen uptake occurred between 50% bolting and 50% flowering while all other elements had maximum uptake later in the season between 50% flowering and pod formation.

Total nitrogen uptake exceeded applied N by 11 to 160%, suggesting that carinata is highly efficient at scavenging and utilizing residual soil nitrogen.

Adequate nitrogen is required (93 kg N ha−1) for optimizing carinata productivity in sandy loam soils in North Florida.

Brassica carinata is grown as a winter crop in the Southeast United States and it is a non‐edible oilseed feedstock for ‘drop‐in’ aviation and transportation fuels. The objective of this 2‐yr study was to determine the effects of N application on dry matter (DM) production and the accumulation of nutrients in above‐ and belowground biomass. Carinata var. 110994EM was treated with four N rates (0, 45, 90, and 135 kg N ha−1) in 2014 and 2015 at Quincy, Florida. Above‐ and belowground biomass were collected and analyzed for macro‐ and micronutrients. The allocation of DM among root, leaves, stems, flowers/pods, and seed did not differ with N rate. Carinata was highly responsive to N with maximum yield (2798 kg ha−1) produced at 102.3 kg N ha−1, while the economic optimum N rate occurred at 93 kg N ha−1. Maximum N uptake occurred between 50% bolting and 50% flowering while all other elements had maximum uptake between 50% flowering and pod formation. Nitrogen concentration in seed and straw increased with N rate. These results were attributed to the strong relationship between uptake and dry matter production. Total N uptake exceeded applied N by 11 to 160%, suggesting that carinata is highly efficient at scavenging and utilizing residual soil N. The identification of growth stages associated with maximum nutrient uptake may aid in aligning time of N application to critical growth stages corresponding to maximum N uptake.
Ion Concentration Changes in Plants of Varying Tolerance under Saline Environment

Published: April 2019

Core Ideas

Two widely cultivated plant species with different salinity tolerance were grown on coastal saline soils.

Five levels of water salinity were set for reclamation of saline land using drip irrigation.

Ion homeostasis in two plants organs differed with plant salinity tolerance.

The threshold of water salinity for two plants was determined.

Two widely cultivated plant species (Buddleja alternifolia Maxim. and Weigela florida ‘Red Prince’) with different salinity tolerances were grown in coastal saline soils around Bohai Gulf, China, using drip irrigation at five levels of salinity: 0.8, 3.1, 4.7, 6.3, and 7.8 dS/m. The soil salinity (electrical conductivity of soil saturated extract, ECe), soil pH, plant survival rate, and ion concentration changes in plants were investigated. The results showed that a low soil salinity environment with ECe < 4 dS/m for all saline water treatments was quickly created and maintained especially in the root zone, which confirmed the effectiveness of drip irrigation in salt leaching. Liquid acid added with drip irrigation is proposed in the early reclamation period to avoid alkalization. Ion homeostasis differed with plant salinity tolerance, increasing of K+, Ca2+/Na+, and K+/Na+ in plant tissues and decline of Na+ in the leaf for B. alternifolia were correlated with higher survival rates compared with that of W. florida (Red Prince). Fertilization with K+ and Ca2+ was proposed to reduce the deleterious effects of salinity, especially for salt‐sensitive plants. Irrigation water of salinity up to 7.8 and 3.1 dS/m could be applied in the field to B. alternifolia and cultivar Red Prince, respectively, while maintaining a >75% survival rate.
Menertawakan Absurditas Agar Tetap Waras: Humor, Nihilisme, dan Penertawa
Authors: Soesilo Anodya Ariawan
Published: April 2019

Laughter is cloaking that has always assumed depth and shallowness. The construction of this article departs from the reading of Nietzsche’s aphoristic description in Guy Science concerning our question marks and the issue of intelligibility. The activity of laughing has personal dimension pointing to inner independence first; to a person who laugh. As long as words are part of the persona (phrosophon: ‘mask’) then the expression of laughter also points to the disguise. In reading Nietzsche, cloaking is not identical with hypocrisy. Humor can be a form of creative resistance even though it contains nihil aspect because it does not change any situation other than the possibility of being more tolerable. Nihilism was Nietzsche’s description of his day. The ability to laugh at oneself can be a healthy critique for those who claim to be godly. At least, in the Christian sphere laughter has religious dimension, containing the promise of salvation. In the Middle Ages, there was a tradition of humor and laughter as part of the Easter celebration (Risus Paschalis).
Menghidupkan Leluhur: Sebuah Penafsiran Terhadap Matius 22:32

Published: April 2019

Matthew 22:32 contains a tradition of mentioning the God of Israel which was no longer popular in the time of Jesus. That tradition is often called Theos patros, the God of the ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. In a dialogue between Jesus and several Sadducees about the resurrection of the dead, Jesus “revived” the tradition. Studies concerning that text, however, seems to overlook such tradition of mentioning God. If Jesus implicitly states that the ancestors of Israel lived, what kind of life did Jesus mean? This article attemps to answer the above question by considering “God with Us” as the main theme and “Rhetoric of Fighting Leadership” as the essence of this gospel rhetoric. Both become what is often referred to as the Hermeneutical Framework.Matthew 22:32 contains a tradition of mentioning the God of Israel which was no longer popular in the time of Jesus.

Motion graphics is one category in the animation that makes animation with lots of design elements in each component. Motion graphics needs long process including preproduction, production, and postproduction. Preproduction has an important role so that the next stage may provide guidance or instructions for the production process or the animation process. Preproduction includes research, making the story, script, screenplay, character, environment design and storyboards. The storyboard will be determined through camera angles, blocking, sets, and many supporting roles involved in a scene. Storyboard is also useful as a production reference in recording or taping each scene in sequence or as an efficient priority. The example used is an ad creation using motion graphic animation storyboard which has an important role as a blueprint for every scene and giving instructions to make the transition movement, layout, blocking, and defining camera movement that everything should be done periodically in animation production. Planning before making the animation or motion graphic will make the job more organized, presentable, and more efficient in the process.

A prevalência de doenças associadas aos hábitos alimentares, presentes cada vez mais precocemente nas crianças, associada à dificuldade que apresentam quando convidadas a identificar algumas frutas e verduras, além do total desconhecimento de suas procedências, suscita preocupações relacionadas à saúde deste público. Este trabalho apresenta os resultados alcançados em ações promovidas junto aos alunos, familiares e colaboradores de uma escola de educação infantil, localizada no município de Parobé/RS. Assim, este artigo tem como objetivo compreender o que este público entende por alimentação saudável, a partir dos princípios da Educação Ambiental (EA), por meio da escolha de alimentos. Foram desenvolvidas ações como: montagem da pirâmide alimentar com recortes, oficina para a manipulação de alimentos, criação de hortas portáteis, além de atividades que incentivaram a reutilização de resíduos sólidos. Para analisar os registros produzidos durante as oficinas, utilizou-se estudos atuais voltados às áreas envolvidas, que permitiu entender melhor o comportamento das crianças, visto que a inobservância de hábitos saudáveis é um fenômeno contemporâneo que desafia a sociedade. Entre os resultados alcançados, detectou-se tendências positivas à aquisição de novos hábitos alimentares e manifestações de comprometimento com o meio ambiente, que ao início das ações não haviam sido sentidas. Ao final da ação, verificou-se que os novos hábitos adquiridos continuaram sendo praticados, observando-se que a valorização do meio ambiente permaneceu nos pequenos gestos das crianças.

Struktura zawodowa Płocka w świetle księgi ławniczej miasta za lata 1489-1517
Authors: Graczyk Waldemar
Published: April 2019

Liber actorum civilium of the city of Płock covering the years 1489-1517 is a valuable source of information about the social and professional structure of Płock, as well as its customs and culture at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. Fortunately it survived the destruction of archival and library collections in Warsaw during World War II, and was published in 1995 by Danuta Poppe. On the pages of this liber of the city of Płock for the years 489-1517 we find representatives of 20 professions who lived and worked in Płock. As was already mentioned it is not the complete list, although it still shows the areas of the activity of the townspeople from Płock. The testaments say a lot about their financial status where sacrum, charity, care and family protection completed each other. The records in which the Płock craftsman appear on the pages of the liber actorum civilum concerned every day matters as purchase, sale, exchange, lease or donations. The fact that they enjoyed the popularity of the residents of the city shows that they were asked for arbitration of arguable matters. At the turn of 15th and 16th century the craftsmen were involved in the guilds, of which the liber mentions four: butchers, weavers, shoemakers, saddlers. The traits were concerned with the development of the craft among other trade contracts. Moreover they defended the interests of their community, they provided aid to the needy, gave opportunities for social contacts and also cared for the morality of the guild members.

Both of the above mentioned 13th century monastery foundations in Podhale -the Cistercian Szczyrzyc as well as the Franciscan Stary Sącz - played important religious, cultural and social role in the development of this region. Their founders were important people, both the voivode of Cracow Teodor Gryfita and the Cracow duchess Kinga of the Arpad family (later a saint)  inscribed themselves for the work of monastery foundations in Podhale in the colonization and economic process but above all the religious and cultural life in the then Piast state.
Riboswitches in Archaea
Authors: Gupta Angela , Swati D.
Published: April 2019

Background:

Riboswitches are cis-acting, non-coding RNA elements found in the
5’UTR of bacterial mRNA and 3’ UTR of eukaryotic mRNA, that fold in a complex manner to act
as receptors for specific metabolites hence altering their conformation in response to the change in
concentrations of a ligand or metabolite. Riboswitches function as gene regulators in numerous
bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae and plants.

Aim and Objective:

This study identifies different classes of riboswitches in the Archaeal domain
of life. Previous studies have suggested that riboswitches carry a conserved aptameric domain in
different domains of life. Since Archaea are considered to be the most idiosyncratic organisms it
was interesting to look for the conservation pattern of riboswitches in these obviously strange
microorganisms.

Materials and Methods:

Completely sequenced Archaeal Genomes present in the NCBI repository
were used for studying riboswitches and other ncRNAs. The sequence files in FASTA format were
downloaded from NCBI Genome database and information related to these genomes was retrieved
from GenBank. Three bioinformatics approaches were used namely, ab initio, consensus structure
prediction and statistical model-based prediction for identifying riboswitches.

Results:

Archaeal genomes have a sporadic distribution of putative riboswitches like the TPP,
FMN, Guanidine, Lysine and c-di-AMP riboswitches, which are known to occur in bacteria. Also,
a class of riboswitch sensing c-di-GMP, a second messenger, has been identified in a few Archaeal
organisms.

Conclusion:

This study clearly reveals that bioinformatics methods are likely to play a major role
in identifying conserved riboswitches and in establishing how widespread these classes are in all
domains of life, even though the final confirmation may come from wet lab methods.
Use of Aqueous Two-Phase and Three-Phase Partitioning Systems for Purification of Lipase Obtained in Solid-State Fermentation by Rhizopus arrhizus
Authors: Dobreva Valentina , Zhekova Boriana , Dobrev Georgi
Published: April 2019

Background:

Purification of enzymes by conventional methods such as precipitation and chromatographic techniques is a costly and time-consuming procedure and may lead to low yields of enzyme activity. Alternative liquid-liquid extraction methods such as Aqueous Two-Phase Systems (ATPS) and Three Phase Partitioning (TPP) are characterized by the high enzyme yields and purification degree.

Objective:

The objective of this study was the application of partitioning systems ATPS and TPP for purification of lipase produced in solid-state fermentation by Rhizopus arrhizus.

Methods:

ATPS and TPP were used for purification of lipase, obtained by solid state cultivation of Rhizopus arrhizus.

Results:

Lipase was isolated with PEG4000/potassium sodium tartrate ATPS and the effect of the system composition, including PEG 4000 and potassium sodium tartrate concentrations on lipase partitioning was studied. When using 30% PEG4000/21% potassium sodium tartrate, lipase was distributed in the top phase, and the highest recovery yield of 217% and purification fold of 6.1 were achieved. It was found that at PEG4000 concentration of or higher than 15%, the enzyme was present in the top polymer-rich phase with a partitioning yield of over 90%. Upon application of TPP for lipase isolation, the effect of t-butanol concentration, ammonium sulfate concentration and pH on enzyme partitioning was investigated. The highest lipase recovery yield of 71% and 19.1-fold purification were achieved in the interfacial phase in the presence of 30% ammonium sulfate saturation with 1.0:0.5 crude extract/t-butanol ratio at pH 7 in a single step. The sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and zymographic analysis showed significant purification of lipase by TPP and the presence of two multiple forms of the enzyme.

Conclusion:

ATPS (PEG4000/ Potassium sodium tartrate) and TPP (1.0:0.5 crude extract/t-butanol ratio, 30% ammonium sulfate saturation, pH 7) proved to be rapid methods for the isolation and purification of lipase and they can be used in downstream processing for industrial preparation of the enzyme.

Authors: Mathur Neha , Manna Biplab , Sharma Arun Kumar
Published: April 2019

Background:

Phenothiazines and Triphenodithiazines are included in the class of nitrogen and sulphur donating ligands. They have a wide spectrum of biological activities and form important class of heterocyclic compounds. Both drugs are being used as, antitumors, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anaesthetics, anticancer agents, antimalarials, antimicrobials, anti-cholinergics, growth inhibitors, and many other pharmacological agents.

Objective:

Present work has been initiated with a view to obtain a profile regarding structural insight of complexes of Cobalt (II), Ni (II) and Zinc (II) soaps derived from substituted phenothiazines 15 and triphenodithiazines using latest technique. It also gives an account of micelle formation in the mixed non aqueous solvents.

Methods:

The viscosity, specific viscosity, and fluidity of complexes of Co, Ni, and Zn Oleate with substituted phenothiazine and triphenodithiazine in methanol + benzene solvents was determined at a constant temperature of 303.15 K to study the micellar features and critical micelle concentration (CMC). In the present work benzene+ methanol have selected as co solvents due to these interact with complex molecules and thus affected aggregation of complex molecules.

Results:

The results were used to determine the CMC, soap complex-solvent interactions and the effect of chain length of the surfactant molecule on various parameters. The conclusions concerning solute-solute and solute-solvent interaction were discussed regarding the well-known Moulik’s and Jones-Dole equations.

Conclusion:

From above results it may be concluded that the micelle formation take place earlier in the case of triphenodithiazine complexes due to larger molecular structure, so a smaller number of molecules are needed to form micelle. Micellization also confirms the existence of complex aggregation in the non-aqueous mixed solvents. To conclude, it can be unveiled on the basis of the result acquired that above study of complexes conforms the presence of complex aggregation in the non - aqueous mixed solvents.
