OBJECTIVE—To examine the relationship between iron status, hereditary hemochromatosis (HFE) gene mutations, and clinical features and outcomes of type 2 diabetes in a well-characterized representative sample of community-based patients.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—HFE genotype data were available for 1,245 type 2 diabetic patients from the longitudinal observational Fremantle Diabetes Study (FDS), representing 96.2% of the total FDS type 2 diabetes cohort. Data were collected at recruitment between 1993 and 1996 and annually until the end of June 2001. Hospitalization and mortality data were available until the end of June 2006. The presence of the C282Y HFE mutation was determined in all subjects and H63D in C282Y heterozygotes. Fasting serum iron, transferrin, and ferritin were measured in all C282Y homozygotes and C282Y/H63D heterozygotes and in 286 randomly selected wild-type subjects. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to determine independent baseline associates of prevalent complications (myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disease, retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy), as was Cox proportional hazards modeling to determine predictors of incident complications and mortality.

RESULTS—Although there were expected positive associations between HFE gene mutations and serum iron and transferrin saturation, there were no independent positive associations between HFE gene status and either microvascular or macrovascular complications in cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. HFE gene status did not independently predict cardiac or all-cause mortality. Measures of iron metabolism including serum ferritin were not associated with combined microvascular or macrovascular end points.

CONCLUSIONS—Directed screening for iron overload and/or HFE mutations appears unwarranted in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Freedom of Religion, Institution of Conscientious Objection and Political Practice in Post-Communist Slovakia1

The example of Slovakia is used to show how one of the post-socialist countries failed in fulfilling the demanding task of securing freedom of religious belief (including the right to conscientious objection) and, at the same time, securing all other human rights. An analysis of the methods used for changing the policies of pluralism and neutrality of the state into a policy of discrimination (e.g. concerning the registration duty for churches) was carried out, followed by an analysis of a mechanism used for guaranteeing freedom of conscience of the members of the Catholic Church (the so-called Vatican Treaty). The treaty violates the prohibition of discrimination against women, because it makes it more difficult for them to have access to some health care services. Our hypothesis states that the hurriedly introduced right to conscientious objection is misused in this context as a means of regulating the politics of reproduction. In general, the re-Catholisation of the Slovak Republic follows two aims—to help in the fight for votes in the elections (because 70 % of Slovaks declare their religion to be Catholic), and to improve demographic development in the Slovak Republic (declared to be catastrophic by the Catholic Church), through hindering free access to abortions.
RIDGED TERRACES ‐ FUNCTIONS, CONSTRUCTION AND USE/KRAIGINĖS TERASOS – FUNKCIJOS, KONSTRUKCIJOS IR NAUDOJIMAS/ГРЕБНЕВЫЕ ТЕРРАСЫ – ФУНКЦИИ, КОНСТРУКЦИИ И ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ

Erosion is considered one of the basic processes, leading to soil degradation and contamination of surface water. Terracing is a technical soil conservation method, generally intended to control surface runoff and soil losses. Ridged terraces are mainly used to control soil erosion but they could also be used as a mean for harvesting of rain water. These terraces divide the slope into smaller hydrographic units, significantly reducing the rout of the runoff, thus affecting water circulation on the slope and in the entire basin. Water, retained by terraces, does not participate in the direct precipitation‐runoff transformation process. As, a result, water resources in a given site are increased. In Poland there is no tradition and experience with the use of ridged terraces, especially as a measure for rain water collecting. This paper describes types of ridged terraces, their functions and typical cross‐sections, as well as methods of calculation of ridged terraces spacing.

Aprašytos kraiginės terasos, naudojamos kaip priemonė, sauganti dirvožemį nuo erozijos ir leidžianti reguliuoti vandens cirkuliaciją baseine. Pateikta kraiginių terasų konstrukcijų charakteristika. Lenkijoje tokios terasos beveik nenaudojamos, ir viena iš priežasčių – nėra jų projektavimo pagrindų. Tačiau naudoti šias terasas kaip priemonę nuo erozijos Lenkijoje būtina, kadangi jos klimato sąlygomis nesant augalinės dangos tirpstantis sniegas pavasarį ir gausūs krituliai vasaros metu labai veikia dirvožemį. Kraiginės terasos neleidžia vandeniui nutekėti nuo dirvožemio ar miško paklotės ir leidžia daryti įtaką vandens išteklių formavimuisi.

Peзюме

Представлено значение гребневых террас как мероприятий, используемых для противоэрозионной защиты почв и управления движением воды в водосборе, а также различные виды террас и их конструкции. Гребневые террасы в Польше практически не используются. Одной из причин этого является отсутствие основ их проектирования. Однако применение гребневых террас в качестве противоэрозионных средств в Польше необходимо в связи с тем, что в ее климатических условиях во время весеннего оттаивания снега и летних проливных дождей при отсутствии растительного покрова земли, особенно пахотные, подвергаются эрозии. Благодаря ограничению стока из сельскохозяйственных и лесных угодий с помощью гребневых террас можно активно влиять на формирование водных ресурсов.

Mobile pollutant sources, such as industry and energetics, are the basic sources of pollutant emission to the atmosphere in Lithuania. However, motor transport has the greatest share in the emission of mobile pollutant sources. The carried out investigation revealed that in Vilnius Žirmūnai district the highest concentration of pollutants is emitted during morning and afternoon rush hours when traffic is the heaviest. In 14 places of the streets in Žirmūnai three types of cars were counted (lights, medium, heavy) and with COPERT program maximal emissions of CO, NOx, CHx, SO2 were fixed. Using these data, numerical modelling of transfer processes of these pollutants was carried out. The research results indicate that the high amounts of emitted gaseous pollutants are recorded 1–2 m away from the driving part and 4–6 m away the amounts of the exhaust sharply go down. It has been set that concentration of CO, NOx, CHx, SO2 directly depend on motor transport's intensity. The amount of the substances goes evenly down receding from the driving part. In most cases maximum permitted concentration of these pollutants was recorded. Santrauka Pagrindiniai atmosferos taršos šaltiniai miestuose yra mobilūs (automobilių transportas), taip pat ir pramonės bei energetikos taršos šaltiniai. Automobilių transporto išmetami teršalai duoda didžiausią emisiją į aplinką. Tyrimais nustatyta, kad daugiausia teršalų yra išmetama rytinio ir vakarinio piko valandomis, kai automobilių transporto eismo intensyvumas mieste yra pats didžiausias. Automobilių transporto išmetalai yra ypač dideli intensyvaus eismo miesto gatvėse ir 2–5 m atstumu nuo važiuojamosios kelio dangos, o esant 6–10 m atstumui jų kiekiai staigiai sumažėja. Nustatyta, kad CO, NOx , CHx , SO2 koncentracijos tiesiogiai priklauso nuo automobilių transporto eismo intensyvumo. Koncentracija tolygiai mažėja didėjant atstumui nuo gatvės važiuojamosios dalies. Tyrimai atlikti Vilniaus mieste 14 Žirmūnų gatvių vietų, kur skaičiuotas važiuojančio automobilių transporto (lengvųjų, vidutinio lengvumo, sunkiųjų automobilių) skaičius, pagal tai su COPERT programa nustatytos rytinio ir vakarinio piko valandomis vidutinės CO, CHx , NOx , SO2 koncentracijos.

Property enhancement of epoxy resins by using a combination of polyamide and montmorillonite
Authors: Bakar M. , Wojtania I. , Legocka I. , Gospodarczyk J.
Published: June 2008

A bisphenol‐A epoxy resin cured with triethylenetetramine was modified with the addition of a polyamide oligomer and a small amount of montmorillonite. Compositions with different amounts of modifiers were obtained and tested for their impact strength, flexural strength, and resistance to crack propagation. The latter was assessed by measuring the critical stress intensity factor in a three‐point bending mode. Scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the sample fracture surfaces. It was found that the addition of 2% montmorillonite or 5% polyamide resulted in the best improvement of the impact strength and the critical stress intensity factor relative to the unmodified epoxy resin. However, the flexural strength and toughness measured under three‐point bending mode was found to increase to a lesser extent. Hybrid compositions containing specific combinations of both modifier and nanofiller not only exhibited a higher impact strength and resistance to crack propagation but also displayed a synergistic effect in relation to the fracture energy. The results indicate that the improvement in mechanical properties of the epoxy resin was due to the formation of a heterogeneous morphology resulting from phase separation of the polymeric modifier. From the scanning electron microscopy and thermal analysis, it appears that the toughening may arise from chemical reactions that have taken place between the epoxy resin and the polymeric modifier, which was partially solubilized in the resin matrix. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: June 2008

Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/(PET) organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) nanocomposites were synthesized by applying interlayer in situ polymerization. The OMMT was modified using 1‐decyl‐2‐methyl‐3‐dodecyl imidazolium salt. Application of such an OMMT prevented its degradation process as previously experienced at high temperatures. Micro and submicron structures of nanocomposites were investigated using XRD, TEM, and AFM. Thermal properties and nonisothermal crystallization behavior were analyzed by TGA and DSC, respectively. A correlation between thermal stability and state of dispersion was obtained. Moreover, the effects of different OMMT loadings and cooling rates on nanocomposite samples were also considered. Nonisothermal crystallization behavior was investigated by means of modified Avrami's equation, which showed a crystallite tridimensional growth in nanocomposite samples. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of carboxyl‐terminated butadiene acrylonitrile copolymer concentration on mechanical and morphological features of binary blends of nonglycidyl‐type epoxy resins
Authors: Tripathi Garima , Srivastava Deepak
Published: June 2008

Blend samples were prepared by physical blending of nonglycidyl‐type epoxy resin with varying weight ratios of carboxyl‐terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (CTBN) copolymer ranging between 0 and 25 wt%. The blend samples were cured with stoichiometric quantity of diamine. A comparative study of prepared blend samples by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed the modification as a result of chemical reactions between cycloaliphatic epoxy, CTBN, and 4,4′‐diamino diphenyl sulfone. The impact strength of the blend systems increased up to 15 wt% addition of CTBN in the blend and decreased thereafter. The toughness and elongation at break increased, whereas tensile strength decreased up to 20 wt% loading of CTBN in the blends. Two‐phase morphology appeared with the incorporation of CTBN in the cycloaliphatic epoxy resin matrix. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Is microglial apoptosis an early pathogenic change in cerebral X‐linked adrenoleukodystrophy?
Authors: Eichler Florian S. , Ren Jia‐Qian , Cossoy Michael , Rietsch Anna M. , Nagpal Sameer , Moser Ann B. , Frosch Matthew P. , Ransohoff Richard M.
Published: June 2008

Objective

Mutations in the X‐linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X‐ALD) protein cause accumulation of unbranched saturated very‐long‐chain fatty acids, particularly in brain and adrenal cortex. In humans, the genetic defect causes progressive inflammatory demyelination in the brain, where very‐long‐chain fatty acids accumulate within phospholipid fractions such as lysophosphatidylcholine.

Methods

To address mechanisms of inflammation, we studied microglial activation in human ALD (10 autopsies) and lysophosphatidylcholine (C24:0) injection into the parietal cortex of mice.

Results

Unexpectedly, we found a zone lacking microglia within perilesional white matter, immediately beyond the actively demyelinating lesion edge. Surrounding this zone we observed clusters of activated and apoptotic microglia within subcortical white matter. Lysophosphatidylcholine (C24:0) injection in mice led to widespread microglial activation and apoptosis.

Interpretation

Our data suggest that the distinct mononuclear phagocytic cell response seen in cerebral X‐ALD results, at least in part, from aberrant signaling to cognate receptors on microglia. Our findings support a hypothesis that microglial apoptosis in perilesional white matter represents an early stage in lesion evolution and may be an appropriate target for intervention in X‐ALD patients with evidence of cerebral demyelination.

Calcification and endothelialization of thrombi in acute stroke
Authors: Almekhlafi Mohammed A. , Hu William Y. , Hill Michael D. , Auer Roland N.
Published: June 2008

We report chronic histopathological features in thrombi mechanically retrieved from five acute ischemic stroke patients with a median age of 68 years and a median pretreatment National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of 13. Early endothelialization occurred over and within the thrombus, and calcifications were seen, in addition to the usual acute laminar fibrin, intervening red blood cells, and neutrophils. The effectiveness of tissue plasminogen activator in clot dissolution might be affected by these features, if extensive. Thrombus composition could critically determine the success of chemical thrombolysis. Our results should stimulate the development of imaging modalities to determine thrombus composition.

Published: June 2008

Background

Although many recessive loci causing parkinsonism dystonia have been identified, these do not explain all cases of the disorder.

Methods

We used homozygosity mapping and mutational analysis in three individuals from two unrelated families who presented with adult‐onset levodopa‐responsive dystonia‐parkinsonism, pyramidal signs and cognitive/psychiatric features, and cerebral and cerebellar atrophy on magnetic resonance imaging but absent iron in the basal ganglia.

Results

We identified areas of homozygosity on chromosome 22 and, subsequently, PLA2G6 mutations.

Interpretation

PLA2G6 mutations are associated with infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy and have been reported previously to cause early cerebellar signs, and the syndrome was classified as neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (type 2). Our cases have neither of these previously pathognomic features. Thus, mutations in PLA2G6 should additionally be considered in patients with adult‐onset dystonia‐parkinsonism even with absent iron on brain imaging. Ann Neurol 2008

Published: June 2008

The timing and yield of metabolic studies for patients with neurodevelopmental disorders is a matter of continuing debate. We determined the yield of additional or repeated metabolic studies in patients with neurodevelopmental disorders. Patients referred to a tertiary diagnostic center for patients with unexplained neurodevelopmental disorders were included. Initial metabolic studies had been performed in most patients (87%) before referral. Additional/repeated metabolic studies were individually tailored. Twelve metabolic diseases of 433 patients studied (2.8%) were diagnosed, despite normal initial metabolic studies before referral. Specific metabolic investigations lead to a greater diagnostic yield in patients with neurodevelopmental disorders. Ann Neurol 2008
An Indole‐Binding Site is a Major Determinant of the Ligand Specificity of the GABA Type A Receptor‐Associated Protein GABARAP

Published: June 2008

The role of tryptophan as a key residue for ligand binding to the ubiquitin‐like modifier GABAA receptor associated protein (GABARAP) was investigated. Two tryptophan‐binding hydrophobic patches were identified on the conserved face of the GABARAP structure by NMR spectroscopy and molecular docking. GABARAP binding of indole and indole derivatives, including the free amino acid tryptophan was quantified. The two tryptophan binding sites can be clearly distinguished by mapping the NMR spectroscopy‐derived residue‐specific apparent dissociation constant, Kd, onto the three‐dimensional structure of GABARAP. The biological relevance of tryptophan‐binding pockets of GABARAP was supported by a highly conserved tryptophan residue in the GABARAP binding region of calreticulin, clathrin heavy chain, and the gamma2 subunit of the GABAA receptor. Replacement of tryptophan by alanine abolished ligand binding to GABARAP.
Addressing the Numbers Problem in Directed Evolution
Authors: Reetz Manfred T. , Kahakeaw Daniel , Lohmer Renate
Published: June 2008

Our previous contribution to increasing the efficiency of directed evolution is iterative saturation mutagenesis (ISM) as a systematic means of generating focused libraries for the control of substrate acceptance, enantioselectivity, or thermostability of enzymes. We have now introduced a crucial element to knowledge‐guided targeted mutagenesis in general that helps to solve the numbers problem in directed evolution. We show that the choice of the amino acid (aa) alphabet, as specified by the utilized codon degeneracy, provides the experimenter with a powerful tool in designing “smarter” randomized libraries that require considerably less screening effort. A systematic comparison of two different codon degeneracies was made by examining the relative quality of the identically sized enzyme libraries in relation to the degree of oversampling required in the screening process. The specific example in our case study concerns the conventional NNK codon degeneracy (32 codons/20 aa) versus NDT (12 codons/12 aa). The model reaction is the hydrolytic kinetic resolution of a chiral trans‐disubstituted epoxide, catalyzed by the epoxide hydrolase from Aspergillus niger. The NDT library proves to be of much higher quality, as measured by the dramatically higher frequency of positive variants and by the magnitude of catalyst improvement (enhanced rate and enantioselectivity). We provide a statistical analysis that constitutes a useful guide for the optimal design and generation of “smarter” focused libraries. This type of approach accelerates the process of laboratory evolution considerably and can be expected to be broadly applicable when engineering functional proteins in general.

Published: June 2008

TMEDA‐free (TMEDA: tetramethylethylenediamine) LiCH2SMe is a suitable reagent for the selective introduction of (methylthio)methyl groups into PhBBr2and itsp‐silylated derivative Me3SiC6H4BBr2. The resulting compounds, R*C6H4B(Br)(CH2SMe) (R*=H:2; R*=SiMe3:7) and PhB(CH2SMe)2(3), form cyclic dimers through BS adduct bonds in solution and in the solid state. Compounds2and3have successfully been used for preparing the (N2S) scorpionate [PhBpz2(CH2SMe)]−([5]−) (pz: pyrazol‐1‐yl) and the (NS2) scorpionate [PhBpz(CH2SMe)2]−, respectively. Compound7proved to be an excellent building block for the heteroditopic poly(pyrazol‐1‐yl)boratep‐[pz3BC6H4Bpz2(CH2SMe)]2−([10]2−) that mimics the two ligation sites of the copper enzymes peptidylglycine α‐hydroxylating monooxygenase and dopamine β‐monooxygenase. Treatment of the monotopic tripod [5]−with CuCl and CuBr2results in the formation of complexes K[Cu(5)2] and [Cu(5)2]. An X‐ray crystallography study of K[Cu(5)2] revealed a tetrahedral (N2S2) coordination environment for the CuIion, whereas the CuIIion of [Cu(5)2] possesses a square‐pyramidal (N4S) ligand sphere (S‐atom in the axial position). The remarkable redox properties of K[Cu(5)2] and [Cu(5)2] have been assessed by cyclic voltammetry and quantum chemical calculations. The reaction of K[Cu(5)2] with dry air leads to the CuIIspecies [Cu(5)2] and to a tetranuclear CuIIcomplex featuring [PhB(O)pz2]2−ligands. Addition of CuCl to K2[10] gives the complex K3[Cu(10)2] containing two ligand molecules per CuIcenter. The CuIion binds to both heteroscorpionate moieties and thereby establishes a coordination environment similar to that of the CuIion in K[Cu(5)2].
