Normalizing memory recall in fibromyalgia with rehearsal: A distraction‐counteracting effect
Authors: Leavitt Frank , Katz Robert S.
Published: May 2009

Objective

To examine the impact of distraction on the retention of rehearsed information in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).

Methods

Data refer to the neurocognitive examination of 134 patients (91 with FMS and 43 control subjects) presenting with memory loss. Four neurocognitive measures free of distraction, along with 2 measures with added distraction, were completed. Differences in the retention of rehearsed and unrehearsed information with a source of distraction present were calculated.

Results

Patients with FMS showed normal cognitive functioning on verbal memory tests free of distraction. Adding a source of distraction caused unrefreshed information to be lost at a disproportionate rate in patients with FMS. Over 87% of patients with FMS scored in the impaired range on a task of unrehearsed verbal memory. Adding a source of distraction to well‐rehearsed information produced a normal rate of recall in FMS.

Conclusion

Rehearsal mechanisms are intact in patients with FMS and play beneficial roles in managing interference from a source of distraction. In the absence of rehearsal, a source of distraction added to unrefreshed information signals a remarkable level of cognitive deficit in FMS that goes undetected by conventionally relied‐upon neurocognitive measures. We present a theory to promote understanding of the cognitive deficit of people with FMS based on reduced speed of lexical activation and poor recall after distraction.
Role of CTA1R7K‐COL‐DD as a novel therapeutic mucosal tolerance–inducing vector for treatment of collagen‐induced arthritis
Authors: Hasselberg Annemarie , Schön Karin , Tarkowski Andrej , Lycke Nils
Published: May 2009

Objective

To determine whether a cholera toxin–derived, novel immunomodulating fusion protein, CTA1R7K‐COL‐DD, carrying the class II major histocompatibility complex H‐2q–restricted type II collagen peptide aa 259–274, can induce therapeutic tolerance and prevent collagen‐induced arthritis (CIA) when administered intranasally in DBA/1 mice, and to assess whether ADP‐ribosylation at the mucosal membranes exerts a regulatory function such that the outcome of tolerance or immune enhancement can be controlled.

Methods

DBA/1 mice with CIA were treated intranasally with CTA1R7K‐COL‐DD. The therapeutic effect was monitored for 46 days after the onset of disease. Clinical scoring of disease, histologic examination of inflammation, and bone erosion were assessed, and cytokine levels were determined in the serum or supernatants from splenocytes stimulated with recall antigen.

Results

The protective effect of CTA1R7K‐COL‐DD resulted in roughly 60% of the mice having no clinical signs or histologic evidence of disease after treatment, and those with CIA had significantly milder disease with less bone erosion. The protective status was associated with lower serum titers of IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgG3 anticollagen and a substantial decrease in the production of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), IL‐17, and interferon‐γ, while levels of IL‐10 were markedly up‐regulated both in the serum and at the T cell level.

Conclusion

The enzymatically inactive mutant fusion protein CTA1R7K‐COL‐DD provided substantial therapeutic protection against CIA following intranasal administration. The mechanism behind the effect appears to be mediated by peptide‐specific regulatory T cells induced by mucosal exposure to the peptide containing CTA1R7K‐COL‐DD vector. In addition, ADP‐ribosylation at the mucosal membranes acts as a key regulator controlling mucosal tolerance or immunity.
Induction of complete and sustained remission of rheumatoid pachymeningitis by rituximab
Authors: Schmid L. , Müller M. , Treumann T. , Arnold W. , Möller B. , Aeberli D. , Villiger P. M.
Published: May 2009

Aseptic pachymeningitis is a rare and serious complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Herein, we describe a patient with rheumatoid factor–positive and anti–cyclic citrullinated peptide–positive RA who experienced a focal seizure, with aphasia and convulsions of the right side of the body. The findings of magnetic resonance imaging and histologic analysis led to a diagnosis of rheumatoid pachymeningitis. Because the patient had a large number of CD20‐expressing B lymphocytes, therapy with rituximab was started and has resulted in complete and sustained remission of both the pachymeningitis and the RA for >2 years. Despite a decrease in immunoglobulins, the patient has remained free of infections, which illustrates the favorable outcome that can result from therapeutic B cell depletion in this potentially lethal manifestation of RA.
Dramatic efficacy of infliximab in cauda equina syndrome complicating ankylosing spondylitis
Authors: Cornec Divi , Pensec Valérie Devauchelle , Joulin Sandrine Jousse , Saraux Alain
Published: May 2009

Cauda equina syndrome is an uncommon complication of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) characterized by the slow and insidious development of severe neurologic impairment. Imaging studies usually show a wide lumbar canal with dural ectasia. No medical or surgical treatment has been proven effective. We managed the care of a 66‐year‐old man who had longstanding AS and clinical features of cauda equina syndrome, including anal incontinence and buttock hypoesthesia. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated no cause for these symptoms other than AS. The patient was treated with infliximab, a monoclonal antibody to tumor necrosis factor α that is used for the treatment of active AS. After 3 infliximab infusions, sphincter control and sensation were normal. The treatment was continued, and he was still doing well 1 year later. This is the first report of an effective treatment for cauda equina syndrome complicating AS. Our case report strongly supports an inflammatory mechanism to this condition.

The tetragonal BaTiO3 nanopowder is synthesized in a solvent‐less, efficient process by the thermolysis of a single [Ba2Ti2(thd)4(OnPr)8(nPrOH)2] precursor in a closed reactor at 700 °C under autogenous pressure, followed by combustion. This paper compiles the synthesis of the [Ba2Ti2(thd)4(OnPr)8(nPrOH)2] precursor, its analysis by mass spectrometry, and implementation for the fabrication of dielectric tetragonal BaTiO3 nanopowder by controlled efficient thermal decomposition. The as‐prepared, intermediate, and final forms of the obtained nanomaterials are systematically analysed by XRD, Raman, and EDS measurements to gain structural and compositional information. Employing HR‐SEM, TEM, and HR‐TEM techniques, the morphological changes during the structural evolution of all the phases are pursued. The mechanistic elucidation for the fabrication of BaTiO3 nanopowder is developed on the basis of TGA and DTA data obtained for the initial [Ba2Ti2(thd)4(OnPr)8(nPrOH)2] reactant as well as the as‐prepared BaCO3 with amorphous Ti phase.
Micro‐computed tomography and alizarin red evaluations of boric acid–induced fetal skeletal changes in Sprague‐Dawley rats
Authors: Wise L. David , Winkelmann Christopher T.
Published: May 2009

BACKGROUND: Assessment of developmental toxicity has historically included assessment of fetal skeletal morphology after alizarin red staining. X‐ray micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT) produces high‐resolution images of skeletal structures and was investigated as an alternative method. METHODS: Groups of 5 mated Crl:CD (SD) female rats each were administered vehicle or boric acid (40 to 500 mg/kg/day) from GD 6 through 11. On GD 21, all live fetuses were weighed, euthanized, and viscera removed. Each litter was placed into a custom‐made polystyrene holder and scanned in the micro‐CT imaging system. Raw projection data were acquired in approximately 15 sec (∼20 litters per hour) and reconstructed images at 100‐micron cubic voxel dimension could be viewed as early as 20 min later. Fetuses were subsequently stained with alizarin red, and findings recorded separately for each method without knowledge of treatment group. RESULTS: Micro‐CT evaluation of fetal rat skeletons detected essentially the same skeletal malformations, variations, and incomplete ossifications as seen by the staining method. The specific skeletal abnormalities that did not match exactly involved the smallest skeletal elements with minimal degrees of ossification (i.e., cervical ribs, hypoplastic 13th ribs, supernumerary ribs, the 5th sternebra, and numbers of caudal vertebrae), but the differences did not impact the overall conclusions. Additional measures such as femur length were easily measured by micro‐CT. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that micro‐CT imaging can effectively assess rat fetal skeletal structures, and for those laboratories with this resource, it may be used to significantly reduce time prior to skeletal evaluation and hazardous wastes associated with staining.

Evaluation of hydroxyurea‐induced fetal skeletal changes in Dutch belted rabbits by micro‐computed tomography and alizarin red staining
Authors: Wise L. David , Winkelmann Christopher T.
Published: May 2009

BACKGROUND: This laboratory has been investigating the utility of X‐ray micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT) to produce high‐resolution, 3D images of skeletal structures in common laboratory species. The present investigation uses micro‐CT evaluation of skeletons from rabbit fetuses exposed to the known teratogen, hydroxyurea. METHODS: Groups of 4–6 mated Dutch Belted female rabbits each were administered vehicle or hydroxyurea (62.5 to 500 mg/kg) once on GD 12. On GD 28, all live fetuses were weighed, euthanized, and viscera removed. Up to 7 fetuses per litter were placed into a custom‐made polystyrene holder and scanned in the micro‐CT imaging system. Raw projection data were acquired in approximately 15 seconds, and reconstructed images at 100‐micron cubic voxel dimension could be viewed as early as 20 minutes later. Fetuses were subsequently stained with alizarin red, and findings recorded separately for each method without knowledge of treatment group. RESULTS: Except for a few isolated cases, micro‐CT evaluation detected the same skeletal malformations, variations, and incomplete ossifications as seen by the staining method. Skeletal elements that are very small (e.g., caudal‐most vertebrae, metacarpal no. 1) or those with a minimal degree of ossification were occasionally not observed with micro‐CT. However, this difference did not impact the overall study conclusions. Femur length was easily measured by micro‐CT. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that micro‐CT imaging can effectively assess rabbit fetal skeletal structures, and for those laboratories with this resource, may be used to significantly reduce time prior to skeletal evaluation and hazardous wastes associated with staining.

The role of the concentration and distribution of water in the complex permittivity of breast fat tissue
Authors: Said Tarek , Varadan Vasundara V.
Published: May 2009

The structure of breast tissue is complicated and highly variable and presents a great challenge in the development of physical models that may be used to obtain its effective complex permittivity. Empirical models are commonly used by researchers to fit measured data and extrapolated to higher frequencies. However, these models have not been verified experimentally at higher frequencies. Theoretical models of tissue permittivity to explain the role of water are not available today. This communication is a systematic study of several models to estimate the complex permittivity of breast fat tissue based on volume content and distribution of water in the tissue. These models are implemented in (i) long wavelength, sparse concentration limit; (ii) full wave finite element simulation; and (iii) numerical implementation of dynamic multiple scattering theory. A comparison of the proposed models with experimental data is done at 3.2 GHz. Some of the measurement values are in fair agreement with the modeling. The results of the present study are useful for interpreting the large variability in experimentally measured values of the permittivity of breast fat tissue by taking the distribution of water into account.

Biosynthesis and characterization of 3‐hydroxyalkanoate terpolyesters with adjustable properties by Aeromonas hydrophila
Authors: Zhang Hai‐Feng , Ma Long , Wang Zhi‐Hui , Chen Guo‐Qiang
Published: May 2009

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) terployesters P(3HB‐co‐3HV‐co‐3HHx) consisting of 3‐hydroxybutyrate (3HB), 3‐hydroxyvalerate (3HV), and 3‐hydroxyhexanoate (3HHx) were produced by wild‐type Aeromonas hydrophila 4AK4, its recombinant harboring PHA synthesis genes phaPCJ encoding PHA binding protein phasin, PHA synthase, and enoyl‐CoA hydratase, and another its recombinant harboring phaAB encoding beta‐ketothiolase and acetoacetyl‐CoA reductase, respectively, when grown in lauric acid and/or valerate. The terpolyesters produced by A. hydrophila 4AK4 (phaAB) grown in velarate were found to produce copolymers P(3HB‐co‐3HV) containing high 3HV fractions with a maximum of 99 mol% 3HV. In terpolyesters, 3HV ranged from 9 to 32 mol% depending on the valerate concentration and strain used. A maximal terpolyester P(3HB‐co‐3HV‐co‐3HHx) content in dry cells was 71 wt%. Transmission electron microscopy study of A. hydrophila 4AK4 harboring phaPCJ revealed the full occupation of terpolyester P(3HB‐co‐3HV‐co‐HHx) in the cellular spaces. Terpolyesters with various monomer compositions showed changing thermal and mechanical properties. Those with higher 3HV fractions demonstrated an improved property over the lower HV containing ones.

Plasmid DNA production combining antibiotic‐free selection, inducible high yield fermentation, and novel autolytic purification
Authors: Carnes Aaron E. , Hodgson Clague P. , Luke Jeremy M. , Vincent Justin M. , Williams James A.
Published: May 2009

DNA vaccines and gene medicines, derived from bacterial plasmids, are emerging as an important new class of pharmaceuticals. However, the challenges of performing cell lysis processes for plasmid DNA purification at an industrial scale are well known. To address downstream purification challenges, we have developed autolytic Escherichia coli host strains that express endolysin (phage λR) in the cytoplasm. Expression of the endolysin is induced during fermentation by a heat inducible promoter. The endolysin remains in the cytoplasm, where it is separated from its peptidoglycan substrate in the cell wall; hence the cells remain alive and intact and can be harvested by the usual methods. The plasmid DNA is then recovered by autolytic extraction under slightly acidic, low salt buffer conditions and treatment with a low concentration of non‐ionic detergent. Under these conditions the E. coli genomic DNA remains associated with the insoluble cell debris and is removed by a solid–liquid separation. Here, we report fermentation, lysis methods, and plasmid purification using autolytic hosts. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2009; 104: 505–515 © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Understanding the mechanism of virus removal by Q sepharose fast flow chromatography during the purification of CHO‐cell derived biotherapeutics

Published: May 2009

During production of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in mammalian cell culture, it is important to ensure that viral impurities and potential viral contaminants will be removed during downstream purification. Anion exchange chromatography provides a high degree of virus removal from mAb feedstocks, but the mechanism by which this is achieved has not been characterized. In this work, we have investigated the binding of three viruses to Q sepharose fast flow (QSFF) resin to determine the degree to which electrostatic interactions are responsible for viral clearance by this process. We first used a chromatofocusing technique to determine the isoelectric points of the viruses and established that they are negatively charged under standard QSFF conditions. We then determined that virus removal by this chromatography resin is strongly disrupted by the presence of high salt concentrations or by the absence of the positively charged Q ligand, indicating that binding of the virus to the resin is primarily due to electrostatic forces, and that any non‐electrostatic interactions which may be present are not sufficient to provide virus removal. Finally, we determined the binding profile of a virus in a QSFF column after a viral clearance process. These data indicate that virus particles generally behave similarly to proteins, but they also illustrate the high degree of performance necessary to achieve several logs of virus reduction. Overall, this mechanistic understanding of an important viral clearance process provides the foundation for the development of science‐based process validation strategies to ensure viral safety of biotechnology products.

The effects of UV‐B stress on the production of terpenoid indole alkaloids in Catharanthus roseus hairy roots
Authors: Binder Bernard Y. K. , Peebles Christie A. M. , Shanks Jacqueline V. , San Ka‐Yiu
Published: May 2009

In nature, plants generate protective secondary metabolites in response to environmental stresses. Such metabolites include terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs), which absorb UV‐B light and serve putatively to protect the plant from harmful radiation. Catharanthus roseus plants, multiple shoot cultures, and cell suspension cultures exposed to UV‐B light show significant increases in the production of TIAs, including precursors to vinblastine and vincristine, which have proven effective in the treatment of leukemia and lymphoma. Here, the effect of UV‐B light on C. roseus hairy roots was examined. Analysis of alkaloid concentrations up to 168 h after UV‐B exposure shows significant increases in the concentrations of lochnericine and significant decreases in the concentration of hörhammericine over time (ANOVA, P < 0.05). Our results also indicate that increasing UV‐B exposure time up to 20 min caused significant increases in lochnericine, serpentine, and ajmalicine and a decrease in hörhammericine (t‐test, p < 0.05). © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Published: May 2009

This article presents the design of a system that can be used in different teaching and learning activities, in particular teaching assembly language programming and basic computer architecture for undergraduate studies. The system can be a self‐learning tool for students. On the other hand, teachers can utilize this system to develop prototype systems and to demonstrate theories pertaining to operations of microprocessor‐based systems. This educational tool includes hardware and software components, which were developed by the authors. The design of this system is based on principles of constructivism and learning is through hands‐on experience. The system is very flexible and users can incorporate new modules for more advanced learning. Due to its flexibility and ease of use, it can also be employed as a supplementary tool for teaching other engineering subjects. Data collected from our evaluation study shows that majority of users found the system easy to use. In this article, features of the system, as well as its design and evaluation results are presented. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Comput Appl Eng Educ 19: 286–293, 2011

The analogues 7–9 of 7‐oxaceramide and 7‐oxasphingosine were synthesized from the known azidosphingosine 21. The 1,4‐disubstituted 1,2,3‐triazole analogues 10–16 of ceramides were synthesized by the click reaction of the known azide 24. None of the analogues 7–15 was active as inhibitor of SPHK type 1 and of acid sphingomyelinase, whereas 16 is a weak inhibitor of SPHK1. Triazoles 10, 11, and 15 did not inhibit ceramide phosphorylation by CerK, and none of 7, 8, and 10–15 activated invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell clones when presented by human CD1d‐transfected antigen‐presenting cells (APC) or by plate‐bound human CD1d [55]. Triazoles 14 and 15 prevent binding of α‐galactosylceramide (α‐GalCer) to plate‐bound human CD1d and subsequent T‐cell response to α‐GalCer. Only 15 reduced activation by α‐GalCer significantly and independently of the cytokine measured.
Stacked partial least squares regression analysis for spectral calibration and prediction
Authors: Ni Wangdong , Brown Steven D. , Man Ruilin
Published: May 2009

Two novel algorithms which employ the idea of stacked generalization or stacked regression, stacked partial least squares (SPLS) and stacked moving‐window partial least squares (SMWPLS) are reported in the present paper. The new algorithms establish parallel, conventional PLS models based on all intervals of a set of spectra to take advantage of the information from the whole spectrum by incorporating parallel models in a way to emphasize intervals highly related to the target property. It is theoretically and experimentally illustrated that the predictive ability of these two stacked methods combining all subsets or intervals of the whole spectrum is never poorer than that of a PLS model based only on the best interval. These two stacking algorithms generate more parsimonious regression models with better predictive power than conventional PLS, and perform best when the spectral information is neither isolated to a single, small region, nor spread uniformly over the response. A simulation data set is employed in this work not only to demonstrate this improvement, but also to demonstrate that stacked regressions have the potential capability of predicting property information from an outlier spectrum in the prediction set. Moisture, oil, protein and starch in Cargill corn samples have been successfully predicted by these new algorithms, as well as hydroxyl number for different instruments of terpolymer samples including and excluding an outlier spectrum.

Breathe easy: Reversible H2O and NH3 gas uptake by 2D calcium tetraphosphonates (see figure) is accompanied by framework structural changes similar to those previously reported for some carboxylate‐based hybrids. This breathing mechanism is accompanied by a volume increase of 55 %, while maintaining the topology and crystallinity of the material.

magnified image

The structures of various layered calcium tetraphosphonates (CaH6DTMP; H8DTMP=hexamethylenediamine tetrakis(methylenephosphonic acid)), have been determined. Starting from CaH6DTMP⋅2H2O, thermal treatment and subsequent exposure to NH3 and/or H2O vapors led to four new compounds that showed high storage capacity of guest species between the layers (up to ten H2O/NH3 molecules) and a maximum volume increase of 55 %. The basic building block for these phosphonates consists of an eight‐membered ring chelating Ca2+ through two phoshonate groups, and the organic ligand is located within the layers, which are held together by hydrogen bonds. The structural analysis revealed that the uptake/removal of guest species (H2O and NH3) induces significant changes in the framework not only by changing the interlayer distances but also through important conformational changes of the organic ligand. An anisotropic breathing motion could be quantified by the changes of the unit‐cell dimensions and ligand arrangements in four crystalline derivatives. Complete characterization revealed the existence of interconversion reactions between the different phases upon gas uptake and release. The observed behavior represents, to the best of our knowledge, the first example of a breathing‐like mechanism in metal phosphonates that possess a 2D topology.
