Effect of a Perturbation-Based Balance Training Program on Compensatory Stepping and Grasping Reactions in Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Mansfield Avril , Peters Amy L. , Liu Barbara A. , Maki Brian E.
Published: February 2010

Background

Compensatory stepping and grasping reactions are prevalent responses to sudden loss of balance and play a critical role in preventing falls. The ability to execute these reactions effectively is impaired in older adults.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a perturbation-based balance training program designed to target specific age-related impairments in compensatory stepping and grasping balance recovery reactions.

Design

This was a double-blind randomized controlled trial.

Setting

The study was conducted at research laboratories in a large urban hospital.

Participants

Thirty community-dwelling older adults (aged 64–80 years) with a recent history of falls or self-reported instability participated in the study.

Intervention

Participants were randomly assigned to receive either a 6-week perturbation-based (motion platform) balance training program or a 6-week control program involving flexibility and relaxation training.

Measurements

Features of balance reactions targeted by the perturbation-based program were: (1) multi-step reactions, (2) extra lateral steps following anteroposterior perturbations, (3) foot collisions following lateral perturbations, and (4) time to complete grasping reactions. The reactions were evoked during testing by highly unpredictable surface translation and cable pull perturbations, both of which differed from the perturbations used during training.

Results

Compared with the control program, the perturbation-based training led to greater reductions in frequency of multi-step reactions and foot collisions that were statistically significant for surface translations but not cable pulls. The perturbation group also showed significantly greater reduction in handrail contact time compared with the control group for cable pulls and a possible trend in this direction for surface translations.

Limitations

Further work is needed to determine whether a maintenance program is needed to retain the training benefits and to assess whether these benefits reduce fall risk in daily life.

Conclusion

Perturbation-based training shows promise as an effective intervention to improve the ability of older adults to prevent themselves from falling when they lose their balance.
Macrophage activation syndrome in an inadequately treated patient with systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Authors: Juneja M , Jain R , Mishra D
Published: February 2010

Macrophage activation syndrome is a rare and potentially life threatening complication of childhood rheumatic disorders. It is described most commonly with systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (soJIA). The major clinical manifestations are non-remitting fever, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, bleeding diathesis, altered mental status and rash and may mimic a flare of soJIA. The characteristic laboratory findings are leucopenia, thrombocytopenia and dramatic elevation of urinary β2 microglobulin. Corticosteroids and cyclosporine are the drugs commonly used in its management. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can be life saving. We report a case of 12 year old female child with inadequately treated systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis who developed fatal macrophage activation syndrome. The diagnosis and management of macrophage activation syndrome are discussed. Key words: Macrophage activation syndrome; systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis; leucopenia; children.

Bilateral superficial brachial artery
Authors: Sharma T , Singla RK , Sachdeva K
Published: February 2010

Variations of the upper limb arterial system are well documented. Accurate knowledge of the normal and variant arterial anatomy of the axillary artery is important for clinical procedures and vascular radiology. In this article, a rare bilateral variation of superficial brachial artery is being reported. The axillary artery on both sides divided in its third part into a superficial brachial artery passing superficial to the lateral root of median nerve and brachial artery proper. The former terminated in the cubital fossa by dividing into ulnar and radial arteries while the later descended deep to the medial root of median nerve and gave anterior and posterior circumflex humeral branches of axillary artery and profunda brachii of brachial artery. Then it terminated by giving twigs to muscles of arm. Earlier superficial brachial artery is reported with a prevalence rate varying from 0.2 - 25 % but a bilateral variation is extremely rare. Further its ontogeny and clinical implications are discussed in detail. Key words: Superficial brachial artery; brachial artery; Axillary artery   DOI: 10.3126/kumj.v7i4.2768 Kathmandu University Medical Journal (2009) Vol.7, No.4 Issue 28, 426-428
Forbidden But Not Suppressed: a ‘Vernacular’ Land Market in Svosve Communal Lands, Zimbabwe
Authors: Chimhowu Admos , Woodhouse Philip
Published: February 2010

This article examines the status of land tenure in Zimbabwe following the ‘Fast Track’ land reforms of 2000–3. It finds that post-reform land tenure remains strongly dualist, with land sales and rental prohibited on the land (about two thirds of the total) classified as ‘A1’ resettlement or ‘communal areas’, while tradeable leases apply to much of the remainder, classified as ‘commercial land’. The article draws on fieldwork in Svosve Communal Area and on previous studies on land transactions in Zimbabwe to argue that land sales and rental transactions are an enduring feature of land use in Zimbabwe's ‘communal areas’. Moreover, the article argues that, despite government prohibition, there is evidence that such transactions are being fuelled by increasing demand for land arising from the collapse in the non-farm economy in Zimbabwe. The article argues that while the logic of informal (or ‘vernacular’) land sales and rental is widely recognized by land users in communal and resettlement areas, government prohibition, in favour of asserting land allocation rights of customary authorities, is driven by considerations of political control of the rural vote.
Highly Pure Synthesis, Spectral Assignments, and Two‐Photon Properties of Cruciform Porphyrin Pentamers Fused with Benzene Units

Published: February 2010

Tetrameric porphyrin formation of 2‐hydroxymethylpyrrole fused with porphyrins through a bicyclo[2.2.2]octadiene unit gave bicyclo[2.2.2]octadiene‐fused porphyrin pentamers. Thermal conversion of the pentamers gave fully π‐conjugated cruciform porphyrin pentamers fused with benzene units in quantitative yields. UV/Vis spectra of fully π‐conjugated porphyrin pentamers showed one very strong Q absorption and were quite different from those of usual porphyrins. From TD‐DFT calculations, the HOMO level is 0.49 eV higher than the HOMO−1 level. The LUMO and LUMO+1 levels are very close and are lower by more than 0.27 eV than those of other unoccupied MOs. The strong Q absorption was interpreted as two mutually orthogonal single‐electron transitions (683 nm: 86 %, HOMO→LUMO; 680 nm: 86 %, HOMO→LUMO+1). The two‐photon absorption (TPA) cross section value (σ(2)) of the benzene‐fused porphyrin pentamer was estimated to be 3900 GM at 1500 nm, which is strongly correlated with a cruciform molecular structure with multidirectional π‐conjugation pathways.

Mothers' dopamine receptor polymorphism modulates the relation between infant fussiness and sensitive parenting
Authors: Kaitz Marsha , Shalev Idan , Sapir Noam , Devor Noa , Samet Yekutiel , Mankuta David , Ebstein Richard P.
Published: February 2010

We determined whether the combination of the 48‐bp variable number tandem repeat polymorphism of the dopamine (DRD4) gene and infants' (fussy‐difficult) temperament predicted parenting sensitivity. The sample was comprised of 147 mothers and their 6‐month olds. Sensitive parenting was assessed by coding filmed interactions between mothers and infants. Infant temperament was assessed by parents' reports on a standard questionnaire. Moderated regressions models, with maternal education and infants' interactive behavior as controls, were used to test our hypotheses. Results showed no main effects of either temperament or DRD4, though the maternal DRD4 × infant temperament interaction was significant. Probes indicated that parents with a DRD4 7‐repeat allele behaved more sensitively to fussier infants and less sensitively to less fussy infants compared to parents without the 7‐repeat allele. Among those parents, sensitivity did not vary with infant temperament. This pattern of results indicates that mothers are differentially susceptible to infant fussiness, dependent on the presence of the 7‐repeat DRD4 allele. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The iminophenol 3,5‐tBu2‐2‐(OH)C6H2CH=NR and theaminophenol 3,5‐tBu2‐2‐(OH)C6H2CH2‐NHR (R = tBu, 2,6‐Me2C6H3, C6F5) were prepared in good yields by the appropriate synthetic methods. Reactions of these compounds with AlH3·NEtMe2 in toluene gave the mononuclear [AlH{3,5‐tBu2‐2‐(O)C6H2CH2‐NR}·NEtMe2] [R = 2,6‐Me2C6H3 (3), C6F5 (4)] or dinuclear [AlH{μ‐3,5‐tBu2‐2‐(O)C6H2CH2‐NtBu}]2 (5) phenoxido–amido aluminium derivatives. All synthesized complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopic and analytical methods. The X‐ray structure of 5 shows a dinuclear molecule in which the aluminium centres are unusually linked by μ2‐N(amido) atoms to form a central planar Al2N2 ring in a clearly preferential disposition over the more common Al2O2 ring. The experimental work has been assisted by the B3LYP functional and the 6‐31G* basis sets as implemented in Gaussian 03 calculations to determine the role played by the nitrogen substituent group in the structural disposition adopted by the prepared (monohydrido)aluminium compounds, in order to evaluate the factors affecting the coordination modes of the phenoxido–amido ligand on aluminium.

Inflammatory bowel diseases are represented by ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, both consisting of a chronic, uncontrolled inflammation of the intestinal mucosa of any part of the gastrointestinal tract with patchy or continuous inflammation. Ileo‐colonoscopy is considered the current gold standard imaging technique for the diagnosis. However, as the majority of patients need a long‐term follow‐up it would be ideal to rely on a non‐invasive technique with good compliance. This review focuses on nuclear medicine imaging techniques in Crohn's disease. Different scintigraphic methods of imaging cells involved in the pathogenesis are described. The radiopharmaceuticals can be divided into non‐specific radiopharmaceuticals for inflammation and specific radiopharmaceuticals that directly image lymphocytes involved in the process. This non‐invasive molecular imaging approach can be useful also because it images the small bowel or other areas––where colonoscopy is not useful—and that it may play a role for constant follow‐up, because relapses are frequent. Finally, an update on other imaging modalities, and particularly MRI, in the evaluation of Crohn's disease activity, is provided. Although MRI cannot directly detect inflammatory cells, it has shown a high sensitivity in detecting the macroscopic signs of inflammation at the level of the intestinal wall affected by Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis. The current diagnostic value of MRI in the detection of inflamed bowel segment and in the assessment of CD activity, as well the potentials MR spectroscopy, MR diffusion imaging and MR molecular imaging, is briefly discussed.

Differences in principals' leadership behavior in high‐ and low‐performing schools
Authors: Lindahl Ronald A.
Published: February 2010

This study was based on data from the 2008 Take20: Alabama Teaching and Learning Conditions Survey and focused on a comparison of teachers' perceptions of how school principals exercise their role in both high‐ and low‐performing elementary and middle schools that serve high‐poverty student populations. Teachers in the high‐performing schools consistently viewed their principals' behavior more positively than did their counterparts in the lower‐performing schools. Teachers reported less difference in regard to engaging the community to create shared responsibility for student and school success. Very little difference existed in the principal's involvement of teachers in key school decisions; neither population of principals scored high in this area.
Chemical imaging of glucose by CARS microscopy
Authors: Åkeson Madeleine , Brackmann Christian , Gustafsson Lena , Enejder Annika
Published: February 2010

Glucose is one of the most fundamental molecules within life and bioengineering sciences. Present understanding of its role in cellular and bioengineering processes relies primarily on invasive, large‐scale biochemical analysis, providing no spatial information on glucose pools or fluxes. This work identifies an emerging microscopy technique based on coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), which fulfills the need of quantitative imaging of glucose at the single‐cell level with submicrometer resolution. No sample preparation with reporter molecules is required, ensuring that the low‐weight metabolite is studied under natural conditions. The potential of CARS microscopy is illustrated by quantitatively mapping glucose fluxes and distributions in a microfluidic bioreactor and in lipid‐bilayer vesicles, the latter as a model for glucose transmembrane transport. Furthermore, the metabolic response to a glucose pulse was monitored in living yeast cells. This study signifies a new era within CARS microscopy for its use of monitoring carbohydrates, in particular glucose which is one of the most abundant molecules in nature.

Published: February 2010

A preparative high‐speed counter‐current chromatography method for isolation and purification of flavonoid compounds from Oroxylum indicum was successfully established by using ionic liquids as the modifier of the two‐phase solvent system. Two flavonoid compounds including baicalein‐7‐O‐diglucoside and baicalein‐7‐O‐glucoside were purified from the crude extract of O. indicum by using ethyl acetate–water–[C4mim][PF6] (5:5:0.2, v/v) as two‐phase solvent system. 36.4 mg of baicalein‐7‐O‐diglucoside and 60.5 mg of baicalein‐7‐O‐glucoside were obtained from 120 mg of the crude extract. Their purities were 98.7 and 99.1%, respectively, as determined by HPLC area normalization method. The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were identified by 1H‐NMR and 13C‐NMR.
Hydrogenation to products with IV below 1
Authors: Schaaf Tanja , Greven Heinzpeter
Published: February 2010

The hydrogenation of fatty acids (FA) or fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) is a fundamental process to manufacture basic oleochemicals, like stabilizers and surfactants. These kinds of oleochemicals are used in downstream processes, to obtain products which are easily bio‐degradable, non‐irritant to the skin, and equipped with other favourable characteristics. In principle the FA or FAME are hydrogenated in a reactor under pressure, higher temperature and in the presence of a metallic catalyst, such as nickel or palladium. The process can be controlled in a desired direction by appropriate choice of these parameters to get a product with different degrees of saturation, melting properties and colour. The commonly used process nowadays is a batch process. The hydrogenation reaction is carried out in a loop or stirred reactor, in the presence of a suspended catalyst. After the reaction the catalyst must be removed from the product by an elaborate and time‐consuming filtration. This leads to higher consumption of catalyst. Another concern is that Ni‐soaps can be formed during the process leading to deactivation of catalyst and the presence of nickel in the final product. Therefore the fixed bed method was developed to eliminate these disadvantages. A pilot plant was constructed in which the catalyst is fixed on a carrier matrix and filled into the reactor and a test run was carried out with FA from tallow and FAME from palm oil. The iodine value of < 0.1 in hydrogenated FAME was achieved as required by the industry for the production of surfactants. In the fixed bed hydrogenation for ME nickel catalyst and for FA a palladium catalyst is used. Furthermore catalyst is reused, its consumption is reduced and the formation of byproducts is minimized. The process is characterized by a high reliability, feed flexibility, easy control and high yield.
Myocardial infarction quantification with Manganese‐Enhanced MRI (MEMRI) in mice using a 3T clinical scanner

Manganese (Mn2+) was recognized early as an efficient intracellular MR contrast agent to assess cardiomyocyte viability. It had previously been used for the assessment of myocardial infarction in various animal models from pig to mouse. However, whether Manganese‐Enhanced MRI (MEMRI) is also able to assess infarction in the acute phase of a coronary occlusion reperfusion model in mice has not yet been demonstrated. This model is of particular interest as it is closer to the situation encountered in the clinical setting. This study aimed to measure infarction volume taking TTC staining as a gold standard, as well as global and regional function before and after Mn2+ injection using a clinical 3T scanner. The first step of this study was to perform a dose‐response curve in order to optimize the injection protocol. Infarction volume measured with MEMRI was strongly correlated to TTC staining. Ejection fraction (EF) and percent wall thickening measurements allowed evaluation of global and regional function. While EF must be measured before Mn2+ injection to avoid bias introduced by the reduction of contrast in cine images, percent wall thickening can be measured either before or after Mn2+ injection and depicts accurately infarct related contraction deficit. This study is the first step for further longitudinal studies of cardiac disease in mice on a clinical 3T scanner, a widely available platform. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Discovery of a putative acetoin dehydrogenase complex in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus
Authors: Payne Karl A.P. , Hough David W. , Danson Michael J.
Published: February 2010

Like many other aerobic archaea, the hyperthermophile Sulfolobus solfataricus possesses a gene cluster encoding components of a putative 2‐oxoacid dehydrogenase complex. In the current paper, we have cloned and expressed the first two genes of this cluster and demonstrate that the protein products form an α2β2 hetero‐tetramer possessing the catalytic activity characteristic of the first component enzyme of an acetoin dehydrogenase multienzyme complex. This represents the first report of an acetoin multienzyme complex in archaea, and contrasts with the branched‐chain 2‐oxoacid dehydrogenase complex activities characterised in two other archaea, Thermoplasma acidophilum and Haloferax volcanii.
The tectonically defining space of Mies van der Rohe
Authors: Kim Ransoo
Published: February 2010

In a unique architectural style of the twentieth century, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969) realised a new type of modern space defined by an unobstructed clear volume enclosed by framed glass skin. This is generally referred to as Mies's universal space and this paper will attempt to interpret Miesian universal space in terms of the idea of tectonically defining space. Mies referred to the term ‘tectonic’, or ‘architectonic’, as constructive appearance exposing the skeleton structure. For Mies, the concept of tectonic was connected to a glassy materiality that permitted the unambiguously constructed appearance of a skeletal structure. He regarded the glass skin as a ‘tectonic means’ and the instrument of a new art of building.
