Authors: Qu Bing , Li Jun‐rong , Xiao Hui‐ning , He Bei‐hai , Qian Li‐ying
Published: June 2014

Sodium carboxymethylcellulose/poly(methyl acrylate) (NaCMC/PMA) interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) were prepared by fractional step in 40 wt % ethanol solution with N,N′‐methylenebisacrylamide as a crosslinker. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and differential scanning calorimeter were used to characterize the NaCMC/PMA IPN hydrogels and confirm the IPN structure as well. Simultaneously, adsorption of the obtained IPN hydrogels to methylene blue (MB) was also investigated. It was observed that the adsorption of MB onto the hydrogels was mainly dependent on the initial concentration of MB and the pH of the solution. Adsorption rate of MB was much higher in the first 9 h than that in the following period and saturated adsorption amount of MB was 2370 mg/g at the initial MB concentration of 100 mg/L. Moreover, the adsorption capacity of the IPN hydrogels at the neutral pH condition is much higher than those at acid or alkaline pH conditions. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Published: June 2014

Inherent physical properties and commercial availability makes poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) very attractive as a potential substitute material for nondegradable polymers for commodity applications. However, a balance of toughness and stiffness is needed in order to transfer this potential into reality, particularly for short‐term packaging applications. In this context, layered double hydroxide modified with palmitic acid (LDH‐palmitate), was used as a nanoadditive to enhance the mechanical properties of PCL. Composites from PCL were prepared by melt‐blending with LDH‐palmitate loadings in the 1−10 wt % range. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X‐ray diffraction were used to study the structure and morphology of the composites. The results showed homogeneous dispersion of clay particles in composites, but the degree of stacking of clay platelets was related to the LDH‐palmitate loadings. Charpy impact test measurements revealed an anomalous toughness improvement in the case of composite containing 5 wt % LDH‐palmitate, attributed to a combination of microcavitation and changes in crystallite sizes in the composite. The addition of LDH‐palmitate improved the water vapor barrier permeation of neat PCL film. In summary, LDH‐palmitate was shown to have potential as a nanoadditive to obtain tougher LDH‐PCL composite with improved barrier property. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Self‐assembled polymer nanocomposites and their networks
Authors: Patil Nitin , Kelsey Jarred , White Jeffery L.
Published: June 2014

Synthetic modifications to block‐copolymer structure‐directing agents lead to polymerizable macromers suitable for templating the growth of mesoporous silica particles, which can subsequently react in situ to form extended nanocomposites and nanocomposite networks. Suitably functionalized triblock polymers can preserve the structure‐directing capabilities of the triblock polymer for templating ordered mesoporous silica particle growth and also generate a reactive matrix for subsequent polymer network formation via the reactive end groups. The final self‐assembled products are polymer nanocomposites or novel crosslinked nanocomposite networks whose organic/inorganic composition ratios can vary systematically. The novel self‐assembly route described here should be generally applicable to the synthesis of intimately mixed nanocomposites and nanocomposite networks, starting from a wide variety of block polymeric template/macromer/ordered silica systems. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Authors: Browne P. A. , Charlton‐Perez C. , Dance S. L.
Published: June 2014

Data assimilation (DA) systems are evolving to meet the demands of convection‐permitting models in the field of weather forecasting. On 19 April 2013 a special interest group meeting of the Royal Meteorological Society brought together UK researchers looking at different aspects of the data assimilation problem at high resolution, from theory to applications, and researchers creating our future high resolution observational networks. The meeting was chaired by Dr Sarah Dance of the University of Reading and Dr Cristina Charlton‐Perez from the MetOffice@Reading.

The purpose of the meeting was to help define the current state of high resolution data assimilation in the UK. The workshop assembled three main types of scientists: observational network specialists, operational numerical weather prediction researchers and those developing the fundamental mathematical theory behind data assimilation and the underlying models. These three working areas are intrinsically linked; therefore, a holistic view must be taken when discussing the potential to make advances in high resolution data assimilation.

Published: June 2014

An optimized regeneration and Agrobacterium‐mediated transformation protocol based on whole cotyledonary node explants was developed in soybean (Glycine max) cultivar Zhong Huang 13. Adding 6‐benzylaminopurine (BAP) in a germinating medium could significantly increase regeneration efficiency; the optimal BAP concentration for shoot formation was 0.5 mg/L. The concentrations of plant growth regulators in a shoot induction medium were optimized by the orthogonal test [L9(33)]. The best combination for shoot regeneration was a medium of Murashige & Skoog salts with B5 vitamins (MSB) supplemented with 3.5 mg/L BAP, 0.2 mg/L indole‐3‐butyric acid (IBA), and 0.2 mg/L kinetin (KT). Under this favorable condition, one node could regenerate 28–30 shoots. Soybean whole cotyledonary nodes were transformed by inoculation with A. tumefaciens strain EHA105 harboring a vector pBI121 containing a β‐glucuronidase gene (gus). GUS assay, polymerase chain reaction, and Southern blot analysis indicated that the gus gene was transformed into soybean plants with 23.1% transformation efficiency. Transgenic plants could be obtained within 5–6 weeks, which was about 4 weeks less than that of a traditional single cotyledonary node method.
Population‐based study to determine mortality in spina bifida: New York State congenital malformations registry, 1983 to 2006
Authors: Kancherla Vijaya , Druschel Charlotte M. , Oakley Godfrey P.
Published: June 2014

Background: The lifetime risk of death among individuals with spina bifida is 10‐times higher compared with the general population. A population‐based analysis on cause‐specific mortality among individuals spina bifida is lacking. Methods: Using statewide, population‐based New York Congenital Malformations Registry, we examined all births between years 1983 and 2006, and identified 1988 births with spina bifida and 10,951 births with congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (CHPS). We linked registry records to birth and death files from vital records, and determined age‐ and cause‐specific mortality for isolated and multiple spina bifida, and compared the findings with the less fatal CHPS. Results: Mortality in spina bifida is significantly high compared with CHPS (16.9% vs. 0.96%, respectively). The probability of survival in spina bifida was lower compared with CHPS. A majority of the deaths in spina bifida occurred in infants within the first year of birth; however, an increased risk of death persisted in young adulthood for both isolated and multiple cases of spina bifida. The common causes of death in children with spina bifida were hydrocephalus, infections, cardiac anomalies, pneumonia, and pulmonary embolism; while infections, heart or kidney failure, injuries and neoplasms contributed to deaths in adults. Conclusion: We conclude that mortality in spina bifida is a large concern, and individuals living with the defect require improved clinical care for lethal medical complications. Primary prevention of spina bifida through mandatory folic acid fortification remains as the best strategy to reduce both disability and mortality associated with this defect across the world.

Published: June 2014

Structural birth defect (SBD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the newborn period. Although the etiology of SBD is diverse, a wide spectrum of SBD associated with ciliopathies points to the cilium as having a central role in the pathogenesis of SBDs. Ciliopathies are human diseases arising from disruption of cilia structure and/or function. They are associated with developmental anomalies in one or more organ systems and can involve defects in motile cilia, such as those in the airway epithelia or from defects in nonmotile (primary cilia) that have sensory and cell signaling function. Availability of low cost next generation sequencing has allowed for explosion of new knowledge in genetic etiology of ciliopathies. This has led to the appreciation that many genes are shared in common between otherwise clinically distinct ciliopathies. Further insights into the relevance of the cilium in SBD has come from recovery of pathogenic mutations in cilia‐related genes from many large‐scale mouse forward genetic screens with differing developmental phenotyping focus. Our mouse mutagenesis screen for congenital heart disease (CHD) using noninvasive fetal echocardiography has yielded a marked enrichment for pathogenic mutations in genes required for motile or primary cilia function. These novel mutant mouse models will be invaluable for modeling human ciliopathies and further interrogating the role of the cilium in the pathogenesis of SBD and CHD. Overall, these findings suggest a central role for the cilium in the pathogenesis of a wide spectrum of developmental anomalies associated with CHD and SBDs.

A rapid and sensitive resonance Rayleigh scattering spectra method for the determination of quinolones in human urine and pharmaceutical preparation
Authors: Qiao Man , Wang Yaqiong , Liu Shaopu , Liu Zhongfang , Yang Jidong , Zhu Jinghui , Hu Xiaoli
Published: June 2014

A new method based on resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) was proposed for the determination of quinolones (QNS) at the nanogram level. In pH 3.3–4.4 Britton–Robinson buffer medium, quinolones such as ciprofloxacin, pipemidic acid (PIP), lomefloxacin (LOM), norfloxacin (NOR) and sarafloxacin (SAR) were protonated and reacted with methyl orange (MO) to form an ion‐pair complex, which then further formed a six‐membered ring chelate with Pd(II). As a result, new RRS spectra appeared and the RRS intensities were enhanced greatly. RRS spectral characteristics of the MO–QNS–Pd(II) systems, the optimum conditions for the reaction, and the influencing factors were investigated. Under optimum conditions, the scattering intensity (∆I) increments were directly proportional to the concentration of QNS with in certain ranges. The method had high sensitivity, and the detection limits (3σ) ranged from 6.8 to 12.6 ng/mL. The proposed method had been successfully applied for the determination of QNS in pharmaceutical formulations and human urine samples. In addition, the mechanism of the reaction system was discussed based on IR, absorption and fluorescence spectral studies. The reasons for the enhancement of scattering spectra were discussed in terms of fluorescence‐scattering resonance energy transfer, hydrophobicity and molecular size.

Recent advances in the understanding of biological implications and modulation methodologies of monoclonal antibody N‐linked high mannose glycans
Authors: Shi Helen H. , Goudar Chetan T.
Published: June 2014

With the prevalence of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in the biopharmaceutical industry, the use of mammalian cell culture systems, particularly Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, has become the main method for the production of therapeutics. Despite their similarity to human cells, one major challenge of mammalian cell based biopharmaceutical production is controlling aberrant glycosylation, especially glycans with five to nine mannose residues—high mannose glycoforms. Glycosylation plays a critical role in determining the therapeutic profile of therapeutic glycoproteins; high mannose glycoforms in particular have been shown to have a significant impact on clinical efficacy and pharmacokinetics. Thus, producing glycoform profiles with consistent levels of high mannose is necessary to reduce batch‐to‐batch therapeutic variability and to meet regulatory standards. Studies have shown that high mannose glycoforms can be modulated through the genetic engineering of cell lines, addition of inhibitors to key enzymes in the glycosylation pathways, and varying cell culture conditions. Focusing on these three types of techniques, this review will examine and critically assess current methods for high mannose glycosylation control and future developments in this area. Biotechnol.

Cardiovascular risk in patients with small and medium abdominal aortic aneurysms, and no history of cardiovascular disease
Authors: Sohrabi S , Wheatcroft S , Barth J H , Bailey M A , Johnson A , Bridge K , Griffin K , Baxter P D , Scott D J A
Published: June 2014

Background

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main cause of death in people with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). There is little evidence that screening for AAA reduces all-cause or cardiovascular mortality. The aim of the study was to assess whether subjects with a small or medium AAA (3·0–5·4 cm), without previous history of clinical CVD, had raised levels of CVD biomarkers or increased total mortality.

Methods

This prospective study included subjects with a small or medium AAA and controls, all without a history of clinical CVD. CVD biomarkers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, hs-CRP; heart-type fatty acid-binding protein, H-FABP) were measured, and survival was recorded.

Results

Of a total of 815 people, 476 with an AAA and 339 controls, a cohort of 86 with small or medium AAA (3–5·4 cm) and 158 controls, all with no clinical history of CVD, were identified. The groups were matched for age and sex. The AAA group had higher median (i.q.r.) levels of hs-CRP (2·8 (1·2–6·0) versus 1·3 (0·5–3·5) mg/l; P < 0·001) and H-FABP (4·6 (3·5–6·0) versus 4·0 (3·3–5·1) µg/l; P = 0·011) than controls. Smoking was more common in the AAA group; however, hs-CRP and H-FABP levels were not related to smoking. Mean survival was lower in the AAA group: 6·3 (95 per cent confidence interval (c·i.) 5·6 to 6·9) years versus 8·0 (7·6 to 8·1) years in controls (P < 0·001). Adjusted mortality was higher in the AAA group (hazard ratio 3·41, 95 per cent c·i. 2·11 to 9·19; P < 0·001).

Conclusion

People with small or medium AAA and no clinical symptoms of CVD have higher levels of hs-CRP and H-FABP, and higher mortality compared with controls. They should continue to receive secondary prevention against CVD.
Nasal airway and septal variation in unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate
Authors: Starbuck John M. , Friel Michael T. , Ghoneima Ahmed , Flores Roberto L. , Tholpady Sunil , Kula Katherine
Published: June 2014

Cleft lip and palate (CLP) affects the dentoalveolar and nasolabial facial regions. Internal and external nasal dysmorphology may persist in individuals born with CLP despite surgical interventions. 7–18 year old individuals born with unilateral and bilateral CLP (n = 50) were retrospectively assessed using cone beam computed tomography. Anterior, middle, and posterior nasal airway volumes were measured on each facial side. Septal deviation was measured at the anterior and posterior nasal spine, and the midpoint between these two locations. Data were evaluated using principal components analysis (PCA), multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), and post‐hoc ANOVA tests. PCA results show partial separation in high dimensional space along PC1 (48.5% variance) based on age groups and partial separation along PC2 (29.8% variance) based on CLP type and septal deviation patterns. MANOVA results indicate that age (P = 0.007) and CLP type (P ≤ 0.001) significantly affect nasal airway volume and septal deviation. ANOVA results indicate that anterior nasal volume is significantly affected by age (P ≤ 0.001), whereas septal deviation patterns are significantly affected by CLP type (P ≤ 0.001). Age and CLP type affect nasal airway volume and septal deviation patterns. Nasal airway volumes tend to be reduced on the clefted sides of the face relative to non‐clefted sides of the face. Nasal airway volumes tend to strongly increase with age, whereas septal deviation values tend to increase only slightly with age. These results suggest that functional nasal breathing may be impaired in individuals born with the unilateral and bilateral CLP deformity. Clin.

Cardiotoxin III suppresses hepatocyte growth factor–stimulated migration and invasion of MDA‐MB‐231 cells
Authors: Tsai Pei‐Chien , Chu Chiao‐Lun , Chiu Chien‐Chih , Chang Long‐Sen , Lin Shinne‐Ren
Published: June 2014

The hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/c‐Met signalling pathway is deregulated in most cancers and associated with a poor prognosis in breast cancer. Cardiotoxin III (CTX III), a basic polypeptide isolated from Naja naja atra venom, has been shown to exhibit anticancer activity. In this study, we use HGF as an invasive inducer to investigate the effect of CTX III on MDA‐MB‐231 cells. When cells were treated with non‐toxic doses of CTX III, CTX III inhibited the HGF‐promoted cell migration and invasion. CTX III significantly suppressed the HGF‐induced c‐Met phosphorylation and downstream activation of phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase (PI3k)/Akt and extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2. Additionally, CTX III similar to wortmannin (a PI3K inhibitor) and U0126 (an upstream kinase regulating ERK1/2 inhibitor) attenuated cell migration and invasion induced by HGF. This effect was paralleled by a significant reduction in phosphorylation of IκBα kinase and IκBα and nuclear translocation of nuclear factor κB (NF‐κB) as well as a reduction of matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) activity. Furthermore, the c‐Met inhibitor PHA665752 inhibited HGF‐induced MMP‐9 expression, cell migration and invasion, as well as the activation of ERK1/2 and PI3K/Akt, suggesting that ERK1/2 and PI3K/Akt activation occurs downstream of c‐Met activation. Taken together, these findings suggest that CTX III inhibits the HGF‐induced invasion and migration of MDA‐MB‐231 cells via HGF/c‐Met‐dependent PI3K/Akt, ERK1/2 and NF‐κB signalling pathways, leading to the downregulation of MMP‐9 expression.

Objectives

We aimed at identifying predictors of renal impairment and its impact on long‐term outcome after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

Background

Renal impairment is common in mostly elderly, multimorbid patients undergoing TAVI. The risk of periprocedural renal function impairment and its association with outcome is incompletely understood.

Methods

In 458 consecutive patients (mean age, 80.6 ± 7.0 years, 52.2% women) who underwent routine TAVI procedures, we assessed estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at baseline, during 72‐hr postprocedure and at discharge. Over a median follow‐up of 0.96 years, we observed 142 deaths. Results: In multivariable‐adjusted models, predictors of renal function deterioration within 72 hr were baseline eGFR (β = 0.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.76/0.91; P < 0.0001), body mass index (β = −1.20, 95% CI = 1.77/−0.62; P < 0.0001), and major access site complications (β = −14.82, 95% CI = −26.52/−3.11; P = 0.013) including bleeding (β = −11.97, 95% CI = −21.05/−2.89; P = 0.0099). Strongest renal function predictor of 1‐year mortality in risk factor adjusted analyses was the change of eGFR within 72 hr (odds ratio, 0.97; 95% CI = 0.96/0.98; P < 0.0001). The addition of information on the change of eGFR increased the C‐statistic of the logistic EuroSCORE (P = 0.021).

Conclusions

In our routine TAVI sample, baseline eGFR, body mass index, and major access site complications mainly owing to bleeding were correlates of acute kidney injury after TAVI. Acute renal impairment was a risk factor for mortality and adverse cardiovascular events which provided risk information beyond the EuroSCORE. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Repeat coronary angiography with previously normal arteries: A futile exercise?
Authors: Rowe Rebecca , Parviz Yasir , Iqbal Javaid , Heppenstall James , Teare Dawn , Gunn Julian
Published: June 2014

Objectives

Up to 20% of coronary angiograms reveal normal arteries. How long they stay normal is poorly understood. This study investigated the fate of normal coronary arteries and determined the rate of development of coronary artery disease.

Methods

We interrogated the angiographic archive of the South Yorkshire Cardiothoracic Centre between 2004 and 2013 to identify patients with truly normal coronary arteries who underwent repeat coronary angiography more than 1 year later. Follow up angiograms were scored for the severity and extent of CAD (graded per segment as 0%, 1–50%, >50%). Risk factors for the development of coronary artery disease were documented. Univariate predictors of disease development were identified and entered into a logistic regression model to identify independent predictors.

Results

Out of over 25,000 angiographic procedures in the archives we found 6068 patients reported to have normal coronary arteries. Of these, 162 patients had also undergone subsequent repeat coronary angiography. Of these, 97 had truly normal (smooth) coronary arteries at baseline and had undergone repeat angiography >1 year later. At a median 51 months, 87 continued to have normal arteries, and all the remaining 10 had mild disease only (average 37% stenosis in an average 1.2 segments). No patients developed any significant (>50% stenosis) disease. Advanced age, time between angiograms, and smoking status were identified as independent predictors of development of CAD.

Conclusions

Truly normal coronary arteries do not progress to significant disease within a time frame of 4 years. Repeat coronary angiography within that period is probably not indicated. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Electrochemical Grignard Reagent Synthesis for Ionic‐Liquid‐Based Magnesium–Air Batteries
Authors: Luder Daniel , Ein‐Eli Yair
Published: June 2014

Metal–organic compounds are widely used in the production of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical agents. On large scales, the chemical production of Grignard reagents (GRs) with ether solvents is difficult. The electrochemical synthesis of GRs in ionic‐liquid‐based electrolytes is reported herein. The electrochemical synthesis and presence of the GR product are demonstrated by cyclic voltammetry and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and by comparing the measured passing charge to the final GR concentration. Additionally, the high‐boiling ether tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether is shown to be a suitable substitute for volatile tetrahydrofuran ether, which is currently used. A mechanism for the electrochemical synthesis of the GR is suggested and discussed, and the potential importance of the process for high‐energy‐density applications is demonstrated with a magnesium–air cell. Electropolishing of the Mg anode is also observed and discussed.

Published: June 2014

Two sets of o‐carborane derivatives incorporating fluorene and anthracene fragments as fluorophore groups have been successfully synthesized and characterized, and their photophysical properties studied. The first set, comprising fluorene‐containing carboranes 6–9, was prepared by catalyzed hydrosilylation reactions of ethynylfluorene with appropriate carboranylsilanes. The compound 1‐[(9,9‐dioctyl‐fluorene‐2‐yl)ethynyl]carborane (11) was synthesized by the reaction of 9,9‐dioctyl‐2‐ethynylfluorene and decaborane (B10H14). Furthermore, reactions of the lithium salt of 11 with 1 equivalent of 4‐(chloromethyl)styrene or 9‐(chloromethyl)anthracene yielded compounds 12 and 13. Members of the second set of derivatives, comprising anthracene‐containing carboranes, were synthesized by reactions of monolithium or dilithium salts of 1‐Me‐1,2‐C2B10H11, 1‐Ph‐1,2‐C2B10H11, and 1,2‐C2B10H12 with 1 or 2 equivalents of 9‐(chloromethyl)anthracene, respectively, to produce compounds 14–16. In addition, 2 equivalents of the monolithium salts of 1‐Me‐1,2‐C2B10H11 (Me‐o‐carborane) and 1‐Ph‐1,2‐C2B10H11 (Ph‐o‐carborane) were reacted with 9,10‐bis(chloromethyl)anthracene to produce compounds 17 and 18, respectively. Fluorene derivatives 6–9 exhibit moderate fluorescence quantum yields (32–44 %), whereas 11–13, in which the fluorophore is bonded to the Ccluster (Cc), show very low emission intensity (6 %) or complete fluorescence quenching. The anthracenyl derivatives containing the Me‐o‐carborane moiety exhibit notably high fluorescence emissions, with ϕF=82 and 94 %, whereas their Ph‐o‐carborane analogues are not fluorescent at all. For these compounds, we have observed a correlation between the CcCc bond length and the fluorescence intensity in CH2Cl2 solution, comparable to that observed for previously reported styrene‐containing carboranes. Thus, our hypothesis is that for systems of this type the fluorescence may be tuned and even predicted by changing the substituent on the adjacent Cc.

Published: June 2014

The photoionization and dissociative photoionization of 1,4‐di‐tert‐butyl‐1,4‐azaborinine by means of synchrotron radiation and threshold photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy is reported. The ionization energy of the compound was determined to be 7.89 eV. Several low‐lying electronically excited states in the cation were identified. The various pathways for dissociative photoionization were modeled by statistical theory, and appearance energies AE0K were obtained. The loss of isobutene in a retro‐hydroboration reaction is the dominant pathway, which proceeds with a reverse barrier. Pyrolysis of the parent compound in a chemical reactor leads to the generation of several yet unobserved boron compounds. The ionization energies of the C4H6BN isomers 1,2‐ and 1,4‐dihydro‐1,4‐azaborinine and the C3H6BN isomer 1,2‐dihydro‐1,3‐azaborole were determined from threshold photoelectron spectra.

Published: June 2014

Changes in the valence state of transition‐metal ions in oxides drastically modify the chemical and physical properties of the compounds. Intersite charge transfer (ISCT), which involves simultaneous changes in the valence states of two valence‐variable transition‐metal cations at different crystallographic sites, further expands opportunities to show multifunctional properties. To explore new ISCT materials, we focus on A‐site‐ordered perovskite‐structure oxides with the chemical formula AA′3B4O12, which contain different transition‐metal cations at the square‐planar A′ and octahedral B sites. We have obtained new A‐site‐ordered perovskites LaCu3Cr4O12 and YCu3Cr4O12 by synthesis under high‐pressure and high‐temperature conditions and found that they showed temperature‐induced ISCT between A′‐site Cu and B‐site Cr ions. The compounds are the first examples of those, in which Cr ions are involved in temperature‐induced ISCT. In contrast to the previously reported ISCT compounds, LaCu3Cr4O12 and YCu3Cr4O12 showed positive‐thermal‐expansion‐like volume changes at the ISCT transition.
