Experimental and Theoretical Study on the Interaction of P-Aminophenol Hydrochloride with H2O
Authors: Hou Bingbing , Peng Peng , Zhang Ping , Zhai Cuiping
Published: May 2018

UV-Vis absorption spectra, cyclic voltammetry and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra were applied to explore the hydrogen bond interactions of p-aminophenol hydrochloride (PAH) with H2O. The results indicated the hydrogen bonds were formed in PAH–H2O system. The anodic/cathodic peak potentials and UV-Vis absorption bands of PAH in H2O could be affected due to the interactions. The results of density functional theory, atoms in molecules theory and natural bond orbital analyses further confirmed the existence of hydrogen bonds between the phenolic hydroxyl, –NH3
+ protons and Cl− of PAH and H2O. Furthermore, the π-π stacking was suggested between PAH benzene rings from the 1H NMR spectra at higher concentrations.
Measuring the Impact of SDGs on International Law - A Nucleus of a Right to Peace?
Authors: Werther-Pietsch Ursula
Published: May 2018

The thesis of this article is to unpack potential impact of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations on international law in the field of peacebuilding, and a right to peace in particular. It is argued that the issues of fragility, human security and resilience as stipulated in the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 of the Agenda created a valid entry point for steering transition from war to peace in a normative way. In fostering a comprehensive ius post bellum for societal change, this makes crystal-clear that the principle of self-determination functions as a meta-goal of the international order. The 2015 review of UN peacekeeping operations and the UN Security Council’s resolution 2282/2016 regarding sustained peace sharpen this finding in contrast to new geopolitical trends. It can be summarized that peacebuilding and statebuilding strategies are serviced by insights of the new consensus preparing for a rare momentum to move forward a universal right to peace.

Fighting to Cooperate: Litigation, Collaboration, and Water Management in the Upper Deschutes River Basin, Oregon
Authors: Satein Hannah , Weber Edward
Published: May 2018

Water management systems in the western United States prioritize historical economic uses of water, but are being tasked with addressing growing populations, unmet ecosystem needs, and climatic changes. Collaborative governance scholars posit that collaborative processes generate solutions better suited to resolving wicked natural resource problems than traditional regulatory approaches. However, scholars dispute how collaboration and regulatory enforcement in the form of litigation interact: does litigation destroy collaborative efforts or does litigation facilitate collaboration? In the Upper Deschutes River Basin in central Oregon, stakeholders engaged two collaborative processes to lay the foundation for a new water management regime. However, a participant in these processes was concerned that they were not progressing and filed a lawsuit under the Endangered Species Act. This research finds that litigation, strategically applied under specific conditions, can facilitate collaboration.

Gift giving is psychologically and culturally complex. In any context, a gift can have multiple meanings. In the context of the doctor-patient relationship, the giving of gifts and decisions about whether to accept gifts raise complex ethical issues. In this essay, a number of pediatric oncologists discuss the ethical considerations that should guide physicians as they decide how to respond to an extravagant gift from a family.
Diagnostics as prevention — a rapid testing-based strategy of sex workers against sexual HIV exposure
Authors: Hahn Andreas , Hinz Rebecca , Meyer Thomas , Loderstädt Ulrike , Herchenröder Ottmar , Meyer Christian G. , Schwarz Norbert Georg , Frickmann Hagen
Published: May 2018

Introduction: German sex workers have illegally established a prevention strategy, which consists of testing potential sexual partners with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-specific rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) prior to engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse eventually performed in case of a negative test result. Based on a recently established modeling approach, the effectiveness of this strategy regarding the risk of HIV exposure was compared with protection provided by condom use.

Methods: Based on a literature search, the following assumptions were used for the calculations: an averaged 80% exposure risk reduction with a condom used during sexual intercourse, usage of a well-characterized 4th-generation HIV RDT, and a 10 day post-infection period without any measurable viral load in peripheral blood followed by a seroconversion period of about 3 weeks with 12.3% test sensitivity (antigen-specific) and only afterwards 97.3% (antibody-specific) test sensitivity.

Results: In most constellations, the HIV exposure risk in case of RDT-based prevention was lower than with condom use.

Conclusions: The RDT-based HIV exposure prevention as established by sex workers is effective in most situations. A notable weakness of the strategy is the RDTs' poor sensitivity in spite of a high transmission risk during the seroconversion stage.

Published: May 2018

Riset pengaruh konsentrasi asam monokhloro asetat (0,15; 0,30; dan 0,45 mol) dan jenis pelarut organik (metanol dan isopropanol) sebagai pengendap terhadap sifat‑sifat karboksimetil kitin dari cangkang rajungan (Portunus pelagicus) telah dilakukan. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa rendemen yang dihasilkan tergantung jenis bahan pengendap yang digunakan. Pengendap metanol menghasilkan rendemen makin kecil dengan makin tingginya konsentrasi asam monokloro asetat, sebaliknya dengan pengendap isopropanol semakin tinggi konsentrasi asam monokloro asetat yang digunakan, menunjukkan hasil yang lebih baik pada derajat substitusi, kelarutan dan kekentalan. Pengendap isopropanol menghasilkan rendemen, derajat substitusi, dan kelarutan karboksimetil kitin yang lebih baik dari pada metanol. Namun demikian, deraiat deasetilasi dan kekentalan karboksimetil kitin lebih baik jika menggunakan metanol daripada menggunakan isopropanol. Hasil karboksimetil kitin terbaik dihasilkan dari kombinasi perlakuan 0,30 mol asam monokhloro asetat dan pelarut pengendap metanol, yaitu menghasilkan rendemen sebesar 46,4%, derajat deasetilasi 51,4%, derajat substitusi 0,8, membutuhkan 26,2 ml air untuk melarutkan 1 g karboksimetil kitin, viskositas 131,2 cPs, kadar air 8,1% dan kadar abu 1,9%.
RGO/CNF/PANI AS AN EFFECTIVE ADSORBENT FOR THE ADSORPTION OF URANIUM FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION
Authors: Dat Nguyen Quang
Published: May 2018

In this paper, we present a recent study in the adsorption of uranium from an aquatic environment by reduced graphene oxide - Cu0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 ferrite – polyaniline (RGO/CNF/PANI) composite. Uranium concentration was carried out by batch techniques. The effect of pH, contact time, concentration of equilibrium state and reusability on uranium adsorption capacity have been studied. The adsorption process was accomplished within 240 min and could be well described by the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption isotherm agrees well with the Langmuir model, having a maximum adsorption capacity of 2000 mg/g, at pH = 5 and 25 oC. The RGO/CNF/PANI materials could be a promising absorbent for removing U (VI) in aqueous solution because of their high adsorption capacity and convenient magnetic separation.
X-RAY PHOTOELECTRON SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY ON HIGH-ELECTRON-MOBILITY GALLIUM AND HYDROGEN CO-DOPED ZINC OXIDE THIN FILMS
Authors: Tuan Pham Anh Thanh
Published: May 2018

In this study, gallium and hydrogen co-doped ZnO (HGZO) thin films were investigated. The films were deposited by sputtering from Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) ceramic target in hydrogen and argon plasma. The as-deposited HGZO films possess enhanced electron mobility of 48.6 cm2/Vs as compared to that of 39.4 cm2/Vs of GZO films, sputtered from the same target. Because of insignificant variation in crystallinity, this improvement is attributed to roles of hydrogen in crystalline lattice structure of the films. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is employed as an essential technique for quantitative analyses and chemical binding states of films constituent elements. The roles of hydrogen are clarified through the binding states of Zn 2p, O 1s and Ga 3d. Obtained results suggest that the films are deposited more effectively in hydrogen plasma. Some point defects such as oxygen vacancies (VO), dangling bonds can be passivated in form of H+VOHO and O–H bonds. As a result, the reduction of scattering centers is indicated as a reason for the mobility improvement of the HGZO films.

CHITOSAN-TEMPLATED LIGHTWEIGHT SPINEL CoAl2O4 NANOFIBRIL AEROGELS
Authors: Lieu Trang Chau The
Published: May 2018

We present lightweight macro-mesoporous spinel CoAl2O4 nanostructured aerogels derived from water-soluble aluminum-chitosan complexes. Chitosan nanofibrils interact with aluminum ions to swell into hydrogels. The aluminum-induced swelling is extended to dissolve the hydrogels in water to form a homogeneous aluminum-chitosan aqueous solution. The addition of cobalt ions in the aluminum-chitosan liquids which are solidified by lyophilization to generate cotton-like aerogel composites. Uniform incorporation of cobalt-aluminum hydroxide ions onto chitosan leads nanofibrils to serve as a hierarchical template to support mixed metal hydroxides in the aerogel composites. We investigated the thermal removal of chitosan template in the composites to obtain spinel CoAl2O4 aerogels that truly replicate spider web-like fibrillar networks of chitosan template. Enlarged porosity, high crystallinity, and lightweight make the CoAl2O4 aerogels useful as a colorful nano-pigment for magnetic ceramics.
GRAPHENE QUANTUM DOTS AS A REDUCING REAGENT AND STABILIZER FOR GREEN SYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES: TOWARDS A HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND GLUCOSE SENSOR
Authors: Hoang Tran Vinh
Published: May 2018

In this work, we have developed a simple method for preparation of silver nanoparticles/graphene quantum dots hybrid (AgNPs/GQDs) using graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as reducing reagent and stabilizer. The synthesized GQDs and AgNPs/GQDs hybrid have been characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), photoluminescence (PL), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results indicated that mono-dispersed AgNPs were obtained with particles size around 30 nm. Based on the etching of silver nanoparticles by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), we have constructed a colorimetric sensor for H2O2 and glucose sensors basing on the use of AgNPs/GQDs hybrid as capture probe and signal probe. The fabricated sensors performed excellent sensitivity and selectivity, high reproducibility for H2O2 and glucose detection with a low detection limit of 100 nM and 0.1 mM for hydrogen peroxide and glucose, respectively.
PREPARATION OF MAGNETIC HYDROGEL BY IN-SITU COPRECIPITATION PROCESS
Authors: Nguyen Ngoc Uyen
Published: May 2018

This study describes a preparation of magnetite nanoparticle by co-precipitation of Fe(II) and Fe(III) in alginate hydrogel matrix. This simple process is sufficient for producing a superparamagnetic, well dispersible magnetite nanoparticle in polymer hydrogel matrix. Two approaches for iron ions loadings are induced. The first approach includes two steps, the hydrogel beads are formed before the iron ions are being diffused into the hydrogel matrix. The second approach is the simultaneous forming of hydrogel containing iron ions. The ions loaded hydrogel is then coprecipitated in the presence of ammonium hydroxide to afford iron oxide magnetite nanoparticles in alginate hydrogel matrix. The composition and characteristics of the hydrogel containing magnetite nanoparticle were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the particles size of magnetic nanoparticles prepared by in-situ coprecipitation method is around ~ 6 nm and smaller than that produced by normal coprecipitation method. The magnetic hydrogel exhibits superparamagnetic properties with the saturation magnetization of about 25 emu/g, the ratio of Mr/Ms about 0.8 ×10-3. Possessing the biocompatibility as well as superparamagnetism, the magnetite hydrogel is a promising materials for environmental and biomedical applications.

HS2 railway, UK – route development to hybrid bill: a collaborative approach
Authors: Blight I. C.
Published: May 2018

In January 2012 the UK government announced that powers would be sought for a London-to-West Midlands high-speed rail line based on a refined version of a 220 km route that was consulted upon in 2011. At the same time, High Speed Two (HS2) Ltd, the agency responsible for implementing the project, appointed a development partner for the London-to-West Midlands phase (phase 1) to assist HS2 and to manage and supervise the HS2 consultants. Later, 16 professional service companies were appointed to undertake the design, engineering, environmental and land referencing work necessary for the hybrid bill. Together, this joint team prepared the High Speed Rail (London–West Midlands) Bill, including an environmental statement, and deposited it into parliament in November 2013, only 22 months after route announcement. This paper describes the collaborative working practices that were employed to achieve this successful outcome.
Struggling to Fit in. The Dutch in a Transnational Army, 1936–1939

Struggling to Fit In. The Dutch in a Transnational Army, 1936-1939

The Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) possessed a transnational resonance that echoed far beyond the borders of the country in which it was fought. It drew thousands of foreign fighters to Spain where, as many believed, the future of Europe would be decided. Most of them fought on the side of the embattled Republican government against an uprising supported by international Fascism. Given the foreign fighters’ similar socio-economic backgrounds and shared anti-Fascist sentiment, historians have suggested that the «International Brigades», formed out of these foreign fighters, constitute a true transnational army. This article suggests, however, that many of these foreign fighters had real trouble forging a transnational connection with their fellow fighters. Focusing on Dutch Interbrigadiers, it further highlights how the specificities of Dutch political culture and the legal regime created in the Netherlands combined to create a unique set of circumstances that impeded Dutch foreign fighters’ abilities to effectively work together with their German colleagues in Spain and their post-Spanish Civil War efforts to resist the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. This article suggests, therefore, that the International Brigades do not possess a single, distinctive and collectively transnational identity. Rather, they are made up of different identity layers that can, but need not, be mutually exclusive, and are linked to elements of different national and/or military cultures.

Collaboration and Resistance in Wartime Poland (1939-1945) - A Case for Differentiated Occupation Studies

This article aims to diffenenciate the often simplistic depiction of war and occupation in Europe between 1939 and 1945 as a fight of good against evil. Such a description can be found not only in popular culture, but also, though less blatantly, in historical literature. Without questioning the overall responsibility of the Axis powers for the horrendous crimes committed during the war, this article argues for a more nuanced approach that takes into account the often complex nature of interaction between the occupiers and the occupied. Instead of invoking moral judgment, the authors aim to prioritize the historical analysis of the reality of Poland's occupation by the Nazis, recognizing that the parties involved had their own agency and often conflicting agendas. The authors apply this approach to two major phenomena: collaboration with, and resistance against the occupying forces. It thereby becomes clear that violence was exchanged not only between the occupants and the occupied, but also between different political and ethnic groups of the Polish society.
Saber hablar: construcción del capital militante en movimientos populares en Argentina
Authors: Palumbo María Mercedes
Published: May 2018

El presente artículo analiza la socialización de habilidades militantes en movimientos populares emplazados en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (AMBA), Argentina. Para ello, se propone un abordaje teórico acerca de las nociones de capital militante y socialización política. Interesa detenerse en la categoría nativa saber hablar en tanto habilidad integrante del capital militante que es especialmente valorada en la construcción de trayectorias de militancia. Adicionalmente saber hablar requiere una aproximación basada en una perspectiva de género dado que la apropiación de esta habilidad representa un mayor desafío subjetivo para las mujeres militantes planteado en términos de la superación de una imposibilidad de hablar. Las reflexiones desarrolladas aportan horizontes de problematización y discusión sobre el devenir de la política cotidiana en movimientos populares, dado que la socialización de habilidades como saber hablar contribuye a la subjetivación política tanto como expresa la cristalización de una división social del trabajo contestatario.

The perspective of young people as co-researchers has recently increased as a participatory framework of study in several fields of inquiry. The focus has mostly been on empowering the youth instead of methodological perspective which is the focus in this arts-based pedagogical study on youth documentary theatre as an action research. The objective of the text is to describe how the integrated practices of research and documentary theatre support youth as co-researchers.The article is based on a youth documentary theatre implemented in 2016 as a case example. Seven 17–28-year-old youngsters were invited to make theatre as co-researchers and as informants of their own life course, especially in-between the stages of schooling. The research material consists of multiple data, for example, research diary of the director, interviews, the verbatim theatre piece and the documented five live performances including audience feedback.Results show that documentary theatre can function as a research team, following the collective praxis method in which the youth co-research is supported by director’s choices implementing equal partnerships. Director’s role is a facilitator giving freedom and space to the youth’s decisions on the narrative and play. This is the way for more robust insider knowledge as well.How cultural policies and research are taking into account youth agency? Dignifiying youth is offered as a conclusion. In institutions like theatre, inclusive youth pedagogies and forms of directing are suggested, taking youth as co-artists together with professional adults. This applies to youth research as well.

Loop assembly protocol v1.0 v1
Authors: Pollak Bernardo
Published: May 2018

This protocol is used for performing Type IIS assembly by either BsaI or SapI-mediated restriction/ligation using the Loop assembly system. Loop assembly comprises8receiver plasmids in odd and even levels (4 per level), which containdirectional overhangs for higher level assembly. Odd and even level receiver plasmids are used in a recursive schemafor assembly initerative 'loops'. Any assembly (except for L0 part composition into a L1 transcriptional unit) requires the usage of 4 donorplasmids (each ina specific position) and one receiver plasmid. BsaI is used for assembly into odd levels using kanamycin selection, and SapI is used in even levels using spectynomycin selection.Loop odd receivers use theCommon Syntax standard for L0 part assembly into TUs (Patron,et al.2015 [10.1111/nph.13532]). Then, 4 L1 plasmids (positions 1-4) are assembled into aneven receiver plasmid to provide a L2 assembly (4 TUs). For higher level assemblies the same assembly structure is followed, 4 L2 plasmids (positions 1-4)with anodd receiver to yield a L3 assembly (16 TUs). TheLoop type IIS assembly protocol is based on: “Patron, NJ (2016) DNA Assembly for Plant Biology. Current Protocols in Plant Biology 1:1-13 [doi: 10.1002/cppb.20038]”, but with slight modifications for DNA concentrations: Thisprotocol uses a target amount of each donor DNA of 15 fmol and 7.5 fmol forreceiver plasmid DNA in a 10 µL reaction. In order to performaccurate dispensing, the plasmid DNA is diluted to their correspondingconcentration of 15 fmol/µL for donor parts and of 7.5 fmol/µL for the receiver plasmid, and then 1 µL of each plasmid is added to the DNA mix.Theplasmid part target concentration(in ng/uL) equals to eachdonor plasmid length / 100, and of the receiver plasmid length / 200.

Authors: Yan Li
Published: May 2018

Focusing on China’s languages’ status planning for “The Belt and Road Initiative”, this paper constructs a framework for China’s languages’ status planning goals and studies its application of Chinese and minority languages in the social context of “The Belt and Road Initiative” raised by China in 2013. The paper points out the focuses of Chinese and minority languages’ status planning in the form of both status policy planning and status cultivation planning and makes a detailed analysis from the ecology of languages paradigm. It is concluded that China’s languages’ status planning for “The Belt and Road Initiative” should focus on the international language spread of Chinese as second language, the inheritance of Chinese as heritage language, and language maintenance and language revival of the minorities, by providing different platforms for the languages to function complementarily at different levels. The paper also looks forward the application of ecology-of-language paradigm in China’s language planning would trend a sustainable road for language ecological crisis and human sustainable development in the construction of the Belt and Road for building a community with a shared future for mankind.
The Differentiation and Analysis of Pivotal Construction and Similar Syntactic Constructions
Authors: Hu Zhiyan
Published: May 2018

Since the appearance of “pivotal construction”, scholars have always questioned its existence and wanted to classify it into the category of other syntactic constructions. Therefore, it is necessary to make a more detailed distinction between the pivotal construction and the other similar syntactic constructions. Generally, the pivotal construction can be abbreviated as N1 + V1 + N2 + V2, which is the same as in other syntactic constructions or sentence patterns: subject-predicate structure as the object construction, serial predicate construction, fused serial predicate and pivotal construction. In this paper, syntax combined with semantics, these four simple sentence patterns (syntactic constructions) are taken as examples and analyzed in detail. Finally, we draw a conclusion that N1, V1, N2, V2 have complex relationship on the syntactic structure. Meanwhile, through the semantic analysis and classification of V1, we make a clear distinction of V1 in the four types of simple sentence patterns and the relationship between V1 and V2 is clearly differentiated.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of policy on character education "kasundaan" based on regulation Sumedang Regent about "Sumedang Puseur Budaya Sunda " (SPBS)." The method used is a survey, which is completed with interview and FGD. The results from the study found that: (1) SPBS was only instructed in the "SKPD" environment only in the form of Thursday using "Kasumedangan" dress and Sundanese language, (2) no education design of "kasundaan" characters in elementary school, (3) majority of students elementary schools already have the expected behavior in the context of "kasundaan" values based on Bupati's regulation on SPBS. However, a few other minorities, in fact, show behavior that is not as expected, and this become a potential learner to lead to negative behavior. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of character education "kasundaan" in elementary school in Sumedang regency conducted without base to regent regulation about SPBS, but refers to school curriculum only. There is no integration between the regent's regulation on SPBS and the school curriculum, so the values of "kasundaan" characters in the regent's regulation on SPBS have not yet been implemented in a structured way at the elementary school level.

Trata-se de um estudo transversal, recorte de um estudo de base populacional sobre condições de vida e saúde de idosos residentes nas zonas urbana e rural do município de Estação (RS). Por meio de inquérito domiciliar, os 313 idosos entrevistados autorreferiram informações pessoais e familiares, condições de saúde e hábitos de vida e avaliação funcional. As informações coletadas foram codificadas e armazenadas em um banco de dados. Os dados foram analisados e as medicações utilizadas e sua classificação quanto aos Critérios de Beers, versão 2012 foram identificadas. O estudo evidenciou uma prevalência elevada quanto ao uso de medicamentos potencialmente inapropriados em idosos. As classes terapêuticas de medicamentos mais utilizadas foram drogas antiarrítmicas, benzodiazepínicos e anti-inflamatórios não esteroidais. Identificou-se associação positiva entre o uso de medicamentos potencialmente inapropriados e dor, quedas, atividade física, diabetes, problemas no sono, nervosismo, problemas cardíacos, depressão e atividades básicas da vida diária. Tal evidência reforça a necessidade de capacitação e sensibilização dos profissionais de saúde para a avaliação da terapia medicamentosa.

Este estudo objetivou descrever uma reflexão acadêmica acerca da enfermagem no cuidado da criança autista no ambiente escolar. Estudo descritivo, do tipo relato de experiência, baseado em uma vivência de estágio acadêmico, de agosto a dezembro de 2016. Os resultados foram apresentados de forma descritiva em duas categorias temáticas: o primeiro contato e o acompanhamento com a criança autista; e dificuldades encontradas no cuidado prestado à criança autista em ambiente escolar. A experiência vivenciada superou as expectativas pré-estabelecidas para um estágio, tendo em vista que os maiores benefícios desta experiência foram a oportunidade gratificante de zelar diariamente pela saúde biopsicossocial de uma criança autista, o desenvolvimento de um valoroso elo de empatia com a criança, além da relação de troca de conhecimentos e relações interpessoais com os demais alunos e profissionais da unidade escolar.

O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar fatores de rotatividade e fidelização de profissionais de enfermagem. Estudo descritivo e quantitativo, envolvendo 102 profissionais de enfermagem desligados de serviços de saúde entre 2013 e 2014. Foram coletados dados por meio de um formulário eletrônico e, a partir da mineração de dados, descobertos padrões, posteriormente avaliados por cinco especialistas. Foram identificados como fatores de rotatividade e fidelização de profissionais de enfermagem: comunicação entre funcionários e chefia; repasse de assuntos importantes e mudanças na empresa; tratamento entre chefia e subordinado; oportunidade de influenciar a tomada de decisão; reconhecimento profissional, aliado ao crescimento na organização e promoções aos profissionais mais qualificados; salário adequado; carga de trabalho; e ambiente saudável. Os fatores identificados podem refletir em condições desfavoráveis ao trabalho dos profissionais de enfermagem, contribuindo para a rotatividade, se adequados e trabalhados pelos gestores, colaboram para melhores resultados na instituição e para a satisfação e fidelização dos profissionais.

Aims

Repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) decreases the incidence of rupture and death. In cancer patients, sarcopenia has been associated with increased surgical complications and mortality. The impact of sarcopenia on survival after AAA repair has yet to be described.

Methods and Results

Patient demographic, laboratory, body composition measurements and survival data were obtained from patients undergoing AAA repair at the Indiana University medical campus over a 5‐year period. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors associated with overall survival. Overall, 58.2% presented with sarcopenia. Sarcopenic patients were older (71.8±8.3 versus 66.8±8.1 years; p<0.001), had lower body mass index (BMI) (26.3±5.2 versus 31.5±5.9 kg/m2; p<0.001), higher rates of myosteatosis (84.4% versus 52.%; p<0.001), greater AAA diameter (60.6±14.0 versus 57.8±11.7 mm; p=0.016), higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) (32.3% versus 25.1% ≥6; p=0.034), and increased rates of rupture (8.2% versus 3.8%; p=0.047). Sarcopenic and nonsarcopenic patients had no difference in 30‐day morbidity (8.5% versus 8.5%; p=0.991) or mortality (3.7% versus 0.9%; p=0.07). Univariate analysis demonstrated age, sarcopenia, myosteatosis, CCI, and BMI to be associated with long‐term survival. There was no correlation between BMI and sarcopenia. Both sarcopenia and myosteatosis resulted in decreased one‐, three‐, and five‐year survivals compared to their counterparts. On multivariate analysis sarcopenia is independently associated with survival, conferring a 1.6‐fold increase in death (p=0.04). The combination of sarcopenia plus myosteatosis doubled the risk of death compared to sarcopenia alone.

Conclusions

This is the first study to demonstrate that over half of all patients undergoing AAA repair are sarcopenic, a condition associated with increased mortality. Sarcopenia with myosteatosis is associated with double the mortality of sarcopenia alone. CT scan, but not BMI, accurately identifies sarcopenia and myosteatosis. Defining the mechanisms through which sarcopenia contributes to late death after AAA repair is critical to developing novel interventions that may improve survival in this high risk population.
