Evidence suggests epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) as one potential source of fibroblasts in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. To assess the contribution of alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) EMT to fibroblast accumulation in vivo following lung injury and the influence of extracellular matrix on AEC phenotype in vitro, Nkx2.1‐Cre;mT/mG mice were generated in which AECs permanently express green fluorescent protein (GFP). On days 17–21 following intratracheal bleomycin administration, ∼4% of GFP‐positive epithelial‐derived cells expressed vimentin or α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA). Primary AECs from Nkx2.1‐Cre;mT/mG mice cultured on laminin‐5 or fibronectin maintained an epithelial phenotype. In contrast, on type I collagen, cells of epithelial origin displayed nuclear localization of Smad3, acquired spindle‐shaped morphology, expressed α‐SMA and phospho‐Smad3, consistent with activation of the transforming growth factor‐β (TGFβ) signalling pathway and EMT. α‐SMA induction and Smad3 nuclear localization were blocked by the TGFβ type I receptor (TβRI, otherwise known as Alk5) inhibitor SB431542, while AEC derived from Nkx2.1‐Cre;Alk5$^{\rm{flox/KO}}$ mice did not undergo EMT on collagen, consistent with a requirement for signalling via Alk5 in collagen‐induced EMT. Inability of a pan‐specific TGFβ neutralizing antibody to inhibit effects of collagen together with absence of active TGFβ in culture supernatants is consistent with TGFβ ligand‐independent activation of Smad signalling. These results support the notion that AECs can acquire a mesenchymal phenotype following injury in vivo and implicate type I collagen as a key regulator of EMT in AECs through signalling via Alk5, likely in a TGFβ ligand‐independent manner.

Canalicular ABC transporters and liver disease
Authors: Nicolaou Michael , Andress Edward J , Zolnerciks Joseph K , Dixon Peter H , Williamson Catherine , Linton Kenneth J
Published: October 2011

Bile is a complex mixture that includes bile salts, the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylcholine (PC), cholesterol and various endobiotic and xenobiotic toxins, each of which is secreted across the canalicular membrane of the hepatocyte by different ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) transporters. The bile salts are essential for the emulsification of dietary fat and lipophilic vitamins. They are synthesized from cholesterol in the hepatocyte and their secretion by the bile salt export pump (BSEP or ABCB11) drives bile flow and is the starting point for the enterohepatic cycle. The detergent nature of bile salts that is key to their physiological role also means that they are inherently cytotoxic, and failure to secrete bile (intraheptic cholestasis) can precipitate severe liver disease and mortality. Such progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) comes in three types of autosomal recessive disease. PFIC2 is caused by mutation to ABCB11. PFIC3 is caused by mutation of a closely related ABC transporter, ABCB4, which flops PC into the outerleaflet of the canalicular membrane. The flopped PC is extracted by the bile salts in the canaliculus to form a mixed micelle that reduces bile salt detergent activity. The third protein that is essential for bile flow from the hepatocyte is a member of a different class of transporter protein, a P‐type ATPase, ATP8B1. Mutation of ATP8B1 causes PFIC1, but ATP8B1 does not transport a component of bile into the canaliculus. Data from different laboratories, published this year, suggests two different roles for ATP8B1 in the hepatocyte: a lipid flippase, that counterbalances the deleterious effects of ABCB4 on barrier function of the canalicular membrane; and an anchor of the actin cytoskeleton necessary to form the microvilli of the brush border. These latest discoveries are described, along with a spectrum of cholestatic disorders whose aetiologies lie in these and other transporters of the canalicular membrane.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for improving the lives of cancer patients: a preliminary study
Authors: Feros Danielle L. , Lane Lisbeth , Ciarrochi Joseph , Blackledge John T.
Published: October 2011

Background

This preliminary study examined the effectiveness of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention at improving the quality of life among cancer patients. It was hypothesised that over the course of the intervention, patients would report increased psychological flexibility through acceptance of unpleasant thoughts and feelings, and that increased psychological flexibility would lead to improvements in distress, mood, and quality of life.

Method

Forty‐five cancer patients participated in an ACT intervention. Outcome measures included self‐reported distress, mood disturbance, psychological flexibility, and quality of life. Data were collected at pre, mid, and post‐intervention and at 3‐month follow‐up.

Results

The data showed significant improvements on outcome measures from pre to post and from pre to follow‐up. Regression analyses showed that changes in psychological flexibility predicted changes in quality of life, distress, and mood.

Conclusions

ACT effect sizes were comparable to those obtained in studies examining the effectiveness of other psychological therapies, such as cognitive behaviour therapy, at improving quality of life among individuals with cancer. This supports further research into ACT as an effective intervention for cancer patients. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Laboratory survival of Drosophila suzukii under simulated winter conditions of the Pacific Northwest and seasonal field trapping in five primary regions of small and stone fruit production in the United States
Authors: Dalton Daniel T , Walton Vaughn M , Shearer Peter W , Walsh Douglas B , Caprile Janet , Isaacs Rufus
Published: October 2011

BACKGROUND: Drosophila suzukii was first found in Oregon in August 2009. The threat of this pest to regional small and stone fruit production industries led to investigations on its overwintering capabilities in fruit‐growing regions in the Pacific Northwest. Knowledge of its cold tolerance will help in the development of computer models to forecast seasonal population growth and decline.

RESULTS: Of 1500 adults or pupae, 22 (1.4%) individuals survived the 84 day experimental chilling period. Most (86%) of the survivors were subjected to 10 °C temperature treatments. Survival decreased significantly at lower temperature treatments. Freezing temporarily increased the mortality rate but did not significantly affect overall mortality over the trial period. Flies that emerged from pupae are estimated to survive for up to 103–105 days at 10 °C and for shorter periods at lower temperatures. Field trapping in five fruit production areas has demonstrated overwintering survival in California and Oregon, but lower survival is predicted in Eastern Washington and Michigan.

CONCLUSION: The experiments reported here indicate that long‐term survival of D. suzukii is unlikely at temperatures below 10 °C. Field data from five climatic regions indicated extended low initial D. suzukii field presence in 2010 in all regions except California, where field presence was recorded earlier.

Baseline toxicity and stage specificity of recently developed reduced‐risk insecticides chlorantraniliprole and spinetoram to obliquebanded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
Authors: Sial Ashfaq A , Brunner Jay F
Published: October 2011

BACKGROUND: Studies were designed to assess baseline toxicity of the two recently developed reduced‐risk insecticides chlorantraniliprole and spinetoram to obliquebanded leafroller (OBLR), Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris), and to determine stage‐specific effects of these products on OBLR, so that these new chemicals could be judiciously incorporated into IPM programs by targeting only the most susceptible stages of OBLR.

RESULTS: Both chlorantraniliprole and spinetoram were highly effective against neonate OBLR larvae at much lower doses than conventional standard azinphosmethyl. Most of the mortality caused by spinetoram occurred during the 4 day exposure period, while significant delayed mortality was observed as a result of chlorantraniliprole treatment during the 7 day recovery period, indicating that chlorantraniliprole is a slower‐acting compound compared with spinetoram. Unlike broad‐spectrum predecessors, the toxicity of chlorantraniliprole significantly increased with larval age. Similarly, the toxicity of spinetoram increased as larvae grew from neonates to third instars.

CONCLUSION: Chlorantraniliprole and spinetoram are highly effective against OBLR larvae, regardless of larval age. Incorporation of these reduced‐risk chemistries into IPM programs for OBLR would lead to effective management of this pest in tree fruit systems. Copyright © 2011 Society of Chemical Industry
Bayesian Metamodeling for Computer Experiments Using the Gaussian Kriging Models
Authors: Deng Haisong , Shao Wenze , Ma Yizhong , Wei Zhuihui
Published: October 2011

In the past two decades, more and more quality and reliability activities have been moving into the design of product and process. The design and analysis of computer experiments, as a new frontier of the design of experiments, has become increasingly popular among modern companies for optimizing product and process conditions and producing high‐quality yet low‐cost products and processes. This article mainly focuses on the issue of constructing cheap metamodels as alternatives to the expensive computer simulators and proposes a new metamodeling method on the basis of the Gaussian stochastic process model or Gaussian Kriging. Rather than a constant mean as in ordinary Kriging or a fixed mean function as in universal Kriging, the new method captures the overall trend of the performance characteristics of products and processes through a more accurate mean, by efficiently incorporating a scheme of sparseness prior–based Bayesian inference into Kriging. Meanwhile, the mean model is able to adaptively exclude the unimportant effects that deteriorate the prediction performance. The results of an experiment on empirical applications demonstrate that, compared with several benchmark methods in the literature, the proposed Bayesian method is not only much more effective in approximation but also very efficient in implementation, hence more appropriate than the widely used ordinary Kriging to empirical applications in the real world.

Robotic vs. laparoscopic Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass in morbidly obese patients: systematic review and pooled analysis
Authors: Markar S. R. , Karthikesalingam A. P. , Venkat‐Ramen V. , Kinross J. , Ziprin P.
Published: October 2011

Background

The aim of this study was to provide pooled analysis of individually small trials comparing robotic Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RRYGB) with standard laparoscopic RYGB (LRYGB).

Methods

A systematic literature search of Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library databases was performed. Primary outcome measures were the incidence of anastomotic leak and stricture. Secondary outcome measures were post‐operative complications, operative time and length of hospital stay.

Results

Seven relevant studies of 1686 patients were included in this analysis. There was a significantly reduced incidence of anastomotic stricture in the robotic group (POR = 0.43; 95% CI = 0.19 to 0.98; p = 0.04). There was no significant difference between robotic and laparoscopic groups for anastomotic leak, post‐operative complications, operative time and length of hospital stay.

Conclusion

The incidence of anastomotic stricture was reduced with RRYGB compared with LRYGB over a minimum follow‐up period of 6 months, thus demonstrating the potential benefit of RRYGB. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Robotic arthroscopic surgery: a new challenge in arthroscopic surgery Part‐I: Robotic shoulder arthroscopy; a cadaveric feasibility study
Authors: Bozkurt Murat , Apaydin Nihal , Işik Çetin , Bilgetekin Yenel Gurkan , Acar Halil Ibrahim , Elhan Alaittin
Published: October 2011

Background

Arthroscopy of the shoulder is a well‐established diagnostic procedure which has widespread application. Advances in technology and the search for more minimal invasive surgery will always offer new techniques in any surgical field. Robotic technology is such an advance, offering technical advantages over standard laparoscopic approaches. The aim of the present study is to test whether robotic surgery can be used while performing shoulder arthroscopy or not.

Methods

Robotic shoulder arthroscopy was tried on two shoulder joints of a male fresh‐frozen human cadaver. The arthroscopic control of the biceps tendon, glenoid labrum, rotator cuff muscles, rotator interval, glenohumeral ligament, and the coracoid process were evaluated in beach chair and lateral decubitus positions.

Results

The arthroscopic control of the shoulder joint was possible for both beach chair and lateral decubitus positions.

Conclusions

Robotic shoulder arthroscopy seems feasible in a cadaveric model but has some significant limitations at this time. A clinical application could be performed as diagnostic arthroscopy and as simple arthroscopic surgery until more specific instrumentation is developed. It may also enable the surgeon to perform more complex and precise tasks in restricted spaces. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Published: October 2011

This paper has been written as a part of the research project that is working towards the implementation of dynamic behavioral attestation for mobile platforms. The motivation behind this paper was to analyze the existing remote attestation techniques in order to figure out their strengths and weaknesses. We have analyzed Integrity Measurement Architecture, Policy‐reduced Integrity Measurement Architecture, Property‐based Attestation, Remote Attestation on Program Execution, Semantic Remote Attestation, Trustable Remote Verification of Web Services, and Model‐based Behavior Attestation. Each of the existing remote attestation techniques was found to be effective in some situations but was found to be infeasible in others. Therefore, a new remote attestation technique is needed, which is platform independent and flexible enough to meet the challenges of today's scalable computing environments.

Long‐Term Results of Surgery for Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors at a Tertiary Referral Center
Authors: Norlén Olov , Stålberg Peter , Öberg Kjell , Eriksson John , Hedberg Jakob , Hessman Ola , Janson Eva Tiensuu , Hellman Per , Åkerström Göran
Published: October 2011

Background

Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI‐NETs) are uncommon, with an annual incidence of about 1 per 100,000 individuals. The primary tumor (PT) is generally small, but nevertheless the majority of patients have mesenteric lymph node metastases and liver metastases at diagnosis. Our aim was to identify prognostic factors for survival and to evaluate outcome after surgery in SI‐NET patients.

Material and Methods

We included 603 consecutive patients (325 men; age at diagnosis 63 ± 11 years [mean ± SD]) with histopathologically verified SI‐NET, who were diagnosed between 1985 and 2010. Hospital charts were reviewed and were scrutinized for carcinoid heart disease (CHD), flush and/or diarrhea, proliferation by Ki‐67 index, mesenteric lymph node metastases (m.lgllm), distant abdominal lymph node metastases (da.lgllm), liver tumor load (LTL), extra‐abdominal metastases (EAM), locoregional resective surgery, as well as debulking of LTL, and adverse events after surgery.

Results

Median overall survival (OS) was 8.4 years; 5‐year OS was 67%, and 5‐year relative survival was 74%. Independent prognostic factors by univariate and multivariate analysis were age at diagnosis, CHD, m.lgllm, da.lgllm, LTL, EAM, peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), and proliferation. Locoregional resective surgery was associated with increased survival on crude and multivariate analysis. The 30‐day mortality in our institution after initial locoregional resective surgery was 0.5% (1/205).

Conclusions

For the first time, m.lgllm and da.lgllm, LTL, PC, and EAM are demonstrated to be independent prognostic factors by multivariate analysis. Locoregional removal of the PT/m.lgllm. was a positive prognostic factor by crude and adjusted analysis and may influence survival.
Preoperative MRCP to detect choledocholithiasis in acute calculous cholecystitis
Authors: Wong Hon‐Phin , Chiu Yu‐Lun , Shiu Bei‐Hao , Ho Lu‐Chang
Published: October 2011

Purpose

There are risks of common bile duct (CBD) stones in acute cholecystitis, and there is a move among surgeons to identify choledocholithiasis before surgery. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreaticography (MRCP) has the potential to accurately detect choledocholithiasis in patients with acute cholecystitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive values of MRCP and elevated biochemical predictors for choledocholithiasis in patients with acute cholecystitis.

Methods

Between September 2006 and August 2008, of 84 patients with acute cholecystitis based on the diagnosis criteria of the Tokyo guidelines, 57 had MRCP preoperatively. The predictive values of six biochemical predictors for choledocholithiasis were also evaluated.

Results

Of the 57 patients, seven (12.28%) had choledocholithiasis, of whom three had CBD stones in nondilated ducts. The smallest stone detected in a dilated CBD and nondilated duct was 3.19 and 4.55 mm in diameter, respectively. None of our patients whose MRCP showed a clear CBD returned with symptomatic choledocholithiasis during the follow‐up period. All biochemical predictors and CBD diameter had limited positive predictive values.

Conclusions

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreaticography is a reliable evaluation technique for the detection of choledocholithiasis. It reduces the misdiagnosis of retained choledocholithiasis with normal biochemical predictors and prevents the risk of overlooking choledocholithiasis. No single predictor or combined markers have been found to be reliable for including/excluding the presence of choledocholithiasis.
Negative impact of low body mass index on surgical outcomes after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma
Authors: Okamura Yukiyasu , Maeda Atsuyuki , Matsunaga Kazuya , Kanemoto Hideyuki , Uesaka Katsuhiko
Published: October 2011

Background

Studies have previously indicated that surgical outcomes are poorer for obese patients. To date, few reports concerning the effect of obesity on patient outcomes following a hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been published. The present study, therefore, sought to determine the impact of patients' body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) on short‐ and long‐term surgical outcomes and to identify potential prognostic factors for HCC following a hepatectomy.

Methods

Patient data was retrospectively collected from 181 consecutive patients between September 2002 and August 2007 who had undergone hepatectomy for HCC with curative intent. Patients were assigned to three groups according to their BMI (low <18.5, standard 18.5—25, and high >25), and the clinical and pathological data, surgical outcome, and long‐term survival were analyzed and compared between the three groups.

Results

The overall survival rate of the low BMI group was notably below that of the standard group. Surgical outcomes were not significantly different between the three groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that a low BMI (<18.5) is a predictor of unfavorable prognosis.

Conclusions

The present study suggests that a low BMI is a significant prognostic factor for low overall survival when performing a hepatectomy for HCC.
