Preliminary Psychometrics of Responses to the Youth Externalizing Problems Screener
Authors: Renshaw Tyler L , Cook Clayton
Published: November 2018

This brief report presents preliminary psychometrics of responses to the Youth Externalizing Problems Screener (YEPS), which is a 10-item self-report rating scale intended for use as a screening instrument. The YEPS was designed to function as a companion measure to the Youth Internalizing Problems Screener (YIPS), facilitating the screening of broad mental health problems among students in secondary school settings. Analyses presented herein were conducted with the same small, preliminary samples of urban high-school students as those reported on for the initial development and validation of the YIPS (Sample 1: N = 177, Sample 2: N = 219; see Renshaw & Cook, 2018). Results suggest that responses to the YEPS showed a sound, unidimensional factor structure that is internally consistent, providing initial evidence for the purported internal structure of the measure. Findings also showed that YEPS scores had meaningful associations with other self-reported, theoretically relevant mental health variables, providing initial convergent evidence in favor of construct interpretation. Taken together, preliminary psychometrics support the validation argument for interpretation and use of YEPS scores as a brief measure of adolescents’ general externalizing problems. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Pain management in obstetrics and gynecology
Authors: Grigimalsky Ye V , Garga A Y
Published: November 2018

The problem of acute postoperative pain is present throughout the lifetime of surgery and, unfortunately, does not lose its relevance today. Inadequate pain control in the postoperative period leads to negative consequences. Multimodal analgesia is currently the method of choice for postoperative anesthesia. The basis is the prescription of paracetamol (Infulgan®) in combination or without NSAIDs with the addition of methods of regional analgesia and, in case of insufficient effect, the use of opioid analgesics lies in the basisi of this method. Choosing one or another scheme of multimodal analgesia is determined, above all, is due to the invasiveness of the surgical intervention performed.
La transición democrática española vista desde el México de José López Portillo
Authors: Sola Ayape Carlos
Published: November 2018

Un largo expediente de la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores, guardado en el Archivo General de la Nación y que, en su día, formó parte de la carpeta operativa del viaje oficial del presidente José López Portillo a España, en octubre de 1977, nos arroja luz sobre las claves que hicieron posible la transición democrática española. De este modo, el presente artículo rescata la mirada que desde el México de López Portillo se tenía de aquel complejo tránsito de la dictadura franquista a la monarquía de Juan Carlos I, precisamente, en el marco coyuntural del restablecimiento de las relaciones hispano-mexicanas.
Necesidad de una política de preservación digital para los archivos
Authors: Monroy Cuevas Erick
Published: November 2018

La tecnología informática brinda numerosas ventajas para la creación, almacenamiento y distribución de información. Sin embargo, aún no ofrece opciones efi caces para preservar la integridad, la autenticidad o la fi abilidad de documentos en el largo plazo. El presente artículo muestra la importancia de las políticas de preservación para enfrentar la obsolescencia tecnológica. Para ello se ubican las políticas de preservación como una rama del campo más general denominado políticas de información. Asimismo, se muestran ejemplos concretos sobre la metodología para el diseño de un marco de políticas de preservación digital con base en los hallazgos de los Archivos Nacionales de Australia, los Archivos Nacionales de Inglaterra y del proyecto Electronic Resource Preservation and Access Network de la Comisión Europea.

Main vowel variations in syllablesm with final consonants and final semi-consonants of Son Tinh local dialect in Quang Ngai
Authors: Nguyen Truyen Thi Thanh
Published: November 2018

This paper reports a problem related dialects, which is main vowel variations in syllables with final consonants and semiconsonants of Son Tinh local dialect in Quang Ngai. We call it “local dialect” as its phonetics is somewhat different from Quang Ngai dialect’s. In the dialect of Son Tinh, with the same phoneme but when combined with different final consonants and semiconsonants, it will produce different phonetic variations. It is said that the phonetics of local dialects along the coast lines of the South of the Central are very complicated but in fact they varied with fixed rules, typical of which was the case of Son Tinh local dialect in Quang Ngai which resulted in the lost of the main vowel [ə̆] (written as "â"); at the same time, mass-produced were homophones, making the number of complex syllables reduced in half, compared with the Vietnamese language.

The relationship between search, exploration activity and innovation performance of enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City
Authors: Ho Nhi Truong Y , Truong Chuong Minh
Published: November 2018

Innovation is the foundation that drives and decides the success of the enterprise. However, while many of Vietnamese firms are highly aware of the important role of innovation, less of them have achieved innovation performance. Research on innovation performance has been done in many developed economies, but it is very few in developing economies such as Vietnam. In order to help Vietnamese enterprises better understand the factors that affect the level of innovation performance, this research verifies the relationship between the search, exploration activity and innovation performance of enterprises in HCMC, based on research model of Aloini and Martini (2013) - The search is reflected by 4 factors: Learning about market, managing idea generation, network management system, openness to external sources; Exploration activity is reflected by 2 factors: Exploratory innovation, competence exploration. These are the factors that influence innovation performance strongly. The analysis of data collected from 252 Vietnamese enterprises in HCMC reveals that high level of search leads to high level of exploration activities and high level of exploration activities leads to high level of innovation performance. Management implications have been proposed to improve innovation performance.
Perspectives on supply chain quality management research

Published: November 2018

This study focuses on reviewing the current understanding of supply chain quality management research field in order to critically provide a systematic view about the existing relevant literature, and identify shortcomings and further research directions that should be explored. The Creswell’s methodology [1] in doing literature review is followed to conduct this study. As a result, three prevailing perspectives in supply chain quality management are (a) Supply chain management & quality management perspective in which the factors affecting supply chain quality management, integration, coordination, and sharing in supply chain, etc are done. But the sufficient investigation in entire supply chain as well as industry, barriers or facilitators, the role of other functions, quality of the supply chain, upstream-oriented quality activities, and organization learning within partners in the supply chain are less concerned; (b) Supply chain management & Lean perspective, prior studies identify factors affecting on supply chain performance and firm’s competitive advantages, benefits, characteristics, principles, practices and basic techniques for Lean supply chain management, etc. They have less interests in the entire supply chain investigation, Lean service, barriers or facilitators of supply chain quality management performance; and (c) Supply chain management & Innovation perspective, recent studies investigate factors affecting supply chain innovation, barriers or facilitators, developing innovation frameworks and approaches or strategies, etc. But they reveal limitations in the integration of supply chain strategies with innovation strategies and business strategies, barriers of innovation process, and how to cope with challenges and differences of various types of innovation. Overall, most of the existing researches on three mentioned perspectives mainly investigate within the manufacturing sector in developed countries, and they gives much attention to supply chain fulfillment; few studies focus on supply chain development and lack the combination.

Saint-Malo et les guerres maritimes du Ponant durant l’Affaire d’Écosse (1512-1560). Une singulière absence
Authors: Le Goff Hervé
Published: November 2018

L’histoire de Saint-Malo comporte quelques zones
d’ombre, en particulier pour la première moitié du xvie siècle. La Bretagne,
d’abord comme duché souverain associé et plus tard comme province,
faisant partie intégrante du Royaume, est à cette époque totalement et
directement engagée sur ses côtes et même sur son sol dans des
conflits internationaux sporadiques opposant les forces navales et
terrestres françaises à celles des Anglais, Écossais, Espagnols et
Flamands. Au contraire de Nantes, Penmarc’h, Brest, Le Conquet et
d’autres ports de moindre envergure, Saint-Malo ne paraît pas prendre
part aux concentrations massives de navires et de troupes qui
s’organisent en Bretagne comme en Normandie, pas plus qu’elle ne
semble fournir des forces navales pour la défense des côtes et la
protection de convois, ou être engagée de façon intensive dans les
guerres navales. Ce fait est curieux si l’on considère l’histoire
ultérieure de la ville et nous amène à questionner le potentiel
économique et maritime de Saint-Malo pendant cette période, ainsi que
l’origine de son pouvoir économique.
Au cœur des échanges européens : argent américain et circuits économiques entre la Bretagne et l’Espagne (1570-1635)
Authors: Priotti Jean-Philippe
Published: November 2018

L’arrivée massive de métaux précieux américains en
Andalousie dans les années 1570-1640 a été l’occasion pour les
marchands de Saint-Malo et de Vitré de s’imposer sur les marchés
espagnols, concurrençant ainsi les Espagnols qui s’étaient établis de
longue date dans les ports français et, au-delà dans le reste de
l’Europe. Grâce à organisation basée sur la proximité des zones de
production toilière, sur un commerce au comptant et la possession de
navires armés, et dotés d’une vision beaucoup plus rationnelle des
échanges, ils ont réussi à s’imposer comme d’authentiques acteurs de
la première mondialisation, s’appuyant aussi bien sur une tradition de
commerce de cabotage que sur des voyages d’exploration au long
cours.

The role of interreligious dialogues on religious tolerance
Authors: Vaezi Mahmood
Published: November 2018

The application of the word ‘dialogue’ has a life as long as history and the old texts of religions are full of dialogues prevailing among different religious people. Reviewing and analysing the background and history of religious dialogue in the world, more than anything else, we understand the principle of necessity and position of dialogue as a common and public principle among religions, which in a broader view has been acceptable to most, if not all, religious people. This issue indicates that a spiritual and inherent sense is within the substantial core of all humans towards dialogue, which as a natural and inherent feature has been prevailing from the beginning of creation up to the present, and it will continue so. Firstly, employing the dialogue or saying and listening either to the inner self or the other people, when it is being formed with a commitment to human principles, will make human overpass a self-oriented attitude and recognition other persons. Secondly, it makes him/her listen and tolerate others’ views. Thirdly, it makes him/her be committed towards the principle of tolerance and recognise of the other(s) as well. On this basis, the continuity of the principle of dialogue and emphasis on this innate tradition will cause the spread of the culture of tolerance, peace and tranquillity. Furthermore, distancing from dialogue will lay down grounds for a self-oriented attitude, prejudice, pride, omission of others and violence in human society. On this case, while giving originality to dialogue, Islam clearly and firmly puts dialogue forth as a basic principle in human relations and a base to achieve the common ideals of human communities, which are discussed in detail in this article.
Knowledge Energy, Recurrent Learning and the Transformation of an R&D Institution in a Mexican Public University
Authors: Vega-González Luis Roberto , Zanella Rodolfo , Bruce Neil C.
Published: November 2018

When University R&D institutions perform projects to create technology solutions, they produce knowledge and learn. The basic idea proposed in this article is that one of the fuels that produce such a dynamic process is the organization’s knowledge energy. When it flows in multidisciplinary projects within and outside an organization's borders, it also produces recurrent learning along each technology prototype improvement. Through the years this dynamic is capable of producing substantial transformations and empower R&D institutions, as we found in the transformation of the Applied Sciences and Technological Development Center into the Applied Sciences and Technology Institute of the National Autonomous University in México. This is a limited case study.
Racial Expulsion and a Myth of Whiteness: Why Reinhardt Normal College Abandoned the New South and Became a Mountain School
Authors: Wheeler Kenneth H.
Published: November 2018

Reinhardt Normal College was founded at the edge of Southern Appalachia in 1883 by New South promoters from the area who saw the school as part of a larger vision of urban, transportation, and industrial development. By 1900, a second generation identified the school as the antidote to cultural backwardness and mountain isolation. Both groups advocated colonization of blacks or presented the school as though it existed in an all-white setting. This emphasis on the “purity” of mountain whiteness affected the structure and intellectual output of the school and contributed to an environment in which racial expulsion actually occurred.
Comparison of the Coal and Fracking Industries in Northern Appalachia
Authors: Zwick Austin
Published: November 2018

This article compares and contrasts the economic operations of the coal industry and the fracking industry in Northern Appalachia. Both of these fossil fuel industries brought a boom of employment to the region, but the implications for the region differ. For example, the coal industry built communities around it based off multi-generational employment whereas fracking is reliant on short-term fly-in/fly-out (FIFO) work arrangements. This article also discusses the environmental impact of both industries, as well as the lack of support for environmental regulation in the name of jobs.
Fracking and Value Capture in the Pittsburgh Metropolitan Statistical Area
Authors: Zwick Austin
Published: November 2018

The Marcellus Shale play lies below Northern Appalachia. Pittsburgh is unique in that it is surrounded by fracking on all sides. This research note investigates how much this metropolitan statistical area is capturing value from this industry by (1) mapping the locations where fracking is occurring, (2) investigating which companies are responsible for the drilling, and (3) reporting how many jobs the industry is providing. The hope is that other academics and practitioners find the data in the tables and maps useful for further research.
Radical Nonviolence, Interracial Utopias, and the Congress of Racial Equality in the Early Civil Rights Movement
Authors: Wolcott Victoria W.
Published: November 2018

By the early 1940s, activists in the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR), and pacifist interracial communities such as the Harlem Ashram trained thousands in the tactics of nonviolent direct action. They rejected the gradualism of racial liberalism and the sectarian politics of the Communist Party, calling instead for the immediate end of racial inequality and a socialist future. These activists adopted the methods of earlier utopian communities by living communally and practicing a prefigurative politics that called for immediate change. Most significantly, activists like Bayard Rustin and James Farmer taught nonviolent direct action in hundreds of workshops and race relations institutes. Participants brought these tactics into the streets as they engaged in major desegregation campaigns in northern and western cities. Largely overlooked in the historiography of the long civil rights movement, understanding the contributions of radical pacifists to civil rights campaigns outside the South adds a vital chapter to that history. And their eventual contributions to the southern mass movement helped launch the second Reconstruction in America.
How Difference Comes to Matter: “Intra-Action” and Mediation in Digital Art Practice
Authors: Cypher Mark
Published: November 2018

This paper argues for an approach to mediation in digital arts practice that focuses on how change and difference emerge in the art-making process. Using Karen Barad’s agential realist conception of intra-action, this paper describes how the form and expression of digital art practice is co-constituted, yet contingently differentiated by the mediations of a whole host of entangled (f)actors. The case study that follows shows how these actors become more or less determinate and come to embody a particular set of concepts that become meaningful through digital art practice.
When Drawing Proliferates: Toward an Onto-Epistemological Pedagogy of Children’s Drawing
Authors: Sunday Kristine
Published: November 2018

Children’s drawing is an important part of early childhood learning experiences. While young children seem to have little need for drawing instruction, classrooms where drawing features as a central component to curriculum provide material conditions that can sustain its practice. In this paper, I employ a new material heuristic to explore how drawing and the drawings children produce are implicated in the production of pedagogical matter. To do so, I invite readers to visit with a Reggio-inspired preschool classroom where, for the past 3 years, I have participated together with children and teachers in a research relationship focusing on young children’s learning and early childhood pedagogy.

Published: November 2018

The Lung Imaging Data Consortium and Image Database Resource Initiative (LIDC) conducted a multi-site reader study that produced a comprehensive database of Computed Tomography (CT) scans for over 1000 subjects annotated by multiple expert readers. The result is hosted in the LIDC-IDRI collection of The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). Annotations that accompany the images of the collection are stored using project-specific XML representation. This complicates their reuse, since no general-purpose tools are available to visualize or query those objects, and makes harmonization with other similar type of data non-trivial. To make the LIDC dataset more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) to the research community, we prepared their standardized representation using the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard. This manuscript is intended to serve as a companion to the dataset to facilitate its reuse.
Review on Design of Frequency Selective Surfaces based on Substrate Integrated Waveguide Technology
Authors: Varikuntla K. K. , Singarav R.
Published: November 2018

The spectacular development of frequency selective surfaces (FSS) as a spatial filter, absorbers and reflectors made them feasible for the aerospace and defence applications. The intervention of substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology into FSS results in the improvement of unit cell structures and better performance by isolating them from inter-element interference. Such FSS structures with SIW cavities upholds the FSS properties and improves their selectivity and performance. Considering the diversity in applications of introducing SIW cavity technology into FSS, the aim of this paper is to furnish a study on the glimpse of EM design techniques to analyze this type of structures. Design topologies of narrowing bandwidth, dual resonance, the design of FSS with sharp sideband edges and frequency selective polarization rotating structures are presented. Further, a novel design for improving the bandwidth of reflective FSS is discussed based on SIW technology. Fabrication techniques pertaining to this type of structures are presented in brief.
Bacterial Photolithography: Patterning Escherichia coli Biofilms with High Spatial Control Using Photocleavable Adhesion Molecules
Authors: Chen Fei , Ricken Julia , Xu Dongdong , Wegner Seraphine V.
Published: November 2018

Biofilms are not only a leading cause of chronic infections and biofouling, but they also have a tremendous positive potential in biotechnology for biocatalysis and waste treatment. Biofilms are spatially structured communities of microbes, which exchange chemicals and communicate with each other. By spatially controlling bacterial adhesion to surfaces, and therefore the microstructure of biofilms, a promising method of understanding social interactions between bacteria and designed biofilms is developed. The bacterial photolithography approach described here allows to photopattern specific bacteria adhesion molecules, to control surface adhesion, and to guide the formation of biofilms. To do this, α‐D‐mannoside, which is recognized by the Escherichia coli FimH receptor, is linked to a nonadhesive polyethylene glycol surface through a photocleavable 2‐nitrobenzyl linker. When a pattern of UV light in a specific shape is projected onto these surfaces, the light‐exposed areas become nonadhesive and bacteria only adhere to the dark, unexposed areas in the photopattern. Bacterial photolithography enables bacterial patterning with high spatial resolution down to 10 µm without mechanical interference. Additionally, patterning biofilms with complicated geometries allows studying the importance of microscale spatial organization on the collective behavior of bacteria such as quorum sensing.
Gravity–capillary evaporation regimes in microgrooves
Authors: Zhang Chengbin , Yu Fawen , Li Xuejie , Chen Yongping
Published: November 2018

The gravity–capillary evaporation phase change in microgrooves inside a heat pipe is experimentally investigated by a visualization system. The evaporation regime, startup temperature response, and evaporation thermal resistance for gravity–capillary evaporation are evaluated and compared with those for capillary evaporation. The results identify oscillatory motion of vapor–liquid interface for gravity–capillary evaporation in rectangular microgrooves arising from the competition between gravity, the capillary force, and the shear force. In addition, the presence of gravity introduces the transition from fin–film evaporation regime to corner–film evaporation regime in rectangular microgrooves, and hence results in an overshoot startup and temperature oscillation during the process of gravity–capillary evaporation. Interestingly, the corner–film evaporation improves the evaporation phase change performance in the microgrooves. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 65: 1119–1125, 2019
Sulfonic Group Functionalized Periodic Mesoporous Ethylenesilica: A Highly Efficient and Reusable Catalysts for Carbon‐Carbon Coupling Reaction
Authors: Zhang Linlong , Zhou Wei , Xu Yong , Wang Yaoyao , Hu Jianglei , Shi Fengwei
Published: November 2018

One‐pot method for the preparation of well‐ordered periodic mesoporous ethylenesilica functionalized in‐situ with sulfonic groups (pr‐SO3H‐PMO) was deployed successfully. The sulfonic groups have been used as a Brønsted acid to catalyze the carbon‐carbon coupling reaction of α‐electron‐withdrawing group (EWG) ketene dithioacetal derivatives and benzhydrol. Meanwhile, this series of materials exhibit excellent catalytic performance in the C−C coupling reaction and pr‐SO3H‐PMO(0.39) possesses highly efficient catalytic performance among the prepared materials, over which the conversion of ketene dithioacetals achieved 98.3% and the yield of the coupling products reached 93.4%. In addition, evidence is presented that the catalytic activity of pr‐SO3H‐PMO(0.39) material has been recycled up to five times without a significant reduction.
Skull Morphology of the Lizard Ptychoglossus vallensis (Squamata: Alopoglossidae) With Comments on the Variation Within Gymnophthalmoidea
Authors: Hernández Morales Cristian , Peloso Pedro L. V. , Bolívar García Wilmar , Daza Juan D.
Published: November 2018

In recent years, major changes have been proposed for the phylogenetic relationships within the Gymnophthalmoidea, including the description of Alopoglossidae. Recent studies relied primarily on molecular data and have not accounted for evidence from alternative sources, such as morphology. In this study, we provide a detailed bone‐by‐bone description of the skull of Ptychoglossus vallensis and compare this species with other gymnophthalmoideans. The description was based on 10 cleared‐and‐stained specimens, four disarticulated skulls, and computed microtomography data of P. vallensis. Most recent phylogenetic hypothesis for the Gymnophthalmoidea was used as a framework to compare the skull of P. vallensis with other species of the Alopoglossidae, Gymnophthalmidae, and Teiidae. Marked similarities between alopoglossids and gymnophthalmids were observed in contrast to teiids, probably due to convergence generated by miniaturization. We also qualitatively analyzed the kinesis of the skull of P. vallensis concluding that is highly akinetic, a trait commonly evolved in fossorial, primarily burrowing squamates. We also describe one unique osteological feature for Alopoglossidae that is not known in any other squamate group. Anat Rec, 302:1074–1092, 2019. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Our consumption of online information is mediated by filtering, ranking, and recommendation algorithms that introduce unintentional biases as they attempt to deliver relevant and engaging content. It has been suggested that our reliance on online technologies such as search engines and social media may limit exposure to diverse points of view and make us vulnerable to manipulation by disinformation. In this article, we mine a massive data set of web traffic to quantify two kinds of bias: (i) homogeneity bias, which is the tendency to consume content from a narrow set of information sources, and (ii) popularity bias, which is the selective exposure to content from top sites. Our analysis reveals different bias levels across several widely used web platforms. Search exposes users to a diverse set of sources, while social media traffic tends to exhibit high popularity and homogeneity bias. When we focus our analysis on traffic to news sites, we find higher levels of popularity bias, with smaller differences across applications. Overall, our results quantify the extent to which our choices of online systems confine us inside “social bubbles.”

Hongjingtian injection is made from Rhodiola wallichiana and used in the treatment of stable angina pectoris associated with coronary heart disease. In this study, the chemical constituents in Hongjingtian injection were comprehensively studied using liquid chromatography quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry. A total of 49 compounds were identified or assumed, including 10 organic acids, nine phenylethanoids, 10 phenylpropanoids, two flavonoid glycosides, seven monoterpene glycosides, seven octylglycosides and four other types of compounds. The structures of seven compounds were confirmed by comparing their retention times, MS and UV spectra with the corresponding authentic standards. Amongst the 49 compounds, 35 were firstly found in R. wallichiana, while they have been reported in other species of the genus Rhodiola, including Rhodiola crenulata, Rhodiola sacra, Rhodiola rosea and Rhodiola kirilowii. The possible fragmentation pathways in the mass spectrometry of the major types of compounds are proposed and summarized. Our study demonstrates a rapid method for characterizing the chemical constituents present in the Hongjingtian injection, which could also be applied to the identification of chemical constituents in other TCM formulae containing R. wallichiana.

The ability of professional schools to punish students for unprofessional use of online social media while off campus continues to be an issue contested in the courts. A recent decision by the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico, Hunt v. Univ. of New Mexico, aligns with other rulings throughout the country in finding that administrators in professional schools may require compliance with defined professionalism standards, even for off‐campus activities, so long as their actions are reasonably related to pedagogical concerns.

Colleges and universities across the United States are facing difficult financial challenges, including rising costs, severe political blowback from tuition hikes, and — in some cases — worsening debt‐to‐endowment metrics. Increasingly, parents and students are also questioning the costs and benefits of higher education, exploring alternative career paths and options. These and other factors are forcing many colleges and universities to reduce workforces, reduce academic offerings, and/or consolidate campuses or institutions.

Annona purpurea grows in the areas of low elevation in deciduous forests of Mexico, those areas have marked rainy and dry seasons. This species produces more than 30 bioactive alkaloids that could have potential in the control of phytopathogens. This research provides data on the variation of the content and number of alkaloids during an annual cycle and the associated inhibitory potential of the compounds against three phytopathogenic fungi. For one year, alkaloidal extracts of stems and leaves were obtained every two months. The extract profiles were determined by gas chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry and their antifungal activity was examined in vitro. The alkaloids, annomontine and oxopurpureine, obtained from the roots and leaves, respectively, were also evaluated individually. The yields, profiles and activities of the extracts, as well as the abundance of annomontine and oxopurpureine in the extracts, were contrasted with the seasonality and phenological phases of the plant. The data indicate that the alkaloid content was higher at the height of the dry season. High yields also occurred during flowering. The strongest inhibitory effect was obtained from the root extracts during the last month of dry season. This finding seems to be explained by the higher chemodiversity of alkaloids in extracts from this season. Annomontine and oxopurpureine inhibited all three phytopathogens; however, they were not solely responsible for the activity of A. purpurea.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism of osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on microarray profiles. Three human joint fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLSs) microarray profiles including 26 OA samples, 33 RA samples, and 20 healthy control (HC) samples were downloaded from the GEO database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between OA and HC (DEGsOA) and RA and HC (DEGsRA) were identified. Co‐expressed and specific genes were analysed between DEGsOA and DEGsRA. Gene ontology, KEGG pathway enrichment, PPI network, and GSEA were performed to predict the function of DEGs. Two hundred seventy‐six and 410 differential genes in DEGsOA and DEGsRA were observed. One hundred fifty coexpressed genes and 126 OA‐specific genes (SELE, SERPINE1, and NFKBIA were the key genes) between DEGsOA and DEGsRA were enriched in the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) signalling pathway. However, 260 RA‐specific genes of which the key genes were CCR5, CCR7, CXCR4, CCL5, and CCR4 were enriched in chemokine signalling pathway. Therefore, FLSs might exert an inflammatory effect by regulating TNF signalling pathway, targeting SELE, SERPINE1, and NFKBIA during the process of OA. Although TNF signalling pathway was also involved in the synovitis of RA, chemokine signalling pathway played the key role in RA FLSs mediating cell migration, invasion, and release of chemotaxis. In addition, CCR5, CCR7, CXCR4, CCL5, and CCR4 might be hub genes in RA. The different biomarkers and pathways identified in OA and RA may provide references for further study.

Significance of the study

This study revealed the similar and different mechanisms of FLSs and different biomarkers that might with important regulatory effects on RA and OA. In OA, FLSs played an inflammatory role through TNF signalling pathway, targeting SELE, SERPINE1, and NFKBIA. Although TNF signalling pathway was also involved in the synovitis of RA, chemokine signalling pathway was a crucial pathway in mediating FLSs migration, invasion, and release of chemotaxis. CCR5, CCR7, CXCR4, CCL5, and CCR4 might be keys genes in RA. We expect that our results will bring more comprehensively understanding between RA and OA for researchers.

Objectives

To investigate the impact of the introduction of the next generation self‐expanding (SE) and balloon‐expandable (BE) transcatheter heart valves (THVs) on the incidence of prosthesis–patient mismatch (PPM) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Background

PPM is a risk factor for accelerated degeneration of bioprosthetic aortic valves. Data on PPM after TAVR are derived mainly from studies of older generation THVs.

Methods

PPM was assessed at 30 days post‐TAVR with the older generation (Medtronic CoreValve, n = 120 and Edwards Sapien XT, n = 121) and the next generation THVs (Medtronic Evolut R/Pro, n = 136 and Edwards Sapien 3, n = 363).

Results

The incidence of any and severe PPM was 15.1% and 0.0% for the older generation THVs, and 42.8% and 12.1% for the next generation THVs. The incidence of moderate and severe PPM was 23.3% and 3.5% in patients who received an Evolut R/Pro vs. 33.1% and 14.7% in those who received a Sapien 3 (P < 0.001). On multivariable analysis, TAVR with the Sapien 3 THV was not associated with PPM, while left ventricular ejection fraction (0.97 [0.95–0.99], P = 0.002), history of myocardial infarction (2.09 [1.00–4.34], P = 0.049), annulus maximum diameter (0.84 [0.77–0.92], P < 0.001), and THV oversizing (0.90 [0.87–0.94], P < 0.001) were independently associated with PPM. In Sapien 3, the risk of any and severe PPM was higher in those with no oversizing (odds ratio: 3.25 [1.23–8.53], P = 0.017 and 5.79[2.33–14.36], P < 0.001).

Conclusions

The incidence of PPM in contemporary TAVR is significant, especially with the next generation BE THV without adequate oversizing.
