Epigenetic perspectives on development: Evolving insights on the origins of variation
Authors: Champagne Frances A.
Published: February 2010

The articles in this special section of Developmental Psychobiology explore topics discussed at the 24th Annual Winter Conference on Current Issues in Developmental Psychobiology held in January 2009 in St. Croix. The final session of the meeting: “Epigenetics and Behavioral Development Within and Across Generations” included discussion of several emerging issues relevant to the study of individual differences, parental influences on development, and the stability versus plasticity of the underlying mechanisms involved in behavioral variation. The contributions to this special section highlight the importance of the epigenetic regulation of gene expression to the field of developmental psychobiology and the critical role of these molecular mechanisms in mediating the interplay between genes and the environment. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cancer models in Caenorhabditis elegans
Authors: Kirienko Natalia V. , Mani Kumaran , Fay David S.
Published: February 2010

Although now dogma, the idea that nonvertebrate organisms such as yeast, worms, and flies could inform, and in some cases even revolutionize, our understanding of oncogenesis in humans was not immediately obvious. Aided by the conservative nature of evolution and the persistence of a cohort of devoted researchers, the role of model organisms as a key tool in solving the cancer problem has, however, become widely accepted. In this review, we focus on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and its diverse and sometimes surprising contributions to our understanding of the tumorigenic process. Specifically, we discuss findings in the worm that address a well‐defined set of processes known to be deregulated in cancer cells including cell cycle progression, growth factor signaling, terminal differentiation, apoptosis, the maintenance of genome stability, and developmental mechanisms relevant to invasion and metastasis.

A Simple and Efficient Catalytic System for Coupling Aryl Halides with Aqueous Ammonia in Water
Authors: Wu Zhiqing , Jiang Zhaoqiong , Wu Di , Xiang Haifeng , Zhou Xiangge
Published: February 2010

The cross‐coupling reaction between aryl halides andaqueous ammonia was efficiently catalyzed by the sulfonato–Cu(salen) complex in water with high yields. A variety of substituted aryl bromides and aryl iodides were found to be applicable to the environmentally benign system. Substituted 1H‐benzimidazole could also be easily prepared by coupling aqueous ammonia with 2‐iodoacetanilide in one pot with this catalytic system.
Experimental Analysis on Performance and Durability of SOFC Demonstration Unit
Authors: Halinen M. , Saarinen J. , Noponen M. , Vinke I. C. , Kiviaho J.
Published: February 2010

A technical description and experimental analysis of a SOFC demonstration unit is presented. The unit contains most of the primary BoP‐components of a complete SOFC system, except of air and fuel recirculation equipment or fuel system compressor. Natural gas is used as the fuel and electricity is supplied to the electric grid. A 5 kW power class planar SOFC stack from Research Centre Jülich is assembled to the demo unit and a long‐term experiment is conducted to assess the characteristic performance and durability of different components of the unit (e.g. the SOFC stack, the fuel pre‐reformer and air heat exchangers). The evolution of absolute voltage drop of the stack over time is found to be of the same magnitude when compared to short stack experiments. Thus, other system components are not observed to cause an increase in the characteristic voltage drop of the stack. Two BoP‐components, the afterburner and the power conversion unit failed to operate as designed. The performance of other BoP‐components i.e. fuel pre‐reformer and heat exchangers were satisfactory during the test run, and no significant performance loss could be measured.
Balanced steady state free precession fMRI
Authors: Lee Jin Hyung
Published: February 2010

Balanced‐steady‐state free precession (b‐SSFP) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) encompasses several recently developed methods that utilize b‐SSFP acquisition for fMRI. Short repetition time (TR) and readout durations of b‐SSFP allow distortion‐free acquisition, 3D imaging, and high‐resolution isotropic voxel acquisition. b‐SSFP fMRI can be categorized into two different classes depending on which contrast mechanism it exploits. Transition‐band b‐SSFP fMRI is a technique that utilizes the sharp transition of the b‐SSFP profile relying on the fact that oxygenated and deoxegenated hemoglobin has different resonance frequencies. On the other hand, passband b‐SSFP fMRI utilizes b‐SSFP in the relatively large flat portion of the b‐SSFP off‐resonance spectrum where oxygenation contrast is expected to be generated from the rapid refocusing in the presence of off‐resonance due to oxy‐ and deoxy‐hemoglobin. While both methods share the advantage of b‐SSFP acquisition such as distortion‐free, 3D high‐resolution functional imaging, the main distinction of the two methods come from the contrast mechanism and spatial coverage. In this article, the two classes of b‐SSFP‐based functional brain imaging methods' characteristics will be compared and discussed. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Apparent diffusion coefficient dependent fMRI: Spatiotemporal characteristics and implications on calibrated fMRI
Authors: Song Allen W. , Truong Trong‐Kha
Published: February 2010

In this manuscript, we review the development of an alternative functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) contrast mechanism based on the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), in light of the recent progress in other complementary functional imaging contrasts sensitive to cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV). Specifically, we discuss the spatial and temporal characteristics of ADC fMRI in localizing neuronal activities, and also draw inference on its potential applicability to achieve fast calibrated fMRI. We found that optimized dynamic ADC contrast can lead to improved spatial localization in small vessel networks close to the true neuronal activities, while having the potential to simultaneously generate the blood oxygenation level‐dependent (BOLD) and CBF/CBV contrasts required in a calibrated fMRI experiment. With sufficient signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and temporal resolution, fMRI based on thedynamic ADC contrast may prove to be an efficient technique toachieve accurate and quantitative measures of neuronal activities. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Role of sonography in the diagnosis and treatment of a large iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of a hepatic artery
Authors: Miraglia Roberto , Caruso Settimo , Maruzzelli Luigi , Luca Angelo , Gridelli Bruno
Published: February 2010

We report the sonographic (US) findings in a case of successful combined endovascular and percutaneous treatment of a large hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm, responsible of massive hemobilia, in a patient with coexisting portal vein thrombosis. Previous percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage placement caused the pseudoaneurysm. US identified the pseudoaneurysm and showed the biliary drain crossing the pseudoaneurysm lumen. After partial endovascular coils embolization of the pseudoaneurysm lumen, the biliary catheter was removed and the entry site of the catheter in the aneurysmal sac was occluded with an Amplatzer vascular plug released under US guidance. The residual lumen was then completely embolized with coils and Lipiodol. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 38:450–453, 2010
Fiction, business studies, and leadership: From know‐how to embracing the impossible
Authors: Fraiberg Allison
Published: February 2010

In his article, “Educational Research: The Hardest Science of All,” policy scholar David Berliner (2002) asserts that “no unpoetic description of the human condition can ever be complete” (p. 20). Berliner's words echo the epistemological and methodological climate of late 1970s and early 1980s social science research, a phase often characterized as the “literary turn.” In this historical moment, social science scholars turned to interdisciplinary sources, most notably literary theory and the humanities, for new means of addressing the ineffable, aesthetic aspects of human activity. This work and emphasis remains a prominent, growing genre within several fields, exemplified by widespread recognition of Margaret Wheatley's poetic approach to leadership inquiry and pedagogy (2009), frequent inclusion of aesthetic works in leading research journals (such as Qualitative Inquiry), and recent creation of arts‐ and humanities‐based educational research criteria for submissions to the American Educational Research Association's annual conference and sponsored journals.

No field of inquiry better illustrates the need to understand human activity as “poetic” than leadership, which is perhaps the quintessential marker of social existence. Accordingly, in this symposium we wish to explore how such interdisciplinary approaches, specifically those grounded in the humanities, have manifested in leadership inquiry and pedagogy. It is our hope that this collection of essays will illustrate the breadth and depth of the field of leadership studies, as well as offer our readers new perspectives and inspiration in their own research and practice.
The effects of clinically used MRI contrast agents on the biological properties of human mesenchymal stem cells
Authors: Kim Hoe Suk , Oh Sue Young , Joo Hyun Jung , Son Kyu‐Ri , Song In‐Chan , Moon Woo Kyung
Published: February 2010

This study was undertaken to compare the labeling efficiencies of three iron‐oxide based MRI contrast agents [Feridex, Resovist and monocrystalline iron oxide (MION)] and to evaluate their effects on the biological properties of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). The hMSCs were cultivated for 1 and 7 days after 24‐h labeling with iron oxide nanoparticles (12.5 µg Fe/mL) in the presence of poly‐L‐lysine (0.75 µg/mL). The hMSCs were labeled more efficiently with use of Feridex, Resovist as compared to MION. No significant differences were observed in terms of viability and proliferation of labeled hMSCs. The level of Oct‐4 mRNA increased in labeled hMSCs at day 1 and the cellular phenotype changed from CD45‐/CD44+/CD29+ to CD45low/CD44+/CD29+ at day 7, which closely resembles the phenotype of fresh bone marrow‐derived hMSCs. Our study has demonstrated that the Feridex or Resovist is the preferred labeling agent for hMSCs. There was a change in Oct‐4 and CD45 expression after labeling.

Exact solutions to the double travelling salesman problem with multiple stacks
Authors: Petersen Hanne L. , Archetti Claudia , Speranza M. Grazia
Published: February 2010

In this article we present mathematical programming formulations and solution approaches for the optimal solution of the Double Travelling Salesman Problem with Multiple Stacks (DTSPMS). A set of orders is given, each one requiring transportation of one item from a customer in a pickup region to a customer in a delivery region. The vehicle available for the transportation in each region carries a container. The container is organized in rows of given length. Each row is handled independently from the others according to a Last In First Out stack policy. The DTSPMS problem consists of determining the pickup tour, the loading plan of the container and the delivery tour in such a way that the total length of the two tours is minimized. The formulations are based on different modeling ideas and each formulation gives rise to a specific solution approach. We present computational results on a set of benchmark instances that compare the different approaches and show that the most successful one is a decomposition approach applied to a new model. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Photochemical reaction mechanisms and kinetics with molecular nanocrystals: surface quenching of triplet benzophenone nanocrystals
Authors: Simoncelli Sabrina , Kuzmanich Gregory , Gard Matthew N. , Garcia‐Garibay Miguel A.
Published: February 2010

Organic molecular nanocrystals suspended in water are useful when studying reactions that occur in the solid state because they retain not only the reactive and supramolecular properties of bulk crystals, but are also amenable to transmission spectroscopy. Having previously studied the triplet state of benzophenone nanocrystals by laser flash photolysis transmission spectroscopy, we now report nanosecond experiments in the presence of several possible quenchers: anionic and cationic surfactants, dissolved oxygen, and as a function of solvent deuteration (H2O and D2O). After finding these to have no effect, several anionic quenchers (I−, Br−, and N) were tested by Stern–Volmer analysis. Significant correlation between the quenching rates in solution and in nanocrystals suggests that the electronic excitation is accessible to quenchers at the surface.

Endoscopic management of sphenoclival neoplasms: Anatomical correlates and patient outcomes
Authors: Solares C. Arturo , Grindler David , Luong Amber , Kanowitz Seth J. , Sade Burak , Citardi Martin J. , Batra Pete S.
Published: February 2010

Objective

To characterize the endoscopic anatomy of the sphenoid sinus and the adjacent clivus and cavernous sinus, and to review patient outcomes for neoplasms in this region.

Study Design

Cadaver dissection and chart review.

Setting

Cadaver laboratory and tertiary care center.

Subjects and Methods

Fresh‐frozen cadaver heads were dissected to study the endoscopic anatomy of the sphenoclival region. Retrospective chart review of patients undergoing endoscopic resection of sphenoclival neoplasms between 2000 and 2008 was performed.

Results

Transnasal endoscopic access to the sphenoid sinus was obtained in 10 cadaver heads. A clival window with mean dimensions of 1.4 cm × 1.7 cm was created. Through the clival window, identification and dissection of the basilar and vertebral arteries, mamillary bodies, third ventricle, cranial nerves III through VI, and cervical rootlets were possible. Nineteen patients with mean age of 56.2 years were treated. The most common pathologies were inverted papilloma (5), chordoma (4), squamous cell carcinoma (2), and adenoid cystic carcinoma (2). None of the patients required adjunct craniotomies. Nine patients received adjuvant therapies. Thirteen (68.4%) patients had no evidence of disease, five (26.3%) patients were alive with disease, and one (5.3%) patient died of disease at mean follow‐up of 32.6 months.

Conclusion

The sphenoclival region poses a significant surgical challenge given its central location at the skull base and proximity to critical structures. This study demonstrates that transnasal endoscopic access to the sphenoclival region is technically feasible and allows successful surgical extirpation of tumors with a low complication rate and acceptable patient outcomes.

Objective

To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy as salvage treatment for cervical node recurrence from nonanaplastic thyroid cancer refractory to other modalities.

Study Design

Pilot study.

Setting

A single institution‐based practice.

Subjects and Methods

Between August 2002 and November 2007, nine patients with recurrent nonanaplastic thyroid cancer were treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy for nodal metastases. Radiotherapy was delivered in one to three fractions, and the median dose was 36 Gy (range 30‐39 Gy).

Results

Twenty‐nine nodes in nine patients were treated. Seven patients had papillary carcinoma, and two had medullary carcinoma. These patients developed nodal recurrence after they received salvage surgery and/or radioisotope (RI) treatment for recurrent thyroid cancer. All nodes were in the cervical or supraclavicular areas, excepting one hilar node. Retropharyngeal node metastases were present in five patients. The median follow‐up period was 23 months (range 4‐63 mo). No local progression was observed in nodes treated by stereotactic body radiotherapy. Four patients developed new metastases in nontarget regional nodes after radiotherapy, and in two of these, regional failure was salvaged by additional stereotactic body radiotherapy. No serious adverse events were observed in any patient.

Conclusion

In select patients, stereotactic body radiotherapy may be a feasible option for treating refractory nodal recurrence from nonanaplastic thyroid cancer. Further studies are necessary to define the role of stereotactic body radiotherapy in the management of thyroid cancer.

Length of stay comparisons for private and public hospitals
Authors: Badham Jennifer , Brandrup Jason
Published: February 2010

This analysis uses average length of stay as a proxy for efficiency, to compare the Australian private and public hospitalsectors. We conclude that private hospitals are more efficient than public hospitals in providing the range of care providedby private hospitals. However, public hospitals are more efficient in handling the casemix of the public hospital sector.The picture is more complicated when particular types of care (such as obstetric and psychiatric) are excluded.

Caring about carepaths in Queenslandand Bulgaria: a commentary
Authors: Hindle Don
Published: February 2010

I found the paper by Pearson and Macintosh (2001) to be exciting and disturbing. It is an achievement when several clinical disciplines work together to make major changes in their daily work. It is disturbing that, when they have made so much progress, there should be talk about undoing it all - or at least some of it.

Falls prevention: partnering occupational therapy and general practitioners.
Authors: Brandis Susan J , Tuite Amanda T
Published: February 2010

The Falls STOP project was a partnership between general practitioners (GPs) and occupational therapists with thecommon goal to reduce accidental falls in the elderly. A home visiting service was implemented that included theorganisation of home modifications, education on falls prevention strategies and referral to other community services.The pilot demonstrated some valuable benefits to sixty-eight clients referred to the program by twenty GPs. A numberof resources were developed such as a falls risk questionnaire completed by patients while waiting to see the doctor, anda falls prevention educational booklet. A significant challenge for future preventative programs is rousing the interestof a larger group of referring doctors, and promoting the benefits of shared care arrangements with occupationaltherapists that target specific health issues such as falls in the elderly.
Empirical comparison of DRG variants using cardiovascular surgery data: initial results of a project at 18 German hospitals
Authors: Roeder Norbert , Rochell Bernhard , Juhra Christian , Mueller Marcel
Published: February 2010

In 2000, the responsibility for selecting a DRG variant for use in Germany was assigned to a body comprising representatives of hospitals and insurers called the Self-Administration Board (or Board in this paper). To help the Board, we applied cardiac surgery data from 18 German hospitals to eight different DRG variants. The error caused by bad coding quality could be minimized this way, since all diagnoses and procedures in cardiac surgery must be recorded for quality assurance purposes. To match the German code to the appropriate code required by the DRG variant, we created mapping tables whenever needed. As far as cardiac surgery is concerned, the Australian AR-DRG and the French GHM variants provided the best medical relevance, while the AR-DRG variant considered the level of severity better. Other variants would have to be updated to better reflect the level of medical complexity. Three main causes for wrong grouping could be identified for all systems: incomplete mapping, not enough reference to multidisciplinary treatments, and system construction problems.
The rocky road to health reform:some lessons from New Zealand
Authors: Ashton Toni
Published: February 2010

Ongoing structural change has been a feature of the New Zealand health system throughout the 1990s. As we enterthe new millennium a new government is now embarking upon yet another round of reform. I look back on the pastfew years and consider what lessons might be learned about the process of health policy-making in New Zealand. Theyinclude the need for a clear vision about the goals of health policy, the importance of consulting with key stakeholdersat an early stage, the problems of implementing change too speedily, and the need to allow sufficient time for systemsto mature before replacing them with new structures.
Hospital patient libraries andinformation services in Australia
Authors: Glockner Brigitte
Published: February 2010

In order to find out how many and what kind of Hospital Patient Libraries exist in Australia I placed a "Request for Information" on our national electronic discussion list entitled 'aliaHealth'. This discussion list has presently nearly 300 subscribers. Most of them are located in Australia, but they also come from Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. The e-mail address for 'aliaHealth' is: aliaHealth@alianet.alia.org.au. The result of my enquiry was rather poor: there are three Hospital Patient Libraries in Western Australia, one in Queensland and two in Victoria. The criterion was that the Library or Patient information Service had to be located within the Hospital grounds. The six Libraries or Information Services are described in detail.
The future of hospitals
Authors: Walsh Michael K
Published: February 2010

In 2100,hospitals will focus on care of the sick, but the nature of health, sickness, treatment and care will be very different.Current hospital-based diagnostic services will be automated and deliverable in the home, resulting in a major shift of the burden of caring.This shift will eliminate today's community hospital.Work of low to medium complexity will be undertaken,usually by machines,in the home. Ambulatory centres, highly automated, highly accessible, will be customer friendly one-stop health shops of tomorrow.Machines will substantially replace human labour.Hospitals will remain cherished icons and centres of health knowledge, but will be a lesser component of the health care system than they are today, there will be less of them,and they will lose their dominance as the focus of health care training, policy and activity.The four major factors driving these changes are science & technology, demography, the economy and the environment.The "chaos factor " will be society's response to moral questions such as the diffusion of genetic technology. By 2100 we will be spending twice as much on health care as we are today and there will be less doctors relative to other health care workers,continuations of well-established twentieth century trends.
Use of interpreter services in a metropolitan healthcare system
Authors: Heaney Clare , Moreham Sharon
Published: February 2010

The purpose of this study was to explore interpreter service utilisation in a Melbourne metropolitan healthcare system. 109 staff members working at the three campuses comprising this healthcare system completed questionnaires. Results reflected an under-usage of professional interpreters and an over-reliance on informal interpreters. A lack of knowledge about interpreter services was related to a lack of formal interpreter use and an increased use of informal interpreters. While the presence of an onsite interpreter coordination service at one of the campuses did not affect the level of familiarity or use of formal interpreters, it was related to a decreased use of informal interpreters. Further promotion and education regarding interpreter services is imperative to ensure that a safe, efficient and equitable service is being provided to all clients.
Self-reported health beliefs of government housing tenants
Authors: Clarke Valerie , Savage Sally , Hanna Barbara , Cox Helen
Published: February 2010

Our aim was to provide a description of the self-reported health beliefs of a sample of Victorian public housing tenants, and to identify how gender, age and geographic location relate to these beliefs. Telephone interviews were conducted with a stratified random sample of 360 tenants, asking questions such as what they believe are the major health problems for men and women, what they do to keep healthy, and what makes it difficult to keep healthy. There were many differences in the beliefs held by older participants compared with those of younger participants. By asking about health in general, rather than specific aspects of health, this research identified the views about health which are most salient to participants, rather than those prompted by a survey on a particular disease or health behaviour. The health promotion implications of these findings are discussed.
