Ceux qui sont proches : les soigneurs au zoo
Authors: Estebanez Jean
Published: August 2010

Résumé Cet article propose d’analyser le rôle des soigneurs au zoo et la façon dont leur position éclaire les relations entre humains et animaux. Construit autour de terrains dans trois zoos français, il analyse le rôle de la distance dans la définition de ce qu’est être soigneur. La proximité semble leur conférer – dans leur discours ou dans le regard que porte sur eux le public – une connaissance vraie des animaux ; elle les expose également à un risque de blessure important. La distance enfin joue sur la définition même des acteurs en présence. Animaux et soigneurs se redéfinissent mutuellement par leur proximité.
Sauvage ou domestique, des catégories obsolètes ?
Authors: Micoud André
Published: August 2010

Résumé Alors que les mondes peuvent changer rapidement, les catégories qui servent à les décrire sont souvent beaucoup plus visqueuses. Les qualificatifs de sauvage ou domestique appliqués aux animaux sont devenus de plus en plus problématiques. Pour remplacer cette polarité héritée d’un monde rural largement disparu, l’auteur en propose une autre – à des fins heuristiques – qui les distinguerait selon qu’ils sont plutôt du côté vivant-matière ou plutôt du côté vivant-personne . Superposée à la précédente, parce que tout ne change pas en même temps, cette catégorisation permettrait de rendre de compte de façon plus complète des rapports que nous entretenons avec tous les êtres vivants.
A Comparison of Hospice in the United States and the United Kingdom
Authors: Remington Ruth , Wakim Grace
Published: August 2010

The modern hospice movement in the United States was modeled on the specialized care for dying individuals that was championed by Dame Cicely Saunders, a social worker, nurse, and physician, in London in the 1960s. A collaboration between Saunders and Florence Wald, then at Yale University, led to the establishment of the first hospice in the United States in 1974. Despite similar foundations, the provision of hospice care differs in the United States and the United Kingdom with regard to financing and access. This article reviews these similarities and differences and discusses implications for U.S. hospice policy.
Ways of Seeing: Using the Visual Arts in Nursing Education
Authors: Frei Judith , Alvarez Sarah E. , Alexander Michelle B.
Published: August 2010

Professional nursing defines its foundation of practice as embedded in the sciences and humanities of a liberal education. This liberal education is commonly alluded to with the phrase “the art and science of nursing.” Yet how do we as nursing educators integrate these two concepts? This article describes a method of integrating the humanities as part of an innovative clinical experience. A defined visual art experience was used to improve professional nursing students’ observational and communication skills, narrative sequencing abilities, and empathy. The nursing and medical literature describing the use of visual art encounters in health care education is reviewed. The incorporation of an art education program into the curriculum of a cohort of accelerated baccalaureate nursing students is described. Qualitative evaluation measures from the students suggest this was an experience that broadened their understanding of patient encounters.

Authors: Carruth Ann K. , Broussard Paula C. , Waldmeier Valarie P. , Gauthier Donna M. , Mixon Gina
Published: August 2010

Graduate nursing students beginning their graduate education often lack technological preparedness when beginning the journey in a virtual e-learning environment. These gaps in preparedness include lack of understanding course delivery, accessing resources remotely, participating in asynchronous course activities, and use of emerging health care technologies. This article describes an educational innovative online orientation course that simulates course activities so that students get a true perspective of what e-learning entails. With enhanced education through the accelerated learning modules, students became proficient with distance education, which promotes success in an online master’s of science in nursing program.

Different techniques have been used with varying success in third nerve palsy. Globe tethering technique is one treatment option. The authors describe a novel surgical technique in which permanent suture is used as a tethering agent associated with lateral rectus myectomy. Three patients underwent this technique. Horizontal alignment was satisfactory postoperatively.
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diagnostic Dilemma: Diffuse Infiltrating Retinoblastoma Versus Coats' Disease
Authors: Grabowska Anna , Calvo Jesús Peralta , Fernandez-Zubillaga Amelia , Rios Juan Carlos Saenz , Gómez José Abelairas
Published: August 2010

A 6-year-old boy presented with neovascular glaucoma secondary to total retinal detachment. Magnetic resonance imaging findings suggested diffuse infiltrating retinoblastoma. Enucleation was subsequently performed and led to a final histopathological diagnosis of advanced Coats' disease. Diffuse infiltrating retinoblastoma and advanced Coats' disease can be indistinguishable from each other on magnetic resonance imaging.
Primary Stromal Iris Cysts Treated Successfully With Ab Externo Laser Nd:YAG Photocoagulation
Authors: Gupta Arvind , Pandian Datta Gulnar , Babu K. Ramesh , Srinivasan Renuka
Published: August 2010

Two boys presented with primary solitary stromal iris cyst in the inferior quadrant. Both patients were treated with Nd:YAG laser puncturing the cyst wall. The cyst wall collapsed and fluid leaked out in the anterior chamber. No complication was noted. The cyst recurred in the first child at 2 months of follow-up and was retreated with laser. There was no further recurrence after 12 months of follow-up in case 1 or after 10 months of follow-up in case 2. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first documented report of Nd:YAG treatment of primary stromal cyst.
Inferior Rectus Aplasia Simulating Contralateral Monocular Elevation Deficiency
Authors: Kim Jae Min , Kim Jae Hyoung , Hwang Jeong-Min
Published: August 2010

Inferior rectus agenesis is usually not considered in the differential diagnosis of vertical strabismus because of its rare incidence. The authors examined an infant who presented with monocular elevation deficiency and was finally found to have contralateral inferior rectus agenesis by magnetic resonance imaging. Inferior rectus agenesis could manifest as contralateral elevation deficit. Careful extraocular motility examination and imaging study are essential for the diagnosis of inferior rectus aplasia.
Validity of the Postrotary Nystagmus Test for Measuring Vestibular Function
Authors: Mulligan Shelley
Published: August 2010

This study examined the validity of the Postrotary Nystagmus (PRN) test as a measure of vestibular functioning by examining the relations of scores from the PRN test with those from other variables measuring similar functions and through conducting a group comparison study. The PRN test is one of 17 tests included in the Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT). Using SIPT scores from 575 children, sensory motor performance among children with depressed, average duration, and prolonged nystagmus was compared. The results indicated that children with low-duration postrotary nystagmus scored more poorly than children with average or prolonged postrotary nystagmus on other SIPT tests measuring aspects of vestibular function. Statistically significant, although weak correlation, coefficients were also obtained, demonstrating low-duration postrotary nystagmus may be associated with sensory motor deficits. The results of this study contribute to evidence supporting the PRN test's validity as a measure of some aspects of vestibular functioning.
Comparison of 20- and 25-Gauge Vitrectomy for Primary Repair of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment
Authors: Kobayashi Satoshi , Sato Shimpei , Inoue Maiko , Yamane Shin , Watanabe Yoichiro , Arakawa Akira , Uchio Eiichi , Kadonosono Kazuaki
Published: August 2010

Background and Objective:

To evaluate the outcome of 25-gauge transconjunctival pars plana vitrectomy and compare it with that of 20-gauge pars plana vitrectomy for primary repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Patients and Methods:

A retrospective study of a consecutive series of 166 eyes of 164 patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was performed. One hundred nineteen eyes underwent 25-gauge vitrectomy and 47 eyes underwent 20-gauge vitrectomy.

Results:

The anatomic success rates after the initial surgery in the 25-gauge vitrectomy and 20-gauge vitrectomy groups were 93.3% and 91.5%, respectively. The median visual acuity improved significantly from 20/80 preoperatively to 20/30 postoperatively in the 25-gauge group, and from 20/90 to 20/30 in the 20-gauge group.

Conclusion:

Good anatomic and functional results were achieved with 25-gauge vitrectomy and the outcomes compared favorably with those of 20-gauge vitrectomy for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Ecosystem metabolism in a temporary Mediterranean marsh (Doñana National Park, SW Spain)
Authors: Geertz-Hansen O. , Montes C. , Duarte C. M. , Sand-Jensen K. , Marbá N. , Grillas P.
Published: August 2010

Abstract. The metabolic balance of the open waters supporting submerged macrophytes of the Doñana marsh (SW Spain) was investigated in spring, when community production is highest. The marsh community was net autotrophic with net community production rates averaging 0.61 g C m−2 d−1, and gross production rates exceeding community respiration rates by, on average, 43%. Net community production increased greatly with increasing irradiance, with the threshold irradiance for communities to become net autotrophic being 42 to 255 μE m−2 s−1, below which communities became net heterotrophic. Examination of the contributions of the benthic and the pelagic compartments showed the pelagic compartment to be strongly heterotrophic (average P/R ratio = 0.27), indicating that the metabolism of the pelagic compartment is strongly subsidised by excess organic carbon produced in the strongly autotrophic benthic compartment (average P/R = 1.58).
Militant Atheist Objects: Anti-Religion Museums in the Soviet Union
Authors: Paine Crispin
Published: August 2010

The 1920s and early '30s saw a complete reorganisation of museums in the Soviet Union. They had a new purpose: to help in the broad education of the masses, and in particular the promotion of a Marxist understanding of history, and support for the Five Year Plan. To effect this new mission museums adopted a completely new approach, involving quite new display techniques and an elaborate programme of outreach. This new museology made possible anti-religious museums, a Soviet invention that for the first time assembled religious artefacts and used them to attack both the institutions of religion and religion itself. These were real museums, in that they collected and displayed original objects to make their points. Indeed, they adopted a deliberate policy of sacrilege, using icons and the relics of saints to expose the tricks and crimes of the clergy, and to show how religion simply reflects the underlying economic and social conditions and serves the purposes of the ruling class.This preliminary study, based on English and French sources, will hopefully point the way to much more research in the countries of the former Soviet Union.
Looting Matters for Classical Antiquities: Contemporary Issues in Archaeological Ethics
Authors: Gill David W. J.
Published: August 2010

Forty years have passed since the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property. In spite of this there have been major scandals relating to the acquisition of recently-surfaced antiquities by public museums and private individuals. The Italian government has obtained the return of over 100 antiquities from North American collections and these have been displayed in a series of high profile exhibitions. Greece and Egypt have made successful claims on other material. Some dealers appear to be willing to handle material that surfaced along similar routes in spite of this increased awareness of the problem of looting, North American museums have now adjusted their acquisition policies to align them with the 1970 Convention.
The Current State of Archaeology in Palestine
Authors: Taha Hamdan
Published: August 2010

The Palestinian Department of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage (DACH) has been in existence now for more than fifteen years since its re-establishment in 1994. The inauguration of this Department was a momentous event. It may be considered the revival of the Department of Antiquities of Palestine, which was established in 1920 under the British Mandate. The authority was then terminated due to the political events of 1948 when Israel was established, while Jordan assumed those responsibilities for the West Bank and Egypt for the Gaza strip. This report provides a historical background on the archaeology of Palestine, an overview of its vision, inception, objectives, development and activities during this formative period. It gives an account of the archaeological field work, current projects carried out in the Palestinian areas, including the joint excavations, restoration projects and the state of preservation of archaeological and cultural heritage sites. This is an updated version of the article (A Decade of Archaeology in Palestine) published in 2005. تأسست دائرة الاثار والتراث الثقافي قبل خمس عشرة سنة، منذ تاريخ اعادة تأسيسها سنة 1994. وقد مثل انشاء هذه الادارة حدثا مهما، يمكن اعتباره اعادة بعث لدائرة الاثار الفلسطينية التي تأسست عام 1920 في عهد الانتداب البريطاني، والتي توقفت عن الوجود مع أحداث سنة 1948، حين اقيمت اسرائيل على الاراضي الفلسطينية واتبعت الضفة الغربية الى الاردن وغزة الى مصر. يقدم هذا العرض خلفية تاريخية حول اثار فلسطين، تشمل رؤيتها ومنطلقاتها وأهدافها وتطورها ونشاطاتها في فترة التكوين هذه. كما تقدم سجلا بالنشاط الاثري الميداني والمشاريع التي قامت بها في الاراضي الفلسطينية، بما في ذلك التنقيبات المشتركة ومشاريع الترميم وحالة الحفاظ على المواقع الاثرية. ان هذا التقرير هو تحديث لنسخة سابقة بعنوان (عقد من العمل الاثري في فلسطين)، نشر في العام 2005.
Repatriating Palestinian Patrimony: An Overview of Palestinian Preparations for Negotiations on Archaeology
Authors: Fahel Gabriel
Published: August 2010

This paper aims to shed some light on an often guarded and confidential subject matter: archaeology as it relates to permanent status negotiations between Israel and Palestine. During the Oslo negotiations, much of the discussion focused on political parameters while little discussion and preparation was done at the technical level. Since Oslo, the Palestinian side has formed a technical unit known as the Negotiations Support Unit (NSU) to assist the Palestinian leadership. There are several files that are continuously being prepared and advanced for the negotiations, one of which is the Archaeology file. تهدف هذه المقالة  إلى إلقاء بعض الضوء على مواضيع رسمية تتصف بالسرية في كثير من الأحيان, وعلم الآثار من حيث صلته بالمفاوضات الدئمة  بين اسرائيل وفلسطين. خلال مفاوضات أوسلو ، فإن الكثير من النقاشات ركزت على  الثوابت السياسية في حين كان النقاش والتحضير على الصعيد التقني قليل جداً. منذ أوسلو, شكل الجانب الفلسطيني وحدة تقنية تعرف باسم (وحدة دعم المفاوضات ) لمساعدة القيادات الفلسطينية , وهناك العديد من الملفات التي يتم اعدادها بشكل مستمر لتقديمها للمفاوضات ,ومن بينها ملف الاثار

Structural Violence as Political Experience in Palestine: An Archaeology of the Past in the Present
Authors: Starzmann Maria Theresia
Published: August 2010

While structural violence is indispensable to the functioning of Empire, its existence remains unacknowledged in mainstream political discourse. Perpetual checkpoints and insufficient infrastructure in Palestine are instances of violence that are integral to an ever-expanding Israeli state. This paper analyzes how archaeological narratives contribute to trauma and suffering in Palestine, and discusses alternative ways of doing an archaeology that is politically conscious by acknowledging co-responsibility for structural inequalities. Here it is critical that the practice of reflexively locating ourselves as researchers is taken beyond the epistemological level into the realm of political transformation: I propose a methodological shift in academic knowledge production that practices a politics of location and advocates alignment with oppressed peoples. Positing an ‘archaeology of the past in the present,’ I argue that this shift can be intellectually and politically meaningful only if it avoids analytical closure and recognizes how political struggle generates knowledge that can contribute to a just archaeological research agenda. في حين أن العنف الهيكلي امرٌ لا غنىً عنه في عمل الامبراطورية , فان وجوده لا يزال غير معترف به في خطاب التيار السياسي الرئيسي. نقاط التفتيش الدائمة والبنية التحتية الغير كافية في فلسطين هي حالات من العنف والذي هو جزء لا يتجزأ من الاستمرار بتوسع دولة اسرائيل المستمر. . هذه المقالة تحلل كيفية مساهمة ( الأثرية السرد) في الصدمة والمعاناة في فلسطين ، وتناقش السبل والطرق البديلة للعمل في علم الآثار والتي توجد الوعي السياسي من خلال الاعتراف بالمسؤولية المشتركة عن الاختلالات الهيكلية. من المهم هنا ان ممارستنا لعملية توظيف انفسنا كباحثين بالغريزة , اخذت تتجاوز المستوى المعرفي في عالم التحول السياسي : أقترح التحول المنهجي في انتاج المعرفة الأكاديمية التي تمارس السياسة من موقع التوافق مع المدافعين عن الشعوب المضطهدة . افتراض ان “ علم اثار الماضي ,بالحاضر” , أنا اعتقد ان هذا التحول يمكن ان يكون ذا معنى سياسي وفكري ,فقط اذا تجنب اغلاق التحليلات وأدرك كيف ان النضال السياسي يولد المعرفة التي يمكن ان تسهم في جدولة اعمال للبحوث الأثرية فقط.

Over the last decade many historians and political analysts have sought to highlight similarities between the American and Roman Empires. This paper presents an alternative to these equations by comparing the American and the Assyrian empire, based on my contention that they have structural similarities not shared by Rome. على مدى العقد الماضي, قام العديد من المؤرخين والمحللين السياسيين بتسليط الضوء على أوجه التشابه بين الامبراطوريات الرومانية والأمريكية. وتعرض هذه الورقة بديلا لهذه المعادلات من خلال مقارنة لأمريكا والإمبراطورية الآشورية ، على أساس اختلافي معهم بأن لديهم التشابه الهيكلي ,لا تشاركهم به روما.
The Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict: the Cultural Property Protection Officer as a Liaison Between the Military and the Civil Sector
Authors: Schipper Friedrich T , Eichberger Holger
Published: August 2010

This paper deals with the implementation of the Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict and its Protocols in armed forces focusing on the Austrian Armed Forces as a best-practice example thereof. It argues for: a. the importance of cultural property protection being an integral element of any military doctrine drafted by political authorities, of a special military directive for cultural property protection, and of cultural property protection being an element in all rules of engagement; b. for the concept of a Cultural Property Protection Officer or Liaison Officer: Military Cultural Property Protection as the professional military staff member responsible for ensuring cultural property protection is considered by their commanders in any situation in times of peace as well as during the conduct of missions; c. for also taking cultural property protection into account for multinational missions such as peace support operations, as well as for military disaster relief missions; d. for the cooperation of the military with non-governmental organizations for developing, implementing, and improving principles of military cultural property protection. تتناول هذه المقالة تنفيذ الاتفاقية المتعلقة بحماية الممتلكات الثقافية في حالة نشوب نزاع مسلح وبروتوكولاتها في القوات المسلحة مع التركيز على القوات المسلحة النمساوية مثالا لأفضل الممارسات منه. وتناقش: (أ) أهمية حماية الملكية الثقافية كجزء لا يتجزأ من أي عقيدة عسكرية وضعتها السلطات السياسية كتوجه عسكري خاص لحماية الممتلكات الثقافية ، وان حماية الممتلكات الثقافية هي عنصر في كل قواعد الاشتباك. (ب) لمفهوم موظف حماية الملكية الثقافية أو ضابط الاتصال : حماية الملكية الثقافية عسكريا كمجموعة عسكرية متخصصة و مسؤولة عن ضمان حماية الملكية الثقافية, يعينون من قبل قادتهم في أي حالة في أوقات السلم وكذلك أثناء سير البعثات.

Preparing for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict and Natural Disaster: Developing New Dimension Standards for Sheltering Moveable Objects
Authors: Eichberger Holger
Published: August 2010

This paper forms an outline of the author’s research project “Die Entwicklung eines Dimensionsstandards für einen Kulturgüterschutzraum im Krankenhauswesen” (“The development of a dimension standard for a shelter room of cultural property for hospitals”) at the Division of Health Sciences, programme for Information Technology and Engineering, at The Health and Life Sciences University Hall/Tyrol, Austria. For this version all aspects concerning hospital-specific issues have been removed. It is stated that precautions for the protection of cultural property in the event of armed conflict and natural disaster are a moral and (in most countries also) a legal obligation for every stakeholder of such property. Nevertheless, shelter rooms for movable cultural property in case of emergency are rare installations in general, mostly because of financial considerations. It is argued that by finding an optimal dimension standard for shelter rooms, the costs for such installations can be minimized. Suggestions for finding solutions are hereby proposed. تُشَكِل هذه المقالة الخطوط العريضة لمشروع بحث مقدم بعنوان (“وضع معايير بأبعاد جديدة لغرفة حماية الممتلكات الثقافية بالمستشفيات”) في شعبة العلوم الصحية ، وبرنامج تكنولوجيا المعلومات والهندسة ، في قاعة علوم الصحة والحياة, تيرول / ، النمسا النمسا. في هذا الإصدار, جميع الجوانب المتعلقة بقضايا المستشفيات الخاصة قد أزيلت, . ويذكر أن الاحتياطات المطلوبة لحماية الممتلكات الثقافية في حالة النزاع المسلح والكوارث الطبيعية هي احتياطات أخلاقية ، و(في معظم البلدان أيضا) التزام قانوني على كل أصحاب المصلحة لهذه الممتلكات. ومع ذلك ، فان غرف حماية الممتلكات الثقافية بالمنشآت في حالة الطوارئ نادرة بشكل عام ، وهذا بسبب الاعتبارات المالية غالباً. ويقال إن من خلال ايجاد الأبعاد والمعاييرالأمثل لغرف الحماية يمكن ان يقلل من تكاليف هذه المنشآت. وهناك اقتراحات لتقديم الحلول بما يتعلق بهذا المقترح.

Localizing the Global: A Framework for Discussing WAC’s Problems and Promise
Authors: Haber Alejandro F.
Published: August 2010

Whatever is said in general terms about ‘cultural heritage’, ‘social justice’ and ‘ethics’ is framed by the tension between global and local under the present phase of capitalism. Drawing from descriptions of this phase, given by different authors under the labels of post-fordism, post-coloniality, and empire, I discuss the present different roles of cultural heritage, social justice and global ethics. Finally, I will comment on the potential roles (‘problem’ and ‘promise’) for the World Archaeological Congress in the present historical context.
Expedient Trimethylaluminium‐Promoted One‐Pot Synthesis of Functional Heteroaromatic and Carbocyclic Trifluoroethylamines
Authors: Allendörfer Nadine , Sudau Alexander , Bräse Stefan
Published: August 2010

The synthesis of trifluoroethylamines as amide bond mimics is an interesting topic in current research. They are well known tools in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industry. Other methods described in literature are often restricted to few substrates. We herein report a new synthetic approach towards this class of substances. First, the trimethylaluminium‐promoted generation of a trifluoromethyl‐ketimine from the corresponding trifluoromethyl ketone and an aniline derivative was investigated. Next, the ketimine was converted into the trifluoroethylamines in a one‐pot reaction by simple addition of borane‐methyl sulfide complex.
Lewis Basic Ionic Liquids‐Catalyzed Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to Cyclic Carbonates
Authors: Yang Zhen‐Zhen , He Liang‐Nian , Miao Cheng‐Xia , Chanfreau Sébastien
Published: August 2010

A series of easily prepared Lewis basic ionic liquids were developed for cyclic carbonate synthesis from epoxide and carbon dioxide at low pressure without utilization of any organic solvents or additives. Notably, quantitative yields together with excellent selectivity were attained when 1,8‐diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐enium chloride ([HDBU]Cl) was used as a catalyst. Furthermore, the catalyst could be recycled over five times without appreciable loss of catalytic activity. The effects of the catalyst structure and various reaction parameters on the catalytic performance were investigated in detail. This protocol was found to be applicable to a variety of epoxides producing the corresponding cyclic carbonates in high yields and selectivity. Therefore, this solvent‐free process thus represents an environmentally friendly example for the catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide into value‐added chemicals by employing Lewis basic ionic liquids as catalyst. A possible catalytic cycle for the hydrogen bond‐assisted ring‐opening of epoxide and activation of carbon dioxide induced by the nucleophilic tertiary nitrogen of the ionic liquid was also proposed.
New Synthesis of Aryl and Heteroaryl N‐Acylureas via Microwave‐Assisted Palladium‐Catalysed Carbonylation
Authors: Liptrot David , Alcaraz Lilian , Roberts Bryan
Published: August 2010

A new, practical synthesis of aryl and heteroaryl N‐acylureas has been developed via palladium‐catalysed carbonylation of aryl or heteroaryl halides in the presence of urea nucleophiles. A range of reactions illustrating the wide scope of this reaction was carried out under microwave irradiation, using either carbon monoxide gas in a vessel equipped with a gas inlet adapter, or molybdenum hexacarbonyl as the carbon monoxide source in standard microwave vials. The reactions proceeded in good to excellent yields. To illustrate the usefulness of this method a one‐step synthesis of the important insecticide diflubenzuron is reported.
Sunflower trypsin inhibitor‐1, proteolytic studies on a trypsin inhibitor peptide and its analogs
Authors: Colgrave Michelle L. , Korsinczky Michael J. L. , Clark Richard J. , Foley Fiona , Craik David J.
Published: August 2010

Sunflower trypsin inhibitor‐1 (SFTI‐1) is a 14 amino acid cyclic peptide from sunflower seeds, which possesses exceptionally potent trypsin‐inhibitory activity, and has promise as a stable peptide‐based drug template. Within its compact structure, SFTI‐1 combines a head‐to‐tail cyclized backbone and a disulfide bond. In this study, we synthesized a range of acyclic and disulfide‐deficient analogs of SFTI‐1 to investigate enzyme‐assisted cyclization of the peptide backbone and proteolytic degradation that occurs as a result of incubation with trypsin. Electrospray and matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry allowed the characterization of a range of novel degradation products and elucidation of the time‐course for cyclization and/or proteolysis. Trypsin displayed the ability to resynthesize the scissile bond(s) and hence cyclize two of the linear permutants, whereas irreversible degradation was observed for another two permutants. An interesting ring contraction mediated by trypsin was observed, supporting a role for protease catalyzed splicing as a way of increasing the combinatorial diversity of cyclic peptides in nature. Disulfide‐deficient mutants were degraded within minutes, emphasizing the critical role of the cysteine bridge in maintaining proteolytic stability of SFTI‐1. Overall, the study provides additional support for the proposal that naturally occurring cyclic peptides like SFTI‐1 are biosynthesized by proteolytic enzymes effectively catalyzing the reverse of their normal reaction to make, rather than break peptide bonds. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Outcome of protracted hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy
Authors: Sitges-Serra A , Ruiz S , Girvent M , Manjón H , Dueñas J P , Sancho J J
Published: August 2010

Background

Although the variables that influence the development of post-thyroidectomy hypocalcaemia are now better understood, the risk factors and long-term outcome of persistent hypoparathyroidism (HPP) are poorly defined. A retrospective review of a prospective protocol for the management of post-thyroidectomy hypocalcaemia was performed.

Methods

Patients with a serum calcium level below 8 mg/dl (2 mmol/l) 24 h after total thyroidectomy were prescribed oral calcium with or without calcitriol and followed for at least 1 year. Protracted HPP was defined as an intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level below 13 pg/ml and need for calcium medication at 1 month after thyroidectomy.

Results

Of 442 patients (343 with goitre, 99 with carcinoma) undergoing total thyroidectomy, 222 (50·2 per cent) developed postoperative hypocalcaemia. Eleven patients were lost to follow-up. Parathyroid function recovered in 131 patients within 1 month and 80 developed protracted HPP, which was associated with lymphadenectomy, fewer than three glands left in situ and incidental parathyroidectomy. Parathyroid function recovered within 1 year in 78 per cent of patients with protracted HPP. Factors associated with late recovery of parathyroid function were higher serum calcium and low but detectable iPTH levels 1 month after surgery. These factors were associated with higher calcitriol and calcium dosages at hospital discharge. Parathyroid autotransplantation did not protect against permanent HPP.

Conclusion

Higher serum calcium levels at 1 month after total thyroidectomy are associated with recovery of parathyroid function. It is hypothesized that intensive medical treatment of hypocalcaemia—‘parathyroid splinting’—may improve the outcome of patients with protracted HPP.
Silica‐Immobilized Highly Dispersed Oxo–Rhenium and its Catalytic Activity for the Direct Synthesis of Nitrones
Authors: Singh Bhawan , Jain Suman L. , Rana Bharat S. , Khatri Praveen K. , Sinha Anil K. , Sain Bir
Published: August 2010

A novel covalently attached silica‐immobilized oxo–rhenium catalyst was prepared by the reaction of perrhenic acid and 3‐chloropropyl functionalized mesoporous SBA‐15, in which the oxo–rhenium species is chemically bonded to the support, preventing leaching. The prepared silica‐immobilized oxo–rhenium was found to be an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the one‐pot condensation/oxidation of aldehydes and primary amines to nitrones in high yields using urea–hydrogen peroxide as a terminal oxidant under mild reaction conditions.
