Application of hydrophilic finished of synthetic fabrics coated with CMC/acrylic acid cured by electron beam irradiation in the removal of metal cations from aqueous solutions
Authors: Ibrahim Sayeda M.
Published: May 2010

Modified textile fabrics were used to remove Cu+2 and Cr+3 ions from aqueous solutions. For this purpose, modified Nylon‐6, polyester woven and knitted fabrics were prepared by coating the surface with a thin layer of aqueous solution of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and acrylic acid (AAc) of thickness 25 μm. Radiation crosslinking of the coated layer was carried out by electron beam irradiation with a constant dose of 30 kGy. Morphology of the coated fabrics was examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) which indicated the compatibility between the coated layer and fabrics. Properties attributed to the hydrophilicity, especially water uptake and weight loss before and after several washing cycles were followed up. The effect of AAc concentration on the hydrophilic properties of the coated fabrics was studied. A considerable enhancement in water uptake has been attained on increasing AAc content in solution in case of nylon‐6 followed by polyester woven followed by polyester knitted fabrics. The performances of the modified textile fabrics were evaluated for the recovery of Cu+2 and Cr+3 from aqueous solution. The metal ion absorption efficiency of the modified textile fabrics was measured using UV Spectrophotometer analysis and EDX. Parameters affecting the efficiency of these textile fabrics in the removal of metal ions from aqueous solution namely, concentration of AAc and the immersion time were studied. It was found that there was a marked increase in the recovery of metal ions on increasing both immersion time and concentration of AAc. This study evidences that the modified textile fabrics can be used for the purpose of removal of some heavy metals such as Cu and Cr. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010
Fisheries, large‐scale trade, and conservation of seahorses in Malaysia and Thailand
Authors: Perry Allison L. , Lunn Kristin E. , Vincent Amanda C. J.
Published: April 2010

All seahorse species (genus Hippocampus) are listed under CITES Appendix II, requiring that exports of these fishes must be regulated for sustainability. Preliminary trade surveys and anecdotal reports suggested Malaysia and Thailand represented an important source for seahorses used globally in traditional medicine, curios, and aquarium display, but few historic trade or fisheries data are available. Baseline information about pre‐CITES catch and trade is essential for managing seahorse fisheries and trade under CITES, and for understanding present‐day effects of CITES regulation on the seahorse trade.

In 1998–1999, seahorse fisheries and trade in both countries were assessed by interviewing participants at many levels of the trade and corroborating those surveys with official trade documents.

Seahorses were found to be landed primarily as trawl bycatch. Malaysia's catch of 2900 kg year−1 was less than the estimated domestic consumption (5500–6000 kg year−1), whereas Thailand's catch of 6600 kg year−1 apparently far exceeded domestic consumption (∼520 kg year−1).

Both countries imported seahorses from and exported to other Asian nations. Import statistics from Hong Kong SAR and Taiwan recorded maximum annual trade from Malaysia at 1280 kg year−1. Trade surveys indicated that Thailand exported at least 5000 kg annually (similar to the estimation of catch), but national Customs records reported 10 500 kg year−1 in exports, supported by official import records from Hong Kong SAR and Taiwan which indicated that Thailand was the source of up to 11 400 kg year−1.

Fishers and traders in both countries reported decreasing availability of seahorses, raising conservation concerns. These apparent declines, in combination with substantial domestic consumption, point towards the challenges that Malaysia and Thailand face in establishing sustainable levels of exports under CITES.

Effect of type of bait on pelagic longline fishery–loggerhead turtle interactions in the Gulf of Gabes (Tunisia)
Authors: Echwikhi Khaled , Jribi Imed , Bradai Mohamed Nejmeddine , Bouain Abderrahmen
Published: April 2010

Sea turtles may migrate vast distances from their feeding areas to home rookeries where they nest. During these migrations sea turtles are subject to many threats, among which are interactions with pelagic longlines.

This gear is used frequently in the summer period in the Gulf of Gabes targeting mainly the sandbar shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus). Hooks are baited with mackerel (Scomber scombrus) or pieces of stingray (Dasyatis pastinaca).

Twenty‐one fishing trips (48 sets with a total of 35 950 hooks deployed) were conducted using onboard observers in the south of the Gulf of Gabes during the months of July, August and September in 2007 and 2008. Stingray and mackerel bait were used in 19 and 29 sets, respectively.

In total, 29 loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) were captured; the majority of them were juvenile and active. Turtles were caught at a statistically greater frequency on sets with hooks baited with mackerel than on sets with hooks baited with pieces of stingray.

The type of bait also affected the catch of the target species by increasing the efficiency when pieces of stingrays were used.

These results encourage further research into new baits to mitigate turtle catch by longline fisheries without affecting the catch of target species. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Biomass removal by dolphins and fisheries in a Mediterranean Sea coastal area: do dolphins have an ecological impact on fisheries?
Authors: Bearzi Giovanni , Agazzi Stefano , Gonzalvo Joan , Bonizzoni Silvia , Costa Marina , Petroselli Annalise
Published: April 2010

Dolphins are often claimed to compete with fisheries, including through removal of substantial biomass. To calculate the biomass removed by fisheries and the degree of resource overlap with dolphins in a coastal area of Greece, estimates of dolphin abundance based on photographic capture–recapture were combined with an assessment of fishing effort and catch.

The estimated total biomass consumed annually by local dolphin populations – 15 short‐beaked common dolphins and 42 common bottlenose dolphins – was 15.5 and 89.8 tonnes, respectively. The total biomass removed by the local fishing fleet (307 fishing boats) was 3469.2 tonnes, i.e. about 33 times greater than that removed by dolphins.

Dolphins removed 2.9% of the total biomass, fisheries 97.1%. Nine purse seiners (representing only 3% of the active fishing fleet) were responsible for 31.9% of biomass removal. Similarity of biomass composition between dolphins and fisheries was expressed by a Pianka index of 0.46 for common dolphins and 0.66 for bottlenose dolphins.

Overlap differed according to fishing gear. Common dolphin overlap was higher with purse seiners (0.82), and lower with beach seiners (0.31), bottom trawlers (0.11) and trammel boats (0.06). There was virtually no overlap with longliners (0.02). Bottlenose dolphin overlap was higher with trammel boats (0.89) and bottom trawlers (0.75), and lower with longliners (0.38), purse seiners (0.24) and beach seiners (0.18). There was minimal overlap (0.12) between the two dolphin species.

This study suggests that ecological interactions between dolphins and fisheries in this coastal area have minor effects on fisheries. Conversely, prey depletion resulting from overfishing can negatively affect dolphins. Fisheries management measures consistent with national and EU legislation are proposed to ensure sustainability and to protect marine biodiversity. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Increased bone density and resistance to ovariectomy‐induced bone loss in FoxP3‐transgenic mice based on impaired osteoclast differentiation
Authors: Zaiss Mario M. , Sarter Kerstin , Hess Andreas , Engelke Klaus , Böhm Christina , Nimmerjahn Falk , Voll Reinhard , Schett Georg , David Jean‐Pierre
Published: April 2010

Objective

Immune activation triggers bone loss. Activated T cells are the cellular link between immune activation and bone destruction. The aim of this study was to determine whether immune regulatory mechanisms, such as naturally occurring Treg cells, also extend their protective effects to bone homeostasis in vivo.

Methods

Bone parameters in FoxP3‐transgenic (Tg) mice were compared with those in their wild‐type (WT) littermate controls. Ovariectomy was performed in FoxP3‐Tg mice as a model of postmenopausal osteoporosis, and the bone parameters were analyzed. The bones of RAG‐1–/– mice were analyzed following the adoptive transfer of isolated CD4+CD25+ T cells. CD4+CD25+ T cells and CD4+ T cells isolated from FoxP3‐Tg mice and WT mice were cocultured with monocytes to determine their ability to suppress osteoclastogenesis in vitro.

Results

FoxP3‐Tg mice developed higher bone mass and were protected from ovariectomy‐induced bone loss. The increase in bone mass was found to be the result of impaired osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption in vivo. Bone formation was not affected. Adoptive transfer of CD4+CD25+ T cells into T cell–deficient RAG‐1–/– mice also increased the bone mass, indicating that Treg cells directly affect bone homeostasis without the need to engage other T cell lineages.

Conclusion

These data demonstrate that Treg cells can control bone resorption in vivo and can preserve bone mass during physiologic and pathologic bone remodeling.
Keeping the vermin out: Perceived disease threat and ideological orientations as predictors of exclusionary immigration attitudes

Published: April 2010

Integrating evolutionary and social representations theories, the current study examines the relationship between perceived disease threat and exclusionary immigration attitudes in the context of a potential avian influenza pandemic. This large‐scale disease provides a realistic context for investigating the link between disease threat and immigration attitudes. The main aim of this cross‐sectional study (N = 412) was to explore mechanisms through which perceived chronic and contextual disease threats operate on immigration attitudes. Structural equation models show that the relationship between chronic disease threat (germ aversion) and exclusionary immigration attitudes (assimilationist immigration criteria, health‐based immigration criteria and desire to reduce the proportion of foreigners) was mediated by ideological and normative beliefs (social dominance orientation, belief in a dangerous world), but not by contextual disease threat (appraisal of avian influenza pandemic threat). Contextual disease threat only predicted support for health‐based immigration criteria. The conditions under which real‐life disease threats influence intergroup attitudes are scrutinized. Convergence and dissimilarity of evolutionary and social representational approaches in accounting for the link between disease threat and immigration attitudes are discussed.

Coronary artery bifurcation biomechanics and implications for interventional strategies
Authors: Moore James E. , Timmins Lucas H. , LaDisa John F.
Published: April 2010

The treatment of atherosclerotic plaques near and involving coronary bifurcations is especially challenging for interventional procedures. Optimization of these treatment strategies should begin with an understanding of how disease came to be localized to these regions, followed by careful design of the interventional tools and implanted devices. This manuscript reviews the basic biomechanics of coronary bifurcations, stented arteries, and the complex biomechanical challenges associated with bifurcation stenting. Flow patterns in bifurcations are inherently complex, including vortex formation and creation of zones of low and oscillating wall shear stress that coincide with early intimal thickening. Bifurcation geometry (in particular, the angle between the side branches), is of paramount importance in creating these proatherogenic conditions. This predilection for disease formation leads to a large number of bifurcation lesions presenting for clinical intervention. Therefore, several strategies have developed for treating these challenging lesions, including both dedicated devices and creative adaptation of single vessel lesion technologies. The biomechanical implications of these strategies are likely important in short and long term clinical outcomes. While the biomechanical environment in a stented coronary bifurcation is extremely challenging to model, computational methods have been deployed recently to better understand these implications. Enhancement of clinical success will be best achieved through the collaborative efforts of clinicians, biomechanicians, and device manufacturers. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Published: April 2010

Objectives: We aimed at comparing the long term clinical outcome of SES and PES in routine clinical practice. Background: Although sirolimus‐eluting stents (SES) more effectively reduce neointimal hyperplasia than paclitaxel‐eluting stents (PES), uncertainty prevails whether this difference translates into differences in clinical outcomes outside randomized controlled trials with selected patient populations and protocol‐mandated angiographic follow‐up. Methods: Nine hundred and four consecutive patients who underwent implantation of a drug‐eluting stent between May 2004 and February 2005: 467 patients with 646 lesions received SES, 437 patients with 600 lesions received PES. Clinical follow‐up was obtained at 2 years without intervening routine angiographic follow‐up. The primary endpoint was a composite of death, myocardial infarction (MI), or target vessel revascularization (TVR). Results: At 2 years, the primary endpoint was less frequent with SES (12.9%) than PES (17.6%, HR = 0.70, 95% CI 0.50–0.98, P = 0.04). The difference in favor of SES was largely driven by a lower rate of target lesion revascularisation (TLR; 4.1% vs. 6.9%, P = 0.05), whereas rates of death (6.4% vs. 7.6%, P = 0.49), MI (1.9% vs. 3.2%, P = 0.21), or definite stent thrombosis (0.6% vs. 1.4%, P = 0.27) were similar for both stent types. The benefit regarding reduced rates of TLR was significant in nondiabetic (3.6% vs. 7.1%, P = 0.04) but not in diabetic patients (5.6% vs. 6.1%, P = 0.80). Conclusions: SES more effectively reduced the need for repeat revascularization procedures than PES when used in routine clinical practice. The beneficial effect is maintained up to 2 years and may be less pronounced in diabetic patients. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
A radiofrequency transseptal needle: Initial animal studies
Authors: Crystal Matthew A. , Mirza Mahmood A. , Benson Lee N.
Published: April 2010

Objectives: The objective of this study was to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a new transseptal needle design with a radiofrequency (RF) tip combined with the ease of use of the needle configuration. Background: RF transseptal puncture to enter the left heart, with a RF wire‐catheter system is a successful technique in patients with complex access using a standard transseptal needle. Methods: The RF transseptal needle (NRG™ Transseptal Needle; Baylis Medical, Montreal, Canada) was designed for RF percutaneous transseptal access to the left heart. Eight pigs underwent transvenous cardiac catheterization with baseline intracardiac electrograms and right atrial pressure waveforms. Transseptal RF puncture was performed followed by left atrial pressure waveform monitoring. Results: An intracardiac electrogram was recorded in each animal while dragging the needle tip from the superior caval vein across the atrial septum and into the inferior caval vein. Contrast staining of the atrial septum was accomplished in all animals, with subsequent RF septal puncture. After 0.1 sec, impedance increased from 300 to 1,200 Ohms with the creation of a vapor layer, and voltage increased steadily to a threshold of 230 volts over the first 0.4 sec. This dielectric breakdown results in tissue vaporization and tissue perforation. The needle's location within the left atrium was confirmed by the pressure waveform and contrast injection. Repeated RF punctures with the NRG™ was compatible with various manufactures transseptal sheaths. Conclusion: RF puncture of the interatrial septum using the NRG™ Transseptal Needle facilitates an alternative effective technique to enter the left atrium. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Failure of the GORE HELEX atrial septal defect occluder to treat membranous VSDs in swine
Authors: Hagler Donald J. , Latson Larry A. , Goble Jake , Mathewson James W. , Cutright Warren
Published: April 2010

Objective: We tested the suitability of the GORE HELEX septal occluder for closure of membranous ventricular septal defect in three Yucatan minipigs that had naturally‐occurring membranous ventricular septal defects. Methods: The animals were studied in the Gore Science Center Laboratory in Flagstaff, Arizona. In all of the device implantations, seating of the right disk along the right ventricular septum was problematic with resultant entanglement of one device in the chordae tendinae during attempted removal, implantation of one device onto the tricuspid valve papillary muscle and unlocking of one device occurring after implantation. Conclusions: A new occluder design appears to be needed to minimize the risk of disk entanglement with cardiac structures, particularly within the right ventricle. These studies did establish that the Yucatan mini swine are an acceptable and appropriate model for evaluating occluders intended for closure of membranous ventricular septal defects. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Authors: Bangalore Sripal , Vlachos Helen A. , Selzer Faith , Wilensky Robert L. , Kip Kevin E. , Williams David O. , Faxon David P.
Published: May 2010

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of drug eluting stents (DES) when compared with bare metal stents (BMS) in patients with moderate to severe calcified coronary lesions. Background: Calcified coronary lesions present unique technical challenges during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and it is not known if DES are as safe and as effective in the presence of calcium, as randomized trials typically exclude this common patient subset. Methods: We evaluated patients with PCI of a single calcified lesion enrolled across five recruitment waves in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Dynamic Registry between 1997 and 2006. Patients were divided into two groups based on the stent type‐ BMS and DES. The primary efficacy outcome was the need for repeat revascularization at 1 year and the primary safety outcome was a composite of death and myocardial infarction at 1 year.
Results: Among the 1,537 patients included in the analysis, 884 (57%) underwent PCI with BMS and 653 (43%) with DES. DES use was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of repeat revascularization (10.0% vs. 15.3%; P = 0.003) with no significant higher risk of primary safety outcome (9.3% vs. 10.5%; P = 0.45) when compared to the BMS group. In a propensity score adjusted analysis, DES use was associated with a significantly lower risk in repeat revascularization (HR = 0.57; 95% CI 0.40–0.82; P = 0.002) and no significant difference in the risk of death and myocardial infarction (HR = 0.78; 95% CI 0.53–1.15; P = 0.20) compared to BMS group. Conclusion: In this large multicenter registry of patients with a moderate to severe calcified coronary lesion, use of DES compared to BMS was associated with significant reduction in the risk of repeat revascularization without any increase in death and myocardial infarction. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Hairpin‐trap: A novel stent retrieval technique
Authors: Brilakis Emmanouil S. , Abdel‐karim Abdul‐rahman R. , Banerjee Subhash
Published: May 2010

We report a novel technique for retrieving lost stents or other equipment from the intravascular space. A hairpin is formed at the distal part of a 0.014 inch coronary guidewire, inserted through the Touhy valve, and used to “hook” the lost stent. The distal tip of the wire is then pulled back into the guiding catheter, where it is trapped by a balloon, forming a “hairpin‐trap.” The entire system is subsequently withdrawn. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Adult stem cells in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction
Authors: Sharif Faisal , Bartunek Jozef , Vanderheyden Marc
Published: May 2010

Stem cell therapy has emerged as a novel therapeutic treatment alternative for early and end stage LV dysfunction. The rapid translation into clinical trials has left many questions unanswered. Moreover, results of randomized trials in the setting of acute myocardial infarction are controversial, emphasizing a need for further basic and translational research to improve understanding of cell functionality. This review attempts to summarize some of the functional issues related to cell therapy and also evaluate the current status of stem cell clinical trials. Although results to date have shown modest improvement in left ventricular function, the progress should follow a coordinated, multidisciplinary, and well designed path to address issues of cell homing, cell retention, and also look at outcomes beyond physiological parameters. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Origin of Stability in Branched Alkanes

Published: April 2010

The potential origins of stability in branched alkanes are investigated, paying close attention to two recent hypotheses: geminal steric repulsion and protobranching. All alkane isomers through C6H14 along with heptane and octane were investigated at the MPW1B95/6‐311++G(d,p) level. Their geminal steric repulsion, total steric repulsion, and orbital interactions were evaluated by using natural bond orbital analysis. All measures of steric repulsion fail to explain the stability of branched alkanes. The extra stability of branched alkanes and protobranching, in general, is tied to stabilizing geminal σ→σ* delocalization, particularly of the type that involves adjacent CC bonds and, thus, preferentially stabilizes branched alkanes. This picture is corroborated by valence bond calculations that attribute the effect to additional ionic structures (e.g., CH3+ :CH2 :CH3− and CH3:− CH2: CH3+ for propane) that are not possible without protobranching.
Cysteine‐Containing Polyisocyanides as Versatile Nanoplatforms for Chromophoric and Bioscaffolding

Published: April 2010

The straightforward syntheses of polyisocyanides containing the alanine–cysteine motif in their side chains have been achieved. Detailed characterization of the polymers revealed a well‐defined and highly stable helical conformation of the polyimine backbone responsible for the formation of rodlike structures of over one hundred nanometers. The 41 helix is further stabilized by β‐sheet‐like interactions between the peptide arms. As a result, the cysteine sulfur atoms are regularly aligned along the polymer axis, which provides a unique platform for the scaffolding of various entities by using versatile click‐chemistry postmodification approaches. For instance, pyrene derivatives were introduced through thio‐specific reactions involving either maleimide, iodoacetamide, or thioester groups, leading to arrays of stacked chromophores with excimer‐like emission. A water‐soluble cysteine‐rich polyisocyanide was successfully biotinylated and coupled to streptavidin.
Brønsted Acid Assisted Regio‐ and Enantioselective Direct O‐Nitroso Aldol Reaction Catalysed by α,α‐Diphenylprolinol Trimethylsilyl Ether
Authors: Mielgo Antonia , Velilla Irene , Gómez‐Bengoa Enrique , Palomo Claudio
Published: May 2010

In the presence of p‐nitrobenzoic acid, the O‐nitroso aldol reaction of nitrosobenzene with enolisable aldehydes may be promoted by commercially available α,α‐diphenylprolinol trimethylsilyl ether. The reaction proceeds with good yields and essentially complete enantioselectivity, with catalyst loadings in the 5–10 mol % range. The resulting α‐oxyaldehyde adducts may be transformed in situ into α‐oxyimines, which provide 1,2‐amino alcohols upon treatment with Grignard reagents, in good overall yield (45–59 %) and with typical diastereomeric ratios ≥95:5.
Amide Synthesis from Alcohols and Amines Catalyzed by Ruthenium N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes
Authors: Dam Johan Hygum , Osztrovszky Gyorgyi , Nordstrøm Lars Ulrik , Madsen Robert
Published: May 2010

The direct synthesis of amides from alcohols and amines is described with the simultaneous liberation of dihydrogen. The reaction does not require any stoichiometric additives or hydrogen acceptors and is catalyzed by ruthenium N‐heterocyclic carbene complexes. Three different catalyst systems are presented that all employ 1,3‐diisopropylimidazol‐2‐ylidene (IiPr) as the carbene ligand. In addition, potassium tert‐butoxide and a tricycloalkylphosphine are required for the amidation to proceed. In the first system, the active catalyst is generated in situ from [RuCl2(cod)] (cod=1,5‐cyclooctadiene), 1,3‐diisopropylimidazolium chloride, tricyclopentylphosphonium tetrafluoroborate, and base. The second system uses the complex [RuCl2(IiPr)(p‐cymene)] together with tricyclohexylphosphine and base, whereas the third system employs the Hoveyda–Grubbs 1st‐generation metathesis catalyst together with 1,3‐diisopropylimidazolium chloride and base. A range of different primary alcohols and amines have been coupled in the presence of the three catalyst systems to afford the corresponding amides in moderate to excellent yields. The best results are obtained with sterically unhindered alcohols and amines. The three catalyst systems do not show any significant differences in reactivity, which indicates that the same catalytically active species is operating. The reaction is believed to proceed by initial dehydrogenation of the primary alcohol to the aldehyde that stays coordinated to ruthenium and is not released into the reaction mixture. Addition of the amine forms the hemiaminal that undergoes dehydrogenation to the amide. A catalytic cycle is proposed with the {(IiPr)RuII} species as the catalytically active components.
