Мучные кондитерские изделия со сроком годности 1 месяц и более являются самым востребованным видом сладкого у потребителя. Пряники являются вторым по популярности видом в этой группе изделий – 16% в структуре потребления по данным Росстата РФ. Срок годности сырцовых пряников с начинкой зависит от скорости их микробиологической порчи, обусловленной интенсивностью и направлением процессов влагопереноса. При высокой скорости миграции влаги пряники быстро черствеют, а низкая скорость процессов влагопереноса повышает риск плесневения. Провели исследования динамики изменения массовой доли влаги и активности воды в различных частях сырцовых пряников с начинкой – в выпеченном полуфабрикате и в начинке в процессе хранения в течение 3,5 месяцев. Оценили влияние модифицированных крахмалов трех видов: этерифицированные фосфатными группами (Е 1412), ацетильными группами (Е 1422) и с комбинацией фосфатных и гидроксипропильных групп (E 1442) на влагоудерживающие свойства в начинках. Потери влаги в начинке, изготовленной с крахмалом, этерифицированном комбинацией фосфатных и гидроксипропильных групп значительно меньше – в 2–2,5 раза, чем при использовании крахмалов, этерифицированных фосфатными или ацетильными группами. Рассчитали скорость процесса влагопереноса для изделий, изготовленных с использованием различных видов крахмала, по коэффициенту диффузии. Выявлено, что скорость влагопереноса минимальна для крахмала E 1442, о чем свидетельствует наименьший коэффициент диффузии – 1,097. Предложена схема прогнозирования сохранности сырцовых пряников с фруктовой начинкой на основе результатов исследования процессов влагопереноса и характеристик влагоудерживающих добавок (модифицированный крахмал). Схема процесса представлена в виде совокупности подсистем с указанием параметров и факторов, оказывающих влияние на скорость влагопереноса. Полученные результаты позволяют прогнозировать риски плесневения сырцовых пряников с фруктовой начинкой в процессе их хранения.

Published: January 2020

The diagnosis of ovarian tumor in pediatrics is often difficult and delayed due to unspecific call signs and polymorphic imaging presentations. These tumors are rare, estimated in children at around 2.6 / 100,000 girls per year, functional lesions being excluded. Ten to 20% of them are malignant [1-2] and represent 3% of cancers in girls under the age of 15 [3]. The World Health Organization classifies these tumors into three main groups based on whether they are derived from the surface epithelium, germline cells or ovarian stroma or sex cords. Primary or secondary locations are possible in leukemias and lymphomas [4-5]. Giant ovarian cystadenocarcinomas are rarely described. The huge ovarian masses are mostly benign, but the malignancy should be ruled out by pathology exams. Giant cysts require resection by laparotomy because of compression symptoms or the risk of malignancy, but also to prevent perforation and spillage of cystic fluid into the peritoneal cavity [6]. Here we report an observation made in a 14-year-old girl who was diagnosed with a large ovarian tumor and who was found to be a malignant tumor on pathology with papillary-type mucinous cystadenocarcinoma.

Published: January 2020

The synthesis of 4,5-diiodo-1,3-dimesityl-1,2,3-triazolium salts with different anions have been developed. These triazolium salts show diverse aggregation via halogen bonding between C–I bonds and anions. Triazolium with halide anions exists as a tetramer with saddle conformation. Triazolium tetrafluoroborate exists as a trimer with Chinese lantern shape conformation. Triazolium trifluoroacetate and acetate exist as dimers, respectively, while the former shows boat conformation and the latter forms rectangle conformation. Triazolium salts form a linear polymer with polyiodide.
Gravitational Lensing Signatures of Axion Dark Matter Minihalos in Highly Magnified Stars
Authors: Dai Liang , Miralda-Escudé Jordi
Published: January 2020

Axions are a viable candidate for cold dark matter, which should generically form minihalos of subplanetary masses from white-noise isocurvature density fluctuations if the Peccei–Quinn phase transition occurs after inflation. Despite being denser than the larger halos formed out of adiabatic fluctuations from inflation, axion minihalos have surface densities much smaller than the critical value required for gravitational lensing to produce multiple images or high magnification, and hence are practically undetectable as lenses in isolation. However, their lensing effect can be enhanced when superposed near critical curves of other lenses. We propose a method to detect them through photometric monitoring of recently discovered caustic transiting stars behind cluster lenses, under extreme magnification factors μ ≳ 103–104 as the lensed stars cross microlensing caustics induced by intracluster stars. For masses of the first gravitationally collapsed minihalos in the range ∼10−15–10−8
h
−1
M
⊙, we show that axion minihalos in galaxy clusters should collectively produce subtle surface density fluctuations of amplitude ∼10−4–10−3 on projected length scales of ∼10–104 au, which imprint irregularities on the microlensing lightcurves of caustic transiting stars. We estimate that, inside a cluster halo and over the age of the universe, most of these minihalos are likely to avoid dynamic disruption by encounters with stars or other minihalos.
Identifying Multiple Populations in M71 Using CN
Authors: Gerber Jeffrey M. , Friel Eileen D. , Vesperini Enrico
Published: January 2020

We have observed the CN features at ∼3800 and 4120 Å as well as the CH band at ∼4300 Å for 145 evolved stars in the Galactic globular cluster M71 using the multi-object spectrograph, Hydra, on the Wisconsin-Indiana-Yale-NOAO-3.5 m telescope. We use these measurements to create two δCN indices finding that both distributions are best fit by two populations: a CN-enhanced and CN-normal. We find that 42% ± 4% of the red giant branch stars in our sample are CN-enhanced. The percentage of CN-enhanced is 40% ± 13% for the asymptotic giant branch and 33% ± 9% for the horizontal-branch stars (HB stars), which suggests there are no missing second generation stars at these stages of stellar evolution. The two generations also separate in magnitude and color on the HB, which allows us to find the difference in He abundance between the two populations by fitting appropriate zero-age horizontal branches. The broad range of distances from the cluster’s center covered by our sample allows us to study the dependence of the ratio of the number of first to second population stars on the distance from the cluster’s center, and we find that this ratio does not vary radially and that the two populations are spatially mixed. Finally, we compare our identification of multiple populations with the classification based on the Na–O anti-correlation and the Hubble Space Telescope UV photometry, and we find good agreement with both methods.
The Nucleus of Interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov

Published: January 2020

We present high-resolution imaging observations of interstellar comet 2I/Borisov (formerly C/2019 Q4) obtained using the Hubble Space Telescope. Scattering from the comet is dominated by a coma of large particles (characteristic size ∼0.1 mm) ejected anisotropically. Convolution modeling of the coma surface brightness profile sets a robust limit to the spherical-equivalent nucleus radius r

n
 ≤ 0.5 km (geometric albedo 0.04 assumed). We obtain an independent constraint based on the nongravitational acceleration of the nucleus, finding r

n
 > 0.2 km (nucleus density ρ = 500 kg m−3 assumed). The profile and the nongravitational constraints cannot be simultaneously satisfied if ρ ≤ 25 kg m−3; the nucleus of comet Borisov cannot be a low-density fractal assemblage of the type proposed elsewhere for the nucleus of 1I/’Oumuamua. We show that the spin-up timescale to outgassing torques, even at the measured low production rates, is comparable to or shorter than the residence time in the Sun’s water sublimation zone. The spin angular momentum of the nucleus should be changed significantly during the current solar flyby. Lastly, we find that the differential interstellar size distribution in the 0.5 mm to 100 m size range can be represented by power laws with indices <4 and that interstellar bodies of 100 m size scale strike Earth every one to two hundred million years.

Published: January 2020

Tenodesis is used to treat pathology of the long head of the biceps tendon. The authors evaluated the biomechanical properties of 6 techniques for biceps tenodesis fixation. The authors dissected 42 fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders (mean age, 71±9.8 years; 69% male specimens), leaving the proximal humerus, proximal biceps tendon, and pectoralis major insertion. Specimens were randomized to undergo biceps tenodesis with one of the following: (1) an interference screw; (2) a cortical button; (3) a double-loaded 2.9-mm polyetheretherketone anchor (DL-2.9); (4) a double-loaded 1.9-mm all-suture anchor (DL-1.9); (5) a single-loaded 1.7-mm all-suture anchor (SL-1.7); or (6) soft tissue tenodesis. Specimens then underwent load-to-failure axial traction testing. A generalized linear and latent mixed model with a random-effects term was used to account for specimen pairing. Mean failure loads ranged from 136 N (95% confidence interval, 103–169 N) in the cortical button group to 79 N (95% confidence interval, 58–99 N) in the interference screw group. Failure occurred most often when fixation sutures pulled out of the tendon; however, 7 specimens failed elsewhere. No significant differences in ultimate failure load were found by treatment group. The interference screw group showed significantly more weakness than the cortical button and DL-2.9 groups. Tendon quality and suture parameters are likely more important than the fixation technique in determining failure load. [

VEP Acuity, FPL Acuity, and Visual Behavior of Visually Impaired Children
Authors: Bane Mark C , Birch Eileen E
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT

Forced-choice preferential-looking (FPL) and patternvisual-evoked potential (VEP) acuity tests were conducted with 42 children with bilateral moderate to severe visual impairment (age, 4 months to 9 years). Within this group of children, FPL acuity testing was more successful than VEP acuity testing (98% versus 64%). Mean FPL acuity was better than mean VEP acuity (20/155 vs 20/290, P < .002). For the children who completed both FPL and VEP acuity tests, an acuity difference score (FPL minus VEP) was derived, and compared to difference scores based on normative data. Significant differences were found between visually impaired (Vl) and control difference scores (P < .001). Difference scores of Vl were larger than and opposite in sign to the control scores. Rating scores of visual behaviors supported the concurrent validity of the FPL acuities (P = .01 ), but not the VEP acuities.

Sheath blight, caused by the fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA is one of the most important rice diseases worldwide. The objetives of this study was to determine the predominant reproductive system and the genetic structure of 18 rice-infecting populations of R. solani sampled from China, Japan and the Philippines, the most important rice production countries in Asia. Knowledge about the population genetic structure of the pathogen in Asia is useful in identifying sources of infection and formulating sustainable management strategies for rice sheath blight. From a total of 717 isolates, 423 unique multilocus genotypes were detected based on nine microsatellite loci. The three country populations of R. solani AG-1 IA exhibited a mixed reproductive system, which included both sexual and asexual components. A moderate degree of clonality indicated that the asexual sclerotia represent important source of inoculum. Population subdivision varied within and among countries, fitting the isolation by distance model. While no subdivision was found among populations within Japan or within the Philippines, subdivision was detected among populations within China. Historic migration indicated high influx of immigrants from Japan into Northern, Central and Eastern China populations. Southern China contributed a high number of immigrants to the populations from the Philippines.

Published: January 2020

The objective of this work was to determine the adequate nitrogen (N) dose via fertigation associated with the maximum economic production of maize for silage, in two agricultural crops (summer and winter), in the municipality of Canindé de São Francisco-SE, Brazil. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with four replicates. The treatments consisted of four doses of N (0, 80, 160, and 240 kg ha-1) using urea. The cultivar planted was the hybrid Bt Feroz. The evaluated characteristics were as follows: shoot fresh and dry mass productivity, gross and net incomes, the rate of return and net profit margin. There was an interaction between N doses and agricultural crops for all variables. Higher agroeconomic efficiency in the production of maize for silage was obtained from the winter harvest. In the summer crop, the rate of return (1.82) and the net profit margin (45.52%) were highest when the plants were fertigated with 56.04 and 58.92 kg ha-1 of N, respectively. In winter, the yields of fresh mass, gross and net incomes increased linearly with increasing doses of N, with a profit proportional to the invested capital since nitrogen fertigation did not influence the rate of return (2.24) and the net profit margin (55.22%).

Published: January 2020

The palm tree juçara (Euterpe edulis Mart) is considered one of the most important and threatened native species in the Atlantic Forest. The search for juçara seeds (Euterpe edulis Martius) has increased, generating a need for technologies favorable to their production, quality and conservation. The aim of this study was to describe the seed germination patterns of 45 juçara accessions by using a nonlinear model to examine the behavior of these patterns and select superior genotypes. After clustering 45 juçara accessions into four groups, four nonlinear models, namely, the logistic, Gompertz, von Bertalanffy and Weibull models, were tested based on their fit for each group of accessions. The Gompertz model presented the best fit to describe the germination growth curve of E. edulis seeds. Groups 3 and 4 presented the highest daily germination rates and were considered the most vigorous. Analysis of deviance was performed, revealing genetic variability among the genotypes in terms of seed germination and vigor. It was possible to find a nonlinear model that best explained our data, and this model may also be a promising model for other palm tree species. It is possible to select genotypes based on the characters we analyzed, due to the elevated genetic variability.

Published: January 2020

The use of empirical agrometeorological models that can be adjusted to the climatic conditions of different regions has become increasingly necessary to improve water management in grain-producing municipalities. The aim of this work is to examine the correlation between various reference evapotranspiration (ETo) estimation methods and the standard FAO 56 Penman-Monteith method, as well as to determine correction factors, when necessary, for crop-producing municipalities in the northeast of Pará, during both the rainy and dry seasons. We compared simpler methods of ETo estimation to the FAO 56 Penman-Monteith method. For this purpose, meteorological data from Tracuateua, Bragança, Capitão Poço and Castanhal, provided by the National Institute of Meteorology (INMET), were used. The calibration of equations was performed through linear regression. The accuracy of different estimation methods was examined. The Turc, FAO 24 Blaney-Criddle and regression methods presented the best results for all statistical criteria; the Priestley-Taylor, Makkink and FAO 24 Radiation methods presented excellent results after calibration. The methods of Camargo and Hargreaves-Samani produced the worst results for all the criteria.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of four types of diets containing different forms of selenium on the hematological blood parameters, reproduction and health of dairy cattle during the transition period. Twenty-four close-up dry cows with a mean of 259 ± 1days of pregnancy and expected 21 ± 1days prior to parturition were selected. The cows were fed four diets: 1) basal diet without selenium supplementation (C); 2) basal diet plus 0.5ppm selenium in the form of sodium selenite (Se-S) 3) basal diet plus 0.5ppm selenium in the form of selenium yeast (Se-Y); 4) basal diet plus 0.5ppm selenium in the form of selenomethionine (Se-M). Blood samples for measuring hematological blood parameters (including lymphocyte, red blood cells, hemoglobin, and hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC and RDWc) were taken at 21 and 10 days before delivery, delivery date, 10 and 21 days after delivery. There was no significant difference in hematological parameters before and after delivery in experimental and control groups. However, in the prepartum period, MCH tended to increase significantly in selenium methionine treatment (p<0.05). Reproductive parameters (including distance to first estrus, insemination indexes and number of open days) and health parameters (including rectum temperature and vaginal content score) have been improved by selenium organic supplements. The results of this experiment showed that feeding organic selenium supplementation in multiparous dairy cow’s diet may improve their health and reproduction.

Published: January 2020

The experiment was carried out to evaluate the productive performance of European quails (Coturnix coturnix) in the production phase, fed with diets containing different levels of digestible lysine. A total of 175 female quails, aged 65 days, were randomly distributed in a completely randomized design with five treatments and five replicates per treatment. The animals were housed in 25 metal cages, and each cage represented an experimental parcel, with seven birds per parcel. The birds were fed the experimental rations containing 1.177, 1.217, 1.317, 1.417, and 1.517% digestible lysine. The parameters evaluated were: laying rate, mass of eggs produced, feed intake in the period, lysine intake, feed conversion per dozen and per mass. Significant differences were observed for posture rate with quadratic behavior, which indicated higher production for the level of 1.23% of digestible lysine. There was an increasing linear behavior for the feed and lysine intake, and for conversion feed per dozen and by mass, we observed quadratic behaviors. This indicates better feed conversion index when the optimal inclusion level was 1.33% and 1.404% of digestible lysine in the diet, respectively. The requirement of digestible lysine in diets for European quails is 1.404%, which corresponds to a daily intake of 421.20 milligrams of digestible lysine.

Published: January 2020

The aim of this study was to determine polymorphism of LCORL gene in horse breeds and its association with body size. PCR-RFLP technique was performed using AluI for genotyping of 306 horses. Results showed that C is the rare allele in Iranian Breeds, because these horses have been used since ancient times as a courier and for war and archery, hence selection has done to benefit of spiky horses with medium body that need less food and are tireless. While, for foreign breeds; frequency of C allele was high that can be concluded these breeds used in fields, forests, and mines. A UPGMA dendrogram based on the Nei's standard genetic distance among studied breeds showed separate clusters for Iranian native and exotic breeds. Statistical association analysis of three observed genotypes with body size showed that there is an association between this polymorphism and body size criteria (p < 0.01). Overall, it can be concluded that studied mutation in LCORL gene can be used as candidate marker for improving body weight in horse.

Published: January 2020

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of alpha-amylase supplementation on performance and carcass and cuts yield in broilers during finishing phase (21 to 42 days). A completely randomized experimental design with six treatments and eight replications was used: Positive Control (PC): no enzyme; Negative control (NC): without enzyme formulated with 6.34% less energy (- 6.34% ME); NC1: with 250 g ton-1 of alpha-amylase; NC2: with 500 g ton-1 of alpha-amylase; NC3: with 750 g ton-1 of alpha-amylase; NC4: with 1000 g ton-1 of alpha-amylase. Significant differences in weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion were reported with the inclusion of alpha-amylase. The NC treatment with inclusion of amylase provided improvement values of weight gain, feed conversion and feed intake, but do not was similarly in comparison to those obtained in broilers fed a diet that completely met the requirements during this phase. There was no dietary influence on carcass parameters. The use of alpha-amylase was effective in improving performance in broilers fed a diet of 200 kcal kg-1 of reduced metabolizable energy.

Com o objetivo de compreender como a criança lê o livro literário infantil, foram entrevistados alunos do 4º ano do Ensino Fundamental (Caxias do Sul-RS). A entrevista pautou-se em 3 livros, categorias imagem, prosa e verso, previstas no Edital do Programa Nacional Biblioteca da Escola – PNBE (2014). O roteiro da conversa foi construído a partir de Bauer e Gaskell (2002) e a interação com os estudantes ocorreu em dois momentos, um destinado a responder perguntas gerais sobre leitura e outro, específico, focalizando a leitura de cada um dos títulos lidos. A análise dos dados foi realizada com parâmetros construídos a partir de Ramos e Panozzo (2004) e Ramos (2010). Este estudo qualitativo é, predominantemente, descritivo-analítico e aponta que o leitor infantil constrói sentidos por meio de suas vivências, interagindo com diferentes modalidades discursivas. Sinaliza ainda que os vazios inerentes à estrutura textual limitam a concretização da poesia, sugerindo que o Programa Nacional Biblioteca da Escola - PNBE, além de fornecer livros literários, deveria contemplar ações mediadoras para que a leitura literária se efetive.

Published: January 2020

The new urban order in the territorialization of cities, in general, is based on the principles of an ever more fragmented and dispersed growth across the territory. However, the growth of the urban area of Maringá diverges from this new order, retaining its compact form. In this study, the urban area of Maringá is composed of the cities of Maringá, Sarandi and Paiçandu in the State of Paraná, Brazil. The objectives of this article are to define the urban form of Maringá considering the variables compact city, fragmented city and disperse city and to identify the periods of urban expansion for each variable. The timeline of this study begins with the implantation of the cities in the 1940s and continues until the year 2016, since the urban area been mapped in a decennial diachronic series. Originally compact, the urban area fragments as it expands, in a movement that continues until the 2000s. After that, the occupation of its center predominates, making it compact again. Given these points, the beginning of a new cycle or new model of urban expansion is evident for Maringá.

Published: January 2020

The fruits belonging to the family Myrtaceae are known sources of compounds with functional characteristics. Nevertheless, the studies are focused only on some species of this family. In this sense, we aimed to quantify the bioactive compounds present in the pulps of cambuci, feijoa, uvaia and grumixama; to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant capacity of each one and to correlate the contribution of these bioactive compounds with the antioxidant activity of each fruit pulp. For this, the compounds ascorbic acid, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and flavonoids were quantified for the pulps of cambuci, feijoa, uvaia, and grumixama, as well as the in vitro antioxidant capacity by the methods DPPH and ABTS. The results were evaluated by multivariate statistical techniques. The pulps present good antioxidant potential, the one from cambuci presented the highest values for antioxidant activity given by the method DPPH (61.86 µg of Trolox g-1), that from uvaia was prominent by the presence of ascorbic acid (85.40 ascorbic acid 100 g-1) and that from feijoa, by the flavonoid contents (62.45 mg quercetin g-1) and phenolic compounds (10.21 mg gallic acid equivalent g–1). A correlation was observed between pulp antioxidant capacity and the contents of ascorbic acid and carotenoids; on the other hand, the phenolic compounds and flavonoids little contributed for the anti-free radical activity of the methods DPPH and ABTS.

This study evaluated the toxicity of food flavorings of mint, cinnamon and lemon in meristem root cells of Allium cepa, in pure form (as marketed) and in the concentrations of 12.5, 25, and 50%, after 24 and 48 hours of exposure; in Vero cell culture evaluated by MTT test and in nauplii of Artemia salina, both tests used flavorings in pure form and in the concentrations of 0.78, 1.56, 3.12, 6.25, 12.5, 25, and 50%, after 24 hours of exposure. The three flavorings, in all treatments and times of analysis considered, caused significant inhibition of cell division. However, the flavorings did not cause cellular alterations to the evaluated meristems. All evaluated treatments significantly reduced the viability of the evaluated cell line and promoted 100% lethality of A. salina nauplii. The evaluated flavorings, under the established study conditions, promoted wide and significant toxicity.

Whey protein has high biological value and functional properties. Therefore, it is necessary to develop methods to recover this valuable protein and minimize the environmental impacts. Adsorptive processes using alternative adsorbents from agroindustrial waste increase the number of alternatives for adequate final disposal of the waste and add value. The aim of this study was to develop a mesoporous activated carbon (AC) from defective coffee beans (DCB) for the adsorption of fresh whey protein. The morphological structure of the adsorbent produced was characterized, and both Raman spectroscopy, FTIR and thermal analyses were performed; and the effect of pH on the adsorption capacity (q, mg g-1) was evaluated. The characterization showed that: the AC exhibited a porous size between 33 and 43 Å, corresponding to mesoporous materials; the crystallite size (La) of AC was estimated at 9.31 ± 0.14 nm; the highest adsorption capacity value (239.1781 mg g-1) was achieved at pH 2.5 and 25ºC; and the point of zero charge of the adsorbent was at pH 2.0. The pseudo first-order model fit best to the experimental results (R2 > 0.99) of whey protein adsorption onto activated carbon, and the Langmuir model was the most appropriate to represent the experimental data, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 378.4380 mg g-1, demonstrating the potential of AC obtained from DCB to adsorb fresh whey protein.

The present study aimed to analyze the growth of Chlorella vulgaris in the effluent of a Biofloc Technology (BFT) system used in the Nile tilapia fingerlings farming. The conditions were cultivated by 10 days at 25 ± 2ºC, 90 μmol photons m−2 s−1 irradiance, under constant aeration (without addition of CO2), and with different BFT effluent proportions (0, 50, and 100%). After 24 hours of the inoculation that marked the beginning of the experiment, the development and multiplication of the cells were verified, demonstrating that the BFT effluent used in the Nile tilapia farming was favorable for the cultivation of the microalga Chlorella vulgaris. As expected, the Provasoli culture medium presented the best performance (1,520 ± 75 104 cells mL-1) in relation to the growth of the microalga. However, during the first four days of cultivation, C. vulgaris showed higher growth in treatments containing BFT effluent. C. vulgaris removed 93.6% of the nitrate contained in the BFT effluent. The results of the present study showed the potential use of C. vulgaris on Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture with Nile tilapia fingerlings. In addition to removing nitrate and other nitrogen compounds, C. vulgaris biomass could be used to feed zooplankton or Nile tilapia larvae.
Human Innate Immune Cells Respond Differentially to Poly-γ-Glutamic Acid Polymers from Bacillus anthracis and Nonpathogenic Bacillus Species

The poly-γ-glutamic acid (PGA) capsule produced by Bacillus anthracis is composed entirely of d-isomer glutamic acid, whereas nonpathogenic Bacillus species produce mixed d-, l-isomer PGAs. To determine if B. anthracis PGA confers a pathogenic advantage over other PGAs, we compared the responses of human innate immune cells to B. anthracis PGA and PGAs from nonpathogenic B. subtilis subsp. chungkookjang and B. licheniformis. Monocytes and immature dendritic cells (iDCs) responded differentially to the PGAs, with B. anthracis PGA being least stimulatory and B. licheniformis PGA most stimulatory. All three elicited IL-8 and IL-6 from monocytes, but B. subtilis PGA also elicited IL-10 and TNF-α, whereas B. licheniformis PGA elicited all those plus IL-1β. Similarly, all three PGAs elicited IL-8 from iDCs, but B. subtilis PGA also elicited IL-6, and B. licheniformis PGA elicited those plus IL-12p70, IL-10, IL-1β, and TNF-α. Only B. licheniformis PGA induced dendritic cell maturation. TLR assays also yielded differential results. B. subtilis PGA and B. licheniformis PGA both elicited more TLR2 signal than B. anthracis PGA, but only responses to B. subtilis PGA were affected by a TLR6 neutralizing Ab. B. licheniformis PGA elicited more TLR4 signal than B. anthracis PGA, whereas B. subtilis PGA elicited none. B. anthracis PGA persisted longer in high m.w. form in monocyte and iDC cultures than the other PGAs. Reducing the m.w. of B. anthracis PGA reduced monocytes’ cytokine responses. We conclude that B. anthracis PGA is recognized less effectively by innate immune cells than PGAs from nonpathogenic Bacillus species, resulting in failure to induce a robust host response, which may contribute to anthrax pathogenesis.
The subjective assessment of pain during the treatment of orthopaedic joint problems
Authors: Edeling J.
Published: January 2020

A system is proposed whereby the pain syndrome may be numerically expressed. The system was developed for the assessment of conditions where pain was the dominant clinical feature and objective findings were minimal e.g. headaches derived from the cervical spine. A comprehensive subjective account of pain is recorded and three of the variables are numerically graded to reflect the severity of the total syndrome. An example is given in order to demonstrate the clinical use of the system.
