Effects of land use on soil C02 flux in the Paramo de Guerrero, Colombia
Authors: Peña-Quemba Diego , Rubiano-Sanabria Yolanda , Riveros-Iregui Diego 
Published: March 2017

The Andean paramo is an important global carbon sink and has a fundamental ecological function of capture, regulation and supply of water resources. The soil CO2 efflux is a natural process through which the carbon is released into the atmo sphere by molecular diffusion. The aim of this study was to establish the effect of different land use and soil managements practices over CO2 efflux in the Paramo de Guerrero, using the soil respiration chamber technique. We evaluated five differ ent land covers present in the Paramo de Guerrero (paramo vegetation, pasture, two tillage cover and potato crop). Our results show that soil respiration was lower in the paramo (0.42 g CO2 m-2 h-1) than in the others land uses, probably due to the higher moisture content (57.1% on average). The tillage practices showed a primary physical effect, continued by the increase of the velocity of biological and chemical processes drived by soil microorganisms, such as microbial respiration and organic matter mineralization. This study demostrates that moisture and soil temperature were not the main drivers of CO2 flux in the conditions of the Paramo de Guerrero, but the agricultural management and the land use affect differentially the accumulation and release dynamics of soil organic carbon to the atmosphere.

Objective
Hepcidin may be an important mediator in exercise-induced iron deficiency. Despite the studies investigating acute exercise effects on hepcidin and markers of iron metabolism, we found no studies examining the chronic effects of walking exercises (WE) on hepcidin and markers of iron metabolism in premenopausal women. The chronic effects of two 8-week different-intensity WE on hepcidin, interleukin 6 (IL-6), and markers of iron metabolism in pre-menopausal women were examined.

Methods
Exercise groups (EG) [moderate tempo walking group (MTWG), n = 11; brisk walking group (BWG), n = 11] walked 3 days/week, starting from 30 to 51 min. Control group (CG; n = 8) did not perform any exercises. BWG walked at ∼70%–75%; MTWG at ∼50%–55% of HRRmax. VO2max, hepcidin, IL-6, and iron metabolism markers were determined before and after the intervention.

Results
VO2max increased in both EGs, favoring the BWG. Hepcidin increased in the BWG (p < 0.01) and CG (p < 0.05). IL-6 decreased in the BWG and the MTWG (p < 0.05; p < 0.01). While iron, ferritin, transferrin, and transferrin saturation levels did not change in any group, total iron binding capacity (p < 0.05), red blood cells (p < 0.05), and hematocrit (p < 0.01) increased only in the BWG.

Conclusion
Both WE types may be useful to prevent inflammation. However, brisk walking is advisable due to the positive changes in VO2max and some iron metabolism parameters, which may contribute to prevent iron deficiency. The increase in hepcidin levels remains unclear and necessitates further studies.
The effectiveness of betel leaf (piper betle Linn) extract gel and cocoa bean (theobroma cacao L) extract gel application against the hardness of enamel surface in vitro
Authors: Nugroho Juni J. , Hafsari Wirna R. 
Published: March 2017

Objective : Nowadays several ways have been evolved to increase the hardness of the enamel surface as an effort to prevent caries. One of the alternatives that can be used is application of gel with herbal basic material.Material and Methods : The use of herbal basic material is preferred by people because the side effects are relatively small compared to synthetic drugs. Piper betle and cocoa beans are medicinal plants that is often used by people to inhibit caries. This is because piper betle and cocoa beans contain hardness that may influence the enamel surface. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of piper betle extract gel and cocoa bean extract gel against the hardness of enamel surface. The samples, maxillary first premolar teeth, which has been extracted and does not have caries, were divided into 3 treatment groups: piper betle extract gel, cocoa bean extract gel, and distilled water as a negative control. Each treatment group consisted of 8 samples. The samples are decoronated in cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) areas and planted on orthoplast blocks with labial surface facing up. Samples were applied in labial enamel surface to 5, 15 and 35 minutes period times. Samples before and after the application in each treatment group were measured using Universal Hardness Tester. Data were collected and analyzed using ANNOVA Repeated test.Results : Showed there were significant differences (p <0.05) of enamel surface hardness before and after the application of cocoa bean extract gel. There were no significant differences (p> 0.05) of enamel surface hardness before and after the application of piper betel extract gel and distilled water.Conclusion : Therefore it can be concluded that cocoa been extract gel is more effective to increase the hardness of email surface.

Abstract

Background
The impact of prolonging temozolomide (TMZ) maintenance beyond six cycles in newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) remains a topic of discussion. We investigated the effects of prolonged TMZ maintenance on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Patients and Methods
In this retrospective single-center cohort study, we included patients with GBM who were treated with radiation therapy with concomitant and adjuvant TMZ. For analysis, patients were considered who either completed six TMZ maintenance cycles (group B), continued with TMZ therapy beyond six cycles (group C), or stopped TMZ maintenance therapy within the first six cycles (group A). Patients with progression during the first six TMZ maintenance cycles were excluded.

Results
Clinical data from 107 patients were included for Kaplan-Meier analyses and 102 for Cox regressions. Median PFS times were 8.1 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 6.1–12.4) in group A, 13.7 months (95% CI 10.6–17.5) in group B, and 20.9 months (95% CI 15.2–43.5) in group C. At first progression, response rates of TMZ/lomustine rechallenge were 47% in group B and 13% in group C. Median OS times were 12.7 months (95% CI 10.3–16.8) in group A, 25.2 months (95% CI 17.7–55.5) in group B, and 28.6 months (95% CI 24.4–open) in group C. Nevertheless, multivariate Cox regression for patients in group C compared with group B that accounted for imbalances of other risk factors showed no different relative risk (RR) for OS (RR 0.77, p = .46).

Conclusion
Our data do not support a general extension of TMZ maintenance therapy beyond six cycles.

Abstract
This report details the successful use of bilateral lung transplantation for the management of severe postoperative bleomycin-associated lung injury. This case highlights that the extremely favorable prognosis of advanced testicular germ cell tumors after systemic chemotherapy (&gt;90% cure rate) should not preclude lung transplant consideration in all cases, despite current guidance that considers an advanced malignancy to be a contraindication for lung transplant listing.

Published: March 2017

➢ Tribocorrosion, the degradative process between metallic modular junctions, is more commonly seen with larger prosthetic femoral heads, longer neck lengths, and higher-offset stems.➢ The use of recalled modular femoral stems should raise suspicion for tribocorrosion in patients with hip pain.➢ Fretting corrosion is the predominant source of failure at modular junctions.➢ The literature is unclear regarding the clinical utility of measuring serum levels of cobalt and chromium.➢ Reconstructive surgical procedures can be difficult as local pseudotumors can lead to destruction of the abductor musculature.
Research on transverse vibration characteristics of rope change device with clamping chain transmission in lifting system
Authors: Kou Baofu , Liu Qiuzu , Li Ning 
Published: March 2017

In order to reduce load impact and hydraulic leakage happened in the process of locked rope switching or stroke arrival for the present rope changing devices, a novel type of rope changing device with clamping chain transmission is designed based on the “pipe forming mechanism”. The new device fundamentally improves the safety and stability of steel-rope. By theoretical deduction, the steel-rope transverse vibrations in rope changing of the new device are calculated. Results show that the compacting force of locked-rope mechanism can reduce the transverse vibration amplitude by 80 % or more, which is caused by the polygon effect in chain transmission; as the increasing rigidity of locking disc spring, the limitation for transverse vibration displacement of wire rope becomes stronger, and the effect is fading when the rigidity reaches a certain value. Transverse vibration trends of steel-rope from test are consistent with the theoretical calculation results, which verify the correctness of the theoretical calculation; The maximum vibration amplitude of steel-rope is less than 0.4mm, effectively limiting the transverse vibration caused by the polygon effect in chain transmission and making the steel-rope work continuously and smoothly.

Background: Childhood obesity is a strong predictor of adult obesity incidence and can increase risk factors for getting chronic diseases. The causes of obesity are multifactor, determined by genetic and food environment changes. Risk factors believed to be the cause of obesity are home food availability status and maternal obesity.Objective: To analyze the risk of home food availability status and maternal obesity to obesity in preschool children aged 3-5 years. Method: This study was a matched case-control study. The case of this study was obese preschool children (Z-score WHZ > 2 SD) and control of this study was non-obese preschool children (Z-score WHZ -2 ≤ SD ≤ 2). Control group was taken by an age and gender matching with the case group. Based on the nutritional status screening result of 53 early childhood education (ECD) schools on 13 sub-districts in Kota Yogyakarta, there were 101 obese children and 101 non-obese children. Those schools were chosen by cluster sampling method and PPS (Probability Proportional to Size). Besides, information about home food availability status and maternal obesity was collected using questionnaire. The data were analyzed using McNemar test and conditional logistic regression. Results: Home food availability status (OR = 1.85; p=0.03; 95% CI=1.08-3.16) and maternal obesity (OR=2.5; p=0.003; 95% CI=1.37-4.55) were the most dominant risk factor related to the incidence of obesity in preschool children aged 3-5 years.Conclusion: Home food availability status and maternal obesity significantly increase the risk for getting obese in preschool children aged 3-5 years.

Published: March 2017

Este artículo analiza las fortalezas y debilidades del Programa de Apoyo a las Instancias de Mujeres de las Entidades Federativas (paimef) en Chiapas. Se centra en algunos de los problemas que afronta dicho programa en la atención a mujeres víctimas de violencia, los cuales afectan negativamente la calidad del servicio que presta: la débil vinculación institucional entre el paimef y las autoridades, o el papel de los Juzgados de Paz y Conciliación y el desconocimiento de las lenguas originarias por parte de las profesionales que colaboran en las unidades ubicadas en los municipios indígenas. Pese a ello, a través de la percepción de las usuarias, se valoran las ganancias simbólicas como el acompañamiento que tienen de dichas profesionales, así como la solución a algunas de sus demandas.
