Abstract

Objective:
A first experience of using a Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 1318 nm for limited forms of pulmonary tuberculosis surgery is reported.

Subjects and methods:
During the period from June 2013 to August 2015 a total of 32 patients (19 men and 13 women) underwent surgery for tuberculous granulomas. The average age of the patients was 37.3 years (median, 36 years; range, 18–61 years). Resections of granulomas were carried out using the laser alone (25 patients) or in combination with suturing devices (seven patients).

Results:
Overall 39 tuberculomas were removed from the 32 patients. The biggest growth measured 2.4×2.2×3.1 cm, while the smallest measured 0.5×0.5×0.5 cm. Overall, the average surgery time was 57 min (median, 50 min; range, 25–115 min). In the combined resection subgroup (using the laser and staplers), the average surgery time was 75 min (median, 50 min; range, 45–115 min). In the subgroup where lung resection was carried out using the laser alone, the average surgery time was 52 min (median, 45 min; range 25–95 min). Total blood loss during surgery was 53 ml (median, 45 ml; range 10–150 ml), 87 ml (median, 50 ml; range 15–150 ml) in the combined lung resection subgroup and 44 ml (median, 35 ml; range, 10–100 ml) in the laser only resection subgroup. Morphological analysis revealed the following results: a high level of tubercular activity was maintained in 12/39 (31%) resected tuberculous granulomas, a moderate level of tubercular activity was detected in 11/39 (28%) resected masses and remitting activity was identified in 16/39 (41%) resected masses. Along the laser resection line of the lung the edge of a tuberculous growth was found in 10/39 cases (26%). The average post-operative duration of pleural drainage was 3.9 days (median, 3 days; range, 2–9 days) in total, 4.1 days (median, 5 days; range, 2–6 days) in the combined subgroup and 3.8 days (median, 3 days; range, 2–9 days) in the laser-only subgroup. The number of post-operative complications assessed according to the Clavien-Dindo scale was two out of 32 patients (6.2%), with two cases of residual pleural cavities. Post operative mortality was 0%.

Conclusion:
Our first experience of using the Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 1318 nm for the resection of limited forms of tuberculosis demonstrated a high level of efficacy and excellent aero- and hemostatic properties with a low rate of post-operative complications even though the differences between the combined resection and laser-only subgroups were not statistically significant (p>0.05). However, the method is applicable in surgery of limited forms of lung tuberculosis in different variants, performing pure laser resections and as an additional method for other types of lung resections.
6 Pluralism, Autonomy and Public Deliberation
Authors: Jakl Bernhard 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
In a pluralistic world, the exercise of private autonomy by different individuals and groups can lead to clashes of interest. If a peaceful solution for these clashes of interest is sought, especially by means of public discussion, the focus turns to the questions: What kinds of reasons count? How should ambiguous concepts like “public order” or “good morals” be handled? In regard to content, moral-philosophical, socio-theoretical and political-philosophical interpretations enable different interpretations of “good morals” as a form of “public order”. But, the contribution argues, the starting point for all the interpretations must be the pluralization of practical subjects and thus the co-existence of law and ethics as different normative orders. Thereby, it is essential to pursue different justification strands for “good morals” without deferring the central normative requirement for respect and recognition of private autonomy.
13 Communicative Power and the Public Sphere
Authors: Kreide Regina 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
A deliberative model of politics has recently been criticized for not being very well equipped to conceptualize public spheres in world society.
A first critique is that this model assumes a conception of public spheres that is too idealistic, because it presupposes counterfactual conditions of communication in public discourse that do not meet empirical real word conditions. Secondly, it assumes an antiquated notion of a shared “we” of political actors. Because of this it does not take into consideration the “digital turn” and the ego-centering and depersonalizing effects of social media like Facebook, twitter, and blogs, which have led to a rapid decline of the public sphere. And a third critique states that the deliberative model ignores the fact that politics, and especially protests and revolutions, are not seminar-like debates but spontaneous, chaotic and sometimes violent expressions. So it is not just unreceptive for the “digital space” but also for gathering and protesting in real public places surrounded by military troops.
I will argue that all of these critiques fall short. A deliberative model of politics allows us to address the tension between the ideal and the real, the “old media” and the so-called digitalization of public spheres as well as peaceful discourse and violent uprisings. Especially the concept of communicative power, a notion also used by Hannah Arendt, reveals the potential for future participation in digital spaces and public places.
16 The Confucian Concept of “Cheng” (Integrity) in Relation to Publicity and Justice
Authors: Döring Ole 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
This paper explores the meaning of the Confucian concept of Cheng as a philosophical proposition for facilitating publicity and justice according to ethical best practice. Cheng is interpreted as a guide for teleological judgement and a moral prescript for cultivation that provides orientation for becoming a Junzi, an “accomplished person”. It can also serve to describe a form of proper behavior indicating a moral character. In particular, Cheng interconnects and qualifies all internal and external acts in relation to Ren(humaneness) and Yi(righteousness). It represents the interface between intentionality and practice in view of the subject individual concerned with introspective self-attention Shen qi du and publicity and justice in view of her/his role in society, facilitated through the functional and performative requirements of Cheng. Thus, it can be accommodated with a maxim ethics that expressly requires publicity and justice as indicators for acceptability.
20 Context, Perspective and Research Method: Several Problems of the Research on Publicness
Authors: Jun-feng Ma 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Due to the Reform and Openness of China’s market, Chinese people are increasingly aware of subjective and civic consciousness. What’s more, the attention to and demand for public affairs, public life and public spirit is increasing. Correspondingly, the research on publicness is becoming an academic hotspot, and divergent opinions are inevitable. This paper discusses publicness from the philosophical perspective. The difference between eastern and western contexts and disciplinary perspectives is noteworthy as is a self-conscious critical spirit and democratic consciousness of enlightenment. Finally, the real problems of contemporary China should be focused on, so that research on publicness can play its due role in the realization of China’s modernization.
26 Practical Wisdom in Confucian Philosophy
Authors: Lai Chen 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Confucianism, since the time of Confucius, emphasizes the significance of “practical wisdom” as the realization of philosophy. This approach accentuates the practical aspects of wisdom rather than the analytical rationale of the intellect. Emphasis on practical wisdom persistently reinforces a moral foundation that is not differentiated from personal virtue. At the same time, practical wisdom in Confucianism stresses self-cultivation, or the complete transformation of the self, derived from the internal state of the heart/mind (xin).
30 Characteristics of Chinese Philosophy and the Chinese National Spirit
Authors: Shan Li Cun 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
Humanistic and ethical thought existed in China already in the ancient culture period, and was strongly enhanced during the Spring and Autumn era. Based on this background and foundation, Confucius is ‘a creator of the paradigm’ of Chinese philosophy, and Lao-Tzu is ‘an original metaphysician,’ both establishing the basic tendencies of Chinese philosophy. After that, the philosophies of pre- and post-Qin eras, all continued to develop along their thought. Chinese philosophy has several characteristics, including the unity of nature and man, truth and goodness, cognition and behavior, ontology and cosmology, humanity and natural law, the theory of human nature and values and many others. Its theoretic framework and basic structure aims to enlighten what humans ought to be - a question at the core of Chinese culture, reflecting the national spirit. The Chinese spirit is paradigmatically expressed in two sayings, “as Heaven’s movement is ever vigorous, so must a gentleman ceaselessly strive,” and “as Earth is broad and profound, so must a gentleman be greatly virtuous and lenient.”
Imputation of DNA Methylation Levels in the Brain Implicates a Risk Factor for Parkinson’s Disease

Published: July 2016

Abstract
Understanding how genetic variation affects intermediate phenotypes, like DNA methylation or gene expression, and how these in turn vary with complex human disease provides valuable insight into disease etiology. However, intermediate phenotypes are typically tissue and developmental stage specific, making relevant phenotypes difficult to assay. Assembling large case–control cohorts, necessary to achieve sufficient statistical power to assess associations between complex traits and relevant intermediate phenotypes, has therefore remained challenging. Imputation of such intermediate phenotypes represents a practical alternative in this context. We used a mixed linear model to impute DNA methylation (DNAm) levels of four brain tissues at up to 1826 methylome-wide sites in 6259 patients with Parkinson’s disease and 9452 controls from across five genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Six sites, in two regions, were found to associate with Parkinson’s disease for at least one tissue. While a majority of identified sites were within an established risk region for Parkinson’s disease, suggesting a role of DNAm in mediating previously observed genetic effects at this locus, we also identify an association with four CpG sites in chromosome 16p11.2. Direct measures of DNAm in the substantia nigra of 39 cases and 13 control samples were used to independently replicate these four associations. Only the association at cg10917602 replicated with a concordant direction of effect (P = 0.02). cg10917602 is 87 kb away from the closest reported GWAS hit. The employed imputation methodology implies that variation of DNAm levels at cg10917602 is predictive for Parkinson’s disease risk, suggesting a possible causal role for methylation at this locus. More generally this study demonstrates the feasibility of identifying predictive epigenetic markers of disease risk from readily available data sets.

Synovial Ganglion of the Hip as a Rare Cause of L5 Radiculopathy
Authors: Briem Tim , Haemmerle Gerard , Kramers-de Quervain Inès , Leunig Michael 
Published: July 2016

Case:
We report a rare case of a dorsal synovial ganglion of the left hip causing L5 radiculopathy in a 48-year-old woman. After a 12-month history of intermittent pain in the groin, left buttock, and left lower limb, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis revealed a 10-cm-long cystic ganglion. The lesion originated from the posterior aspect of the hip joint capsule and extended through the sciatic notch toward the L5 nerve root, causing severe nerve compression. Open resection of the ganglion via surgical hip subluxation was performed.

Conclusion:
Combined presentation of symptoms attributable to intrinsic hip disease and peripheral radiculopathy should raise suspicion for a shared cause of these entities.
Pediatric Intra-Articular Localized Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor Presenting as an Acutely Irritable Hip
Authors: Saadat Ehsan , Vargas Sara O. , Anderson Megan , Glotzbecker Michael 
Published: July 2016

Case:
An otherwise healthy 9-year-old girl developed a fever and atraumatic right hip pain with inability to bear weight and exquisite pain with any motion. Her peripheral white blood-cell count was 9.85 × 103/μL, erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 18 mm/hr, and C-reactive protein level was 7.56 mg/L. Aspiration yielded bloody fluid with 611,932 red blood cells/μL, 49,529 white blood cells/μL (92% neutrophils), negative Gram stain, and no crystals. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intracapsular lesion anterior to the femoral neck. The joint was irrigated and the lesion was excised. Microscopic examination showed neutrophils interspersed within an otherwise histologically classic tenosynovial giant cell tumor.

Conclusion:
Tenosynovial giant cell tumor may rarely present as an acutely irritable hip.
Deep Vadose Zone Respiration Contributions to Carbon Dioxide Fluxes from a Semiarid Floodplain

Core Ideas
A significant fraction of CO2 fluxes from a semiarid floodplain originates from below the root zone.
Measured and calculated field CO2 fluxes are consistent.
Laboratory‐measured respiration rates are consistent with field results.
Although CO2 fluxes from soils are often assumed to originate within shallow soil horizons (<1‐m depth), relatively little is known about respiration rates at greater depths. We compared measured and calculated CO2 fluxes at the Rifle floodplain along the Colorado River and measured CO2 production rates of floodplain sediments to determine the relative importance of deeper vadose zone respiration. Calculations based on measured CO2 gradients and estimated effective diffusion coefficients yielded fluxes that are generally consistent with measurements obtained at the soil surface (326 g C m−2 yr−1). Carbon dioxide production from the 2.0‐ to 3.5‐m depth interval was calculated to contribute 17% of the total floodplain respiration, with rates that were larger than some parts of the shallower vadose zone and underlying aquifer. Microbial respiration rates determined from laboratory incubation tests of the sediments support this conclusion. The deeper unsaturated zone typically maintains intermediate water and air saturations, lacks extreme temperatures and salinities, and is annually resupplied with organic carbon from snowmelt‐driven recharge and by water table decline. This combination of favorable conditions supports deeper unsaturated zone microbial respiration throughout the year.

Die Transgression der Lichtstrahlung durch Baumblätter unter verschiedenartigen Kunstlichtbedingungen zur Entwicklung gekommen
Authors: Van Miegroet M. , Vyncke G. 
Published: July 2016

De lichttransgressie doorheen bladeren van loofboomsoorten opgegroeid onder kunstlicht - Het lichtkarakter van het boomblad en het lichttemperament van de boomsoort (Iicht- of schaduwboomsoort) kan gekarakteriseerd worden door de bepaling van het transgressielicht. De verschillen tussen vier boomsoorten (es, haagbeuk, beuk en eik) werden nagegaan bij planten opgegroeid in verschillend kunstmatig Iichtmilieu (witte, blauwe, groene en rode kunstbelichting). De metingen werden op vier verschillende tijdstippen (mei, juni, augustus, september) uitgevoerd. De lichttransgressie werd gemeten voor verschillende deelgebieden van het zichtbare spectrum. Enkel de doorlaatbaarheid van de bladeren voor licht, afkomstig uit het blauwe gebied van het spectrum laat toe een klassifikatie naar lichtbehoefte van de boomsoorten op te stellen die overeenstemd met degene die vrij algemeen door de bosbouwpraktijk wordt aanvaard (beuk-haagbeuk-es-eik). Een gedetailleerde analyse van de meetresultaten, waarbij alleen gebruik gemaakt wordt van de belichtingssterkte van het doorvallend wit licht, toont niet enkel aan hoezeer de boomsoorten onderling verschillen maar ook hoe veranderlijk het lichttemperament van elke boomsoort kan zijn. Daarenboven kan aangetoond worden, dat de blauwe belichting de onderlinge verschillen aanzienlijk doet toenemen. Alles samengenomen, moet hieruit het besluit worden getrokken, dat het lichttemperament van de boomsoort een zeer veranderlijk en alleszins een zeer relatief kenmerk is. Anderzijds is het niet zonder belang vast te stellen, dat de variabiliteit onder de invloed van wisselende lichtomstandigheden en van de tijd het grootst is bij beuk en haagbeuk. Deze boomsoorten worden derhalve als fotolabiel aanzien, dit in vergelijking met eik en met es, die minder grote variaties vertonen en die derhalve als fotostabiele boomsoorten worden aangezien. Ook werd opnieuw bevestigd dat de relatieve positie van de boomsoorten in de loop van de vegetatieperiode verandert. Elke boomoort gedraagt zich op het einde van deze periode in toenemende mate als lichtboomsoort; relatief gezien is de es daarentegen bij het begin van deze periode te beschouwen als een lichtboomsoort ten opzichte van eik, beuk en haagbeuk en op het eind van de periode als een relatieve schaduwboomsoort.
