Potato Proteins: Genetic and Physiological Changes, Evaluated by One-and Two-dimensional PAA-Gel-techniques
Authors: Stegemann H , Francksen H , Macko V 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
The proteins of mature potato tubers can be used for variety identification. Their pattern after electrophoresis or focusing are genetically determined. Various growth regulators applied during the season had no influence. Molecular weights of the protein subunits are uniform and decrease with age of the tuber, often due to depolymerization. Some subunits are linked by S -S-bridges. A proteid characteristic for immature tubers has been discovered. Part of the diversity in charge distribution is based on different degree of amidation; treatment at pH 10 changes the variety-dependent pattern to a picture similar in all varieties. The latter is also true for proteins from immature tubers. Focusing followed by SDS-incubation (with and without ME) and SDS-gelelectro-phoresis revealed that the main proteins which were different in charge had common MW and may derive from a parent protein.
The tuber proteins and especially some of the peroxidases are quite resistant to SDS-attack. Only prolonged incubation (50 °C, 40 hours) with SDS brings about digestibility. A borate buffer, pH 7.9 has been used, making possible the electrophoresis of undiluted, unfractionated sap or other crude mixtures of proteins. Some new versions of two-dimensional techniques with PAA as a carrier are applied in order to differentiate between charge, shift of charge, and MW
Early and Late Subjective Night Phases of the Drosophila pseudoobscura Circadian Rhythm Require Different Energies of Blue Light for Phase Shifting
Authors: Chandrashekaran Maroli K. , Olfgang Engelmann W 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
Two phase points (18 C.T. and 19 C.T.) in the subjective night of the Drosophila pseudoobscura circadian rhythm of eclosion, representing the end of the first half of the night and the beginning of the second half respectively, were exposed to blue (442 nm) light pulses of varying energies. The 18 C.T. phase was less sensitive relative to the 19 C.T. phase which is nearly 10-times as sensitive. This difference is not a feature restricted to the two phase points studied since similar differences could be traced to rhythm attenuating stimuli offered slightly earlier or later than the subjective midnight. It is suggested that the differences in sensitivity to light displayed by the two halves of the night are inherent to the oscillator driving the rhythm

Hospital Admission and Emergency Department Utilization in an Infant Medicaid Population
Authors: Paul David A. , Agiro Abiy , Hoffman Matthew , Denemark Cynthia , Brazen Anthony , Pollack Michael , Boehmer Christiana , Ehrenthal Deborah 
Published: September 2016

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
In the first year of life, the rate of rehospitalization for infants has been shown to be between 4.4% and 9.5%. Reducing avoidable health care utilization is a population health priority. The goal of this study was to identify maternal and infant factors associated with rehospitalization and emergency department (ED) utilization in a cohort of newborn Medicaid recipients.

METHODS:
A longitudinal database was created by linking mother–infant dyads giving birth at a regional perinatal referral center with Delaware state Medicaid data. Multivariable logistic regression and negative binomial regression were used to examine inpatient hospitalization and ED utilization within 6 months after birth.

RESULTS:
The study cohort included 4112 infants; 452 (11.0%) were rehospitalized, and 1680 (41%) used the ED within 6 months of birth. Variables independently associated with inpatient rehospitalization included NICU admission (odds ratio [OR]: 1.7 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.3–2.3]), maternal bipolar diagnosis (OR: 1.5 [95% CI: 1.1–2.2]), count of maternal prenatal hospital admissions (OR: 1.3 [95% CI: 1.1–1.5]), and count of maternal ED visits (OR: 1.08 [95% CI: 1.04–1.1]). Black race (incident rate ratio [IRR]: 1.2 [95% CI: 1.1–1.3]), fall birth (IRR: 1.2 [95% CI: 1.01–1.3]), count of maternal ED visits (IRR: 1.1 [95% CI: 1.09–1.12]), number of maternal medications (IRR: 1.02 [95% CI: 1.01–1.03]), and maternal age (IRR: 0.97 [95% CI: 0.96–0.98]) were associated with ED utilization.

CONCLUSIONS:
In this newborn Medicaid population, multiple maternal factors (including age, race, and mental health diagnoses) were associated with health care utilization in the 6 months after initial hospital discharge. Our data provide potential risk factors for targeted intervention and suggest that maternal factors should be considered in identifying a population at risk for rehospitalization and ED utilization.

Published: September 2016

OBJECTIVE:
To determine the association between longitudinal growth measures (height, weight, head circumference, and extent of catch-up growth) and neuropsychological functioning at 7 years in moderately and late preterm children.

METHODS:
This study was part of a prospective, community-based cohort study. Data on growth were obtained from records on routine assessments in well-child centers until age 4 years and in a research setting at 7 years. Neuropsychological functioning was assessed at age 7 years. We assessed associations of growth with neuropsychological functioning and determined odds ratios for impaired neuropsychological functioning. All analyses were corrected for maternal education.

RESULTS:
We included 234 children. Median gestational age was 34 weeks (P25–75: 33–35 weeks), and mean birth weight was 2.2 kg (± 0.5 kg). Short stature at all ages was associated with poorer motor, IQ, and attention scores and led to increased risks of impaired motor skills and low IQ. Lower weight at 1 and 4 years was associated with poorer IQ scores. Increased weight gain between age 4 and 7 years was, however, associated with poorer motor, IQ, and attention scores. Decreased head circumference gain in the first year of life was associated with poorer motor and attention scores and led to an increased risk of impaired motor and attention skills.

CONCLUSIONS:
In moderately and late preterm children, poorer growth in the first 7 years is associated with poorer neuropsychological functioning. Regarding height, short stature was also associated with a higher likelihood of clinically relevant impaired neuropsychological functioning.

O corpo danado
Authors: Rizo Sérgio 
Published: September 2016

A representação do corpo humano tem sido um tema central na arte ocidental. Em consonância com esta tradição e desde os seus primórdios, o cristianismo utilizou um sistema de representações com base no corpo humano que enfatizou a relação problemática entre o corpo e a alma. A ambiguidade do corpo cristão dividido entre as forças do bem e do mal, premido entre o Paraíso e Inferno, deu origem a uma vasta produção de representações e metáforas relacionadas ao corpo humano na história das artes visuais e literárias. O foco principal deste artigo é a maneira pela qual os corpos nus dos condenados são representados e relacionados com os corpos demoníacos no tema maior do Juízo Final e da sua categoria dependente, ou seja, a do Inferno. Uma história das representações do corpo nas imagens do Inferno feita a partir de uma concepção teocêntrica e medieval do mundo, que concebeu um corpo miserável em oposição à alma divina , e que vai ao humanismo contagioso da Renascença, quando as representações do corpo humano no Inferno , às vezes eróticas , eram de fato belas, devido à influência da Antiguidade e aos novos estudos sobre anatomia humana, elaborados pelos seus artistas.

Published: September 2016

Background: Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), a periodontal pathogen, has interstrain variability in virulence. The aim of this study is to determine the contribution of the cell invasion ability and proteolytic activity of Pg to its virulence in a murine model of periodontitis.Methods: Three clinical isolates: KUMC‐P1 (P1: low cell invasion ability and low proteolytic activity); KUMC‐P4 (P4: low cell invasion ability and high proteolytic activity); and KUMC‐P8 (P8: high cell invasion ability and low proteolytic activity), were orally administered into mice. Alveolar bone loss (ABL) and bacterial invasion of gingival tissues were measured. Additionally, effects of the three strains on transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) and the levels of tight‐junction proteins in gingival epithelial cells were evaluated in vitro.Results: ABL induced by the three strains was in the sequence P4 > P8 > P1, and the difference between P8 and P1 was not significant. Amounts of Pg detected within the gingival tissues were increased by all three strains compared with the sham group, and bacterial level was positively correlated with ABL. In vitro, P4 had a greater effect than the other strains on epithelial barrier disruption, as evidenced by the reduced levels of tight‐junction proteins and TER.Conclusion: The proteolytic activity of Pg was more critical than the cell invasion ability for inducing experimental periodontitis in mice, which could be attributed to the paracellular pathway dependence of gingival tissue invasion by bacteria in the mice.

Authors: Bull Sheana , Devine Sharon , Schmiege Sara J. , Pickard Leslie , Campbell Jon , Shlay Judith C. 
Published: September 2016

Objectives. To consider whether Youth All Engaged! (a text message intervention) intensified the effects of the adolescent pregnancy prevention Teen Outreach Program (control) for youths. Methods. In this trial performed in Denver, Colorado, from 2011 to 2014, we randomized 8 Boys & Girls Clubs each of 4 years into 32 clubs per year combinations to ensure each club would serve as a treatment site for 2 years and a control site for 2 years. Control intervention consisted of the Teen Outreach Program only. We enrolled 852 youths (aged 14–18 years), and 632 were retained at follow-up, with analytic samples ranging from 50 to 624 across outcomes. We examined program costs, and whether the intervention increased condom and contraceptive use, access to care, and pregnancy prevention. Results. Control program costs were $1184 per participant, and intervention costs were an additional $126 per participant (+10.6%). There were no statistically significant differences in primary outcomes for the full sample. Hispanic participants in the intervention condition had fewer pregnancies at follow-up (1.79%) than did those in the control group (6.72%; P = .02). Conclusions. Youth All Engaged is feasible, low cost, and could have potential benefits for Hispanic youths.
A Clustered Randomized Controlled Trial of the Positive Prevention PLUS Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Program
Authors: LaChausse Robert G. 
Published: September 2016

Objectives. To determine the impact of Positive Prevention PLUS, a school-based adolescent pregnancy prevention program on delaying sexual intercourse, birth control use, and pregnancy. Methods. I randomly assigned a diverse sample of ninth grade students in 21 suburban public high schools in California into treatment (n = 2483) and control (n = 1784) groups that participated in a clustered randomized controlled trial. Between October 2013 and May 2014, participants completed baseline and 6-month follow-up surveys regarding sexual behavior and pregnancy. Participants in the treatment group were offered Positive Prevention PLUS, an 11-lesson adolescent pregnancy prevention program. Results. The program had statistically significant impacts on delaying sexual intercourse and increasing the use of birth control. However, I detected no program effect on pregnancy rates at 6-month follow-up. Conclusions. The Positive Prevention PLUS program demonstrated positive impacts on adolescent sexual behavior. This suggests that programs that focus on having students practice risk reduction skills may delay sexual activity and increase birth control use.

Published: September 2016

Objectives. To evaluate the effectiveness of an evidence-based HIV/sexually transmitted infection (STI)/pregnancy prevention program for middle schools implemented by school staff in South Carolina. Methods. Twenty-four schools, representing 3143 youths, participated in a randomized trial from 2011 to 2014. Students completed surveys before programming (fall of seventh grade), after completing the 2-year It’s Your Game…Keep It Real program (spring of eighth grade), and 1-year postprogram (spring of ninth grade). Results. There was no statistically significant effect on initiation of vaginal sex between baseline and eighth grade. Significantly fewer students in the comparison condition reported initiating sex at ninth grade, relative to the intervention condition. No group differences existed on other behavioral outcomes that addressed sexual activity in the past 3 months at ninth grade. Seven of 26 psychosocial outcomes (3 knowledge, 1 attitude, 1 self-efficacy, 2 personal limits) were positively affected at eighth grade; 4 remained significant at ninth grade. Conclusions. The original studies’ behavioral effects were not replicated in this population, possibly as a result of this being an effectiveness trial instead of an efficacy trial, counterfactual exposure design issues, or postprogram exposure to evidence-based programming.

Published: September 2016

In this article, the technology of salt bath carburizing at low temperature (640 °C) is used to prepare the titanium carbide thin film on Ti6Al4V alloy surface. The processed alloy sample surface phase and elements are observed by XRD and EDAX. The hardness of sample surface and permeability layer are measured by the MH-3 type microhardness meter. And the friction and wear contrast tests of the uncarburized and carburized samples are carried out using the M2000 friction and wear testing machine. The results show that: high hard phase carbide Ti8C5 is generated on the sample surface. The processed sample surface hardness is 953.28HV, which is 2.57 times of the original; The friction and wear properties of the carburized sample improve significantly; At 100 N, the uncarburzed wearing loss is 29 times of the carburized wearing loss, and at 300 N, the friction coefficient is reduced by 55.9 %.
Vibroacoustic diagnostics of a radial microturbine and a scroll expander operating in the organic Rankine cycle installation

Published: September 2016

The article presents the results of vibroacoustic research on a prototypical 4-stage radial microturbine and a scroll expander operating in the organic Rankine cycle with the low-boiling fluid HFE7100. The high-speed microturbogenerator had the electrical capacity of 3 kWe at the nominal speed of 24000 rpm. The low-speed expander with a capacity of 1 kWe and a nominal speed of 3600 rpm was made by Air Squared. The frequency characteristics and overall vibration level (vibration velocity Vrms) measurements were conducted for both the microturbine and the expander, depending on the rotational speed and on the power consumption of electrical energy receivers. The level of noise emitted by the microturbine and expander was also determined. The research was carried out for various electrical loads of the expansion devices generators running in the ORC system. The devices were tested in the following electric power ranges: from 550 We to 1150 We (scroll expander) and from 800 We to 1800 We (radial microturbine). Based on the obtained results, dynamic state assessment of the tested machines was performed and their noise and vibration levels were analysed.
Professional Variability in Decision Making in Modern Dentistry: A Pilot Study
Authors: Listl S , Faggion CM , Staehle HJ 
Published: September 2016

SUMMARYDental treatment planning is usually expected to take account of the individual patient's clinical risks and benefits. Ideally, the therapeutic choice for each and every patient should be based on adequate clinical diagnostics and risk assessment that facilitates stabilization of the patient's clinical condition as well as prevents further oral impairment. However, identification of the most suitable approach tends to become more and more challenging as the number of therapeutic alternatives continues to increase due to medical innovation. In this study, the challenge of decision making in modern dentistry is illustrated using the example of bounded edentulous spaces. Many therapeutic alternatives exist for such clinical scenarios, including a noninvasive monitoring approach, minimally invasive tooth recontouring, orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment, and implant placement. The findings of this pilot study highlight the utmost relevance of incorporating individual patients' needs and risks into clinical treatment planning and providing appropriate guidelines.
