Authors: Calarge Chadi A. , Mills James A. , Janz Kathleen F. , Burns Trudy L. , Coryell William H. , Zemel Babette S. 
Published: June 2017

OBJECTIVES:
To examine the independent contribution of major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) to changes in body composition in older adolescents.

METHODS:
Medically healthy 15- to 20-year-olds who were unmedicated or within 1 month of starting an SSRI were prospectively followed. Psychiatric functioning and medication treatment were assessed monthly. Body Mass Index (BMI) was measured every 4 months. Every 8 months, a whole-body dual-energy radiograph absorptiometry scan was obtained to determine lean BMI, fat mass index, and visceral fat mass. Linear mixed effects regression analysis examined associations between MDD, GAD, and SSRI use variables and body composition measures.

RESULTS:
Over 1.51 ± 0.76 years of follow-up, 264 participants contributed 805 observations. After adjusting for age, sex, physical activity, dietary intake, and time in the study, MDD severity was inversely associated, prospectively, with BMI, fat mass index, and lean BMI z scores, whereas cumulative SSRI treatment duration and dose were positively associated with these outcomes. GAD severity and diagnosis were not significantly associated with any body composition outcome. Moreover, citalopram and escitalopram were most strongly associated with the increase in all body composition measures, including visceral fat mass, whereas the associations with fluoxetine were somewhat weaker. Sertraline was not different from no SSRI treatment.

CONCLUSIONS:
Depression severity was associated with a decrease in measures of body composition in older adolescents over a mean of 1.5 years, whereas SSRI treatment was positively associated with these outcomes, with differential effects across treatment groups.

Published: June 2017

Tree tomato (Solanum betaceum Cav.) is an economically important fruit crop in Ecuador. The symptoms of higher virus-related incidence in plantations located in Pichincha and Tungurahua correspond to yellowing, mosaic, leaf deformation and blistering. This research carried out a diagnosis of the viruses present in these production areas using molecular techniques (RT-PCR) and electron microscopy. The identified viruses belonged to the genera Potyvirus (Potato virus Y; PVY), Polerovirus (Potato leaf roll virus; PLRV) and Tobamovirus (Tomato mosaic virus;ToMV), constituting a viral complex of at least two of the three viruses found. The symptomatology related to PVY was spots with tan or oily appearance and leaf deformation; in addition to these symptoms, yellowing and chlorosis were related to PLRV. Foliar blistering was related to the occurrence of the three viruses. The results indicated the presence of the three viruses in Tumbaco (Pichincha) and two (PLRV and PVY) in Pelileo (Tungurahua). PLRV was found in the 100% of the total samples, PVY in 50% of the Pelileo's samples and ToMV only in Tumbaco. ToMV virus has been detected for the first time infecting tree tomato in Ecuador.
Organogénesis in-vitro using three tissues types of tree tomato [ Solanum betaceum (Cav.)]
Authors: Murillo-Gómez Paola Andrea , Hoyos S Rodrigo , Chavarriaga Paul 
Published: June 2017

Tree tomato is a fruit with great economic potential due to its high nutritional value. The induction of direct organogenesis in this species is a great alternative for clonal propagation of disease-free plants, and also useful for genetic transformation. In this study was assessed the induction of organogenesis in vitro using three different tissues: leaves, petioles and sexual seeds of the variety Common. All tissues were cultured on MS supplemented with agar, sucrose and TDZ or BAP phytohormones at 0.5 to 3 mg L-1, combined or not with the auxins IAA and NAA. Although petioles and seeds had a great potential for regeneration of plantlets, leaves produced more shoots (average of 18.4 shoots/explant) on medium containing TDZ 0.5 mg L-1. Additionally, its easy handling and resistance to physical damage may be useful traits to perform genetic trans-formation. The highest average of shoots produced from seeds and petioles were 4.3 and 3.1 shoots/explant, respectively. The production of multiple shoots in petioles was influenced by low concentrations of auxins. The emergence of the radicle in the seeds was important for the formation of shoots.

Published: June 2017

In Colombia, the small and médium farmers are responsible for the production of nearly 45.000 t yr-1 of lulo (Solanum quitoense). However adequate and easy techniques for postharvest handling are not often available to be implemented by this sector of the producers. This research aimed to study banana (Musa paradisiaca) leaf as primary packaging to minimize the loss of quality of lulo stored at different temperatures. Chemical and physiological quality parameters were considered in the analysis of the maturation process. Loss weight, color changes in CIELAB coordinates, total titratable acidity (TTA), Young's modulus and firmness were measured to represent the fruit quality. Use of banana leaf as primary package show that weight losses and the color changes result of the ripening process were decreased. The color changes of lulo skin were significantly affected by storage temperature. To avoid changes in TTA, mechanical damage is not recommended. When the lulo fruits were packed with banana leaves, the Young's modulus and firmness values was higher. The results of this research allow the comparison of quality of lulo in the packaging proposal and the results of others researchers who use conventionally packaging like wood crates and carton packaging. The proposal packaging configuration (lulos packed with banana leaf in plastic crates of 80x60x20 cm) is an easy alternative to get and preserve the quality of lulo fruits for a longer storage time.

Published: June 2017

Samples of starch from broken grains of three rice varieties grown in Colombia were analyzed to determine their physicochemical and thermal properties: Fedearroz 473 (F473), Fedearroz 50 (F50) and Fedearroz 60 (F60). The granule size, solubility, swelling capacity, amylose content, syneresis, turbidity, thermal and pasting properties of starches were determined. The average size of starch granules was 9.4, 7.4 and 7.2 µm for F473, F50 and F60 samples, respectively. The amylose content showed significant differences between the studied varieties and ranged between 21.4% and 23.0%. Turbidity ranged between 1.95 and 2.34 absorbance units at 620 nm. Thermal properties, evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), registered values between 61.6 and 64.6°C for the onset temperature, between 66.6 and 69.3°C for the peak temperature, between 72.1 and 73.9°C for the end temperature, and between 8.38 and 9.47 J g-1 for the gelatinization enthalpy. The higher amylose content the higher grain size, turbidity, syneresis, viscosity, gelatinization temperature and enthalpy, and the lower swelling capacity and solubility. This paper is the first reported research on physicochemical and functional properties of starches from these Colombian rice varieties.
Statistics, Scoring Functions, and Regional Analysis of a Comprehensive Soil Health Database
Authors: Fine Aubrey K. , van Es Harold M. , Schindelbeck Robert R. 
Published: June 2017

Core Ideas
Summary statistics were developed from a robust multiregional soil health (SH) dataset.
Active carbon, organic matter, and penetration resistance were most useful soil health indicators.
Midwestern soils had relatively lower mean values for measured biological properties than Northeast or Mid‐Atlantic soils.
Soil health (SH) refers to the ability of a soil to function and provide ecosystem services. The Comprehensive Assessment of Soil Health (CASH) is an approach that measures 15 physical, biological, and chemical soil indicators, which are interpreted through scoring functions. This study reports on the SH status of 5767 samples from the Mid‐Atlantic, Midwest, and Northeast regions of the USA as evaluated using CASH. Descriptive statistics and ANOVAs of subdatasets by region and soil textural group for SH indicators, in addition to correlation coefficients, principal component (PC) analysis, and best subsets regression (BSR) were performed. From these analyses, new CASH scoring functions were developed. Separate scoring functions by textural group (fine, medium, coarse) were necessary for Wet Aggregate Stability (WAS), Available Water Capacity (AWS), Organic Matter (OM), Active Carbon (AC), and Protein. Differences existed among regions, especially for WAS, OM, Protein, and Respiration (Resp), where the Midwest had relatively lower mean values compared to the Mid‐Atlantic and Northeast. Biological properties and WAS showed moderately strong correlations (r = 0.58–0.78) and the highest loadings for the first two PCs. BSR results using the overall soil quality index as the response variable indicated that AC accounts for 45% of the variation, with additional predictability from Penetration Resistance, Resp, and WAS (68%). These four indicators are suggested for simplified SH tests. We conclude that the CASH approach can be successfully applied to evaluate the health status of soils with differing pedogenetic histories.
Proportional coefficient method applied to TRMM rainfall data: case study of hydrological simulations of the Hotan River Basin (China)

Published: June 2017

Abstract
A low-density rain gauge network is always a major obstacle for hydrological modelling, particularly for alpine and remote regions. The availability of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) rainfall products provides an opportunity for hydrological modelling, although the results must be validated and corrected before they can be used in further applications. In this paper, the combination of proportional coefficients with cross-checking by hydrological modelling was proposed as a method to improve the quality of TRMM data in a rural mountainous region, the Hotan River Basin. The performance of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was examined using streamflow and snow cover measurements. The corrected results suggest that the proportional coefficient approach could effectively improve the TRMM data quality. A verification of the hydrological model outputs indicated that the simulated streamflow was consistent with the observed runoff. Moreover, the modelled snow cover patterns presented similar spatial and temporal variations to the remotely sensed snow cover, and the correlation coefficient ranged from 0.63 to 0.98. The results from the TRMM correction and hydrological simulation approach indicated that this method can significantly improve the precision of TRMM data and can meet the requirements of hydrological modelling.
Biomarkers for Diagnosing and Staging of Fabry Disease
Authors: Kramer Johannes , Weidemann Frank 
Published: June 2017

Background:
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by
deficient activity of α -galactosidase A which leads to progressive intracellular accumulation
of globotriaosylceramide in tissues and organs including heart, kidney, vascular endothelium,
the nervous system, the eyes and the skin. Cardiac involvement is common, leads to fatal
complications and is mainly responsible for reduced life expectancy in Fabry disease. The exact
staging of disease progression and timely initiation of treatment is essential in Fabry disease.
Therefore, it is essential to use the possibilities of specific biomarkers for early detection
of organ involvement or early diagnosis.

Methods:
By the use of Pubmed all relevant papers for biomarkers in Fabry disease were
screened. The quality of retrieved papers was appraised using standard tools. Finally, 70 peer
reviewed paper were included.

Results:
In the past biomarkers for Fabry disease biomarkers did not have clinical relevance.
Nowadays, a lot of research is focusing on identification of new biomarkers and their clinical
relevance. Only two biomarkers reached clinical applicability. Lyso-GB3 for identification of
atypical FD variants and hsTNT for identification of cardiac involvement, which should indicate
further diagnostics. Treatment response to ERT can be monitored by lyso-GB3 but data
for long-time outcome are missing. A lot of GB3-related analogs are identified in urine and
plasma, some of which might play an important role for managing Fabry disease in future.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, we suggest to measure lyso-GB3 and hsTNT at least once a year.
The routine measurement of these two biomarkers will help now for the staging of every individual
patient and in addition, will help for a better general understanding of Fabry disease.
Because of “Because”: Examining the Use of Causal Language in Relative Performance Feedback
Authors: Loftus Serena , Tanlu Lloyd J. 
Published: June 2017

ABSTRACT
This study examines how the use of causal language in conveying relative performance feedback impacts subsequent task performance. Research in linguistics has shown that causal language, defined as language reflecting the search for reasons (commonly expressed through words such as “because” and “thus”), impacts how recipients process received information. We use a laboratory experiment to show that causal language has a differential effect when used in negative versus positive feedback. In the case where initial relative performance is low, the high use of causal language in the resulting negative performance feedback leads to a greater improvement in subsequent performance, compared to low use of causal language. Conversely, when initial relative performance is high, greater use of causal language in delivering positive feedback results in a smaller improvement in performance. Our results indicate that employees' cognitive processes and reactions to performance feedback are influenced by the language used in explanations.
Increased Interleukin-35 Levels in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes With Remaining C-Peptide
Authors: Espes Daniel , Singh Kailash , Sandler Stellan , Carlsson Per-Ola 
Published: June 2017

OBJECTIVE
Many patients with long-standing type 1 diabetes have remaining functional β-cells. This study investigated immunological differences between patients with or without measurable remaining endogenous insulin production after ≥10 years duration of disease.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Patients (n = 113; ≥18 years of age) with type 1 diabetes and with disease duration of ≥10 years were recruited at Uppsala University Hospital. Residual β-cell function was determined with an ultrasensitive C-peptide ELISA. Circulating cytokines, including interleukin-35 (IL-35), were determined in plasma. Additional blood samples were collected from 14 of the identified C-peptide–positive patients and 12 of the C-peptide–negative patients, as well as from 15 healthy control subjects, and were used for immediate investigation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

RESULTS
The blood concentration of the cytokine IL-35 was markedly lower in C-peptide–negative patients, and this was associated with a simultaneous decrease in the proportion of IL-35+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), IL-35+ regulatory B cells, and IL-35–producing CD8+Foxp3+ cells. IL-35 has previously been shown to maintain the phenotype of Tregs, block the differentiation of T-helper 17 cells, and thereby dampen immune assaults to β-cells. We found that the proportions of IL-17a+ cells among the Tregs, CD4+ T cells, and CD8+ T cells were lower in the C-peptide–positive patients.

CONCLUSIONS
Patients with remaining endogenous β-cell function after &gt;10 years duration of type 1 diabetes differ immunologically from other patients with long-standing type 1 diabetes. In particular, they have a much higher IL-35 production.

Published: June 2017

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of hospitalization on gastrointestinal motility and pH in healthy dogs.
DESIGN Experimental study.
ANIMALS 12 healthy adult dogs.
PROCEDURES A wireless motility capsule (WMC) that measured pressure, transit time, and pH within the gastrointestinal tract was administered orally to dogs in 2 phases. In the first phase, dogs received the WMC at the hospital and then returned to their home to follow their daily routine. In the second phase, dogs were hospitalized, housed individually, had abdominal radiography performed daily, and were leash exercised 4 to 6 times/d until the WMC passed in the feces. All dogs received the same diet twice per day in both phases. Data were compared between phases with the Wilcoxon signed rank test.
RESULTS Data were collected from 11 dogs; 1 dog was excluded because the WMC failed to exit the stomach. Median gastric emptying time during hospitalization (71.8 hours; range, 10.7 to 163.0 hours) was significantly longer than at home (17.6 hours; range, 9.7 to 80.8 hours). Values of all other gastric, small bowel, and large bowel parameters (motility index, motility pattern, pH, and transit time) were similar between phases. No change in gastric pH was detected over the hospitalization period. High interdog variability was evident for all measured parameters.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Hospitalization of dogs may result in a prolonged gastric emptying time, which could adversely affect gastric emptying of meals, transit of orally administered drugs, or assessments of underlying motility disorders.
Resolution of nonurine transudative pleural effusion in a cat after removal of a hydronephrotic kidney

Published: June 2017

Abstract
CASE DESCRIPTION A 3-year-old spayed female Bengal cat was evaluated because of a history of bilateral pleural effusion and hydronephrosis of the right kidney.
CLINICAL FINDINGS Cytologic analysis of a pleural fluid sample revealed characteristics of a pure transudate with a high percentage of lymphocytes. Results of fluid biochemical testing were not consistent with urine or chyle. Serum biochemical analysis and echocardiography yielded no evidence of hypoalbuminemia or high hydrostatic pressure secondary to cardiac disease. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed hydronephrosis of the right kidney and hydroureter of the right ureter.
TREATMENT AND OUTCOME Exploratory laparotomy with nephrectomy of the right kidney was performed. At the time of surgery, there was no evidence of communication between the retroperitoneal space and thoracic cavity. No other treatments were performed. No evidence of pleural fluid accumulation was detected 1 week after surgery, and no recurrence of clinical signs associated with pleural effusion was observed for > 1 year after surgery.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE Transudative, or nonchylous lymphatic, pleural effusion secondary to intra-abdominal disease, but independent of a low plasma protein concentration, is uncommon in veterinary medicine. This case emphasized that urinary tract obstruction should be considered as a differential diagnosis for cats with pleural effusion when more common disorders are not identified. Even without evidence of direct communication between the abnormal kidney or retroperitoneal space and the pleural space, removal of the hydronephrotic kidney appeared curative.
Os metapoemas da fase cega de Glauco Mattoso

Published: June 2017

Refletindo sobre as singularidades da arte poética de Glauco Mattoso, esse trabalho analisa alguns metapoemas da chamada fase cega do escritor, em que a audição passa a ser ferramenta fundamental no processo de criação, assim como a predominância da forma poética do soneto, eleito por sua intrínseca sonoridade e facilidade mnemônica. Aliado ao trabalho sensitivo com o som e ritmo, o poeta estabelece um processo de definição/redefinição do soneto, no qual se assenta uma tensão entre o espírito criador da persona literária e a tradição – especialmente a fescenina. Nessa revisão crítica, veremos como a abjeção surge não apenas como tema nos poemas do escritor, mas integra e sustenta o seu projeto estético, ou seja, define seu estatuto poético. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25094/rtp.2017n22a279
Dizziness, Unsteadiness, Visual Disturbances, and Sensorimotor Control in Traumatic Neck Pain
Authors: Treleaven Julia 
Published: June 2017

Synopsis There is considerable evidence to support the importance of cervical afferent dysfunction in the development of dizziness, unsteadiness, visual disturbances, altered balance, and altered eye and head movement control following neck trauma, especially in those with persistent symptoms. However, there are other possible causes for these symptoms, and secondary adaptive changes should also be considered in differential diagnosis. Understanding the nature of these symptoms and differential diagnosis of their potential origin is important for rehabilitation. In addition to symptoms, the evaluation of potential impairments (altered cervical joint position and movement sense, static and dynamic balance, and ocular mobility and coordination) should become an essential part of the routine assessment of those with traumatic neck pain, including those with concomitant injuries such as concussion and vestibular or visual pathology or deficits. Once adequately assessed, appropriate tailored management should be implemented. Research to further assist differential diagnosis and to understand the most important contributing factors associated with abnormal cervical afferent input and subsequent disturbances to the sensorimotor control system, as well as the most efficacious management of such symptoms and impairments, is important for the future.
