Counteracting ammonia inhibition during anaerobic digestion by recovery using submersible microbial desalination cell
Authors: Zhang Yifeng , Angelidaki Irini 
Published: January 2015

ABSTRACTAmmonia inhibition is one of the most frequent and serious problems in biogas plants. In this study, a novel hybrid system consisting of a submersible microbial desalination cell (SMDC) and a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) was developed for counteracting ammonia inhibition during anaerobic digestion (AD) with simultaneous in situ ammonia recovery and electricity production. The SMDC was powered by acetate in a buffer solution, while synthetic ammonia‐rich wastewater was used as the feeding of the CSTR. Under continuous operation, ammonia recovery rate of 86 g‐N/m2/day and current density of 4.33 A/m2 were achieved at steady‐state condition. As a result, 112% extra biogas was produced due to ammonia recovery by the SMDC. High‐throughput sequencing showed that ammonia recovery had an impact on the microbial community structures in the SMDC and CSTR. Considering the additional economic benefits of biogas enhancement and possible wastewater treatment, the SMDC may represent a cost‐effective and environmentally friendly method for waste resources recovery and biomethanation of ammonia‐rich residues.

Published: January 2015

AbstractThe limited availability of data on somatic gene evolution in breast cancer is challenging item to apply an appropriate clinical management for each individual. As human subtelomeric sequences are diverse‐prone and variable, they can be considered as hot spots for analysis of the health or disease status. We compared the hybridization signals of subtelomeric sequences in normal cells with those in auxiliary lymph nodes (ALNs) isolated from a single patient. Distinct signal intensities were found in all chromosomes: weak (5, 6, 9–12, and 16–19), medium (1, 5–9, 19, and X), and strong (2, 5, 9, 10, 16, and 18) intensities. Signal intensities in the patient's ALN and lymphocytes were higher than in normal tissues. The absence and presence of one or more hybridization signals and the presence of signals in the p and q arms were also variable. Whereas chromosomes 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 16, 18, 20, and X showed three hybridization spots, chromosomes 1, 4, 9, 12, 17, and 18–19 presented a reduced signal in the ALN and lymphocytes. In addition, signal intensity in the p arm was higher than in the q arm in most patients’ chromosomes. Therefore, we propose that subtelomeric hybridization be followed periodically in individuals with breast neoplasm to provide specific patterns. Such profiling could be considered as a prediction marker throughout the patients’ life. Together with the Ki67, cyclin D1, and cyclin E expression profiles, the subtelomeric hybridization profile could provide complementary information for cancer management.
Neomultitestis aspidogastriformis Bray and Cribb, 2003 (Digenea, Lepocreadiidae): mature spermatozoon and sperm morphologies in the Lepocreadioidea
Authors: Bakhoum Abdoulaye J. S. , Quilichini Yann , Justine Jean‐Lou , Bray Rodney A. , Bâ Cheikh T. , Marchand Bernard 
Published: January 2015

AbstractSpermatological characteristics are described for the first time in the genus Neomultitestis Machida, 1982, belonging to the family Lepocreadiidae Odhner, 1905. Adult Neomultitestis aspidogastriformis were collected from the digestive tract of Platax teira, caught off New Caledonia. The mature spermatozoon of N. aspidogastriformis is described by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It includes two axonemes with 9 + “1” pattern of Trepaxonemata, an antero‐lateral electron‐dense material, attachment zones, two mitochondria, a nucleus, two bundles of parallel cortical microtubules, external ornamentation of the plasma membrane, spine‐like bodies, and granules of glycogen. Certain ultrastructural characteristics of the spermatozoon, especially the antero‐lateral electron‐dense material, are shared by N. aspidogastriformis and all species of the superfamily Lepocreadioidea studied so far. The antero‐lateral electron‐dense material, present in different families of lepocreadioids, supports the monophyletic status of the superfamily. We also list several ultrastructural characteristics which characterize the mature spermatozoon of the Lepocreadioidea.

Published: January 2015

ObjectivesTo compare the variability in the assessment of coronary stents among interventional cardiologists (readers) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).BackgroundIVUS is established and validated in the evaluation of coronary stent. For cardiologists without core lab expertise, the utility of IVUS is limited by image quality. OCT yields higher image resolution; however, the consistency with which these readers interpret OCT images has not been fully evaluated or compared with IVUS.MethodsOCT and IVUS image sets (five pairs) obtained after stent placement were reviewed by readers with clinical experience in both modalities. Parameters assessed included stent expansion and symmetry, reference vessel and in‐stent cross‐sectional area (CSA) and diameter, and stent strut apposition as well as Multicenter Ultrasound Stenting in Coronaries criteria. These interpretations were compared with core lab readings and examined for interobserver variability.ResultsThe interobserver variability for measurement of in‐stent CSA was 1.34 mm2 using IVUS compared with 0.85 mm2 using OCT (P = 0.024). Variation in the deviation from core lab measurement of in‐stent CSA for IVUS was 1.48 mm2 compared with 0.87 mm2 for OCT (P = 0.042). The interobserver agreement for obtaining the Multicenter Ultrasound Stenting in Coronaries criteria using IVUS was 80.4% compared with 81.1% using OCT (P = 0.78). Compared with the corelab measurement, the readers obtained an agreement of 72.7% using IVUS vs. 67.3% using OCT (P = 0.43).ConclusionIn the assessment of deployed coronary stents by practicing cardiologists, OCT images are interpreted more consistently compared with IVUS and can be used to assess stent deployment using IVUS‐validated metrics. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AimsThe purpose of the present study was to assess the incidence, predictors and long term prognosis of stent edge dissections identified by (OCT) after the implantation of bare metal (BMS) and drug eluting stents (DES).Methods and ResultsWe studied 74 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) because of an acute coronary syndrome. Edge dissections were found in 29 of 74 patients (39.1%). Independent predictors of edge dissections were: the presence of ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (P = 0.005, odds ratio 11.78; 95% Cl 2.06–67.10), the small reference lumen diameter (P = 0.009, odds ratio 0.11; 95% Cl 0.02–0.58) and the short stents implanted (P = 0.013, odds ratio 0.83; 95% Cl 0.72–0.96). During a follow‐up period of 25.6 ± 9.4 months 11 patients presented with at least one major adverse cardiac event. Event free survival was significantly decreased in patients with edge dissection with a flap thickness >0.31 mm compared to patients with thinner flap or without any dissection (P < 0.001).ConclusionsOCT frequently detects edge dissections, usually related to STEMI presentation and to PCI technique. Deep vessel wall injury at stent edges with a dissection flap thickness more than 0.31mm carries an adverse clinical impact on long‐term clinical outcome. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
