Experiences of antidepressant medication and cognitive–behavioural therapy for depression: A grounded theory study
Authors: Bayliss Paul , Holttum Sue 
Published: August 2014

ObjectivesTo develop a preliminary model of the experiences of people undergoing combined treatment with antidepressant medication and cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) for depression.DesignThe study used a qualitative methodology informed by grounded theory.MethodsParticipants were 12 adults who had received treatment with antidepressant medication and CBT for depression. Participants engaged in a semistructured interview about their experiences. Interviews were transcribed and analysed using components of grounded theory methodology.ResultsMedication was often seen as an initial aid to surviving a crisis. Staying on medication longer term resulted in some participants feeling caught in a ‘drug loop’. Feeling that medication was unhelpful or actively harmful could contribute to participants seeking CBT. Medics also offered information on CBT and acted as gatekeepers, meaning that negotiation was sometimes necessary. CBT was described as a process of being guided towards skilled self‐management. Occasionally, participants felt that medication had facilitated CBT at one or more stages. Conversely, developing skilled self‐management through CBT could reduce feelings of dependency on medication and affect several of the other elements maintaining the ‘drug loop’.ConclusionsAntidepressant medication and CBT are perceived and experienced differently, with CBT often being seen as an alternative to medication, or even as a means to discontinue medication. Service users’ experiences and beliefs about medication may thus affect their engagement and goals in CBT, and it may be important for therapists to consider this.Practitioner points

Practitioners who prescribe medication should ensure that they also provide information on the availability and appropriateness of CBT, and engage in an open dialogue about treatment options.

CBT practitioners should explore aspects of clients’ experiences and beliefs about medication. This would particularly include clients’ experiences of the effects of medication, their beliefs about dependency on medication, their relationships with prescribers, and their future wishes.

Practitioners should consider advocating for clients or supporting them to behave more assertively with prescribers.

All practitioners should ensure they have up‐to‐date knowledge of antidepressant medication.

AbstractAlthough mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX) has been proposed to play essential roles in high light stress tolerance, the effects of AOX on chlorophyll synthesis are unclear. Previous studies indicated that during greening, chlorophyll accumulation was largely delayed in plants whose mitochondrial cyanide‐resistant respiration was inhibited by knocking out nuclear encoded AOX gene. Here, we showed that this delay of chlorophyll accumulation was more significant under high light condition. Inhibition of cyanide‐resistant respiration was also accompanied by the increase of plastid NADPH/NADP+ ratio, especially under high light treatment which subsequently blocked the import of multiple plastidial proteins, such as some components of the photosynthetic electron transport chain, the Calvin–Benson cycle enzymes and malate/oxaloacetate shuttle components. Overexpression of AOX1a rescued the aox1a mutant phenotype, including the chlorophyll accumulation during greening and plastidial protein import. It thus suggests that light intensity affects chlorophyll synthesis during greening process by a metabolic signal, the AOX‐derived plastidial NADPH/NADP+ ratio change. Further, our results thus revealed a molecular mechanism of chloroplast–mitochondria interactions.

AbstractThe plasticity of root architecture is crucial for plants to acclimate to unfavourable environments including low nitrogen (LN) stress. How maize roots coordinate the growth of axile roots and lateral roots (LRs), as well as longitudinal and radial cell behaviours in response to LN stress, remains unclear. Maize plants were cultivated hydroponically under control (4 mm nitrate) and LN (40 μm) conditions. Temporal and spatial samples were taken to analyse changes in the morphology, anatomical structure and carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio in the axile root and LRs. LN stress increased axile root elongation, reduced the number of crown roots and decreased LR density and length. LN stress extended cell elongation zones and increased the mature cell length in the roots. LN stress reduced the cell diameter and total area of vessels and increased the amount of aerenchyma, but the number of cell layers in the crown root cortex was unchanged. The C/N ratio was higher in the axile roots than in the LRs. Maize roots acclimate to LN stress by optimizing the anatomical structure and N allocation. As a result, axile root elongation is favoured to efficiently find available N in the soil.

AbstractLymphocele is a well‐known postoperative complication after kidney transplantation. The aim of this study was to analyze time trend incidence, risk factors, and outcome of post‐transplant lymphocele in a large pediatric cohort. This is a retrospective single institution review of 241 pediatric kidney transplants performed from 2000 to 2013. Etiology of end‐stage renal disease, recipient age and gender, transplant year, BMI percentile for age, type of dialysis, living/non‐living related donor, acute rejection, and multiple transplantations were analyzed in association with lymphocele formation. Fourteen of 241 (5.81%) children developed a postoperative lymphocele. There has been a reduction in the incidence of lymphocele after 2006 (3.22% vs. 8.55%, p < 0.05). Significant risk factors for lymphocele were older age (≥11 yr), transplant before 2006, male gender, BMI percentile for age ≥95%, and multiple transplantations (p < 0.05). The one‐yr graft survival was significantly reduced in the group with lymphocele compared with control (81.2% vs. 92.51%, p < 0.04). This is the first pediatric report showing the following risk factors associated with post‐transplant lymphocele: age ≥11 yr, male gender, BMI for age ≥95%, and multiple transplantations. A lymphocele can contribute to graft loss in the first‐year post‐transplant.
Widespread desert affiliation of trebouxiophycean algae (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta) including discovery of three new desert genera
Authors: Fučíková Karolina , Lewis Paul O. , Lewis Louise A. 
Published: August 2014

SummaryUnlike most other green algae, trebouxiophyceans are predominantly aerophytic and contain many symbiotic representatives. In recent years, a number of new terrestrial trebouxiophycean taxa were described from soils, tree bark, and lichens. The present phylogenetic study reveals three new lineages of free‐living trebouxiophyceans found in North American desert soil crusts and proposes new generic names to accommodate them: Desertella, Eremochloris, and Xerochlorella. This survey of desert isolates also led to discovery of representatives of seven existing genera of trebouxiophyceans. Two of these genera have never been reported to contain desert representatives and one was known previously only from aquatic habitats. Furthermore, we expand the known geographic range of the recently described genus Chloropyrula, heretofore only known from the Ural Mountains. We demonstrate that the diversity of trebouxiophyceans is still underestimated and poorly understood, and that most major trebouxiophycean lineages contain desert‐dwelling taxa.

Published: August 2014

SummaryAlgal cultivation is a potential candidate for CO2 mitigation. CO2 plays important roles in mass cultivation of algae, including supplying carbon source and adjusting medium pH. To assess the possibility of using edible cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme as carbon storage device, the growth characteristics of N. flagelliforme batch cultured under elevated CO2 concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, 20, and 40%) were investigated in this study. Results showed that the net photosynthetic rate, efficiency and carbon sequestration rate at 20% CO2 were increased at a maximum of 121 μmol O2 (mg chla)−1 h−1 8.40% and 0.17 g CO2 L−1 day−1, and increased by 0.42, 1.03 and 1.13 folds compared with that of the control, respectively. Higher CO2 concentration resulted in the declines in photosynthetic rate, efficiency and carbon sequestration rate because of medium pH reduction. Accordingly, the dry cell weight, amount of exopolysaccharides and protein content of N. flagelliforme cells at 20% CO2 were obtained at a maximum of 1.45 g L−1, 54.98 mg L−1 and 57.75%, increased by 0.93, 0.29 and 0.8 folds compared with that of the control, respectively. These results provided important information for CO2 mitigation by N. flagelliforme and would shed more light on elucidating the mechanisms of CO2 tolerance in cyanobacterium.

SummaryBread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has a major salt tolerance locus, Kna1, responsible for the maintenance of a high cytosolic K+/Na+ ratio in the leaves of salt stressed plants. The Kna1 locus encompasses a large DNA fragment, the distal 14% of chromosome 4DL. Limited recombination has been observed at this locus making it difficult to map genetically and identify the causal gene. Here, we decipher the function of TaHKT1;5‐D, a candidate gene underlying the Kna1 locus. Transport studies using the heterologous expression systems Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Xenopus laevis oocytes indicated that TaHKT1;5‐D is a Na+‐selective transporter. Transient expression in Arabidopsis thaliana mesophyll protoplasts and in situ polymerase chain reaction indicated that TaHKT1;5‐D is localised on the plasma membrane in the wheat root stele. RNA interference‐induced silencing decreased the expression of TaHKT1;5‐D in transgenic bread wheat lines which led to an increase in the Na+ concentration in the leaves. This indicates that TaHKT1;5‐D retrieves Na+ from the xylem vessels in the root and has an important role in restricting the transport of Na+ from the root to the leaves in bread wheat. Thus, TaHKT1;5‐D confers the essential salinity tolerance mechanism in bread wheat associated with the Kna1 locus via shoot Na+ exclusion and is critical in maintaining a high K+/Na+ ratio in the leaves. These findings show there is potential to increase the salinity tolerance of bread wheat by manipulation of HKT1;5 genes.
Species delimitation in the Aleochara fucicola species complex (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae) and its phylogenetic relationships
Authors: Song Jeong‐Hun , Ahn Kee‐Jeong 
Published: August 2014

To assess the accuracy of species delimitation and phylogenetic relationships of the Aleochara fucicola species complex, we performed molecular phylogenetic analyses. Detailed micromorphological characters were also examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The molecular data set included two mitochondrial (COI and COII) and three nuclear protein‐coding genes (CAD, EF1‐α and wg) for 19 populations of five species. Significant discordance was found between mitochondrial and nuclear gene trees. Two species, A. puetzi (Assing) and A. segregata Yamamoto and Maruyama, were not separated in the mitochondrial gene trees, but clearly were differentiated in the nuclear and concatenated gene trees. The SEM data also supported the separation of these two species, but an analysis of genetic divergence data did not. Adaptation to extremely harsh environments might reduce morphological variation in the A. fucicola species complex during the colonization of seashores. We present a multilocus phylogeny of the species complex. It suggests that the ancestor of the A. fucicola species complex occurred along the southern coasts of Northeast Asia, followed by dispersals to northern coasts.

Authors: A. S. Abdulrahman, , Ismail Mohammad 
Published: August 2014

The present paper involves studies of inhibitors on carbonation depth and carboaluminates of concrete which was exposed to accelerated carbonation. Three inhibitors used were; calcium nitrite, ethanolamine and eco-friendly green Bambusa Arundinacea. Concrete mix was designed to be 30 MPa with 0.45 W/C ratios which was chloride contaminated by 1.5% weight of cement content from analytical grade of magnesium chloride salt. Inhibitors additions were 2% and 4% weight of cement content. The results show that Bambusa arundinacea inhibitor distinctively shows lowest level of carbonation. This developed hydrophobic green inhibitor characteristics was able to form impermeable barrier against CO2 gas. Additionally, hemicarboaluminate phases appears at hydration in calcite-containing Portland cement, even in the presence of two inhibitors (calcium nitrite and ethanolamine) which gradually converted to monocarboaluminate. Whereas, Bambusa arundinacea inhibitor causes the saturation of portlandite that maintained Ca/Si ratio above 1.65 and C-S-H remain unaffected by carbonation.

Phenolics are the most ample secondary metabolites of plants and have drawn increasing attention in their applications in health supplement and functional cosmetic. This is due to their strong antioxidant properties and their marked effects in the inhibition of several oxidative stress associated metabolic disorder such as cancer and aging. In Labisia pumila, gallic acid (3,4,5-Trihydroxybenzoic acid) was found to be one of the most abundant secondary metabolite. It has been proposed as a biomarker in cosmetic and food supplement applications. In this research the identification and isolation of gallic acid were carried out. Different sorbent of solid-phase extraction (SPE) column were used for the fractionation of Labisia pumila var Alata water extract and the amount of gallic acid present in the fractions were quantified. The aim is to identify the better sorbent-solvent combination in SPE that result in higher recovery of gallic acid from Labisia pumila var Alata water extract. A range of solvent mixtures of 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% methanol (Me Oh)-water was used. Gallic acid was successfully extracted and identified from Labisia pumila. From this discovery, C18 silica reversed phase solid phase extraction column could extracts highest gallic acid from Labisia pumila var Alata water extract. Retention of analyte from the sample from second elution using 80% methanol-water Solvent may be used as the best method to extract the compound from Labisia Pumila var Alata since it has been reported to have various bioactivities such as high antioxidant activity and cytotoxic against many diseases. Using C18 silica reversed phase in SPE as a fractionation and extraction of gallic acid from Labisia pumila var Alata can be achieved for application purpose or future studies.

Published: August 2014

Succinic acid has received an upsurge interest in many industries due to its high product values and can be used in various applications. The purification cost for succinic acid from fermentation process was higher than the production cost, and the stock for succinic acid is limited. Thus, it is essential to develop an economical method to extract and purify the succinic acid. One of the promising methods is emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) process. In this study, ELM system will be developed to recover succinic acid from a simulated succinic acid fermentation broth through the selection of liquid membrane component using liquid-liquid extraction method. Several parameters such as different types of carrier, diluent, and stripping agent were investigated. The results show that the suitable carrier is Amberlite LA-2 with 87.2% of succinic acid extraction, the diluent is kerosene with 5% 1-octanol and the stripping agent is sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were selected as a main component for liquid membrane formulation.

Published: August 2014

Urea coated with neem fertilizer is one of the solutions to increase the efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer and reduce greenhouse gases emission. Inhibition of the nitrification rate of urea can reduce NO3‒ and N2O gas, and at the same time urea can be efficiently absorbed by the plants. Neem (Azadirachta indica) can suppress nitrification rate of 20-50%, which is slightly lower than that of dyciandiamide (DCD) (56-80%). Coating of urea granules was done by dipping urea granules in 1% neem oil, exposed it to 2.5% and 5% neem cake and then homogenized by rotation. The results were compared to urea coated with 5% DCD. The efficiency of fertilizer and nitrification inhibition were measured by nitrate and ammonium changes and fluxes of N2O gas. The results showed that application of urea coated with 5% neem on cabbage plants yielded the highest plant height. However, the leaf length and width were not significantly different with other urea treatments. Application of urea coated neem reduced nitrification rate and N2O emissions in the soil. Soil CO2’s levels treated either with 2.5% or 5% neem coated urea showed the lowest levels of CO2 soil. This suggests that neem can reduce N2O and CO2 emissions from urea fertilizer as well as the capacity to reduce nitrification rate.

Nanocrystalline spinel ferrites with general formula of MnxZn1−xFe2O4; x = 1.0, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2, 0.1 were prepared via co-precipitation method at 75 °C and pH 11. The XRD results showed that the doping of Zn ions into ferrite’s structure resulted in the reduction of both crystallinity and crystallite size. The results also revealed that the synthesized MnxZn1−xFe2O4 crystalline in spinel cubic structure with particle size range of 13.0 – 22.5 nm. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images showed an increase in particle size with the decreasing Zn content. The types of chemical covalent bonds which existed in the samples were determined via Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

Seismic data processing is one of the three stages in the seismic method that has an important role in the exploration of oil and gas. Without good data processing, it is impossible to get seismic image cross section for good interpretation. A research using seismic data processing was done to update the velocity model by horizon based tomography method in SBI Field, North West Java Basin. This method reduces error of seismic wave travel time through the analyzed horizon because the existence velocity of high lateral variation in research area. There are three parameters used to determine the accuracy of the resulting interval velocity model, namely, flat depth gathers, semblance residual moveout that coincides with the axis zero residual moveout, and the correspondence between image depth (horizon) with wells marker (well seismic tie). Pre Stack Depth Migration (PSDM) form interval velocity model and updating using horizon-based tomography method gives better imaging of under-surfaced structure results than PSDM before using tomography. There are three faults found in the research area, two normal faults have southwest-northeast strike and the other has northwest-southeast strike. The thickness of reservoir in SBI field, North West Java Basin, is predicted between 71 to 175 meters and the hydrocarbon (oil) reserve is predicted about with 22.6% porosity and 70.7% water saturation.

Published: August 2014

This research investigates the use of predictive models and a low cost spectroscopy in non-invasive Soluble Solids Content (SSC) assessment. The challenge is to model complex and high-dimensional spectral data. Results indicate that the SSC prediction of pineapples harvested on different days using the proposed approach is promising. The second study evaluates common pre-processing practices. Findings indicate that the best accuracy would be achieved when visible spectrum was excluded, second order Savitzky-Golay derivative with the optimal filter length was used, and the absorbance transformation was avoided.
