Microvascular autologous submandibular gland transplantation in severe cases of keratoconjunctivitis sicca
Authors: Su Jia-Zeng , Cai Zhi-Gang , Yu Guang-Yan 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
Dry eye syndrome is a relatively common disease of the tears and ocular surfaces that results in discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability with possible damage to the ocular surfaces. Microvascular submandibular gland (SMG) transfer offers a surgical alternative for a permanent autologous substitution of tears using the basal secretion of a transplanted SMG. Long-term follow-up reveals that this technique is a lasting and effective solution for patients with severe dry eye syndrome. The uncomfortable symptoms were relieved, and the frequency of use of pharmaceutical tear substitutes was reduced. Objective examination showed significant improvement in tear film and some features of ocular surface such as breakup time of tear film and corneal staining. Patients may suffer from obstruction of Wharton's duct or epiphora after surgery. Activation of secretion-related receptors could improve the early hypofunction of the denervated SMG and prevent the duct obstruction. Reduction surgery, partial SMG transplantation, uses of atropine gel or Botulinum toxin A could be the choices of treatment for epiphora.

Published: April 2015

Abstract

Background
Osteoradionecrosis is a delayed complication from radiation therapy which causes chronic pain, infection and constant deformity after necrosis. Most of the osteoradionecrosis occurs spontaneously or after the primary oncologic surgery, dental extraction or by trauma of prosthesis. The treatment of osteoradionecrosis relies on both conservative measures and surgical measures. The fibular osteocutaneous free flap has become more popular choice for reconstruction of maxillofacial defects as a treatment of osteoradionecrosis.

Methods
We presented our experiences from 7 patients with osteoradionecrosis who have had reconstruction surgery with fibular osteocutaneous free flap at National Cancer Center during the recent 5 years. We performed segmental mandibular resection with fibular osteocutaneous free flap for all 7 patients of advanced osteoradionecrosis who were not controlled by conservative treatment such as wound irrigation, debridement, and antibiotics.

Results
A wide range of techniques were available for the reconstruction of composite defects resulted from the treatment of advanced mandibular osteoradionecrosis. Significant improvement was noted in relieving pain and treating trismus after the surgery however difficulty in swallowing and xerostomia showed less improvement.

Conclusions
We concluded that fibular osteocutaneous free flap can be performed safely in patients with osteoradionecrosis and yields positive outcomes with significantly increased success rate. The fibular osteocutaneous free flap was our preferred choice for the mandibular reconstruction due to its versatility and predictability.

Abstract

Background
This study are to identify the symptomatic changes and condylar stability after 2 jaw surgery without preceding treatments for Temporomandibular joints(TMJ) in class III patients with the TMJ symptoms; and to assess therapeutic effect of 2 jaw surgery and the necessity of preceding treatment for alleviation of TMJ symptoms.

Methods
30 prognathic patients with preexisting TMJ symptoms were divided into 2 groups according to presence or absence of preceding treatments before the surgery. We evaluated symptomatic changes on both TMJ by questionnaires and clinical examinations. And we reconstructed 3D cone beam computed tomography images before 2 jaw surgery, immediately after the surgery, and 6 months or more after the surgery with SimPlant software, and analyzed the stability of condylar position on 3D reconstruction model. Significances were assessed by the Wilcoxon signed rank test on SPSS ver. 20.0.

Results
Both groups had favorable changes of TMJ symptoms after orthognathic surgery. And postoperative position of condyle had good stability during follow-up period.

Conclusion
2 jaw surgery without preceding treatments for TMD can have therapeutic effect for TMD patients with class III malocclusion.
Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion with tent screws and a custom-made palatal expander: a case report
Authors: Park Kang-Nam , Lee Chang Youn , Park In Young , Kim Jwa Young , Yang Byoungeun 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
Rapid palatal expansion(RPE) with the tooth-born appliance is not sufficient to apply to the patients with periodontal problem or insufficient tooth anchorage, and it leads to tipping of the anchorage teeth and increasing teeth mobility and root resorption. To avoid these disadvantages, we present the case using palatal screws and custommade palatal expander. A 23-year-old patient underwent surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion with the Hyrax expansion using 4 tent screws. The study models were used to measure the pre−/−post surgical width of the anterior and posterior dental arches with a digital sliding caliper. In the result, the custom-made palatal expander with 4 tent screws is suitable for delivering a force to the mid-palatal suture expansion. And it is low cost, small sized and simply applied. The results indicated that maxillary expansion with the custom-made palatal anchorage device is predictable and stable technique without significant complications in patients.
Practical application of liquid-CO2/slick-water hybrid fracturing technology in the lacustrine shale gas reservoir in Ordos Basin, China
Authors: Wang Xiangzeng 
Published: April 2015

The seventh member of the Yanchang Formation, Upper Triassic black shale deposited in the deep and semideep lacustrine environment, is located in the southeast area of the Ordos Basin. It is 1200–1800 m in buried depth and 30–60 m in thickness. As the main target of lacustrine shale gas in this region, the seventh member of the Yanchang Formation usually uses fracturing technology as the major stimulation treatment. Slick-water fracturing with a high-pumping rate has been successful early on, but the low reservoir pressure of this formation resulted in a large volume of fracturing fluid invasion. As a consequence, the shale-gas well production has been postponed owing to the low rate of fracturing-fluid flowback and a long cleanup period. Liquid-[Formula: see text] fracturing has caused almost no damage to the formation, and the volumetric expansion of [Formula: see text] after gasification will increase formation energy and improve the fluid cleanup rate. I have developed a liquid-CO2/slick-water hybrid fracturing technology that combined the advantages of liquid-[Formula: see text] and high-pumping-rate slick-water fracturing. Sixteen vertical wells and one horizontal well have been tested in the Ganquan Area, Shaanxi Province, China. As a result, the fluid cleanup rate improved 30% in comparison with regular slick-water fracturing. Moreover, the fracturing-fluid cleanup period of vertical wells decreased from 45 to 25 days. A field test indicated that because more liquid [Formula: see text] was used (i.e., the volume ratio of liquid [Formula: see text] to slick water increases), the performance of reservoir energizing and flowback result improved.
Acceleration of Insulin Amyloid Fibrillation at Liquid–Liquid Interfaces
Authors: Watanabe Shiori , Watarai Hitoshi 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
The formation of insulin amyloid fibrils under acidic conditions was accelerated in the liquid–liquid systems, especially in the toluene/water system. High interfacial adsorptivity of insulin monomer was confirmed by interfacial tension measurement. Fluorescence microscope observation using a thioflavine T (ThT) probe proved directly the interfacial formation and adsorption of the amyloid fibril at the dodecane/water interface. Far-UV-circular dichroism (CD) spectra of insulin in the dodecane/water system suggested the conversion of α-helix form to the β-sheet in the aqueous phase. Furthermore, the total internal reflection-induced CD measurement of the amyloid fibril–ThT complex at the dodecane/water interface led to the conclusion that the amyloid formation at the interface is faster than the conversion of α-helix form in the aqueous phase.
Dialogue-based Interaction as a Key Instrument in Actualizing Socio-personal Competence: Innovational Approaches
Authors: Богатырёва  , Bogatyreva M. 
Published: April 2015

FL communicative competence is composed of inherent components, such
as: knowledge of the means of the target language and socio-cultural context
in which these means are used. Also it implies certain skills of building
a FL discourse, which generate a culturally-significant creative speech
product. The article examines some communicative-cognitive approaches
to introduce knowledge to students. Analytical analysis of intellectual actions
with words leads researchers to the understanding that they create
cognitive retention of the material, which is then withdrawn by the speakers
from the back of their memory and used in speech. Self-organizing personalities
actualize the text based on a real situation, in the form of a discourse.
Therefore, educational environment should provide student’s immersion in
the environment of FL culture and vocationally-marked situations and problems.
This becomes possible with the network model, which involves a discussion
of personal achievements compared to the joint, collective product.
In fact, this model is highly interactive because it implements emotions and
values, interactional and ideological functions of communication.

Published: April 2015

The need for science to master the new reality inevitably involves a radical change of philosophical, methodological patterns and mechanisms of cognition. This poses a number of problems that are difficult to solve only on the basis of sound scientific methods. Required is also the use of new cognitive mechanisms, including psychological protection of man and his ability to influence the processing of the incoming information on the merits. Traditional scientific mechanisms are limited in their capabilities and therefore require an intuitive getting into the known and innovative thinking. Development of innovative thinking requires the society, which is radiating energy of creative environment, aimed at innovative transformations. Within this single concept formed a very important process, automatically pushing superconscious to the fore. The ratio of the rational and the intuitive turns a new paradigm of scientific knowledge in practice of creative noosphere, the sphere of synergy. The two systems can operate simultaneously in the operation of market institutions, providing a synergistic effect. The results of the analysis associated with the formation of innovation and cultural environment necessary for the formation and development of innovative processes in the countries and at the international level. It is noted that the combination of traditional culture and innovation and cultural environment should be assessed as the competitive advantages of the country. In the interests of achieving the unity of the individual, the people and the state play a positive role in adherence to the principles of national traditions of collectivism and catholicity.
In the transition to the path of innovative development the main component affecting the internal and external transformation of society, according to the authors, is represented by perfectly formed innovation infrastructure in innovation-cultural environment. The innovative active person should be recognized as a priority. Progressive system, that takes into account the interests of the majority rather than a particular group, increases its positive potential. This is crucial, as without it cannot be implemented models of modernization of the real sector of the Russian economy and its integration into the modern international economy. The article examines the key issues of this economic development.
Features of inheritance of some categories of residential properties
Authors: Чернякова Светлана , Chernyakova Svetlana 
Published: April 2015

The article considers the issues of inheritance of privatized dwellings with encumbered rights of citizens having the right to use the living quarters; premises in houses of housing and housing co-operatives; as well as the peculiarities of inheritance of shares in the common ownership of a dwelling.
The author points out that the inheritance of privatized premises which are individually owned, carried out in a general manner. However, there are several problems associated with inheritance. In accordance with the Family Code property received by one spouse to the gratuitous transactions, is their property. Therefore, if privatization took place in the payment of certain sums of money, in this case, there is a common joint property of the spouses; if the transfer occurred gratuitously, the subject of property rights is a person with whom the contract was made.
The question of inheritance of premises in houses of housing and housing cooperatives is studied. The specifics of the legal regulation of these relations are determined by the legal status of the cooperatives themselves. In contrast to the general rule, ownership does not arise from the state registration, and upon the payment of a contribution. Regardless of state registration and whether there is a document confirming the ownership of the dwelling, after the death of a member of the construction co-operative, who payd for shares, housing is inherited under the general procedure.
The author studies the question about the features of transactions with shares in the common ownership of dwellings and residential premises belonging to the common ownership. In accordance with para. 2, Art. 246 of the Civil Code a co-owner has the discretion to sell, give, bequeath, pledge in its share or dispose of it.
It should be borne in mind that the sale and exchange shares in the common property shall be permitted only as subject to the preemptive rights of other participants in the acquisition of such shares. Housing is not recognized as common property, when it was purchased at the actual termination of the marriage, and, consequently, the other spouse does not have any rights to housing.
External torque as a factor to modify load in abdominal curl-up exercises
Authors: Rutkowska-Kucharska Alicja , Szpala Agnieszka 
Published: April 2015

Summary
Study aim: the aim of our study was to evaluate electromyography (EMG) activity in exercises where the load to the muscles is determined by the external torque. In a part of the exercises, we changed the value of the external force, while in the other we modified the length of the lever arm at which the force was applied.

Material and methods: the study was carried out on a group of 12 subjects (21 ± 2 years, 61 ± 4.8 mass, 172 ± 5 cm height). Electromyographic activity of the rectus abdominis (RA) muscle was evaluated by recording the EMG signal. The length of the lever arm of the external force was changed by using four different positions of the upper limbs, whereas the magnitude of the external force was changed through adding the weights of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 kg. The data recorded were normalized with respect to EMG activity measured under maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) conditions.

Results: it was found that the change of the lever arm at which the force was applied (any change in the position of the upper limbs) causes a change in EMG activity in each part of the RA muscle from ca. 50% to ca. 100% MVC (p < 0.001). Further, the change in the external load changes statistically significantly the EMG activity only in the left upper part of the RA muscle (p < 0.05).

Conclusions: activity in the RA muscle that increased for longer lever arms of the external force, offers opportunities for changing the load used during the exercise in a manner that is safe for the vertebral column.
Sports as a preventive measure of at-risk behavior among urban youth: a presentation of the “Sports 2014 – Multifactorial Environmental Model”
Authors: Kulmatycki Lesław , Surynt Agnieszka 
Published: April 2015

Summary
The objective of this paper was to present an original project titled “Sports 2014 – Multifactorial Environmental Model”, designed to reinforce positive behavior and create a sense of community among urban youth. It evolved together with the subsequent phases of an urban health promotion program that began in 1994 in Wrocław, Poland. However, the basis of this model was in creating a health promotion initiative that included elements of the Mandala model of health, an ecological model, and the ‘Your Neighborhood’s Coach’ health promotion and at-risk prevention program, begun in 2003 by the Sports Department of the City of Wrocław and continued to this day. This type of initiative was designed to include measures typical of a prevention program while also promoting an active lifestyle through constructive leisure activities. Its guiding philosophy was the ‘get involved’ rather than ‘dissuade from’ approach, which has found popularity in programs of a similar nature across the world. The presented “Multifactorial Environmental Model” is addressed to active counselors, coaches, psychologists, health promotion figureheads, and policymakers whose goal is to reduce negative and anti-social behavior in today’s youth. It should also find value among the pedagogical community of physical education institutions, as the presented work may serve as a source of experience when deciding on any significant changes in the education of future physical education teachers, coaches, and recreation instructors working with adolescents.

Published: April 2015

AbstractThe aim of this study was to measure ash removal and maintenance workers’ exposure to metals, and assess the suitability of different methods to evaluate metal exposure during these work tasks. Whole-body samples and hand-washing method were used in workers’ dermal exposure assessment, and biomonitoring methods of metals in total exposure assessment. The greatest levels of Al, Pb, Cd, Cu, S, and Zn on workers’ hands were measured in recycled fuel-fired power plants. The median concentrations of lead on workers’ whole-body samples were 4.5 ng/cm2, 17.0 ng/cm2, 11.3 ng/cm2, and 58.4 ng/cm2 in pellet-, peat-, wood- and recycled fuel-fired power plants, respectively. In recycled fuel-fired power plants, workers’ excretions of Al, Pb, and Mn exceeded the reference values of non-exposed population in 33%, 100%, and 50% of samples, respectively. The dermal exposure results clearly showed that power plant ash can significantly contaminate workers’ hands and bodies. The fact that the workers’ urinary excretions of metals exceeded the reference values proved intake of metals during these work tasks. Biomonitoring methods take into account exposures from different sources and, due to that, they are the most recommended approach for estimating the total metal exposure of workers. Hand-washing and whole body sampling were the most recommendable methods for assessing the protection efficiency of gloves and coveralls.
Soil biological characteristics and microbial community structure in a field experiment
Authors: Mikanová Olga , Šimon Tomáš , Kopecký Jan , Ságová-Marečková Markéta 
Published: April 2015

Abstract
The influence of different fertilization
treatments on soil biological characteristics and microbial
community structure was investigated. Soil samples
were taken from a long-term field experiment which
was conducted to explore the effect of eight treatments:
control (non-fertilized), NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus and
potassium), FYM (farmyard manure), FYM + NPK, CSl +
St (cattle slurry + straw), CSl + St + NPK, CSl, CSl + NPK.
The highest values of invertase activity were found in
treatment fertilized with farmyard manure combined
mineral fertilizers, similarly to total N content, activity
of urease, and C of microbial biomass. Dehydrogenase
activity was lower in all treatments with mineral
fertilization. Bacterial and actinobacterial T-RFLP profiles
of 16S rRNA genes showed similar patterns in response to
eight fertilization treatments. In both, the communities
formed distinct groups, which were separated by organic
fertilization i.e. cattle slurry and straw amendments along
the x axes and by NPK amendments along the y axes
using the Sammon’s method of multidimensional scaling.
Significant correlations were determined in several
situations related to diversity: between invertase and 1/Db
(dominance, bacteria), 1/Da (dominance, actinobacteria)
and between T-RFLP profiles of actinobacteria, nitrogen
and organic carbon content and bacterial E (evenness).
