Abstract

Background
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been believed to be related with chemotherapy resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Recent studies have suggested eIF5A-2 may function as a proliferation-related oncogene in tumorigenic processes.

Methods
We used cell viability assays, western blotting, immunofluorescence, transwell-matrigel invasion assay, wound-healing assay combined with GC7 (a novel eIF5A-2 inhibitor) treatment or siRNA interference to investigate the role of eIF5A-2 playing in NSCLC chemotherapy.

Results
We found low concentrations of GC7 have little effect on NSCLC viability, but could enhance cisplatin cytotoxicity in NSCLC cells. GC7 also could reverse mesenchymal phenotype in NCI-H1299 and prevented A549 cells undergoing EMT after TGF-β1 inducement. eIF5A-2 knockdown resulted in EMT inhibition.

Conclusion
Our data indicated GC7 enhances cisplatin cytotoxicity and prevents the EMT in NSCLC cells by inhibiting eIF5A-2.
Every reason to discontinue lithium

Published: November 2014

AbstractLithium as a gold standard therapy for bipolar disorder is well known to have a number of medical comorbidities that impact renal, parathyroid, and thyroid function. Despite these medical comorbidities, there remains a group of lithium-responsive lithium-treated patients who have maintained mood stability for decades. The risk/benefit ratio of end organ toxicity/mood stability must be evaluated in each individual case.

Published: November 2014

Abstract
Iron oxygenases mimicking active sites have been constructed on the solid support by anchoring a bis(imidazolyl)borate ligand to carboxylate-functionalized SBA-15 type mesoporous silica gels. Initial loading amounts of an organocarboxylic acid modifier on the silicates affect the hydrocarbon oxygenation catalyses with H2O2 due to changing of the structures of the surface metallocomplex active sites.

Porous metal metaphyseal cones for severe bone loss
Authors: Lachiewicz P. F. , Watters T. S. 
Published: November 2014

Metaphyseal bone loss is common with revision total knee replacement (RTKR). Using the Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute (AORI) classification, type 2-B and type 3 defects usually require large metal blocks, bulk structural allograft or highly porous metal cones. Tibial and femoral trabecular metal metaphyseal cones are a unique solution for large bone defects. These cones substitute for bone loss, improve metaphyseal fixation, help correct malalignment, restore the joint line and may permit use of a shorter stem. The technique for insertion involves sculpturing of the remaining bone with a high speed burr and rasp, followed by press-fit of the cone into the metaphysis. The fixation and osteoconductive properties of the porous cone outer surface allow ingrowth and encourage long-term biological fixation. The revision knee component is then cemented into the porous cone inner surface, which provides superior fixation compared with cementing into native but deficient metaphyseal bone. The advantages of the cone compared with allograft include: technical ease, biological fixation, no resorption, and possibly a lower risk of infection. The disadvantages include: difficult extraction and relatively short-term follow-up. Several studies using cones report promising short-term results for the reconstruction of large bone defects in RTKR. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2014;96-B(11 Suppl A):118–21.
Avoiding patellar complications in total knee replacement
Authors: Russell R. D. , Huo M. H. , Jones R. E. 
Published: November 2014

Patellofemoral complications are common after total knee replacement (TKR). Leaving the patellar unsurfaced after TKR may lead to complications such as anterior knee pain, and re-operation to surface it. Complications after patellar resurfacing include patellar fracture, aseptic loosening, patellar instability, polyethylene wear, patellar clunk and osteonecrosis. Historically, patellar complications account for one of the larger proportions of causes of failure in TKR, however, with contemporary implant designs, complication rates have decreased. Most remaining failures relate to patellofemoral tracking. Understanding the causes of patellofemoral maltracking is essential to prevent these complications as well as manage them when they occur.Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2014;96-B(11 Suppl A):84–6.
The challenge of methicillin resistant staphylococcal infection after total hip replacement
Authors: Parry M. C. , Duncan C. P. 
Published: November 2014

Advances in the treatment of periprosthetic joint infections of the hip have once more pushed prosthesis preserving techniques into the limelight. At the same time, the common infecting organisms are evolving to become more resistant to conventional antimicrobial agents. Whilst the epidemiology of resistant staphylococci is changing, a number of recent reports have advocated the use of irrigation and debridement and one-stage revision for the treatment of periprosthetic joint infections due to resistant organisms. This review presents the available evidence for the treatment of periprosthetic joint infections of the hip, concentrating in particular on methicillin resistant staphylococci.Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2014;96-B(11 Suppl A):60–5.
Soft-tissue and alignment correction
Authors: Gustke K. A. 
Published: November 2014

Total knee replacement (TKR) smart tibial trials have load-bearing sensors which will show quantitative compartment pressure values and femoral-tibial tracking patterns. Without smart trials, surgeons rely on feel and visual estimation of imbalance to determine if the knee is optimally balanced. Corrective soft-tissue releases are performed with minimal feedback as to what and how much should be released. The smart tibial trials demonstrate graphically where and how much imbalance is present, so that incremental releases can be performed. The smart tibial trials now also incorporate accelerometers which demonstrate the axial alignment. This now allows the surgeon the option to perform a slight recut of the tibia or femur to provide soft-tissue balance without performing soft-tissue releases. Using a smart tibial trial to assist with soft-tissue releases or bone re-cuts, improved patient outcomes have been demonstrated at one year in a multicentre study of 135 patients (135 knees).Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2014;96-B(11 Suppl A):78–83.
Partial two-stage exchange of the infected total hip replacement using disposable spacer moulds
Authors: Lombardi Jr A. V. , Berend K. R. , Adams J. B. 
Published: November 2014

The common recommended treatment for infected total hip replacement is two-staged exchange including removal of all components. However, removal of well-fixed femoral stems can result in structural bone damage. We recently reported on an alternative treatment of partial two-stage exchange used in selected cases, in which a well-fixed femoral stem was left and only the acetabular component removed, the joint space was debrided thoroughly, an antibiotic-laden polymethylmethacrylate spacer was moulded using a bulb-type syringe and placed in the acetabulum, intravenous antibiotics were administered during the interval, and delayed re-implantation was performed. In 19 patients treated with this technique from January 2000 to January 2011, 89% were free of infection at a mean follow-up of four years (2 to 11). Since then, disposable silicone moulds have become available to fabricate spacers in separate femoral and head units. The head spacer mould, which incorporates various neck taper adapter options, greatly facilitates the technique of partial two-stage exchange. We report our early experience using disposable silicone head spacer moulds for partial two-stage exchange in seven patients with infected primary hip replacements.

Metal-on-metal hip surface replacement
Authors: Dunbar M. J. , Prasad V. , Weerts B. , Richardson G. 
Published: November 2014

Metal-on-metal resurfacing of the hip (MoMHR) has enjoyed a resurgence in the last decade, but is now again in question as a routine option for osteoarthritis of the hip. Proponents of hip resurfacing suggest that its survival is superior to that of conventional hip replacement (THR), and that hip resurfacing is less invasive, is easier to revise than THR, and provides superior functional outcomes. Our argument serves to illustrate that none of these proposed advantages have been realised and new and unanticipated serious complications, such as pseudotumors, have been associated with the procedure. As such, we feel that the routine use of MoMHR is not justified. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2014;96-B(11 Suppl A):17–21.

The Effects of Smoking Cessation on Weight Gain: New Evidence Using Workplace Smoking Bans
Authors: Fletcher Jason M. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Both tobacco use and obesity are among the most important and costly health challenges faced in developed countries. Unfortunately, they may be inversely linked. While policy interventions that have placed limits on tobacco use have increased substantially over time, one unintended consequence may be to increase obesity rates. Issues of selection and unobserved heterogeneity make it difficult to empirically assess the relationship between the two health outcomes. Additionally, there may be heterogeneous policy effects by cessation cause – smoking bans or medical treatments or tobacco prices. This paper focuses on the effects of a rapidly expanding policy by using within-individual differences in exposure to workplace smoking bans to estimate the impact of smoking cessation on weight gain using a large study of over 5000 White and Black respondents followed since 1986. Findings suggest that individuals affected by the smoking bans gained more weight in the short-term than suggested by OLS estimates.

AbstractThe paper discusses methods of historical semantics (word semantics and conceptual semantics). The example of Max Weber's concept ‹Geist› will show means by which the linguistic description of complex semantic phenomena (transcending the level of single words) can be captured and described. Based on the original works of Max Weber, the concept ‹Geist› will be approached in three steps: investigation of the single word (the lexeme)

ABSTRACTPartially due to their lack of periodic structure, quasicrystals have inherently low thermal conductivity on the order of 1 - 3 W/m-K. AlPdMn quasicrystals exhibit favorable room temperature values of electrical conductivity, 500–800 (Ω-cm)-1, and thermopower, 80 μV/K, with respect to thermoelectric applications. In an effort to further increase the thermopower and hopefully minimize the thermal conductivity via phonon scattering, quartenary Al71Pd21Mn8-XReX quasicrystals were grown. X-ray data confirms that the addition of a fourth element does not alter the quasiperiodicity of the sample. Al71Pd21Mn8-XReX quasicrystals of varying Re concentration were synthesized where x had values of 0, 0.08, 0.25, 0.4, 0.8, 2, 5, 6, and 8. Both thermal and electrical transport property measurements have been performed and are reported.
Glufosinate Tolerance of Multiple WideStrike and Liberty‐Link Cotton (Gosspyium hirsutum L.) Cultivars
Authors: Sweeney J. A. , Jones M. A. 
Published: November 2014

ABSTRACTOne option available to cotton (Gosspyium hirsutum L.) producers for control of glyphosate [N‐(phosphonomethyl)glycine]–resistant (GR) weeds is the use of glufosinate [(2RS)‐2‐amino‐4‐[hydroxy(methyl)phosphinoyl]butyric acid] (Liberty 280SL, 24.5% [w/v] glufosinate‐ammonium salt) in glufosinate‐tolerant, transgenic cotton cultivars. A field experiment conducted in 2011 and 2012 in Florence, SC, examined the effects of glufosinate on the growth, lint yield, and fiber quality of WideStrike and Liberty‐Link cotton cultivars. Five WideStrike cultivars and three Liberty‐Link cultivars were sprayed topically at the 1‐ to 3‐leaf stage and the 7‐ to 9‐leaf stage with glufosinate at 0.59 kg ha−1. Glufosinate‐ and weed‐free plots were maintained as controls for each cultivar. Reduced plant health and increased leaf injury were observed in both Liberty‐Link and WideStrike cultivars following glufosinate applications, but sprayed WideStrike cultivars displayed as much as 11% greater leaf injury than sprayed Liberty‐Link cultivars. No differences in lint yield were found between sprayed WideStrike or Liberty‐Link cultivars and their respective controls. However, averaged across all cultivars, lint yield of cotton sprayed with glufosinate was 105 kg ha−1 greater than unsprayed cotton. Yield increases of sprayed cotton appeared to be related to increased boll production at the first fruiting position and between nodes 11 and 15. Glufosinate had no effect on any fiber property evaluated. Cotton producers planting WideStrike or Liberty‐Link cotton cultivars and using glufosinate at labeled rates can adequately control GR weeds without negatively affecting lint yield or fiber quality. Cotton producers may also possibly experience slight lint yield increases as a result of glufosinate application in WideStrike and Liberty‐Link cotton cultivars.
Takagi Sugeno fuzzy expert model based soft fault diagnosis for two tank interacting system
Authors: Manikandan Pandiyan , Geetha Mani 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
The inherent characteristics of fuzzy logic theory make it suitable for fault detection and diagnosis (FDI). Fault detection can benefit from nonlinear fuzzy modeling and fault diagnosis can profit from a transparent reasoning system, which can embed operator experience, but also learn from experimental and/or simulation data. Thus, fuzzy logic-based diagnostic is advantageous since it allows the incorporation of a-priori knowledge and lets the user understand the inference of the system. In this paper, the successful use of a fuzzy FDI based system, based on dynamic fuzzy models for fault detection and diagnosis of an industrial two tank system is presented. The plant data is used for the design and validation of the fuzzy FDI system. The validation results show the effectiveness of this approach.
Handling uncertainty of resource division in multi agent system using game against nature
Authors: Skrzypczyk Krzysztof , Mellado Martin 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of resource division for robotic agents in the framework of Multi-Agent System. Knowledge of the environment represented in the system is uncertain, incomplete and distributed among the individual agents that have both limited sensing and communication abilities. The pick-up-and-collection problem is considered in order to illustrate the idea presented. In this paper a framework for cooperative task assignment to individual agents is discussed. The process of negotiating access to common resources by intercommunicating agents is modeled and solved as a game against Nature. The working of the proposed system was verified by multiple simulations. Selected, exemplary simulations are presented in the paper to illustrate the approach discussed

Published: November 2014

Abstract
In this research work, a six-term 3-D novel jerk chaotic system with two hyperbolic sinusoidal nonlinearities has been proposed, and its qualitative properties have been detailed. The Lyapunov exponents of the novel jerk system are obtained as L1 = 0.07765,L2 = 0, and L3 = −0.87912. The Kaplan-Yorke dimension of the novel jerk system is obtained as DKY = 2.08833. Next, an adaptive backstepping controller is designed to stabilize the novel jerk chaotic system with two unknown parameters. Moreover, an adaptive backstepping controller is designed to achieve complete chaos synchronization of the identical novel jerk chaotic systems with two unknown parameters. Finally, an electronic circuit realization of the novel jerk chaotic system using Spice is presented in detail to confirm the feasibility of the theoretical model
Effects of High Pressure ORE Grinding on the Efficiency of Flotation Operations
Authors: Saramak Daniel , Krawczykowska Aldona , Młynarczykowska Anna 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
This article discusses issues related to the impact of the high pressure comminution process on the efficiency of the copper ore flotation operations. HPGR technology improves the efficiency of mineral resource enrichment through a better liberation of useful components from waste rock as well as more efficient comminution of the material. Research programme included the run of a laboratory flotation process for HPGR crushing products at different levels of operating pressures and moisture content. The test results showed that products of the high-pressure grinding rolls achieved better recoveries in flotation processes and showed a higher grade of useful components in the flotation concentrate, in comparison to the ball mill products. Upgrading curves have also been marked in the following arrangement: the content of useful component in concentrate the floatation recovery. All upgrading curves for HPGR products had a more favourable course in comparison to the curves of conventionally grinded ore. The results also indicate that various values of flotation recoveries have been obtained depending on the machine operating parameters (i.e. the operating pressure), and selected feed properties (moisture).

Published: November 2014

Abstract
The article presents a proposal of methodology based on the process of relationship marketing, serving to determine the level of demand for coal in the individual customer segment, as well as fuel distribution model for this customer group in Poland developed on the basis of this methodology. It also includes selected results of tests carried out using the proposed methods. These proposals have been defined on the basis of market capacity indicators, which can be determined for the district level based on data from the Polish Central Statistical Office. The study also included the use of linear programming, based on the cost of coal logistics, data concerning railway, road and storage infrastructure present on the Polish market and taking into account the legal aspects. The presented results may provide a basis for mining companies to develop a system of coal distribution management in the locations with the highest demand values.
