Published: August 2014

Abstract
Baddeleyite as inclusions in zircon crystals is described for the first time from the ore zone of the Azov zirconium-rare-earth deposit in the Volodarsky (Pivdennokalchytsky) syenite Massif in the Ukrainian Shield. The main admixture in the zircon containing baddeleyite is hafnium (0.68 wt%). The baddeleyite occurs in a substance that fills cracks and that probably corresponds to glass. The chemical compositions of four baddeleyite segregations, and of the hosting glass, are presented. The baddeleyite formed as a result of interaction between zircon and silicate melt with a low SiO2 content. The silicate melt formed under the influence of highthermobaric CO2-fluid flows on the rock.

Published: August 2014

Abstract
The enzymatic deamination of 5-fl uorotryptamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT, catalysed by enzyme monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A, EC 1.4.3.4) was investigated using the kinetic (KIE) and solvent (SIE) isotope effects methods. The numerical values of deuterium isotope effects in the (1R) positions of 5-F-tryptamine were determined using non-competitive spectrophotomeric method. Isotopologue 5-F-[(1R)- -2H]-tryptamine, needed for kinetic studies was obtained by enzymatic decarboxylation of 5´-fl uoro-L-tryptophan, 5´-F-L-Trp, in fully deuteriated medium.
New Records for The Solenogaster Proneomenia Sluiteri (Mollusca) from Icelandic Waters and Description of Proneomenia Custodiens sp. n.

Published: August 2014

Abstract
During August–September 2011, scientists aboard the R/V Meteor sampled marine animals around Iceland for the IceAGE project (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology). The last sample was taken at a site known as “The Rose Garden” off northeastern Iceland and yielded a large number of two species of Proneomenia (Mollusca, Aplacophora, Solenogastres, Cavibelonia, Proneomeniidae). We examined isolated sclerites, radulae, and histological section series for both species. The first, Proneomenia sluiteri Hubrecht, 1880, was originally described from the Barents Sea. This is the first record of this species in Icelandic waters. However, examination of aplacophoran lots collected during the earlier BIOICE campaign revealed additional Icelandic localities from which this species was collected previously. The second represents a new species of Proneomenia, which, unlike other known representatives of the genus, broods juveniles in the mantle cavity. We provide a formal description, proposing the name Proneomenia custodiens sp. n. Interestingly, the sclerites of brooded juveniles are scales like those found in the putatively plesiomorphic order Pholidoskepia rather than hollow needles like those of the adults of this species. Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA barcode sequences are provided for both species of Proneomenia.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to improve treatment results and SSI prevention by differential usage of the contemporary suture materials and choice of proper suturing technique. To simulate suturing process and compared two suturing techniques, two FE models were developed. Finite-element analysis (FEA) was based on experimental data of contemporary commercial sutures and soft tissue properties. We applied obtained results for abdominal wall closure in rats and compared non-absorbable suture (capron) with absorbable suture (PDS Plus) for chosen technique. Cross-sections were examined by lighting electron microscope. Afterwards, the results of patients’ treatment are also presented. It was shown that running sew was more appropriate for aponeurosis suturing compared to interrupted sew. The optimal parameters of suturing techniques were computed. Single-row running sew by PDS Plus was proved to hold wound edges for 90 days with less inflammatory response compared to other suture in the result of histological analysis. Application of contemporary synthetic absorbable suture materials with antibacterial coating for laparotomic wounds closure and anastomosis decreases local inflammatory reaction and provides the successful tissue regeneration. Application of advanced SSI prophylactics algorithm was shown to decrease risk of post-operative suppurative complications from 14.2 to 1.6 %.

Published: August 2014

Abstract
Eosinophilia is characterized by more than 0.5 × 109 eosinophils per liter in the full blood count. A wide range of conditions, from asthma to parasitic infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain forms of cancer, have been known to trigger abnormally high amount of eosinophils. It is essential to reach the correct diagnosis and treat the underlying disease aggresively. Definition of the eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome was offered in 1980s by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for surveillance purposes, and criteria were revised in 2001, with high specificity. We report a case of 59-year old female who started a special weight-reducing diet regimen that included excessive cashew nut ingestion. Several months after she has presented with periferal blood eosinophilia and constitutional symptoms. Detailed work-up has not found elements for haematological, systemic autoimmune, neoplastic or infectious disease. She was diagnosed with eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome due to extreme L-tryptophan intake, a compound found in the cashew nut’s oil. She responded well to cashew nut withdrawal and steroid therapy. In the follow-up period she remained stable with normal eosinophil count and there was not a need for any specific therapy.
Management and Prevention of Bone Stress Injuries in Long-Distance Runners
Authors: Warden Stuart J. , Davis Irene S. , Fredericson Michael 
Published: August 2014

Synopsis Bone stress injury (BSI) represents the inability of bone to withstand repetitive loading, which results in structural fatigue and localized bone pain and tenderness. A BSI occurs along a pathology continuum that begins with a stress reaction, which can progress to a stress fracture and, ultimately, a complete bone fracture. Bone stress injuries are a source of concern in long-distance runners, not only because of their frequency and the morbidity they cause but also because of their tendency to recur. While most BSIs readily heal following a period of modified loading and a progressive return to running activities, the high recurrence rate of BSIs signals a need to address their underlying causative factors. A BSI results from disruption of the homeostasis between microdamage formation and its removal. Microdamage accumulation and subsequent risk for development of a BSI are related both to the load applied to a bone and to the ability of the bone to resist load. The former is more amenable to intervention and may be modified by interventions aimed at training-program design, reducing impact-related forces (eg, instructing an athlete to run “softer” or with a higher stride rate), and increasing the strength and/or endurance of local musculature (eg, strengthening the calf for tibial BSIs and the foot intrinsics for BSIs of the metatarsals). Similarly, malalignments and abnormal movement patterns should be explored and addressed. The current commentary discusses management and prevention of BSIs in runners. In doing so, information is provided on the pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors, clinical diagnosis, and classification of BSIs. Level of Evidence Therapy, level 5.

Published: August 2014

Study Design Case-control laboratory study. Objectives To compare tendon characteristics (shape, composition) and mechanical properties (strain, stiffness) on the involved side of participants with insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT) to the uninvolved side and to controls, and to examine if severity of tendon pathology is associated with severity of symptoms during function. Background Despite the severity and chronicity of IAT, the quality of theoretical evidence available to guide the development of exercise interventions is low. While tendon pathology of midportion Achilles tendinopathy has been described, there are few studies specific to IAT. Methods Twenty individuals with unilateral IAT and 20 age- and sex-matched controls volunteered to participate. Ultrasound imaging was used to quantify changes in tendon shape (diameter) and composition (echogenicity). A combination of ultrasound and dynamometry was used to measure tendon mechanical properties (strain and stiffness) during passive ankle rotation toward dorsiflexion. Generalized estimating equations were used to examine the association between IAT, alterations in tendon properties, and participant demographics. Pearson correlation was used to examine the association between severity of tendon pathology and severity of symptoms (Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Achilles). Results The side with IAT had a larger tendon diameter (P<.001), lower echogenicity (P<.001), higher strain (P = .011), and lower stiffness (P = .007) compared to the side without IAT and the controls. On the involved side of participants with IAT, a lower echogenicity correlated with higher severity of symptoms (r = 0.603, P = .010). Conclusion Ultrasound imaging combined with dynamometry can discriminate alterations in tendon shape, composition, and mechanics in participants with IAT. Future clinical trials for IAT may consider strategies to alter tendon characteristics and restore tendon mechanics. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2014;44(9):680–689.

Lower-Limb Muscular Strategies for Increasing Running Speed
Authors: Schache Anthony G. , Dorn Tim W. , Williams Gavin P. , Brown Nicholas A.T. , Pandy Marcus G. 
Published: August 2014

Synopsis This clinical commentary discusses the mechanisms used by the lower-limb musculature to achieve faster running speeds. A variety of methodological approaches have been taken to evaluate lower-limb muscle function during running, including direct recordings of muscle electromyographic signal, inverse dynamics-based analyses, and computational musculoskeletal modeling. Progressing running speed from jogging to sprinting is mostly dependent on ankle and hip muscle performance. For speeds up to approximately 7.0 m/s, the dominant strategy is to push on the ground forcefully to increase stride length, and the major ankle plantar flexors (soleus and gastrocnemius) have a particularly important role in this regard. At speeds beyond approximately 7.0 m/s, the force-generating capacity of these muscles becomes less effective. Therefore, as running speed is progressed toward sprinting, the dominant strategy shifts toward the goal of increasing stride frequency and pushing on the ground more frequently. This strategy is achieved by generating substantially more power at the hip joint, thereby increasing the biomechanical demand on proximal lower-limb muscles such as the iliopsoas, gluteus maximus, rectus femoris, and hamstrings. Basic science knowledge regarding lower-limb muscle function during running has implications for understanding why sprinting performance declines with age. It is also of great value to the clinician for designing rehabilitation programs to restore running ability in young, previously active adults who have sustained a traumatic brain injury and have severe impairments of muscle function (eg, weakness, spasticity, poor motor control) that limit their capacity to run at any speed.

Somaclonal Variation in Potato (<i>Solanum tuberosum</i> L.) Using Chemical Mutagens
Authors: Hoque ME , Morshad MN 
Published: August 2014

An experiment was conducted with three popular potato varieties viz. Cardinal, Diamant and Asterix to create somaclonal variation in potato. The chemical mutagens viz. Ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS), Methyl methane sulphonate (MMS), 5-Bromo Uracil (BU) and 2,4-D were used in three different concentration (1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 mg/L). Among them only 2,4-D regenerated callus in potato. Higher concentration (4.0 mg/L) of 2,4-D showed variant type of callus, which regenerated abnormal plantlet and some of the plantlets died within 45 days after inoculation. The higher concentration (4.0 mg/L) of EMS, MMS and BU showed huge abnormality on in vitro regeneration in all three varieties of potato. Thin stem, deformed shoot development and very less leaf formation were observed in 2.0 mg/L and 4.0 mg/L of EMS, MMS and BU. Due to toxic effect some of the plantlets died. The mutagen treated variants were acclimatized in plastic tray and subsequently in the field condition. It was noticed that, only 37.16% plants survived in natural field condition. Morphological characterization and yield potentiality of all somaclones were studied. It revealed that only one variants viz. SVP-53 showed higher yield as compared with two check varieties. The first generation mini tubers were kept for further research. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/agric.v12i1.19572 The Agriculturists 2014; 12(1) 15-25

The kingdom of heaven and Matthew 10
Authors: Scholtz Jacob J. 
Published: August 2014

This article proposes that the mission discourse in Matthew 10 is a single mission assignment that covers two distinct time periods when the gospel of the kingdom is preached. This assignment commenced during Christ’s first advent when the 12 apostles preached the gospel of the kingdom only in Israel. However, as a result of ‘this generation’ committing the unpardonable sin, this assignment became postponed until it will be resumed in the Tribulation when the coming King will authorise Jewish messengers to preach the gospel of the kingdom again – this time as a witness to all the nations. Based on this view of the mission discourse in Matthew 10, this article proposes a chiastic structure for Matthew 9:36−11:1a. Each section of this text will then be briefly discussed. Although the Church can make applications from this discourse, it is argued that Matthew 10:5b−42 does not refer to the Church age.Die koninkryk van die hemele en Matteus 10. Hierdie artikel bespreek die sendingdiskoers in Matteus 10 en beweer dat dit ’n enkele sendingopdrag is wat twee diskrete tydperiodes dek wanneer die evangelie van die koninkryk verkondig is. Hierdie sendingopdrag is tydens Christus se eerste koms aan die 12 apostels gegee om die evangelie van die koninkryk net in Israel te verkondig. Omdat ‘hierdie geslag’ die onvergeeflike sonde gedoen het, is hierdie sendingopdrag uitgestel en sal hervat word tydens die Verdrukking wanneer die komende Koning Joodse boodskappers sal magtig om weer die evangelie van die koninkryk te verkondig – hierdie keer tot getuienis vir al die nasies. Hierdie artikel stel ’n chiastiese struktuur vir Matteus 9:36−11:1a voor wat gebaseer is op hierdie siening van die sendingdiskoers in Matteus 10. Daarna word elke afdeling van die teks kortliks bespreek. Alhoewel die Kerk toepassings uit hierdie diskoers kan maak, word geargumenteer dat Matteus 10:5b−42 nie na die Kerk-era verwys nie.

Dentre os métodos que vêm sendo testados para minimizar a lixiviação de compostos de boro na madeira, destaca-se sua combinação com taninos vegetais. Aos taninos vegetais é atribuída a durabilidade natural da madeira de algumas espécies, indicando sua potencialidade como preservativo natural. Neste estudo, avaliou-se o rendimento de taninos condensados provenientes da casca de Mimosa tenuiflora em extração realizada com água destilada, comparando-o ao da extração envolvendo a inclusão de sulfito de sódio, assim como a eficiência de extratos tânicos sulfitados, combinados ou não com ácido bórico, na melhoria da resistência da madeira de Ceiba pentandra ao térmita xilófago Nasutitermes corniger, por meio de ensaio de preferência alimentar. Extrato tânico obtido com a inclusão de sulfito de sódio à água teve melhor rendimento em taninos condensados. De maneira geral, a impregnação da madeira com o extrato tânico sulfitado proporcionou o mesmo comportamento quando comparada à aplicação do ácido bórico, sendo os melhores resultados verificados quando ambos foram utilizados conjuntamente. No entanto, depois de aplicado na madeira, o extrato tânico foi lixiviado e não favoreceu a redução da lixiviação do ácido bórico. Apesar da potencialidade do uso do extrato tânico ao cupim xilófago, estudos adicionais fazem-se necessários.Palavras-chave: Biodeterioração da madeira; térmitas xilófagos; Nasutitermes corniger. AbstractTannic extract efficiency combined or not with boric acid on protection of Ceiba pentandra wood against xylophagous termite. Among the methods tested to reduce the leaching of boron compounds in wood, it can be highlighted their combination with vegetable tannins. It is attributed the natural durability of some species of wood to vegetable tannins, pointing to their potentiality as natural wood preservatives. This research evaluated the efficiency of condensed tannins from bark of Mimosa tenuiflora extract with distilled water, compared to another extract added of sodium sulfite. It also evaluated the efficiency of sulfited tannin extracts, combined or not with boric acid in order to improve the resistance of Ceiba pentandra against the xylophagous termite Nasutitermes corniger by feeding test. Tannic extract obtained by adding sodium sulfite to distilled water revealed better yield compared to condensed tannin extraction. In general, impregnation of wood with tannin extract presented the same behavior as compared to application of boric acid, with best results observed when both them were simultaneously used. However, after applied to wood, tannin extracted was leachable and it did not favor the boric acid leaching. Despite the potential use of tannic extract against the xylophagous termite, additional studies are required for a best evaluation.Keywords: Wood biodeterioration; xilophogous termites; Nasutitermes corniger.
