Published: March 2015

Background: Use of misoprostol in term pregnancy can give some adverse result. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to see the neonatal outcome among the term pregnant women. Methodology: This cohort study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Sir Salimullah Medical College and Mitford Hospital during the period from 1st September 2005 to 28th February 2006. Primi or second gravida patients with the gestational age between 37 weeks to 42 weeks in singleton pregnancy with cephalic presentation and not in labour who came for delivery purposes during the study period at any age were selected as study population. After proper selection of the cases, induction of labour (IOL) was done by applying Tab Misoprostol 50mcg in the posterior vaginal fornix. Purpose of induction of labour was successful when vaginal delivery occurred without any untoward side effects and without any surgical interference and with good APGAR score of the newborn. Result: A total number of 60 pregnant women were recruited in this study. 60% patients were within 23-30 years of age. This table shows that out of 43 cases of vaginal delivery 22 cases needed 1 dose of Misoprostol 21 cases needed more than 1 dose. This table shows that all the baby were live born. Among them 55 (92%) baby were healthy and 5 (8%) baby were asphyxiated. the depressed babies were well after resuscitation in usual manner and after 5" mean Apgar score was 9.46. Mean birth weight was 2.94 kg. Conclusion: There is no perinatal death in the misoprostol induced delivery; however, neonatal asphyxia is found in few cases as an adverse outcome.Journal of Current and Advance Medical Research 2015;2(1):3-6DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jcamr.v2i1.22579
Smilax(Smilacaceae) from the Miocene of western Eurasia with Caribbean biogeographic affinities
Authors: Denk Thomas , Velitzelos Dimitrios , Güner H. Tuncay , Ferrufino‐Acosta Lilian 
Published: March 2015

•Premise of the study:Recent molecular studies provide a phylogenetic framework and some dated nodes for the monocot genusSmilax. The Caribbean Havanensis group ofSmilaxis part of a well‐supported “New World clade” with a few disjunct taxa in the Old World. Although the fossil record of the genus is rich, it has been difficult to assign fossil taxa to extant groups based on their preserved morphological characters.•Methods:Leaf fossils from Europe and Asia Minor were studied comparatively and put into a phylogenetic and biogeographic context using a molecular phylogeny of the genus.•Key results:Fossils from the early Miocene of Anatolia represent a new species ofSmilaxwith systematic affinities with the Havanensis group. The leaf type encountered in the fossil species is exclusively found in species of the Havanensis group among all modernSmilax. Scattered fossils of this type from the Miocene of Greece and Austria, previously referred toQuercus(Fagaceae),Ilex(Aquifoliaceae), andMahonia(Berberidaceae) also belong to the new species.•Conclusions:The newSmilaxprovides first fossil evidence of the Havanensis group and proves that this group had a western Eurasian distribution during the Miocene. The age of the fossils is in good agreement with the (molecular‐based) purported split between the Havanensis and Hispida groups withinSmilax. The MioceneSmilaxprovides evidence that all four subclades within the “New World clade” had a disjunct intercontinental distribution during parts of the Neogene involving trans‐Atlantic crossings (via floating islands or the North Atlantic land bridge) and the Beringia land bridge.
A Case of Allergic Dermatitis after Self-Treatment with Propolis: Case Report
Authors: Fida Monika , Kellici Suela , Hoxha Mehmet , Qirko Etleva 
Published: March 2015

Background:Â Propolis or bee-glue is used as adjuvant in the therapy because of its antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, anesthetic and antibacterial properties. Propolis is found in a number of products such as cosmetics, shampoos, toothpastes, lip balms, creams and ointments. In dermatology propolis has been used for wound healing, treatment of ulcers and eczema, and regeneration of the skin. The sensitizing properties of propolis have been reported in the literature.Aim: The aim of this study was to present a case of allergic contact dermatitis after self-treatment with propolis.Methods: We report a case of 46 years old man who presented severe vesiculo-bullous elements on the leg after the treatment with bee-glue for the eczematous elements.Results: The diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis to propolis was confirmed due to patch tests.Conclusions: Here we show that allergic contact dermatitis from propolis should be taken in consideration if an allergic reaction is evident. Dermatologists and general physicians should be aware of propolis as an important allergen that can cause Allergic Contact Dermatitis. The therapeutic use of propolis should be performed under medical advisory.
Ambient light intensity and direction determine relative attractiveness of yellow traps toRhagoletis indifferens(Diptera: Tephritidae)
Authors: Yee W.L. 
Published: March 2015

AbstractUnderstanding factors that influence attraction of tephritid fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) to objects can lead to development of more sensitive traps for fly detection. Here, the objective was to determine if differences in attractiveness between two sticky yellow rectangle traps to western cherry fruit fly,Rhagoletis indifferensCurran, depend on ambient light intensity and direction. The translucent plastic Yellow Sticky Strip (YSS) was compared with the less translucent yellow cardboard Alpha Scents (AS). Flies were released inside a box or cage opposite a trap or traps illuminated from outside at different intensities to generate variable light passage. Regardless of type, the trap with greatest light passage was most attractive. When the same light intensity was shone on both traps, the YSS, which allowed greater light passage, was more attractive than the AS. When the light was inside a cage and shone onto the two traps in the same direction as approaching flies, the AS reflected more light and was more attractive. A field experiment generally supported light passage effects seen in the laboratory. Results suggest trap placement with respect to sunlight intensity and direction affects light passage and the attractiveness of yellow traps toR. indifferens.

Abstract
Although IL-18 has not previously been shown to promote T lymphopoiesis, results obtained via a novel data mining algorithm (global microarray meta-analysis) led us to explore a predicted role for this cytokine in T cell development. IL-18 is a member of the IL-1 cytokine family that has been extensively characterized as a mediator of inflammatory immune responses. To assess a potential role for IL-18 in T cell development, we sort-purified mouse bone marrow–derived common lymphoid progenitor cells, early thymic progenitors (ETPs), and double-negative 2 thymocytes and cultured these populations on OP9–Delta-like 4 stromal layers in the presence or absence of IL-18 and/or IL-7. After 1 wk of culture, IL-18 promoted proliferation and accelerated differentiation of ETPs to the double-negative 3 stage, similar in efficiency to IL-7. IL-18 showed synergy with IL-7 and enhanced proliferation of both the thymus-derived progenitor cells and the bone marrow–derived common lymphoid progenitor cells. The synergistic effect on the ETP population was further characterized and found to correlate with increased surface expression of c-Kit and IL-7 receptors on the IL-18–treated cells. In summary, we successfully validated the global microarray meta-analysis prediction that IL-18 affects T lymphopoiesis and demonstrated that IL-18 can positively impact bone marrow lymphopoiesis and T cell development, presumably via interaction with the c-Kit and IL-7 signaling axis.
Minimal Sequence Requirements for Oligodeoxyribonucleotides Activating Human TLR9

Published: March 2015

Abstract
Synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) containing CpG (unmethylated deoxycytidylyl-deoxyguanosine dinucleotide) motifs activate endosomal TLR9. The nucleotide sequence, length, and dimerization properties of ODNs modulate their activation of TLR9. We performed a systematic investigation of the sequence motifs of B-class and C-class phosphodiester ODNs to identify the sequence properties that govern TLR9 activation. ODNs shorter than 21 nt and with the adenosine adjacent to the cytidine-guanosine (CG) dinucleotide motif led to a significant loss of the propensity to activate TLR9. The distance between the stimulatory CpG motifs within the ODN fine-tunes the activation of B cells. The minimal ODNs that activate human TLR9 comprise 2 CG dinucleotides separated by 6–10 nt, where the first CpG motif is preceded by the 5′-thymidine and the elongated poly-thymidine tail at the 3′ end of the ODN. The minimal sequence provides insight into the molecular mechanism of TLR9 ligand recognition. On the basis of sequence requirements, we conclude that two binding sites with different affinities for CG are formed in the human TLR9 dimer, with a very stringent binding site interacting with the 5′ CpG motif.
The education of prospective ministers as an invitation to life: Moving from moral failure to moral excellence through a process of moral formation
Authors: Kretzschmar Louise 
Published: March 2015

This article discusses the importance of the moral formation of students who are in training for the Christian ministry. Moral formation is defined and its importance is discussed with reference to the scholarly debate, both in South Africa and elsewhere. The complex nature of moral formation, the individuality of students and the multiplicity of contexts in which formation takes place are noted. A model that has God’s grace and human volition at its core and discusses the goals, obstacles and means of moral formation, is presented. It extends beyond a ‘head, hearts and hands’ approach and discusses the crucial areas of thinking, being, relating and doing. It seeks to avoid the extremes of both indoctrination and laissez-faire non-involvement with ministerial students.Die opvoeding van voornemende predikante as ‘n uitnodiging tot die lewe: Beweging vanaf morele bankrotskap tot morele uitmuntendheid deur middel van ‘n proses van morele vorming.

Published: March 2015

ABSTRACT

Aim
Medical emergencies can frequently happen in dental settings and it is critical to outfit the clinic by emergency drugs and equipment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the emergency drugs and equipment in general and specialist dental settings in Babol, Iran.

Materials and methods
A questionnaire containing closed ended questions about the available emergency drugs and equipment was used in this descriptive-analytical study. Data were subjected to descriptive analysis using SPSS 18.0 to identify the most frequent drugs and equipment. Chi-square and t-test were used to evaluate the correlation between the variables. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results
One hundred and twelve dentists answered the questionnaire. The most available drug and equipment were epinephrine (67%) and single use syringe (81.3%) respectively. Significant correlation was found between degree of education and availability of first group of emergency drugs and between sex and possession of second group of emergency equipment (p < 0.05).

Conclusion
Degree of availability of emergency drugs and equipment was moderate to low and training about emergencies should be included in the didactic topics of universities and workshops.

Clinical significance
Information about emergency drug and equipment would help to manage the unwanted emergency situations.

Influence of Metalloproteinases on Dentin Hybridization of One-bottle or Self-etch Dental Bonding Systems
Authors: Pinheiro Sérgio Luiz , Pereira Diana Roberta , Milito Flávia De , Villalpando Karina Teixeira 
Published: March 2015

ABSTRACT

Aim
To assess the influence of dentin substrate and chlorhexidine on the marginal seal of composite resin restorations.

Materials and methods
The sample comprised 20 third molars. Four cavities were drilled in the dentin surface, followed by sealing and restoration of sound dentin (n = 10) or carious dentin (n = 10). In the control group, cavities were immediately restored as follows: G1: one-bottle bonding agent (OB) + composite resin (CR); G2: chlorhexidine 2.0% (CLX) + OB + CR; G3: self-etch bonding agent (SE) + CR; G4: CLX + SE + CR. In the experimental group (carious dentin), carious lesions were induced with S. mutans and cavities were restored as in the control group. Five specimens from each group (sound and carious) were stored in brain–heart infusion (BHI) medium for 6 months. All specimens were submerged in methylene blue 0.5% to test for microleakage. The Kruskal-Wallis and Student- Newman-Keuls tests were used to assess results.

Results
On immediate assessment, there were no significant between-group differences in the sound dentin group, whereas in carious dentin, there was less leakage when OB and CLX were used. At 6 months, there was less leakage in the sound dentin group when OB and CLX were used; there were no between-group differences in carious dentin. Comparison of immediate and 6-month assessments showed a significant increase in leakage at 6 months when sound dentin was treated with SE and CLX and when carious dentin was treated with OB and CLX.

Conclusion
To ensure better dentin hybridization and preservation of the organic constituents of the dentin matrix, the properties of chlorhexidine digluconate and the components of the resin matrix must be taken into account.

Clinical significance
Metalloproteinases influence degradation of the hybrid layer in composite resin restorations, regardless of whether the bonding system used is one-bottle or self-etching.

An Unusual Case of Ameloblastoma observed in the Left Anterior Mandible
Authors: Gunhan Omer , Canger Emin Murat , Çelenk Peruze , Bulut Emel 
Published: March 2015

ABSTRACT

Aim
To report a small intaalveolar ameloblastoma which resembled cystic lesion, and to emphasize the value of Computed tomography (CT) in radiographic examination.

Background
Ameloblastoma is a slow-growing, locally invasive odontogenic neoplasm that accounts for approximately 10% of all tumors detected in the jaws. Radiographically, those tumors are usually well-defined. Computerized tomography is highly recommended to confirm the diagnosis.

Case description
A 48-year-old female attended with a chief complaint of painless swelling in the left anterior of mandible, 1 month duration. In intraoral examination, non-fluctuant, immobile, approximately 1 × 1 cm in dimension, painless, swelling which had a bone-like hardness and located in the mandibular canine region was detected. Panoramic radiography revealed a well circumscribed unilocular radiolucent lesion located in the inter-radicular area of left mandibular lateral and canine teeth. In CT examination it was realized that the lesion was multilocular. Histopathological examination of the biopsy specimen was reported as ameloblastoma.

Clinical significance
It is extremely difficult to find such an ameloblastoma in small dimension in alvolar bone.

What Does Neoliberalism Have to Do with Teaching Research Writing?
Authors: Downing David B. 
Published: March 2015

Ask any progressive educator the question posed by my title, and you won’t have to wait long for an answer: everything. From the size of the class, to the quality of the computer lab, to the costs of textbooks, to the demographics and the class schedules of the students, to the workload and the compensation of faculty assigned to teach them—it is just so easy to name a few of the obvious material factors signaling the neoliberal economy’s effect on how we teach required service classes like research writing (or any course, for that matter). By and large, we share basic understandings about that history, so I am not going to rehearse it here.
Criminaliteit onder Marokkaanse jongemannen in Nederland: speelt regionale herkomst een rol?

Crime among young Moroccan men in the Netherlands: does regional origin matter?
High crime rates among second-generation immigrants are usually attributed to the ethnic group’s social disorganisation and weak socio-economic position in the host society. According to the import theory, the causes of crime can however also be sought in their native countries or regions. Due to a lack of empirical data, this has rarely been tested, with Moroccan immigrants in the Netherlands as exception. Ethnographic research among small groups of delinquent boys in Dutch cities suggests that the rural background or the character of the Rif area of its Moroccan immigrants may explain their high crime rate. In this article we examine whether this holds true when all young Moroccan migrants in the Netherlands are taken into account. Crime data from a Police Identification Service System (HKS) at the individual level are linked with personal data from the Social Statistical Database (SSB) of Statistics Netherlands, including their (parents’) regional descent. Logistic regression analysis shows that the current socio-economic position in the Netherlands is a strong predictor of criminal conduct, while the impact of geographic descent, directly or indirectly via socio-economic position in the Netherlands, is negligible. Based on this study, there is no reason to revise the common explanation of the immigrant-crime nexus.

The prelude in retrospect. Dynamic predictors of periods of incarceration across the life course of female prisoners in the Netherlands
Dynamic predictors of periods of incarceration across the life course of female prisoners in the Netherlands were examined, inspired by a Gendered Pathways to Offending framework. Through life course calendars and surveys 397 female prisoners were interviewed. Women who were employed, received benefits, experienced childbirth, or were involved with substance abusing partners were less likely to be incarcerated one year later. Women whose parents had divorced, were addicted to hard drugs, worked as prostitutes, were homeless, had debts, had income from crime or a criminal partner, or received treatment for psychological problems were at increased risk for incarceration one year later.
The Differences Between an Internal and External Project Manager
Authors: Yamasaki Sato Carlos Eduardo , Gnanaratnam Ajantha Samuel 
Published: March 2015

The differences between an Internal and External Project Manager (IPM & EPM) are usually overlooked in the project management literature. However these differences may have a significant importance when selecting a project manager, having possible adverse impact on the overall project performance if these differences are not properly considered. This paper elaborates a framework for the differences between an IPM and EPM and tests it against three organisations using quantitative (survey) and qualitative (semi-structured interviews) research methods. The research concludes that both types of PMs should not be viewed within the same light, as they each have a different role, skillset, issue management style and project success rate. In particular, IPMs tend to deploy a more ‘reactive’, whereas EPMs tend to use a more ‘proactive’ management style. Also, moving from IPM to EPM is frequently seen as a career progression. These differences may have major implications on how project managers are selected, promoted and recruited.
