Published: November 2013

Objective: Recent studies suggest that depression is associated with somatic pain. Despite growing research interest in the topic, the effects of depression-related somatic pain remain unclear. The present study sought to investigate the relationships between depression-related somatic pain, treatment satisfaction, and functions of daily living, and to compare them with the relationships between these factors and mental health measures. Method: We administered an Internet-based survey to 663 patients with depression in Japan, including questions about pain symptoms, mental health, functions of daily living, and dissatisfaction with depression treatment. The SF-8 questionnaire was used to assess functions of daily living. We conducted a multiple linear regression analysis to examine the associations between depression-related somatic pain, functions of daily living and treatment satisfaction, and between mental health measures, somatic pain and functions of daily living. Results: An increase per unit in the number of pain symptoms was associated with a 1.04-unit decrease in physical functioning score ( P < 0.001), a 0.67-unit decrease in the role functioning-physical score ( P < 0.001), and a 0.53-unit decrease in role functioning-emotional score ( P = 0.0010). Meanwhile, we found no significant association between the number of pain symptoms and patients' satisfaction with treatment, and no significant association between the number of pain symptoms and social functioning. Conclusions: These results suggest that even when patients report satisfaction with their treatment, they may be suffering from reduced physical functioning and role functioning. These impairments may escape clinical recognition when clinicians or patients fail to discuss pain symptoms.

Authors: Bochenek Marcin 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
Introduction. Artistic trips and tourism are inseparable parts of the activity of folk groups associated in CIOFF® . Folk festivals organised around the world give folk groups a chance to learn about traditions and customs and to come into close contact with indigenous people. The correlation between tourism and activity of folk groups is visible mainly with regard to selected forms of cognitive tourism. The aim of the work was to present the destinations and frequency of artistic trips of CIOFF® folk groups from selected countries of the world. Trips to dance festivals abroad and their connection with heritage tourism were analysed. Material and methods. The study with the use of a diagnostic poll including a questionnaire, interview and document analysis was carried out in July and August 2010. 243 dancers and 16 instructorschoreographers of dance groups from 12 randomly selected countries of the world participated in the study. Results and

conclusions. Folk festivals under the auspices of CIOFF® are organised on all the continents. Artistic trips of folk groups from 12 selected countries were most frequently organised on the “old continent”. A small percentage of dancers from European countries had an opportunity to participate in festivals outside Europe. Artistic trips of the groups were connected with heritage tourism, while travelling became one of the reasons for participating in folk dance classes.

Abstract
Introduction. The paper discusses the issue of vocational skills amongst students of university studies in tourism and recreation at the Josef Pilsudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport in Biała Podlaska. The objective of the research, whose results are presented in the current paper, was to diagnose the results of studies at undergraduate and postgraduate level in relation to their knowledge, skills and social competencies. Material and methods. Research was carried out in June 2012 by means of a diagnostic poll using the random survey technique. The survey encompassed students graduating from undergraduate and graduate programmes (N=199). Results. Analyses indicated that students of both programmes evaluate their knowledge and skills acquired in the course of studies as low. On the other hand, students evaluated their social competencies, in particular those connected with the university's profile, as high. According to respondents' declarations, the level of knowledge, skills and other competencies acquired in the course of undergraduate and graduate studies does not fully meet respondents' requirements.

SummaryObjective: Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) help meet quality and safety goals with regard to antimicrobial use. Prior to CPOE implementation, the ASP at our pediatric tertiary hospital developed a paper-based order set containing recommendations for optimization of dosing. In adapting our ASP for CPOE, we aimed to preserve consistency in our ASP recommendations and expand ASP expertise to other hospitals in our health system.Methods: Nine hospitals in our health system adopted pediatric CPOE and share a common domain (Cerner Millenium™). ASP clinicians developed sixty individual electronic order sets (vendor reference PowerPlans™) to be used independently or as part of larger electronic order sets. Analysis of incidents reported during CPOE implementation and medication variances reports was used to determine the effectiveness of the ASP adaptation.Results: 769 unique PowerPlans™ were used 15,889 times in the first 30 days after CPOE implementation. Of these, 43 were PowerPlans™ included in the ASP design and were used a total of 1149 times (7.2% of all orders). During CPOE implementation, 437 incidents were documented, 1.1% of which were associated with ASP content or workflow. Additionally, analysis of medication variance following CPOE implementation showed that ASP errors accounted for 2.9% of total medication variances.Discussion: ASP content and workflow accounted for proportionally fewer incidents than expected as compared to equally complex and frequently used CPOE content.Conclusions: Well-defined ASP recommendations and modular design strengthened successful CPOE implementation, as well as the adoption of specialized pediatric ASP expertise with other facilities.Citation: Webber EC, Warhurst HM, Smith SS, Cox EG, Crumby AS, Nichols KR.

Published: November 2013

Purpose Endometriomas are frequently associated with female infertility. In these cases, management options include surgery and IVF. The purpose of the present review is to evaluate current literature on the treatment of endometrioma-associated infertility and to compare the pros and cons of the different therapeutic approaches. Methods Literature search of published studies on the treatment of ovarian endometriomas in infertile patients. Studies were evaluated both on the efficacy of the surgical treatment on postoperative reproductive outcome and on the effect of surgery on the ovarian reserve. Results Pregnancy rates around 50% have been consistently reported after surgery, which compare favorably with those obtained with IVF. Surgery is effective also on associated pain, and the histological evaluation of the excised specimen rules out a possible unexpected ovarian malignancy. Thorough histological analysis of the excised specimen permits the evaluation of the appropriateness of surgery. Conclusions Laparoscopic excision of the ovarian endometrioma in infertile patients should still be considered the treatment of choice, particularly in case of associated pain. Surgery should be performed following appropriate techniques, and by dedicated surgeons, in order to decrease the possible damage to the ovarian reserve that has been recently reported postoperatively.

Published: November 2013

Purpose To detect the presence of nerve fibres by immunohistochemical staining method using anti-PGP9.5 antibody in the eutopic and ectopic endometrium of patients with endometriosis. Methods Patients presenting with pelvic pain and/or infertility were subjected to premenstrual endometrial biopsy during laparoscopy. Thirty patients diagnosed with endometriosis formed the study group and 30 patients with no histological/laparoscopic evidence of endometriosis formed the control group. Endometrial biopsy tissue of all the 60 patients along with biopsy from endometriomas and peritoneal implants of confirmed cases of endometriosis (n = 30) were subjected to immunohistochemical staining to detect nerve fibres. Results Neural elements were observed in the eutopic endometrium of 24/30 cases (80%) in the study group and in none of the controls (p<0.01), while the sections from endometriomas and peritoneal implants demonstrated nerve fibres in all the 30 cases of confirmed endometriosis. The nerve fibres in the endometrial tissue were heterogeneously distributed and were sparse in number with an observed density of <1 nerve fibre/mm2 while they were present in large numbers in the ectopic endometrium (10 ± 3 nerve fibre/mm2). Also, the presence of nerve fibres in the eutopic and ectopic endometrium positively correlated with the intensity of pain (p<0.001). Conclusion Eutopic endometrium exhibited positivity for nerve fibres in 24 out of 30 cases of proven endometriosis, though the density of nerve fibres was low as compared to that reported in a few studies.
Determination of Moxifloxacin and its Oxidation Products with Kinetic Evaluation Under Potassium Permanganate Treatment in Acidic Solution by Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Authors: Hubicka Urszula , Żmudzki Paweł , Zajdel Paweł , Krzek Jan 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
A simple, sensitive, and reproducible ultra-performance LC method for the determination of moxifloxacin (MOXI) oxidation stability under permanganate treatment in acidic conditions (pH 3.0–6.0) was developed. Besides the MOXI peak [retention time (RT) = 2.58], four additional products (RT = 0.86, 0.91, 1.42, and 1.89) were observed in all conditions tested. The oxidation process followed second-order reaction kinetics and depended upon solution acidity. The highest reaction rate constant was observed at pH 3.0, and this value decreased as the pH was increased to 6.0. The oxidation products were characterized, and their fragmentation pathways, derived from MS/MS data, were proposed. Two of these products were identified as hydroxyl derivatives of MOXI and two others as their oxidation product analogs with molecular ions of 418.4 and 416.4 m/z, respectively.

Authors: Chen Yibin , Chen Jiaxi , Wang Wei 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
A novel uniform sampling method is proposed in this paper. According to the requirements of uniform sampling, we propose the properties that must be met by analyzing the distribution of samples. Based on this, the proposed uniform sampling method is demonstrated and evaluated strictly by mathematical means such as inference. The uniform sampling tables with respect to Cn(t2) and Cn(t3) are established. Furthermore, a one-dimension uniform sampling method and a multidimension method are proposed. The proposed novel uniform sampling method, which is guided by uniform design theory, enjoys the advantages of simplified use and good representativeness of the whole sample.
A Dispersive Liquid - Liquid Microextraction Methodology for Copper(II) in Environmental Samples Prior to Determination Using Microsample Injection Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
Authors: Alothman Zeid A , Habila Mohamed , Yilmaz Erkan , Soylak Mustafa 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
A simple, environmentally friendly, and efficient dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction method combined with microsample injection flame atomic absorption spectrometry was developed for the separation and preconcentration of Cu(II). 2-(5-Bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-(diethylamino)phenol (5-Br-PADAP) was used to form a hydrophobic complex of Cu(II) ions in the aqueous phase before extraction. To extract the Cu(II)-5-Br-PADAP complex from the aqueous phase to the organic phase, 2.0 mL of acetone as a disperser solvent and 200 μL of chloroform as an extraction solvent were used. The influences of important analytical parameters, such as the pH, types and volumes of the extraction and disperser solvents, amount of chelating agent, sample volume, and matrix effects, on the microextraction procedure were evaluated and optimized. Using the optimal conditions, the LOD, LOQ, preconcentration factor, and RSD were determined to be 1.4 μg/L, 4.7 μg/L, 120, and 6.5%, respectively. The accuracy of the proposed method was investigated using standard addition/recovery tests. The analysis of certified reference materials produced satisfactory analytical results. The developed method was applied for the determination of Cu in real samples.

Published: November 2013

Abstract
A method was developed for the determination of cyantraniliprole (HGW86) and its metabolite J9Z38 in watermelon and soil by ultra-performance LC (UPLC)/MS/MS. Target compounds were extracted by acetonitrile–water, cleaned up on a silica gel column, and determined by UPLC/MS/MS. Average recoveries of cyantraniliprole and J9Z38 in watermelon and soil at three levels (0.01, 0.1, and 0.5 mg/kg) ranged from 85.71 to 105.74%, with RSDs of 0.90–6.34%. The LOQs for cyantraniliprole and J9Z38 were determined to be 0.00021, 0.00015, 0.0010, and 0.00090 mg/kg in watermelon and soil samples, respectively. This method was used to determine the cyantraniliprole and J9Z38 residues in watermelon and soil samples for studies on their dissipation. The trial results showed that the half-lives of cyantraniliprole obtained after treatments were 1.1 and 4.1 days in watermelon and soil in Zhejiang, and 2.7 and 2.6 days in watermelon and soil in Hunan, respectively. The average levels of cyantraniliprole and J9Z38 residues in watermelon and soil were all &lt;0.01 mg/kg within the 14-day interval after treatment.
Simultaneous Determination of Vitamins D2 and D3 by Electrospray Ionization LC/MS/MS in Infant Formula and Adult Nutritionals: First Action 2012.11
Authors: Gilliland Donald L , Black Charles K , Denison James E , Seipelt Charles T , Baugh Steve 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
A method was developed for the analysis of vitamins D2 and D3 in a variety of nutritional products. To extract vitamins D2 and D3 from products containing substantial amounts of fat, a saponification with alcoholic potassium hydroxide is required to release the vitamin D. Trideuterium- labeled vitamin D is added to the sample prior to saponification, and quantitation is achieved using linear regression of the ratio of peak response for 2H3-D and vitamin D. Acceptable linearity was achieved between 0.6 and 27 μg/100 g with a correlation requirement of &gt;0.999. The method detection limit of 0.02 μg/100 g was verified by spiking placebo products carried through the saponification and extraction steps of the method. At the quantitation limit (0.12 μg/100 g), the signal was easily distinguished from the background. Vitamin D3 spike recoveries ranged from 107 to 119% at the low level and 104 to 116% at the high-level spike. Vitamin D2 recoveries were 105 to 116% and 91 to 110% for the low- and high-level spikes, respectively. SRM 1849a has a certified concentration of 11.1 ± 1.7 μg/100 g; using this standard reference material, the range of 9.4 to 12.8 μg/100 g was met on each of the 6 days. Method repeatability, determined in 12 vitamin D3 product matrixes over 6 days, ranged from 3.9 to 48%. The adult nutrition-milk protein sample was the most notable; it failed within-day, as well as day-to-day, precision requirements. There was no attempt to optimize the sample preparation to accommodate any problem matrix.
Probability of Identification: Adulteration of American Ginseng with Asian Ginseng
Authors: Harnly James , Chen Pei , Harrington Peter de B 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
The AOAC INTERNATIONAL guidelines for validation of botanical identification methods were applied to the detection of Asian Ginseng [Panax ginseng (PG)] as an adulterant for American Ginseng [P. quinquefolius (PQ)] using spectral fingerprints obtained by flow injection mass spectrometry (FIMS). Samples of 100% PQ and 100% PG were physically mixed to provide 90, 80, and 50% PQ. The multivariate FIMS fingerprint data were analyzed using soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA) based on 100% PQ. The Q statistic, a measure of the degree of non-fit of the test samples with the calibration model, was used as the analytical parameter. FIMS was able to discriminate between 100% PQ and 100% PG, and between 100% PQ and 90, 80, and 50% PQ. The probability of identification (POI) curve was estimated based on the SD of 90% PQ. A digital model of adulteration, obtained by mathematically summing the experimentally acquired spectra of 100% PQ and 100% PG in the desired ratios, agreed well with the physical data and provided an easy and more accurate method for constructing the POI curve. Two chemometric modeling methods, SIMCA and fuzzy optimal associative memories, and two classification methods, partial least squares-discriminant analysis and fuzzy rule-building expert systems, were applied to the data. The modeling methods correctly identified the adulterated samples; the classification methods did not.

TLC-Direct Bioautography for Determination of Antibacterial Activity of Artemisia adamsii Essential Oil
Authors: Horváth Györgyi , Ács Kamilla , Kocsis Béla 
Published: November 2013

Abstract
The aim of the present study was the chemical characterization of the essential oil of a Mongolian medicinal plant, Artemisia adamsii Besser, and the investigation of the antibacterial effect of its oil on different human pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and S. epidermidis). The chemical composition of the oil was established by GC and GC/MS. Direct bioautography was used for detecting the antibacterial activity of the essential oil. The result of GC experiments showed that α-thujone was the main component (64.4%) of the oil, while the amount of β-thujone was 7.1%. 1,8-Cineole seemed to be the other relevant component (15.2%). The antibacterial activity of the A. adamsii essential oil against all three investigated bacteria was observed in the bioautographic system, but this effect was not proportional to the concentrations of α- or β-thujone; therefore, from a microbiological aspect, thujone content does not determine the medicinal value of this oil. On the whole, the combination of TLC separation with biological detection is an appropriate method for evaluating multicomponent and hydrophobic plant extracts, for instance, essential oils, and it provides more reliable results than traditional microbiological methods (e. g., disc diffusion and agar plate techniques).
