ObjectiveAcquired epilepsy is frequently associated with structural lesions after trauma, stroke, and infections. Although seizures are often difficult to treat, there is no clinically applicable strategy to prevent the development of epilepsy in patients at risk. We have recently shown that vascular injury is associated with activation of albumin‐mediated transforming growth factor β (TGF‐β) signaling, and followed by local inflammatory response and epileptiform activity ex vivo. Here we investigated albumin‐mediated TGF‐β signaling and tested the efficacy of blocking the TGF‐β pathway in preventing epilepsy.MethodsWe addressed the role of TGF‐β signaling in epileptogenesis in 2 different rat models of vascular injury, combining in vitro and in vivo biochemical assays, gene expression, and magnetic resonance and direct optical imaging for blood–brain barrier permeability and vascular reactivity. Long‐term electrocorticographic recordings were acquired in freely behaving animals.ResultsWe demonstrate that serum‐derived albumin preferentially induces activation of the activin receptor‐like kinase 5 pathway of TGF‐β receptor I in astrocytes. We further show that the angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist, losartan, previously identified as a blocker of peripheral TGF‐β signaling, effectively blocks albumin‐induced TGF‐β activation in the brain. Most importantly, losartan prevents the development of delayed recurrent spontaneous seizures, an effect that persists weeks after drug withdrawal.InterpretationTGF‐β signaling, activated in astrocytes by serum‐derived albumin, is involved in epileptogenesis. We propose losartan, a drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, as an efficient antiepileptogenic therapy for epilepsy associated with vascular injury. Ann Neurol 2014;75:864–875
Poly(vinyl alcohol) functionalization with aldehydes in organic solvents: Shining properties of poly(vinyl acetals)
Authors: Delattre Emilie , Lemière Gilles , Desmurs Jean‐Roger , Boulay Benjamin , Duñach Elisabet 
Published: March 2014

ABSTRACTPoly(vinyl alcohol) has been functionalized with aldehydes in tetrahydrofuran (THF) with a good control of the grafting. A wide library of poly(vinyl acetals) could be obtained in order to study some structure/property correlations. The influence of the aldehyde nature on the functionalization rates has been studied, in particular for optical properties by measurement of the shininess for further applications in the cosmetic field. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The aura of new goods: How consumers mediate newness
Authors: Coskuner‐Balli Gokcen , Sandikci Özlem 
Published: March 2014

ABSTRACTThis article investigates newness and how it informs consumer practices. Past consumer research has primarily explored a technical sense of newness with attention to attribute novelty and consumer intrinsic factors for novelty seeking behavior. These studies, however, have not fully captured the culturally ambiguous and shifting meanings of newness. To address this oversight, this article explores newness as a liminal phase in the social and material life of objects. Our analysis unpacks the experiential and identity value of newness, identifies a set of practices consumers engage in to mediate newness, and discusses different modalities of newness.

BackgroundDrug eluting stents for the treatment of small vessel coronary artery disease have traditionally yielded inferior clinical outcomes compared to the use of DES in large vessels. The benefit of the second‐generation Resolute zotarolimus‐eluting stent (R‐ZES) in small vessels was examined.MethodsTwo‐year clinical outcomes from five combined R‐ZES studies were compared between patients with small (reference vessel diameter [RVD] ≤2.5 mm; n = 1,956) and large (RVD >2.5 mm; n = 3174) vessels.ResultsDespite a higher incidence of comorbidities in the small vessel group, there was no significant difference in target lesion failure (TLF) (10.1% vs. 8.7%; P = 0.54) at 2 years. When the subgroup of patients with diabetes was examined (n = 1,553) there was no significant difference in 2‐year TLF in small compared to large vessels (11.2% vs. 11.1%; P = 0.17). Similarly, within the small vessel cohort, no significant difference was seen regarding TLF at 2 years between people with and without diabetes (11.2% vs 9.6%; P = 0.28).ConclusionWhen used for the treatment of small vessels, the R‐ZES appears to provide acceptable clinical results at 2 years when compared to its performance in large vessels. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

BackgroundComputed tomography (CT) imaging has not been systematically studied for predicting vascular complications during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).MethodsClinical data were obtained from the electronic medical record and analysis was performed for each individual patient's iliofemoral CT angiogram. Sheath : femoral artery diameter ratio (SFAR) and sheath : femoral artery area ratio (SFAAR) were defined as the ratio of the sheath outer diameter to the femoral minimal lumen diameter (MLD) and sheath area to the femoral minimal lumen area (MLA), respectively.ResultsA total of 255 patients underwent TF‐TAVR with a 30‐day mortality of 0.4% and 30‐day stroke rate of 1.6%. Twenty‐eight (11%) patients suffered a vascular complication, the majority of whom (82%) were managed percutaneously. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis demonstrated an SFAAR of 1.35 to predict the occurrence of vascular complications with a sensitivity of 78.6%. By comparison, similar analysis using SFAR provided a value of 1.45 with sensitivity of 64.2%. Multivariable modeling confirmed SFAR [OR (95% CI): 8.3(1.8–39.1)] and log‐transformed SFAAR [OR (95% CI): 40.1 (2.4–650.0)] as significant predictors of vascular complication.ConclusionsUsing CT analysis, an SFAR of 1.45 and an SFAAR of 1.35 are each significant predictors of vascular complications among patients undergoing TF‐TAVR. Utilization of CT‐based area may provide a more accurate screen for patients undergoing evaluation for TF‐TAVR as it takes into consideration the elliptical nature of the vessel. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ObjectiveWe explored the efficacy, safety, and clinical consequences of on‐label and off‐label transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in the real‐world setting.BackgroundThe transcatheter heart valve (THV) was initially approved only for transfemoral (TF) delivery (on‐label use) during TAVR in inoperable patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Because of lack of alternative options in TAVR‐eligible patients with inadequate TF access, other routes have been utilized for THV implantation (off‐label use), outcomes of which were previously unknown.MethodsConsecutive patients with severe inoperable AS who underwent clinical TAVR at our site were enrolled in a prospective database. Fifty subjects underwent TF‐TAVR (on‐label group), while non‐TF routes were utilized in 60 subjects (off‐label group). Procedural events, 30‐day clinical outcomes, and 1‐year all‐cause mortality data were analyzed.ResultsTechnical device success was similar between on‐label and off‐label groups (88% vs. 87%, respectively; P = 0.92), as was the incidence of procedural complications and 30‐day clinical events. The on‐label group had lower 1‐year all‐cause death rate (12%) compared to the off‐label group (32%; P = 0.02). The 1‐year all‐cause mortality in the off‐label group was comparable to published clinical trial and registry data on TAVR, and appeared lower than historical outcomes with conservative medical therapy.ConclusionOn‐label use of the THV in the real‐world setting was associated with favorable survival outcomes compared to off‐label TAVR and historical data. Off‐label use of the THV appeared to be safe and effective when used in select patients with inoperable AS who are not eligible for TAVR via TF approach. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
