BackgroundAn increased body mass index (BMI) is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease and reduction in life expectancy. However, several studies reported improved clinical outcomes in obese patients treated for cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present study is to investigate the impact of BMI on long‐term clinical outcomes after implantation of zotarolimus eluting stents.MethodsIndividual patient data were pooled from the RESOLUTE Clinical Program comprising five trials worldwide. The study population was sorted according to BMI tertiles and clinical outcomes were evaluated at 2‐year follow‐up.ResultsData from a total of 5,127 patients receiving the R‐ZES were included in the present study. BMI tertiles were as follow: I tertile (≤ 25.95 kg/m2—Low or normal weight) 1,727 patients; II tertile (>25.95 ≤ 29.74 kg/m2—overweight) 1,695 patients, and III tertile (>29.74 kg/m2—obese) 1,705 patients. At 2‐years follow‐up no difference was found for patients with high BMI (III tertile) compared with patients with normal or low BMI (I tertile) in terms of target lesion failure (I–III tertile, HR [95% CI] = 0.89 [0.69, 1.14], P = 0.341; major adverse cardiac events (I–III tertile, HR [95% CI] = 0.90 [0.72, 1.14], P = 0.389; cardiac death (I–III tertile, HR [95% CI] = 1.20 [0.73, 1.99], P = 0.476); myocardial infarction (I–III tertile, HR [95% CI] = 0.86 [0.55, 1.35], P = 0.509; clinically‐driven target lesion revascularization (I–III tertile, HR [95% CI] = 0.75 [0.53, 1.08], P = 0.123; definite or probable stent thrombosis (I–III tertile, HR [95% CI] = 0.98 [0.49, 1.99], P = 0.964.ConclusionsIn the present study, the patients' body mass index was found to have no impact on long‐term clinical outcomes after coronary artery interventions. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Chemistry of Anthracene–Acetylene Oligomers XXV: On‐Surface Chirality of a Self‐Assembled Molecular Network of a Fan‐Blade‐Shaped Anthracene–Acetylene Macrocycle with a Long Alkyl Chain

Published: February 2015

AbstractAn anthracene cyclic dimer with two different linkers and a dodecyl group was synthesized by means of coupling reactions. The calculated structure had a planar macrocyclic π core and a linear alkyl chain. Scanning tunneling microscopy observations at the 1‐phenyloctane/graphite interface revealed that the molecules formed a self‐assembled monolayer that consisted of linear striped bright and dark bands. In each domain, the molecular network consisted of either Re or Si molecules that differed in the two‐dimensional chirality about the macrocyclic faces, which led to a unique conglomerate‐type self‐assembly. The molecular packing mode and the conformation of the alkyl chains are discussed in terms of the intermolecular interactions and the interactions between the molecules and the graphite surface with the aid of MM3 simulations of a model system.

Published: February 2015

AbstractTo learn from Nature how to create an efficient hydrogen‐producing catalyst, much attention has been paid to the investigation of structural and functional biomimics of the active site of [FeFe]‐hydrogenase. To understand their catalytic activities, the μ‐S atoms of the dithiolate bridge have been considered as possible basic sites during the catalytic processes. For this reason, a series of [FeFe]‐H2ase mimics have been synthesized and characterized. Different [FeFe]‐hydrogenase model complexes containing bulky Si–heteroaromatic systems or fluorene directly attached to the dithiolate moiety as well as their mono‐PPh3‐substituted derivatives have been prepared and investigated in detail by spectroscopic, electrochemical, X‐ray diffraction, and computational methods. The assembly of the herein reported series of complexes shows that the μ‐S atoms can be a favored basic site in the catalytic process. Small changes in the (hetero)‐aromatic system of the dithiolate moiety are responsible for large differences in their structures. This was elucidated in detail by DFT calculations, which were consistent with the experimental results.

SummaryAs consumption of tea has been confirmed as a protective factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), it would be interesting to know if T2DM patients could benefit from tea. Because of small sample sizes and inconsistent results of previous studies, we performed this meta‐analysis to reevaluate the effects of tea or tea extract on all available outcomes in patients with T2DM. We systematically searched electronic databases of PubMed, Cochrane Library and EMBASE to identify randomized controlled trials of tea in T2DM patients up to January 2015. Weight mean differences for the changes in all outcomes were pooled by Review Manager 5.2 (Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, England). A total of ten trials including 608 subjects were identified. The meta‐analysis found that tea could alleviate the decrease of fasting blood insulin [1.30 U/L, 95% CI (0.36, 2.24)], and reduced waist circumference only in more than 8‐week intervention [−2.70 cm, 95% CI (−4.72, −0.69)], whereas there were no statistically significant differences with regard to homeostasis model of insulin resistance 0.38 (−0.18, 0.95), fasting blood glucose −0.05 mmol/L (−0.51, 0.40), low density lipoprotein‐cholesterol 0.07 mmol/L (−0.15, 0.29), high density lipoprotein‐cholesterol 0.01 mmol/L (−0.08, 0.09), body mass index −0.15 kg/m2 (−0.50, 0.21), SBP 0.35 mmHg (−3.54, 4.24), DBP −1.02 mmHg (−3.53, 1.48), triglycerides −0.11 mmol/L (−0.28, 0.05) and fasting cholesterol −0.05 mmol/L (−0.20, 0.11) in patients with T2DM, and leptin, ADPN, CRE and UA were also non‐significant. The intervention of tea or tea extraction could maintain a stable fasting blood insulin and reduce waist circumference in the T2DM patients; however, the effects on other outcomes were not significant.

Published: February 2015

AbstractBackgroundActivation of noradrenergic α2 receptor in spinal dorsal horn effectively alleviates the pathological pain. However, the precise mechanisms underlying noradrenergic pain suppression are not fully understood. Convincing evidence has indicated that extracellular signal‐regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) play a key role in spinal sensitization. The present study investigated the potential influence of noradrenergic α2 receptor agonist clonidine on ERK1/2 activity.MethodClonidine was intrathecally given after intraplantar injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) in mice. The possible changes of ERK1/2 signalling were detected by Western blot, immunohistochemistry, co‐immunoprecipitation and behavioural tests.ResultsCFA significantly enhanced ERK1/2 activity in spinal dorsal horn, which was, however, greatly attenuated by clonidine application. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin abolished the inhibitory effect of clonidine on ERK1/2, suggesting the involvement of Giα subunit (Gi protein). Noradrenergic α2 receptor/Gi protein might repress ERK1/2 through cAMP‐dependent protein kinase (PKA) pathway, because direct ERK1/2 activation by PKA agonist forskolin was also suppressed by clonidine. We found that 61 kD isoform of striatal‐enriched protein phosphatase (STEP61) was a key intermediary for α2 receptor/Gi protein/PKA signalling to manipulate ERK1/2 activity. By reducing PKA‐mediated phosphorylation of STEP61 at Ser221, clonidine significantly resumed the inhibition conferred by STEP61 on ERK1/2. Direct expression of STEP61 mutant devoid of Ser221 phosphorylation mimicked clonidine by inhibiting ERK1/2 and pain sensitization in CFA‐injected mice.ConclusionThe analgesic action produced by noradrenergic α2 receptor agonist clonidine involved the reversal of ERK1/2 hyperactivity in spinal dorsal horn of inflamed mice.

Published: February 2015

AbstractBackgroundTraffic collisions often result in a wide range of symptoms included in the umbrella term whiplash‐associated disorders. Mid‐back pain (MBP) is one of these symptoms. The incidence and prognosis of different traffic injuries and their related conditions (e.g. neck pain, low back pain, depression or others) has been investigated previously; however, knowledge about traffic collision‐related MBP is lacking. The study objectives were to describe the incidence, course of recovery and prognosis of MBP after traffic collisions, in terms of global self‐reported recovery.MethodsLongitudinal data from a population‐based inception cohort of all traffic injuries occurring in Saskatchewan, Canada, during a 2‐year period were used. Annual overall and age‐sex‐specific incidence rates were calculated, the course of recovery was described using the Kaplan–Meier technique, and associations between participant characteristics and time‐to‐self‐reported recovery were explored in 3496 MBP cases using Cox proportional hazards models.ResultsThe yearly incidence rate was 236 per 100,000 population during the study period, and was highest in women and in young persons. The median time‐to‐first reported recovery was 101 days (95% CI: 99–104) and about 23% were still not recovered after 1 year. Participant's expectation for recovery, general health, extent of severely affecting comorbidities and having experienced a previous traffic injury were some of the prognostic factors identified.ConclusionsThese findings show that MBP is common after traffic collisions, may result in a long recovery process and that a range of biopsychosocial factors are associated with recovery.
Microwave Activation of Palladium Nanoparticles for Enhanced Ethanol Electrocatalytic Oxidation Reaction in Alkaline Medium

Published: February 2015

AbstractThe impact of microwave irradiation on the structure and electrochemistry of monodispersed palladium nanoparticles is reported for the first time. When compared to the Pd that was not subjected to microwave treatment, the microwaved Pd nanocatalyst gave higher electrochemical active surface area (EASA≈67 m2 g−1), aggregation/uniformity of dispersion, showed higher amount of the palladium oxides, and showed remarkable electrocatalytic behaviour towards ethanol oxidation reaction in alkaline medium (in terms of high mass activity, stability and fast reaction kinetics). The remarkable microwave‐induced properties on the Pd catalyst promise to revolutionize the use of microwave for catalyst activation for enhanced heterogeneous catalysis and fuel cell chemistry.
Machine learning approaches for integrating clinical and imaging features in late‐life depression classification and response prediction

Published: February 2015

ObjectiveCurrently, depression diagnosis relies primarily on behavioral symptoms and signs, and treatment is guided by trial and error instead of evaluating associated underlying brain characteristics. Unlike past studies, we attempted to estimate accurate prediction models for late‐life depression diagnosis and treatment response using multiple machine learning methods with inputs of multi‐modal imaging and non‐imaging whole brain and network‐based features.MethodsLate‐life depression patients (medicated post‐recruitment) (n = 33) and older non‐depressed individuals (n = 35) were recruited. Their demographics and cognitive ability scores were recorded, and brain characteristics were acquired using multi‐modal magnetic resonance imaging pretreatment. Linear and nonlinear learning methods were tested for estimating accurate prediction models.ResultsA learning method called alternating decision trees estimated the most accurate prediction models for late‐life depression diagnosis (87.27% accuracy) and treatment response (89.47% accuracy). The diagnosis model included measures of age, Mini‐mental state examination score, and structural imaging (e.g. whole brain atrophy and global white mater hyperintensity burden). The treatment response model included measures of structural and functional connectivity.ConclusionsCombinations of multi‐modal imaging and/or non‐imaging measures may help better predict late‐life depression diagnosis and treatment response. As a preliminary observation, we speculate that the results may also suggest that different underlying brain characteristics defined by multi‐modal imaging measures—rather than region‐based differences—are associated with depression versus depression recovery because to our knowledge this is the first depression study to accurately predict both using the same approach. These findings may help better understand late‐life depression and identify preliminary steps toward personalized late‐life depression treatment. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Modelling of wildfire impacts on catchment hydrology applied to two case studies
Authors: Mahat Vinod , Anderson Axel , Silins Uldis 
Published: February 2015

AbstractWe used a conceptual modelling approach on two western Canadian mountainous catchments that were burned in separate wildfires in 2003 to explore the potential of using modelling approaches to generalize post‐wildfire catchment hydrology in cases where pre‐wildfire hydrologic data were present or absent. The Fishtrap Creek case study (McLure fire, British Columbia) had a single gauged catchment with both pre‐fire and post‐fire data, whereas the Lost Creek case study (Lost Ck. fire, Alberta) had several instrumented burned and reference catchments providing streamflows and climate data only for the post‐wildfire period. Wildfire impacts on catchment hydrology were assessed by comparing pre‐wildfire and post‐wildfire model calibrated parameter sets for Fishtrap Creek (Fishtrap Ck.) and the calibrated parameters of two burned (South York Ck. and Lynx Ck.) and two unburned (Star Ck. and North York Ck.) catchments for Lost Ck. Model predicted streamflows for burned catchments were compared with unburned catchments (pre‐fire in the case of Fishtrap Ck. and unburned in the case of the Lost Ck.). Similarly, model predicted streamflows from unburned catchments were compared with burned catchments (post‐fire in the case of Fishtrap Ck. and burned in the case of the Lost Ck.). For Fishtrap Ck., different model parameters and streamflow behaviour were observed for pre‐wildfire and post‐wildfire conditions. However, the burned and unburned model results from the Lost Ck. wildfire did not show differing streamflow responses to the wildfire. We found that this hydrological modelling approach is suitable where pre‐wildfire and post‐wildfire data are available but may provide limited additional insights where pre‐disturbance hydrologic data are unavailable. This may in part be because the conceptual modelling approach does not represent the physical catchment processes, whereas a physically based model may still provide insights into catchment hydrological response in these situations.

THE ORIGINS OF PREGNANCY SUPERSTITIONS RELATING TO CONGENITAL MALFORMATIONS
Authors: Pearn John , Sweet Judith 
Published: February 2015

SummaryPREGNANCY superstitions relating to abnormal foetal development are common in modern societies. The universality and intensity of such beliefs suggest that their origins might be found in less‐modified cultural groups. This study, from Mornington Island, indicates that such beliefs are already highly evolved in Aboriginal peoples. Three types of beliefs are identified — maternal impression, spirit influence and totemic identification. Examples of each type are presented, as they relate to congenital malformation, and reasons advanced for their origin and cultural stability. A knowledge of the origins of such beliefs is of help to the counsellor of parents who have children with congenital malformations.

Skin, personhood and redemption: the double self in West New Britain cargo cults
Authors: Lattas Andrew 
Published: February 2015

ABSTRACTThis paper is about the sorts of spaces and identities created by cargo cult narratives. It explores those placements of identity which emerge in the colonial context, out of the interface of self and Other, where each self can only be a self through determining its relationship to the space occupied by the Other. This is a concern with the topography of colonialism, with that multiplicity of regions and sites which black and white are made to occupy in narratives. Here gender, trickery and masalai sites are employed to create alternative terrains of power and identities to those offered by black male colonised bodies.
The Yali movement in retrospect: rewriting history, redefining ‘cargo cult’
Authors: Hermann Elfriede 
Published: February 2015

ABSTRACTThis paper is concerned with a definition of the term ‘cargo cult’ as formulated by Papua New Guineans from their personal experience of the colonial encounter. An examination of the negative connotations inherent in their interpretative reconstruction of the concept ‘cargo cult’ reveals that these resulted from a dialogue with western cultural constructions of ‘cargo cults’ which effectively discredited these movements. Interpreted in this way, the indigenous definition can also become the starting point for a reconsideration of the anthropological concept of ‘cargo cult’.

The Systematisation of Tradition: Maori Culture as a Strategic Resource
Authors: Sissons Jeffrey 
Published: February 2015

ABSTRACTIn this article I discuss the systematisation of Maori tradition in New Zealand during the 1970s and 1980s. More particularly, my focus is on the politicisation and rationalisation of Maori tradition within the New Zealand state, these processes occurring partly in response to calls by Maori leaders for a dismantling of colonial and monocultural structures in New Zealand and reactive objectifications of Maori tradition which challenged the legitimacy of the post‐colonial state administration. I begin with a consideration of the main objectives towards which the systematisation of tradition has been directed over the past two decades, and I examine the way in which priorities have shifted in response to reactive politicisations of ethnic identity. I then draw upon a number of specific examples to illustrate the ethnicisation and rationalisation of Maori tradition as aspects of the systematisation process within the New Zealand state.
