Published: July 2010

AbstractA new 3D MnII metal‐organic framework compound {Mn(phen)(dcbp)}n (H2dcbp = 4,4‐dicarboxy‐2,2′‐bipyridine, phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline) was isolated under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized. In the compound, the dcbp ligand is deprotonated to give a neutral species (metal:ligand with 1:1 stoichiometry). Along the c axis, the neighboring MnII ions are linked by two carboxylate bridges in µ2‐coordinating mode to generate a 1D zigzag chain, and these chains are interlinked by dicarboxylate groups of long dcbp ligands to generate a 3D (4,4)‐connected structure with the (42.84) net topology. IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy and variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements were made, which indicated weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the MnII ions of the compound.

Authors: Chou Fong‐Fu , Chi Shun‐Yu , Hsieh Kun‐Chou 
Published: July 2010

AbstractBackgroundThis retrospective, case–control study was designed to find side effects of hypoparathyroidism after total parathyroidectomy plus autotransplantation.MethodsAfter successful total parathyroidectomy plus autotransplantation for symptomatic secondary hyperparathyroidism, 19 patients who had intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels <10 pg/ml during the follow‐up period of 1 year and 38 patients, who had levels >10 pg/ml, were enrolled as the hypoparathyroid and nonhypoparathyroid groups. Data were collected on etiology, symptoms, serum levels of calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase (Alk‐ptase), iPTH, and bone mineral density (BMD) at different sites. Then, 1 week, 3 months, and 1 year after surgery, serum levels of calcium, phosphate, Alk‐ptase, and iPTH were measured again. Three months later, symptoms were recorded. One year after surgery, the BMD at different sites was measured again. Patients’ daily requirements of calcium carbonate and vitamin D3 were recorded at the mean follow‐up of 24 months.ResultsCalcium, phosphate, and iPTH levels decreased significantly 1 week, 3 months, and 1 year after surgery, and Alk‐ptase levels increased at 1 week and then decreased significantly 3 months and 1 year after surgery. Symptoms improved significantly 3 months after surgery. The BMD of different sites increased significantly at 1 year. There were no differences between the two groups regarding changes of symptoms, BMD, and calcium, phosphate, and Alk‐ptase levels. Hypoparathyroid patients required significantly more calcium carbonate and vitamin D3 than nonhypoparathyroid patients did (P = 0.002).ConclusionsEven though hypoparathyroid patients require more calcium carbonate and vitamin D3 than nonhypoparathyroid patients do, they do not have any side effects.
How did the exposed seafloor function in postglacial northward range expansion of Kalopanax septemlobus? Evidence from ecological niche modelling

AbstractWe attempted to clarify how coastal lands temporarily exposed during the last glacial maximum (LGM) contributed to the northward colonisation of Kalopanax septemlobus (Thunb. ex Murray) Koidzumi during the postglacial period in the Japanese Archipelago. Distribution records in 30‐arc‐s pixels were related to bioclimate variables using the maximum entropy technique to model the ecological niche of this species. Bioclimatic conditions in the exposed coastal lands during the LGM were reconstructed based on simulated palaeoclimate and fine‐resolution marine topography. Potential distribution ranges were then estimated under the climatic conditions during the LGM, mid‐Holocene and the present. The ecological niche of this species was influenced mainly by the temperature component of the bioclimates, leading to northward range shift after the LGM as the climate warmed. On average, 26% of the potential range of K. septemlobus during the LGM was located on the exposed seafloor. The northern edges of the species range on both sides of Honshu Island were estimated by up to several hundred kilometres farther north, when compared to the prediction assuming no sea level change. Application of ecological niche modelling provided new insight into the role of exposed seafloor as cryptic glacial refugia for this species, which has never been evidenced by fossil records. In a temperate island system characterised by long coastlines, the northern exposed seafloor would have been more important in terms of harbouring the putative source populations for northward directional colonisation during the postglacial period.

AbstractObjectiveWe studied the associations between Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms and the neurobehavioral status in two population-based birth cohorts.MethodsChildren (n= 467) were assessed by psychologists and teachers for neuropsychological functioning (McCarthy Scales, MCSA), inattention-hyperactivity symptoms (ADHD-DSM-IV form list) and social behavior (California Preschool Social Competence Scale, CPSCS). Regression models were used with covariate adjustment.ResultsSixteen percent of children had ADHD-DSM-IV symptoms. MCSA scores were linearly associated with ADHD symptom scores (general cognitive Beta = −0.6 [−1.0; −0.3] per symptom), specifically inattention scores (general cognitive Beta = −1.8 [−2.3; −1.2]). CPSCS scores were associated with ADHD symptoms (Beta = −2.19 [−2.5; −1.9]). MCSA scores of executive function, perceptive-performance and quantitative sub-areas had stronger associations with ADHD symptoms.ConclusionsPreschooler ADHD symptoms are associated with concurrent decrements in neurocognitive and social competence functioning. The association patterns are similar to those found in older children with ADHD symptomology (Marks et al., 2005 [36], Seidman, 2006 [46], Sonuga-Barke et al., 2003 [48], Yochman et al., 2006 [53]).
Does The Suicide Assessment Scale Predict Risk Of Repetition? A Prospective Study Of Suicide Attempters At A Hospital Emergency Department

Published: July 2010

AbstractPurposeTo determine whether the modified version of the Suicide Assessment Scale (SUAS) can be utilised to predict risk of repeat suicidal behaviour.Subjects and methodsHundred and sixty-five patients aged 18 to 68 years who were admitted to emergency wards after a suicide attempt were interviewed. Follow-up interviews (n= 96) were carried out after 2 months. Associations between SUAS scores and repeat attempt (fatal/non-fatal) during the following 3 years were analysed and the instrument's ability to predict repetition was assessed.ResultsHigh SUAS score (>30) was associated with repetition. The ability of the SUAS to correctly predict repeat suicidal behaviour in the entire study group was low (AUC=0.65,95% CI=0.56–0.74)but better for those (n= 42) who reported ongoing psychiatric treatment at follow-up (AUC=0.78,95% CI 0.63–0.94). Among the latter group, all with baseline SUAS scores >30 made repeats.ConclusionThe modified SUAS performed well as a screening instrument in psychiatric patients.

AbstractBackgroundMajor depression can be regarded as a systemic neurobehavioral disorder resulting from dysfunction of the limbic-cortical networks. The cingulum bundle represents a major association fiber tract of those networks. The aim of our study was to determine the association of brain structural tissue markers of the cingulum bundle and cognitive function in patients with major depression.MethodsRegion-of-interest-based analyses of the middle-anterior and middle-posterior cingulum bundle fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) using color-coded diffusion-tensor imaging and neuropsychological assessment in 14 patients with major depression.ResultsFA of the middle-anterior and middle-posterior cingulum bundle was significantly correlated to the performance in a planning and divided attention task. Furthermore, MD of the middle-posterior cingulum bundle was significantly correlated to a planning task. There was no significant correlation between FA and MD of the cingulum bundle and selective attention or memory.ConclusionsBrain structural tissue markers of the middle-anterior and middle-posterior cingulum bundle were found to be associated with executive functioning and divided attention in patients with major depression. Disconnection within the limbic-cortical networks may underlay cognitive dysfunction in major depression.
In Pursuit of Authenticity: The New Lost City Ramblers and the Postwar Folk Music Revival
Authors: ALLEN RAY 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThis article explores the discourse of authenticity, which has become central to our understanding of twentieth-century folk music revivals in the United States. The process of musical revival, that is, the self-conscious restoration of musical systems deemed in danger of decline or extinction, has been closely tied to perceptions of exactly what constitutes authentic, or genuine, folk tradition. The term tradition, like authenticity, is a slippery concept based on a self-conscious interpretation and selective editing of the past. The complex mechanism of cultural editing that undergirds the authentication process is fleshed out by focusing on the efforts of one band, the New Lost City Ramblers. During the 1960s the Ramblers introduced northern audiences to what they judged to be authentic southern string-band and bluegrass styles at a time when the urban revival was dominated by popular and artsy interpreters of folk music. The Ramblers' struggles to render accurately southern rural instrumental and singing styles, while maintaining their own distinctive sound, offer insight into the challenges authenticity posed for mid-century folk musicians and their urban audiences, and continues to pose for scholars and cultural workers today.

The Impact of Object and Gesture Imitation Training on Language Use in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Ingersoll Brooke , Lalonde Katherine 
Published: July 2010

Purpose

Reciprocal imitation training
(RIT) is a naturalistic behavioral intervention that teaches imitation to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) within a social–communicative context. RIT has been shown to be effective at teaching spontaneous, generalized object and gesture imitation. In addition, improvements in imitation are associated with increases in verbal imitation and spontaneous language.

Method
This study used a modified multiple-baseline design across 4 children to examine whether adding gesture imitation training improves the overall rate of appropriate language use in children with ASD who have already been participating in object imitation training.

Results
Three of the 4 children showed greater improvements in their use of appropriate language after gesture imitation was begun. Further, the children were more likely to use verbal imitation during gesture imitation training than during object imitation training.

Conclusion
These findings suggest that adding gesture imitation training to object imitation training can lead to greater gains in rate of language use than object imitation alone. Implications for both language development and early intervention are discussed.
Behavioral and Physiological Responses to Child-Directed Speech as Predictors of Communication Outcomes in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders
Authors: Watson Linda R. , Baranek Grace T. , Roberts Jane E. , David Fabian J. , Perryman Twyla Y. 
Published: July 2010

Purpose
To determine the extent to which behavioral and physiological responses during child-directed speech (CDS) correlate concurrently and predictively with communication skills in young children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).

Method
Twenty-two boys with ASD (initial mean age: 35 months) participated in a longitudinal study. At entry, behavioral (i.e., percentage looking) and physiological (i.e., vagal activity) measures were collected during the presentation of CDS stimuli. A battery of standardized communication measures was administered at entry and readministered 12 months later.

Results
Percentage looking during CDS was strongly correlated with all entry and follow-up communication scores; vagal activity during CDS was moderately to strongly correlated with entry receptive language, follow-up expressive language, and social-communicative adaptive skills. After controlling for entry communication skills, vagal activity during CDS accounted for significant variance in follow-up communication skills, but percentage looking during CDS did not.

Conclusions
Behavioral and physiological responses to CDS are significantly related to concurrent and later communication skills of children with ASD. Furthermore, higher vagal activity during CDS predicts better communication outcomes 12 months later, after initial communication skills are accounted for. Further research is needed to better understand the physiological mechanisms underlying variable responses to CDS among children with ASD.

Published: July 2010

Summary. Objective. To establish the levels of dental caries, bacterial dental plaque, gingivitis and caries‐related microflora in children with glycogen storage disease (GSD). Patients with GSD are treated with regular intakes of glucose polymer and uncooked cornstarch to prevent hypoglycaemia. Dental health data are scarce.Study Group. The study group comprised 21 children with GSD attending the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.Outcome Measures. These included the number of decayed, missing and filled teeth, and surfaces in both the primary and permanent dentitions, plaque and gingivitis scores. Both plaque and saliva were collected from each child and cultured for Mutans streptococci, Lactobacilli and Candida.Results. The study group included 13 boys and eight girls, aged from 2·7 to 15·5 years. Four of the 21 children had some caries experience. The mean dmft was 0·5 and the mean DMFT, 0·06. Mean plaque and gingivitis scores were 4·8 and 5·9, respectively, for plaque and gingivitis adjacent to the primary teeth, and 11·6 and 12 for those related to permanent teeth.Conclusions. Only a small proportion of the children had caries experience but most were found to have plaque associated with both primary and permanent teeth. Preventive care should be targeted to improve plaque control thus minimizing the risk of developing periodontal disease as adults.
Dental treatment, dental fear and behaviour management problems in children with severe enamel hypomineralization of their permanent first molars

Published: July 2010

Summary. Objectives. To assess the demand for restorative treatment, dental anxiety and dental behaviour management problems among children with severe hypomineralization of their first molars (MIH).Design. Case control study.Sample and methods. Data were compiled from the dental records of 32 9‐year‐old children with severe enamel hypomineralization of their first molars and from 41 controls of the same age group concerning dental health, a number of restorative treatments, use of local anaesthesia and clinical behaviour management problems (BMP). A questionnaire containing specific questions on children’s experiences of dental care and the Children’s Fear Survey Schedule – Dental Subscale (CFSS‐DS), was answered by the parents.Results. The children in the study group had undergone dental treatment of their first molars nearly 10 times as often as the children in the control group. Repeated treatments of these teeth at brief intervals were common. The dental treatment was often undertaken without the use of local anaesthesia, and BMP, and dental fear and anxiety (DFA) were more common than in the controls.Conclusions. Children with severe enamel hypomineralization of their first molars had had to undergo a considerable amount of dental treatment. It is reasonable to assume that experiences of pain and discomfort on repeated occasions were related to the occurrence of BMP in patients with MIH. An early treatment planning and prognostication based on increased knowledge of hypomineralized first molars is desirable. Local anaesthesia and other pain‐reducing techniques, e.g. sedation, should be used when treating these teeth. Extraction should be considered in cases of extensive disintegration of the crown, in cases of frequently repeated treatments or when pulpal symptoms are hard to cure.
Noradrenaline‐Induced Lipolysis in Adipose Tissue is Suppressed at Hibernation Temperatures in Ground Squirrels

Published: July 2010

AbstractResponsiveness of white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) from hibernating and nonhibernating golden‐mantled ground squirrels (Spermophilus lateralis) to the lipolytic action of the sympathetic neurotransmitter, noradrenaline, was tested in vitro at temperatures characteristic of deep torpor (5 °C) and euthermia (37 °C). Noradrenaline‐stimulated lipolysis, as indicated by WAT glycerol release, of tissue from hibernating ground squirrels was six‐ to ten‐fold greater at 37 °C than at 5 °C. Noradrenaline was ineffective in increasing lipolysis at 5 °C. Noradrenaline‐stimulated lipolysis in BAT was similarly suppressed at 5 °C. Noradrenaline‐stimulated lipolysis was little affected by temperature change below approximately 15 °C but strongly correlated with temperature above approximately 15 °C. Noradrenaline‐induced lipolysis of WAT from nonhibernating and hibernating ground squirrels did not differ at an incubation temperature of 5 °C. We conclude that noradrenaline‐stimulated WAT lipolytic activity is markedly suppressed at the low temperatures characteristic of deep torpor and that there is no ‘hibernation‐specific’ adaptation of WAT to enhance its responsiveness to noradrenaline at low tissue temperatures. Temperature dependence of noradrenaline‐stimulated lipolysis may in part account for the shift from lipid to carbohydrate metabolism during the earliest stage of arousal from deep torpor.
Stimulation of Luteinizing Hormone Secretion by N‐Methyl‐d,l‐Aspartic Acid in the Adult Male Guinea‐Pig: Incomplete Blockade by Gonadotropin‐Releasing Hormone Receptor Antagonism
Authors: Gao C.‐Q. , Kaufman J.‐M. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractStimulation of luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion by N‐methyl‐d,l‐aspartic acid (NMA), reported for several mammalian species, is generally accepted to be mediated through stimulation of hypothalamic gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) release. In view of a previously reported unexpected inhibitory action of NMA on GnRH release from hypothalamic explant of intact male guinea‐pigs, the aim of the present study was to assess the in vivo effects of NMA in the adult male guinea‐pig. In the gonadally intact male, NMA (5 mg/animal) elicited a robust LH secretion, which was blocked by the N‐methyl‐d‐asparte‐receptor antagonist dl‐2‐amino‐5‐phosphonovaleric acid (AP‐5,12 mg/animal). In the castrated male, NMA elicited only a marginal and inconsistent LH secretion. Cetrorelix (CET), a GnRH receptor antagonist, administered intracardiacally 1 min or 45 min preceding bolus injection of NMA significantly reduced the LH response to NMA in the intact male. Surprisingly, following GnRH receptor blockade with CET, there still was a substantial residual serum LH response to NMA, while CET completely abolished the serum LH response to high dose (1 µg or 10 µg) guinea‐pig GnRH (gpGnRH). These results indicate that NMA stimulates LH secretion in the gonadally intact male guinea‐pig in vivo and that this effect is mediated in part through gpGnRH‐independent mechanisms.

Published: July 2010

AbstractThe seasonal pattern of breeding in sheep offers an opportunity to examine plasticity of neuronal inputs to gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) neurones. We used conventional fluorescence microscopy and confocal microscopy to compare the extent of input to GnRH neurones from various neuropeptide/neurotransmitter systems in ewes during the breeding and anestrous seasons. Using double‐labelling immunohistochemistry, we counted close appositions between GnRH cells and varicosities that were immunoreactive for either glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD; for γ‐amino butyric acid‐GABA‐neurones), dopamine β hydroxylase (DBH; for noradrenergic neurones), vesicular glutamate transporter‐1 (VGluT‐1, for glutamatergic neurones), neuropeptide Y (NPY) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH; for dopaminergic/noradrenergic neurones). The percentage of GnRH cells displaying close appositions to GABA‐ergic varicosities was higher (P < 0.02) in anestrus than in the breeding season. The percentage of GnRH cells receiving input from varicosities that were positive for TH, DBH and VGluT‐1 was similar in both seasons. Approximately 26‐49% of GnRH neurones were seen to receive inputs from NPY, TH, GABAergic or noradrenergic neurones, while a larger number of GnRH cells (72‐75%) received input from glutamatergic neurones. Conventional microscopy consistently overestimated the number of close contacts on GnRH neurones compared to confocal microscopy. For TH‐immunoreactive varicosities in the preoptic area, only 16‐35% were also immunoreactive for DBH, suggesting that the remainder are dopaminergic. Approximately half of the noradrenergic inputs in the preoptic area were also immunoreactive for NPY. In conclusion, we present numerical data on the consensus between light and confocal microscopy and the level of input of various neuronal systems to GnRH cells; the data indicate a seasonal change in the GABAergic input to GnRH neurones.
