AbstractBackgroundFollowing the results of a previous study that highlighted the potential for significant levels of dust exposure in South African soybean processing plants, a clinical investigation was undertaken to study the respiratory health of workers in this industry.MethodsWorkers from three soybean‐processing plants were studied with a respiratory questionnaire and estimation of atopy and specific soybean IgE.ResultsA total of 144 of the 181 (79.6% participation rate) plant employees completed the questionnaire and 136 (75.1%) gave blood samples for analysis of specific IgE. There was a significant association between work‐related chest tightness (OR 4.0 [95% CI 1.3–12.6]), work‐related nasal symptoms (OR 4.3 [95% CI 1.3–14.6]) and cough or chest tightness after handling soybean (OR 3.6 [95% CI 1.1–11.6]) and soybean sensitization. There was a significant association between current exposure to dust during soybean off‐loading and “flu‐like” illness (OR 2.7 [95% CI 1.0–7.2]), and cough or chest tightness after such work (OR 7.4 [95% CI 2.4–23.6]). The strongest predictor of work related nasal symptoms was sensitization to soybean, the latter strongly predicted by the presence of atopy (OR 34.7 [95% CI 6.6–182.5]).ConclusionsExposure and sensitization to soybean were associated with the presence of work related symptoms, including flu‐like symptoms, cough, chest tightness, and nasal symptoms. The aetiology of these symptoms and more particularly the best intervention strategies require more detailed investigation. Am. J. Ind. Med. 55:458–464, 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: February 2012

AbstractComposites of polypropylene (PP) and crystalline cellulose were prepared after modification of the host matrix by reactive extrusion grafting of maleic anhydride. Acid, alkali, and mechanical treatment of wood flour (WF) was conducted to obtain a suspension of micro‐ and nanocrystalline cellulose. Layered silicates (clay) were partially intercalated with cellulose crystals, and the modified layered silicate was used as filler in the PP matrix at various concentrations via a melt‐blending process. The tensile strength of composites prepared from cellulose‐modified clay was greater than that of the PP‐clay and PP‐WF composites at a 5% filler concentration, whereas deterioration of mechanical properties was observed when clay and WF were used alone for reinforcement. The dispersion of the filler in the matrix significantly decreased after clay modification with cellulose at higher concentrations, as shown by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) data and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed an increase in the thermal resistance of samples, which was attributed to the presence of clay platelets that dissipated heat by generating torture paths. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: February 2012

AbstractMicroRNAs (miRNAs) have crucial functions in many cellular processes, such as differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis; aberrant expression of miRNAs has been linked to human diseases, including cancer. Tools that allow specific and efficient knockdown of miRNAs would be of immense importance for exploring miRNA function. Zebrafish serves as an excellent vertebrate model system to understand the functions of miRNAs involved in a variety of biological processes. We designed and employed a strategy based on locked nucleic acid enzymes (LNAzymes) for in vivo knockdown of miRNA in zebrafish embryos. We demonstrate that LNAzyme can efficiently knockdown miRNAs with minimal toxicity to the zebrafish embryos.

Published: February 2012

AbstractMicroparticles are of outstanding importance in many areas today. Their synthesis is often very expensive to achieve certain properties. Therefore, particles from biological sources offer new possibilities since nature provides a wide range of particle shapes and sizes. In this work bioparticles of different properties are presented, which can be prepared from plant pollen. The focus is on three applications for these bioparticles. Besides its use as reference particles for particle shape analysis, the usage of purified sporopollenin microcapsules for the chromatographic separation of macromolecules is described. A third application is the use of sporopollenin microcapsules for immobilization of polymers or drugs.
The Thinner the Better: Self‐Esteem and Low Body Weight in Anorexia Nervosa

Published: February 2012

The aim of the present study was to examine the associations between self‐esteem, motive satisfaction, and body weight in acute (acAN) and recovered (recAN) inpatients with anorexia nervosa (AN) and in healthy controls. Both acAN and recAN showed lower levels of self‐esteem as compared with healthy controls but did not differ from each other. In acAN, decreased body weight was associated with increased self‐esteem. Satisfaction of an achievement motive but not satisfaction of a superiority motive mediated this association. No such correlations could be observed in the other groups. This is the first study to show an often assumed association between decreased body weight and increased self‐esteem in AN patients. These preliminary results strengthen the assumption that low body weight may foster self‐esteem in patients with acAN, mainly through the satisfaction of an achievement motive.

Self‐esteem should be focused very early in the treatment of AN since weight gain may deprive the patient of an important source of self‐esteem.
Treatment interventions should be attuned to underlying motives of threatened self‐esteem; in AN patients, the enhancement of self‐esteem via weight loss seems to be rather fuelled by the satisfaction of an achievement motive than by the satisfaction of a superiority motive.
Specific trainings to improve self‐esteem in AN patients seem to be promising as an add‐on to regular treatment.
Modeling climate change impacts on overwintering bald eagles
Authors: Harvey Chris J. , Moriarty Pamela E. , Salathé Jr. Eric P. 
Published: February 2012

AbstractBald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) are recovering from severe population declines, and are exerting pressure on food resources in some areas. Thousands of bald eagles overwinter near Puget Sound, primarily to feed on chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) carcasses. We used modeling techniques to examine how anticipated climate changes will affect energetic demands of overwintering bald eagles. We applied a regional downscaling method to two global climate change models to obtain hourly temperature, precipitation, wind, and longwave radiation estimates at the mouths of three Puget Sound tributaries (the Skagit, Hamma Hamma, and Nisqually rivers) in two decades, the 1970s and the 2050s. Climate data were used to drive bald eagle bioenergetics models from December to February for each river, year, and decade. Bald eagle bioenergetics were insensitive to climate change: despite warmer winters in the 2050s, particularly near the Nisqually River, bald eagle food requirements declined only slightly (<1%). However, the warming climate caused salmon carcasses to decompose more rapidly, resulting in 11% to 14% less annual carcass biomass available to eagles in the 2050s. That estimate is likely conservative, as it does not account for decreased availability of carcasses due to anticipated increases in winter stream flow. Future climate‐driven declines in winter food availability, coupled with a growing bald eagle population, may force eagles to seek alternate prey in the Puget Sound area or in more remote ecosystems.

Published: February 2012

AbstractPurpose:To examine changes in the brain before liver transplantation caused by the accumulation of paramagnetic ion deposits and to investigate recovery after liver transplantation over a long‐term horizon.Materials and Methods:Fifteen patients indicated for liver transplantation, 26 patients up to 2 years after, and 40 patients 8–15 years after liver transplantation were subjected to MR relaxometry. T1 and T2 relaxation times in the basal ganglia, thalamus, and white matter were evaluated.Results:Relaxometry revealed a shortening of the relaxation times due to the deposition of paramagnetic ions in the basal ganglia before liver transplantation (P < 0.05), complete normalization of the relaxation times shortly after transplantation in the globus pallidus and caudate nucleus, and partial recovery of T2 in the putamen. Relaxation times remained stable even 15 years posttransplantation. Increased relaxation times posttransplantation were found in the white matter and thalamus.Conclusion:The shortening of the relaxation times observed in the basal ganglia before liver transplantation was caused by paramagnetic ion deposition. The recovery observable within 2 years after transplantation was permanent, and no recurrence of paramagnetic ion deposition was observed even 15 years posttransplantation. Changes in the white matter and thalamus after transplantation were attributed to damage caused by permanent exposure to immunosuppressants. J. Magn. Reson.

Electrospun Poly(vinyl alcohol) Nanofibres with Biocidal Additives for Application in Filter Media, 2–Antimicrobial Activity, Regeneration, Leaching and Water Stability
Authors: Gule Nonjabulo Prudence , de Kwaadsteniet Michele , Cloete Thomas Eugene , Klumperman Bert 
Published: February 2012

AbstractAntimicrobial poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofibres are produced using AquaQure biocide as additive to the polymer solution. AquaQure is an aqueous antimicrobial agent containing mainly Cu2+ and Zn2+. Antimicrobial tests show that the fibres achieve up to a 5 log reductions in populations of E. coli, S. aureus, S. typhimurium, P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae bacteria. Reusability of the nanofibre membranes is investigated to establish if the nanofibres retain their morphology and antimicrobial effectiveness over six cycles of water filtration. Leaching of AquaQure constituents from the nanofibres into filtered water is assessed and found to be at acceptable levels.magnified image
Psychometric Properties of the Swedish Rheumatic Disease Empowerment Scale, SWE‐RES‐23

Published: February 2012

AbstractIntroductionEmpowerment is a central concept in both rheumatology and diabetes care. A Swedish empowerment instrument for patients with rheumatic diseases has not been created before now. The aim of the present study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Swedish Rheumatic Disease Empowerment Scale, SWE‐RES‐23, such as construct validity, internal consistency reliability, inter‐item correlations and discriminant validity.MethodsThe already existing instrument, the Swedish Diabetes Empowerment Scale (SWE‐DES‐23), was adapted for use in patients with rheumatic diseases. The adapted instrument was called the SWE‐RES‐23. In 2009, 260 patients with rheumatic diseases from a rheumatology unit in Sweden completed the instrument. Construct validity was tested by using exploratory factor analysis. Internal consistency reliability was tested by the use of Cronbach's α‐coefficient. In order to determine unidimensionality of the empowerment subscales, inter‐item correlations were calculated. To establish discriminant validity, an item about self‐perceived health from the Short Form (SF) 36 was used in addition to the SWE‐RES‐23.ResultsThe exploratory factor analysis resulted in five factors (empowerment subscales) with eigenvalues >1, explaining 64.1% of the total variance: Goal achievement and overcoming barriers to goal achievement; Self‐knowledge; Managing stress; Assessing dissatisfaction and readiness to change; and Support for caring. Cronbach's α values ranged from 0.59 to 0.91, and the value for the total score was 0.92.ConclusionThe results support the possibility of adapting the SWE‐DES‐23 for use in patients with rheumatic diseases. The SWE‐RES‐23 shows acceptable psychometric properties, in terms of construct validity and internal consistency reliability. To validate the SWE‐RES‐23 fully, further studies are needed, with a focus on test‐retest correlations. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Simultaneous bilateral hip joint imaging at 7 Tesla using fast transmit B1 shimming methods and multichannel transmission – a feasibility study

Published: February 2012

The objective of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of simultaneous bilateral hip imaging at 7 Tesla. Hip joint MRI becomes clinically critical since recent advances have made hip arthroscopy an efficacious approach to treat a variety of early hip diseases. The success of these treatments requires a reliable and accurate diagnosis of intraarticular abnormalities at an early stage. Articular cartilage assessment is especially important to guide surgical decisions but is difficult to achieve with current MR methods. Because of gains in tissue contrast and spatial resolution reported at ultra high magnetic fields, there are strong expectations that imaging the hip joint at 7 Tesla will improve diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, there is growing evidence that the majority of these hip abnormalities occur bilaterally, emphasizing the need for bilateral imaging.However, obtaining high quality images in the human torso, in particular of both hips simultaneously, must overcome a major challenge arising from the damped traveling wave behaviour of RF waves at 7 Tesla that leads to severe inhomogeneities in transmit B1 (B1+) phase and magnitude, typically resulting in areas of low signal and contrast, and consequently impairing use for clinical applications. To overcome this problem, a 16‐channel stripline transceiver RF coil was used, together with a B1 shimming algorithm aiming at maximizing B1+ in six regions of interest over the hips that were identified on axial scout images. Our successful results demonstrate that this approach effectively reduces inhomogeneities observed before B1 shimming and provides high joint tissue contrast in both hips while reducing the required RF power. Critical to this success was a fast small flip angle B1+ calibration scan that permitted the computation of subject‐specific B1 shimming solutions, a necessary step to account for large spatial variations in B1+ phase observed in different subjects.

Published: February 2012

AbstractHemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a systemic disease resulting from the excessive release of inflammatory cytokines by macrophages under prolonged antigenic stimulation. If untreated, it leads to multiorgan failure and death. Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) has not previously been associated with HLH. Here we report four preterm infants who were diagnosed with HLH associated with NEC. Two patients received chemotherapy and one survived. The other two infants succumbed to multiorgan failure. These results suggest that NEC may be a common clinical manifestation of HLH in premature neonates. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2012;59:315–317. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Nanoparticle Synthesis and Growth in a Continuous Plasma Reactor from Organosilicon Precursors
Authors: Roth Christian , Oberbossel Gina , Buitrago Elizabeth , Heuberger Roman , Rudolf von Rohr Philipp 
Published: February 2012

AbstractSilica‐like nanoparticles are produced from four different organosilicon monomers HMDSO, TMDSO, TEOS and TMOS in a continuous non‐equilibrium plasma reactor. The nanoparticle synthesis is studied as a function of the process pressure, plasma power, gas velocity,and gas composition (Ar:O2:monomer). The morphology, mass production,and chemical composition of the plasma formed particlesare investigated. An adapted particle growth model for a continuous plasma reactor is introduced which explains the influence of the different process parameters on particle evolution. The morphology of the produced amorphous particles is similar to fumed silica, with primary particles in the size range of 10 nm building hard‐agglomerates of several hundred nanometers during the synthesis.magnified image
