Dynamic Constitutional Membranes: Toward an Adaptive Facilitated Transport
Authors: Barboiu Mihail 
Published: August 2010

AbstractDynamic Interactive Systems are defined by networks of continuously exchanging and reversibly reorganizing connected objects (supermolecules, polymers, biomolecules, pores, nanoplatforms, surfaces, liposomes, cells). They are operating under the natural selection to allow spatial / temporal and structural / functional adaptability in response to internal constitutionalor to stimulant external factors. In this minireview we will disscuss some selected examples of organic/inorganic SYSTEMS MATERIALS, covering a) the sol-gel resolution of constitutional architectures from Dynamic combinatorial libraries and b) the generation of Dynamic Hybrid Materials and SYSTEMS MEMBRANES able to evolve insidepore architectures via ionic stimuli so as to improve membrane transport functions.

Abstract
In this paper we presented a new method (Eigen-Coordinates (ECs)) that can be used for calculations of the critical points (CPs) energy of the interband-transition edges of the heterostructures. This new method is more accurate and complete in comparison with conventional ones and has a wide range of application for the calculation of the fitting parameters related to nontrivial functions that initially have nonlinear fitting parameters that are difficult to evaluate. The new method was applied to determine the CPs energies from the dielectric functions of the MBE grown GaAs1−xPx ternary alloys obtained using spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) measurements at room temperature in the 0.5-5 eV photon energy region. The obtained results are in good agreement with the results of the other methods.
Restorative Justice conferencing and the youth offender: exploring the role of oral language competence
Authors: Snow Pamela C. , Sanger Dixie D. 
Published: August 2010

Abstract Background: Restorative Justice is an approach to responding to youth offending that aims to be collaborative and conciliatory rather than adversarial. In this respect, it is a welcome innovation in justice, welfare, and educational settings, and is gaining favour around the world. To date, however, the Restorative Justice literature has not considered the possible implications of unidentified language impairment in the young offenders who are asked to participate in face‐to‐face conferences with their victim(s). Aims: The aims of this paper are (1) to bring two paradigms together: Restorative Justice on the one hand, and the literature on language and social cognition impairments in vulnerable and socially marginalized young people on the other; (2) to stimulate awareness and interest in this aspect of public policy and practice by speech–language pathologists; and (3) to suggest some research questions that need to be tackled from an oral language competence perspective. Methods & Procedures: A narrative review of the relevant literature pertaining to both Restorative Justice and oral language competence in vulnerable young people was conducted, with particular emphasis on the implications of the undetected language impairments as a source of possible unintended harm to both victims and offenders in Restorative Justice conferences. Main Contribution: This is the first paper that specifically addresses the oral language skills of vulnerable and socially marginalized young people with respect to their capacity to participate in Restorative Justice conferences. Conclusions: It is important that speech–language pathologists contribute their specialized knowledge and clinical skills to public policy‐making and debate, and practice that pertains to marginalized young people who may have undetected oral language impairments. Speech–language pathology as a profession is well positioned to plan and execute important programmes of research on this growing approach to dealing with youth offending and reducing recidivism.

Objective.The LupusQoL-US instrument was recently validated in the US. We studied the benchmarks for a US patient cohort with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and relevant demographic and disease correlates.Methods.LupusQoL-US was administered to 185 patients with SLE. Demographic data (age, sex, ethnicity, marital status) and disease features (duration, disease activity and damage) were assessed simultaneously. Descriptive statistics were obtained. LupusQoL-US domain scores were calculated, and compared by sex, ethnicity, and marital status using nonparametric tests. Correlation between LupusQoL-US domains and age, disease duration, disease activity, and disease damage were obtained.Results.Mean age of patients was 42.2 ± 14.5 years; 94% of subjects were women. African American patients comprised 60% of the study cohort. The most affected domains were Fatigue and Physical Health. The least affected was Intimate Relationships. Age correlated with Physical Health, Pain, and Body Image (r = 0.15–0.18). Differences were observed based on sex and marital status, but not by ethnicity; there the LupusQoL-US correlated inversely with disease activity (r = −0.001 to −0.36) and damage (r = −0.003 to −0.40).Conclusion.All domains of the LupusQoL-US based health related quality of life (HRQOL) were affected adversely. HRQOL varied by age, sex, and marital status in our SLE cohort.
De l'obligation à la ressource

Published: August 2010

Partant d’une contradiction entre ethnographies et enquêtes quantitatives de la formation policière, cet article explore les rapports différenciés au droit repérables à l’École nationale de police de Paris. En montrant qu’au moins trois formes de ces rapports sont identifiables au cours de la formation – légalisme, mise en concurrence avec les principes de justice, conditionnement de la loi aux exigences situationnelles –, l’article met en évidence la continuité existant entre école de police et services actifs. Un tel constat amène à interroger les raisons de la persistance d’un discours proclamant l’existence d’une rupture profonde entre école et travail policier de voie publique.
Les groupes de nouvelles à caractère pédopornographique : une sous-culture de la déviance
Authors: Corriveau Patrice 
Published: August 2010

Le développement accéléré des technologies de l’information a considérablement modifié la problématique de la pornographie juvénile en facilitant sa distribution dans le cyberespace, particulièrement dans les groupes de nouvelles Usenet. Ces groupes de nouvelles se révèlent également être des lieux privilégiés de discussion et d’échange entre les amateurs de pornographie juvénile, où une sous-culture de la déviance, au sens des analyses de Becker (1963/1985) s’élabore. Trois de ces groupes de nouvelles ont été infiltrés afin de mieux comprendre les interactions qui s’y tissent entre les participants. Autour de la pornographie juvénile, l’analyse discursive de 1600 communications textuelles montre le processus de formation d’une véritable collectivité déviante de même que le déploiement de stratégies interactionnelles favorisant son maintien. L’analyse montre également comment cette collectivité déviante formée peut offrir aux usagers un cadre de légitimation qui s’édifie progressivement au fil de leurs échanges. Apparaissent en effet dans ce cadre les frontières d’une nouvelle norme de conduite pouvant neutraliser les effets de stigmatisation externe. La déviance est ici envisagée comme un processus social complexe où des acteurs sociaux finissent, suite à leur participation à la sous-culture, par occuper une place spécifique dans la construction symbolique de leur déviance (la pornographie juvénile).

Measurement of CPOE end-user satisfaction among ICU physicians and nurses
Authors: Carayon P. , Walker J.M. , Hoonakker P.L.T. 
Published: August 2010

Summary
Background: Implementation of Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) can fail or meet high levels of user resistance for a variety of reasons, including lack of attention to users’ needs and the significant workflow changes induced and required by CPOE. End-user satisfaction is a critical factor in IT implementation.
Objective: The goal of this study was to identify criteria to select a valid and reliable questionnaire to measure end-user satisfaction with CPOE.
Methods: We developed seven criteria that can be used to select valid and reliable questionnaires. We applied the selection criteria to existing end-user satisfaction questionnaires.
Results: Most of the questionnaires used to measure end-user satisfaction have been tested for reliability and validity and most of the questionnaires have reasonably reliability and some sort of validity. However, only one questionnaire, the Physician Order Entry User Satisfaction and Usage Survey (POESUS) met most of the other criteria we developed to select a questionnaire to evaluate CPOE implementation. We used the POESUS in our study and compared the results with other studies. Results show that users are moderately satisfied with CPOE.
Conclusion: Using the seven criteria we developed, it is possible to select reliable and valid questionnaires. We hope that in the future this will lead to an increasing number of studies using the same questionnaires. That will improve the possibilities for comparing the results of one study to another (benchmarking).
Anomalous Raman Scattering of Colloidal Yb3+,Er3+ Codoped NaYF4 Nanophosphors and Dynamic Probing of the Upconversion Luminescence

Published: August 2010

AbstractSize‐dependent Raman spectra of the hexagonal (β)‐phase Yb3+,Er3+ codoped NaYF4 nanophosphors and dynamic probing of the upconversion luminescence (UCL) are reported. Raman scattering results show the normal red shifts of Raman peaks but anomalous line narrowing with decreasing the particle sizes. The phonon confinement effects are believed to be dominated by the surface vibrational energies in affecting UCL. Dynamic decay data are then applied to quantitatively verify the surface effects and size‐dependent UCL. Dynamic probing is shown to be an efficient tool to both qualitatively and quantitatively characterize the upconversion nanophorphors (UCNPs) that have no “quantum efficiency.” The findings are relevant to the engineering of the nanostructures of the UCNPs for the applications of the bioimaging and photodynamic therapy.

Published: August 2010

AbstractObjectives:The goal of this research is to characterize the composition and nutrient adequacy of the diets in the northern region of the Department of Potosí, Bolivia. Communities in this semiarid, mountainous region are isolated and impoverished having the highest rates of child malnutrition and under‐five mortality in the Americas.Methods:A total of 2,222 twenty‐four‐hour dietary recalls were conducted in 30 communities during May and November 2006 and May and November 2007. Food composition data were compiled from diverse published sources and integrated with the recall data to estimate intakes of energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, and seven micronutrients. Diets were characterized in terms of food sources, seasonality, and nutrient adequacy.Results:The diet relies heavily on the potato and other tubers (54% of dietary energy) and grains (30% of dietary energy). Although crop production is seasonal, off‐season consumption ofchuñohelps to minimize seasonal fluctuations in dietary energy intake. Despite relative monotony, intakes of iron, vitamin C, most B vitamins, and vitamin A in adults are probably adequate; riboflavin, calcium, and vitamin A intakes in children are low. Nevertheless, extremely low dietary fat intakes (approximately 3–9% of dietary energy from fat) likely prevent adequate absorption of fat‐soluble vitamins as well as lead to deficiencies of essential fatty acids.Conclusions:Dietary inadequacies, especially of fats, may explain much of the poor health observed in northern Potosí. An improved diet may be possible through increasing production and intake of local fat‐rich food sources such as small animals. Am. J. Hum. Biol., 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Authors: Lie J. T. 
Published: August 2010

AbstractWe describe the histopathologic criteria for the diagnosis of 7 selected vasculitis syndromes: polyarteritis nodosa, Churg‐Strauss syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, hypersensitivity vasculitis, Henoch‐Schönlein purpura, giant cell (temporal) arteritis, and Takayasu arteritis. The criteria apply to the stereotypical cases in each category; they were formulated after a review of submitted biopsy material from 278 of the 1,000 patients entered into the American College of Rheumatology Vasculitis Study Registry, and from prior experience with the pathologic diagnosis of vasculitis in 1,079 nonregistry patients.

AbstractCriteria for the classification of hypersensitivity vasculitis were developed by comparing 93 patients who had this disease with 714 control patients with other forms of vasculitis. For the traditional format classification, 5 criteria were selected: age >16 at disease onset, history of taking a medication at onset that may have been a precipitating factor, the presence of palpable purpura, the presence of maculopapular rash, and a biopsy demonstrating granulocytes around an arteriole or venule. The presence of 3 or more of these 5 criteria was associated with a sensitivity of 71.0% and a specificity of 83.9%. A classification tree was also constructed. The criteria appearing in the tree structure were the same as for the traditional format, except there were 2 pathology criteria: one required the presence of granulocytes in the wall of an arteriole or venule, and the other required the presence of eosinophils in the inflammatory exudate. The classification tree was associated with a sensitivity of 78.5% and a specificity of 78.7%.
Glycoprotein specificity of cold‐reactive IgM antilymphocyte autoantibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus

Published: August 2010

AbstractSera from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus frequently contain IgM antibodies to glycoproteins of Mr 46,000 and ∼200,000 isolated from nonionic detergent lysates of mature T cells by affinity chromatography with solid‐phase wheat germ agglutinin. Autoantibodies of this specificity correlate strongly with the presence of IgM anti‐T cell autoantibodies, as determined by independent indirect immunofluorescence and complement‐dependent microcytotoxicity assays, and are specifically absorbed by incubation of patient serum with viable T cells. Collectively, the data suggest that gp46 and, to a lesser extent, gp∼200 represent major targets of IgM antilymphocyte autoantibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus.

AbstractSeven patients with thrombocytopenia and systemic lupus erythematosus were treated with intravenous (IV) doses of human immunoglobulin to assess clinical response and to examine the mechanism of action of IV immunoglobulin in these patients. Five of 7 patients had a >50% increase in their platelet counts. Four of these patients had a sustained benefit of at least 6 months duration. The initial effectiveness of IV immunoglobulin therapy was not dependent on the reduction of levels of circulating platelet‐binding IgG or circulating immune complexes.

Published: August 2010

AbstractMyositis has been associated with HLA‐B8 and DR3, especially in white patients with polymyositis and serum anti‐Jo‐1 antibodies. Twenty‐eight patients with myositis and serum translation‐related autoantibodies anti‐Jo‐1, anti‐PL‐7, anti‐PL‐12, anti‐KJ, and anti‐SRP were studied for HLA class II specificities by Southern blotting with HLA‐DRβ, DQβ, and DQα probes. The association of HLA‐DR3 (DRw17) with anti‐Jo‐1 antibodies in white myositis patients was confirmed (P = 0.003, relative risk 8.9). However, HLA‐DRw52 haplotypes, regardless of subtype, were present in all of the white and black patients with serum anti‐Jo‐1 and other translation‐related autoantibodies. Moreover, one anti‐Jo‐1 positive patient had HLA‐DRw8, an HLA‐DRw52 haplotype on which the DRβ3 gene has been partially deleted. No HLA‐DQ specificity or allele was common to all patients. The HLA‐DR3, DR5, DRw6, and DRw8 haplotypes, which bear the HLA‐DRw52 specificity, share the most homology in the DRβ1 first hypervariable region at amino acid positions 9–13. Thus, this DRβ1 region appears to be the most likely candidate “epitope” for translation‐related autoimmune responses in inflammatory myositis.

AbstractCombinatorial material synthesis is a powerful approach for creating composite material libraries for the high‐throughput screening of cell–material interactions. Although current combinatorial screening platforms have been tremendously successful in identifying target (termed “hit”) materials from composite material libraries, new material synthesis approaches are needed to further optimize the concentrations and blending ratios of the component materials. Here we employed a microfluidic platform to rapidly synthesize composite materials containing cross‐gradients of gelatin and chitosan for investigating cell–biomaterial interactions. The microfluidic synthesis of the cross‐gradient was optimized experimentally and theoretically to produce quantitatively controllable variations in the concentrations and blending ratios of the two components. The anisotropic chemical compositions of the gelatin/chitosan cross‐gradients were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and X‐ray photoelectron spectrometry. The three‐dimensional (3D) porous gelatin/chitosan cross‐gradient materials were shown to regulate the cellular morphology and proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in a gradient‐dependent manner. We envision that our microfluidic cross‐gradient platform may accelerate the material development processes involved in a wide range of biomedical applications. Biotechnol.
