Identification of the Interleukin-6 Polymorphism (-174) in the Saliva of Hemodialysis Patients
Authors: Resende Leonardo Diniz , Barros Luiz Adriano Teixeira do Rego , Pavesi Larissa , Sendyk Wilson Roberto , Kim Yeon Jung , Pallos Débora 
Published: June 2024

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease is prevalent in the general population and is associated with high morbidity and mortality and its pathogenic mechanisms are related to pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as Interleukin 6 (IL-6). It is known that polymorphisms associated with IL-6 can trigger a different immune response in the individual and therefore be a determining factor in the progression of the disease. The idea of using saliva as an analysis matrix for diagnostic methods suggests that the methodology may be viable due to the easy way collection of these fluids and the amount of information in saliva molecular constituents.
Aims: To identify the relationship between IL-6 polymorphism (-174) in dialysis patients using saliva.
Methodology: 53 individuals were assessed, divided into a test group: 27 on hemodialysis; and a control group: 26 healthy individuals. Saliva samples were collected, DNA was extracted, and genotyping was performed using Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). For statistical analysis, the c2 was performed on categorical data.
Results: The genotype frequency identified was 33.33% GC, 59.25% GG and 7.42% CC for the hemodialysis group and 19.23% GC, 50% GG and 30.77% CC for the healthy group(p=0.0806).
Conclusion: It was possible to verify the presence of the IL-6 (-174) polymorphism in saliva. Nonetheless, the predominance of GG was not significant, corroborating with other studies, that also indicate no relation between IL-6 Polymorphism and CKD. In this study, it was not possible to correlate hemodialysis patients with the polymorphism studied, but more studies about this subject are necessary, mainly in countries with diverse population, as Brazil.
Presserechtliche Unwägbarkeiten der sog. MeToo-Berichterstattung
Authors: Schumacher Marvin 
Published: June 2024

Zusammenfassung
Ausgangspunkt der sog. MeToo-Debatte im Jahr 2017 waren Vorwürfe der Vergewaltigung, des sexuellen Missbrauchs und der sexuellen Nötigung unter Ausnutzung einer Machtposition. Mittlerweile wird unter diesem Schlagwort über eine Vielzahl von sexualisierten Fehlverhaltensweisen ober- und unterhalb der Schwelle des Strafrechts von mehr oder weniger prominenten Männern gegenüber Frauen berichtet. Das Publikmachen derartiger Übergriffe ist eine der wichtigsten gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen der letzten Jahre. Gleichwohl ist auch eine inflationäre Kontextualisierung unter dem Hashtag MeToo zu verzeichnen. Die Gründe hierfür sind vielfältig, führen in Gerichtsverfahren jedoch oft zu „klassischen“, aber auch zu neuen pressrechtlichen Unwägbarkeiten, die dieser Beitrag in Grundzügen zu skizzieren versucht.
Fabrication of hybrid ladderlike polysilsesquioxane‐grafted multiwalled carbon nanotubes
Authors: Lee Seung‐Hwa , Lim Jung‐Hyurk , Kim Kyung‐Min 
Published: November 2011

AbstractLadderlike polysilsesquioxanes (LPSs) containing chloromethylphenyl groups were synthesized from (p‐chloromethyl)phenyltrimethoxysilane under basic conditions. Functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT–COOH) were prepared by the acid treatment of pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). MWNT–COOH was reacted with LPS to prepare LPS‐grafted MWNTs via ester linkages. The functionalization of MWNTs with LPS significantly altered the surface roughness of the MWNTs; there was a significant increase in the diameter of the MWNTs. The LPS‐grafted MWNTs had a 10–20 nm thickness along the outer walls according to the functionalization of the MWNTs with LPS. An advantage of the hybrid LPS‐grafted MWNTs was shown as improved thermal behavior. The composition, thermal properties, and surface morphology of the LPS‐grafted MWNTs were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, energy‐dispersive spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Investigating the threat of non‐native North American signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) to salmon redds

ABSTRACT

To test their ability to detect and excavate Atlantic salmon eggs (Salmo salar) in an artificial redd, North American signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) were exposed to three successive experimental treatments.
Crayfish successfully detected and excavated buried fish but were unable to detect buried salmon eggs, despite significant opportunity.
The results strongly suggest that signal crayfish do not present a threat to Atlantic salmon via egg predation. In the wild, however, the vulnerability of redds may vary according to a range of biotic and abiotic factors. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Studies of EPR g factors for tetragonal and rhombic Cr5+ centers in ferroelectric PbTiO3
Authors: Yu‐Guang Yang , Yang Mei , Ping Su , Wen‐Chen Zheng 
Published: November 2011

AbstractThe anisotropic g factors (gx, gy, gz) at low temperature and the motionally averaged isotropic g factor at high temperature for two Cr5+ centers, the tetragonal t‐Cr5+ center and the rhombic O‐Cr5+ center, in ferroelectric PbTiO3 are calculated from the high‐order perturbation formulas based on a two‐mechanism model. In the model, the contributions to g factors from both the crystal‐field (CF) mechanism concerning the CF excited states and the charge‐transfer (CT) mechanism (which is neglected in CF theory) concerning the CT excited states are contained. The calculated results are in reasonable agreement with the experimental values. From the calculations, the defect models of t‐Cr5+ center (which is attributed to Cr5+ in the tetragonally‐compressed octahedron caused by Jahn‐Teller effect rather than in the tetragonally‐elongated octahedron in the host PbTiO3) and O‐Cr5+ center (which is due to the t‐Cr5+ center perturbated by the electrical polarization perpendicular to the C4 axis) are confirmed, and the defect structure of t‐Cr5+ center is obtained. It is found that in the precise calculations of g factors for the high valence state d1 ions in crystals, both the contributions due to CF and CT mechanisms should be taken into account.

Sublimation growth of c ‐plane AlN single crystals on SiC substrates
Authors: Sumathi R. R. , Gille P. 
Published: November 2011

Abstract1‐inch diameter, (0001)‐plane AlN single crystals were grown on 6H‐SiC substrates by the sublimation method. With the optimised growth conditions, 1–3 mm thick, yellow‐coloured crystals with smooth c ‐facet and good structural properties were obtained. X‐ray diffraction rocking curves show a full width at half maximum (FWHM) value of about 100 arcsec. The crystal surface exhibits 3D‐microstructures with different morphologies as observed by laser scanning microscopy. All these structures reflect the hexagonal symmetry. The origin of these structures was further investigated by atomic force microscopy and an overlapping double growth spiral was observed in the middle of these structures that is attributed to a dislocation core. Green colouration observed in some of the grown crystals was analysed with the electron probe microanalysis and the results infer that more incorporation of carbon may be the cause. Further a high silicon content of up to 5.5 wt% was observed at the top layer of 3 mm thick green‐coloured crystals whereas 3 wt% were measured for the yellow‐coloured ones. The distribution of Si is uniform over the entire diameter of the crystals. Yellowish crystals show improved structural properties compared to the greenish ones. The FWHM value and the peak positions of Raman phonon modes represent a high crystalline quality and also confirm that the crystals are relaxed from stress. Raman micro‐mapping analysis indicates the presence of small, localized tensile stress on the growth spiral region, whereas this is not observed at smooth areas of the crystal surface without spirals. Uniform E2(high) FWHM and phonon intensity over the entire mapped area further prove that the grown crystals are structurally very homogeneous. (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
Experimental proof of voltage‐current waveform sensor output of resin molded type for measurement of power factor and harmonics in general power distribution system

Published: November 2011

AbstractWe have proposed a voltage‐current sensor of resin molded type for measurement of the power factor and harmonics. To understand the characteristics of the conventional prototype sensor and the problems of its practical use, we conducted a finite element analysis. Problems involving the cost and practical usage of the sensor were identified. Therefore, we have redesigned the prototype sensor, incorporating the current sensor designed on the basis of the FEM and a ready‐made voltage sensor. In this paper, we describe feasibility field experiments with the present sensor in a practical 6.6‐kV distribution system and show that the sensor can measure the power factor and harmonics of horizontal and vertical power line systems successfully. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
