Tissue‐limited mosaicism for monosomy 13
Authors: Golabi Mahin , James Aaron W. , Good William V. , Cotter Philip D. 
Published: September 2010

AbstractKaryotypic discordance between different tissues in an individual is uncommon. We report on a patient with multiple congential anomalies and mosaicism for monosomy 13 limited to fibroblasts. Findings include microcephaly, agenesis of the corpus callosum, bilateral posterior colobomas, cataract and optic nerve dysplasia, patent foramen ovale, renal hypoplasia, hypospadias and unilateral inguinal hernia, unilateral hypoplasia of the lower limb, sparse and patchy hair, subtle pigmentary mosaicism, and global developmental delay. The lymphocyte karyotype was normal, whereas the fibroblast karyotype showed mosaicism for a del(13)(q11 → ter). Review of the literature identified three previous reports of similar patients with multiple congenital anomalies, normal lymphocyte karyotype, and subsequent, diagnostic fibroblast karyotyping. Comparison of the previously reported patients with the patient reported here defines a common phenotype for tissue‐limited mosaicism for monosomy 13 consisting of prenatal‐onset growth deficiency; microcephaly; facial abnormalities including prominent nasal bridge, hypertelorism, ptosis, epicanthal folds, microphthalmia, coloboma, retinoblastoma, prominent maxilla, micrognathia, and low‐set ears; limb abnormalities including small to absent thumbs, clinodactyly of fifth finger, fused metacarpal bones 4 and 5, talipes equinovarus, and short first toe; cardiac defect; renal anomalies; and genitalia abnormalities including hypospadias and cryptorchidism. In conclusion, this case further emphasizes that fibroblast karyotyping should be employed when the diagnosis remains unclear, especially in the presence of pigmentary mosaicism or segmental hypoplasia. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Early onset mandibuloacral dysplasia due to compound heterozygous mutations in ZMPSTE24
Authors: Ahmad Zahid , Zackai Elaine , Medne Livija , Garg Abhimanyu 
Published: September 2010

AbstractMandibuloacral dysplasia (MAD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hypoplasia of the mandible and clavicles, acro‐osteolysis, and lipodystrophy due to mutations in LMNA or ZMPSTE24. Only six MAD patients are reported so far with ZMPSTE24 mutations and limited phenotypic data are available for them. Here, we report on two brothers (4 years and 9‐month old) with early onset MAD due to ZMPSTE24 mutations in whom thin skin was noted as early as 5 months of age. Both had micrognathia, mottled hyperpigmentation, and enlarged fontanelles but little evidence of lipodystrophy. There was no delay of mental development. The older brother had small pinched nose, short clavicles, acro‐osteolysis, stunted growth, joint stiffness, and repeated fractures. There was no evidence of renal disease. Both patients were compound heterozygotes harboring a previously reported missense ZMPSTE24 mutation, p.Pro248Leu, and a novel null mutation, p.Trp450stop. These patients and the review of literature reveal that compared to MAD patients with LMNA mutations, those with ZMPSTE24 mutations develop manifestations earlier in life. Other distinguishing features in MAD due to ZMPSTE24 mutations may include premature birth, renal disease, calcified skin nodules, and lack of acanthosis nigricans. We conclude that in patients with MAD due to ZMPSTE24 mutations, the onset of disease manifestations such as thin skin and micrognathia occurs as early as 5 months of age. In these patients, skeletal phenotype presents earlier whereas lipodystrophy and renal disease may occur later in life. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Effect of oxygen on the crosslinking and mechanical properties of a thermoset formed by free‐radical photocuring
Authors: Pilkenton Morgan , Lewman Jeremiah , Chartoff Richard 
Published: September 2010

AbstractIn this article, we report on the formation of optically transparent photopolymer films from hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) by inkjet printing, where droplets of monomer approximately 5 μm in diameter were deposited onto a surface. The films were cured by irradiation with a UV‐light‐emitting‐diode light source. It was found that the inkjet‐printed HDDA films picked up a considerable amount of absorbed O2 during printing. Exposure to increasing amounts of O2 during photocuring severely restricted both the degree of conversion and the UV dose required for gelation in proportion to the O2 concentration. Viscoelastic property data indicated that exposure to reduced oxygen concentrations during thermal postcuring (dark reaction) resulted in linear trends of increasing modulus above the glass‐transition temperature (Tg) and increasing Tg itself. Thus, the final crosslink density was greater in fully cured samples that were exposed to atmospheres with increasing inert gas concentrations. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011
Improvement of water quality using alginate/montmorillonite composite beads
Authors: Shawky Hosam A. 
Published: September 2010

AbstractThe aim of this study is to explore naturally occurring sorbents that have high affinity for heavy metal treatment. In this respect, series of polymer‐clay composite beads that consists of Na‐alginate and montmorillonite clay were prepared using CaCl2 as crosslinker. The prepared composite bead was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Removal of lead from aqueous solution using this bead was then studied in batch adsorption experiments. The amount of lead removed was found to increase as the percent of Na‐alginate increase in the composite beads. The experimental results also showed that the equilibrium contact time was obtained within ∼ 100 min with (t1/2) of 50% adsorption in less than 10 min. Lead adsorption was found to be strongly pH‐dependent and display a maximum uptake capacity (244.6 mg/g) at pH 6 and minimum uptake (76.6 mg/g) at pH 1. Maximum lead adsorption was found to increase with increasing initial lead concentration in the feed solution and with decreasing temperature of experiment. Based on alginate‐montmorillonite beads packed columns, a highly efficient method for Pb(II) removal from aqueous solution was developed. The effect of flow rate on adsorption of 100 mg/L Pb(II) in the packed‐bed column was investigated by changing the flow rate between 0.5 and 2.5 mL min−1. The recovery of 100 mg/L Pb(II) in the packed‐bed column was found to be 100% at flow rates 0.5 and 1 mL min−1 then lowered to be 93% and 84% at flow rates 1.5 and 2.5 mL min−1, respectively. The effect of Pb(II) flow concentration ranging from 10 to 1000 mg/L on the adsorption of lead ions at constant flow rate 1.0 mL min−1 was also studied using column procedure. Technical feasibility for the uses of the prepared composite beads for the treatment of actual polluted wastewater samples collected from some industrial cities in Egypt was investigated. The evaluation of the system was performed by a complete analysis of heavy metals in the wastewater samples before and after the treatment process. The results showed a promising possibility for producing wastewater of better quality using such prepared beads. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011
Polymeric proton conducting systems based on commercial polymers: Crossover analysis and single cell testing
Authors: Escribano P. G. , Del Río Y C. , Acosta J. L. 
Published: September 2010

AbstractContinuing with the work published previously (Escribano et al., J Appl Polym Sci 2004, 93, 2394; Escribano et al., J Appl Polym Sci 2006, 102, 13) this article shows the final part of the characterization of the films object of our study, containing hydrogenated poly(butadiene‐styrene) block copolymer, ethylene‐propylene terpolymer, and a third component, polypropylene, polystyrene or silica, crosslinked with peroxides and heterogeneously sulfonated. Water uptake and methanol crossover were determined, and the results were compared with those of Nafion prepared by casting. A complete Membrane electrode Assembly was tested in a single cell obtaining the polarization and power curves at different temperatures and pressures, and modeling it by an electrical equivalent circuit in the symmetrical mode configuration using the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique. This study offers a physical interpretation relating physical parameters to several processes occurring in the system. Methanol crossover is lower than in Nafion, and power density values are in some cases higher than in Nafion. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011
Free volume, adhesion, and viscoelastic properties of model nanostructured pressure‐sensitive adhesive based on stoichiometric complex of poly(N‐vinyl pyrrolidone) and poly(ethylene glycol) of disparate chain lengths

Published: September 2010

AbstractPositron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy was used to characterize the size and content of subnanoscopic free volume in a model pressure‐sensitive adhesive based on a stoichiometric hydrogen‐bonded network complex of poly(N‐vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and oligomeric poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). Adhesive properties were examined with peel and probe tack tests, and mechanical properties were studied with tensile test. Nonequimolar stoichiometry and the structure of PVP–PEG model pressure‐sensitive adhesive blends were found to be determined by the length of PEG short chains. The size and number density of free volume domains in the PVP–PEG blends were determined as functions of blend composition and relative humidity of the surrounding atmosphere, which controls the amount of absorbed water. Correlating the free volume, adhesion behaviors, and tensile properties of the blends, the range of free volume favoring pressure‐sensitive adhesion in examined compositions was established. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of New Nonclassical Acridines, Quinolines, and Quinazolines Derived from Dimedone for Biological Evaluation
Authors: Sabbagh Osama I. El‐ , Shabaan Mohamed A. , Kadry Hanan H. , Al‐Din Ehab Saad 
Published: September 2010

AbstractNew nonclassical acridines, quinolines, and quinazolines were prepared starting from cyclic β‐diketones, namely dimedone, through application of Hantzsch addition, Michael addition, and Mannich reactions, respectively. The antimicrobial activity revealed that decahydroacridin‐1,8‐dione 2e bearing a 3‐nitrophenyl group and hexahydroquinoline 4e having a 2,4‐dichlorophenyl moiety were the most active compounds against both Gram‐positive and ‐negative bacteria based upon using the disc diffusion method. Cytotoxic activity studies for decahydroacridin‐1,8‐diones 2a–e against liver carcinoma cells (HepG2) using the MTT cell viability assay revealed that decahydroacridin‐1,8‐dione bearing a 4‐methylphenyl moiety 2d showed a higher cytotoxic activity (IC50 = 4.42 µg/mL) than the other derivatives.
Multiple forms of stakeholder interaction in environmental management: business arguments regarding differences in stakeholder relationships
Authors: Onkila Tiina 
Published: September 2010

AbstractThis study describes and interprets differences in stakeholder interaction as rhetorically constructed in environmental reports and in interviews with environmental managers. It also interprets the role of the natural environment among stakeholders, and discusses how that role is justified or not justified. The study focuses in a business perspective on stakeholder interaction in environmental management. Characteristically, stakeholder studies of environmental management have concentrated on stakeholder influence or the creation of stakeholder management models. In contrast to those, the present study identifies different types of stakeholder relationships: power‐based, collaborative, conflicting, and one‐sided. Through descriptions of those relationships, business actors participate in the power to define responsibility, share responsibility among actors, question environmental interest, and justify environmental impacts. The results of the study demonstrate that, when regarding environmental issues in business, instead of analysing single stakeholder attributes or a single stakeholder relationship, business professionals should be able to manage differences in stakeholder relationships. No universal stakeholder management tools can be created for this purpose, rather stakeholder interaction in environmental management requires analysis of the actors involved, the attributes of relationships, and the attributes of stakeholder interests and identification of differences in those.

Assessing collective firm behavior: comparing industrial symbiosis with possible alternatives for individual companies in Oahu, HI
Authors: Chertow Marian , Miyata Yuko 
Published: September 2010

AbstractAre companies better off acting collectively in sharing resources, such that one company's waste becomes another company's feedstock, or is it strategically preferable to act individually to minimize resource flows? Eleven enterprises on Oahu, HI, were found to be exchanging nine different materials, constituting previously undocumented industrial symbiosis collaboration, anchored by a coal‐fired power plant in the Campbell Industrial Park. The environmental and economic performance of eight companies exchanging six of these materials is assessed based on price and quantity data collected during interviews with the participants. The largest environmental benefits were found to be reduced landfilling and conservation of primary materials, including 40 million gallons of fresh water and approximately 17 800 tons of coal annually. The research finds that symbiotic solutions, when made visible, are often preferable, especially on an island. Indeed, company managers who fail to consider symbiotic solutions for resource issues risk overlooking the most effective strategic options.

Mǔllerian cyst of the mesentery: A case report of an unusual location
Authors: Boghossian Shahe , Dasgupta Kaushik , Haugk Beate , White Steve 
Published: September 2010

AbstractMǔllerian cysts or paramesonephric cysts arise from the fused embryonic ducts, which typically regress in the uterus. These cysts are usually located paravertebrally. We present an unusual case of a Mǔllerian cyst developing within the mesentery of the ileocecum that was successfully resected. The patient presented to our surgical unit with abdominal pain and swelling. She underwent all the necessary tests to rule out other pathologies before she underwent right hemicolectomy. The patient was discharged without complications. Histopathology confirmed the presence of female reproductive tract epithelium, which was conclusive of a Mǔllerian cyst or paramesonephric cyst. Mǔllerian cysts are rarely malignant, and they are usually treated surgically. The incidence of Mǔllerian cysts is one in 105,000, with almost equal sex distribution. Their unusual intraperitoneal location further demonstrates their uncommon presentation. Clin. Anat. 23:866–869, 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
The relationship between energy status and AMP‐activated protein kinase in human H460 lung cancer cells

Published: September 2010

AbstractIn cultured cells, glucose and serum provide constant sources of energy and growth factors, both of which are important for cell survival and proliferation. AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a key role in sensing intracellular ATP levels and acts as a critical regulator of energy homeostasis. To investigate the relationship between energy status and AMPK activity in lung cancer, H460 cells were starved in either glucose‐free or serum‐free medium and then re‐stimulated with glucose and serum, respectively. The levels of ATP and lactate and the activities of AMPK and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were analyzed at different time intervals. During glucose treatment, the activity of AMPK was induced by glucose and showed biphasic reaction kinetics. The ATP level was gradually increased up to 2‐fold compared with that in serum treatment after 24 h and lactate level was decreased to approximately 60%. The LDH activity slightly increased and reached a peak after 6 h. During serum treatment, the activity of AMPK was suppressed and the ATP level showed a dramatic 30% increase after 1 h. In contrast, the lactate level was gradually increased and then reverted to the background level after 24 h. The activity of LDH was slightly decreased after 12 h and eventually returned to the background level. This study showed the alteration of energy status in lung cancer cells in response to altered levels of glucose and serum. We suggest that the activation of AMPK and inhibition of glycolysis might be exploited as therapeutic tactics in cancer treatment. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
