Use of Macrolides and Tetracyclines for Chronic Inflammatory Diseases
Authors: Voils Stacy A , Evans Martin E , Lane Matthew T , Schosser Robert H , Rapp Robert P 
Published: November 2004

OBJECTIVE: To review the efficacy of macrolides and tetracyclines in several chronic inflammatory conditions. DATA SOURCES: Searches of MEDLINE (1966–March 2004) and an extensive bibliography search were undertaken. Key terms included acne, blepharitis, cardiovascular disease, cystic fibrosis, periodontitis, rosacea, and rheumatoid arthritis. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION: Data were obtained primarily from randomized placebo-controlled trials upon which key recommendations are based. DATA SYNTHESIS: Antibiotics are often prescribed for months or even years for treatment of chronic inflammatory conditions such as acne, blepharitis, cardiovascular disease, cystic fibrosis, periodontitis, rosacea, and rheumatoid arthritis. Randomized controlled trials have shown that azithromycin is useful in the management of cystic fibrosis and the tetracyclines are beneficial in the management of rheumatoid arthritis, acne, blepharitis, and periodontitis. Several large, randomized controlled trials have failed to show any benefit of macrolides in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. No randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials have been performed to assess the efficacy of macrolides or tetracyclines in patients with rosacea. CONCLUSIONS: The use of tetracyclines and macrolides for rosacea is based primarily on anecdotal reports or open-label trials. Limited clinical trials support the use of tetracyclines or macrolides in acne, blepharitis, periodontitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and cystic fibrosis. Trials to date do not support the use of antibiotics for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
Stabilität von Regelkreisen mit periodisch veränderlicher Totzeit (Stability Bounds for Control Systems with Time Varying Delay)
Authors: Tracht Rudolf , Thorausch Marc 
Published: November 2004

Abstract
Regelkreise mit variabler Totzeit sind im Zusammenhang mit der Regelung von Regelstrecken über Bussysteme mit variablen Übertragungszeiten von Interesse. Die Stabilitätsanalyse für solche Systeme wird in der Literatur meist mit der direkten Methode nach Ljapunov durchgeführt. Die damit bestimmten hinreichende Bedingungen für die Stabilität sind im Allgemeinen sehr einschränkend. Im Folgenden wird eine Methode beschrieben, die es gestattet, die tatsächliche Stabilitätsgrenze für spezielle Totzeitverläufe und lineare Regelstrecken zu bestimmen. Die Untersuchung erfolgt im Frequenzbereich.
Statische und dynamische Rückführung in nichtlinearen Deskriptorsystemen (Static and Dynamik Feedback in Nonlinear Descriptor Systems)
Authors: Gausch Felix , Müller Pia 
Published: November 2004

Abstract
Dieser Artikel behandelt die Linearisierung und Entkopplung des Eingangs-Ausgangsverhaltens von nichtlinearen, zeitinvarianten realisierbaren und regulären Deskriptorsystemen mithilfe von differentialgeometrischen Methoden. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Begriffe Index und differentielle Ordnung (relativer Grad) noch mit dem Summenindex und dem Ableitungsgrad zur adäquaten Fassung der Deskriptorsystemen innewohnenden Besonderheiten zu ergänzen sind. Mit ihrer Hilfe lassen sich dann die Systeme danach katalogisieren, ob die gestellte Aufgabe mit einer statischen Rückführung gelöst werden kann oder dazu eine dynamische Rückführung erforderlich ist. In der Entwurfsprozedur wird dort, wo im Zusammenhang mit AI-Zustandsmodellen die Lie-Ableitung auftritt, ein geeignet erweiterter Operator eingeführt, in den ein nach den (Ableitungen der) Deskriptorvariablen auflösbares Gleichungssystem eingeht, das mit einem zu diesem Zweck modifizierten Shuffle-Algorithmus aus den algebraischen Gleichungen ermittelt wird.

Bilateral limbic diffusion abnormalities in unilateral temporal lobe epilepsy
Authors: Concha Luis , Beaulieu Christian , Gross Donald W. 
Published: November 2004

AbstractDiffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging can acquire quantitative information on the microstructural integrity of white matter structures and depict brain connectivity in vivo based on the behavior of water diffusion. Diffusion tensor imaging–derived tractography has been used for virtual dissection of the fornix and cingulum in healthy subjects, but not in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Eight patients with medically intractable TLE and unilateral mesial temporal sclerosis and nine healthy control subjects were imaged using diffusion tensor imaging. Fiber tracking was performed to delineate the fornix and cingulum, which were quantitatively analyzed. Bilateral symmetrical reduction in fractional anisotropy was observed in the fornix of patients with TLE, together with an increase in water mobility perpendicular to the axis of the fibers. The findings in the cingulum are similar to those of the fornix with the exception of significantly increased bulk diffusivity in the latter. We observed strikingly symmetrical bilateral abnormalities of axonal integrity in the fornix and cingulum in a series of patients with unilateral mesial temporal sclerosis. Our findings suggest that TLE with unilateral mesial temporal sclerosis is associated with bilateral limbic system pathology. Ann Neurol 2004
SBS and SEBS block copolymers as impact modifiers for polypropylene compounds
Authors: Abreu F. O. M. S. , Forte M. M. C. , Liberman S. A. 
Published: November 2004

AbstractBlends of polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), namely SBS (styrene‐butadiene‐styrene) and SEBS (styrene‐ethylene/1‐butene‐styrene) block copolymers, were prepared to evaluate the effectiveness of the TPE type as an impact modifier for PP and influence of the concentration of elastomer on the polymer properties. Polypropylene homopolymer (PP‐H) and ethylene–propylene random copolymer (PP‐R) were evaluated as the PP matrix. Results showed that TPEs had a nucleating effect that caused the PP crystallization temperature to increase, with SBS being more effective than SEBS. Microstructure characterization tests showed that in most cases PP/SEBS blends showed the smallest rubber droplets regardless of the matrix used. It was seen that SEBS is a more effective toughening agent for PP than SBS. At 0°C the Izod impact strength of the PP‐H/SEBS 30% b/w blend was twofold higher than the SBS strength, with the PP‐R/SEBS 30% b/w blend showing no break. A similar behavior on tensile properties and flexural modulus were observed in both PP/TPE blends. Yield stress and tensile strength decreased and elongation at break increased by expanding the dispersed elastomeric phase in the PP matrix. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Anatomy of attentional networks
Authors: Raz Amir 
Published: November 2004

AbstractAttention is a central theme in psychological science. As with other biological systems, attention has a distinct anatomy that carries out basic psychological functions. Disparate attentional networks correlate with discrete neural circuitry and can be influenced by specific brain injuries, states, and drugs. Accordingly, thinking about attention as an organ system is advantageous for understanding the details of this complex cognitive process. In the context of an influential model of attention, this article introduces the broad notion of attention, then addresses its prominent characteristics, mechanisms, and theories. The presentation emphasizes the role of recent neuroimaging data in outlining the functional neuroanatomy subserving distinct attentional networks. A discussion of pertinent results connects attentional networks with self‐regulation, development, and rehabilitation training. Anat Rec (Part B: New Anat) 281B:21–36, 2004. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
The Pheromone Production of Female Plodia interpunctella Is Inhibited by Tyraminergic Antagonists

Published: November 2004

AbstractSeveral compounds were found to suppress the calling behavior and in vitro pheromone biosynthesis of the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella. The compounds were screened by means of a calling‐behavior bioassay with female P. interpunctella. Five derivatives with activities in the nanomolar range were identified, in order of decreasing pheromonostatic activity: 4‐hydroxybenzaldehyde semicarbazone (42) >5‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐1,3‐oxazole (38) >5‐[4‐(tert‐butyl)phenyl]‐1,3‐oxazole (40) >5‐(3‐methoxyphenyl)‐1,3‐oxazole (35) >5‐(4‐cyanophenyl)‐1,3‐oxazole (36). These compounds also showed in vitro inhibitory activity in intracellular de novo pheromone biosynthesis, as determined with isolated pheromone‐gland preparations that incorporated [1‐14C]sodium acetate in the presence of the so‐called pheromone‐biosynthesis‐activating neuropeptide (PBAN). The non‐additive effect of the inhibitor with antagonist (yohimbine) for the tyramine (TA) receptor suggests that it could be a tyraminergic antagonist.Three‐dimensional (3D) computer models were built from a set of compounds. Among the common‐featured models generated by the program Catalyst/HipHop, aromatic‐ring (AR) and H‐bond‐acceptor‐lipophilic (HBAl) features were considered to be essential for inhibitory activity in the calling behavior and in vitro pheromone biosynthesis. Active compounds, including yohimbine, mapped well onto all the AR and HBAl features of the hypothesis. Less‐active compounds were shown to be unable to achieve an energetically favorable conformation, consistent with our 3D common‐feature pharmacophore models. The present hypothesis demonstrates that calling behavior and PBAN‐stimulated incorporation of radioactivity are inhibited by tyraminergic antagonists.

Published: November 2004

AbstractFour new bibenzyls, bauhinols A–D (1–4), together with the two known bibenzyls 5 and 6, were isolated from the roots of Bauhinia saccocalyx, and their structures were elucidated by analyses of spectroscopic data.Bauhinol A (1) exhibits significant cytotoxicity towards NCI‐H187 (small‐cell lung cancer), BC (breast cancer), and KB (oral‐cavity cancer) cell lines, with IC50 values of 2.7–4.5 μg/ml. Bauhinol B (2) is cytotoxic against NCI‐H187 (IC50=1.1 μg/ml) and BC (IC50=9.7 μg/ml) cell lines, but inactive toward the KB cell line (at 20 μg/ml). Compound 2 also is mildly antifungal towards Candia albicans (IC50=28.9 μg/ml). Bibenzyl 6 is active against NCI‐H187 (IC50=14.1 μg/ml) and BC (IC50=4.0 μg/ml) cells, but inactive (at 20 μg/ml) toward the KB cell line. Compounds 1, 2, and 6 show mild antimycobacterial activities, with MIC values of 25–50 μg/ml, but are inactive at 20 μg/ml against the K1 malarial parasite strain (Plasmodium falciparum). While bauhinol A (1) is inactive against cyclooxygenase 1 (COX‐1) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX‐2), compounds 2 and 6 inhibit both COX‐1 and COX‐2, with IC50 values comparable to those of the standard drug, aspirin (Table 3).
