Verbal ability, self‐control, and close relationships with parents protect children against misleading suggestions
Authors: Clarke‐Stewart K. Alison , Malloy Lindsay C. , Allhusen Virginia D. 
Published: December 2004

AbstractSuggestibility to misleading questions about events that occurred in a laboratory playroom visit 9 months earlier was assessed in 70 5‐year‐old children (54% boys). Six measures of children's suggestibility were coded from videotaped and transcribed interviews: agreement with false suggestions that the research assistant had undressed them, hit them, hurt them, touched them on the bottom, and done bad things, and a overall rating of suggestibility. These measures of suggestibility were related to characteristics of the child and family that had been collected over the course of a longitudinal study beginning when the children were 1 month of age. Children who had more advanced verbal abilities, adaptive inhibitory control, and close and secure relationships with supportive and psychological healthy parents were better able to resist the interviewer's suggestive questions and persuasive attempts.

Moral suggestibility: the complex interaction of developmental, cultural and contextual factors
Authors: Saltzstein Herbert , Dias Maria da G. , Millery Mari 
Published: December 2004

AbstractIn Study 1, 193 children, half in New York City and half in Recife, Brazil, heard hypothetical dilemmas about whether to keep a promise or tell the truth. An adult interviewer suggested the alternative to the child's initial choice. Younger children (5 to 8 year olds) were more suggestible than older children (10 to 12 year olds), US more than Brazilian children; and suggestibility occurred more frequently from promise to truth than vice versa. In Study 2, children in each country were interviewed either by an older adult or by a ‘teenager’. Suggestibility was greater when the interviewer was an adult than a teenager in the US, but not in Brazil. Findings are discussed in terms of developmental trajectories, from heteronomy to autonomy, and authority relations within cultures. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
No Correlation between GSH Levels in Human Cancer Cell Lines and the Cell Growth Inhibitory Activities of Platinum Diamine Complexes

Published: December 2004

AbstractIncreases in the intracellular levels of glutathione (GSH) in cancer cells have been implicated in the development of acquired resistance to platinum antitumor agents. On the other hand, little information is available on the relationships between the intracellular GSH levels in non‐treated cancer cells and their response to platinum complexes. The present work investigated for possible correlations between concentrations of intracellular GSH/GSSG in 14 human cancer cell lines growing in vitro and the cell growth inhibitory activities of cis platin, carboplatin, oxaliplatin, and d, l‐trans‐1, 2‐diaminocyclohexane‐dichloroplatinum(II) (DACH‐Pt). No statistically significant correlations between GSH levels and the activities of any of the four Pt‐complexes could be found.
A Mixture‐of‐Genotypes Model for the Distribution of Thermostable Phenol Sulfotransferase Activity
Authors: Joo Jungnam , Ahn Hongshik , Delongchamp Robert R. , Nowell Susan A. , Lang Nicholas P. 
Published: December 2004

AbstractA statistical method for parametric density estimation based upon a mixture‐of‐genotypes model is developed for the thermostable phenol sulfotransferase (SULT1A1) activity which has a putative role in modifying risk for colon and prostate cancer/polyps. The EM algorithm for the general mixture model is modified to accommodate the genetic constraints and is used to estimate genotype frequencies from the distribution of the SULT1A1 phenotype. A parametric bootstrap likelihood ratio test is considered as a testing method for the number of mixing components. The size and power of the test is then investigated and compared with the conventional chi‐squared test. The relative risk associated with genotypes defined by this model is also investigated through the generalized linear model. This analysis revealed that a genotype with the highest mean value of SULT1A1 activity has greater impact on cancer risk than others. This result suggests that the phenotype with a higher SULT1A1 activity might be important in studying the association between the cancer risk and SULT1A1 activity. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Inference for a RPW‐Type Clinical Trial with Repeated Monitoring for the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: Biswas Atanu , Dewanji Anup 
Published: December 2004

AbstractThe present paper describes a controlled clinical trial to investigate the effect of Pulsed Electro‐Magnetic Field for the treatment of sequentially entering patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. According to the study design, repeated monitorings of the patients are carried out to assess their clinical status. The allocation of the entering patients to either a therapy group or a placebo group is done using a newly designed adaptive allocation rule termed as randomized longitudinal play‐the‐winner rule. A discussion of some inference procedures is followed by the analysis of a real data, which shows a clear preference of the therapy over the placebo. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Authors: Cohen Arthur , Kolassa John , Sackrowitz H. B. 
Published: December 2004

AbstractConsider K ordered 2 × 2 contingency tables. A new test of the null hypothesis that the odds ratios of these tables are equal vs the alternative hypothesis that the odds ratios are nondecreasing, is recommended. The test is exact (non‐asymptotic), is easily carried out (software is available), and has other favorable properties. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
Linear Diagonals‐Parameter Symmetry and Quasi‐Symmetry Models for Cumulative Probabilities in Square Contingency Tables with Ordered Categories
Authors: Miyamoto Nobuko , Ohtsuka Wataru , Tomizawa Sadao 
Published: December 2004

AbstractFor the analysis of square contingency tables with ordered categories, Caussinus (1965) considered the quasi‐symmetry (QS) model, Goodman (1979) considered the diagonals‐parameter symmetry (DPS) model, and Agresti (1983) considered the linear diagonals‐parameter symmetry (LDPS) model. These models show the structures of symmetry for cell probabilities. Tomizawa (1993) proposed another DPS model which has a similar multiplicative form for cumulative probabilities that an observation will fall in row (column) category i or below and column (row) category j (>i) or above. This paper proposes another LDPS and QS models that have the corresponding similar multiplicative forms for cumulative probabilities instead of cell probabilities. Special cases of the proposed models include symmetry. Two kinds of unaided distance vision data and endometrial cancer data are analyzed using these models. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Modified GEE and Goodness of the Marginal Fit (GOMF) Test with Correlated Binary Responses for Contingency Tables
Authors: Lee Ji‐Hyun , Qaqish Bahjat F. 
Published: December 2004

AbstractThis paper addresses testing the goodness of fit of models for marginal probabilities estimated by generalized estimating equations. We develop a modified version of generalized estimating equation and a goodness‐of‐fit test based on the fitted marginal means. The test statistic is easy to compute and has a simple reference distribution. Its performance is evaluated asymptotically and in small samples. It is also compared to the deviance and Pearson X2 statistics. Example applications are given. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

AbstractBACKGROUNDThe authors studied the clinical outcome of 106 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who developed a bone marrow recurrence as the first adverse event after contemporary intensified therapy.METHODSEndpoints were the rates and lengths of second remission, the cumulative incidence of second hematologic recurrence, second event‐free survival (EFS), and survival.RESULTSBone marrow recurrences were isolated in 79 patients, and combined with an extramedullary site in 27 patients. The median time to recurrence was 2.6 years (range, 0.3–11.6 years). Seventy‐six patients (71.7%) attained a second remission (median length, 0.7 year; range, 0.03–13.3 years). The 5‐year survival probability among all patients was 24.2% ± 4.2% (standard error). On multivariate analysis, time to first disease recurrence and blast cell lineage were found to be independent predictors of a second EFS (P= 0.008 andP= 0.028, respectively). The 5‐year EFS estimate in patients with an initial disease remission of ≥ 36 months was 42.6% ± 7.8% but was only 12.5% ± 3.9% among children with a short duration of disease remission (< 36 months). These estimates were 28.7% ± 4.9% and 5.0% ± 3.4%, respectively, for B blast and T blast cell lineages.CONCLUSIONSDespite acceptable long‐term second EFS rates for certain subgroups, overall bone marrow recurrence after intensified first‐line therapy for childhood ALL signals a poor outcome.

Effect of advanced chilling methods on lipid damage during sardine (Sardina pilchardus) storage
Authors: Losada Vanesa , Barros‐Velázquez Jorge , Gallardo José M. , Aubourg Santiago P. 
Published: December 2004

AbstractSlurry ice is a biphasic system consisting of small spherical ice crystals surrounded by seawater at subzero temperature. Its effect on lipid damage (hydrolysis and oxidation) was evaluated during the chilled storage of a fatty fish species, sardine (Sardina pilchardus). Slurry ice treatment was checked alone and in combination with ozone and compared to traditional flake icing during a 22‐day storage. Different lipid damage indices (free fatty acids, FFA; peroxide value, PV; thiobarbituric acid index, TBA‐i; fluorescent compounds, FR) were checked and compared to sensory assessment and nucleotide degradation (K value). According to lipid hydrolysis (FFA) and oxidation (PV and FR) developments, slurry ice showed an inhibitory effect (p <0.05) on lipid damage during storage, as well as an inhibition of nucleotide autolytic degradation. Ozonised slurry ice did not provide differences (p >0.05) from slurry ice alone when considering lipid hydrolysis, nucleotide degradation and some lipid oxidation indices (PV and FR), although a higher (p <0.05) TBA‐i was observed at day 22 of storage when compared to flake ice and slurry ice treatments. However, a lower (p <0.05) fluorescence development was observed for fish treated under ozonised slurry ice when compared to traditionally iced fish. Sensory assessment showed a higher shelf life for fish samples treated under ozonised slurry ice than for their counterparts under slurry ice (15 d versus 12 d), while flake icing led to a far shorter shelf life (5 d). According to sensory and biochemical (lipid matter and nucleotide) analysis, slurry ice has proved to be a promising technology for damage inhibition and quality retention in a fatty fish species such as sardine. Ozonised slurry ice was also shown to be useful, since a longer shelf life was obtained in the present experiment and a pro‐oxidant effect of ozone on sardine lipids was not proved.
Data management for the Cold Land Processes Experiment: improving hydrological science
Authors: Parsons Mark A. , Brodzik Mary J. , Rutter Nick J. 
Published: December 2004

AbstractThe Cold Land Processes Field Experiment (CLPX) produced 37 data sets totalling about one terabyte in volume. This presented a considerable challenge for data managers. Two unique aspects of the CLPX data management process include participation of data specialists in field data collection and identification of one person, the ‘data wrangler’, to coordinate the acquisition of the entire collection of the experiment data. These unique aspects increased the quality and completeness of the overall CLPX collection. Data managers were guided by basic data management principles from the literature, including consideration of potential future users and applications and an imperative to keep data as simple and as flexible as possible. These principles guided data management decisions about data formats, data integration, data presentation, and documentation. This principle‐based approach improved the usability and long‐term viability of CLPX data. It is recommended that data managers be involved early in the planning of future large‐scale field experiments and that data managers develop appropriate principle‐based rubrics for guidance through persistent data‐management challenges.

Co‐sleeping: Help or hindrance for young children's independence?
Authors: Keller Meret A. , Goldberg Wendy A. 
Published: December 2004

AbstractThis study investigated the relationship between sleep arrangements and claims regarding possible problems and benefits related to co‐sleeping. Participants were 83 mothers of preschool‐aged children. Data were collected through parent questionnaires. Early co‐sleepers (who began co‐sleeping in infancy), reactive co‐sleepers (children who began co‐sleeping at or after age one), and solitary sleepers were compared on the dimensions of maternal attitudes toward sleep arrangements; night wakings and bedtime struggles; children's self‐reliance and independence in social and sleep‐related behaviours; and maternal autonomy support. The hypothesis that co‐sleeping would interfere with children's independence was partially supported: solitary sleepers fell asleep alone, slept through the night, and weaned earlier than the co‐sleepers. However, early co‐sleeping children were more self‐reliant (e.g. ability to dress oneself) and exhibited more social independence (e.g. make friends by oneself). Mothers of early co‐sleeping children were least favourable toward solitary sleep arrangements and most supportive of their child's autonomy, as compared to mothers in other sleep groups. Reactive co‐sleepers emerged as a distinct co‐sleeping sub‐type, with parents reporting frequent night wakings and, contrary to early co‐sleepers, experiencing these night wakings as highly disruptive. Implications for parents and pediatricians are discussed. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Skin conductance and heart‐rate responses as indices of covert face recognition in preschool children
Authors: Stormark Kjell Morten 
Published: December 2004

AbstractCovert face recognition was examined in 12 young preschoolers (age range 26–48 months) by comparing their autonomic functions to slides depicting former playmates from a family nursery school that the preschoolers had attended earlier with slides of their present playmates and unfamiliar children. While all preschoolers reported corroborated overt recognition of present playmates after the experiment, only three of them did so in relation to former playmates. The distribution of yes–no responses on the overt recognition task to former playmates was not significantly different from the responses to unfamiliar children. Nevertheless, the preschoolers evidenced increased skin conductance responses (SCRs) and more pronounced heart rate (HR) deceleration to the slides depicting former classmates compared to unfamiliar children. Thus, although the preschoolers' verbal responses did not differentiate between former playmates and unfamiliar children, their autonomic functions did. These findings suggest that young children can retain memories of past experiences in an implicit form without corroborated overt recognition. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Healthy and chronically‐ill children's generalisation of illness to biological and non‐biological categories
Authors: Buchanan‐Barrow Eithne , Barrett Martyn , Bati Mariangela 
Published: December 2004

AbstractUsing children's naïve theory of biology as a framework, this study investigated children's developing understanding of illness by examining their generalisation of illness to biological and non‐biological categories. In addition to differences associated with age, the children's health status was investigated for any possible linkwith their understanding. Healthy and chronically‐ill children, aged 4–11 years, were randomly assigned to one of three conditions, according to which exemplar (child, dog or duck) was described as suffering from an imaginary illness. Using a card‐sorting technique, the children assessed whether each entity out of 30 entities (five representatives in each of six categories: humans, mammals, non‐mammals, birds, plants and artifacts) could be afflicted by that illness. The children's generalisations indicated a grasp of the distinctiveness of the various categories, although they seemed less certain about the biological status of plants. Furthermore, the type of exemplar on which the children had been taught influenced their responses. However, the children's reasoning appeared unaffected by their health status and largely unaffected by age or gender. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Long‐term therapeutic plasma exchange in the outpatient setting using an implantable central venous access device

Published: December 2004

AbstractWe presented the results of our prospective trial of the Bard CathLink® 20 in outpatient therapeutic plasma exchange in May 2000. Since the close of that study, three of the original subjects and one additional subject have received continuous outpatient treatment using the device. We report herein on its long‐term use. Four patients with demyelinating polyneuropathy underwent outpatient plasma exchange of 1–1¼ plasma volumes using Bard CathLink® 20 venous access devices for up to 2½ years. Treatment schedules varied according to the status of the patient's neuropathy. Four men (age 59, 60, 76, 79) underwent 55, 56, 38, and 41 plasma exchanges over 18.5, 18, 20, and 38.5 months, respectively, all in the outpatient setting. Ninety‐one percent were completed in <150 min (mean 120 ± 28 min) with 3,783 ± 314 ml of plasma removed. Mean access flow rates were approximately 70 ± 11 ml/min. Plasma flow rates were approximately 38 ± 6 ml/min. (During our original 6‐month prospective trial, access and plasma flow rates were approximately 54 and 32 ml/min, respectively). There were no adverse effects resulting from use of the CathLink® and no hospitalizations were needed for plasma exchange. Pressure alarms were infrequent. Access and plasma flow rates achieved with the CathLink® 20 have increased by about 30 and 16%, respectively, with long‐term use. The conclusion from our prospective trial of this device, that it could conveniently be used for long‐term outpatient plasma exchange, is supported by our follow‐up experience. J. Clin.

In vitro evaluation of COM.TEC apheresis platelet concentrates using a preparation set and pathogen inactivation over a storage period of five days
Authors: Moog R. , Fröhlich A. , Mayaudon V. , Lin L. 
Published: December 2004

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to evaluate in vitro data on platelets collected by apheresis, processed on a preparation set followed by photochemical treatment (PCT). Fifteen single‐donor platelet concentrates (PCs) were collected by apheresis (COM.TEC blood cell separator, Fresenius, Bad Homburg, Germany). The platelets were transferred to the preparation set and plasma was removed after centrifugation to resuspend the platelets in approximately 37% plasma and 63% platelet additive solution InterSol. PCT was done by exposing the platelets to amotosalen HCl followed by illumination with ultraviolet light. Blood cell counts and in vitro PLT function were measured up to 5 days. An average of 3.44 ± 0.28 × 1011platelets were collected in a product volume of 351 ± 21 mL. Plasma removal resulted in a mean platelet loss of 7.8%. After PCT, a progressive decrease in platelet function was observed. LDH level rose through storage (171 ± 81 U/L) to levels approximating LDH levels observed post‐collection (180 ± 103 U/L). There was a gradual decrease of the platelets to respond to hypotonic shock response from 90 ± 9 % post‐plasma reduction to 48 ± 16% at day 5. All PLT units met the European requirements for leukoreduction and the pH limit of 6.8 up to day 5 post‐collection. The new preparation set was capable of producing platelet units meeting the requirements for PCT. Despite differences observed in in vitro platelet function parameters, PLTs at storage day 5 fit the German and European guidelines. J. Clin. Apheresis 19:185–191, 2004. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
