description: Background: Researchers performing systematic reviews (SRs) must carefully consider the relevance of thousands of citations retrieved from bibliographic database searches, the majority of which will be excluded later on close inspection. Well-developed bibliographic searches are generally created with thesaurus or index terms in combination with keywords found in the title and/or abstract fields of citation records. Records in the bibliographic database Embase contain many more thesaurus terms than MEDLINE. Here, we aim to examine how limiting searches to major thesaurus terms (in MEDLINE called focus terms) in Embase and MEDLINE as well as limiting to words in the title and abstract fields of those databases affects the overall recall of SR searches. Methods: To examine the impact of using search techniques aimed at higher precision, we analyzed previously completed SRs and focused our original searches to major thesaurus terms or terms in title and/or abstract only in Embase.com or in Embase.com and MEDLINE (Ovid) combined. We examined the total number of search results in both Embase and MEDLINE and checked whether included references were retrieved by these more focused approaches. Results: For 73 SRs, we limited Embase searches to major terms only while keeping the search in MEDLINE and other databases such as Web of Science as they were. The overall search yield (or total number of search results) was reduced by 8%. Six reviews (9%) lost more than 5% of the relevant references. Limiting Embase and MEDLINE to major thesaurus terms, the number of references was 13% lower. For 15% of the reviews, the loss of relevant references was more than 5%. Searching Embase for title and abstract caused a loss of more than 5% in 16 reviews (22%), while limiting Embase and MEDLINE that way this happened in 24 reviews (33%). Conclusions: Of the four search options, two options substantially reduced the overall search yield. However, this also resulted in a greater chance of losing relevant references, even though many references were still found in other databases such as Web of Science.

Expression and regulation of Breast Cancer Resistance Protein in the human placenta and fetal membranes
Creators: name: Yeboah, Dorothy
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: Breast Cancer Resistance Protein, BCRP, is highly expressed in many different tumor tissues conferring multi-drug resistance against many chemotherapy drugs. BCRP has also been reported to be present in normal tissues including the human placenta during pregnancy. It is believed that in the placenta, BCRP controls the levels of toxins, drugs and xenobiotics that may cross maternal circulation into fetal circulation. The expression of BCRP was examined in the human placenta and in placental membranes (amnion and chorion leave) and attached decidua. In addition, the effect of cytokines and hypoxia on BCRP expression in placental cells was examined in vitro. BCRP was found to be highly expressed in the placenta throughout pregnancy as well as in the amnion, chorion laeve and attached decidua. Our data suggest that increased cytokine expression and reduced oxygen levels may not have any effect on BCRP mRNA or protein levels in the placental syncytiotrophoblast cells. This may suggest that BCRP is stably expressed in the placenta, even under adverse conditions, and may imply that activity of this transporter protein is essential for normal placental function.

description: The fight against infection in an era of emerging antibiotic resistant bacteria is one of the grandest scientific challenges facing society today. Nano-carriers show great promise in improving the antibacterial activity of antibiotics as they are able to enhance their solubility, provide sustained release and reduce toxic side effects via specifically targeting infection sites. Here, we investigate the antibacterial effect of two lipidic nano-carriers that contain the poorly soluble antibiotic rifampicin in their bilayers. One nanoparticle is assembled solely from the lipid monoolein, thus is neutral at physiological pH and the other contains a mixture of monoolein and the cationic lipid N-[1-(2,3-Dioleoyloxy)propyl]-N,N,N-trimethylammonium methyl-sulfate (DOTAP), thus is positively charged. Our results show that rifampicin-loaded nanoparticles reduce the minimum inhibitory concentration against Staphylococcus aureus compared to rifampicin alone, however this reduction was most pronounced for the positively charged nanoparticles. Fluorescent microscopy revealed binding of all nanoparticles to the bacteria and enhanced binding was observed for the charged nanoparticles. This suggests that the cationic lipids promote electrostatic interactions with the negatively charged bacterial membrane. Förster resonance energy transfer demonstrated that the cationic charged nanoparticles were able to fuse with bacterial membranes whilst atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy revealed structural damage to the bacterial membranes caused by the nanoparticles. Significantly, we identified a concentration window in which the nanoparticles exhibited antibacterial activity while not affecting HeLa and CHO cell viability. This ability to improve the efficacy of antibiotics without affecting their eukaryotic cytotoxicity is of significant importance for future development of nanomedicine based strategies to combat infections.

description: Cette thèse vise à vérifier si l'apprentissage de la musique influe sur l'acquisition de la langue française (lecture et orthographe) chez des enfants francophones dyslexiques de 3ieme et eieme année primaire. Les participants de cette étude ont été soumis à cinq évaluations: trois en français et deux sur les aptitudes musicales. Cette étude a permis d'observer non seulement que l'apprentissage de la musique n'améliorait pas l'apprentissage de l'orthographe d'usage pour les éléments "copier des mots déjà écrits" et "écrire un mot après l'avoir lu", mais occasionnait une détérioration de deux autres éléments de l'orthographie usuel "écrire un mot cité par l'examinatrice" et "écrire le mot le plus approprié pour identifier une image visualisée". Par contre, on observe une amélioration de la compréhension de la lecture.

description: Background: Despite the popularity of MDMA (ecstasy) among young people across North America and Europe, MDMA is rarely explored in studies of young people at high-risk of injecting drugs. We conducted a study among street-involved youth who use illicit drugs in Vancouver, Canada to understand if use of MDMA is associated with initiation of injection drugs. Methods: We followed injection-na ve participants in the At-Risk Youth Study (ARYS), an ongoing prospective cohort of street-involved youth who use illicit drugs aged 14-26. Bivariate and multivariate extended Cox models with time-updated variables were used to examine the association between MDMA use and initiation of injection drug use between September 2005 to May 2015. Results: Among 483 youth, 306 (63.4%) had a history of MDMA use and 218 (45.1%) had used MDMA in the previous six months at baseline. A total of 105 (21.7%) youth initiated injection drug use over the 10-year period, yielding an incidence density of 8.51 (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 6.96 – 10.30) per 100 person-years. MDMA use was not significantly associated with initiating injection drugs at the bivariate- (Hazard Ratio: 0.93; 95% CI: 0.61 – 1.42) or multivariate- (Adjusted Hazard Ratio: 0.88; 95% CI: 0.57-1.35) level after adjusting for unemployment, homelessness, and crystal methamphetamine use. Conclusions: Amid ongoing frequent use of MDMA among some young people in North America, we did not observe an elevated risk of injection initiation among those who used MDMA in this cohort of street-involved youth.

Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: This thesis is concerned with the preparation of five membered ring compounds. Some 1,2,3-trisubstituted cyclopenetanes were prepared in order to get information related to conformational analysis in the reactions of centres in five membered ring compounds. 3-Acetoxycyclopentene and 3-methoxycyclopentene were used as starting materials for the preparation of these compounds. Treatment of 3-acetoxyxyclopentene and 3-methoxycyclopentene with perbenzoic acid gave the corresponding trans-oxides. The structure of these oxides were determined by chemical means. 1,2,3-Cyclopentanetriols obtained by way of wet and dry Prevost reactions of 3-acetoxycyclopentene and from the hydrolysis of trans-oxide of 3-acetoxycyclopentene were separated by partition chromatography using Celite to hold the static aqueous phase and n-butanol equilibrated with five percent boric acid solution as solvent system. Structures of 1alpha,2alpha,3beta and 1alpha,2beta,3alpha cyclopentanetriols were proved by chemical means and some solid derivatives of these compounds were prepared. The proton resonance spectra of 1alpha,3alpha-dimethoxy-2beta-acetoxycyclopentane and 1alpha-p-nitrobenzoate-2beta-bromo-3alpha-acetoxycyclopentane were taken. The reactions of above mentioned substances and other related five membered ring compounds are reported in the theses.

description: We report on SALT low-resolution optical spectroscopy and optical/IR photometry undertaken with other SAAO telescopes (MASTER-SAAO and IRSF) of the kilonova AT 2017gfo (a.k.a. SSS17a) in the galaxy NGC4993 during the first 10 d of discovery. This event has been identified as the first ever electromagnetic counterpart of a gravitational wave event, namely GW170817, which was detected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave observatories. The event is likely due to a merger of two neutron stars, resulting in a kilonova explosion. SALT was the third observatory to obtain spectroscopy of AT 2017gfo and the first spectrum, 1.2 d after the merger, is quite blue and shows some broad features, but no identifiable spectral lines and becomes redder by the second night. We compare the spectral and photometric evolution with recent kilonova simulations and conclude that they are in qualitative agreement for postmerger wind models with proton:nucleon ratios of Ye = 0.25-0.30. The blue colour of the first spectrum is consistent with the lower opacity of the lanthanide-free r-process elements in the ejecta. Differences between the models and observations are likely due to the choice of system parameters combined with the absence of atomic data for more elements in the ejecta models.

description: Background: Hereditary angioedema due to C1 inhibitor deficiency (C1-INH-HAE) is an autosomal dominant disease resulting in random and unpredictable attacks of swelling. The swelling in C1-INH-HAE is a result of impaired regulation of bradykinin production. The fact that the array of tests needed to diagnose HAE is not always available to the treating physicians is challenging for them and their patients. Methods: The data for this article were extracted from two distinct surveys. The first survey was conducted among HAE treating physicians and aimed to determine the availability and utilization of the various assays performed to help the diagnosis of C1-INH-HAE. The second survey was conducted with the various laboratories across Canada that performs the assays used in the diagnosis of HAE. The aim of this survey was to determine the availability and profile of the various assays used in the diagnosis of C1-INH-HAE in Canada, thereby ultimately bringing a rational basis for the biological testing. Results: C1-INH functional assay was widely available in Canada (93%), but was only offered by a small numbers of hospitals meaning that there could be longer delays in the analysis of these samples that may explain why the physicians expressed a lower level of confidence in this assay (59%). Antigenic C1-INH was available to the vast majority of the physicians treating C1-INH-HAE (93%) and was considered reliable by 96% of the respondents. Antigenic C4 was found available to all Canadian physicians and, although with limited specificity, was considered very reliable by all the participants. This study revealed that 81% of physicians were able to order the antigenic C1q and the confidence in this assay was moderate (70%). Concerning genetic testing, the survey revealed that most of the CHAEN members never had to or couldn’t order this test. Conclusion: This study highlights the need for improved education and knowledge exchange, about biological assays available to Canadian physicians and their performance in proper diagnosis of C1-INH-HAE to improve confidence and access to relevant tests.
Intercomparison of 15 aerodynamic particle size spectrometers (APS 3321): uncertainties in particle sizing and number size distribution
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2016

description: Aerodynamic particle size spectrometers are a well-established method to measure number size distributions of coarse mode particles in the atmosphere. Quality assurance is essential for atmospheric observational aerosol networks to obtain comparable results with known uncertainties. In a laboratory study within the framework of ACTRIS (Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research Infrastructure Network), 15 aerodynamic particle size spectrometers (APS model 3321, TSI Inc., St. Paul, MN, USA) were compared with a focus on flow rates, particle sizing, and the unit-to-unit variability of the particle number size distribution. Flow rate deviations were relatively small (within a few percent), while the sizing accuracy was found to be within 10?% compared to polystyrene latex (PSL) reference particles. The unit-to-unit variability in terms of the particle number size distribution during this study was within 10?% to 20?% for particles in the range of 0.9 up to 3 Nano-m, which is acceptable for atmospheric measurements. For particles smaller than that, the variability increased up to 60?%, probably caused by differences in the counting efficiencies of individual units. Number size distribution data for particles smaller than 0.9?Ţm in aerodynamic diameter should only be used with caution. For particles larger than 3?Ţm, the unit-to-unit variability increased as well. A possible reason is an insufficient sizing accuracy in combination with a steeply sloping particle number size distribution and the increasing uncertainty due to decreasing counting. Particularly this uncertainty of the particle number size distribution must be considered if higher moments of the size distribution such as the particle volume or mass are calculated, which require the conversion of the aerodynamic diameter measured to a volume equivalent diameter. In order to perform a quantitative quality assurance, a traceable reference method for the particle number concentration in the size range 0.5-3 Nano-m is needed.

description: Purpose Using the data delivered by the German Trauma Register DGU® from 2002 till 2013, the value of different therapies of blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) in Germany was analyzed. Methods Prospectively collected data of patients suffering from BTAI were retrospectively analyzed with focus on the different treatment modalities for grade I–IV injuries. Results 821 patients suffering from BTAI were identified: 51.6% (424) grade I injury, 35.4% (291) grade II or III injury and 12.9% (106) grade IV injury (77.5% men [44.94 ± 20.6 years]). The main patterns of injury were high- speed accidents and falls (78.0% [n = 640], 21.8% [n = 171] respectively). Significant differences between grade I and grade II/III as well as IV injuries could be assessed for the incidence of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a Glasgow Coma Scale score below 8 and a systolic blood pressure below 90 mmHg (p-value: <0.001). In the primary admission subgroup, 44.1% (197/447) of the patients received best medical treatment, 55.9% received surgical intervention (250/447): Thereof 37.2% (93/250) received open surgery and 62.8% (147/250) had been treated by endovascular means. Significantly lower 24-h- and in-hospital-mortality rates were encountered after endovascular treatment for all gradings of BTAI (p-value: <0.001). Yet this subgroup of patients showed the lowest incidence of further severe injuries and cardiac arrest. Conclusion Endovascular therapy became the treatment of choice for BTAI in Germany. Patients who have been treated by surgical means showed the highest survival rate, especially endovascular therapy showed a favorable low mortality rate.

While software product lines address this need by advocating the development of an integrated software platform, practitioners frequently rely on ad-hoc reuse based on a principle which is known as clone-and-own. This practice avoids high up-front investments, as new variants of a software family are created by simply copying and adapting an existing variant, but maintenance costs explode once a critical number of variants is reached. With our research project VariantSync, we aim to bridge the gap between clone-and-own and product lines by combining the minimal overhead and flexibility of clone-and-own with the systematic handling of variability in software product lines. The key idea is to transparently integrate product-line concepts with variant management facilities known from version control systems in order to automatically synchronize a set of evolving variants. We believe that VariantSync has the potential to change the way how practitioners develop multi-variant software systems for which it is hard to foresee which variants will be added in the future.

description: A novel continuous time fluid flow model of the dynamics of the interaction between ACK-clocking and the link buffer is presented. A fundamental integral equation relating the instantaneous flow rate and the window dynamics is derived. Properties of the model, such as well-posedness and stability, are investigated. Packet level experiments verify that this new model is more accurate than existing models, correctly predicting qualitatively different behaviors, for example when round trip delays are heterogeneous.

description: Extensive evidence clearly endorses the use of standardized reasoning ability tests and subject-specific knowledge tests as valid and useful tools for admission-restricted study programs. Yet, tests are still rarely applied for university admission in Germany. Instead, current admission practices are predominantly based on grade point average (GPA) achieved in high school. In the present study, we report the development and validation of a test battery for admission into bachelor’s degree programs in psychology for German universities. Its compilation is driven by evidence from international validity generalization, consensual models of cognitive abilities, and a taxonomy of the B.Sc. psychology degree in Germany. It consists of three subtests for reasoning ability, two tests that tap relevant declarative knowledge, and two psychology-specific text comprehension tests. N = 371 freshmen from five German universities completed the tests and university GPA was retrieved 2.5 years later. We use confirmatory factor analyses and structural equation modeling to investigate the construct and criterion validity of the test battery. The results indicate that individual tests, as well as the test battery, meet psychometric requirements. As expected, the test battery predicts university GPA substantially and incrementally beyond high school GPA. The results illustrate the substantial added value that standardized achievement tests provide in university admissions.

description: (1) Background: The study aimed to investigate the role of subclinical inflammation on the association between diurnal cortisol patterns and glycaemia in an aged population. (2) Methods: Salivary cortisol, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) were analysed in a sample of 394 men and 364 women (mean age = 5 ± 6.3, 65–90 years). The ratio of morning after awakening and late-night cortisol was calculated as an indication of diurnal cortisol slope (DCS). Multivariable regression models were run to examine whether IL-6 mediates the relationship between the DCS and glycaemia. The Sobel test and bootstrapping methods were used to quantify the mediation analyses. (3) Results: In comparison to normoglycaemic counterparts (n = 676, 89.2%), an increase in IL-6 concentrations, in individuals with hyperglycaemia (HbA1c ≥ 6.5%) (n = 82, 10.8%) (p = 0.04), was significantly associated with a flatter DCS. The link between flatter DCS and elevated HbA1c level was significant mediated by a heightened IL-6 level. Our results do not suggest reverse-directionality, whereby cortisol did not mediate the association of IL-6 with HbA1c. (4) Conclusions: In our sample, the relation between flatter DCS and hyperglycaemia was partly explained by IL-6 levels. The paradigm of subclinical inflammation-mediated cortisol response on glucose metabolism could have widespread implications for improving our understanding of the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Zinkoxid

description: Background: Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NP) offer beneficial properties for many applications, especially in the food sector. Consequently, as part of the human food chain, they are taken up orally. The toxicological evaluation of orally ingested ZnO NP is still controversial. In addition, their physicochemical properties can change during digestion, which leads to an altered biological behaviour. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the fate of two different sized ZnO NP (< 50 nm and < 100 nm) during in vitro digestion and their effects on model systems of the intestinal barrier. Differentiated Caco-2 cells were used in mono- and coculture with mucus-producing HT29-MTX cells. The cellular uptake, the impact on the monolayer barrier integrity and cytotoxic effects were investigated after 24 h exposure to 123-614 mikroM ZnO NP. Results: In vitro digested ZnO NP went through a morphological and chemical transformation with about 70% free zinc ions after the intestinal phase. The cellular zinc content increased dose-dependently up to threefold in the monoculture and fourfold in the coculture after treatment with digested ZnO NP. This led to reactive oxygen species but showed no impact on cellular organelles, the metabolic activity, and the mitochondrial membrane potential. Only very small amounts of zinc (< 0.7%) reached the basolateral area, which is due to the unmodified transepithelial electrical resistance, permeability, and cytoskeletal morphology. Conclusions: Our results reveal that digested and, therefore, modified ZnO NP interact with cells of an intact intestinal barrier. But this is not associated with serious cell damage. Quelle: Artikel

description: We study the effects of galaxy environment on the evolution of the stellar mass function (SMF) over 0.2 < z < 2.0 using the FourStar Galaxy Evolution (ZFOURGE) Survey and NEWFIRM Medium-Band Survey (NMBS) down to the stellar mass completeness limit, logM(*)/M-circle dot > 9.0 (9.5) at z = 1.0 (2.0). We compare the SMFs for quiescent and star-forming galaxies in the highest and lowest environments using a density estimator based on the distance to the galaxies' third-nearest neighbors. For star-forming galaxies, at all redshifts there are only minor differences with environment in the shape of the SMF. For quiescent galaxies, the SMF in the lowest densities shows no evolution with redshift other than an overall increase in number density (phi*) with time. This suggests that the stellar mass dependence of quenching in relatively isolated galaxies both is universal and does not evolve strongly. While at z greater than or similar to 1.5, the SMF of quiescent galaxies is indistinguishable in the highest and lowest densities, at lower redshifts, it shows a rapidly increasing number density of lower-mass galaxies, logM(*)/M-circle dot similar or equal to 9-10, in the highest-density environments. We argue that this evolution can account for all the redshift evolution in the shape of the total quiescent galaxy SMF. This evolution in the quiescent galaxy SMF at higher redshift (z > 1) requires an environmental quenching efficiency that decreases with decreasing stellar mass at 0.5 < z < 1.5 or it would overproduce the number of lower-mass quiescent galaxies in denser environments. This requires a dominant environmental process such as starvation combined with rapid gas depletion and ejection at z > 0.5-1.0 for galaxies in our mass range. The efficiency of this process decreases with redshift, allowing other processes (such as galaxy interactions and ram-pressure stripping) to become more important at later times, z < 0.5.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: The objectives of this thesis are to study the performance of voice over IP in ad-hoc networks, and to study the relationship among routing protocols, coding schemes and the quality of voice. The contribution is an adaptive rate control scheme which uses Mean Opinion Score (MOS) as criteria to improve the performance of the mobile ad hoc network. We first discuss and analyze the characteristics of wireless ad hoc network and Adaptive Multirate-Wideband (AMW) speech coding, and then provide the operation of the adaptive source-network rate control scheme consisting of the voice coding and transmission control, adaptive network rate control, the source rate control, and the frame combination. We implement the scheme in a test-bed and test the performance of speech in different scenarios using Multi-path Source Routing (MSR). Finally, we verify our testbed measurements with OPNET simulation.
