description: Chemical composition determination and in vitro antibacterial effect of Essential Oil (EO) of Laurus nobilis leaves grown North West Algerian conditions were investigated. Antibacterial activity was evaluated by the technique of the paper disc diffusion. Extractions were carried out with Clevenger apparatus and EO compositions were investigated by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The oxygenated monoterpenes (MO) were the class with the highest contents, represent 59% of the EO. A total of twenty-seven of these compounds were identified, the major components were 1,8-cineole (30.1%), α-terpynil acetate (21.6%), methyl eugenol (16.9%) of the total oil. The highest antibacterial power of the EO tested was recorded in Streptococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus with the zone diameter of inhibition 13.6 and 11.2 mm respectively and a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.25 mg/mL for both these two strains.

description: Chloride induced reinforcement corrosion is one of the major problems in premature deterioration of several concrete structures such as bridge decks, concrete  pavements and substructures in chloride laden environments. In this research, different ternary, binary and control cementitious concrete mixtures are studied for chloride induced corrosion initiation prediction of concrete structures. Diffusion coefficients are one of the primary variables that initiate chloride induced corrosion. The primary objective of the research is focused on investigation of chloride permeability of different cementitious materials and computation of reliable diffusion coefficients from the Chloride Ion Penetration Test (CIPT) and Wenner probe resistivity data using fundamentals of elctrochemistry. Several theoretical equations and methods are applied to compute improved diffusion coefficients of different ternary, binary based High Performance Cementitious (HPC) system. Correlation between the results of CIPT and the Wenner probe also measures their durability acceptance criterion for investigation of long term chlride penetration. This research also investigated electrical conductivity of different cementitius mixtures from the CIPT data and its effect on ternary cementitious systems. The other objective of this research is focused on the formulation of probabilistic corrosion initiation model with inclusion of apparent variation of previously computed HPC diffusion coefficients and the variation of surface chloride concentration with several corrosion resistant steel reinforcements. The distribution of the other governing parameters is generated from either detailed field survey or laboratory experimental investigation. This study shows the variability and sensitivity of estimation of the time to onset of corrosion using the Monte Carlo technique and Simulation Based Reliability Approach (SBRA). Results from this probabilistic analysis estimate the corrosion free service life for the design of concrete structures in harsh chloride environments with respect to methods for diffusion coefficients computation.

description: Nowadays, new leishmanicidal drugs are needed and natural products arise as a promising alternative source. Therefore, bioguided fractionation of a hydroethanolic extract from the stem bark of Croton echioides Baill. were conducted based on its antileishmanial activity. Two novel neo-clerodane diterpenoids methyl-15,16-epoxy-3,13(16),14-neo-clerodatrien-17,18-dicarboxylate (1) and dimethyl-3-oxo-15,16-epoxy-13(16),14-neo-clerodadien-17,18-dicarboxylate (2) were isolated, as well as four known compounds (3–6) and lupeol, from the hexane fraction. Their structures were established by NMR analysis. The crude extract, fractions and the compounds (1 and 3–6) were evaluated for their in vitro antileishmanial activity and cytotoxicity against macrophages J774A.1. The selectivity index (SI) were calculated. The most active compound against promastigote forms of L. amazonensis was the clerodane diterpene 4, with IC50 values of 8.3 µM and SI value of 80.9. Our results highlighted stem bark of Croton echioides Baill. as a promising source for the development of a new chemotherapeutic agent to combat leishmaniasis.

description: A new phenolic glycoside, chinenside A (1), and a new megastigmane glycoside, chinenionside A (2), together with twelve known compounds (3-14), were isolated from the roots of Alangium chinense. Their structures were deduced on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses and comparison with data reported in the literature. The anti-inflammatory activity in vitro of all 13 phenolic glycosides was evaluated against lipopolysaccharide-induced mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells. The compounds 1, 9, and 10 potentially inhibited the productions of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin (PEG2), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) and interleukin 6 (IL-6). Compound 1 (50 μM) showed stronger anti-inflammatory activity than Triptolide (TPL, 20 nm).
Cytokine signaling in endothelial cells

description: Endothelial cells mediate the inflammatory response by coordinating localization and activation of leukocytes via a concerted expression of adhesion molecules and cytokines. Adhesion molecule and cytokine gene expression occurs following activation of specific signaling pathways by endothelial cell agonists. The MAP kinase signaling pathways consist of a cascade of kinases that phosphorylate transcription factors to activate specific genes. The major MAP kinase pathways are the 'ERK' or 'growth' pathway and the 'stress' pathway. NF-?B, another mediator of endothelial gene expression, is normally sequestered by the I?B in the cytoplasm. However, certain stimuli cause degradation of I?B that results in NF-?B nuclear translocation. In the nucleus NF-?B activates transcription from NF-?B dependent promoters of adhesion molecule and cytokine genes. The major aim of this study was to describe signaling mechanisms involved in the induction of adhesion molecules and cytokines by the use of receptor and nonreceptor endothelial cell agonists. The nonreceptor agonists brown recluse spider venom and bacterial sphingomyelinase induced a pattern of gene expression distinct from tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Since TNF activation of NF-?B and MAP kinase was theorized to be downstream of sphingomyelin breakdown due to a TNF receptor associated sphingomyelinase, the results with nonreceptor sphingomyelin breakdown were intriguing. On elucidation of signaling pathways, TNF sends at least two signals. Sphingomyelin breakdown to ceramide activates the ERK MAP kinase pathway, and ceramide-independent activation of stress MAP kinases and NF-?B nuclear translocation. Another novel receptor agonist oncostatin M (OSM) was found to induce a pattern of gene expression distinct from both TNF and bacterial sphingomyelinase. At low concentrations, OSM caused potent ERK activation, but at higher concentrations it caused NF?B nuclear translocation in addition to ERK activation. This unmasked NF-?B-dependent and -independent mechanisms of endothelial cell adhesion molecule and cytokine expression. Furthermore, the above agonists did not induce the same characteristic responses in gene induction and signaling in transformed endothelial cells, showing that alteration in signaling pathways associated with cell transformation alters gene expression. In conclusion, integration of different signals at the promoters of adhesion molecule and cytokine genes mediates a coordinated inflammatory response by endothelial cells.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if a preventive health education program about sex abuse would have a positive impact upon the attitudes and knowledge of hospitalized, emotionally-disturbed children in areas of sex abuse as indicated by attitudinal and knowledge surveys on pre- and posttests. Another purpose was to determine if the biographical questionnaire would indicate a higher incidence of sex abuse than documented in the history of hospitalized emotionally-disturbed children. Using paired t -tests, the pre- and posttests reflected that the 'You're In Charge' program did have a positive impact upon the knowledge base of hospitalized, emotionally-disturbed children about sex abuse, and that there was no significant impact on the attitudes of hospitalized, emotionally-disturbed children by measures of Pearson's correlation coefficient. The biographical questionnaire did not indicate a higher incidence of sex abuse as compared with documented sex abuse in the patient's history.

description: Coir pith, an agro-industrial residue, is resistant to natural degradation, and its accumulation causes environmental pollution. Ferulic acid, a precursor of vanillin, was extracted from the raw coir pith by chemical pre-treatment such as alkaline hydrolysis, acidification, and liquid–liquid extraction method. The obtained ferulic acid (1.2 g/50 g) was analysed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and used as a substrate for biotransformation by Aspergillus niger to vanillic acid, which, in turn, was fermented by using Phanerochaete chrysosporium to vanillin. The quantity of vanillic acid detected by HPLC on the third day of incubation was 0.773 g/L, while the optimal yield of vanillin on the subsequent third day of incubation was 0.628 g/L. Thus, the chemical extraction of ferulic acid from coir pith ensued bioconversion into vanillin. These products are highly valuable and economical to be used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, health, cosmetics, and neutraceuticals.

description: The Currant Creek Formation of Late Cretaceous to Early Eocene age is located on the northwestern flank of the Uinta Basin and on the southwestern flank of the Uinta Mountains. The Currant Creek unconformably overlies the Mesaverde Formation of Late Cretaceous age and unconformably underlies the Uinta (?) Formation of Early Eocene age. The age and correlation of the Currant Creek is based on previous work by Walton (1944 and 1964), Abott (1957), and Murany (1963 and 1964); field evidence, and subsurface information. Field evidence for correlation consists of unconformities, basal conglomerates, stratigraphic position, lithologic similarities to correlative formations, and conglomerate beds containing Upper Cretaceous fossils. Sub¬ surface information consists of electric and lithologic log correlations by the writer, and structural contour mapping. The Currant Creek Formation is tentatively correlated with the Bennion Creek, North Horn, Flagstaff, and Colton Formations of the Wasatch Plateau; the Wasatch Formation of the Uinta Basin; and the Knight and Echo Canyon Formations of the Wasatch Plateau.    The Currant Creek Formation is a series of interbedded conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, and shale. The lower part of the formation is predominantly sandstone and conglomerate and the upper part is mainly sandstone, siltstone, and shale. Individual rock units are composed of lithic (petromict) boulder, cobble, pebble, and granule conglomerates, orthoquartzite to subgraywacke sandstones, siltstones, and sandy-silty-calcareous shales.    The formation ranges from about 4,800 feet thick in the Currant Creek area to about 4,000 feet thick in the Red Creek area, and in the Duchesne River-Little Valley areas it thins to 1,500 feet thick. The formation pinches out eastward from Little Valley.    Three erosional pediment surfaces are developed in the area and are correlated, from oldest to youngest, with decreasing elevation, to the Lake Mountain, Jensen, and Vernal or Thornburg surfaces described in the Vernal, Utah area by Kinney (1955).    The term Uinta Basin Fault is proposed for a subsurface fault that trends northeast-southwest and roughly follows the trace of the Uinta Basin axis. The fault is believed to be a thrust fault.    Bituminous sandstone deposits are present in the Duchesne River-Little Valley area in the Uinta (?) and Currant Creek Formations and offer some potential for future economic development.

description: Der kollegialen Zusammenarbeit mit den verschiedenen Personen und Funktionseinheiten im Krankenhaus kommt eine hohe Bedeutung zu. Die gelingende pflegerische Entlassung in die häusliche Versorgung ohne Versorgungsbrüche bedarf der engen und abgestimmten Zusammenarbeit der verschiedenen Professionen in den komplexen Entlassungsprozessen. Im folgenden Modul werden die Erfahrungen der Pflegetrainer*innen zur kollegialen Zusammenarbeit mit den Stationen und weiteren Funktionsbereichen der Entlassungsprozesse zusammengetragen und dargestellt. Ziel ist es, Strategien, Wege und Erfahrungen transparent zu machen, wie gezielt ein kollegiales Netzwerk im Krankenhaus aufgebaut werden kann, um die Meldung von pflegenden Angehörigen an die Pflegetrainer*innen auch ohne ihre Präsenz auf den Stationen sicherzustellen, die Transparenz und Akzeptanz der Arbeit mit den pflegenden Angehörigen bis in die Häuslichkeit in allen Bereichen des Krankenhauses zu erhöhen und die systematische Integration der Familialen Pflege in die Abläufe und Strukturen des Krankenhauses voranzubringen.

description: Although the cladodes of Nopalea cochenillifera are used in Mexican traditional medicine to treat diabetes and various other diseases, its antihyperglycaemic properties, phenolic content, and antioxidant activity are not well documented. Thus, we determined the activity of a single dose of fresh, blended cladodes on postprandial glycaemia in rats after a starch load. We prepared a methanolic extract of N. cochenillifera cladodes and measured its phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The antihyperglycaemic effect of blended cladodes was similar to that of acarbose when considering the changes in glucose levels from baseline. Furthermore, the methanolic extract contained a considerable amount of phenolic compounds and exhibited antioxidant activity in the DPPH assay, but did not markedly inhibit α-glucosidase and had a low antioxidant effect in the ABTS test.

Surgery - Psychological aspects

description: A major goal in Nursing; is to identify situations that are potentially stressful to patients, and to provide care that enables patients to prevent, relieve, mitigate or at least tolerate stress. It is generally agreed that surgery constitutes a potent source of stress for most people. A number of investigations have attempted to determine if special preoperative preparation and care improve patients' postoperative recovery. However, little research has attempted to determine the extent of relationship, if any, between preoperative fear and anxiety and postoperative recovery.  The present study attempted to see if the most distressed patients could be identified by using selected instruments for measuring fear and anxiety and to test the assumption that the more distressed the patient is preoperatively, the more adverse will be his postoperative recovery in terms of somatic and psychological complications.  Twenty-seven female patients scheduled for abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy were administered the following preoperative and postoperative measures:  (a) the IPAT Anxiety Scale;  (b) the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List (MAACL);  (c) Palmer's Patients' Perceptions Toward Surgery Scale (PPS). Criteria for recovery were the number of pain reducing and sedative medications counted over five postoperative days, and comparison of pre- and postoperative scores on the MAACL.  The mean IPAT anxiety score was higher than the means reported in the manual. There was no significant change in the mean MAACL anxiety, hostility, and depression scores pre- and postoperatively.  Pearson product moment correlations were computed between the measures of preoperative distress and postoperative recovery. There were no significant correlations found between these measures. This failed to support the assumption that high preoperative distress would be associated with poor postoperative recovery in terms of increased number of pain relieving and sleep inducing medications. Further research is necessary to ascertain the extent of relationship between degree of preoperative distress and postoperative recovery.  The correlations between Palmer's Patients' Perception Scale and the IPAT Anxiety Scale and the MAACL were not significant. Therefore, patients' attitudes toward surgery (PPS) were not related to the preoperative level of psychological distress.  The results of this study indicate that further development and refinement of pre- and postoperative measures is necessary.  It would be worthwhile for future research to attempt to develop a rating scale to measure non-verbal behavior and correlate this with patients' performance on the paper-and-pencil tests. To add strength to the use of pain reducing medications as a recovery measure a comparison should be made of nurses' and patients' assessment of pain and the need for medication.

description: Portable electronic devices will be limited to available energy of existing battery chemistries for the foreseeable future. However, system-on-chips (SoCs) used in these devices are under a demand to offer more functionality and increased battery life. A difficult problem in SoC design is providing energy-efficient communication between its components while maintaining the required performance. This dissertation introduces a novel energy-efficient network-on-chip (NoC) communication architecture. A NoC is used within complex SoCs due it its superior performance, energy usage, modularity, and scalability over traditional bus and point-to-point methods of connecting SoC components.  This is the first academic research that combines asynchronous NoC circuits, a focus on energy-efficient design, and a software framework to customize a NoC for  a particular SoC. Its key contribution is demonstrating that a simple, asynchronous NoC concept is a good match for low-power devices, and is a fruitful area for additional investigation. The proposed NoC is energy-efficient in several ways: simple switch and arbitration logic, low port radix, latch-based router buffering, a topology with the minimum number of 3-port routers, and the asynchronous advantages of zero dynamic  power consumption while idle and the lack of a clock tree. The tool framework developed for this work uses novel methods to optimize the topology and router  oorplan based on simulated annealing and force-directed movement. It studies link pipelining techniques that yield improved throughput in an energy-efficient manner.  A simulator is automatically generated for each customized NoC, and its traffic generators use a self-similar message distribution, as opposed to Poisson, to better match application behavior. Compared to a conventional synchronous NoC, this design is superior by achieving comparable message latency with half the energy.
Cardiovascular alterations with lateral position changes in the immediate post-operative period in patients with aortic valve replacement

Aortic valve - Surgery

description: This pilot descriptive study investigated the effects of a nursing procedure on selected cardiovascular hemodynamic variables.  The nursing procedure consisted of turning and positioning the patients from a (1) supine to right lateral, (2) right lateral to supine, and (3) supine to left lateral position.  Stroke volume, cardiac output, heart rate, peripheral resistance, systolic pressure and diastolic pressure were recorded during and at selected intervals after the nursing procedure.  The computer-monitoring system measured these variables by obtaining measurements through a stiff Teflon catheter inserted into the aortic arch.  The validity of this method has been previously established.   Six consecutive adult patients with an aortic valve prosthesis were utilized from the patients brought to the Thoracic and cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit at the Latter-day Saints Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Systolic and diastolic pressure demonstrated the widest changes and also the most frequent changes.  Heart rate did not appear to directly influence cardiac output except in one patient.  Decreases in arterial pressure appeared to be due to inadequate compensation in peripheral vascular resistance.  Positioning the patient within 12 hours after surgery in the right lateral position appeared to affect the cardiovascular hemodynamic variables more than did positioning in the supine or left lateral position.  The smallest clinically significant changes occurred when the patients were positioned in supine position which might suggest that if a patient were experiencing physiological instability, this would be the position of choice.  The alterations of greatest  significance in the cardiovascular hemodynamic variables occurred during the turning procedure.  This would suggest the close observations of the patient for signs of impending shock such as changes in respiration, faintness and alterations in skin color and moisture, should be made during the turning and positioning procedure and not at a later time. Return of the variables toward the initial base line readings was almost instantaneous although complete restoration to the original readings varied with each patient.  Limitations inherent in this study were the clinical setting, small sample, technical difficulties with the computer, and possible psychological effects of anxiety and fear.  Even though the results are based a small sample, they are based on valid observations.  If replication of this study supports the conclusion presented her, that systolic and diastolic pressure are altered significantly when positioned in the right lateral position, the nursing profession would be well advised to examine its policies regarding lateral positioning in the immediate post-operative period in patients with aortic valve replacements.

description: The construct of self concept has often been the focus of treatment and research in the mental health field.  Both the development of and function of self concept in human behavior are important to nursing and other social theorists who are interested in understanding and changing human behavior.  The self concept is said to develop from the perceived appraisals of interaction with significant other.  Thus interpersonal experiences are the basis for perceptions of the "self" and are integral to the formation of the human personality.  The family unit affords the initial opportunities for interpersonal experiences with parents playing an important role in their child's developing self concept.  The purpose of the present study was to evaluate change in emotionally disturbed children's self concept and their parent's prediction of their children's self concept, due to interpersonal growth experiences offered to them through a therapeutic day camp.  The Piers-Harris Children's Self Concept Scale was administered to 43 parents and 44 children before the camp program and 40 parents and 41 children after the program.  The scores of the 40 children and their 40 paired parents who completed the pre and post rating were subjected to complete within subjects analysis of variance.  The results of the analysis showed that the effect for role and for pre and post means of treatment and for role by Treatment Interaction were all highly significant.  The variance between parent and child role showed that parents viewed their children's self concept lower than the children did (F=14.97; 1, 39; p
