description: Herein, the preparation of print paste formulation containing the PDA (Polydiacetylene) polymer has been investigated for the first time. Screen printing method was employed to apply the prepared print paste on cellulose ENMs, and the Electrospinning method was used to fabricate cellulose acetate ENM followed by its deacetylation to prepare CEL ENMs. Distinct blue colour was developed with 254 nm UV-irradiation of printed CEL ENMs. We achieved good colour strength (K/S = 3.1) on printed ENMs, excellent colourfastness to washing (staining on multifibre: rating 5) and colourfastness to light (blue wool scale: rating 1). We found that the printed CEL ENMs can be effectively used as thermochromic sensor as it induced blue-to-red colour transition at 80 °C. Moreover, it has demonstrated solvatochromic property when incubated in NaOH. Mechanical properties (Tensile strength and wrinkle recovery), chemical structure (ATR-FTIR spectroscopy) as well as surface morphology (SEM analysis) of ENMs were also determined.

description: In estuaries, sponges constitute an integral part of marine benthic communities, but there is still insufficient information about their reproductive cycle in these coastal environments. In this study, the sexual reproduction period of the sponge Haliclona (Reniera) implexiformis and its association with intra-annual fluctuations of water temperature, salinity and precipitation was investigated in a tropical estuary in the southern Gulf of Mexico. Also, some morphological characteristics and behavior of its free-swimming larva were gathered. The results indicated that H. (R.) implexiformis is a viviparous species that presents a single breeding period per year (from April to October). The monthly data of proportion of individuals containing embryos and the density of these reproductive elements were positively correlated with water temperature but not with salinity and precipitation. Larvae were of the parenchymella type and presented a swimming speed and behavior similar to that of other species of subclass Heteroscleromorpha. Results of this study contribute to knowledge about the sexual reproduction of sponges from tropical estuarine environments.

description: Objective The primary aim was to compare directly the effectiveness of percutaneous drainage versus surgical treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts in unselected patients. The authors also wished to identify factors that may predict a successful outcome with percutaneous drainage. Summary Background Data Pancreatic pseudocysts are a common complication of pancreatitis, and recent data suggest that many pseudocysts may be observed or treated successfully by percutaneous drainage. Failures with percutaneous drainage have been recognized increasingly, and a direct comparison of percutaneous and surgical treatment was initiated to identify factors that may affect outcome with these approaches. Methods A computerized index search of the medical records of patients with a diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocyst was performed from 1984 to 1995. One hundred seventy-three patients were identified retrospectively and assigned to treatment groups: observation (n 5 41), percutaneous drainage (n 5 66), or surgical treatment (n 5 66). Data on demographics, clinical presentation, pseudocyst etiology and characteristics, diagnostic evaluation, management, and outcome were obtained. Treatment failure was defined as persistence of a symptomatic pseudocyst or the need for additional intervention other than the original treatment. Results The etiology of pancreatitis, clinical presentation, and diagnostic evaluation did not differ between groups. Twenty-seven percent had documented chronic pancreatitis, and the etiology of pancreatitis was alcohol in 61% of patients. Mean pseudocyst size was 4.2 6 1 cm, 8.2 6 1.1 cm, and 7.4 6 1.3 cm in the observed, percutaneously treated, and surgically treated groups, respectively. Expectant treatment was successful in 93% of patients. Percutaneous drainage was successful in 42% of patients, whereas surgical treatment resulted in a success rate of 88%. Patients treated by percutaneous drainage had a higher mortality rate (16% vs. 0%), a higher incidence of complications (64% vs. 27%), and a longer hospital stay (45 6 5 days vs. 18 6 2 days) than patients treated by surgery. Eighty-seven percent of patients in whom percutaneous drainage failed required surgical salvage therapy. Multiple logistic regression analysis failed to reveal any factors significantly associated with a successful outcome after percutaneous drainage. Conclusions Percutaneous drainage results in higher mortality and morbidity rates and a longer hospital stay than surgical treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts. The clinical benefit of percutaneous drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts in unselected patients has not been realized, and the role of this treatment should be established in a clinical trial.

description: We present the first broadband 0.3-25.0 kev X-ray observations of the bright ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) Holmberg II X-1, performed by NuSTAR, XMM-Newton and Suzaku in September 2013. The NuSTAR data provide the first observations of Holmberg II X-1 above 10 keV, and reveal a very steep high-energy spectrum, similar to other ULXs observed by NuSTAR to date. These observations further demonstrate that ULXs exhibit spectral states that are not typically seen in Galactic black hole binaries. Comparison with other sources implies that Holmberg II X-1 accretes at a high fraction of its Eddington accretion rate, and possibly exceeds it. The soft X-ray spectrum (E<10 keV) appears to be dominated by two blackbody-like emission components, the hotter of which may be associated with an accretion disk. However, all simple disk models under-predict the NuSTAR data above ~10 keV and require an additional emission component at the highest energies probed, implying the NuSTAR data does not fall away with a Wien spectrum. We investigate physical origins for such an additional high-energy emission component, and favor a scenario in which the excess arises from Compton scattering in a hot corona of electrons with some properties similar to the very-high state seen in Galactic binaries. The observed broadband 0.3-25.0 keV luminosity inferred from these epochs is Lx = (8.1+/-0.1)e39 erg/s, typical for Holmberg II X-1, with the majority of the flux (~90%) emitted below 10 keV.

description: In this study we report the extraction and characterization of sericin using water alone, from two non-mulberry silks - Antheraea assamensis (A. assamensis) and Philosamia ricini (P. ricini) compared with Bombyx mori (B. mori) silk. Degumming at 130 °C offered the highest sericin removal for A. assamensis; P. ricini had the lowest sericin removal among the varieties, because of its lower overall sericin content. Along with sericin degumming, fiber tensile properties were also reported. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of sericin revealed minimal sericin degradation even for degumming temperatures above 100 °C. The spectra from Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed random coil motifs for B. mori sericin but a higher proportion of β-sheets in A. assamensis and P. ricini sericin which is likely to contribute to their lower water solubility. Thus, high temperature, water-based processing can be a potential approach for chemical- free degumming of silk fibers and to obtain high molecular weight sericin for different biomaterial applications.

description: In this work we take a formal approach to the problem of decoupling Proca equations in curved space-times. We use Newman-Penrose (NP) two-spinor formalism to represent the Proca vector by one complex and two real scalars. We show that a decoupled second order differential equation for one of the real scalars can be derived if and only if the background space-time admits a covariantly constant null vector. Thus, the background space-time must be a pp-wave vacuum. We evaluate the separability of Proca, Maxwell and Dirac equations on the resulting pp-wave background.

description: Objective To determine whether the rates of death and complications of carotid endarterectomy (CE) were different in the octogenarian population than in patients younger than age 80. Summary Background Data The utility of CE depends on the ability of the surgeon and hospital to attain low rates of death and complications, including all subgroups of the patient population. In the past 30 years, the number of people age 85 and older has increased 274%. Methods Detailed chart review was carried out on all CE procedures done from 1979 through 1998. Descriptive demographic data, risk factors, surgical details, length of stay, deaths, and complications were recorded. Results A total of 2,398 CEs were performed in 1,970 patients; 2,180 procedures were performed in 1,783 patients younger than 80, and 218 CEs were performed in 187 patients age 80 and older. Sixty-five percent of the octogenarians and 67% of patients younger than age 80 had neurologic symptoms. Among asymptomatic patients, 89% had stenosis of 75% or more. There were 62 strokes in the 2,180 procedures in the younger group, for a stroke rate of 2.8%, and 7 strokes in the 218 procedures in the older group, for a stroke rate of 3.2%. The death rates were 0.9% for the octogenarians and 1.4% for the younger group. Conclusions Carotid endarterectomy can be safely performed in a community hospital in patients age 80 and older. Outcomes in octogenarians were not significantly different than those of younger patients and were within the range required for CE to be considered beneficial in the prevention of stroke.

description: This is the first study to report on aberrant otolith morphology and otolith types for Lophius budegassa in the Sea of Marmara. Light and scanning electron microscopes were used to determine aberrant otoliths in the L. budegassa samples. In the current study, detailed morphological information about normal and abnormal otoliths were determined. Type 0, Type 1, Type 3 and Type 4 were identified for left and right normal and aberrant sagittal otoliths of the L. budegassa. Otolith abnormalities were observed in both male and female individuals of different total lengths. These anomalies may have been caused by the stress caused by the changing water parameters connected to different pollutants in the Sea of Marmara. The determination of all aspects of otolith abnormalities is of great importance for both the aquatic habitat and other otolith studies.

description: The parasitological survey of 150 specimens of the painted comber Serranus scriba and 138 specimens of the comber Serranus cabrilla reveals a total of 19 parasite species belonging to six taxonomic groups: five species of myxosporean (Ceratomuxa sp. 1, Ceratomyxa sp. 2, Ceratomyxa sp. 3, Ceratomyxa sp. 4 and Myxidium sp.), six species of nematodes (Hysterothylacium fabri, Hysterothylacium aduncum, Hysterothylacium sp., Anisakis sp., Contracaecum sp., and Philometra serranellicabrillae), three species of digenea (Derogenes sp., Deretrema sp., and Helicometra fasciata), two species of copepods (Lernanthropus scribae and Anchistrotos laqueus), two species of isopods (Nerocila bivittata and Gnathia sp.) and one species of hirudinea (Trachelobdella sp.). Parasite communities of S. scriba and S. cabrilla were richer in endoparasites than in ectoparasites. Species richness and diversity were influenced by the host species and the sampling sites. Study of the relationship between host size and parasite infection showed that the size of the hosts influenced significantly the species richness and the abundance of parasites. The structure and the distribution of the parasite communities of S. scriba and S. cabrilla are presented for the first time in this study.

description: Objective To ascertain the spatial and temporal relation of wound hypoxia to the cell types involved, expression of selected angiogenic cytokines, the proliferative status of cells in the wound site, and angiogenesis. Summary Background Data Hypoxia is considered to drive the angiogenic response by upregulating angiogenic cytokines observed during wound healing. But this correlation has not been shown on a cell-to-cell basis in vivo because of limitations in measuring tissue PO2 at the cellular level. Methods Using punch biopsy wounds in rats as a wound healing model, the distributions of vascular endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor-beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and pimonidazole adducts (as a hypoxia marker) were followed immunohistochemically during the healing process. Results Hypoxia was absent on day 1 after wounding, even though angiogenesis and maximal expression of cytokines were observed in the wounds. Hypoxia peaked in the granulation tissue stage at day 4 and correlated with increased cellularity and cellular proliferation. Hypoxia started to decrease after day 4 and was limited to the remnant blood vessels and epithelial layer in the scar tissue. Conclusions Induction of angiogenic cytokines early during wound healing may be due to triggering mechanisms other than hypoxia. Alternatively, the unique pattern of development and decline of cellular hypoxia as wound cellularity and proliferation regress suggest its involvement in initiating vascular regression during the later stages of healing.

description: Objective To examine the ability of several large, experienced transplantation centers to perform right-sided laparoscopic donor nephrectomy safely with equivalent long-term renal allograft function. Summary Background Data Early reports noted a higher incidence of renal vein thrombosis and eventual graft loss. However, exclusion of right-sided donors would deprive a significant proportion of donors a laparoscopically harvested graft. Methods A retrospective review was performed among 97 patients from seven centers performing right-sided laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. Surgical and postoperative demographic factors were evaluated. Complications were identified and longterm renal allograft function was compared with historical leftsided laparoscopic donor nephrectomy cohorts. Results Right laparoscopic donor nephrectomy was performed for varying reasons, including multiple left renal arteries or veins, smaller right kidney, or cystic right renal mass. Mean surgical time was 235.0 6 66.7 minutes, with a mean blood loss of 139 6 165.8 mL. Conversion was required in three patients secondary to bleeding or anatomical anomalies. Mean warm ischemic time was limited at 238 6 112 seconds. Return to diet was achieved on average after 7.5 6 2.3 hours, with mean discharge at 54.6 6 22.8 hours. Two grafts were lost during the early experience of these centers to renal vein thrombosis. Both surgical and postoperative complications were limited, with few long-term adverse effects. Mean serum creatinine levels were higher than open and left laparoscopic donor nephrectomy on postoperative day 1, but at all remaining intervals the right laparoscopic donors had equivalent creatinine values. Conclusions These results confirm that right laparoscopic donor nephrectomy provides similar patient benefits, including early return to diet and discharge. Long-term creatinine values were no higher than in traditional open donor or left laparoscopic donor cohorts. These results establish that early concerns about high thrombosis rates are not supported by a multiinstitutional review of laparoscopic right donor nephrectomies.

description: Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function. The fast escaping set, $A(f)$, plays a key role in transcendental dynamics. The quite fast escaping set, $Q(f)$, defined by an apparently weaker condition is equal to $A(f)$ under certain conditions. Here we introduce $Q_2(f)$ defined by what appears to be an even weaker condition. Using a new regularity condition we show that functions of finite order and positive lower order satisfy $Q_2(f)=A(f)$. We also show that the finite composition of such functions satisfies $Q_2(f)=A(f)$. Finally, we construct a function for which $Q_2(f) \neq Q(f)= A(f)$.

description: We present a reconstruction of the transverse acoustic phonon dispersion of germanium from femtosecond time-resolved x-ray diffuse scattering measurements at the Linac Coherent Light Source. We demonstrate an energy resolution of 0.3 meV with momentum resolution of 0.01 nm^-1 using 10 keV x-rays with a bandwidth of ~ 1 eV. This high resolution was achieved simultaneously for a large section of reciprocal space including regions closely following three of the principle symmetry directions. The phonon dispersion was reconstructed with less than three hours of measurement time, during which neither the x-ray energy, the sample orientation, nor the detector position were scanned. These results demonstrate how time-domain measurements can complement conventional frequency domain inelastic scattering techniques.

The experiment consists essentially in a coded-aperture hard X-ray (30-200 keV) imager with a square array (13$\times$13) of 2mm-thick planar CZT detectors with a total area of 169 cm$^2$. The total, fully-coded field-of-view is $21^{\circ}\times 21^{\circ}$ and the angular resolution is 1$^{\circ}$43'. In this paper we describe the protoMIRAX instrument and all the subsystems of its balloon gondola, and we show simulated results of the instrument performance. The main objective of protoMIRAX is to carry out imaging spectroscopy of selected bright sources to demonstrate the performance of a prototype of the MIRAX hard X-ray imager. Detailed background and imaging simulations have been performed for protoMIRAX balloon flights. The 3$σ$ sensitivity for the 30-200 keV range is ~1.9 $\times$ 10$^{-5}$ photons cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ for an integration time of 8 hs at an atmospheric depth of 2.7 g cm$^{-2}$ and an average zenith angle of 30$^{\circ}$. We have developed an attitude control system for the balloon gondola and new data handling and ground systems that also include prototypes for the MIRAX satellite. We present the results of Monte Carlo simulations of the camera response at balloon altitudes, showing the expected background level and the detailed sensitivity of protoMIRAX. We also present the results of imaging simulations of the Crab region. The results show that protoMIRAX is capable of making spectral and imaging observations of bright hard X-ray source fields. Furthermore, the balloon observations will carry out very important tests and demonstrations of MIRAX hardware and software in a near space environment.

description: The Analysis of the otolith morphology is a powerful tool to identify different stocks using different statistical approaches. In this study, sagittal otolith shape was used to analyse for the first time the stock structure of the red mullet Mullus barbatus Linnaeus, 1758 sampled during three months from two lagoons in Tunisia: Boughrara and El Biban. Indeed, we examined the variations of otolith shape using Fourier descriptors between the two sides right and left within each population, between the two sexes (male and female), and also between the two populations studied. Sagittal otolith pairs of the fish were included in different statistical analyses by using Fourier Elliptic Analysis (F.E.A.) for 120 specimens from these two lagoons (30 males and 30 females, per station). Our results showed statistically significant differences among the populations of red mullet sampled in two Tunisian lagoons (P < 0.05). However, we detected symmetry (P > 0.05) between the sides of otoliths (Left-Right) from the two sexes within each population. In addition, an asymmetry (P < 0.05) was detected between the pairs of otoliths (Left) from the females of both two populations. Moreover, sexual dimorphism was not revealed in the two sampling sites. The shape variability of otolith between individuals of the two lagoon's sites was probably related to environmental conditions.

description: Objective To review the long-term follow-up data from the authors’ institutional experience of 62 patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) treated with a uniform multimodality regimen. The authors determined the rate of breast preservation, the disease-free and overall survival, and the factors associated with locoregional and distant recurrent disease. Summary Background Data It remains a challenge to achieve local and distant control of LABC. Over the last decade, preoperative or neoadjuvant chemotherapy has emerged as the standard of care for these patients. Successful tumor downstaging has been associated with increased rates of breast-conserving therapy (BCT), but the overall effect on long-term survival remains to be seen. Methods This study examines a cohort of 62 patients with LABC treated at the authors’ institution from 1992 to 1998. The uniform treatment regimen consisted of neoadjuvant doxorubicin (Adriamycin), followed by operation (BCT if sufficient clinical downstaging), followed by non-cross-resistant cyclophosphamide/methotrexate/5-fluorouracil, followed by radiation therapy. Treatment was both dose-intensive and time-intensive, with a total treatment time of 32 to 35 weeks. Results In this patient population, the median age was 44 years, with approximately two thirds white patients and one third African-American. Eighty-two percent of patients were clinical stage III at presentation, 13 patients had T4d inflammatory cancers, and 3 patients were stage IV at diagnosis. Eighty-four percent of patients demonstrated a significant clinical response to doxorubicin. Twenty-eight patients had sufficient clinical downstaging to attempt BCT, and 22 (45%) of 49 noninflammatory patients underwent successful BCT. Pathologic complete response was seen in 15% of patients. Median follow-up for the cohort was 70 months. The local recurrence rate was 14%, including two ipsilateral breast tumor recurrences (10%) in the BCT patients. Seven (12%) patients developed a new primary cancer in the contralateral breast. Distant metastases occurred in 18 (31%) patients, and the 5-year overall survival rate for the cohort was 76%. Furthermore, in the patients who underwent an attempt at BCT, the survival rate was 96% at 5 years. Conclusions Dose-intensive and time-intensive multimodality neoadjuvant therapy was successfully administered to a mixed racial group over shortened times. Patients who had sufficient clinical downstaging to allow BCT have the best long-term outcome. Patients who required mastectomy are at a higher risk of relapse, as well as the development of new contralateral cancers, yet have 5-year survival rates of over 50%.

description: The present study describes the characteristics of female and male reproductive cells during gonadal development and the gonadal maturity scale of the Mediterranean green crab, Carcinus aestuarii. A total of 6283 specimens were collected from the Kırdeniz Lagoon of Izmir Bay in the Aegean Sea. The gonads were removed and processed following the histologic standard tecnique of hematoxylin and eosin staining. Gonad development stages previously determined were based on external and macroscopic morphology and afterwards each stage was microscopically described. C. aestuarii showed a pronounced macroscopic differentiation in size and coloration with the maturation of the gonad, with seven developmental stages in females and six developmental stages in males. In the histological features, the ovary consists of lobes, and each lobe is divided into lobules. A thick capsule surrounds the ovarian lobule, which is composed of follicles, each containing a cluster of oocytes at different types. There were six types of oocytes; protoplasmic, previtellogenic, early vitellogenic, late vitellogenic, mature, atretic. The male reproductive system consisted of testis, vas deferens and an ejaculatory duct. The vas deferens was divided based on histology into three parts such as anterior, median and posterior.

description: Objective: To establish outcome and optimal timing of local control for patients with nonmetastatic Ewing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (ES/PNET) of the chest wall. Methods: Patients ≤ 30 years of age with ES/PNET of the chest wall were entered in 2 consecutive protocols. Therapy included multiagent chemotherapy; local control was achieved by resection, radiotherapy, or both. We compared completeness of resection and disease-free survival in patients undergoing initial surgical resection versus those treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by resection, radiotherapy, or both. Patients with a positive surgical margin received radiotherapy. Results: Ninety-eight (11.3%) of 869 patients had primary tumors of the chest wall. Median follow-up was 3.47 years and 5-year event-free survival was 56% for the chest wall lesions. Ten of 20 (50%) initial resections resulted in negative margins compared with 41 of 53 (77%) negative margins with delayed resections after chemotherapy (P = 0.043). Event-free survival did not differ by timing of surgery (P = 0.69) or type of local control (P = 0.17). Initial chemotherapy decreased the percentage of patients needing radiation therapy. Seventeen of 24 patients (70.8%) with initial surgery received radiotherapy compared with 34 of 71 patients (47.9%) who started with chemotherapy (P = 0.061). If a delayed operation was performed, excluding those patients who received only radiotherapy for local control, only 25 of 62 patients needed radiotherapy (40.3%; P = 0.016). Conclusion: The likelihood of complete tumor resection with a negative microscopic margin and consequent avoidance of external beam radiation and its potential complications is increased with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and delayed resection of chest wall ES/PNET.

description: Objective To identify predictors of nonsentinel node (NSN) tumor involvement in patients with a tumor-involved sentinel node (SN). Summary Background Data For many breast cancer patients who undergo intraoperative lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymphadenectomy (LM/SL), the SN is the only tumor-involved axillary node. Associations between NSN tumor involvement and several clinical and histopathologic factors have been identified. The authors hypothesize that extracapsular extension (ECE) of the SN metastasis is highly predictive of NSN tumor involvement. Methods Between May 1998 and December 2001, 260 patients (263 cases) with clinical T1 or T2 (<5.0 cm) breast cancer underwent LM/SL at the University of North Carolina, using a combined blue dye and technetium sulfur colloid technique. In all cases with a tumor-involved SN, axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) was recommended. Statistical analysis, with Pearson chi-square tests, Fisher exact test, and multiple logistic regression, was performed. Results The SN contained tumor in 74 (28.1%) cases. ALND was performed in 70 of the 74 cases. ECE of the SN metastasis was present in 18 (25.7%) of the 70 cases. Patients with ECE of the SN metastasis were more likely to have NSN tumor involvement and had a greater total number of tumor-involved nodes than patients without ECE of the SN metastasis. Increasing size of the SN metastasis and increasing size of the primary tumor, examined as continuous variables, were associated with an increased likelihood of NSN tumor involvement on univariate analysis. However, only ECE of the SN metastasis was associated with NSN tumor involvement on multivariate analysis. Conclusions ECE of the SN metastasis is a strong predictor of NSN tumor involvement. All patients with ECE of the SN metastasis should undergo mandatory completion ALND.

description: For any ring R the category of monomorphisms is a full subcategory of the morphsim category over R, where the latter is equivalent to the module category of the triangular matrix ring with entries the ring R. In this work, we consider the monomorphism category as a full subcategory of the module category over the Morita ring with all entries the ring R and zero bimodule homomorphisms. This approach provides an interesting link between Morita rings and monomorphism categories. The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, we construct Gorenstein-projective modules over Morita rings with zero bimodule homomorphisms and we provide sufficient conditions for such rings to be Gorenstein Artin algebras. This is the first part of our work which is strongly connected with monomorphism categories. In the second part, we investigate monomorphisms where the domain has finite projective dimension. In particular, we show that the latter category is a Gorenstein subcategory of the monomorphism category over a Gorenstein algebra. Finally, we consider the category of coherent functors over the stable category of this Gorenstein subcategory and show that it carries a structure of a Gorenstein abelian category.
