description: The chemical complexity in low-metallicity hot cores has been confirmed by observations. We investigate the effect of varying physical parameters, such as temperature, density and the cosmic ray ionisation rate (CRIR), on the molecular abundance evolution in low-metallicity hot cores using the UMIST gas phase chemical model. CRIR had the strongest effect on molecular abundance. The resultant molecular abundances were divided into three categories with different trends in time evolution. We compared our results with the observations of hot cores in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Our model fits best with the observations at a time of around $10^5$ years after the evaporation of ice and at the CRIR of $1.36 \times 10^{-16}$ s$^{-1}$. The resultant abundances of the oxygen-bearing complex organic molecules (COMs), such as CH$_3$OH, HCOOCH$_3$ and CH$_3$OCH$_3$, do not fit with observations in the same physical condition and may be located in a different physical environment. Our results suggest that investigating the CRIR value is crucial to predict the molecular evolution in LMC hot cores.

description: Conventional methods for total dust sampling from industrial high-temperature aerosols containing condensable species, e.g., in boilers of municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWI), are always influenced by condensation artifacts. Therefore, we extended the scope of a previously developed probe intended for size-fractionated aerosol sampling with reduced artifacts and employed it for total dust measurements. The dust is collected on quartz fiber filters, which are gravimetrically evaluated and chemically analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and wet-chemical methods. First measurements in the boiler of an MSWI confirm that the probe is also suitable for artifact-minimized total dust sampling. The data are consistent with results from measurements with the size-fractionating method conducted in parallel. By combining the results of both sampling methods, we reveal the average chemical composition of the submicron particles in the aerosol, which is not accessible by one of the two methods alone. © 2017 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: A highly selective chemosensor based on an easy-to-prepare double naphthalene Schiff-base (R) is reported for the colorimetric and fluorometric dual-channel sensing of cyanide by taking advantage of the dipolymer in DMSO–H2O (8:2, v/v) HEPES buffer (pH 7.21) solution. The detection of cyanide was carried out via the nucleophilic attack of cyanide anion on the C = O of the probe's tautomer with a 1:1 binding stoichiometry, which could be confirmed by 1H NMR and MS studies. The detection limit of R for the determination of cyanide was estimated to be 8.434 × 10− 9 M. And other anions, including F− , Cl− , Br− , I− , AcO− , , , , and , had nearly no influence on the probing behaviour. The test strips based on R were fabricated, which could act as convenient and efficient CN−  test kits.

description: Biomolecule-directed self-assembly of π-conjugated oligomers has attracted great attention in the past decade. In this contribution, two conjugates composed of quaterthiophene and tetrapeptide (Gly-Val-Gly-Val) were synthesised, namely peptide–thiophene–peptide (PTP) and thiophene–peptide–thiophene (TPT), to investigate the influence of peptide content ratio and its location in the molecular structures on the nanostructures and properties of the assemblies. Both conjugates formed organogels consisting of left-handed twisted nanostructures; however, anti-parallel β-sheets were observed in PTP while parallel β-sheets were obtained for TPT, although in both cases oligothiophenes adopted an H-like stacking mode. Obvious solvent-induced supramolecular chirality inversion from the oligothiophene segment was observed for PTP while such phenomenon was not clear for TPT. PTP and TPT gels also showed different stabilities towards temperature increase, as evidenced by variable-temperature circular dichroism study. From the data, it is suggested that the rational design of the location and ratio of peptide plays a key role in constructing materials with determined properties based on peptide–thiophene conjugates.

description: The first- and second-generation dendrons constructed from alanine and aspartic acids were synthesised and further modified with a polymerisable acrylamide group at the focal point (MG1 and MG2). The corresponding dendronised oligomers were obtained by polymerisation, and then hydrolysed to afford them with multi-carboxyl groups on the periphery of branched side chains (PG1-COOH and PG2-COOH). The structures of the oligomers were characterised by 1H NMR, Fourier transform infrared and gel permeation chromatograph, and their gelation behaviour was examined. It was found that PG1-COOH and PG2-COOH could form two-component gels, especially, PG1-COOH showed better gelation property. For example, it could gel with aliphatic primary or secondary amines in dimethylformamide and with melamine in acidic aqueous solution. Transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy images showed that the gelators self-assembled into the fibrous networks.

description: Clinical trials often use a binary “fold increase” endpoint defined according to the ratio of interval-censored measurement at end-of-study to that at baseline. We propose a simple yet principled analytic approach based on the linear mixed-effects model for interval-censored data for the analysis of such paired measurements. Having estimated the model parameters, the risk ratio can be estimated by explicit composite estimand and the variance is estimated using the delta method. The estimation can be implemented using the existing procedures in popular statistical software. We use antibody data from the Chloroquine for Influenza Prevention Trial for illustration.

description: Vanadium complexes (VO)2(2,2′-bipy)2(bta)(H2O)2 (1) and (VO)2(1,10-phen)2(bta)(H2O)2 (2) (H4bta = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid, 2,2′-bipy = 2,2-bipyridine and 1,10-phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized by the reaction of V2(SO4)3, H4bta, 2,2′-bipy (for 1) and 1,10-phen (for 2) by hydrothermal methods. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–vis, thermogravimetric analyses, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analyses indicate that 1 and 2 are both VO-bta-N-heterocycle system complexes. The central vanadium is coordinated by N2O4 donors to form a distorted octahedral geometry. The complexes exhibit catalytic bromination activity in a single-pot reaction with conversion of phenol red to bromophenol blue in a mixed solution of H2O-DMF at 30 ± 0.5 °C with pH 5.8, indicating that they can be considered as a functional model of vanadium-dependent haloperoxidases. The practical application of H2O2 detection has also been studied.

description: Dopamine is a neurotransmitter of great physiological relevance. Disorders in dopaminergic signal transduction are associated with psychiatric and neurological pathologies such as Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia and substance abuse. Therefore, a detailed understanding of dopaminergic neurotransmission may provide access to novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of these diseases. Caged compounds with photoremovable groups represent molecular tools to investigate a biological target with high spatiotemporal resolution. Based on the crystal structure of the D-3 receptor in complex with eticlopride, we have developed caged D-2/D-3 receptor ligands by rational design. We initially found that eticlopride, a widely used D-2/D-3 receptor antagonist, was photolabile and therefore is not suitable for caging. Subtle structural modification of the pharmacophore led us to the photostable antagonist dechloroeticlopride, which was chemically transformed into caged ligands. Among those, the 2-nitrobenzyl derivative 4 (MG307) showed excellent photochemical stability, pharmacological behavior and decaging properties when interacting with dopamine receptor-expressing cells.

description: Crystalline silicon is the most commonly used material in photovoltaics but has limitations due to its high cost and non-tunable band gap. A new approach of using inexpensive, non-toxic materials with layers that have different band gaps which absorb a wide range of the solar spectrum has the potential to dramatically increase the efficiencies and lower the costs. Core–shell Si–SiO2 nanoparticles are ideally suited for the photovoltaic application and have been synthesised by different groups in an array of sizes allowing for absorption in a wide spectral range. A theoretical investigation of fundamental charge transfer processes in these systems can potentially lead to improved devices. Calculations on a model core–shell interface with the formula Si264O160 which features a silicon layer sandwiched between two SiO2 layers were performed using the Vienna ab initio software package. The Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof functional in the basis of plane waves was used along with pseudopotentials to simulate electronic structure. The nuclear motion was considered using ab initio molecular dynamics. The density of states, absorption spectrum, partial charge densities, and radiative recombination lifetimes have been calculated. This interface shows quantum confinement behaviour similar to a particle in a box. The role of non-radiative recombination was also determined by relaxation dynamics.

description: Decalepisarayalpathra (J. Joseph and V. Chandras.) Venter, which belongs to the family Apocynaceae, is a perennial under shrub, endemic to southern Western Ghats, India. The highly aromatic tuberous roots of the D. arayalpathra are used as an effective remedy for peptic ulcer, cancer-like afflictions and as rejuvenating tonic by native tribes. The objective of this study was to characterise the root aroma of D. arayalpathra for possible industrial applications. Hydrodistilled volatile oil of the roots was analysed by gas chromatography-flame ionisation detector and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The volatile oil was characterised by the presence of higher amount of an industrially important flavour molecule, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (96.8%) along with some other minor or trace constituents. Owing to characteristic vanillin-like flavour, the root oil of the D. arayalpathra can be explored as a potential substitute of vanillin-aroma in the flavour industry.

Supplementary Material for: Should Hidradenitis Suppurativa Be Included in Dermatoses Showing Koebnerization Is It Friction or Fiction
Creators: name: Boer, J.
Publisher: name: Karger Publishers
Year: 2017
Subjects: Medicine

description: Background: The etiology of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) involves genetic and environmental factors. Well-established associated systemic factors are obesity, smoking, inflammation, and bacteria. Whether localized environmental factors such as friction and pressure may also play a causative role is still unclear. Objective: To describe the possible Koebner phenomenon (KP) in HS. Methods: The case notes on 14 patients with typical HS and additional HS lesions in previously uninvolved skin areas exposed to mechanical stress, e.g., on the abdomen at the level of the waistband, were reviewed with regard to the clinical characteristics of the cohort. Results: All 14 patients (7 females) were obese with a mean BMI of 35.8 (range 30.1-45.0). All patients developed additional ectopic HS lesions at the sites of friction on the convex abdomen. The ectopic lesions were clinically and histopathologically similar to HS. Conclusion: Mechanical stress factors or trauma play a role in obese patients with HS. It is suggested that these new induced lesions fit the concept of the KP. This phenomenon seems to occur in the so-called frictional furunculoid type of HS and may explain the unique distribution at certain localizations on the body of this follicular cutaneous eruption. Removal in an early stage of HS of external stress factors that can lead to the KP should be part of the treatment, especially in obese patients.

description: A single robust RP-HPLC method was developed and validated as per ICH guidelines for the accurate quantification of curcuminoids in commercial turmeric products, ayurvedic medicines, and nanovesicular systems. The proposed chromatographic method was found to be specific, linear (r2 ≥ 0.999), precise at intra- and inter-day levels (%RSD <2.0%), accurate (% recovery 99.14-102.29%) and robust. The limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were found to be 7.40 and 24.70 n g mL−1 for curcumin (CUR), 9.24 and 30.80 n g mL−1 for demethoxycurcumin (DMC), and 6.48 and 21.61 n g mL−1 for bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) respectively. Amongst different commercial turmeric products and ayurvedic medicines tested, the contents of curcumin (3.54 ± 0.06 to 25.8 ± 0.08 mg g −1), demethoxycurcumin (1.28 ± 0.02 to 9.97 ± 0.03 mg g −1) and bisdemethoxycurcumin (0.50 ± 0.01 to 5.97 ± 0.01 mg g −1) varied significantly. The developed method was effectively applied to the determination of encapsulation efficiency (EE) of curcuminoids (ranged between 84.33 ± 3.50% to 96.59 ± 2.53%) in the nanovesicular systems. In conclusion, the reported method is suitable for analysis of curcuminoids in a wide variety of turmeric products and used for the quality control of products that contain curcuminoids.

We utilized the Beijing Pharmacovigilance Database (BPD) to evaluate the appropriateness of epinephrine for DIA management. Methods: DIA cases collected in the BPD from January 2004 to December 2014 were adjudicated and analyzed for demographics, causative drugs, clinical signs, outcomes, initial treatment, route, dosing, and cardiovascular adverse events (CAE) of epinephrine. Results: DIA was primarily caused by antibiotics (38.4%), radiocontrast agents (11.9%), traditional Chinese medicine injections (10.9%), and chemotherapeutic drugs (10.3%). Only 708 (59.5%) patients received epinephrine treatment. Patients who received epinephrine were more likely to experience wheezing (p < 0.001) and respiratory arrest (p < 0.001). Among 518 patients with a complete record of the epinephrine administration route, the percentage of patients receiving it by intramuscular (IM) injection, subcutaneous (SC) injection, intravenous (IV) bolus injection, or IV continuous infusion was 16.9, 31.5, 43.5, and 8.1%, respectively. Among the 427 patients with a record of both the administration route and the dosing, an overdose was more likely with IV bolus (94.1%) in contrast to IM injection (56.6%; p < 0.001) or SC injection (43.7%; p < 0.001). Among the patients analyzed for CAE (n = 349), 17 patients accounted for 19 CAE, and 13 (76.5%) of these patients were overdosed with pinephrine. Conclusion: Underuse, inappropriate IV bolus use, and overdosing were the 3 major problems with epinephrine use in DIA in China. Educational training for health care professionals on the appropriate use of epinephrine in managing anaphylactic reactions is suggested.

description: Routine health checkup is an essential strategy for monitoring population health and maintaining healthy workforces. However, there was a lack of cancer screening tests among routine health checkups due to high costs and unreliable methods. We conducted a two-stage study to evaluate the value of a blood test, Cancer Differentiation Analysis (CDATM), which is developed to differentiate the blood samples of healthy individuals from those of cancer patients through measuring and analyzing multiple biophysical properties. The first stage of a cross-sectional study included 75,942 healthy individuals in routine health checkup, and the second stage of a prospective population-based cohort included 1,957 healthy community members. Forty-eight and ten cancer cases were identified among cross-sectional study and prospective population-based cohort, respectively. Using a pre-determined cutoff, we found that the CDA™ test could differentiate blood samples between healthy and cancer individuals with >93% specificity and >55% sensitivity in both studies. With high specificity and moderate sensitivity of CDA™ test, our study indicates that we can analyze biophysical properties in the blood to rapidly and reliably screen healthy individuals from cancer patients in a health checkup setting where most individuals are healthy or with average risk of cancer.

description: This study was intended to extract and identify the proanthocyanidins from Larix gmelinii bark. Different extraction methods and degreasing methods were investigated. The content of proanthocyanidins, antioxidant activities and FT-IR analysis were used to evaluate and identify these extracts. The ultrasonic-assisted extracts displayed a higher content of proanthocyanidins and antioxidant activity than supercritical carbon dioxide extracts. The defatted extracts displayed a higher content of proanthocyanidins and antioxidant activity than un-defatted extracts. DPPH radical-scavenging capacity of extracts (29.88 μg mL− 1) was higher than VC (36.04 μg mL− 1), and the inhibition effect of lipid peroxidation of extracts (15%) was higher than VC (13%) and VE (11%). The FT-IR analysis revealed that the main phenolic compounds were almost the same as proanthocyanidin standards.

description: The term ‘blended professional’ first coined by Celia Whitchurch in 2009, defined the role of Academic Librarians to be a combination of information literacy instructors, administrators and support staff. This presentation highlights my personal experience of being a part of a “blended learning” initiative within the Peter Faber Business School at ACU. As a blended professional, I worked in partnership with academics, e-learning advisors and other librarians. This was a key element within the defined approach of a blended professional along with the opportunity to engage with academics, partnering in resource and curriculum development. The delivery of curriculum was reviewed with an aim to reduce the face-to-face lecture and enhance in-class and online application of critical thinking skills. My role developed from providing information literacy instruction to providing guidance in the use of digital technologies within Moodle. This was a collaborative initiative between the academics and academic e-learning advisors on a common platform to enable the integration of blended eLearning digital technologies.
This experience fits well with the topic of Technology innovation and service management because providing academics with a just-in-time approach to integrating open access and library subscription resources at a point-of-need is a new personalised approach for both, the Library and the academics at ACU. The focus of the blended learning project is to enable independent student learning using digital technologies to find, use and share information. My role was to embed assistance within the curriculum planning level. As Chua (2016) reflects, “early collaboration and preparation are critical for building academic capacity in digital literacy”. This was a key success factor for building and sustaining an on-going partnership with the School.

description: In search for novel nematic materials, a laterally linked H-shaped liquid crystal dimer has been synthesised and characterised. The distinct feature of this material is a very broad temperature range (about 50oC) of the nematic phase, which is in contrast with other reported H-dimers that show predominantly smectic phases. The material exhibits interesting textural features at the scale of nanometers (presence of smectic clusters) and at the macroscopic scales. Namely, at a certain temperature, the flat samples of the material show occurrence of domain walls. These domain walls are caused by the surface anchoring transition and separate regions with differently tilted director. Both above and below this transition temperature, the material represents a uniaxial nematic, as confirmed by the studies of defects in flat samples and samples with colloidal inclusions, freely suspended drops, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.

description: Markov Logic Networks join probabilistic modeling with first-order logic and have been shown to integrate well with the Semantic Web foundations. While several approaches have been devised to tackle the subproblems of rule mining, grounding, and inference, no comprehensive workflow has been proposed so far. In this paper, we fill this gap by introducing a framework called Mandolin, which implements a workflow for knowledge discovery specifically on RDF datasets. Our framework imports knowledge from referenced graphs, creates similarity relationships among similar literals, and relies on state-of-the-art techniques for rule mining, grounding, and inference computation. We show that our best configuration scales well and achieves at least comparable results with respect to other statistical-relational-learning algorithms on link prediction.

description: This file contains the supplementary material (data and program code) for the thesis "Meta-analysis of aggregate data on medical events". A meta-analysis combines analysis results from multiple independent sets of data. Meta-analyses to assess whether a treatment a ects the occurrence of a medical event are frequently based on published aggregate data from controlled clinical trials. In that setting, the number of patients with an event in each trial is often treated as a binomial random variable. This assumes that censoring times have the same distribution in all treatment groups of a trial, and are independent of event times. To allow for different drop-out time distributions across treatment groups, we derived a likelihood for commonly available aggregate data that assumes specific event and drop-out time distributions for a number of situations. These include exponentially or Weibull distributed event and drop-out times, event-driven trials, the situation when a patient may experience recurrent events and die of any one of them, and when individual patient data are available for some trials. An exchangeability assumption for parameters of survival distributions across trials is more plausible than for the expected proportion of patients with an event. For this reason the proposed likelihood is more suitable than a binomial likelihood for use in hierarchical meta-analysis models and for incorporating prior information from historical control group data. These approaches are useful in sparse data settings and to avoid parameter identifiability problems. We used simulations to compare hierarchical Bayesian models with the proposed trial-level likelihood against other meta-analysis methods and to compare methods for using historical control group data. We also demonstrated how conjugate priors may be constructed and used to analyze exponentially distributed failure times without the need for Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.
