Academic Orthopaedic Leadership: Current Challenges and Lessons Learned (2018)

Health-care reform, market competition, cost containment, and pressure for productivity have dramatically impacted the practice of orthopaedic surgery and academic surgical training. Orthopaedic leaders and training programs are striving to identify and solve these contemporary challenges. Herein, we focus on 4 areas that currently pose important challenges to modern orthopaedic surgical departments and academic hospital systems, including the demanding and evolving skill sets that are required of physician leaders, the effects of the changing medical-legal environment on academic medicine, the impact of increased clinical productivity emphasis on surgical education, and departmental leadership transitions.
Society, History, and Values: A Cultural Study of Paul Yee's Chinese-Canadian Female Characters (1999)

Resume: L' auteur analyse les personnages feminins du romancier Paul Yee dans le contexte de l'emergence du multiculturalisme canadien. Ce dernier parvient, tout d'abord, a creer des personnages de femmes qui echappent au cadre de la societe sino-canadienne au caractere patriarcal prononce; ensuite, grâce a de solides recherches historiques, il met au jour le riche repertoire les mythes canadiens et chinois; en fin, sa connaissance discrete mais approfondie du taoisme et du confucianisme, et son assimilation des valeurs canadiennes font de scs oeuvres des recits complexes et stimulants.

Summary: The paper studies a range of Paul Yee's female protagonists by situating them in the challenging and rewarding social, historical, and cultural context of an increasingly multicultural country--Canada. It argues three main points. First, Yee 's solid social or sociological expertise combines well with his creative imagination in portraying female characters who break away from the super-stable, mostly male-dominated or patriarchal Chinese society and family structure; second, a historian turned writer, Yee's rich and first-hand historical knowledge and experience enable him to draw from both Chinese and Canadian histories, myths and mythologies; third, his profound though somewhat hidden philosophical systems express themselves largely in two forms of values: Confucian and Taoist. The interplay between these two, compounded by the third clement of Canadian value systems, makes Yee's work sophisticated and thought-provoking.
The effect of liposomal moisturizing cream on dry skin: a preliminary double-blind study (1993)

The moisturizing effect of a liposomal preparation was evaluated and compared with a commercially available moisturizing preparation in a double-blind randomized left/right clinical trial in 17 subjects. The liposomal moisturizing cream was formulated from both multi-and unilamellar vesicles averaging 100 nm in diameter, composed of soy lecithin and cholesterol. A modified version of the regression method was used in the trial and the patients were treated for 2 weeks. There was a small but significant difference in moisturizing efficiency of the two preparations in favour of the control preparation after 1 and 2 weeks treatment (P = 0.02 and 0.03, respectively). However, patient acceptance was significantly higher for the preparation containing the liposomes.
Expression of the Na+-HCO3−cotransporter and its role in pHiregulation in guinea pig salivary glands (2006)

Patterns of salivary HCO(3)(-) secretion vary and depend on species and gland types. However, the identities of the transporters involved in HCO(3)(-) transport and the underlying mechanism of intracellular pH (pH(i)) regulation in salivary glands still remain unclear. In this study, we examined the expression of the Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporter (NBC) and its role in pH(i) regulation in guinea pig salivary glands, which can serve as an experimental model to study HCO(3)(-) transport in human salivary glands. RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, and pH(i) measurements from BCECF-AM-loaded cells were performed. The amiloride-sensitive Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) played a putative role in pH(i) regulation in salivary acinar cells and also appeared to be involved in regulation in salivary ducts. In addition to NHE, NBC also played a role in pH(i) regulation in both acini and ducts. In the parotid gland, NBC1 was functionally expressed in the basolateral membrane (BLM) of acinar cells and the luminal membrane (LM) of ducts. In the submandibular gland, NBC1 was expressed only in the BLM of ducts. NBC1 expressed in these two types of salivary glands takes up HCO(3)(-) and is involved in pH(i) regulation. Although NBC3 immunoreactivity was also detected in submandibular gland acinar cells and in the ducts of both glands, it is unlikely that NBC3 plays any role in pH(i) regulation. We conclude that NBC1 is functionally expressed and plays a role in pH(i) regulation in guinea pig salivary glands but that its localization and role are different depending on the type of salivary glands.

Materials Degradation Studies for High Temperature Steam Electrolysis Systems (2016)

Experiments are currently in progress to assess the high temperature degradation behavior of materials in solid oxide electrolysis systems. This research includes the investigation of various electrolysis cell components and balance of plant materials under both anodic and cathodic gas atmospheres at temperatures up to 850°C. Current results include corrosion data for a high temperature nickel alloy used for the air-side flow field in electrolysis cells and a commercial ferritic stainless steel used as the metallic interconnect. Three different corrosion inhibiting coatings were also tested on the steel material. The samples were tested at 850ºC for 500 h in both air and H2O/H2 atmospheres. The results of this research will be used to identify degradation mechanisms and demonstrate the suitability of candidate materials for long-term operation in electrolysis cells.
Burst suppression in sleep in a routine outpatient EEG (2014)

Burst suppression (BS) is an electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern that is characterized by brief bursts of spikes, sharp waves, or slow waves of relatively high amplitude alternating with periods of relatively flat EEG or isoelectric periods. The pattern is usually associated with coma, severe encephalopathy of various etiologies, or general anesthesia. We describe an unusual case of anoxic brain injury in which a BS pattern was seen during behaviorally defined sleep during a routine outpatient EEG study.
Haematogenous infection of a resurfacing hip replacement after transurethral resection of the prostate (2009)

A 66-year-old man presented with an infected resurfacing hip replacement in the immediate post-operative period following an uneventful transurethral resection of the prostate. Prophylactic antibiotics had been administered on induction of anaesthesia. The hip prosthesis had been inserted seven years previously and had been hitherto asymptomatic. The hip was washed out and microbiological examination identified Enterococcus faecalis as the infecting micro-organism. Despite current recommendations, clinicians undertaking invasive procedures which can lead to bacteraemia in patients with prosthetic joint replacements should be aware of the risk of haematogenous seeding in such prostheses, which although low, has potentially disastrous consequences.
Evaluación de la adhesión de un pegante realizado con almidón nativo de yuca (Manihot sculenta Crantz) variedad M-Tai (2018)

En este estudio se evaluó las fuerzas de adhesividad y de cáscara de un pegante. El pegante se realizó con almidón nativo de yuca (Manihot sculenta Crantz) variedad M-Tai y se usó hidróxido de sodio como agente hidrolizante. En la elaboración del pegante se evaluaron cinco soluciones de almidón nativo de yuca (10, 20, 30, 40 y 50% p/v) y cuatro concentraciones de NaOH (0, 0.66, 1.33 y 2 % p/p). Los resultados indicaron que las uniones papel-papel, cartón-cartón y papel- vidrio, realizadas con los pegantes hechos con 40 %-2 %, 40 %-0 % y 50 %-0 % p/v-p/p de almidón de yuca y NaOH, respectivamente, presentaron mayor fuerza de adhesión. Las uniones papel-papel, cartón-cartón y papel-vidrio que mostraron mayor fuerza de fricción, como un indicativo de mayor durabilidad del pegamento, fueron los pegantes realizados con 50 %-2 %, 50 %-1.33 % y 50 %-2 % p/v-p/p de almidón y NaOH, respectivamente. El pegante a base de almidón de yuca no presentó diferencias significativas (p &lt; 0.05) con tres adhesivos comerciales (Colbocol, Supertack y Pegajoso), teniendo mejor adhesividad y durabilidad en las uniones hechas con los sustratos papel-papel y papel-vidrio.
173. Novel Cell-Specific Gene Delivery for Tumors Using a Drug or Gene Delivery System Based on Responses to Intracellular Signals (D-RECS) Concept (2006)

Gene therapy has been anticipated as a medical approach for treating tumors or hereditary diseases. However, there is a serious issue regarding the present gene delivery methodologies, since almost all the gene delivery methods have insufficient ability to specifically recognize the target diseased cells and distinguish them from normal cells, especially in the same tissue or organ. Here, we propose a novel method for gene therapy using our recently proposed concept of a drug or gene delivery system based on responses to cellular signals (D-RECS) (1,2), particularly to phosphorylation of protein kinase C (PKC) α. In this concept, an intracellular signal that is specifically and abnormally activated in the target diseased cells is used for the activation of transgene expression. We tried here to apply our D-RECS concept for cancer treatment using PKCa as a target signal. PKC α is a serine/threonine kinase that plays key roles in tumor cell differentiation and proliferation. Thus, a cationic peptide that was highly sensitive to PKC α was designed and a polyacrylamide polymer containing this peptide as pendant side chains was synthesized. The polymer containing the cationic peptide formed a stable complex with anionic DNA, which suppressed gene expression. When the peptide was phosphorylated by PKC α, the DNA was released from the polymer-DNA complex, indicating that the newly developed polymer was suitable for tumor cell-specific control of gene expression in a target tissue. Intratumor delivery of a luciferase-encoding plasmid DNA using the polymer was performed by electroporation. The luciferase activity in the delivery system using the positive polymer for PKC α phosphorylation was over 20-fold higher than that using a negative control polymer in which the phosphorylated serine in the peptide was substituted with alanine. These results indicate that the D-RECS method is applicable to gene therapy in vivo. In addition, our method will make it possible to differentially control transgene expression in normal and abnormal cells by controlling the phosphorylation sensitivity and selectivity of the substrate peptide to a target molecule showing extraordinary and continuous activation in the target diseased cells.

An extreme ultraviolet radiation source based on a gas discharge plasma (1999)

An extreme ultraviolet radiation source that emits in the spectral range around 13 nm wavelength or 100 eV photon energy is discussed. The source is based on a small pinch plasma which is generated in a fast discharge of electrically stored energy in the range of 1 Joule. Theoretical considerations are presented which show that this energy is close to the minimal required energy for a dynamic pinch plasma which effectively emits radiation in the spectral range of interest. Here, the constraints given by the gas discharge apparatus have to be taken into account. These constraints refer to, e.g., the length of the plasma column or the achievable compression or number density.

A Monte Carlo study of backscattering effects in the photoelectron emission from CsI into CH4and Ar-CH4mixtures (2007)

Monte Carlo simulation is used to investigate photoelectron backscattering effects in the emission from a CsI photocathode into CH4 and Ar-CH4 mixtures for incident monochromatic photons with energies Eph in the range 6.8 eV to 9.8 eV (182 nm to 127 nm), and photons from a continuous VUV Hg(Ar) lamp with a spectral distribution peaked at Eph = 6.7 eV (185 nm), considering reduced applied electric fields E/N in the 0.1 Td to 40 Td range. The addition of CH4 to a noble gas efficiently increases electron transmission and drift velocity, due to vibrational excitation of the molecules at low electron energies. Results are presented for the photoelectron transmission efficiencies f, where f is the fraction of the number of photoelectrons emitted from CsI which are transmitted through the gas as compared to vacuum. The dependence of f on Eph, E/N, and mixture composition is analyzed and explained in terms of electron scattering in the different gas media, and results are compared with available measurements. Electron drift parameters are also calculated and compared with experimental data, confirming the choice of electron scattering cross-sections used in the simulations.

A Novel Business Intelligence Technique to Improve High Performance within an Organization Applying Insights from Hydrogeological Case (2013)

Using the ubiquitous satellites, smart phones and personal devices, users are generating big data and multimedia effortlessly. These multimedia (including text, audio, photos, video, images) are geo-coded and time-stamped (spatio-temporal data). Unfortunately, the share volume, velocity, variety, and variability of spatio-temporal data pose serious challenges to the current spatio-temporal data analysis tools for understanding and identifying which data are critical to improving our tactic or strategic decision making. To address this issue, our study presents how Fourier decomposition analysis and surface curvature signature, a novel business intelligence technique, can be used to enhance the visualization of big data for business decision making and competitive advantage. We use hydrogeological well data to test the technique; and the results have practical implications that can be applied by organizations to track extreme market conditions, follow online shopping behavior of web users and gain knowledge for better decision-making.
Modified Normalized Min-Sum decoding of LDPC codes (2008)

In this paper, we present an improvement on the normalized min-sum (NMS) decoding algorithm for low density parity check codes. The modified NMS (M-NMS) algorithm introduces a more efficient adjustment for check node update computation. Taking the sub-minimum value among extrinsic information from the variable nodes into consideration, we make the correction factor varies with different iterations. Results show that, compared with standard min-sum (MS) and NMS decoding algorithms, the proposed method not only offers a better performance but also achieves a lower error floor in the high SNR region.
Maturation of redox regulatory mechanisms in the epididymis. (1998)

As spermatozoa pass through the epididymis they complete a maturation process that enables these cells to participate in the process of fertilization. Epididymal maturation involves a complex cascade of changes involving the remodelling of the sperm surface, the induction of chromatin condensation, the acquisition of movement, and development of the potential for capacitation. In this review we shall consider how changes in the redox status of mammalian spermatozoa may contribute to the completion of these maturation events. Spermatozoa from all regions of the epididymis exhibit a spontaneous capacity for superoxide anion production which can be enhanced by exposure to NADPH, particularly in the caput region. It is hypothesized that this spontaneous free radical generating activity is mediated by a membrane-bound NADPH oxidase, the function of which is to generate the peroxides that are needed to serve as hydrogen acceptors for phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase in the induction of sperm chromatin condensation. As spermatozoa enter the cauda epididymidis they also express a capacity for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation when released into simple, defined culture media. The onset of this activity is thought to be associated with the induction of sperm capacitation through stimulation of the tyrosine phosphorylation events involved in the attainment of a capacitated state. It is concluded that sperm maturation is a dynamic, redox regulated process, any imbalance in which could lead to the production of spermatozoa that are compromised in terms of their potential for fertilization and the integrity of their DNA.
Combined beta-galactosidase and immunogold/silver staining for immunohistochemistry and DNA in situ hybridization. (1990)

A combination of beta-galactosidase enzyme and the immunogold/silver staining method was studied for evaluation of double-staining experiments. Applications are shown for immunohistochemical double staining using two monoclonal antibodies and for combined immunohistochemistry and DNA in situ hybridization in one tissue section. The following advantages for the present double-staining method were evaluated: superior sensitivity of the immunogold/silver staining method for at least one epitope, which also allows detection of biotinylated DNA probes. The structure of the indolyl precipitate after revelation of beta-galactosidase activity did not show a concealing effect during a sequential double-staining method, as compared with the visualization of peroxidase with diaminobenzidine. These factors, and the sharply contrasting colored reaction products of beta-galactosidase (blue-green) and the immunogold/silver staining method including silver enhancement (brown-black), allow clear distinction of mixed-stained cell constituents.
