P3.29: Ten years (or more) later, with or without the intestinal graft: present and future? (2019)

Introduction: Intestinal transplantation (IT) remains a challenging procedure. The long term outcome, especially if the graft has been removed, is not well known. We report on clinical and pathological features with and without graft at 10 years or more after IT to discuss possible improvements. Methods: Of 71 children transplanted between 1989 and 2007, 38 survived more than 10 years after IT: 26 with a functional graft, 9 on home parenteral nutrition (PN), 3 lost to follow-up. The median follow-up was 14.6 years, in our pediatric center, then in Beaujon Hospital for 21 patients. Long term biopsies were available for 21 patients. Data are medians. Results: Indications of IT were: short bowel syndrome (34%), congenital enteropathy (34%), motility disorder (32%). Age at IT was 4.1 years and at last follow-up 20.1 years. Patient and graft survivals were 53% and 34%. The graft was removed in 12 (34%) for rejection; 5/12 patients were re-transplanted, 3 are well after 9.8–17.4 years follow-up. Five (14%) patients died, 2 transplanted (lymphoma, sepsis), 2 after re-transplantation, one on home PN (sepsis). The 26 patients with graft were free of PN, 65% had liver-small bowel transplantation. Overall and fat absorptions were 91% and 89%. The height percentile (-0.5 SD) was higher than at IT. The measured renal clearance was 88 ml/min/1.73 m2. Five patients (19%) had a lymphoproliferative syndrome, 42% a graft rejection more than one year post-IT, 42% had DSA (donor specific antibodies) without rejection. On biopsies they had a mild to moderate increase of mononuclear cells in the lamina propria, and of eosinophils for half of them. There was no sign of vascular rejection. 3/7 children had a school delay, 2/19 adults were unemployed, 8 (31%) had psychiatric disorders. The graft had been removed in 9 patients: all were stable on home PN. On liver biopsy, 2/8 patients had fibrosis ≥ F3, 6 steatosis. Two received GLP-2 with decreased PN needs. 3/4 children had a school delay, 1/5 adults were unemployed, 5 patients (56%) had psychiatric disorders. Conclusion: IT remains difficult but leads to digestive autonomy and catch-up growth without major complications of immunosuppression. The long-term pathology is reassuring despite the presence of DSA. The prognosis in case of graft removal is acceptable. Re-transplantation carries a significant mortality. Multidisciplinary care with early psychosocial follow-up is essential.

Electrophysiology of<i>Ascaris</i>muscle and anti-nematodal drug action (1996)

Three groups of anthelmintic drugs act directly and selectively on muscle membrane receptors of parasitic nematodes. These groups of anthelmintics are: (1) The Nicotinic Agonists (levamisole, pyrantel, morantel and oxantel) that act on acetylcholine receptors of nematode somatic muscle; (2) The GABA Agonist, piperazine, that acts on nematode muscle GABA receptors; and (3) The Avermectins that open glutamate gated Cl- channels on nematode pharyngeal muscle. The electrophysiology and pharmacology of muscle and neuromuscular transmission the nematode parasite, Ascaris suum, is outlined and effects of anthelmintics that interfere with transmission described. Resistance to anthelmintics has appeared in some parasitic nematodes but the mechanisms of this resistance remain to be determined.

P3‐203: Silent infarcts and cognitive impairment in community‐dwelling elderly from Singapore (2012)

Silent lacunar infarcts are frequently detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in elderly populations and have been implicated in the development of cognitive impairment and dementia. However, few studies have been performed in non-Caucasian community-based samples. We, therefore, examined the association between silent infarcts and cognitive impairment in community-dwelling elderly from Singapore. This study is part of the on-going Singapore Chinese Eye Study and Singapore Malay Eye Study. Selected subjects were invited to undergo clinical assessments, including extensive neuropsychological testing and brain MRI. Lacunar infarcts were defined as the presence of focal hyperintensities on T2 weighted images >3mm and <15mm and the presence of a hyperintense rim on Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) sequences. If there was no prior clinical history of stroke, these lacunar infarcts were considered to be “silent”. Cognitive function was categorized into no cognitive impairment (NCI), cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND)-mild, CIND-moderate and dementia using internationally accepted criteria. The associations between lacunar infarcts and cognitive function were assessed using logistic regression models. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were computed adjusting for age and gender, and additionally for mean arterial blood pressure, serum total cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, smoking, presence of white matter lesions and of microbleeds. Out of 356 subjects, 53(15%) had lacunar infarcts with 37 (10.4%) classified as silent infarcts. For CIND-mild, presence of silent infarct gave an age- and gender adjusted OR of 2.84 (95% CI: 0.90–8.95), whereas for CIND-moderate/dementia the OR was 5.15 (95% CI: 1.57–16.89). After adjustment for systemic risk factors, the corresponding OR for CIND-mild was 3.28 (95% CI: 0.92–11.73) and for CIND-mod/dementia OR = 4.84 (95% CI: 1.33–17.63). Separate adjustments with periventricular and deep white matter and presence of microbleeds did not alter these Results: for CIND-mild OR = 2.69 (95% CI: 0.83–8.76) and for CIND-moderate/dementia OR = 4.16 (95% CI: 1.24–13.92). In this study, among community-dwelling Asian elderly, the presence of silent infarct is associated with significant cognitive impairment independent of systemic risk factors and other MRI markers of cerebral small vessel disease.
Azotaemic Inhibition of Organic Anion Transport in the Kidney of the Rat: Mechanisms and Characteristics (1971)

1. While azotaemic sera depressed the in-vitro Na-iodohippurate transport of rat kidney slices at any concentration, normal sera excited transport at low concentrations and depressed transport at high concentrations. The depression of transport by azotaemic sera was partially overcome by neomycin feeding in contrast to the depression by normal sera, which was not altered by neomycin feeding. 2. Plotting the reciprocal of sodium-iodohippurate accumulated by slices against the reciprocal of the media concentrations of sodium iodohippurate suggested that the depression of hippurate transport produced by normal and azotaemic sera was competitive in nature. 3. Normal sera slowed the efflux of Na-iodohippurate from kidney slices while azotaemic sera affected it very little. 4. The depression produced by normal and azotaemic sera and the stimulation produced by low concentrations of normal sera were seen with serum ultrafiltrates and dialysates, and after passage through cation exchange columns, but not anion exchange columns. 5. The effects on Na-iodohippurate accumulation by normal and azotaemic sera could be reproduced with metabolizable (lactate), and nonmetabolizable (hippurate) organic anions as well as combinations of these. 6. The implications of these observations on the altered renal transport of Na-iodohippurate produced by azotaemic and normal sera are discussed.
Electric vehicle energy consumption estimation for a fleet management system (2019)

Accurate estimation of vehicles’ energy consumption is a demanding task. It might not be so critical for conventional vehicles because of their high travel range; however, this is something important for electric vehicles (EVs). On the other hand, EVs with less energy on board need more accurate energy management systems. This study focuses on the development of an energy consumption estimation model to be used in an EV fleet management system (FMS). The proposed estimator consists of a vehicle model, a driver model, and terrain models. It is demonstrated that a combination of these three parts can provide an accurate estimation of EV energy consumption on a particular route. As part of this study, a commercially available passenger car is modeled using MATLAB/Simulink. A number of specific routes are selected for EV road testing to be driven for simulation model verification. In the second part of this study, the impact of energy consumption estimation accuracy is investigated at a larger scale for a fleet of EVs. It is quantitatively demonstrated how much sensitive is the performance of a FMS to the accuracy of the energy estimator. Simulation results have shown that the total energy consumption of an EV fleet is decreased significantly by improving the estimation accuracy. It is also demonstrated how the uncertainties in EV energy consumption estimation limit the overall performance of a FMS.
[Arhinencephaly detected by a pitressin-sensitive diabetes insipidus]. (1978)

A 4-month old child presented with facial malformations and severe hypernatremia. Hypernatremia was secondary to diabetes insipidus due to a disorder of ADH secretion, associated with cerebral malformations. Clofibrate treatment was ineffective. However, after the patient was treated by a low osmotic residue diet, an increased water-intake and hydrochlorothiazide, natremia became normal and growth resumed.
Motion Stereoscopic Vision, the Pulfrich Phenomenon, and Baseball Hitting (1997)

In reply In response to the letter from Laby et al, we have the following comments. First, although they may believe that the Pulfrich phenomenon is an inappropriate measure of motion stereoscopic vision (the motion-in-depth channel), there is no clinical test available to measure motion stereoscopic vision directly and the Pulfrich phenomenon does allow indirect access to this system. Contrary to the opinion of Laby et al, Grimsdale 1 thought that the Pulfrich phenomenon was important in baseball hitting; he proposed that it was the probable explanation why players lose their hitting ability with age. Previously, we reported 2 notable relationships between the Pulfrich phenomenon and the ability of professional baseball players. 2 We found a notable difference between the accuracy of minor- and major-league players in performing a computerized test based on the Pulfrich phenomenon. More importantly, we demonstrated a notable correlation between the test results and the batting
Temperature climatology of the middle atmosphere from long‐term lidar measurements at middle and low latitudes (1998)

Long‐term measurements from several lidar instruments (Rayleigh and sodium) located at 44.0°N, 40.6°N, 34.4°N, and 19.5°N have been used to develop a new climatology of the middle atmosphere temperature. For each instrument, the measurements on every individual day of the year over the entire long‐term record were averaged to build a composite year of temperature profiles. These profiles were then interpolated to provide temperature values at 1‐km altitude intervals so that the climatology comprises daily temperature values at integer altitudes between 15 and 110 km, depending on the instrument. The climatologies for each lidar were then compared to the CIRA‐86 model and to each other. Large differences between the lidar temperatures and the CIRA‐86 temperatures are identified and explained. When compared to all instruments, CIRA‐86 appears systematically much too cold between 90 and 95 km, by 20 K or more, and possibly 6–8 K too warm around 80 km, making its use as a reference atmosphere model questionable at these altitudes. The annual and semiannual components of the seasonal variability and the 2‐ to 33‐day period variability were investigated. An annual cycle with 6–7 K amplitude in the upper stratosphere, increasing to 15–20 K at 80 km, is observed at midlatitudes. This cycle is in phase with the solar flux in the stratosphere and in opposite phase in the mesosphere with a very cold summer mesopause at 85 km, in good agreement with previous climatologies. At lower latitudes, a semiannual oscillation propagates downward from 85 to 30 km and is characterized by a stronger first cycle than the second (4 and 2 K amplitude respectively). The 2‐ to 33‐day variability at midlatitudes shows a maximum during winter around 40 km and in the mésosphère. The first peak is associated with planetary wave activity and stratospheric warmings and the second to the occurrence of mesospheric temperature inversions. Finally, sudden seasonal transitions, highly consistent between all instruments, have been observed. In particular, in the early winter midlatitudes a two‐step warming of the winter mésosphère between 65 and 85 km as well as a cooling of the lower mésosphère appear to be real climatological events rather than some short‐term geophysical or instrumental random variability.
A New Video Compression Scheme Combining Conditional Replenishment and Address Event Representation (2007)

A novel video compression scheme is presented in this paper. This algorithm is implemented based on a conditional replenishment Address Event Representation (AER) imager, where image signals are compressed on the sensor level by employing the conditional replenishment algorithm. The intensity value of each pixel is compared to the last replenished frame. If the magnitude of the difference exceeds a certain threshold, the pixel value is quantized by 1-bit Fast Boundary Adaptation Rule (FBAR), while the address of the pixel is located and read-out by the AER method. Simulation result shows that a compression ratio of 11.73 can be achieved while obtaining a PSNR value of 35.22dB. Bandwidth requirement is reduced since pixel intensity levels are ordered before applying 1-bit adaptive quantization. Simulation was also performed on the raster scanning read-out case for the sake of comparison.

The Formylation of Amino Acids with Acetic Formic Anhydride (1965)

Abstract The formylation of amino acids with acetic formic anhydride has been studied. This anhydride is prepared by the reaction of acetyl chloride with sodium formate or, preferably, from ketene and formic acid. When various monoamino monocarboxylic acids are treated with acetic formic anhydride by a simple procedure and under mild conditions, N-formylamino acids were obtained in satisfactory yields.
Resistance of Pre- and Post-epidemic Strains of <i>Agaricus bisporus</i> to <i>Trichoderma aggressivum</i> f. <i>aggressivum</i> (2003)

Since the early 1990s, the epidemic of green mold on the cultivated mushroom Agaricus bisporus in North America has been caused by Trichoderma aggressivum f. aggressivum. The findings of earlier research suggested that the microevolutionary emergence of T. aggressivum f. aggressivum coincided with the onset of the epidemic. This hypothesis was tested further by determining the disease susceptibility of mushroom strains grown widely before the epidemic manifested. The results of complementary methods of analysis, which entailed a grain protection assay and cropping trials, established that two pre-epidemic strains were more susceptible to green mold than three post-epidemic strains being cultivated at the time of the epidemic. Thus, if T. aggressivum f. aggressivum had been present within cultivated mushrooms prior to the epidemic, it should have been detected. It still appears to be true that T. aggressivum f. aggressivum emerged during the 1990s in a manner that remains unclear.
HIGH FIELD TORQUE MEASUREMENTS ON DILUTE SINGLE CRYSTAL Y<sub>2-x</sub>Nd<sub>x</sub>Fe<sub>14</sub>B (1988)

The magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy and spin reorientations have been determined for single crystal Y1.8Nd0.2Fe14B and Y1.9Nd0.1Fe14B in the (100) and (110) planes as a function of temperature between 10 K and 300 K using torque magnetometry. The results are compared with a model based on crystal field theory.
3D-Printing Hands that Feel (2021)

Amputation is always a devastating experience. In addition to the loss of function or sensation, the lowered body image leaves deeper emotional impacts on the victims and their loved ones. For various reasons, traumatic injuries and vascular diseases like diabetes [4] are common for particularly upper limb loss. According to the World Health Organization, there are more than 10 million people with hand amputations worldwide, 80% of whom are in developing countries. Unfortunately, only less than 3% have access to affordable prostheses [1-3]. Over the past few decades, there have been major advances in commercial prosthetic hands, enabling control over six degrees of freedom (flexion/extension in all five digits and thumb rotation).

Functionalized Tricyclic Cytosine Analogues Provide Nucleoside Fluorophores with Improved Photophysical Properties and a Range of Solvent Sensitivities (2013)

Tricyclic cytosines (tC and tC(O) frameworks) have emerged as a unique class of fluorescent nucleobase analogues that minimally perturb the structure of B-form DNA and that are not quenched in duplex nucleic acids. Systematic derivatization of these frameworks is a likely approach to improve on and diversify photophysical properties, but has not so far been examined. Synthetic methods were refined to improve on tolerance for electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups, resulting in a series of eight new, fluorescent cytidine analogues. Photophysical studies show that substitution of the framework results in a pattern of effects largely consistent across tC and tC(O) and provides nucleoside fluorophores that are brighter than either parent. Moreover, a range of solvent sensitivities is observed, offering promise that this family of probes can be extended to new applications that require reporting on the local environment.
Crystal structure of the zymogen form of the group A <i>Streptococcus</i> virulence factor SpeB: An integrin-binding cysteine protease (2000)

Pathogenic bacteria secrete protein toxins that weaken or disable their host, and thereby act as virulence factors. We have determined the crystal structure of streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin B (SpeB), a cysteine protease that is a major virulence factor of the human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes and participates in invasive disease episodes, including necrotizing fasciitis. The structure, determined for the 40-kDa precursor form of SpeB at 1.6-A resolution, reveals that the protein is a distant homologue of the papain superfamily that includes the mammalian cathepsins B, K, L, and S. Despite negligible sequence identity, the protease portion has the canonical papain fold, albeit with major loop insertions and deletions. The catalytic site differs from most other cysteine proteases in that it lacks the Asn residue of the Cys-His-Asn triad. The prosegment has a unique fold and inactivation mechanism that involves displacement of the catalytically essential His residue by a loop inserted into the active site. The structure also reveals the surface location of an integrin-binding Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif that is a feature unique to SpeB among cysteine proteases and is linked to the pathogenesis of the most invasive strains of S. pyogenes.
