Local Administration of Autologous Synovium-Derived Cells Improve the Structural Properties of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Autograft Reconstruction in Sheep

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: The structural properties of a tendon autograft deteriorate during the remodeling phase after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Hypothesis: A local application of autologous synovium-derived cells cultured in medium supplemented with transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) may inhibit the deterioration of structural properties of the tendon graft after ACL reconstruction. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Fifty-two mature sheep were used. In each animal, the right knee underwent ACL reconstruction using the semitendinosus tendon autograft; then, the animals were divided into 5 groups of 10. No additional treatments were applied in group 1, whereas fibrin sealant was applied around the graft in group 2. In group 3, autologous synovium-derived cells cultured in standard medium were applied around the graft with fibrin sealant, whereas autologous synovium-derived cells cultured in TGFβ-supplemented medium were applied with fibrin sealant in group 4. In group 5, fibrin sealant containing 20 ng of TGFβ was applied around the graft. Each animal was sacrificed at 12 weeks after the surgery. In each group, 7 and 3 sheep were used for biomechanical and histologic evaluations, respectively. The remaining 2 sheep were used to confirm whether the applied cells infiltrated the graft at 1 week after surgery. Results: Confocal microscope observations showed that the applied cells that were labeled before implantation infiltrated into the superficial portion of the graft at 1 week. Biomechanically, the maximum load and the stiffness of groups 4 and 5 were significantly greater than those of groups 1, 2, and 3. Histologically, necrotic lesions were observed in the core portion of the midsubstance in groups 1 and 2. In groups 3, 4, and 5, no necrotic lesions were found in the midsubstance. Conclusion: A local application of autologous synovium-derived cells cultured in TGFβ-supplemented medium or a fibrin sealant containing TGFβ significantly inhibits the natural deterioration of the structural properties of the tendon graft after ACL reconstruction. Clinical Relevance: Administration of autologous synovium-derived cells cultured in TGFβ-supplemented medium or TGFβ and fibrin glue alone can be a potential cell-based therapy to prevent graft deterioration after transplantation or accelerate mechanical restoration of the deteriorated graft.
Position sensorless control of switched reluctance motor based on a linear inductance model with variable coefficients

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

To solve the problem of inaccurate position estimation due to the influence of magnetic saturation in sensorless control of switched reluctance motor (SRM), a new position estimation method is proposed. By analysing the linearity of the inductance curve, the region with better linearity can be found. Then, in this region, the mathematical model between rotor position and inductance can be built to estimate the rotor position by the linear fitting. However, the inductance curve will shift due to the influence of magnetic saturation in the case of heavy load, which makes the estimation error larger. Therefore, this study carries out a linear fitting of this region under different loads and establishes a linear inductance model with variable coefficient. This method can effectively eliminate the influence of saturation inductance on position estimation and have better estimation accuracy. Simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed method.
Ventricular Fibrillation Induced with Programmed Stimulation: Clinical Substrate and Prognosis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The implications of ventricular fibrillation induced during elect rophysiologic testing are unclear. To determine the profile of patients in whom this arrhythmia occurs and to determine whether it has any prognostic value, follow‐up data were obtained on all patients in whom this arrhythmia was in duced in our laboratory during a ventricular stimulation protocol over an 18‐month period. Of 836 patients tested, 29 (27 men and 2 women) had inducible ventricular fibrillation. Most (52%) had coronary disease and 12 (41%) had suffered a prior myocardial infarction. All but 3 had some form of heart disease. Sixteen (55%) had abnormal left ventricular function. Eleven (38%) presented with spontaneous sustained ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Eight others had a history of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia.Follow‐up was obtained for a mean of 12 months. In spite of therapy, 2 patients died an arrhythmic death, 1 was resuscitated from ventricular fibrillation, 1 had spontaneous sustained ventricular tachycardia, 4 had inducible sustained ventricular tachycardia, 2 continued to have inducible ventricular fibrillation at second study, and 1 had recurrent syncope. Five patients had ventricular fibrillation induced on multiple occasions. Ventricular fibrillation induced during electraphysiologic study was found primarily in patients with structural heart disease and appeared reasonably reproducible. When reproducible, ventricular fibrillation appears to indicate a poor prognosis rather than an aspecific finding. The clinical profile of our poor prognosis group includes a history of prior ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation and the presence of coronary artery disease.
Characterization of multifunctional thin films and electronic devices

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

In recent years there is an increasing interest in a new class of materials, in which both electrical and magnetic ordering can coexist simultaneously [1]. Such so-called magnetoelectric materials are rare in nature, but they have many potential applications including new memory and sensor devices [2]. Multiferroic materials, i.e. a material that possesses more than one ordering (Ferroelectric (FE), Ferromagnetic or Ferroelastic) simultaneously, have been the object of fundamental studies and identified as a potential technological application [3]. In this project, charge amplifier for the multiferronic materials will be built. Charge amplifier is the convenient way to check ferroelectric property of multiferroic materials. The main advantages of charge amplifier are easy to set-up with minimum Laboratory equipments, able to avoid data acquisition devices and with external sensitivity adjust. Charge amplifier is designed starting from circuit level to the printed circuit board (PCB). Schematic and Layout of charge amplifier is drawn using OrCAD design software and charge amplifier printed circuit board (PCB) is fabricated using milling machine. One piezoelectric thin film and two multiferronic materials are used to check the designed charge amplifier’s compatibility and durability. Ferroelectric of each materials are able explained using charge amplifier.

Climate trends and variability at adaptation scale: Patterns and perceptions in an agricultural region of the Ethiopian Highlands

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Analysis of climate variability and trends frequently takes place at large scale. For agricultural applications, however, highly localized climate conditions can be critically important. This certainly applies to tropical highland regions, where dissected topography and convectively dominated precipitation processes can lead to strong variability in both mean climate conditions and year-to-year climate variability. This study examines recent climate variability and trends (1981–2016) on Choke Mountain, located in the western Ethiopian Highlands. Through analysis of precipitation and temperature records at monitored locations, we explore observed variability in climate patterns and trends across sites and seasons. The lens for our spatial analysis is the agroecosystem (AES), defined on the basis of prevailing climate and cropping systems, which currently serve as the foundation for climate adaptation planning in the region. We find that interannual temperature variability is greatest in the hottest, driest AES, and is most pronounced in the dry season. All AES warmed significantly in all seasons over the analysis period, but the magnitude of trend was greatest in high elevation AES. Precipitation variability was also large across AES, with largest interannual variability found in the dry season. This season is frequently excluded in climate analyses, but it is a critical harvest time and irrigation period. Trends in rainfall anomaly and precipitation concentration index are less clear, but there is a tendency towards drying and increasing irregularity of rainfall. Interestingly, we find little association between the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and temperature or precipitation variability at our study sites. This suggests that even though ENSO is a widely recognized driver of large-scale rainfall variability in the region, its impacts are highly spatially variable. This has implications for applying ENSO-based precipitation outlooks to agricultural management decisions. Farmer interviews reveal that local perceptions of climate variability and trends are generally consistent with the objective observations.
Role of CRT upgrading in pacing induced heart failure: A case report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We submit a case report of a 78-year-old male came to our department for systolic heart, failure (EF of 25%). He has clinical history of recurring atrial tachycardia and atrial flutter previously treated in our department unsuccessfully with antiarrhythmic drug therapy. The echocardiographic evidence of left atrial enlargement (left atrium area 40 cm2) and the clinical history of permanent atrial tachycardia has discouraged any attempt of substrate ablation. As it is impossible get rhythm and rate control with drug therapy, the patient was subjected to an “ablate and pace” procedure with implantation of a VVIR mode pacemaker. Also, for the absence of indications (QRS width <120 ms, absence of left bundle branch block, NYHA functional class I), biventricular pacing (cardiac resynchronization therapy), initially was not considered. During this last hospital stay, after pharmacological treatment with intravenous furosemide and ACE inhibitor, on the basis of last electrocardiographic and echocardiographic data, was therefore carried out an upgrading of the pacemaker to CRT-P with significant improvement in symptoms and systolic function (EF55%) just six months after upgrading. This case report shows that in pacemaker dependent patients, with interventricular mechanical delay, the right ventricular apical pacing may results in intolerable adverse effects. For these reasons, in this kind of patients the implantation of a CRT device may be considered as initial measure. It is hoped that future international guidelines can support this indication.
The Schlick Fresnel Approximation

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Reflection and refraction magnitudes are modeled using an approximation of the Fresnel reflectance equations called the Schlick approximation. This chapter presents the Schlick approximation, analyzes its error when compared to the full Fresnel reflectance equations, and motivates its use in ray tracing dielectric (non-conducting) materials. It further discusses the Schlick approximation in the context of metallic surfaces and shows a possible extension for the Schlick approximation to more accurately model reflectance of metals.

An applied model of cultural competence in child protection practice

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This empirical qualitative study explores the application of a model of cultural competence in child protection practice with families from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds in the United Kingdom. Data were collected through audio-recorded and transcribed semi-structured interviews with a sample of 17 social workers and family support workers across two local government children's social care agencies. The interview route explored practitioners’ experiences of professional work with children and families from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds. They were asked to describe good practices in relation to cultural competence around the initial contact, assessment and care planning. Transcripts of these interviews were uploaded to Nvivo12 software and coded in two stages, initially for emergent themes and subsequently in relation to the ASKED model of cultural competence. Data analysis revealed multiple examples of good practice which were analysed employing the five dimensions of the ASKED model, namely, cultural awareness, cultural skill, cultural knowledge, cultural encounter, and cultural desire. By mapping the approaches developed and employed by practitioners onto the five ASKED dimensions, these became discernible and therefore potentially transferable learning for others. The ASKED model of cultural competence is a means of capturing good practice in a systematic and detailed way, making it sharable with other child protection professionals. ASKED is also a framework for moving beyond anti-oppressive theory to practical implementable antioppressive practices with families from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds

Perception of Personal Control and Academic Achievement in Sri Lanka

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Several American studies have reported a correlation between superior academic achievement and internal locus of control. This internality-achievement relationship has been interpreted in light of contemporary changes in American education. In this study, the internality-achievement relationship is examined in the highly traditional educational system of Sri Lanka. Results demonstrated that the American findings generalize to the classroom environment in Sri Lanka. It is suggested that the American results may be unrelated to modern educational changes-that, instead, they are a consequence of an attribution process which may possess cross-cultural generality.
Ecological approach to management of open drains

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Most natural streams were made into drains when they were converted into recipients of subsurface tile systems. During the process the variety of biotic and abiotic conditions within and around the streams was totally destroyed, and the new watercourses (open drain recipients) were deprived of the greater part of the ecological importance that the former streams had possessed in the landscape. The data collected over the last decade in Lithuania about drain bed deformations, sediment accumulation, vegetation cover successions, intentional afforestation of slopes, beaver expansion and succeeding water quality changes, revealed some self‐perpetuating natural alterations which raise the ecological significance of open drains as refuges and corridors in the landscape for vegetation (the succession of herbage and appearance of woody vegetation on slopes), and the barriers protecting surface runoff from diffuse agricultural pollution (beaver impoundments). On the other hand, these alterations are useful in terms of maintenance of the functioning of those drains as recipients because they result in steadier (roughly parabola‐shaped) cross‐section profiles, less threat of bed silting up and no need for the mowing of slopes (because of the growth of woody vegetation). This paper presents and discusses the study results highlighting the above‐mentioned bidirectional effect of self‐renaturalization, and considers the preconditions and possible methods of introduction for the ecologically acceptable management of open drains.

[Radiological diagnosis of non-neoplastic bowel diseases].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Intestinal non-neoplastic diseases, including inflammation, bleeding and trauma, are common and frequently-occurring diseases. With the development of diagnosis and the change of disease spectrum, more and more clinical attentions are paid to autoimmune intestinal colitis, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, ischemic bowel disease, intestinal polyps and other non-neoplastic diseases. Radiological modalities and characteristics of non-neoplastic bowel diseases are summarized and evaluated in this article. We hope to provide useful information for clinicians to select radiologic methods correctly.
