WeChat‐assisted pre‐operative health education improves the quality of life of parents of children with ventricular septal defects: A prospective randomised controlled study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Aim This study aimed to explore the effect of implementing pre‐operative WeChat‐assisted health education for parents of children with restrictive ventricular septal defects to improve their quality of life. Methods A prospective randomised controlled study was conducted in a provincial hospital in China. Participants were randomly divided into the intervention group (WeChat group, n = 35) and the control group (leaflet group, n = 35). The quality of life of parents of children with restricted ventricular septal defects was studied. Results Compared with the leaflet group, the WeChat group had a significantly lower score for the pre‐operative Self‐Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) ( P < 0.05). The pre‐operative SAS score in the WeChat group was significantly lower than that at the first visit ( P < 0.05). However, the SAS score in the leaflet group was similar at the time of preoperation and the first visit ( P > 0.05). The pre‐operative scores of the World Health Organization Quality of Life‐BREF (WHOQOL‐BREF) scale in the physiological, psychological, social, and environmental fields and the total life quality score in the WeChat group were significantly higher than those of the leaflet group ( P < 0.05). Conclusion Implementing pre‐operative WeChat‐assisted health education for parents of children with restrictive ventricular septal defects can effectively relieve their anxiety and improve their quality of life.
Closure to "Debris-Blocking Sensitivity of Piano Key Weirs under Reservoir-Type

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The writers were pleased to read the overview of some work pub-lished so far on piano key weirs (PKWs) and labyrinth weirs aspresented by the discusser. Besides the publications mentioned bythe discusser, two recent workshop proceedings give a comprehen-sivesummary on the current state of the art on PKWs and labyrinthweirs (Erpicum et al. 2011, 2013).Regarding the discussed paper on the effect of driftwood onthe discharge efficiency of PKWs (Pfister et al. 2013a), some addi-tional insights can be added that have been gained in the meantimeas a result of further model investigations and prototype observa-tions, as well as discussions with dam operators using PKWs ontheir spillways.Remarks on the Sensitivity of PKWs RegardingDebrisPKWs are probably less sensitive to the effect of driftwood on thedischarge capacity than classical weir types, as for instance ogees.However, there is presently a lack of explicit observations allowingfor a direct comparison. Nevertheless, the following facts supportthis assumption:1.

[Molecular physiology of receptor mediated endocytosis and its role in overcoming multidrug resistance].

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Receptor-mediated endocytosis plays important role in the selective uptake of proteins at the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells. Endocytosis regulates many processes of cell signalling by controlling the number of functional receptors on the cell surface. The article reviews the mechanism of clathrin-dependent endocytosis and the possibility of using this phenomenon for the targeted delivery of drugs. Use of certain proteins as targeting component of drug delivery systems can significantly improve the selectivity of this drug, as well as to overcome the multidrug resistance of cells resulting from the activity of the ABC-transporters.
Internationalization and Corporate Success - Empirical Evidence from the European Dairy Sector

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Increasingly, cooperatives in the agribusiness are being confronted with the globalization of agri-food markets. Cooperatives adapt to this development by internationalizing their activities. This paper presents a method of measuring the degree of internationalization (DoI) and its application to European cooperatives in the dairy sector. Then, the financial performance of these cooperatives is measured by applying balance sheet analysis. The paper ends with a discussion of why German cooperatives are noticeably less internationalized and show weaker financial performance than their European competitors.
SH1688732.08FU

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.

γ‐Glutamyl kinase is involved in selective autophagy of ribosomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

γ‐Glutamyl kinase ( GK ; the PRO 1 gene product) is a key enzyme in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae proline biosynthesis pathway. Δpro1 cells are more sensitive to various stresses than wild‐type cells, suggesting that GK has an alternative function independent of proline biosynthesis. We show that PRO 1 genetically interacts with UBP 3 , which encodes ubiquitin‐specific protease, and is required for selective autophagy of ribosomes (ribophagy). Interestingly, yeast cells with PRO 1 deletion or expressing inactive GK display a defect for ribophagy but not for nonselective autophagy, indicating that GK activity is indispensable for ribophagy. Gene disruption analysis suggests that ribophagy is important for cell survival during nitrogen starvation.
Press Agents of Change: Early Hollywood and the "New Publicity"

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article is concerned with changes in the field of publicity in the American film industry during the period immediately following the transitional era, roughly 1918–1924. Informed by shifting notions of taste and the increasing tendency toward "efficiency" in the structuring of corporate studio behavior, this period saw an attempt by Hollywood press agents to rearticulate the parameters of their profession and of the wider field of publicity. The career of Ted Taylor is considered both representative of the professional experiences of Hollywood publicists during this era and, at times, as a counterpoint to the dominant narrative of this "new publicity."
Improving the efficiency of exponential ratio-type estimator for population median: A calibration weight adjustment approach

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

This paper modifies the Bahl and Tuteja exponential ratio-type estimator for population median under simple random and stratified sampling schemes using calibration weight adjustment technique with supplementary information to vary the stratum weights. The bias and mean square error of the modified estimator were obtained up to the second-order approximation, which satisfies the necessary conditions for efficiency. The findings show that the new estimator surpasses existing estimators in efficiency gain. This suggests the appropriateness of calibration weight modification in boosting the efficiency of a population parameter estimator under stratified random sampling especially where the population parameter of the auxiliary variable is known and correlate with the variable of interest.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Findings in Aseptic Versus Bacterial Meningitis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background. Aseptic meningitis is often reported to be characterized by a mononuclear cell predominance in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), whereas bacterial meningitis is characterized by a polymorphonuclear (PMN) cell predominance. In contrast, other studies suggest that PMNs can be the most prevalent cell in early aseptic meningitis followed by a shift to mononuclear cells within 24 hours. These contradictory reports may lead to uncertainty in the diagnosis and treatment of meningitis. Objectives. To assess 1) the characteristics of the CSF differential in aseptic versus bacterial meningitis, 2) the influence of duration of illness on the CSF differential, and 3) the role of the CSF differential in discriminating between aseptic versus bacterial meningitis. Methods. A retrospective chart review was conducted of all cases of meningitis in children &gt;30 days of age hospitalized during the peak months for enteroviral meningitis (April to October) between 1992 to 1997. Cases of aseptic meningitis were defined as having at least 20 white blood cells/mm3 and the absence of bacterial growth on culture. Patients were excluded if they received antibiotic therapy within the previous 5 days. Cases of bacterial meningitis were defined as having a positive culture of the CSF or the presence of a CSF pleocytosis with positive cultures of the blood. CSF variables including white blood cell differential and time from the onset of symptoms to the performance of a lumbar puncture were analyzed. PMNs were considered to be predominant when the percentage of neutrophils added to juvenile forms was &gt;50% of cells. Results. One hundred fifty-eight cases of meningitis were reviewed: 138 were aseptic and 20 were bacterial. The patients ranged in age from 30 days to 18 years; 61% were male. Fifty-seven percent of cases of aseptic meningitis had a PMN predominance. The percentage of PMNs in the CSF in patients with aseptic meningitis was not statistically different for patients who had a lumbar puncture performed either within or beyond 24 hours of the onset of symptoms. Fifty-one percent of the 53 patients with aseptic meningitis and duration of illness &gt;24 hours had a PMN predominance. The ability of a PMN predominance to differentiate between aseptic and bacterial meningitis was assessed. The sensitivity of a PMN predominance for aseptic meningitis is 57% whereas the specificity is 10%. The positive predictive value of a PMN predominance for aseptic disease is 81% but the negative predictive value is 3%. Alternative definitions of PMN predominance from 60% to 90% were not useful as a clinical indicator of bacterial disease. Conclusions. The majority of children with aseptic meningitis have a PMN predominance in the CSF. The PMN predominance is not limited to the first 24 hours of illness. Because the majority of children with a PMN predominance during enteroviral season will have aseptic disease, a PMN predominance as a sole criterion does not discriminate between aseptic and bacterial meningitis.

Effects of different N,P and K treatments on yield,nutrient accumulation and utilization and economic benefit of cassava

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In 2010 and 2011,using cassava cultivar,SC205,as material and the 3414 experimental design,an experiment was carried out to study the effects of different application amounts of nitrogen,phosphorus and potassium on cassava yield,nutrient accumulation and utilization and economic benefit.And through multiple regressions,the equation of the fertilizer efficiency for upland red soils in Jiangxi province was established.The results show that the yields of the fertilization treatments are significantly higher than those of the treatments without fertilization,the yield of the nitrogen deficiency treatment is significantly lower than those of the phosphorus and potassium deficiency treatments,and the effects on the yield is NK2OP2O5.Cassava yield,fresh root starch content,fresh biomass,nutrient harvest index and economic benefit of the N2P2K2 treatment are the highest among the fertilization treatments.The output-input ratio of the N2P2K0 treatment is the highest,the ratio of the N1P2K1 treatment is secondly and the ratio of the N2P2K3 treatment is the smallest.The order of plant total nutrient accumulation is K2ONP2O5.The average nutrients(potassium,nitrogen and phosphorus) requirements for 100 kg fresh root are 1.00,0.91 and 0.11 kg,and the average harvest indexes are 0.53,0.33 and 0.46,respectively.The correlation analysis shows that the cassava yield has an extremely significantly positive correlation with nitrogen application amount and a significantly positive correlation with the potassium application amount,while the yield has an insignificantly correlation with phosphorus application amount.Under the condition of this experiment,the fitting results of the developed quadratic equations in three variables show that the application amounts of nitrogen,phosphorus and potassium and the ratio of output to input for the economic optimum yield are 205.37 kg/ha,65.43 kg/ha,311.30 kg/ha and 6.23,respectively.

Prevalence of malocclusion in public school students in the mixed dentition phase and its association with early loss of deciduous teeth

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the prevalence of malocclusion and its association with the early loss of deciduous teeth and other factors in children in the mixed dentition phase, aged six to eight years, enrolled in public schools in southern Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a representative sample of 528 children from municipal public schools in 2009. Data collection involved a clinical examination for the determination of early tooth loss, dental caries, tongue pressure and malocclusion (outcome), as well as the administration of a questionnaire. Poisson regression analysis with robust variance was used to model the association between malocclusion and the independent variables. Results: The prevalence of malocclusion and early tooth loss was 69.1% and 21.8%, respectively. In the raw data analysis, malocclusion was associated with age, early tooth loss, dental caries and tongue pressure. After the adjustment, the likelihood of malocclusion was greater among children older than eight years, those who exerted tongue pressure on the teeth and those with early tooth loss. The likelihood of malocclusion was 24% greater among children with early tooth loss, compared to those without tooth loss. Conclusion: The early loss of deciduous teeth was associated with the occurrence of malocclusion in the children studied.
[Self image and defense mechanisms in young drug addicts].

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

By our psychological treatment of young drug addicts we composed the results of the personal interviews, a self-report inventory (Freiburger Persönlichkeits-Inventar), the observation of behavior, and the Rorschach-Technique. We found that the investigated individuals showed in their self concept parts of a prejudice concerning drug consumers. This prejudice is an important part of the frame of reference determining the behavior of the young people. Investigating the defense-mechanisms and the strategies of personal existence we found clear differences between the groups of hallucinogene abusers and opiate addicts. In both groups there are different reaction types for avoiding and working up internal and external stress.
Eurycomanone induce apoptosis in HepG2 cells via up-regulation of p53

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Eurycomanone is a cytotoxic compound found in Eurycoma longifolia Jack. Previous studies had noted the cytotoxic effect against various cancer cell lines. The aim of this study is to investigate the cytotoxicity against human hepato carcinoma cell in vitro and the mode of action. The cytotoxicity of eurycomanone was evaluated using MTT assay and the mode of cell death was detected by Hoechst 33258 nuclear staining and flow cytometry with Annexin-V/propidium iodide double staining. The protein expression Bax, Bcl-2, p53 and cytochrome C were studied by flow cytometry using a spesific antibody conjugated fluorescent dye to confirm the up-regulation of p53 and Bax in cancer cells. The findings suggested that eurycomanone was cytotoxic on cancerous liver cell, HepG2 and less toxic on normal cells Chang's liver and WLR-68. Furthermore, various methods proved that apoptosis was the mode of death in eurycomanone-treated HepG2 cells. The characteristics of apoptosis including chromatin condensation, DNA fragmentation and apoptotic bodies were found following eurycomanone treatment. This study also found that apoptotic process triggered by eurycomanone involved the up-regulation of p53 tumor suppressor protein. The up-regulation of p53 was followed by the increasing of pro-apoptotic Bax and decreasing of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2. The increased of cytochrome C levels in cytosol also results in induction of apoptosis. The data suggest that eurycomanone was cytotoxic on HepG2 cells by inducing apoptosis through the up-regulation of p53 and Bax, and down-regulation of Bcl-2.
Biomechanical study of a semi-rigid stabilization system combined with transpedicular intracorporeal bone grafting for thoracolumbar burst fractures

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background: For fresh thoracolumbar burst fracture, a new method which can not only promote the fracture healing, but also retain the movement segment, and restore the spinal movement function to the maximum extent is needed. The purpose of this study is to determine the performance of stabilization of a semi-rigid stabilization system combined with transpedicular intracorporeal bone grafting for thoracolumbar burst fractures. Methods Six thoracolumbar cadaver spines were used for testing. A controlled L2 burst fracture was created. The L1-3 motions were determined. Results In extension, flexion and lateral bending, the semi-rigid fixator stabilized the segment to a range of motion(ROM) and neutral zone(NZ) below the magnitude of the intact spine, but showed increased ROM and NZ of axial rotation (P < 0.05) compared with the intact spine. Conclusions Restoration of stability with the semi-rigid dynamic system combined with transpedicular intracorporeal bone grafting is possible in flexion, extension, right and left lateral bending for thoracolumbar burst fracture but for axial rotation.
