China's Courtship with the so Called Rogue States and US Concerns

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

China's relations with the rogue states like Iran, North Korea and Syria pose some serious threats to the primacy of US in the world. Although US is the sole super power of the world but China's response to the global unipolarity projects China's non acceptance of the supremacy of US in the world. The economic and strategic nature of Chinese engagements in these "Rogue states" has engendered many uncertainties in the Washington. The US tried to pressurise China to quit her relations with the "Rogues states" but China did not listen to the US. This paper analyses the causes of China's love affairs with rogue states and to explore the major concerns of US in the courtship of China with the "Rogue states".
Cousin Cases of Kawasaki Disease Suggesting Person-to-Person Transmission

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

To the Editor.— Kawasaki disease is a disease of unknown etiology affecting infants and young children. Its epidemiology as observed in Japan and in many other countries suggests that the etiology is infectious.1 We wish to report two cases of Kawasaki disease in first cousins that strongly suggest person-to-person transmission. The first patient was a Japanese boy, aged 3 years and 8 months, living in Tokyo. He had been in excellent health until February 17, 1989 when he had a sudden fever which continued for 6 days.
[Inside the French reform of nursing education: a survey of faculty members].

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Changing societal health care needs has led the Ministry of Health to rethink the paramedical courses. European harmonization was needed to set up this training with the LMD system within a university scheme. Based on this new paradigm, an educational reform consisting of a competency-based approach was implemented, leading to major modifications in the function of a trainer. Consequently, training institutes for health care managers had to adapt their program to this new learning concept. The main objective of this study was to identify the needs of trainers in charge of this new graduate nurse program. The secondary objective was to collect their perceptions in order to recognize the positive or negative factors related to these changes. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 276 trainers belonging to 16 out of the 17 nursing schools of the Rhone-Alpes 2 region. One hundred and five trainers responded, corresponding to a rate of 38%. The majority of the respondents considered the new program as suitable, both for training and for profession. The skills approach is seen as a factor for improvement. The learnings to be developed are in line with reflective practice and the conception of symbolic situations. The study has allowed to gather the needs for the trainers to adapt their training. It highlighted the importance of a referent trainer for the trainee, a major and precious lever for change.
A Solvent Free Synthetic Route for Cerium(IV) Metal-Organic Frame-works with UiO-66 Architecture and Their Photocatalytic Application

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

A novel solvent-free synthesis for Ce-UiO-66 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is presented. The MOFs are obtained by simply grinding the reagents, cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN) and the carboxylic linkers, in a mortar for few minutes with the addition of a small amount of acetic acid (AcOH) as modulator (1.75 eq, o.1 ml). The slurry is then transferred into a 1 ml vial and heated at 120°C for 1 day. The MOFs have been characterized for their composition, crystallinity and porosity and employed as heterogenous catalysts for the photo-oxidation reaction of substituted benzylic alcohols to benzaldaldehydes under near ultraviolet light irradiation. The catalytic performances, such as yield, conversion and kinetics, exceed those of similar systems studied by chemical oxidation and using Ce-MOF as catalyst. Moreover, the MOFs were found to be reusable up to three cycles without loss of activity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations gave an estimation of the band-gap shift due to the different nature of the linkers used and provide useful information on the catalytic activity experimentally observed.
Pediatric Trauma Readiness: A Trauma-Specific Assessment to Complement the National Pediatric Readiness Project.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

This survey identified gaps in the readiness of emergency departments to treat injured children in our state that were not detected by the 2013 PedsReady surveys. Future surveys of emergency department pediatric readiness should consider more detailed, trauma-specific readiness questions. This will allow for assignment of more accurate goals and benchmarking standards for national pediatric trauma readiness.
Fractional Order Controller Based Fuzzy Control Algorithm For Switched Reluctance Motor

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The doubly salient mechanical structure and switching characteristics of switched reluctance motor (SRM) led to torque ripple, low dynamic performance and other problems when using conventional control algorithm in speed control method. In view of the fractional PID control algorithm has strong robustness and advantage of fuzzy control, and it does not depend on the precise mathematical model, the paper proposed a control algorithm based on fuzzy fractional order PID torque control algorithm. On the basis of fuzzy rules, using this control algorithm to adaptive SRM torque control, and using speed deviation and deviation changing rate as its input, the SRM turn torque ripple is smaller by changing proportional coefficient, integral order and differential order of the fuzzy inference adaptive fractional order PID controller. The simulation results indicate that the control algorithm is feasible, torque ripple of switched reluctance motor is smaller, dynamic response is better
Inventory and review of the Mio–Pleistocene São Jorge flora (Madeira Island, Portugal): palaeoecological and biogeographical implications

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The occurrence of plant fossils on Madeira Island has been known since the mid-nineteenth century. Charles Lyell and George Hartung discovered a leaf bed rich in Lauraceae and fern fossils at São Jorge in 1854. The determinations were controversial but a full review was never performed. Here we propose possible geological settings for the fossiliferous outcrop, and present an inventory and a systematic review of the surviving specimens of the São Jorge macroflora. The São Jorge leaf bed no longer outcrops due to a landslide in 1865. It was possible to establish the two alternative volcano-stratigraphical settings in the sedimentary intercalations from the Middle Volcanic Complex, ranging in age from 7 to 1.8 Ma. The descriptions of Heer (1857 Heer, O. 1857. Ueber die fossilen Pflanzen von St. Jorge in Madeira. Neue Denkschriften der allgemeinen Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für die gesamten Naturwissenschaften, 15, 1–40. [Google Scholar]), Bunbury (1859 Bunbury, C. J. F. 1859. On some Vegetable Remains from Madeira. Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society, 15, 50–59.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) and Hartung & Mayer (1864 Hartung, G. & Mayer, K. 1864. Geologische Beschreibung der Inseln Madeira und Porto Santo. Mit dem systematischen Verzeichnisse der fossilen Reste dieser Inseln und der Azoren von Karl Mayer. Engelmann, Leipzig, 364 pp. [Google Scholar]) are reviewed based on 82 surviving specimens. From the initial 37 taxa, we recognize only 20: Osmunda sp., Pteridium aquilinum, Asplenium cf. onopteris, aff. Asplenium, cf. Polystichum, cf. Davallia, Woodwardia radicans, Filicopsida gen. et sp. indet. 1 and 2, Ocotea foetens, Salix sp., Erica arborea, cf. Vaccinium, Rubus sp, cf. Myrtus, Magnoliopsida gen. et sp. indet. 1 to 3, Liliopsida gen. et sp. indet. 1. Magnoliopsida gen. et sp. indet. 4 is based on one previously undescribed flower or fruit. The floristic composition of the São Jorge fossils resembles the current floristic association of temperate stink laurel (Ocotea foetens) forest, suggesting a warm and humid palaeoclimate and indicating that laurel forests were present in Macaronesia at least since the Gelasian, a time when the palaeotropical geofloral elements were almost extinct in Europe.
Determination of serum ferritin by a one-step immunoenzymoassay, and comparison of four liver-ferritin standards.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract We describe a one step "sandwich"-type immunoenzymoassay for ferritin in human serum. The solid-phase consists of glutaraldehyde-treated polypropylene tubes coated with rabbit antibody to human ferritin. Liver ferritin is the standard. Peroxidase-conjugated antiserum to ferritin and a sensitive chromogen, o-phenylenediamine, are used. The assay requires 90 min. The standard curve is linear up to 400 micrograms of ferritin per liter of serum. Within- and between-run CVs are less than 6% for low, high, and medium concentrations and are about 13.0% at the decision level for iron deficiency. Results by a two-step "sandwich" procedure (New England Immunology Associates kit) correlated well, r = 0.98. We assessed four liver ferritin standards from different manufacturers with the described method. The mean absorbance for the 40 micrograms/L ferritin standard was 1.5 for that from Diagnostics Biochem and National Institute for Biological Standards and Controls, 1.0 for that from Dako, and 0.4 for that from Sigma. Consequently, to standardize results, all liver ferritin standards should be calibrated vs the National Institute for Biological Standards and Controls reference standard.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Li Zhang,1,2,* Tong Ji,1,2,* Fei Sun,2 Yun Li,1 Zhe Tang,1,2 Lina Ma1,2 1Department of Geriatrics, Xuanwu Hospital Capital Medical University, National Clinical Research Center for Geriatric Diseases, Beijing, 100053, People’s Republic of China; 2Beijing Geriatric Healthcare Center, Xuanwu Hospital Capital Medical University, Beijing, 100053, People’s Republic of China*These authors contributed equally to this workCorrespondence: Lina Ma; Zhe Tang Email malina0883@126.com; tangzhe@sina.comObjective: The comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is an integral tool used to identify vulnerable older adults in need of individualized plans to delay the course of diseases and monitor treatment outcomes. We previously developed and validated a 68-item frailty index (FI) based on the CGA in a large, older, Chinese population. However, substantial time is needed to evaluate the 68 items. Therefore, we aimed to develop and validate a simplified FI for use in Chinese older population.Design: Longitudinal study.Setting and Participants: Data were drawn from the Beijing Longitudinal Study of Aging. The study was conducted in 2004 with 1808 participants evaluated using the CGA and was followed-up for 13 years. Mortality was recorded at 3, 5, 8, 10, and 13 years intervals.Measures: 27-Item, 50-item, and 68-item frailty indices were investigated. A Cox proportional hazards model and area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC) were calculated to compare mortality predictions.Results: The FI was positively correlated with age in males (r = 0.174, P < 0.001) and females (r = 0.270, P < 0.001). The mean baseline FI was 0.225 ± 0.085 (range: 0.04– 0.56) as evaluated by the 27-item FI, 0.181 ± 0.117 (range: 0.02– 0.62) by the 50-item FI, and 0.167 ± 0.101 (range: 0.02– 0.59) by the 68-item FI. Cox regression models showed that mortality was significantly higher in frail people than in non-frail people for all 3 indices (p< 0.001). The AUCs of the 68-item FI, 50-item FI, and 27-item FI for predicting mortality were 0.720, 0.717, and 0.677, respectively (p< 0.001).Conclusion: The 27-item FI is reasonable to expect that the AUC of the indices with the higher items number is inferior to the performance of the indices with higher number of items (FI50 and FI68). But 27-item maybe used as a tool to identify frail older adults and predict mortality in clinical and primary care practices in China.Keywords: frailty index, older adults, comprehensive geriatric assessment, mortality

Objective:To silence the expression of HS1-associated protein X-1(HAX-1) gene in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells using RNA interference technique and to investigate the effect of the HAX-1 on cell apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide(H2O2).Methods:The HAX-1 small interfering RNA(siRNA) fragment was cloned into plasmid pSR-GFP /Neo,and the resulting plasmid was transfected into MCF-7 cells.The cell plaques which were selected out with G418 were subjected to Western blot to identify HAX-1 protein level.The selected cell strains and wild type MCF-7 were treated for 8 h with H2O2,and the apoptosis rate were measured by FACS.Results:Electrophoresis and DNA sequencing confirmed that the correct HAX-1 specific siRNA sequence was cloned into the expression vector pSR-GFP /Neo.The selected MCF-7 /HAX-1 siRNA cell strain under G418 showed the HAX-1 protein level was knocked down 95%,and their apoptosis rate increased significantly under 1 mmol /L H2O2 treatment.Conclusion:HAX-1 can protect the MCF-7 cells form apoptosis induced by H2O2.
A group psychotherapy model for acute treatment settings.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Traditional models of group psychotherapy have become less applicable in inpatient and partial hospital programs as the lengths of stay in these programs have decreased. Shorter lengths of stay are associated with rapid changes in group membership and high levels of symptoms among group members. The clinical objectives and clinical techniques suggested by traditional group models are simply less relevant under these conditions. In this paper the authors outline a model of group psychotherapy designed to meet the needs of acutely ill patients and accommodate to the demands of the short-term acute-care setting. Drawing on previous research that has identified the therapeutic factors that operate in these groups, the authors offer specific recommendations regarding group structure, therapist role, and clinical technique.
Effect of ammonia on the glutamate dehydrogenase catalyzed oxidative deamination of L-glutamate: production of an ammonia-containing intermediate in the "burst" phase

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

We have studied the effects of ammonium acetate on the transient "burst" phase of the oxidation of L-glutamate by glutamate dehydrogenase. Two measurable changes are observed in the "burst" phase as ammonium acetate concentration is increased: (i) an increase in the apparent first-order rate constant, kapp, and (ii) a decrease in the amplitude of the absorbance change measured at 320 nm. The increase in kapp shows a hyperbolic dependence on ammonium acetate concentration and is independent of glutamate concentration. The results demonstrate the existence of an intermediate immediately following hydrogen transfer. The intermediate contains enzyme, reduced coenzyme, ammonia, and alpha-ketoglutarate moieties and is in equilibrium with the known complex consisting of enzyme, reduced coenzyme, and alpha-ketoglutarate. At high concentrations of ammonium acetate, the equilibrium favors the ammonia containing complex.
Data from Ganetespib in Combination with Pemetrexed–Platinum Chemotherapy in Patients with Pleural Mesothelioma (MESO-02): A Phase Ib Trial

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

<div>AbstractPurpose:<p>Ganetespib, a highly potent, small-molecule Heatshock protein 90 inhibitor, has potential efficacy in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) via activity on critical survival pathways and known synergies with antifolates and platinum chemotherapy. We conducted a dose-escalation study to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ganetespib in patients with chemotherapy-naïve MPM.</p>Patients and Methods:<p>MESO-02 (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01590160) was a nonrandomized, multicenter, phase Ib trial of 3-weekly ganetespib (100 mg/m<sup>2</sup>, 150 mg/m<sup>2</sup>, 200 mg/m<sup>2</sup>; days 1 and 15) with pemetrexed (500 mg/m<sup>2</sup>; day 1) and cisplatin (75 mg/m<sup>2</sup>; day 1) or carboplatin (area under concentration–time curve 5; day 1) in patients with MPM. Dose escalation was performed using the 3 + 3 design (cisplatin) and accelerated titration design (carboplatin). Secondary endpoints included best response, progression-free survival (PFS), and pharmacogenomic analyses.</p>Results:<p>Of 27 patients enrolled (cisplatin, <i>n</i> = 16; carboplatin, <i>n</i> = 11), 3 experienced dose-limiting toxicities: grade 3 nausea (cisplatin, <i>n</i> = 1; carboplatin, <i>n</i> = 1) and grade 2 infusion-related reaction (carboplatin, <i>n</i> = 1). Ganetespib's MTD was 200 mg/m<sup>2</sup>. Partial response was observed in 14 of 27 patients (52%; 61% in 23 response-evaluable patients) and 13 of 21 (62%) with epithelioid histology. At the MTD, 10 of 18 patients (56%) had partial response, 15 of 18 (83%) had disease control, and median PFS was 6.3 months (95% CI, 5.0–10.0). One responder exhibited disease control beyond 50 months. Global loss of heterozygosity was associated with shorter time to progression (HR 1.12; 95% CI, 1.02–1.24; <i>P</i> = 0.018).</p>Conclusions:<p>Ganetespib can be combined safely with pemetrexed and platinum chemotherapy to treat patients with MPM. This class of agent should be investigated in larger randomized studies.</p></div>
Lentiviral short hairpin RNA screen of human kinases and phosphatases to identify potential biomarkers in oral squamous cancer cells

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Oral carcinoma is a serious public health problem and the leading cause of head and neck cancer mortality worldwide. Moreover, oral cancer patients often present symptoms at a late stage and show a high recurrence rate after treatment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify novel biomarkers for early diagnosis or clinical oral cancer therapy. In this study, we employed a subset of lentiviral short hairpin RNAs targeted against various kinases and phosphatases, designed by The RNAi Consortium, to screen systemically and in a high-throughput manner for potential growth regulators of oral cancer cells. The screen revealed a total of 50 candidate genes, for which more than 90% of growth inhibition in human oral squamous cancer HSC-3 cells was obtained. Furthermore, bioinformatic analysis of these candidate genes identified transforming growth factor-β receptor type II- and fms-related tyrosine kinase 3-related molecular pathways that are involved in NF-κB-mediated growth of HSC-3 cells. These candidate genes may be potential biomarkers for early diagnosis of oral cancer. In addition, these candidate genes represent potential targets for anticancer drug design helping to develop a personalized treatment to combat oral cancer.

Some calculations of intrinsic viscosity and molecular weight distribution for trifunctional, randomly branched polymers

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Computations have been performed of the intrinsic viscosity of trifunctional, randomly branched whole polymers. Both the Thurmond‐Zimm and the Zimm‐Kilb treatments of the viscosity of branched polymers have been combined with the Beasley molecular weight distribution function. The Beasley distribution function has also been compared with a function derived by Flory for trifunctionally branched condensation polymers. The two functions are in good agreement at low extents of branching, but at higher branch contents the former function extends to significantly higher molecular weights.
