Evaluation of proteinase and phospholipase activity of Candida albicans strains isolated from the mouth of patients with controlled and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus in Qazvin province: Short Communication

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Pathophysiological changes in the mouth of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) predispose to overgrowth of Candida albicans. Various virulence factors such as proteinase and phospholipase production are involved in the process of degradation of the host cell membrane. These enzymes are involved in binding Candida species, especially in the hyphae stage, to the target tissue. In this study, the proteinase and phospholipase activity of 51 C. albicans strains was evaluated. Overall, the rates of proteolytic and phospholipase activities in controlled and uncontrolled diabetic patients were 90.2% and 72.5%, respectively. No significant difference was observed between proteinase and phospholipase activities in both groups of patients (P>0.05), while there was a significant difference between the activity of hydrolytic enzymes with HbA1C and dentures in the uncontrolled diabetic group (P<0.05). According to the importance of hydrolytic enzymes activity of C. albicans species in diabetic patients, oral health of diabetic patients to control and prevent disease progression in these patients is essential.
Selective evaluation of clipped nodes: improving axillary evaluation after neoadjuvant therapy in node positive breast cancer patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: For patients with a breast cancer tumour that are positive for node metastases, the ALND is the recommended and standard therapeutic axillar procedure. In the most aggressive tumour types, neoadjuvant therapy has showed high rates of pCR, appearing both in the primary tumour and in the axillar node metastases. Many trials have studied the possibility to avoid an unnecessary ALND if the axillar status has turned into a negative status after the NACT. The studies propose performing a SLNB after the NACT. However, the FNR associated to this SLNB are considered too high to be an accepted procedure. Ways to increase the SLNB accuracy should be tested. Placing a clip in the node could decrease the current FNRs. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine if pathologic changes in clipped nodes predict better the nodal status by lowering the FNR, compared to SLNB alone without clips. We will also evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the procedure. Design: A randomized, single-blinded, controlled trial will be performed in the Hospital Universitari Josep Trueta of Girona within the Mammary Pathology Unit, from January 2018 to April 2021. Methods: 110 patients with node positive early breast cancer will join the trial following a consecutive recruitment. Patients will be randomly placed in one of the two groups; Clip node and No clip node. For the statistical analysis of all data, T-student test, U-Mann Whitney test and Chi-Square test will be used. A confidence interval of 95% will be assumed and a p<0.05 will be considered to be statistically significant
Conservation of threatened local gene pools: landscape genetics of the Italian roe deer (Capreolus c. italicus) populations

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Background: The endemic Italian roe deer (Capreolus c. italicus) is threatened by introgressive hybridization with the introduced and expanding European subspecies Capreolus c. capreolus. Population genetic surveys show that some populations in central Italy are not yet admixed with the introduced subspecies. Question: Is it possible to identify and map the distributions of native and admixed roe deer populations? Methods: We obtained and analysed diagnostic mitochondrial DNA control-region sequences and individual genotypes at 11 autosomal microsatellite loci in 1051 roe deer samples collected from the entire distribution of Italian roe deer and from reference populations of European roe deer. We used classical and Bayesian statistical approaches to describe the genetic substructure of roe deer populations in Italy. We used admixture analyses and landscape genetic tools to map the fine-scale distributions of Italian roe deer populations and locate their admixture zones. Results: A very few fragmented patches of the Italian roe deer do survive in central Italy. Although these populations are seriously threatened by hybridization with expanding European roe deer, they can be genetically identified and, by means of translocations, saved from genetic extinction.

A Novel Synthetic Route toN 6-Methyl-L-Iysine andN 5-Methyl-L-ornithine viaN 3-Protected (S)-3-Aminolactams

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

(S)-3-Phthalimido- or (S)-3-tritylaminolactams, prepared from L-lysine and L-ornithine in two or three steps, are easily methylated at the endocyclic nitrogen atom by iodomethane/silver(I) oxide in dimethylformamide. Acid hydrolysis of the N-methylated lactams thus obtained affords N6-methyl-L-lysine and N5-methyl-L-ornithine hydrochlorides in high yield.
Hybrid structure based on no-core and graded-index multimode fibers as saturable absorber for a self-starting mode-locked Yb-doped fiber laser

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

We demonstrate an all-fiber ytterbium (Yb)-doped mode-locked oscillator using a hybrid structure based on no-core fiber graded-index multimode fiber (NCF-GIMF) as the saturable absorber (SA). The proposed SA exhibits unique characteristics such as large-power tolerance, high modulation depth of 24.7%, and low saturation intensity of 11.01 M W / c m 2 , which help to achieve a stable mode-locking operation. The all-normal and self-starting oscillator generates stable ultrafast pulses with a repetition rate of 21.35 MHz, pulse energy/average output power of 120 pJ/2.7 mW, and a pulse duration of 2.4 ps at a central wavelength of 1034.2 nm. The output pulses are then dechirped to 300 fs using an external grating compressor and possess high stability with a radio frequency spectrum of 58 dB. These results show that the NCF-GIMF-based SA can be used as an effective photonic device for high energy wave breaking free pulse generation.

Lessons from contraceptive failure

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Summary The decline in the Japanese birth rate, during the past decade, has been brought about largely by resort to induced abortion. In those experimental areas, however, where instruction in contraceptive practice was given, the birth rate and the abortion rate have declined simultaneously. However, even in those areas women who conceived accidentally frequently resorted to abortion. The main reasons for unwanted pregnancy were the incorrect use of the safe period or omission to use contraceptives.

Corpus Linguistic Exploration of Modern Proverb Use and Proverb Patterns

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In my talk, I present an empirical approach to detecting and describing proverbs as frozen sentences with specific functions in current language use.We have developed this approach in the EU project 'SprichWort' (based on the German Reference Corpus).The first chapter illustrates selected aspects of our complex, iterative procedure to validate proverb candidates.Based on our corpus-driven lexpan methodology of slot analysis I then discuss semantic restrictions of proverb patterns.Furthermore, I show different degrees of proverb quality ranging from genuine proverbs to non-proverb realizations of the same abstract pattern.On the one hand, the corpus validation reveals that proverbs are definitely perceived and used as relatively fixed entities and often as sentences.On the other hand, proverbs are not only interpreted as an interesting unique phenomenon but also as part of the whole lexicon, embedded in networks of different lexical items.
Employment-based health benefits: analysis of the April 1993 Current Population Survey.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The April 1993 CPS differs from the March 1993 CPS in a number of respects. The April 1993 CPS supplement surveys only workers, whereas the March CPS examines the noncash benefits received by all Americans. The April CPS asks workers about health coverage in the week in which the questions were fielded, whereas the March CPS asks about coverage in the preceding year. In April 1993, there were 112.5 million civilian American workers between the ages of 18 and 64 with jobs. Eighty-two million (73 percent) of them worked for an employer that sponsored a health insurance plan, and 65 million (58 percent of all workers) participated in their employer's health plan. About one-third of workers at firms with fewer than 10 employees had employers who offer health benefits; about one-quarter of all of the workers in these firms participated in their employer's plan. Conversely, 94 percent of workers at firms with more than 1,000 employees had an employer who sponsored health benefits, and over 77 percent of these workers participated in their employer's plan. There are 16.5 million American workers whose employers sponsored health benefits but who did not participate in these benefits. Over one-half of these workers (8.5 million) chose not to be covered. Another 36 percent of these workers (5.9 million) did not participate because they were ineligible or denied coverage. Over 66 percent of the ineligible workers did not participate because they were part-time, contract, or temporary workers. Another 26 percent had not yet completed a probationary period. Among the reasons that those who chose not to participate in their employer's coverage, the vast majority (75 percent) stated they were covered by another health care plan. Twenty-nine percent stated that they chose not to purchase coverage because it was too costly or that they did not need or want the coverage. In 1993, there were 16.7 million workers with no health insurance coverage. The vast majority of these workers (95 percent) were employed by private employers. Sixty-six percent of the workers with no health insurance coverage were self-employed or worked for firms with fewer than 100 employees.

Trans-stimulation and trans-inhibition of uridine efflux from human erythrocytes by permeant nucleosides

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

The ability of nucleoside permeants to accelerate the efflux of uridine from human erythrocytes has been compared. In contrast to uridine, 2-chloroadenosine acted as a trans-inhibitor of uridine efflux from fresh human erythrocytes, and adenosine had little effect. These results are consistent with the lower maximum velocity for influx of 2-chloroadenosine and adenosine as compared with uridine and demonstrate that trans acceleration experiments do not discriminate between transported and non-transported permeants for the human erythrocyte nucleoside carrier.

ABSTRACT In recent years, Staphylococcus epidermidis has become a major nosocomial pathogen and the most common cause of intravascular catheter-related bacteremia, which can increase morbidity and mortality and significantly affect patient recovery. We report a draft genome sequence of Staphylococcus epidermidis AU12-03, isolated from an intravascular catheter tip.
Vyhodnocení růstu proveniencí borovice lesní v Čechách

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

This study examines the variability of Scots pine provenances in four Czech research plots from the same series of experiments conducted in 1972. 121 provenances from the Czech Republic and Slovakia were evaluated in terms of growth and morphological characteristics. The quantitative traits measured for each tree were its tree height and DBH. The stem volume was also calculated according to the volume equation (Petráš, Pajtík 1991). Among the qualitative traits, stem form, health status, branch thickness in the crown, stem damage, stem twist, stem clearing, stem cross-section, and taper were evaluated. The large variance in growth characteristics of provenances does not specify the suitability of a particular reproductive material for a given area. Slovak provenances even from a relatively small land unit (Šaštín area) planted in the same research plot have different quantitative and qualitative traits. However, the evaluation of the test plots of Scots pine in Bohemia showed impaired growth performance of most of the Slovak provenances. Therefore, it is necessary to test more provenances from a larger area of the Scots pine range to obtain the possibility of using a wider range of reproductive material of the tree in our conditions. In the long term, further provenance trials with new reproductive material are needed to assess suitability under changing natural conditions.
Reaching targets in the national cervical screening programme: are current practices unethical?

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The principle of informed consent is now well established within the National Health Service (NHS) in relation to any type of medical treatment. However, this ethical principle appears to be far less well established in relation to medical screening programmes such as Britain's national cervical screening programme. This article will critically examine the case for health care providers vigorously pursuing women to accept an invitation to be screened. It will discuss the type of information which women would need in order to make an informed decision about whether or not to be screened. The lack of such information in current patient leaflets on the "smear test" will then be documented. Finally, the article will explore possible ways of maximising women's autonomy in relation to the cervical screening programme without sacrificing any of its main benefits.
Design of a Fast Temporary Fastener with the Labor-Saving and Reversible Ability

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Aircraft panel assembly mainly includes the pre-joining process and the riveting process. In addition, the traditional pre-joining process is mainly executed by bolts, which has problems such as the large tightening torque, inconvenient bilateral tightening, heavy workload, and inconvenient loading and unloading. To solve the above-mentioned problems, a research of new temporary fastener is performed deeply from three levels of quick installation, labor-saving, and reversible ability. This involves (a) employing the lever mechanism and the rapid expansion anchor to implement the rapid clamping and disassembly of working processes by labor-saving; (b) integrating the adjusting spring to overcome the tolerances of parts; and (c) building up the space-cross slide rails to provide the axial clamping forces and the reversible forces. The application of designed fasteners was employed into the production of aircraft panel, and the error between theoretical and experimental values was less than 10%. Besides this, the result showed the good effect in panel clamping and the reliable processes of loading and unloading installation, and will greatly reduce the complexity of pre-joining process, the difficulty of installation, and the comprehensive cost.
Hearing, listening and acting

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

We both did all right in physical education and sport while at school; if not the very
best, at least more likely to be picked than picked on. (Well, DC was a bit better than
that, as we suspect were the other authors in this collection.) Like the other contributors we might be seen as establishment insiders from the perspective of the young
people in these research projects, though not perhaps by the teachers/deliverers. It
is interesting that it is us – and ‘people like us’ – who take on the task of understanding and making sense of the experiences of young people who are perhaps not
having a similarly positive experience in physical education or sport.

Estimation of Signal Correlation of Lossy Compact Monopole Arrays With Decoupling Networks

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The received signal correlation between different ports of an antenna array can be calculated from the radiation pattern orthogonality. Through the power conservation law, it is possible to estimate the pattern orthogonality coefficient from the scattering parameters for lossless antenna arrays. For lossy antenna arrays, e.g., due to losses in a decoupling network, the scattering parameters are not sufficient to calculate the pattern orthogonality, which in this case is also a matter of the power loss. In this communication, the relationship between loss power and pattern orthogonality is analyzed and a relatively simple estimation procedure for the pattern orthogonality is presented. Two compact monopole arrays with lossy decoupling networks are investigated as examples. Good agreement between the proposed method and simulation results is achieved.

What psychiatrists think about Part III of the Mental Health Act 1983

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Aims and method The government has proposed a ‘root and branch’ review of the Mental Health Act 1983 to be conducted by the end of 1999. The aim of the study was to establish the views of general and forensic psychiatrists as to the adequacy of present legislative provision for England and Wales. The study was carried out by postal survey. Results The response rates were 82%, for forensic psychiatrists and 67%, for general psychiatrists. Most respondents considered most of present provision satisfactory. Areas considered in need of amendment were: the term ‘psychopathic disorder’; the requirement for an offence punishable by imprisonment before a hospital order can be made, provision for remands to hospital and the loss of clinical independence consequent upon the making of a restriction order. Clinical implications Forensic psychiatrists seem more willing than general psychiatrists to see their clinical discretion limited by the courts. Most of the suggestions were for changes to individual aspects of the present legislation rather than radical reform.
Intrafollicular amyloid in primary hyperparathyroidism

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The histology of the parathyroids from 88 cases of primary hyperparathyroidism has been reviewed in a search for local amyloid deposits. Characteristic intrafollicular amyloid deposits of varying extent were found in nine cases. The case histories of these show that seven had suspected or proven pluriglandular adenomatosis but that the remainder had no such associations. The material studied shows no correlation with systemic primary or secondary amyloidosis. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to the pluriglandular syndrome, peptide hormones, medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, and calcitonin secretion. It is suggested that amyloid in this context may be a `marker' for secretion of a peptide closely related to calcitonin.
