Resonance rayleigh scattering method for determination of Gatifloxacin with Tb~(3+)-Alizarin red as probe

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

A novel method for the determination of Gatifloxacin by Resonance Rayleigh Scattering( RRS) has been developed. In p H5. 5 ~ 6. 5 HAc-Na Ac buffer solution,Gatifloxacin can react with Tb3+to form cation chelates,but its resonance rayleigh scattering( RRS) was very weak. A new RRS spectrum was observed when the chelated cation further reacts with Alizarin Red to form an ion association complexe. The two scattering peaks are located at 373 and 605 nm. The RRS intensity is proportional to the concentration of Gatifloxacin in the range of 0 ~ 5. 26 μg·m L-1and its detection limit is 7. 5 ng·m L-1at 373 nm. The method,which is simple,rapid and have a good selectivity,has been successfully applied to the determination of gatifloxacin in tablet,human urine and serum and its recovery ranges from 96. 1 ~ 104. 5%.
Genetic Parameter Estimates for Reproductive Traits of Male and Female Littermate Swine

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Reproductive traits of purebred and crossbred pigs produced in a four-breed diallel mating system using the Duroc, Landrace, Spotted and Yorkshire breeds were collected for five consecutive farrowing seasons (two farrowing seasons/year) beginning in fall 1976. Paternal half-sib heritabilities and genetic correlations for testicular traits (120 boars from 36 sires), serum testosterone (TE) and luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations before and after treatment with gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH; 131 boars from 37 sires) and breeding performance traits (151 boars from 38 sires) were estimated. Heritability estimates were generally small to moderate except for sperm/gram testis (SGT), LH concentrations before (LHO) and at 3 h (LH3) after treatment with GnRH (.73 +/- .48, .61 +/- .46 and 1.19 +/- .45, respectively). A large positive genetic correlation was found for LHO with LH3 (.94 +/- .39), while a negative relationship existed for LH3 with TE concentrations at 3 h after GnRH injection. The genetic correlation between a boar's average first service conception rate and average conception rate also was significant (.82 +/- .54). Genetic correlations among littermate traits would suggest that selection for decreased age at puberty in gilts could cause an increase in LH concentrations in boar offspring, before and after GnRH injection, and may also have adverse effects on their ability to settle females. Selection for increased weight at puberty of gilts could cause TE concentrations of boar offspring to increase while having little effect on their breeding performance.
Endolymphatic sac papillary carcinoma treated with surgery and post-operative intensity-modulated radiotherapy: A rare case report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Endolymphatic sac tumor is a rare papillary neoplasm of the temporal bone which can occur sporadically or in association with von Hippel-Lindau disease. Many cases have been reported in neurosurgical literature wherein surgical excision has proved to be the gold standard of treatment. This article highlights the rarity of the pathology and the role of radiotherapy to the residual lesion after surgery. Benefits of intensity modulated radiotherapy in such irregular-shaped tumor, which is in close vicinity to the critical structures, are also discussed.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Training on the preparation and analysis of test items using the ANBUSO application was conducted to the social studies teachers of MGMP SMP/MTs Jember Regency at UIN Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember. Based on the results of the initial Focus Group Discussion (FGD) conducted by the service team with the Social Studies Teacher Consultation Group SMP / MTs in Jember Regency, the partners are confronted with a problem that the MTs/SMP social studies teachers’ capacity to plan and produce reports on the outcomes of learning evaluation is insufficient. The aims of this service activity are as follows: a) describe the execution of training procedures of learning evaluation preparation, formulation of test items, and item analysis utilizing the ANBUSO application for social studies teachers of SMP/MTs in Jember Regency; b) describe the execution of item analysis assistance utilizing the ANBUSO application for social studies teachers of SMP/MTs in Jember Regency; c) determine the level of success of activities to strengthen the pedagogical competence of social studies teachers of SMP/MTs through training of preparation and item analysis using the ANBUSO Application. d) describe the results of the evaluation of service activities. The method employed in this service activity is the PAR (Participatory Action Research) through several stages including: Mapping and problem identification, FGD and problem analysis, Program preparation stage, program socialization, program implementation, monitoring, and program evaluation. The implementation of this community service activity consists of the following stages: (1) providing training materials consisting of the concept of learning evaluation, procedures for preparing learning evaluations, especially in the Merdeka curriculum, preparing test questions and test items analysis; (2) analyzing test items using the ANBUSO application. The results of the theoretical test in the form of a pre-test and post-test indicate that the post test data shows a significant increase, namely 91% passed with a score above 70 and the remaining 9% failed with a score below 70. Evaluation is also carried out by assessing the results of practices that have been successfully carried out by the participants.
STRUCTURAL STUDIES OF HUMAN 7S γ-GLOBULIN (G IMMUNOGLOBULIN)

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

1. Detailed physical, chemical, and immunologic studies of a protein closely related to the Fc fragment and heavy chain of G immunoglobulin (IgG), and elaborated by a subject with a lymphoproliferative disorder are presented. 2. The protein, which has a molecular weight of 51,000, was cleaved into two half molecules by reduction and alkylation. 3. The protein has few if any of the antigenic determinants of the antigen-binding (Fab) papain fragment of IgG, and has a striking similarity in its antigenic properties to the Fc fragment. 4. Fingerprint patterns resemble those of the crystallizable (Fc) fragment, and lack several peptides found in the heavy chain. 5. These findings suggest that the Fc fragment may be a real structural unit of IgG, and raise the possibility of the existence of three different types of polypeptide chains in G immunoglobulin.

Mass Transport of Cell Gases in Carbon Dioxide Blown PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Foam Insulation

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foam is a possible replacement option for polyurethane (PUR) foam as insulation material in district heating pipes. In this study, the diffusion coefficients and activation energies of cell gases in carbon dioxide blown PET foam (densities 148–157 kg·m −3 ) were determined at temperatures between 23 °C and 90 °C. The foam thermal ageing due to the mass transport of air into and carbon dioxide out of the foam was about ten times slower in PET foam than in PUR foam. The thermal conductivities of the PET foam boards were determined in a heat flow meter apparatus. The contribution to the foam thermal conductivity due to conduction in the solid polymer and radiation within the cell voids was determined to 17 mW·m −1 ·K −1 at 20 °C. This is higher than the value estimated for PUR foam in district heating pipes, 12 mW·m −1 ·K −1 . This contribution can probably be reduced by developing low density PET foam and reducing the cell size.
Adaptive Vector Control of Induction Motor Using CTMVC

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A nonlinear predictive controller for induction motor drive, an on-line estimation of rotor time-constant and a load torque are proposed. The new controller is designed using a combination of two approaches which are Indirect Field Oriented and Continuous Time Minimum Variance (CTMV) controls. The on-line estimation of rotor time-constant is based on the mathematical model of induction machine. This controller has many advantages such as fast dynamic response and simplicity. The aim of this control strategy is to estimate and track the changes of rotor time- constant and load torque in order to obtain a global decoupling between rotor flux and electromagnetic torque and to avoid the use of expensive sensors. An open loop estimator of rotor flux is obtained from accessible variables. This controller is tested in MATLAB/SIMULINK and some simulation results are presented to demonstrate the validity of this approach.
Age-Related Differences in the Effect of Psychological Distress on Mortality: Type D Personality in Younger versus Older Patients with Cardiac Arrhythmias

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background. Mixed findings in biobehavioral research on heart disease may partly be attributed to age-related differences in the prognostic value of psychological distress. This study sought to test the hypothesis that Type D ( distressed ) personality contributes to an increased mortality risk following implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) treatment in younger patients but not in older patients. Methods. The Type D Scale (DS14) was used to assess general psychological distress in 455 younger (≤70 y,. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), but not Type D personality, was associated with increased mortality in older patients. Among younger patients, however, Type D personality was associated with an adjusted hazard ratio = 1.91 (95% CI 1.09–3.34) and 2.26 (95% CI 1.16–4.41) for all-cause and cardiac mortality; other predictors were increasing age, CRT, appropriate shocks, ACE-inhibitors, and smoking. Conclusion. Type D personality was independently associated with all-cause and cardiac mortality in younger ICD patients but not in older patients. Cardiovascular research needs to further explore age-related differences in psychosocial risk.
The ApoM/S1P-complex: its role in vascular inflammatory disease and interaction with S1P-receptors

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

HDL is believed to be protective against cardiovascular disease (CVD) via the reverse cholesterol transport and anti-inflammatory actions in the vessel. Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is an apolipoprotein mainly associated with HDL. Recently ApoM was proven tobe the main carrier of Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) in circulation. SIP is a signaling phospholipid involved in the immune system, exerting most of its effects through signaling via 5-G-protein coupled receptors; SlPl-5. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the role of the apoM/SlP-complex in vascular inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis and sepsis. We also want to study the interaction between the apoM/SlP-complex and the SlP-receptors.We developed a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for SlP-quantification in plasma and cell extracts. We found that plasma levels of SIP and apoM were decreased in sepsis, levels reflecting the severity of the disease. The apoM/SlP-complex contributes to the anti-inflammatory effects exerted by HDL as shown in vitro by its inhibiting potential of pro-inflammatory adhesion molecules on the endothelial surface and by its increment of the endothelial barrier function. Plasma levels of apoM and SIP in type-l-diabetes (TlD)- patients (who have increased risk of developing CVD) were not altered compared to healthy controls. However, HDL-particles from TlD showed decreased anti-inflammatory effects which were not related to reduced presence of apoM and S1P. The apoM/S1P-complex could interact with all SlP-receptors as shown by internalization offluorescently labelled S1P-receptors overexpressed in HEK293-cells. Interestingly, extracellular levels of apoM and SIP could detemine which receptor was available at the cellular surface.ln conclusion, our data suggest apoM and SlP to have a role in acute and chronic inflammation. Future research could help us clarify how the apoM/SlP-complex signals through the different SlP-receptors in different inflammatory disorders and hence contribute in developing new therapies against diseases in the vasculature.

The cholinergic fibers run prevalently longitudinal in the perivascular connective tissue, only brief segments show a loose network. The lymph vessels wall, compared with that of blood vessels, shows few adrenergic nerve fibers locate d in the adventitia outside the smooth muscle cells. The possible role of the nervous system in the Motor control of the lymph vessels is discussed .
Effective vascular compliance and venous diameter in dogs

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Total effective vascular compliance was measured repeatedly in open-chest dogs without circulatory arrest, utilizing a closed-circuit venous bypass system with a constant cardiac output. Mutual inductance coils were used to measure the diameter of the inferior vena cava above the diaphragm at the position where the pressure change was recorded during a volume load (ΔV). In all experiments, there was a relationship which tended to be curvilinear between the diameter of the inferior vena cava and the venous pressure before ΔV. No relationship was demonstrated between the initial diameter or pressure and the calculated effective vascular compliance. During aortic constriction or infusion of noradrenaline, the effective compliance was reduced in value at any given initial venous diameter and pressure. An unaltered venous diameter and plasma volume excluded the possibility of a large change in initial venous volume as a cause of the observed changes in compliance during aortic constriction or during infusion of noradrenaline. A relationship was observed between compliance and calculated venous wall tension so that as the wall tension, developed during a fixed volume load, increased, there was an associated reduction in compliance. These results demonstrate that the measurement of effective compliance provides an assessment of combined active and passive venous wall tension and venous tone.
Trust, trustworthiness, and risk in rural Paraguay

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This dissertation looks at the relationship between trust, trustworthiness, and risk aversion in a rural Paraguayan setting. The first chapter of this dissertation looks at theft between farmers. Rural areas of developing countries often lack effective legal enforcement. However, villagers who know each other well and interact repeatedly may use implicit contracts to minimize crime. I construct a dynamic limited-commitment model in which a thief cannot credibly commit to forego stealing from his fellow villagers but may be induced to limit his stealing by the promise of future gifts from his potential victim. Using a unique survey from rural Paraguay which combines traditional data on production with information on theft, gifts, and trust, as well as with experiments measuring trust and trustworthiness, I test whether the data is consistent with predictions from the dynamic model. The results provide evidence that, in contrast with predictions from a one-period model with an anonymous thief, farmers do implicitly contract with one another to limit theft. Farmers who have more close family members in their village give fewer gifts, and farmers with plots which are more difficult to steal from give fewer gifts, experience less theft, and trust more. Gift-giving increases when trust is lower and the threat of theft is greater, turning the social capital literature on its head. The second chapter of this dissertation looks at a different linkage between trust, trustworthiness, and risk. Trusting behavior in general and play in the traditional trust experiment specifically depend both on trust beliefs and on levels of risk aversion. I ran two experiments with a diverse set of subjects in fifteen villages of rural Paraguay, the traditional trust experiment and a new experiment measuring only risk aversion. I find that risk attitudes are highly predictive of play in the trust game. In addition, omitting risk aversion as a regressor in trust regressions significantly changes the coefficients of important explanatory variables such as gender and wealth.

Abstract P2-11-02: Perception and practice of reproductive specialists towards fertility preservation of young breast cancer patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background: The potential for infertility caused by treatment is one of the important quality-of-life issues in young breast cancer (YBC) patients. Insufficient communication and partnership between oncologists and reproductive specialists has been identified as a major barrier to meeting their needs. However, the perception of reproductive specialists towards fertility preservation (FP) of YBC has not been evaluated. Objective: To investigate the perception and needs of reproductive specialists towards FP of YBC patients. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was developed and sent to 423 certified reproductive specialists registered to the Japan Society for Reproductive Medicine to self-evaluate their perceptions and practices regarding FP in YBC patients. Results: Two hundred reproductive specialists (47%) responded to the survey. 99% responded that reproductive specialists should be engaged in FP of YBC patients. 46% responded that cancer treatment is more important than childbirth even if the patient was recurrence-free five years after primary treatment. 83% responded that they would like to treat YBC patients. Respondents affiliated with private clinics were more likely to accept both fertilized egg and unfertilized egg preservation than those affiliated with academic or general hospitals (p &lt; 0.01). 58% responded that ovulation induction methods should be modified in YBC patients. The choice of ovulation induction methods varied both in non-cancer women and YBC patients, however, the frequency of the use of letrozole was significantly higher (p &lt; 0.01) and that of LHRH-agonist short protocol was significantly less (p &lt; 0.05) in the management of breast cancer patients than in the practice of non-cancer women. 70% of the reproductive specialists responded that they were anxious in treating YBC patients. Concerns for greater or unknown risk of disease recurrence (66%), insufficient knowledge about breast cancer (47%), and lack of patient's spouse/partner (24%) were identified as major barriers in supporting FP for YBC patients. Conclusion Reproductive specialists recognize the needs of FP in YBC patients and are willing to participate and support care for YBC. Affiliation of reproductive specialists was related to positive attitude towards to egg preservation. Various concerns regarding FP among reproductive specialists indicate the need for evidence that supports the safety of FP for YBC patients and guidelines that facilitate the practice and communication of oncologists and reproductive specialists.

Diffraction by Apertures of Wavelength Dimensions

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The classical Huygens–Fresnel theory of diffraction breaks down for aperture dimensions less than four to five wavelengths. Keller's Geometrical Theory of Diffraction, on the other hand, is known to fit the exact solution very well for slit-widths as small as two wavelengths. A comparative study of the correlation of the Keller and Kirchhoff theory with measurements of the far-field pattern behind slit-widths 1.092 μ, 1.21 μ, and 2.67 μ, ruled in an aluminum film of thickness 120 nm, has been undertaken. The theory is evaluated for thin slits and for thick round-ended slits of wavelength dimensions, and also for dielectric and conducting edges. The latter are compared with edge-diffraction measurements. The results lead to the conclusion that, at optical frequencies, the inability to fabricate edges of precisely describable size and shape have the effect of extending the relative usefulness of Kirchhoff theory to apertures of wavelength dimensions.
