Intensity or Duration: That Is the Main Question of the Exercise Training Management in Stroke-Induced Neurological Deficit - A Systematic and Meta-analysis Study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: The neurological assessment plays a crucial role in evaluating stroke patients and is a skill that has been practiced by physicians for a long time, and further refined by practitioners. The purpose of the current study was to systematically review and synthesize the evidence-based neurological assessment of the different methods of treadmill-related training protocols in stroke patients. Evidence Acquisition: In this study, the appropriate studies were documented (N = 1270) using PubMed as the sole electronic database. Moreover, subgroup studies were provided based on training intensity and duration, categorized as low intensity-low duration, low intensity-high duration, high intensity-low duration, and high intensity-high duration. Training intensities were standardized to meters per second (m/s), and the training duration was calculated in terms of minutes per session, the number of sessions per week, and the total number of training weeks, which were then converted into minutes. The assessment of neurological recovery following stroke was conducted using standard neurological assessment scales. Results: This meta-analysis in humans found a notably positive standardized mean difference in protocols with high intensity and high duration (1.792; 95% CI = 0.566 to 3.02). Conclusions: In conclusion, the current meta-analysis suggests that practitioners using the high intensity-high duration protocol should regularly monitor the neurological outcomes, as they may be negatively impacted by the intensity and duration of the protocol.
Hepatocyte decay in late irradiation liver failure.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

It seemed, in the light of the above results that impairment of the mitotic mechanism of the hepatocytes is the major factor in predisposition to liver failure rather than the influence imposed by the damage of other liver tissues apart from these cells. The study recommends re-estimation of irradiation dosage applied for therapeutic purposes to the liver. Further understanding of ultrastructural irradiation detriment may in addition to development in other respects of radiotherapy, help to minimize complications of this treatment.
Time-Frequency Analysis of the Delta Modulation and PWM Control for the Asynchronous Motors

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This work presents some considerations on a control method for a three-phase asynchronous motor and a time-frequency analysis of the proposed system. The control method uses the delta modulation principle to generate the command signals for a full bridge power inverter that drives three phase asynchronous motor. The time-frequency analysis can bring more new information that could be used to develop new control strategies. The operation principle and the analysis and simulation results are also presented to compare the performances of this control method versus a direct feed from mains
Board Composition And Corporate Use Of Interest Rate Derivatives

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Abstract We provide new evidence on the motives for corporate hedging by examining the relation between the quality of the firms' monitoring mechanisms and the quantity of interest rate derivatives employed. Because the capital structure decision and hedging decision are considered to be endogenous, the firm's capital structure and level of interest rate derivative use are modeled simultaneously. We show a positive relation between the relative influence of outside directors and the quantity of derivatives used. This evidence indicates that outside directors take an active role in derivatives usage and that firms employ hedging in the shareholders' best interests.
NITROGEN ESTIMATION OF OILSEED RAPE USING SPAD AND VIS/NIR SPECTROSCOPY

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The estimation of nitrogen status, non-destructively, in oilseed rape was performed using spectral reflectance with visible and near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (Vis/NIRS), and SPAD values of the oilseed rape leaves of 30 plots were measured by a SPAD 502 chlorophyll meter, and the research was carried out at experiment field in the Zhejiang University during growing season from 2007 to 2008. The SPAD 502 chlorophyll meter was applied to investigate the distribution rule of chlorophyll concentration in the oilseed rape. Regression model between the spectral reflectance and chlorophyll concentration (SPAD value) was built by partial least squares (PLS), the correlation coefficient (r), root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) and bias in prediction set were 0.9368, 3.4992 and 1.834e-07. Correlation between the first derivative of spectral reflectance of oilseed rape leaves and chlorophyll concentration (SPAD value) were analyzed, and the results showed that good correlation coefficient was obtained in the range from 510 to 640 nm and 685 to 720 nm, and the maximum value for correlation coefficient was at the wavelength 707 nm. The linearity equation between the red edge index and chlorophyll concentration (SPAD value) was also analyzed, with the correlation coefficient of 0.986. It is concluded that Vis/NIRS combined SPAD 502 chlorophyll meter was a promising technique to monitor nitrogen status in oilseed rape.
Virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) isolated from urinary tract infections: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are amongst the most frequent causes of urinary tract infections. We report a systematic review and meta-analysis of virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance of UPEC isolated from urinary tract infections. Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed using PRISMA guidelines (Research Registry ref. 5874). Data were extracted from PubMed/MEDLINE and ScienceDirect databases for studies published from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2019. Studies reporting antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors of UPEC isolated in confirmed urinary tract infections (≥10 5 CFU/ml) were eligible. Prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors of UPEC were estimated using random-effects meta-analysis model. Estimates with 95% confidence intervals, I-square ( I 2 ) statistic, and Cochran's Q test were computed using the score statistic and the exact binomial method by incorporating the Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformation of proportions. Results Our search returned 2504 hits, of which 13 studies were included in the meta-analysis, totalling 1888 UPEC isolates. Highest antimicrobial resistance rates were observed among the antibiotic class of tetracycline in 69.1% (498/721), followed by sulphonamides in 59.3% (1119/1888), quinolones in 49.4% (1956/3956), and beta-lactams in 36.9% (4410/11964). Among beta-lactams, high resistance was observed in aminopenicillins in 74.3% (1157/1557) and first generation cephalosporins in 38.8% (370/953). Meanwhile, virulence factors with highest prevalence were immune suppressors (54.1%) followed by adhesins (45.9%). Taken individually, the most observed virulence genes were shiA (92.1%), CSH (80.0%), fimH/MSHA (75.3%), traT (75.1%), sisA (72.2%), iucD (65.7%), iutA (61.8%), kpsMTII (60.6%), and PAI (55.2%). Conclusions The increased antibiotic resistance of UPEC isolates was demonstrated and suggested a need for reassessment of empirical therapies in urinary tract infections treatment caused by this pathogen. In addition, this pathotype exhibited diverse surface and secreted virulence factors.
[A histo-morphometric study on peripheral nerve allografts in rats with cyclosporin A].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

This investigation evaluates regeneration across peripheral nerve allografts in minor mismatch rats immunosuppressed with Cyclosporin A (CSA). Lewis(RT1(1)) rats were recipients of 20 mm sciatic nerve grafts from allogenic Fischer (RT1(1)) donors. The recipients were randomly allocated to CSA immunosuppressed or untreated groups. CSA was administered at a daily dose of 5 mg/kg by subcutaneous injection for 8 weeks. Two animals from each group were sacrificed at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 weeks after the operation, and bilateral sciatic nerves were resected. Until the 8th week, the CSA-treated group showed good vascularization and minimal scar formation. The regeneration was faster and better in the CSA-treated group than in the untreated group. At the 12th week, however, the CSA-treated group showed scarring in the grafted nerves and Wallerian degeneration in the distal nerves, whereas the untreated group showed increased vascularization and myelinated fibers. The results have demonstrated that CSA greatly facilitates the regeneration process across the nerve allograft whereas the discontinuation of CSA leads to reduction of the regenerated nerve fibers. These findings would indicate that the use of CSA is imperatively needed even in minor mismatch cases.

Biophysical Studies of Hairpin Polyamides with Broad-Spectrum Activity Against High-Risk Human Papillomaviruses

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

Human papillomavirus is a small dsDNA virus that infects mucosal and cutaneous epithelial tissues. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV is the main etiological agent in the development of cervical cancer worldwide. Although prophylactic vaccines against HPV are available, these preventative measures are type-specific and are ineffective against existing infections. Thus, there is a pressing need for antiviral drugs with a broad-spectrum activity against HPV to eradicate existing infections, no matter the subtype.\nOur group and collaborators have synthesized an extensive library of novel N-methylpyrrole/N-methylimidazole (Py/Im) hairpin polyamides (PAs) with broad-spectrum activities against three prevalent oncogenic-HPV types (HPV16, HPV18 and HPV31) without apparent cytotoxicity. Because Py/Im polyamides can be rationally designed to bind the minor groove of dsDNA in a sequence-dependent manner, these small molecules are attractive candidates as modulators of gene expression, as molecular probes for diagnostics and as antiviral agents for the selective elimination of dsDNA viruses.\nDespite the promise of applying these agents to treat HPV infections, much regarding their mechanism of action remains unexplained. Therefore, the overall goal of this dissertation is to investigate the DNA-binding properties of potent anti-HPV PAs under cell-free conditions and in HPV-harboring keratinocytes. Chapter 2 describes biophysical studies of anti-HPV hairpin polyamides (PA1 and PA25) using deoxyribonuclease I footprinting and affinity cleavage to interrogate the sequence specificity, binding sites and dissociation constants within the HPV18 Long Control Region. Chapter 3 extends these analyses to a new structural class of hairpin polyamides with tetramethylguanidinium (PA30) and guanidinium (PA31) substitutions on the N-terminus of PA1. Chapter 4 presents a detailed procedure to determine the genome-wide binding events of DNA-binding molecules in cell-free conditions using hydroxyl radical footprinting coupled to massively parallel DNA sequencing (·OH-Seq). In Chapter 5, ·OH-Seq and COSMIC-Seq have been employed to assess the binding occupancies of anti-HPV hairpin polyamides across the viral genomes in keratinocytes harboring HPV16 episomes.\nA deeper understanding of the molecular underpinnings of the ability of antiviral hairpin PAs to eliminate the HPV viral load may facilitate the development of a new generation of broad-spectrum antiviral treatments against this deadly virus.
A new family of primitive serphitoid wasps in Lebanese amber (Hymenoptera: Serphitoidea)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A new family of serphitoid wasps (Bipetiolarida: Serphitoidea) is described and figured as <strong>Archaeoserphitidae</strong> Engel, new family. The family is based on <em><strong>Archaeoserphites melqarti</strong></em> Engel, new genus and species, preserved in Early Cretaceous amber from Lebanon, and shares with Serphitidae a two-segmented, tubular petiole. <em>Archaeoserphites</em> have several primitive features relative to Serphitidae (<em>e.g</em>., reduced pterostigma, similar to many chalcidoids; a greater number of flagellomeres; a distinct malar sulcus), while simultaneously exhibiting its own derived features (<em>e.g</em>., angulate lower face, with clypeus downward; smaller mandibles; large pronotum; fused propleura). Diagnoses of and keys to the higher taxa of Bipetiolarida are provided, and the subfamily <strong>Microserphitinae</strong> Engel, new subfamily, is established.
Relationship between pit age and the abundance of main microbes in pit mud

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Microbes in pit mud play a key role in the production of Luzhou-flavor liquor. This study was to understand how microbes indicate pit age, and the relationship between pit maturing and abundances of microbes. We chose to study 6 main microbes in pits including 3 genera of eubacteria(Sporanaerobacter, Petrimonas, Tissierella) and 3 genera of archaea(Methanobrevibacter, Methanoculleus and Methanosarcina). Specific primer pairs for these genera, total eubacteria and total archaea were designed and validated; meanwhile a new primer specificity validation method was established. Then we detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR the numbers of these microbes in some pit mud with different ages from two wineries in Sichuan China, Jiannanchun Winery(A) and Swellfun Winery(B). Results showed that 1) the abundances of these microbes increased with fluctuations with pit aging; 2) in Winery B, the abundances increased fast during the previous 50 years of pit age with little difference through the 50-150 years; 3) both the percentages of Methanobrevibacter in the pit mud from Winery A and Methanosarcina in the pit mud from Winery B to total archaea had a good linear relationship with the pit age. The study showed a positive correlation between pit microbe abundance and quality of Luzhou-flavor liquor, though the abundance and proportion of pit microbes are different in various wineries. The pit age of different wineries can be indicated by specific microbes.
Evaluation of the effect of three different base endodontic sealers on the periapical region's discomfort and healing after root canal therapy

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Seventy-five single-rooted teeth diagnosed with asymptomatic necrosis and apical periodontitis were randomly assigned to 3 experimental groups (n=25), according to the root canal sealer: MTA Fillapex, CPM Sealer, and AH Plus. Calcium hydroxide was employed as intracanal dressing throughout used during endodontic procedure. Classify each patient's discomfort as none, slight, moderate, or severe. Pain was rated between 1 and 4 after 24 hours, 48 hours, and 7 days. Also, analgesic use was monitored. The chi-square test contrasted postoperative pain and painkiller use. The ordinal (linear) chi-square test measured pain following therapy. There were no differences between groups in postoperative pain frequency, severity, or analgesic intake (p>0.05). After 7 days, no pain. Postoperative discomfort and the requirement for analgesics were the same for AH Plus, CPM Sealer, and MTA Fillapex. Aim of study: This clinical study was created to evaluate the frequency and intensity of pain with analgesic intake following root canal therapy utilizing various root canal sealers (MTA Fillapex, CPM Sealer, AH Plus).

Automated Information Extraction and Structure−Activity Relationship Analysis of Cytochrome P450 Substrates

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

Information on CYP-chemical interactions was comprehensively explored by a text-mining technique, to confirm our previous structure-activity relationship model for CYP substrates (Yamashita et al. J. Chem. Inf. Model. 2008, 48, 364-369). The text-mining technique is based on natural language processing and can extract chemical names and their interaction patterns according to sentence context. After chemicals were automatically extracted and classified into CYP substrates, inhibitors, and inducers, 709 substrates were retrieved from the PubChem database and categorized as 216, 145, 136, 217, 156, and 379 substrates for CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, and CYP3A4, respectively. Although the previous classification model was developed using data from only 161 compounds, the model classified the substrates found by text-mining analysis with reasonable accuracy. This confirmed the validity of both the multi-objective classification model for CYP substrates and the text-mining procedure.
Retinal Boundaries and Visual Function in Gyrate Atrophy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Three patients with gyrate atrophy of the retina and choroid underwent fundus photoperimetry, the combination of fundus photography and visual field analysis within the same instrument, to examine the correspondence between the funduscopically observed, scalloped margin of remaining retina and the functional limit of the peripheral visual field. The results suggest that near the border between remaining retina and atrophic areas, visual sensitivity falls off quite rapidly, producing perimetric isopters that conform closely to the scalloped retinal margin. In some instances, visual function can be demonstrated in islands of remaining retina that are totally surrounded by atrophic areas. This study demonstrates the usefulness of fundus photoperimetry in following the course of degenerative retinal diseases.

Chalcophile Elements and Sulfides in the Upper Mantle

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Sulfides are among the most important petrogenetic agents in magmatic systems. They are ubiquitous in most upper-mantle rock types, common as inclusions in diamonds and they host significant amounts of geochemically and economically important chalcophile (‘sulfur-loving’) elements, such as Cu, Ni, Pb, In, Au and the platinum-group elements. Despite their low abundance (<< 1% of the bulk rock), residual sulfides have a disproportionate control over the chalcophile element budget in upper mantle lithologies, as well as that of melts derived from the Earth's mantle.
Study on Fiber Forms and Tissue Measurements of Bambusa wenchouensis Wood

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The fiber forms and tissue measurements of Bambusa wenchouensis wood in the southern area in Zhejiang province were tested and compared with those of B. textilis and Dendrocal_amopsis oldhami. The analytic results showed that the fiber length (L) of B. wenchouensis was 2.24 mm, a little shorter than that of B. textilis (2.29 mm)but longer than D. oldhami(1.87 mm); the ratio of fiber length to width (L/W) was 166, the largest one among the three woods, and those of the other bamboospe cies were 147 and 131 respectively; the ratio of wall thickness of fiber cell to the cavity diameter (T/D) was 3.5; measurements of fiber tissue was 48.68%, a bit smaller than that of B. textilis (50.19%)but larger than D. oldhami(45.78%). The fiber forms and tissue measurements were variable in both axial and radial parts of this bamboo: T/D and fiber tissue measurements increased gradually from the culm foot to tip; the fiber length and L/W both were the largest in the central bamboo wall, while T/D was the highest in the outer wall. The age had a significant influence on T/D, which was much larger of 1 or 3-year-old wood than that of month-old wood.
