EUS-guided treatment of WON using lumen-apposing metal stents: protocol standardisation based on the occurrence of natural healing processes

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We read with great interest the paper by Bang et al ,1 which reported the results of a randomised controlled trial comparing endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided placement of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) (Hot Axios) versus plastic stents (PS) for the treatment of patients with walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON). During the first phase of the study, a very high number of adverse events (AEs) (32.2%) occurred in the LAMS arm, including two patients with a buried stent, three with bleeding pseudoaneurysms that required coil embolisation and other three with stent-induced biliary stricture. All these AEs occurred within 6 weeks from stent placement, which was the time established to assess treatment response by an abdominal CT. Due to this high rate of AEs, the protocol was changed and follow-up CT anticipated at 3 weeks, resulting in a decrease of AEs to 6.5% in the …

SULFATIDES AND GLYCOLIPIDS IN PLATELETS AND ENDOTHELIAL CELLS

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

Sulfatides are sulfated glycolipids which are negatively charged and thought to influence receptor mediated activities. Sulfatides have the capacity to provide a surface for the initiation of in vitro coagulation tests and these acidic lipids represent the potential biological surface for the initiation of the contact and intrinsic systems in vivo. Several sulfatides have been demonstrated in blood platelets. We have investigated sulfatides and other glycolipids in endothelial cells and platelets in order to define the cellular sources for sulfatides that would be available for influencing hemostasis. Endothelial cells were derived from primary cultures of human umbilical veins and human platelets were obtained from freshly-collected blood. Cellular lipids were extracted by the Folch method. Sulfatides and glycolipids were purified by silicic acid chromatography, separated by thin-layer chromatography, and quantitated by the assay of sphingosine. Glycolipids were also analyzed by HPLC. Globoside was found to be the predominant glycolipid in endothelial cells while lactosyl ceramide was the predominant glyco-lipid in platelets. Sulfatides were detected by two approaches: 1) Sulfatide synthesis by the incorporation of [35S]-Sulfate; 2) The specific binding of [125I]-thrombospondin and [125I]-von Willebrand’s factor (vWF) to sulfatides separated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Several sulfatides were identified in endothelial cells and platelets by virtue of the incorporation of [35S]-sulfate into glycolipids separated by TLC. [125I]-TSP and [125I]-vWF bound to the glycolipids that had incorporated [35S]-sulfate. [35S]-sulfate was primarily incorporated into sulfated galactosyl ceramide but both cells also synthesized complex glycolipids. TSP and vWF were shown to bind to sulfated galactosyl ceramide, a band that comigrated with glycosyl ceramide as well as with two more complex sulfatides in both cells. However, differences in sulfatide synthesis and binding of TSP to sulfatides were observed in endothelial cells from that in platelets. The study indicates that endothelial cells and platelets contain several sulfatides and thus are potential sources for sulfatides for the initiation of coagulation.
An Analysis of the Navy's Overseas Screening Policy

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The study analyzes the performance of the Navy's Overseas Screening Policy for 1989, with specific emphasis on determining how many personnel were returned to the U.S. prior to the end of their tour. Overseas screening in its present form is the result of 16 years worth of development. the purpose of screening is to avoid sending members overseas with problems that cannot be handled by the overseas command. The data collected for this thesis included information on personnel incarcerated overseas, administratively discharged while overseas, medically evacuated from overseas, and those returned at the request of an overseas command. Estimates made from the data showed that the number of early returns is much higher than previously thought, and that there are substantial costs associated with these early returns.
Aerodynamics of shuttlecocks

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The popularity of Badminton sports has gained significantly over the years with the invention of synthetic shuttlecock which is lower in cost and more durable. However, a synthetic shuttlecock that exactly mirrors the flight of feather shuttlecock is yet to be produced. The purpose of this study is to understand the aerodynamics properties of feather shuttlecock by doing various experiments in outdoor and wind-tunnel. Terminal velocity experiment and closed loop wind tunnel experiment were carried out in this project. Initially, the wind tunnel experimental fixture was designed using Solidworks and manufactured. However, problems were encountered at low air speed which is then solved by designing a different low speed fixture. The experiments were carried out using load cell to obtain the drag force experienced by shuttlecocks and high speed camera to capture the rotation motion of the shuttlecocks. The data collected was further processed by calibration and calculation which eventually gave the shuttlecocks skirt deformation, rotation rate and drag force. The experiment showed that the aerodynamic properties of the shuttlecocks were different under rotating and non-rotating conditions. Furthermore, it also justified that the drag force of the shuttlecock at terminal velocity is equal to its weight. Finally, this report discuss on future recommendation that needed to be done on this project to further understand the aerodynamics properties of feather shuttlecock.

Morpho-anatomical appraisal of some pulse crops under salinity stress

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The experiment was conducted at the field and laboratory of the Department of Crop Botany, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Salna, Gazipur during the period from December 2016 to March 2017 to find out the morpho-anatomical appraisal of some pulse crops of Fabaceae family under salinity stress. Seven pulse crops viz., Lentil var. BARI Masur-7, Mungbean var. BARI Mung- 6, Blackgram var. BARI Maskalai-1, Chickpea var. BARI Chola-9, Field pea var. BARI Motor-1, Grasspea var. BARI Khesari-3 and Cowpea var. BARI Felon-2; two levels of salinity 0 and 8 dSm-1were imposed as experimental treatments. It was laid out in a completely randomized design with three replications. The NaCl was directly mixed to the dry soil. The soil (6 kg pot-1) of each treatment was placed in plastic pots with drainage holes in the bottom. The results of the experiment revealed that, salt stress caused decrease in morphological attributes and also changed anatomical features. There was a significant variation in relative values (%) of plant height, root length (%) root dry matter (%) and shoot dry matter (%) of seven selected pulse crop varieties due to the salinity stress. The highest percentage of relative plant height (92), relative root length (98), relative root dry weight (89) and relative shoot dry weight (72.8) were observed in cowpea followed by grass pea and the lowest percentage of relative plant height (51), relative root length (56), relative root dry weight (54) and relative shoot dry weight (48) were observed in lentil. The stem anatomical features were found similar changes in xylem and phloem area. Among the pulse crop varieties, cowpea and grass pea were performed better whereas lentil and black gram were found more susceptible species than the others according to their morphological and anatomical attributes.

Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) genetic diversity and prevalence of antiretroviral drug resistance mutations in treatment-nave adults in Jos, North Central Nigeria

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The presence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type-1 diversity has an impact on vaccine efficacy and drug resistance. It is important to know the circulating genetic variants and associated drug-resistance mutations in the context of scale up of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Nigeria. The objective of this study was to determine the genetic diversity of HIV-1 and the prevalence of antiretroviral (ARV) drug resistance mutations among antiretroviral treatment-naïve HIV-1 infected patients in Jos, North Central Nigeria. Plasma samples were collected from 105 ARV drug-naïve patients enrolled for HIV care at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH) HIV Treatment Center between October 2010 and April 2011. One hundred (100) samples were successfully amplified. Viral subtyping was done using REGA subtyping tool and by phylogenetic analysis using PAUP software. The drug resistance mutations were determined using the Stanford University HIVdb sequence interpretation algorithm. HIV-1 subtypes identified were; CRF02_AG (48.0%), G (41.0%), CRF06_cpx (6.0%) and A1 (5.0%). 8% of the patients’ isolates had at least one major resistance mutation in the RT gene: Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors: M41L (1%), K65KR (1%), M184IM (1%), M184V (2%) and T215ADNT (1%), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors: K103N (2%), K101E (1%), G190A (1%), P225HP (1%), Y181I (1%), Y188L (1%), and Y181C (1%). Among antiretroviral (ARV) naïve patients in Jos, North Central Nigeria, the common HIV-1 subtypes was CRF_02 and G. And the prevalence of drug resistance mutations was found to be high (8%). Further study and national surveillance will be critically important to understand the clinical impact of transmitted resistance mutations on ART naïve individuals in resource limited settings. Key words: HIV-1 subtypes, antiretroviral (ARV), treatment-naïve, drug-resistance, mutation, accessory and polymorphisms, Nigeria.
[Revised organ transplantation act in Japan from the view of emergency doctors].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The revised organ transplantation act will come into effect from July 2010 in Japan. Here, we discuss about problems related to the organ procurement system from the perspective of a donor hospital. Organ procurement poses a heavy burden on the donor hospital, and it is difficult to procure organs from a child. The procedure for organ donation, especially, organ donation upon the diagnosis of brain death, requires considerable time and involves many specialists. For example, the progression from the diagnosis of clinical brain death to the end of organ harvesting takes about more than 45 hours. To reduce the heavy burden on donor hospitals, some type of support system is required such as a system of providing economical assistance and specialists for the diagnosis of brain death. The shipping of organs from a child donor, the regulation of the criteria for the diagnosis children of brain death, and a framework of donor hospitals must be analyzed and standardized. Organ procurement is strictly regulated by legal guidelines; we propose that under the revised legal framework, the procedure of organ procurement be rapid.
Fiscal redistribution and public support for European integration

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This article contributes to existing debates on public opinion toward European integration by examining when and why fiscal transfers and public support are systematically related. Drawing on economic and identity-related theories, we develop and test hypotheses about the links between European Union fiscal transfers among countries and subnational jurisdictions, and citizens’ support for European integration. Using a three-level analysis of residents in 143 regions in 16 European Union member states, we find a positive effect of European Union transfers among both countries and subnational jurisdictions on support for European integration among those with a European communal identity. We also find that this effect increases the more politically aware individuals are. The article sketches the broader implications of our findings for public opinion research on regional integration beyond the European Union.

Use Pattern of Oral PDE-5 Inhibitors in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

This study was designed to investigate the use pattern of oral phosphodiesterase Type 5 inhibitors in Jeddah, SA. All participants (n = 500) above 18 years who sought oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors from community pharmacies were included in this study. Questionnaires were distributed to a 100 community pharmacies and a computer program was used for data analysis. Of the 500 distributed questionnaires, 337 were received (response rate 67.4%), it was found that 270 (80%) of the respondents had been taking anti-erectile dysfunction drugs without consultation with their doctors and 67 (20%) of respondents had been using their drugs after consultation. The majority of the respondents, 188 (55.7%) had been using phosphodiesterase Type 5 without any medical evidence of Erectile Dysfunction as indicated by themselves, which is statistically significant (p ≤ 0.005). It was found that 115 (34.1%) of the respondents were not aware of the side effects. The correlation between satisfaction of sexual performance before and after using is (rho. = 0.516) and is highly significant (p < 0.001). There is an obvious misuse of oral phospho- diesterase type 5 inhibitors in the Jeddah community.
First report of Neospora caninum infection in pigs in China

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Neospora caninum is a protozoan parasite which can infect many mammals and birds with a worldwide distribution. However, no molecular data are available about the occurrence of N. caninum in pigs. In this study, the serological and molecular prevalence of N. caninum infection in farmed pigs were investigated in Hunan province, China, between January 2017 and December 2018. A total of 1,500 serum samples collected from 10 herds in Hunan province were evaluated using a competitive-inhibition enzyme-linked immunoassay assay (cELISA). The overall seroprevalence of N. caninum in the examined pigs was 1.9%. The seroprevalence of N. caninum ranged from 0.3% to 4.6% among different regions in Hunan province of China (p < .05). DNA was extracted from brain samples, and the Nc-5 gene and ITS-1 region were amplified and then sequenced. Three (0.5%) of the examined 600 brain tissues were found to contain N. caninum DNA. Our phylogenetic analyses indicated that N. caninum samples were classified into two distinct groups. Although the prevalence is low within the pig groups investigated, our results revealed the emergence of N. caninum infection in pigs in China. The finding of the present study provides molecular evidence that the pigs are the natural intermediate host of N. caninum and may have major epidemiological importance.
Assessment of alexithymia : self-report and observer-rated measures

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Since the formulation of the alexithymia construct in the mid-1970s (Nemiah, Freyberger, &amp; Sifneos, 1976), there has been controversy over its measurement. Several measures have been developed, including observer-rated questionnaires, self-report scales, projective techniques, and a Q-sort (Block, 1961/1978). Some of the self-report scales, such as the Schalling-Sifneos Personality Scales (Apfel &amp; Sifneos, 1979; Sifneos, 1986) and the MMPI Alexithymia Scale (Kleiger &amp; Kinsman, 1980), were constructed hastily and with little concern for standard methods of test construction. Not surprisingly, subsequent investigations found that these scales lack adequate reliability and validity (see Taylor, Bagby, &amp; Parker, 1997). Although several investigators have used the Rorschach and/or the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) to assess various facets of the alexithymia construct, there is little empirical support for the reliability and validity of these methods. Since most of the measures of alexithymia have been reviewed previously (Linden et al., 1995; Taylor &amp; Bagby, 1988; Taylor et al., 1997), we will focus this chapter on the self-report Twenty-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (Bagby, Parker, &amp; Taylor, 1994a), which has become the most widely used measure of the construct.

Reconsidering Physics Education for better understanding of modern physics

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract Most current educational presentations of quantum physics still propose the same difficulties that emerged in the early twentieth century, often as a mean to engage students. Those difficulties emerged among physicists mostly because the lack of a suitable meaning of what “reality” has to be considered. Instead of engaging students, those difficulties leave them confused because they lack the awareness of what a physical theory is and its relationship with the experiments. We will discuss this problem, both from the epistemological and the educational point of view and give indications to provide an increasingly solid foundation for the educational reconstructions of quantum physics starting from classical physics that must be reconsidered in view of the final objective rather than opposing it to modern physics.

Chemical Investigation of the Indonesian Tunicate Polycarpa aurata and Evaluation of the Effects Against Schistosoma mansoni of the Novel Alkaloids Polyaurines A and B

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

A deep study of the metabolic content of the tunicate Polycarpa aurata, collected from Indonesian coast, afforded the isolation of two novel alkaloids, polyaurines A (1) and B (2), along with two new p-substituted benzoyl derivatives (3 and 4) and four known compounds (5–8). The structural elucidation of the new secondary metabolites was assigned by 1D, 2D NMR, and HRESIMS techniques. Computational studies resulted a useful tool to unambiguously determine in polyaurine B the presence of rarely found 1,2,4-thiadiazole ring. The effects of polyaurines A and B on mammalian cells growth and on the viability of different blood-dwelling Schistosoma mansoni (phylum: Platyhelminthes) stages, as well as egg production, were evaluated. Both compounds resulted not cytotoxic; interestingly some of the eggs produced by polyaurine A-treated adult pairs in vitro are smaller, deformed, and/or fragmented; therefore, polyaurine A could represent an interesting bioactive natural molecule to be further investigated.
