Decrease in hypothalamic norepinephrine content following renal denervation in the one-kidney, one clip Goldblatt hypertensive rat.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Peripheral and central sympathetic mechanisms have been shown to contribute to the development and maintenance of increased blood pressure in the one-kidney model of renal hypertension in the rat.Previous studies from our laboratory have demonstrated that the renal sympathetic nerves, in particular, contribute to the maintenance of hypertension in this model.In those studies, renal denervation, performed 2 weeks after renal artery clipping, resulted in a significant decrement in blood pressure that was associated with a decrease in peripheral sympathetic activity.To further define the role of the renal nerves in the pathogenesis of hypertension in this model, we determined the systolic blood pressure and norepinephrine and dopamine content of the hypothalamus, midbrain, pons medulla, and spinal cord at 1 week following renal denervation or sham operation of rats with early established one-kidney one clip hypertension.Age-matched uninephrectomized rats were controls.The blood pressure of denervated animals decreased significantly from 189 ± 9.21 to 151 ± 6.5 mm Hg (p < 0.001), while that of sham-operated animals did not change.Hypothalamic norepinephrine content of sham-operated animals was significantly greater than that of controls (2.24 ± 0.8 Mg/g sham vs 1.84 ± 0.12 Mg/g controls, p < 0.01).Renal denervation resulted in a decrease in hypothalamic norepinephrine content to control levels (1.72 ± 0.11 Mg/g)-There was a significant (r = 0.65, p < 0.01) positive correlation between systolic blood pressure and hypothalamic norepinephrine content of renaldenervated and sham-operated animals.The norepinephrine content of other brain regions was not different between groups.The results suggest that the renal nerves contribute to the maintenance of hypertension in the one-kidney one clip rat by modulating central sympathetic nervous system activity.(Hypertension 4: 369-373, 1982) KEY WORDS • renal hypertension • renal afferent nerves • central noradrenergic nervous systemE VIDENCE from a number of laboratories indicates that increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system is important in the pathogenesis of hypertension in the one-kidney one clip Goldblatt model of renal hypertension in the rat. 1 " 14 Plasma norepinephrine, used as an index of peripheral sympathetic activity, has been found to be

Practical Formula of the Shape Evolution of a Surface Crack Under Fatigue Loading

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Fatigue life estimation for planar cracks, e.g. part-through surface cracks or embedded cracks is very important because most of fatigue cracks found in welded built-up structures show planar crack morphologies. Although authors had proposed the estimation procedure of crack shape evolution for a planar crack based on the fracture mechanics approach, this method cannot apply if the values of stress intensity factor at the vertices of the surface crack approximated as an ellipse cannot calculated. Then, development of the shape evolution procedure of a planer crack under the stress field with arbitrary gradient, because fatigue cracks in welded built-up structures exist near the stress concentrated region. A Practical estimation formula the shape evolution of a surface crack under stress field with the gradient is proposed in this study. This formula is established by considering the stress field under no crack condition and some former proposed formulae under uniform and pure bending stress fields. The validity of the proposed formula are confirmed by comparing some measured surface crack shape evolutions under some stress gradient conditions.

Essential Oil Quality and Yield with Respect to Harvest Index inTagetes minutaCultivated in Sub Tropical Plains of North India

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Abstract Planned studies were carried out to determine the most appropriate stage of economic harvest in Tagetes minuta by examining dry matter partitioning, essential oil yield and quality of oil at different growth stages grown in Lucknow conditions at the Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, Lucknow, India, during winter season 2002–2003. The maximum essential oil yield (1.01 g/plant and 56.1 kg/ha) was obtained upon harvesting at post fowering stage (seed setting stage). Advantage in essential oil yield at this stage was 130%, 34.5% and 36.5% yield enhancement over pre-flowering, 50% and 100% flowering stages, respectively. Flowers and leaves contained the maximum essential oil 2.14% and 1.89% (dry weight basis), respectively. Relative contribution of leaf, flower and stem to essential oil production was 40.7%, 37.8% and 21.5%, respectively. In the oil quality analysis, dihydrotagetone (77.1%) was the predominant component in oil from the leaves while (Z)-β-ocimene, limonene and (Z)-tagetone were the major constituents in the flower oil. The study suggests that T. minuta should be harvested at the post-flowering stage for realizing maximum essential oil yield and its desirable major chemical constituents. The study also differentiated the quality of leaf and fower oil for chemical constituents.

Preparation of CO2 responsive cellulose composite adsorbent and its application in protein separation

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The separation of the proteins is of great theoretical and practical importance for biotechnological application. Considering the requirement of non‐destructive separation, the stimulus–response method is an alternative to the separation of protein. In this work, a cellulose‐based composite with CO 2 stimulus–response property is prepared by a simple coprecipitation of poly ( N , N ˊ‐diethylamino ethyl methacrylate)‐ co ‐poly (hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PDH) and cellulose mixture solution. Subsequently, these composites as the adsorption medium are used to separate the bovine serum albumin (BSA, as the model protein) from solution through stimulus–response course (by CO 2 /N 2 alternation). The results indicate that the ratio of the copolymers/cellulose composite have an obvious effect on the separation of BSA. The average maximum adsorption capacity can get to 562.6 mg/g, and the composites exhibits good adsorption/desorption cycling characteristics. After the composite materials are cycled for three times, the adsorption capacity can still decrease to 300 mg/g. Due to its high adsorption capacity and low preparation cost, the composite is expected to be widely used in industry.

The correlation between flavor formation and microbial community dynamics during the fermentation of zha cai

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Background Zha cai, a pickled vegetable with unique flavors, is produced by fermenting fresh mustard tubers. In this study, the main physicochemical indices and volatile flavor compounds were determined in three fermentation periods. The bacterial and fungal communities in the three fermentation periods of zha cai were also monitored using high‐throughput sequencing. Key microbial communities were identified based on significant correlations with flavor substances. Results Firmicutes and Proteobacteria were the main bacterial phyla found within the three fermentation periods. Lactic acid bacteria, namely Lactobacillus , was the predominant bacteria found at the genus level. Ascomycetes and Stenotrophomonas were the major fungal phyla found in the three fermentation periods. Yeast, namely Debaryomyces , was the predominant fungus found at the genus level. A total of 42 bacterial genera were negatively correlated with volatile flavor substances of zha cai , and 37 bacterial genera were positively correlated. Meanwhile, a total of 47 genera of fungi were negatively correlated with the volatile flavor substances of zha cai , while 50 genera were positively correlated. Several microbial genera were significantly correlated with volatile flavor compounds, including Lactobacillus , Halomonas , Rhodococcus , and Debaryomyces . Conclusion This study identified the microbial classes that positively regulate the flavor of zha cai which could provide valuable help for flavor modulation in zha cai production. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
JET LUMINOSITY OF GAMMA-RAY BURSTS: THE BLANDFORD–ZNAJEK MECHANISM VERSUS THE NEUTRINO ANNIHILATION PROCESS

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

A neutrino-dominated accretion flow (NDAF) around a rotating stellar-mass\nblack hole (BH) is one of the plausible candidates for the central engine of\ngamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Two mechanisms, i.e., Blandford-Znajek (BZ) mechanism\nand neutrino annihilation process, are generally considered to power GRBs.\nUsing the analytic solutions from Xue et al. (2013) and ignoring the effects of\nthe magnetic field configuration, we estimate the BZ and neutrino annihilation\nluminosities as the functions of the disk masses and BH spin parameters to\ncontrast the observational jet luminosities of GRBs. The results show that,\nalthough the neutrino annihilation processes could account for most of GRBs,\nthe BZ mechanism is more effective, especially for long-duration GRBs.\nActually, if the energy of afterglows and flares of GRBs is included, the\ndistinction between these two mechanisms is more significant. Furthermore,\nmassive disk mass and high BH spin are beneficial to power high luminosities of\nGRBs. Finally, we discuss possible physical mechanisms to enhance the disk mass\nor the neutrino emission rate of NDAFs and relevant difference between these\ntwo mechanisms.\n

Information Technology and Administrative Reform

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article examines the theoretical ideal of information technology as an instrument of administrative reform and examines the extent to which that ideal has been achieved in the United States. It takes a look at the findings from research about the use and impacts of information technology from the time of the mainframe computer through the PC revolution to the current era of the Internet and e-government. It then concludes that information technology has never been an instrument of administrative reform; rather, it has been used to reinforce existing administrative and political arrangements. It assesses why this is the case and draws conclusions about what should be expected with future applications of information technologies — in the time after e-government. It concludes with a discussion of the early evidence about newer applications for automated service delivery, 24/7 e-government, and e-democracy.
Genetic-Based Active Disturbance Rejection Controller for Super-Heated Steam Temperature Regulation

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

There are many complex industrial processes with highly nonlinear and uncertain characteristics which are generally difficult to control by well known PID controllers. Active disturbance rejection control (ADRC), a relatively recent nonlinear control method, is an alternative framework which has the advantages on simple algorithm, strong robustness, and less dependence on the mathematical models of the plant. However, owing to the large number of free control parameters for ARDC, the design is not straightforward, i.e., the proper state observer gains are mostly done on a trial and error basis. In this paper, a genetic based new design scheme is proposed, and a digital control solution to super-heated steam temperature regulation of a thermal power plant is presented. For comparison purposes, a PID cascade controller is considered as a base line. The simulation experiments of robustness tests and disturbance rejection tests have proved that the proposed method has outstanding adaptability to the variety of operating regime, can effectively estimate and compensate the plant perturbations of parameters and external disturbances in the regulation system.
Liquid operating TPoS MEMS resonators with high quality factor

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this work, we proposed a liquid operating TPoS MEMS resonators with on-chip dummy resonator patterns. The fabricated plate type resonators achieve high Q factors in length extensional mode under vacuum, air and liquid environment. With the proposed on-chip dummy resonator patterns, the anti-resonance peak near the resonant frequency was effectively cancelled and Q factors were improved. A resonator with 400 μm and 600 μm plate length shows a Q factor of 10,072 and 14,435, respectively, under 1.0 mTorr. Q factors in liquid phase were measured 71 and 98 in Ethanol, respectively. It was also confirmed that the Q factors in liquid phase varied with the types of liquids (according to their viscosity and density).
New measure of catastrophic health expenditures with application on rural Egypt

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Reducing Out-of-pocket (OOP) health payments is an essential element to protect households from financial risks and eradicate extreme poverty. This paper aimed to provide a new approach for measuring catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) by redefining subsistence spending to comprise the minimum acceptable level of all necessities. The new approach defined OOP health expenditures as catastrophic payments if they undermine a household’s ability to maintain essential needs that are not limited to food needs as assumed by the Capacity to pay (CTP) approach. The equivalence scale is estimated to reflect the dominant consumption patterns and the Cost of Basic Need Approach (CBN) is employed to measure the subsistence spending. We estimated the burden of OOP health payment on household living standards in rural Egypt using data from Household Income, Expenditure, and Consumption Survey in 2015. Rural areas exhibited a considerable incidence of catastrophic payments. Redefining subsistence spending better detected the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure among poor households. The distribution of CHE became highly regressive and demonstrated that catastrophic payments are more concentrated among poor households. Although poor households have incurred relatively small health payments compared to wealthy ones, this has threatened their standard of living. The highest incidence rates of CHE were also observed among uneducated, unemployed, female, elderly heads, among households with chronically ill members, and those who experienced outpatient services. The poor performance of the health insurance system in protecting vulnerable groups from catastrophic payments creates a critical need to redesign its policies and improve its service quality.

Chronic Meningitis: A study on epidemiological and clinical findings, treatment results and prognosis of 97 patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Central nervous system’s disorders including chronic meningitis (CM) have considerable mortality and irreversible complications, and diagnosis and treatment of CM is difficult. In this retrospective study we reviwed epidemiological and clinical findings, treatment results and prognostic factors of 97 patients with CM admitted in Imam Khomeini hospital for the last 10 years. Important etiological factors in this study included: Mycobacterium Tuberculousis (8.2%) Brucellae SP (5.2%), malignancies (1%) and unknown (85.5%); the sexual ratio was 2:1 (Male/Female) and the most common clinical manifestations were: fever, headache, cranial and motor neuron involvement, seizure and ataxia. Treatment regimens used included antituberculosis agents with or witout corticosteroids, in which the prognosis was better in patients who had been treated with antituberculosis agents alone. The mortality rate was 22.7%, which was in accordance with other studies. We suggest using of antituberculosis treatment alone in comparison with antituberculosis and corticosteroid. Last but not least a double blind randomized clinical trial for a longer period is needed to further substantiate the results of this study.
Curative resection of bladder cancer with pancreas head metastasis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Bladder cancer is the 9th most frequent cancer worldwide. Its incidence is increasing. The pancreas is an infrequent site of metastasis in relation to any type of malignancy. In this study, we report our experience with a patient who has undergone a pancreaticoduodenectomy for metastatic bladder cancer. A 61-year-old male was admitted with jaundice and pancreas head mass. He underwent robot assisted-cystectomy and ileal conduit for bladder cancer 7 months ago. Initial diagnosis under the imaging study was a resectable pancreas head cancer. However, we did not rule-out a metastatic bladder cancer. He underwent a classic pancreaticoduodenectomy. Based on histologic findings and immunohistochemistry results, a pancreas tumor with 4.9-cm sized metastatic urothelial carcinoma was diagnosed. He experienced no complication. He was discharged 11 days after the surgery. Four cycles of gemcitabine and cisplatin were administered. He remained recurrence-free of tumors for 16 months. Although the benefit of pancreatectomy for patient survival has been reported for metastases from renal cell carcinoma, it is unknown for bladder cancer because of no report. We believe that curative resection for metastasis to pancreas of urothelial carcinoma might be helpful for its management.
