Dynamics of Family and Elderly Living Arrangements in China: New Lessons Learned from the

The analysis in this article is based on micro data sets of the Chinese 2000, 1990, and 1982 censuses. The percentage of three-generation family households in 2000 increased considerably as compared to 1990 and 1982; the proportion of two-generation nuclear family households substantially dropped by about 17% in 2000 as compared to 1990. Such change, however, does not mean that Chinese families are returning to the more traditional structure. This is mainly caused by the demographic effects: given that most old parents still live with one married child (although declining), generations born after the early 1970s who have

Involvement of Ceramides in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Atherosclerosis (ATS) Development: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and atherosclerosis (ATS) are worldwide known diseases with increased incidence and prevalence. These two are driven and are interconnected by multiple oxidative and metabolic functions such as lipotoxicity. A gamut of evidence suggests that sphingolipids (SL), such as ceramides, account for much of the tissue damage. Although in humans they are proving to be accurate biomarkers of adverse cardiovascular disease outcomes and NAFLD progression, in rodents, pharmacological inhibition or depletion of enzymes driving de novo ceramide synthesis prevents the development of metabolic driven diseases such as diabetes, ATS, and hepatic steatosis. In this narrative review, we discuss the pathways which generate the ceramide synthesis, the potential use of circulating ceramides as novel biomarkers in the development and progression of ATS and related diseases, and their potential use as therapeutic targets in NAFDL-ATS development which can further provide new clues in this field.

Late dental effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in childhood cancer survivor: case report

Chemotherapy drugs and radiotherapy in the head and neck region are considered possible to interfere with odontogenesis. Patients may present alterations such as tooth agenesis, shortening or root malformation, enamel hypoplasia and microdontia. Such effects do not occur in adults, as they already have the dental structures formed. The objective of this study is to describe, through a case report, the dental alterations and implications for the clinical practice of a patient who received chemotherapy and radiotherapy in childhood. A 12- year-old female patient was diagnosed with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma in the right parotid gland region at 5 years of age. Antineoplastic treatment consisted of IRS IV chemotherapy protocol: ifosfamide (IFO) - doxorubicin (DOXO) - etoposide (VP16) followed by vincristine - dactinomycin - cyclophosphamide (VAC) / vincristine - ifosfamide - etoposide (VIE) alternated, in addition to conventional radiotherapy, with a total dose of 45 Gy. The patient developed important dental alterations, such as root malformation in most teeth, microdontia and enamel hypoplasia, being essential the role of the dentist. Currently, after 6 years of anticancer treatment, she has regular dental follow-up.

Predictors and reasons for starting and sustaining quit attempts in a national cohort of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander smokers

Abstract Introduction and Aims The national prevalence of daily smoking among the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population is 39% but falling. We explore factors associated with starting and sustaining quit attempts, and reasons given for quitting. Design and Methods We analysed data from the nationally representative quota sample of 759 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults who reported smoking at least weekly in the Talking About The Smokes baseline survey (April 2012–October 2013) who completed a follow‐up survey a year later (August 2013–August 2014). Results Having made more quit attempts, more recent quit attempts in the past, motivational attitudes, having been encouraged to quit by a health professional and having noticed tobacco advertising were associated with making a quit attempt between surveys. Having made longer quit attempts in the past, non‐daily smoking and quit self‐efficacy were associated with sustaining abstinence. But neither having made more quit attempts in the past nor dependence was associated with sustaining abstinence. Health concerns, price and setting an example to children were the most common reasons given by smokers and ex‐smokers for quitting. Discussion and Conclusions Different factors predict making and sustaining quit attempts among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander smokers. We need to rethink current messages that just encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander smokers to keep making quit attempts by increasing motivation to quit, as motivation and making more quit attempts does not predict eventual success. We could focus more on increasing smokers’ confidence that they can successfully quit.

Identification of Arabidopsis guard cell CO2 signalling mutants using infrared thermography.

Stomata are pores on leaf surfaces that regulate gas exchange and close in response to elevated concentrations of atmospheric CO2. We are interested in identifying components involved in this signalling pathway and have used an infrared thermal imaging camera to screen 20,000 plants from an Arabidopsis EMS M2 population to identify mutants with an abnormal response to a short-term exposure to elevated CO2. In a specially constructed Teflon covered chamber plants were subjected to a period at ambient [CO2] (360 ppm) after which a thermal image was taken and then to a period at elevated [CO2] (up to 1400 ppm) after which another thermal image was taken. Comparing leaf temperature at ambient and elevated CO2 was possible to detect 72 mutants with abnormal leaf temperature. From the 41 fertile lines (M3) we selected three lines with the stronger phenotype:two are recessive mutations, while one is a dominant. One of the recessive mutations has a leaf temperature higher then wild type at ambient CO2 concentration (360 ppm) suggesting that the stomata are more closed then in wild type plants. The other two mutants have leaf temperature cooler then wild type and remain so at elevated CO2 (1500 ppm) suggesting the inability of the stomata to close as they do in the wild type plants.

Time-domain test for material electromagnetic pulse shielding effectiveness based on shielding black-box windows method

In order to remedy the deficiencies of time-domain test methods of shielding effectiveness (SE) of materials in common use, a method called windowed semi-anechoic box is used for time-domain test of the SE of materials. The impact of such factors on test results as the position of test points, box size, window size, thickness and conductivity of materials, etc., is analyzed in frequency-domain. The impact of the position of test point on peak ratio SE and the ratio of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) rise time unloaded and loaded materials against different rise time of EMP is analyzed in time-domain, in order to get some recommendations for the use of the method of windowed semi-anechoic box. The results show that the method of windowed semi-anechoic box can be used to distinguish the shielding performance of different materials for each frequency component and to evaluate the overall protection performance of materials against EMP.

395 A Prospective Evaluation of Diabetic Patients Receiving Inflatable Penile Prosthesis

The rising incidence of diabetes in the United States among men, along with the increasing severity of erectile dysfunction (ED) among this subset of patients has raised several concerns for the treating physician. The severity of this co-morbidity has important implications for patient selection and counseling and raises the question of whether this increased risk can be mitigated further by prolonged optimization of glycemic control prior to surgery. The aim of this study was to further evaluate whether prolonged glycemic control has any effect on overall inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) infection. From April to June 2019 all patients undergoing "de novo" IPP surgery with prior history of diabetes were invited to participate in this study. All diabetic patients were identified from our institutional database, and had HgA1c recorded prior to surgery, as well as basic patient history and comorbidity status. All patients had immediate preoperative blood glucose of less than 215mg/dl and underwent an infrapubic placement of an IPP. For the purpose of this study, patients were only followed for post-operative metrics of wound closure, infection, pain and swelling.

A Generalized Framework on Beamformer Design and CSI Acquisition for\n Single-Carrier Massive MIMO Systems in Millimeter Wave Channels

In this paper, we establish a general framework on the reduced dimensional\nchannel state information (CSI) estimation and pre-beamformer design for\nfrequency-selective massive multiple-input multiple-output MIMO systems\nemploying single-carrier (SC) modulation in time division duplex (TDD) mode by\nexploiting the joint angle-delay domain channel sparsity in millimeter (mm)\nwave frequencies. First, based on a generic subspace projection taking the\njoint angle-delay power profile and user-grouping into account, the reduced\nrank minimum mean square error (RR-MMSE) instantaneous CSI estimator is derived\nfor spatially correlated wideband MIMO channels. Second, the statistical\npre-beamformer design is considered for frequency-selective SC massive MIMO\nchannels. We examine the dimension reduction problem and subspace (beamspace)\nconstruction on which the RR-MMSE estimation can be realized as accurately as\npossible. Finally, a spatio-temporal domain correlator type reduced rank\nchannel estimator, as an approximation of the RR-MMSE estimate, is obtained by\ncarrying out least square (LS) estimation in a proper reduced dimensional\nbeamspace. It is observed that the proposed techniques show remarkable\nrobustness to the pilot interference (or contamination) with a significant\nreduction in pilot overhead.\n

Digital Perfectionism and Its Negative Impacts on Generation Z

media and the coming of Generation Z. This form of perfectionism stems from the continuous effort to present a flawless image of oneself online—an image that often differs greatly from reality. Research shows that digital perfectionism is associated with increased anxiety, lowered self-esteem, distorted self-image, and weakened social relationships. This paper aims to explore the psychological and social consequences of this phenomenon among Generation Z by analyzing existing data and reviewing theoretical background. In the conclusion, practical recommendations for combating digital perfectionism through media literacy education and promoting self-acceptance are offered.

[Epidemiological aspects of congenital stridor].

The objective of the present work was to study epidemiology of congenital stridor as a leading symptom of laryngeal malformation. The continuous sampling method was employed to perform the retrospective analysis of the growth charts of the patients attending three children's polyclinics in Moscow (9.625 patients born between 2005 and 2009). In addition, the medical histories of 4.623 newborn and breast-fed babies under the age of 1 year admitted to the Department of Newborn and Neonatal Pathology, Saint Vladimir City Children's Clinical Hospital, and 347 patients of the Department of Reconstructive Laryngeal Surgery were analysed. The children with the history of tracheal intubation in the preceding period were excluded from the study. The frequency of congenital stridor annually diagnosed in the aforementioned polyclinics varied from 0.17 to 5.8% compared with 1.5% in the general population. It was 2.21 to 3.14% (mean 2.47%) among the children treated at the Clinical Hospital. In the children under the age of 1 year, congenital malformations accounted for 90.8% of all laryngeal diseases. The principal cause of stridor was shown to be laryngomalacia. This pathology was diagnosed in 91.9% of the cases included in this study. In 11.2% of the patients, this condition occurred in combination with other congenital pathologies. It is concluded that the diagnosis of congenital stridor is an indication for laryngeal endoscopy regardless of the children's age starting from the first day of life. Meeting this recommendation allows the cause of stridor to be established and the treatment strategy to be developed on an individual basis.

Statistical Methodological Issues in Handling of Fatty Acid Data: Percentage or Concentration, Imputation and Indices

Abstract Basic aspects in the handling of fatty acid‐data have remained largely underexposed. Of these, we aimed to address three statistical methodological issues, by quantitatively exemplifying their imminent confounding impact on analytical outcomes: (1) presenting results as relative percentages or absolute concentrations, (2) handling of missing/non‐detectable values, and (3) using structural indices for data‐reduction. Therefore, we reanalyzed an example dataset containing erythrocyte fatty acid‐concentrations of 137 recurrently depressed patients and 73 controls. First, correlations between data presented as percentages and concentrations varied for different fatty acids, depending on their correlation with the total fatty acid‐concentration. Second, multiple imputation of non‐detects resulted in differences in significance compared to zero‐substitution or omission of non‐detects. Third, patients' chain length‐, unsaturation‐, and peroxidation‐indices were significantly lower compared to controls, which corresponded with patterns interpreted from individual fatty acid tests. In conclusion, results from our example dataset show that statistical methodological choices can have a significant influence on outcomes of fatty acid analysis, which emphasizes the relevance of: (1) hypothesis‐based fatty acid‐presentation (percentages or concentrations), (2) multiple imputation, preventing bias introduced by non‐detects; and (3) the possibility of using (structural) indices, to delineate fatty acid‐patterns thereby preventing multiple testing.

Acyl Carrier Protein

Abstract β-Hydroxyacyl acyl carrier protein (ACP) dehydrase has been purified 2900-fold from extracts of Escherichia coli. The enzyme catalyzes the reversible dehydration of β-hydroxyacyl-ACP thioesters to yield specifically trans-2-enoyl-ACP products. It is active with trans-2-enoyl-ACP thioesters of chain lengths from 4 through 16 carbon atoms. The enzyme catalyzes the hydration of cis-5-trans-2-dodecadienoyl-ACP, an intermediate in unsaturated fatty acid synthesis, as well as the trans-2-enoyl-ACP substrates that are intermediates in saturated fatty acid synthesis. Thus this enzyme can function in the synthesis of both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The lowest enzyme activity was noted with trans-2-decenoyl-ACP. The relevance of this finding with respect to the activity of β-hydroxydecanoyl thioester dehydrase, which specifically catalyzes the conversion of β-hydroxydecanoyl-ACP to cis-3-decenoyl-ACP is discussed as a possible factor in control of saturated versus unsaturated fatty acid synthesis. Attempts to separate or to show distinguishing characteristics of β-hydroxyacyl-ACP dehydrase activities with short, medium, or long chain substrates were unsuccessful, and these activities are therefore attributed to a single enzyme.
