[ "Management of lymph nodes during resection of hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: a systematic review.", "\nThe role of lymph node dissection (LND) in the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains controversial. ", "We sought to systematically review all available evidence to determine the role of LND in patients with HCC and ICC. ", "Studies that reported on LND, lymph node metastasis (LNM), and short- and long-term outcomes for patients with HCC or ICC survival were identified from PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. ", "Data were extracted, synthesized, and analyzed using standard techniques. ", "A total of 603 and 434 references were identified for HCC and ICC, respectively. ", "Among HCC patients, the overall prevalence of LND was 51.6 % (95 % confidence interval (CI) 19.7-83.5) with an associated LNM incidence of 44.5 % (95 % CI 27.4-61.7). ", "LNM was associated with a 3- and 5-year survival of 27.5 and 20.8 %, respectively. ", "Among ICC patients, most patients 78.5 % (95 % CI 76.2-80.7) underwent LND; 45.2 % (95 % CI 39.2-51.2) had LNM. ", "Three and 5-year survival among ICC patients with LNM was 0.2 % (95 % CI 0-0.7) and 0 %, respectively. ", "While there are insufficient data to recommend a routine LND in all patients with HCC or ICC, the potential prognostic value of LND suggests that LND should at least be considered at the time of surgery." ]

", "The imine pKa of MCAs is 4.8, and it exists predominantly in the Schiff base (SB) form at physiological pH. Due to the absence of a resonating positive charge, it absorbs at a relatively short wavelength and is essentially nonfluorescent. ", "Upon selective binding to reduced bovine serum albumin (rBSA, selected as the model protein), MCAs was brought from aqueous media to the binding pockets of the protein, causing a large increase in pKa value of MCAs (pKa = 7.1). ", "As a result, an increase in the protonated Schiff base (PSB) form of MCAs was observed at the physiological pH conditions, which in turn leads to a bathochromically shifted chromophore (λabs = 634 nm) and a significant increase in fluorescence intensity (λem = 657 nm) simultaneously. ", "Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the salt bridges formed between the iminium in MCAs and the residues D72 and D517 in rBSA resist the dissociation of proton from the probe, thus inducing an increase of the pKa value. ", "The proposed probe shows excellent sensitivity and specificity toward VDPs over other proteins and biologically relevant species and has been successfully applied for imaging of VDPs in living cells.

Circuit Court threatened to upend the CFPB, which was created as part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law. ", "There, judges ruled that it was unconstitutional to grant a single director, serving a five-year term, protection from presidential removal.", "\n\nWednesday’s decision did have good news for PHH with the court reinstating an earlier ruling throwing out the $109 million fine the CFPB levied against PHH, which was the catalyst for the lawsuit. ", "Judges previously determined the CFPB overstepped its bounds in assessing that fine.", "\n\nIn its statement, PHH said that decision was “an important and gratifying outcome.”", "\n\nMulvaney’s appointment to the job set off a controversy when English, chosen by outgoing CFPB director Richard Cordray as his replacement, filed suit to bar Mulvaney from taking the job.

[ "Fred Roots\n\nErnest Frederick \"Fred\" Roots (5 July 1923 – 18 October 2016) was a Canadian geologist, polar explorer, educator and public servant. ", "After graduating with undergraduate and master's degrees in geology from the University of British Columbia and a doctorate from Princeton University, Roots joined the Scott Polar Research Institute and was appointed Chief Geologist for the 1949 to 1952 Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition. ", "During the expedition, in addition to ground-breaking geological and glaciological research studies, he made a 189-day, unsupported dog sled journey across the continent; a record that still stood at the time of his death over six decades later. ", "On his return to Canada he joined the Geological Survey of Canada with whom he served as a field geologist until 1958, when he left to help found the Polar Continental Shelf Program. ", "After 14 years with PCSP, Roots left to act as science advisor to the newly created federal Department of the Environment, where he remained on staff until 1989. ", "After retirement, Roots remained an active participant in polar research, and also became a key mentor within the Students on Ice educational program. ", "He continued to participate in expeditions for Students on Ice well into his tenth decade, his last being to Greenland only two months before his death.", "\n\nEarly life\n\nFred Roots was born in Salmon Arm, in the Shuswap Country of southern British Columbia, Canada, on 5 July 1923. ", "He was the second child of Margaret and Ernest Roots. ", "His father was an engineer with the Canadian Pacific Railway, and while Fred was a small child the family moved to Banff, Alberta, when Ernest was appointed Chief Engineer at the company's Banff Springs Hotel. ", "As a result, Roots spent much of his childhood surrounded by the high ranges of the Canadian Rockies. ", "Growing up among the mountains instilled in Roots a lasting love of outdoor exploration and geology.", "\n\nHowever, when Roots was only eight years old his father died from typhoid fever, leaving his mother to bring up the family's three children on her own. ", "As a young high school student Roots was appointed as an assistant meteorological observer for the Banff National Park. ", "His duties involved climbing to the summit of a mountain within the park, to service the weather observation station located there. ", "Later in his high school career he moved west to Vancouver, and completed his schooling at Vancouver Technical College.", "\n\nDuring the Second World War he was a student the University of British Columbia, from where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in geological engineering. ", "He remained at the same institution to continue his postgraduate education, and completed a master's degree thesis on the geology of the Aiken Lake map-area, in the Cassiar Mountains of northern British Columbia, in 1947. ", "It was during this work that he first became involved with the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), as he worked alongside the survey's staff geologist J.E. Armstrong to map the mineral-rich district. ", "The same district provided the subject matter for his doctoral research which followed at Princeton University, from where he graduated with a Ph.D. degree in 1950.", "\n\nPolar and Himalayan exploration\n\nIn 1949, at the age of 26, Roots was appointed Chief Geologist for the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition, the first exploratory expedition to Antarctica to involve an international team of scientists. ", "Roots's role was to study the geology of Queen Maud Land, which he showed was a conjugate part of and had once been attached to the east coast of southern Africa. ", "In addition to his geological observations, Roots also helped to show that the glaciers of Antarctica had once been much more extensive, and that the phenomenon of climate change was a global effect and not limited to discrete locations. ", "During the course of the expedition, Roots undertook a 189-day, unsupported dog sled journey across the continent. ", "This feat of endurance remained a record even at the time of his death, over six decades later. ", "For the rest of his life, Roots regularly wore a belt made from leather taken from the traces of his lead dog of that expedition, Rachel.", "\n\nPublic service\n\nFollowing his return from the southern hemisphere in 1952, Roots completed the remainder of his fellowship at the Scott Polar Research Institute at Cambridge University. ", "It was during this time that he met and fell in love with one of the Institute's librarians, June Blomfield, herself a highly educated geographer and passionate outdoorswoman.", "\n\nGeological Survey of Canada\nAt the end of his fellowship in Cambridge, Roots was appointed as a field geologist with the GSC, based at the survey's head office in Ottawa, Ontario. ", "His first major publication for the survey in 1953 was essentially a reworking of his extensive research in the Cassiar Mountains, conducted during his MSc and PhD studies, but he rapidly became a part of the GSC's active field research programs at the time. ", "Fred and June eventually married in 1955, and June moved out to Canada to be with her new husband.", "\n\nUnder Y.O. Fortier, he was co-leader of the GSC's Operation Franklin in 1955, that first established the potential for economic petroleum deposits in the high Arctic islands of Canada. ", "Between 1956 and 1958 Roots was, in turn, head of Operation Stikine, the GSC's first systematic attempt to map the geology of the northern portion of the Canadian Cordillera of British Columbia and Yukon.", "\n\nPolar Continental Shelf Program\nIn 1958, Roots left the GSC to become the founding head of the Government of Canada's new Polar Continental Shelf Program (PCSP). ", "PCSP was set up to promote research in Canada's Arctic north, principally by providing logistical and practical support for government and academic scientists active in the area, and Roots had largely been responsible for conceiving of and establishing the novel organization. ", "During his time with PCSP, Roots was a key part of the team that outlined the need for a permanent establishment to conduct research on the icefields of the Kluane National Park of southwest Yukon, part of the largest non-polar icefield in the world. ", "In the years that followed, the Kluane Lake Research Station also became a hub for exploration across Canada's north, and Roots himself used it as a base from which to organize expeditions through the Saint Elias Mountains, Canada's highest mountain range, as part of the Canadian Centennial celebrations in 1967. ", "Roots served as head of PCSP for 14 years, until 1971, when he left to join what was to eventually become Environment Canada.", "\n\nDepartment of the Environment\nAt the time, the newly established government department was in a state of flux. ", "As science advisor to the Minister of the Environment, Roots was instrumental in helping design the department's structure and objectives, and has been credited with giving it \"the scientific credibility, the moral authority and knowledge that enabled it to play its role.\" ", "He remained with Environment Canada until his retirement from public service in 1989, and subsequently retained a role with the department as an emeritus scientist and advisor until 2003.", "\n\nLife after retirement\n\nFollowing his retirement, Roots and his wife moved back to British Columbia from their home in Gatineau, Quebec.", "\n\nIn the mid-1990s, at a meeting of the Canadian Polar Commission in Ottawa, Roots met explorer and educator Geoff Green. ", "At the time, Green was attempting to launch a new educational initiative aimed at providing opportunities for secondary school students to visit and explore polar regions. ", "The scheme, Students on Ice, struck a chord with Roots and he agreed to support its formation. ", "Green has credited Roots with being one of the program's \"founding fathers\". ", "Over the following two decades, Roots participated in many polar expeditions for Students on Ice, and acted as a mentor to hundreds of students from around the world.", "\n\nRoots's final Arctic exploration was as part of a Students on Ice expedition to Greenland in August 2016. ", "Later the same month he travelled to New York to receive the Explorers Club Medal from The Explorers Club. ", "Previous recipients of the award include explorers Sir Edmund Hillary and Roald Amundsen, primatologist Jane Goodall, and astronaut Neil Armstrong.", "\n\nE.F. \"Fred\" Roots died peacefully in his sleep at home in East Sooke on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, on 18 October 2016. ", "He was 93 years old. ", "He was survived by June and four of their five children. ", "He was predeceased earlier the same year by his son, Charlie Roots, who had himself been a geologist and explorer with the Geological Survey of Canada.", "\n\nAwards and recognition\n\nDuring the course of his research career, after retirement, and in recognition of his exploration in both the northern and southern polar regions, various academic societies and associations conferred distinctions upon Roots:\nNess Award of the Royal Geographical Society (1955)\nFellow of the Arctic Institute of North America (1955)\nPolar Medal awarded by the Sovereign of the United Kingdom (1956) \nGold Medal of the Royal Geographical Society (1965)\nMassey Medal of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (1979)\nOfficer of the Order of Canada (1987)\nFellow of the Royal Society of Canada (1990)\nExplorers Club Medal of The Explorers Club (2016)\n\nNamesake locations\nIn recognition of his exemplary service in the exploration and scientific investigation of the Antarctic continent, a number of places and geographic features on the landmass have been named in honour of Roots. ", "Roots Heights (Norwegian: ; ), named in 1966, is an area of high ground at the top of an ice-free, flat-topped mountain, approximately central within the Sverdrup Mountains of Queen Maud Land. ", "On the western side of Roots Heights is a large glacial cirque, named Fred Cirque (Norwegian: ; ) also in 1966. ", "Both features were mapped by Norwegian cartographers during the course of the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition for which Roots was Chief Geologist. ", "Multiple biographical articles and obituaries claim that an entire range of mountains on Antarctica is named for Roots, but there appears to be no evidence for this in gazetteers and geographic name directories.", "\n\nNamesake fossil\nDuring his master's thesis research in the Aiken Lake area of northern British Columbia, Roots collected samples of fossils to assist in correlation and dating of the various rock units that he examined there. ", "One of these samples contained a sponge reef fauna which included a species of Archaeocyatha that had not yet been formally described. ", "Fortunately for Roots, on the faculty of the Department of Geology at the University of British Columbia was Vladimir Okulitch, a paleontologist who specialized in Archaeocytha fossils. ", "Okulitch named the species Protopharetra rootsi, meaning 'Roots's first quiver', recognizing both the finder of the fossil as well as its shape.", "\n\nReferences\n\nExternal links \n A Tribute to Dr Fred Roots, Students on Ice, YouTube\n\nCategory:1923 births\nCategory:2016 deaths\nCategory:University of British Columbia alumni\nCategory:Princeton University alumni\nCategory:Recipients of the Polar Medal\nCategory:Officers of the Order of Canada\nCategory:Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada\nCategory:Geological Survey of Canada personnel\nCategory:Canadian geologists\nCategory:Canadian explorers\nCategory:Massey Medal recipients\nCategory:People of the Scott Polar Research Institute" ]

[ "I. Field of the Invention\nThe present invention relates generally to adhesive rollers of the type used for detritus removal.", "\nII. ", "Description of Related Art\nThere are many previously known adhesive rollers used for detritus removal. ", "These previously known rollers typically comprise an elongated strip having a backing layer. ", "The strip includes two ends and two spaced apart and parallel sides.", "\nAn adhesive layer is provided along a first side of the backing layer. ", "Thereafter, the strip is wound into a tubular and cylindrical roller with the adhesive layer facing outwardly. ", "Oftentimes the strip is wound around a tubular core and the tubular core is then rotatably mounted on a handle to facilitate rolling of the adhesive roller along the surface desired to be cleaned.", "\nAfter prolonged use of the adhesive roller for cleaning surfaces, the adhesive on the outermost adhesive layer or sheet of the adhesive roller becomes covered with detritus and other matter and loses its adhesiveness. ", "When this happens, it is necessary to remove the outermost sheet of the adhesive roller to expose fresh adhesive on the next underlying sheet on the roller.", "\nHowever, because of the adhesion of the backing strip with the adhesive on the next underlying layer on the roller, the actual removal of single sheets, each constituting one circumference of the roller, is oftentimes difficult. ", "Frequently, the outermost sheet of the adhesive roller becomes torn during its removal. ", "Even though a uniform release coating covers the side of the backing strip opposite from the adhesive side, these previously known uniform release coatings, however, are of a relatively weak strength in order to ensure the integrity of the roll in use.", "\nThere have, however, been a number of previously known adhesive roller constructions designed to facilitate the removal of an individual sheet corresponding to one revolution around the cylindrical roller when desired to expose fresh adhesive on the next underlying sheet. ", "In one previously known adhesive roller, perforations are provided at spaced intervals along the roller so that the space in between the perforations corresponds substantially to one revolution of the adhesive roller. ", "In still a further previously known adhesive roller, a single cut terminates at a position spaced inwardly from the sides of the adhesive roller to facilitate removal of individual sheets or layers of the adhesive roller.", "\nEven with these previously known adhesive rollers having both spaced perforations and/or a cut formed through the roller to facilitate separation of individual sheets from the roller, it is still oftentimes difficult to initiate the removal of one sheet from the roller due to the adhesion of the backing layer of the outermost sheet with the adhesive on the next innermost layer of the roller. ", "Consequently, in order to facilitate the initiation of the removal of an individual sheet from the roller, there have been previously known adhesive rollers which provide at least one and oftentimes two “dry” edges along the backing strip. ", "These dry edges are uncovered with adhesive so that the edge of the outermost sheet can be easily grasped along the dry edge in order to initiate the removal of the outermost sheet from the roller.", "\nThese previously known adhesive rollers with dry edges, however, have not proven wholly satisfactory in use. ", "One disadvantage of the dry edge is that it reduces the amount of area of the exposed adhesive on the outermost surface of the roller since the dry edges are not covered with an adhesive. ", "As such, the efficiency of the adhesive roller is less than an adhesive roller in which the entire outwardly facing surface of the backing strip is covered with an adhesive.", "\nA still further disadvantage of the previously known adhesive rollers is that it is difficult during the manufacturing process to maintain an accurate width of the dry edge along one or both of the edges of the strip. ", "The inability to maintain an accurate and predetermined dimension for the width of the dry edges along the adhesive roller provides an aesthetically displeasing appearance for the consumer. ", "Furthermore, zone coating of the adhesive on the backing layer to form the dry edge(s) significantly increases the manufacturing costs for the adhesive roller." ]
