    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :We assessed the pollen hydration, the pollen germination, and the stigma papilla penetration of CROCUS VERNUS subsp. VERNUS (Iridaceae) after 2 h fumigations with O (3), NO (2), and CO gases within humidified (90 - 100 % RH) box experiments. When the pollen and the pistil were separately fumigated, the pollen retained the capacity to emit a tube which penetrated papilla, and the stigma papillae retained the receptivity; when the pistils were first pollinated and then fumigated, the capacity of pollen to hydrate was not affected, but the germination was significantly reduced. The vulnerability to gases became evident at 0.3 ppm O (3), 0.2 ppm NO (2), and 0.5 ppm CO. The inhibition curves as a function of the gas concentrations were of an exponential type, and they saturated at 2 ppm NO (2), 25 ppm CO, and 0.5 ppm O (3), with germination percentages of 17 %, 27 %, and 60 %, respectively. Both the pollen germination and the papilla penetration were fully restored by prolonging for 60 - 90 min the incubation at 90 - 100 % RH, after the cessation of fumigations. The vulnerability of the pollen-papilla system is discussed.
    背景与目标: : 我们评估了番红花亚种的花粉水化,花粉萌发和柱头乳头渗透。在加湿 (90-100% RH) 盒实验中用O (3),NO (2) 和CO气体熏蒸2小时后的VERNUS (鸢尾科)。当花粉和雌蕊分别熏蒸时,花粉保留了穿透乳头的试管的能力,柱头乳头保留了感受性; 当雌蕊先授粉后熏蒸时,花粉的水合能力没有受到影响,但萌发明显降低。在0.3 ppm O (3) 、0.2 ppm NO (2) 和0.5 ppm CO时,对气体的脆弱性变得明显。作为气体浓度的函数的抑制曲线是指数型的,它们在2 ppm NO (2),25 ppm CO和0.5 ppm O (3) 下饱和,发芽率分别为17%,27% 和60%。熏蒸停止后,通过在90-100% RH下孵育60-90分钟,花粉萌发和乳头渗透都完全恢复。讨论了花粉-乳头系统的脆弱性。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Biochemical methane potential (BMP) assay was conducted at 35 °C to evaluate the effects of inoculum to substrate ratio (ISR) and substrate mix ratio between para-grass and pig manure co-digesting using different inocula. Rubber latex digester (RLD) inoculum showed higher methanogenic activity (41.4 mL CH4/gVS) than pig farm digester (PFD) inoculum (37.3 mL CH4/gVS). However, the maximum methane yields, occurred at the highest para-grass mix ratio (G), were 369.6, 437.6, 465.9 and 442.6 mL CH4/gTSadded for RLD inoculum, versus 332.4, 475.0, 519.5 and 521.9 mL/gTSadded for PFD inoculum at ISR 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. HPr, HBu and HVa appeared at higher G, corresponding to substrate's higher biodegradability. Response surface indicated that higher ISR and G had a significantly positive impact on methane yield. It suggested the use of higher ISR, i.e. 3 or 4, for BMP assay of these co-substrates. Dominant species of fermentative bacteria in each inoculum was tested by DGGE.
    背景与目标: : 在35 °C下进行生化甲烷势 (BMP) 测定,以评估接种物与底物的比例 (ISR) 和底物混合比例在使用不同接种物的对位草和猪粪共同消化之间的影响。橡胶胶乳消化器 (RLD) 接种物显示出比猪场消化器 (PFD) 接种物 (37.3 mL CH4/gVS) 更高的产甲烷活性 (41.4 mL CH4/gVS)。然而,在最高的对草混合比 (G) 下,RLD接种物的最大甲烷产量为369.6、437.6、465.9和442.6 mL CH4/gts,而在ISR 1、2、3下,PFD接种物的最大甲烷产量为332.4、475.0、519.5和521.9 mL/gts,和4。HPr,HBu和HVa出现在较高的G处,对应于底物的较高的生物降解性。响应面表明,较高的ISR和G对甲烷产量有显着的积极影响。建议使用更高的ISR (即3或4) 进行这些共底物的BMP测定。通过DGGE测试了每个接种物中发酵细菌的优势种。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Group data analysis in brainstem neuroimaging is predicated on accurate co-registration of anatomy. As the brainstem is comprised of many functionally heterogeneous nuclei densely situated adjacent to one another, relatively small errors in co-registration can manifest in increased variance or decreased sensitivity (or significance) in detecting activations. We have devised a 2-stage automated, reference mask guided registration technique (Automated Brainstem Co-registration, or ABC) for improved brainstem co-registration. Our approach utilized a brainstem mask dataset to weight an automated co-registration cost function. Our method was validated through measurement of RMS error at 12 manually defined landmarks. These landmarks were also used as guides for a secondary manual co-registration option, intended for outlier individuals that may not adequately co-register with our automated method. Our methodology was tested on 10 healthy human subjects and compared to traditional co-registration techniques (Talairach transform and automated affine transform to the MNI-152 template). We found that ABC had a significantly lower mean RMS error (1.22 +/- 0.39 mm) than Talairach transform (2.88 +/- 1.22 mm, mu +/- sigma) and the global affine (3.26 +/- 0.81 mm) method. Improved accuracy was also found for our manual-landmark-guided option (1.51 +/- 0.43 mm). Visualizing individual brainstem borders demonstrated more consistent and uniform overlap for ABC compared to traditional global co-registration techniques. Improved robustness (lower susceptibility to outliers) was demonstrated with ABC through lower inter-subject RMS error variance compared with traditional co-registration methods. The use of easily available and validated tools (AFNI and FSL) for this method should ease adoption by other investigators interested in brainstem data group analysis.
    背景与目标: : 脑干神经影像学中的组数据分析基于解剖结构的准确共配准。由于脑干由彼此密集相邻的许多功能异质核组成,因此在共同配准中相对较小的误差可能表现为检测激活的方差增加或敏感性降低 (或显着性)。我们设计了一种2阶段自动参考面罩引导的注册技术 (自动脑干共同注册或ABC),以改善脑干共同注册。我们的方法利用脑干掩模数据集对自动共同注册成本函数进行加权。我们的方法通过测量12个手动定义的地标上的均方根误差进行了验证。这些地标也被用作辅助手动共同注册选项的指南,该选项适用于可能无法与我们的自动方法充分共同注册的离群值个人。我们的方法在10名健康人类受试者上进行了测试,并与传统的共配准技术 (Talairach变换和自动仿射变换到MNI-152模板) 进行了比较。我们发现ABC的平均均方根误差 (1.22 +/-0.39毫米) 明显低于Talairach变换 (2.88 +/-1.22毫米,mu +/- sigma) 和全局仿射 (3.26 +/-0.81毫米) 方法。我们的手动地标引导选项 (1.51 +/-0.43毫米) 也提高了准确性。与传统的全球共配准技术相比,可视化单个脑干边界显示出ABC更加一致和统一的重叠。与传统的共配准方法相比,ABC通过较低的受试者间均方根误差方差证明了更高的鲁棒性 (对异常值的敏感性较低)。对于这种方法,使用易于获得和验证的工具 (AFNI和FSL) 应该可以简化对脑干数据组分析感兴趣的其他研究人员的采用。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) system is an intricately regulated system that plays critical roles in development and tumorigenesis. Here, we apply integrated experimentation and modeling to analyze HER receptor activation in a panel of cell lines expressing endogenous levels of EGFR/HER1 and different levels of HER2. A mathematical model that includes the fundamental processes involved in receptor activation and trafficking was used to fit the experimental data, and values of the independent parameters for active receptor dimer formation affinities, trafficking rates and relative phosphorylation levels were estimated. Obtained parameter values quantitatively support the existing ideas on the effect of HER2 on EGFR dynamics, and enable us to predict the abundances of various phosphorylated receptor dimers in the cell lines.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: BACKGROUND:The expansion of science has resulted in an increased information flow and in an exponentially growing number of connections between knowledge in different research fields. In this study, we used methods of scientometric analysis to obtain a conceptual network that forms the structure of active scientific research fields in anesthesia. METHODS:We extracted from the Web of Science (Institute for Scientific Information) all original articles (n = 3275) including their references (n = 79,972) that appeared in 2003 in all 23 journals listed in the Institute for Scientific Information Journal Citation Reports under the subject heading "Anesthesiology." After identification of highly cited references (> or = 5), pairs of co-cited references were created and grouped into uniformly structured clusters of documents using a single linkage and variable level clustering method. In addition, for each such cluster of documents, we identified corresponding front papers published in 2003, each of which co-cited at least two documents of the cluster core. Active anesthetic research fields were then named by examining the titles of the documents in both the established clusters and in their corresponding front papers. These research fields were sorted according to the proportion of recent documents in their cluster core (immediacy index) and were further analyzed. RESULTS:Forty-six current anesthetic research fields were identified. The research field named "ProSeal laryngeal mask airway" showed the highest immediacy index (100%) whereas the research fields "Experimental models of neuropathic pain" and "Volatile anesthetic-induced cardioprotection" exhibited the highest level of co-citation strength (level 9). The research field with the largest cluster core, containing 12 homogeneous papers, was "Postoperative nausea and vomiting." The journal Anesthesia & Analgesia published most front papers while Anesthesiology published most of the fundamental documents used as references in the front papers. CONCLUSIONS:Using co-citation analysis, we identified distinct homogenous clusters of highly cited documents representing 46 active current anesthetic research fields and determined multiple nets of knowledge among them.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Premature bone resorption and remodeling by osteoclasts can limit the longevity of implant fixation and recovery time. Orally administered bisphosphonates (BPs) have been used to inhibit osteoclast action at the implant/bone interface. Ideally, these should be delivered at the interface with the osteoblast-active hydroxyapatite (HA) for maximum effect. This investigation introduces a novel BP loading technique to achieve improved BP release from a simulated body fluid-grown HA (SBF-HA) with the aim of improving implant fixation. A solution co-precipitation technique incorporates the BP (pamidronate) into a thin SBF-HA coating. Surface analysis, using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), of the resultant coating was employed to confirm the presence of the adsorbed BP on the surface of SBF-HA. XPS analysis was also used to determine the optimal adsorption process. Osteoclast cell culture experiments confirmed the biological effectiveness of BP adsorption and proved that the pamidronate was biologically active, causing both decreased osteoclast numbers and decreased resorption.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: AIMS OF THE STUDY:The economic implications of co-morbid depression in patients with chronic medical disorders have been studied mainly in high-income countries. However, the applicability of such findings in developing countries cannot be assumed. In the present study we estimate diabetes related costs and explore the link between depression and diabetes related costs in Romania. In this former communist country, the general perception of practitioners and policy-makers is that psychological issues are far less important than medical concerns for patients with diabetes, a perception that may lead to the misallocation of already scarce resources. METHODS:Data related to costs of diabetes care and to co-morbid depression were collected from a sample of 1,171 diabetes patients at the Nutrition and Diabetes Center in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, using the Diabetes Costs Questionnaire (DCQ) and the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ9). The gathered data were subjected to a bivariate analysis of the depression-cost relationship, as well as a regression analysis in order to isolate the effect of depression on diabetes related costs from the effect of covariates. RESULTS:Direct and indirect diabetes related costs equally contributed to the total costs. The repartition of the cost burden between the public system and private agents is nearly equal as well. The bivariate analysis of the depression-cost relationship reveals statistically significant larger diabetes related costs for patients with major depression than for patients with minor depression, and the latter have larger diabetes related costs than patients free of depression symptoms. When the pure effect of depression on diabetes related costs was isolated by means of regression techniques, the provisional diagnosis of major depression was found to significantly increase diabetes related costs. DISCUSSION:The equal distribution of diabetes related costs between direct and indirect measures, as well as the cost burden equally split between the public system and private agents can be explained by the costs of medication and the costs associated with time lost by the non-compensated caregivers. Consistent with Romanian cultural traditions, most of the patients rely on their relatives in an informal diabetes caregiving market for assistance. Alongside depression, the multivariate analysis revealed that factors such as Hungarian ethnicity, income, and number of years since diagnosis also significantly contribute to diabetes related costs. IMPLICATIONS FOR HEALTH CARE PROVISION AND USE:Findings that depression increases diabetes related costs bear potential implications for health policies and health care provision (i.e., the effect of depression on costs can be minimized by adequate recognition and treatment). As such, screening and treatment of co-occurring depression in diabetes patients should become part of the diabetes treatment protocol, not only in Romania but in other Central and Eastern European countries as well.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The anaerobic co-digestion of brewery yeast using granular biomass was studied on the lab, pilot and full-scale. The study shows no adverse effects in the co-digestion of yeast and wastewater in concentrations up to 1.1 (v/v)%. In concentrations up to 2.3% the process is manageable; however, not advisable. In concentrations over 2.8% the process exhibits failure due to the overload with suspended solids. An average specific biogas production of 0.560 m(3)kg(-1) of volatile solids was achieved. Full-scale operation with 0.7% yeast concentration showed a 38.5% increase in the biogas production and a 26.2% increase in the organic loading rate, which resulted in an increase of the biomethane/natural-gas substitute ratio from 10% to 16%. The influence of the yeast addition on the structure of the microbial biomass showed up to 7% dissimilarity in the archaeal and a 32% dissimilarity in the bacterial biomass community, which did not present any difficulties.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: The morphology and the distribution of neurons expressing the NK1-receptor (NK1R) and the co-expression of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in these neurons were studied in the rat occipital cortex and in organotypic cultures (OTCs) derived from this structure. By employing immunohistochemistry, we demonstrate that the NK1R-expressing neurons are non-pyramidal neurons and co-express GABA. Some differences were noted between in vivo and OTCs. NK1R-expressing neurons in OTCs had larger somata and longer dendrites and the proportion stained with an anti-GABA-antibody (approximately 50%) was smaller than in vivo (90%). The preferential location of NK1R-expressing neurons in layers II/III and VI, seen in vivo is not present in OTCs where these neurons distribute rather homogeneously through layers II-VI. Our findings imply that in contrast to the cat and monkey, in the rat occipital cortex the effects of substance P are almost exclusively mediated via inhibitory interneurons.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most prevalent and malignant ovarian tumor.To identify co-expression modules and hub genes correlated with platinum-based chemotherapy resistant and sensitive HGSOC, we performed weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) on microarray data of HGSOC with 12 resistant samples and 16 sensitive samples of GSE51373 dataset.A total of 5122 genes were included in WGCNA, and 16 modules were identified. Module-trait analysis identified that the module salmon (cor = 0.50), magenta (cor = 0.49), and black (cor = 0.45) were discovered associated with chemotherapy resistant, and the significance for these platinum-resistant modules were validated in the GSE63885 dataset. Given that the black module was validated to be the most related one, hub genes of this module, alcohol dehydrogenase 1B, cadherin 11, and vestigial like family member 3were revealed to be expressional related with platinum resistance, and could serve as prognostic markers for ovarian cancer.Our analysis might provide insight for molecular mechanisms of platinum-based chemotherapy resistance and treatment response in ovarian cancer.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Bats are reservoirs of numerous zoonotic viruses. The Picornaviridae family comprises important pathogens which may infect both humans and animals. In this study, a bat-related picornavirus was detected from Algerian Minioptreus schreibersii bats for the first time in the country. Molecular analyses revealed the new virus originates to the Mischivirus genus. In the operational use of the acquired sequence and all available data regarding bat picornaviruses, we performed a co-evolutionary analysis of mischiviruses and their hosts, to authentically reveal evolutionary patterns within this genus. Based on this analysis, we enlarged the dataset, and examined the co-evolutionary history of all bat-related picornaviruses including their hosts, to effectively compile all possible species jumping events during their evolution. Furthermore, we explored the phylogeny association with geographical location, host-genus and host-species in both data sets.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Introduction: Twin pregnancy with complete hydatidiform mole and co-existing fetus (CHMCF) is an uncommon obstetric entity and may occur after assisted reproductive technologies. These pregnancies are associated with severe complications for both mother and fetus and the management is challenging. Case Report: We report a twin pregnancy after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment with CHMCF which delivered at 26 gestation weeks due to severe preeclampsia. The 625g neonate survived without any complication. The woman had persistent trophoblastic disease with lung metastasis and was treated with single agent methotrexate. We also present a brief review of the literature about the outcomes of CHMCF after ICSI. Conclusion: CHMCF may occur after ICSI treatment. Pregnancies with CHMCF are associated with severe complications however under close follow-up successful outcomes could be achieved in such pregnancies.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: BACKGROUND:There are very few studies on the final triggers of apoptosis, the caspases, in breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Caspase-3 expression was studied by means of reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in a series of 108 previously untreated patients with breast cancer. Expression levels were correlated with those obtained using the same technique of the apoptosis-associated X-chromosome genes RBMX, RBM3, RBM10 small and RBM10 large variant; Bcl-2 and Bax; the angiogenesis-associated genes VEGF and CD105 (endoglin); hMAM and Nup88. The correlation with the expression of hormone receptors, c-erb-B2, mutant p53 and Ki-67, all measured by means of immunohistochemistry, was also studied, as well as that with standard clinical parameters such as histological type, tumor size, axillary metastasis and DNA-ploidy. RESULTS:The only statistically significant correlations observed between caspase-3 mRNA expression and the parameters tested were a direct one with both the Bax (p = 0.007) and the small variant of the X-chromosome RBM10 gene (p = 0.018), and an inverse one with the angiogenesis-associated CD105 (endoglin) gene (p = 0.044). CONCLUSION:These results indicate that very few genes are involved in the last steps of the apoptotic cascade in breast cancer, among them one of the X-chromosome RBM family. They also support the relatively unexplored link between apoptosis and angiogenesis.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: AIM:Neonatal surgery in low-income and middle-income countries has a poorer outcome when compared with high-income countries. This study evaluated the management challenges and outcomes of neonatal surgery before and after the introduction of focused interdisciplinary team management in 2013. METHODS:We retrospectively analysed neonatal surgery undertaken at two referral hospitals in Enugu, south-eastern Nigeria from January 2011 to November 2015. Cases managed prior to July 2013 (group A) were compared with those managed from July 2013 (group B). RESULTS:There were 91 cases (group A, 47; group B, 44). The common neonatal conditions were oesophageal atresia (21), anorectal malformation (18) and intestinal atresia (18). The surgical conditions, birthweight, age at presentation and associated anomalies did not differ in the two groups. The treatment was also similar except in oesophageal atresia, where cardiac banding was added to the temporary gastrostomy in late presenting cases with undernutrition in group B. Postoperative complications occurred in 43 (47.3%) cases (group A, 55.3%; group B, 38.6%; P > 0.05), and the overall mortality was 33 (35.3%: group A, 48.9%; group B, 22.7%: P < 0.05). Causes of mortality were unremitting sepsis (group A, 11; group B, 5), anaesthesia complications (group A, 5; group B, 0) and respiratory complication (group A, 7; group B, 5). Delayed presentation, inadequate facilities and defective health insurance scheme were challenges in the two groups. CONCLUSION:Despite the persisting challenges, co-ordinated team management may result in the modest improvement of outcomes of neonatal surgery in our setting. Addressing these challenges may further improve outcomes.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: BACKGROUND:Tuberculosis continues to be a health problem of both developed and developing countries, and its incidence has currently increased due to HIV induced immune suppression. HIV-co-infection decreases the total number of CD4+ T cells since the virus preferentially replicates with in activated CD4+ T cells and macrophages, resulting in the disruption of granuloma to contain M. tuberculosis. In this study, we investigated the change in T lymphocyte subpopulations before and after anti-tubercular treatment and the effect of intestinal parasites on the cell populations of tuberculosis patients before the initiation of anti TB treatment. METHOD:A prospective cohort study was conducted in the outpatient TB Clinic, University of Gondar hospital between January 2014 and August 2015. Blood samples were collected from 80 newly diagnosed TB patients with and without HIV co-infection. The mean CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte counts of the patients were assessed before and after the course of anti-TB treatment. The mean values of T lymphocytes of TB, TB/HIV co-infected patients and of the control groups were compared. Data was analyzed by SPSS version 16 and the graph pad prism software. RESULTS:A total of 80 tuberculosis patients 40 of whom were co-infected with HIV participated in our study. The mean CD4 + T lymphocytes counts of the TB/HIV cohort were 354.45 ± 138cell/μl, and the mean CD8+ cell counts were 926.82 ± 384cell/μl. There were significant changes in the mean CD4+ and CD8+ T cell counts after the course of anti-TB treatment in both groups of patients(p < 0.05). However, no statistically significant differences were observed in the mean CD4 + and CD8+ T cell counts of helminthes infected and non-infected patients (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION:We found significantly lower CD4+ T cell counts among TB infected HIV negative patients compared with controls who showed that TB was the cause of non-HIV-associated declination of circulating CD4 counts, and the reduction was reversible with anti-tubercular treatment in both HIV-negative and ART naïve TB-HIV co-infected patients.
