Abstract:

A novel method of one-pot covalently grafting a hydrophilic organic polymer imprinted layer on the surface of magnetic microspheres was developed for the preparation of restricted access materials–molecularly imprinted magnetic microspheres (RAM-MIMMs) with water compatibility and ability to exclude biomacromolecules and selectively enrich analytes. The magnetic nanoparticles were coated with silica gel, modified with vinyl groups, polymerized with the template (enrofloxacin), functional monomer (glycidyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid), and cross-linking agent (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) in chloroform, and then the hydrophilic surface was formed by a ring-opening reaction. The RAM-MIMMs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, and adsorption experiments and demonstrated average diameters around 400 nm and a coating thickness in the range of 50 nm. They exhibited high selectivity of the imprinted cavities and hydrophilicity of the external surface with water compatibility and exclusion of biomacromolecules. The RAM-MIMMs were used for the magnetic dispersion microextraction of fluoroquinolones from egg samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract:

Introduction:HMIMMS (Major Incident Medical Management and Support: The Practical Approach in the Hospital) has been introduced by ALSG (Advanced Life Support Group, Manchester, UK) and developed for many countries for preparing to accept huge numbers of casualties at a hospital during major incidents. The original HMIMMS course has been held in Japan since 2007, produced over 1,200 providers. Japan has a crucial history of natural disasters, earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons often resulting in extensive damages to infrastructure and communications.Aim:The MIMMS-JAPAN and the Japanese Association for Disaster Medicine have joined to plan to revise the original HMIMMS course from the point of view of the difference of the type of disaster.Method:By the permission of ALSG, two subjects were added “Hospital Evacuation” and “Business Continuity Plan” as lectures, workshops, and tabletops to the original HMIMMS course. Before attending the course, students were required to watch e-learning for deeper understanding and time-saving. Total program was organized into two days.Results:Main points of modification are to: 1.Replace a system peculiar to the UK with a Japanese system.2.Add unique contents of a Japanese disaster.3.Add the important subjects especially in Japan.4.Modify the presentation slides to understand easily for Japanese students. But the fundamental concept that hospital functions upon ‘CSCATTT’ is strictly preserved.Discussion:Newly revised HMIMMS course will start in 2019 for Japanese learners. Many reflections must be accumulated and further revisions will continue.

Abstract:

Introduction:One of the key components in any effective disaster response is the capacity of local communities to respond in a timely and efficient manner. Over the last 3 years, the National Critical Care and Trauma Response Centre in Darwin has been involved in building regional capacity across the Asia-Pacific, supporting local leadership and building local skills and knowledge in order to develop a systematic approach to disaster medical management.Aim:This presentation is to describe the Regional Engagement Program, its strengths, weaknesses, and outcomes.Methods:We will describe the background to the program, the process for regional engagement and the Results of our evaluation. The program used the Major Incident Medical Management Systems (MIMMS) approach which was delivered in-country and included identifying and using local personnel to deliver the program. The program was conducted across the region in Myanmar, Fiji, Tonga, Vanuatu, Samoa, Timor, and Indonesia. Initially the courses were run by personnel from Australia but through engagement with local Ministries of Health and collaboration with identified key stakeholders, we have been able to build local faculty to ensure sustainability and local ownership.Results:Thirty-six personnel have been trained across four countries. Thirty-six candidates are now instructors, with a further 36 identified for future development as instructors. The evaluation illustrates the long-term partnerships that have been developed and the ongoing capacity development of key regional partners.Discussion:The Regional Engagement program demonstrates that prolonged engagement with key regional stakeholders and adequate and sustained mentoring will successfully build local capacity to the level needed to mount a successful response to a disaster. Personnel trained through this program helped guide the response to the Lombok earthquake and in Fiji, a MIMMS Team Member training program was conducted with minimal external support.

Abstract:

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disrupter in environments which can induce abnormal differentiation of reproductive organs by interfering with the action of endogenous gonadal steroid hormones. In this work, the bisphenol A (BPA) molecularly-imprinted microspheres (MIMS) were prepared and used as biomimetic recognition material for in situ adsorption and selective chemiluminescence (CL) determination of BPA. Through non-covalent interaction, the BPA-MIMS was successfully prepared by Pickering emulsion polymerization using a BPA template, 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) cross-linker, and a SiO2 dispersion agent. The characterization of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-disperse spectroscopy (EDS) showed that the obtained MIMS possessed a regular spherical shape and narrow diameter distribution (25–30 μm). The binding experiment indicated BPA could be adsorbed in situ on the MIMS-packing cell with an apparent maximum amount Qmax of 677.3 μg g−1. Then BPA could be selectively detected by its sensitive inhibition effect on the CL reaction between luminol and periodate (KIO4), and the inhibition mechanism was discussed to reveal the CL reaction process. The CL intensity was linear to BPA concentrations in two ranges, respectively from 0.5 to 1.5 μg mL−1 with a detection limit of 8.0 ng mL−1 (3σ), and from 1.5 to 15 μg mL−1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 80 ng mL−1 (3σ). The BPA-MIPMS showed excellent selectivity for BPA adsorption and the proposed CL method has been successfully applied to BPA determination in environmental water samples.

Abstract:

Over and undertriage in simulation exercises Introduction The first healthcare personnel arriving at the scene of an accident or major incident is often an ambulance crew. It is therefore of importance that they are familiar with, and can practice triage during situations were there is a lack of resources. Overtriage, when a casualty is given a priority higher than motivated, may lead to inadequate use of resources, while undertriage can be seen as a risk for medical errors. There is a consensus that up to 50% overtriage is accepted in order to have an undertriage, which is less than 5%. The aim of this study was to increase knowledge regarding prehospital personnel's triage during standardized simulation exercises.Material and Method76 standardized simulation exercises where the triage of casualties was evaluated. The exercises were part of a training program for medical command and control at scene. The students trained were all professional ambulance crew. The scenario was a fire at a football stand with 50 causalities. All in all 3800 (76 x 50) triages were performed. The simulation system used was Emergo Train System. Prior to the exercises an expert group had triaged the causalities according to the MIMMS system (sieve). Of the 50 patients 15 were triaged as T1 by the expert group and the rest were not.ResultsOf the 3800 triages 37% (n = 410) were classified as undertriage and 13% (n = 134) as overtriage. The most frequently undertriage casualties had an airway and/or breathing problem that were not observed. The most frequently overtriage casualties had a burn injury involving 30% of body surface area or unconscious casualties.ConclusionsTriage in this simulation setting did not meet acceptable standards. More triage training for ambulance crew may improve outcome. More studies are needed regarding simulation exercises as a tool for evaluating results of triage.

Abstract:

IntroductionThe numbers of patients with three or more chronic conditions (multimorbidity) are increasing, and will rise to 2.9 million by 2018 in the UK alone. Currently in the UK, conditions are mainly managed using over 250 sets of single-condition guidance, which has the potential to generate conflicting recommendations for lifestyle and concurrent medication for individual patients with more than one condition. To address some of these issues, we are developing a new computer-based tool to help manage these patients more effectively. For this tool to be applicable and relevant to current practice, we must first better understand how existing patients with multimorbidity are being managed, particularly relating to concerns over prescribing and potential polypharmacy.Methods and analysisUp to four secondary care centres, two community pharmacies and between four and eight primary care centres in the West Midlands will be recruited. Interviewees will be purposively sampled from these sites, up to a maximum of 30. In this mixed methods study, we will perform a dual framework analysis on the qualitative data; the first analysis will use the Theoretical Domains Framework to assess barriers and enablers for healthcare professionals around the management of multimorbid patients; the second analysis will use Normalisation Process Theory to understand how interventions are currently being successfully implemented in both settings. We will also extract quantitative anonymised patient data from primary care to determine the extent of polypharmacy currently present for patients with multimorbidity in the West Midlands.DiscussionWe aim to combine these data so that we can build a useful, fully implementable tool which addresses the barriers most amenable to change within both primary and secondary care contexts.Ethics and disseminationFavourable ethical approval has been granted by The University of Birmingham Research Ethics Committee (ERN_16–0074) on 17 May 2016. Our work will be disseminated through peer-reviewed literature, trade journals and conferences. We will also use the dedicated web page hosted by the University to serve as a central point of contact and as a repository of our findings. We aim to produce a minimum of three articles from this work to contribute to the international scientific literature.Protocol registration numberNIHR Clinical Research Network Portfolio Registration CPMS ID 30613.

Abstract:

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the addition of concomitant tricuspid valve surgery (TVS) negatively impacted operative outcomes of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS). Methods Patients undergoing MIMVS via a port-access right minithoracotomy between 2002 and 2014 at a single institution were reviewed. Patients were primarily stratified by those undergoing isolated MIMVS versus MIMVS+TVS. Propensity-matched cohorts were generated. Operative outcomes were compared between the propensity-matched cohorts and included operative mortality, complications, and length of hospital stay. Results A total of 1,158 patients underwent MIMVS via port-access right minithoracotomy. The majority of cases were elective (93%; n = 1,071) and 148 (13%) underwent concomitant MIMVS + TVS. Patients undergoing MIMVS + TVS were at higher risk at baseline. After propensity-matching, there were 119 isolated MIMVS and 119 MIMVS + TVS patients that were well matched with respect to all baseline variables. Cardiopulmonary bypass (148 ± 54 minutes versus 175 ± 54 minutes, P < 0.001) and aortic occlusion times (105 ± 36 minutes versus 128 ± 40 minutes, P < 0.001) were longer in the MIMVS + TVS group. Operative mortality was comparable (3% isolated MIMVS versus 4% for MIMVS + TVS; P = 0.73). Permanent pacemakers were required less frequently in the isolated MIMVS group (1% versus 6%; P = 0.03). All other complication rates were similar. Median length of hospital stay (7 versus 8 days; P = 0.13) and discharge-to-home rates (89% versus 94%; P = 0.15) were comparable. Conclusions Despite longer operative times, minimally invasive TVS performed concomitantly with MIMVS has similar operative outcomes with the exception of a higher pacemaker rate when compared with isolated MIMVS.

Abstract:

A new method of removing rotenone from contaminated water using molecularly imprinted polymeric microspheres (MIPMs) is described. The MIPMs were prepared by the emulsifier-free polymerization method. The removal efficiency and selective recognition ability of the MIPMs were studied. The highest removal efficiency was observed at pH = 8. Moreover, the MIPMs can be re-used for at least 10 times without losing any removal efficiency. The MIPMs provided a selective, simple, reliable and practicable solution to remove rotenone from contaminated water.

Abstract:

In the recent years minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) has become a well-established and increasingly used option for managing patients with a mitral valve pathology. Nonetheless, whether the purported benefits of MIMVS translate into clinically important outcomes remains controversial. Therefore, in this paper we provide an overview of MIMVS and discuss results, morbidity, mortality, and quality of life following mitral minimally invasive procedures. MIMVS has been proven to be a feasible alternative to the conventional full sternotomy approach with low perioperative morbidity and short-term mortality. Reported benefits of MIMVS include also decreased postoperative pain, improved postoperative respiratory function, reduced surgical trauma, and greater patient satisfaction. Finally, compared to standard surgery, MIMVS demonstrated comparable efficacy across a range of long-term efficacy measures such as freedom from reoperation and long-term survival.

Abstract:

The feather mite Plesialges mimus Trouessart, 1919, briefly described from the White-browed Babbler Pomatostomus superciliosus (Vigors & Horsfield) (Passeriformes: Pomatostomidae), is the only species of the genus Plesialges Trouessart, 1919. In this work, I redescribe this mite species based on the type specimens, transfer it into the genus Hemialges Trouessart, 1895, and provide it with the valid name Hemialges mimus (Trouessart, 1919) comb. n. The genus Plesialges syn. n. is synonymized with the genus Hemialges. A new diagnosis, comments on taxonomy and an updated checklist of species are provided for the genus Hemialges. The transfer of P. mimus to the genus Hemialges created a conflict with the previously named Hemialges mimus Trouessart, 1920 from the Trumpet Manucode, Phonygammus keraudrenii (Lesson & Garnot) (Passeriformes: Paradisaeidae). Hemialges mimus (Trouessart, 1919) comb. n. is now the older homonym within this genus and H. mimus Trouessart, 1920 from the Trumpet Manucode is a junior homonym; here I provide the latter with a new name, Hemialges trouessarti nom. n.

Abstract:

Erythromycin molecularly imprinted polymeric microspheres（EM-MIPMs) which have good shape and well-distributed size were prepared by suspension polymerization in aqueous phase, using EM as a template and methacrylic acid (MAA) as a functional monomer. The size of MIPMs is about 50.17 μm characterized by laser particle size analyzer and polarizing microscope. The interaction between the template and monomer, and selective binding performance were investigated by ultraviolet spectrum analysis, equilibrium binding experiments and Scatchard analysis. The results show tha t hydrogen bonding may contribute to the interaction between EM and MAA, EM-MIPMs demonstrated much higher adsorption capacity compared with the NMIPMs. It has also been found that there are two kinds of binding sites in EM-MIPMs and only one kind in NMIPMs.

Abstract:

Object The authors have observed that the ulnar nerve (UN) passes through the medial intermuscular septum (MIMS) into the posterior compartment of the upper arm in more complicated patterns than those described in anatomy textbooks. Given that these unreported patterns might be related to the idiopathic UN entrapment at the midarm, this study focused on the relationship between the MIMS and the UN. Methods One hundred upper arms were dissected. The site at which the UN pierced the MIMS was analyzed and measured from the medial epicondyle. Results The relationship between the MIMS and the UN could be classified into 3 types according to whether the nerve pierced the MIMS and whether it ran through a fibrous tunnel within the septum. The UN pierced the MIMS in the middle third of the upper arm. Conclusions The results of this study are expected to further understanding of the relationship between the MIMS and the UN. They could also be helpful for surgeons aiming to relieve UN entrapment at the midarm, especially in nerve lesions of idiopathic origin.

Abstract:

Objective The safety of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) in elderly patients is still debated. Our objective was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing MIMVS with conventional sternotomy (CS) in elderly patients (≥65 years old). Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, clinicaltrials.gov, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for trials and observational studies comparing MIMVS with CS in patients ≥65 years old presenting for mitral valve surgery. We performed a random-effects meta-analysis of all outcomes. Results The MIMVS group had lower odds of acute renal failure (odds ratio [OR] 0.27; 95% CI 0.10 to 0.78), prolonged intubation (>48 h; OR 0.47; 95% CI 0.31 to 0.70), less blood product transfusion (weighted mean difference [WMD] −0.82 units; 95% CI −1.29 to −0.34 units), shorter ICU length of stay (LOS; WMD −2.57 days; 95% CI −3.24 to −1.90 days) and hospital LOS (WMD −4.06 days; 95% CI −5.19 to −2.94 days). There were no significant differences in the odds of mortality, stroke, respiratory infection, reoperation for bleeding, and postoperative atrial fibrillation. MIMVS was associated with longer cross-clamp (WMD 11.8 min; 95% CI 3.5 to 20.1 min) and cardiopulmonary bypass times (WMD 23.0 min; 95% CI 10.4 to 35.6 min). Conclusions MIMVS in elderly patients is associated with lower postoperative complications, blood transfusion, shorter ICU, and hospital LOS, and longer cross-clamp and bypass times.

Abstract:

This paper describes the development of a new type of molecularly-imprinted composite microspheres. Composite microspheres of calcium phosphate/calcium alginate (CP/CA CMs) were prepared from calcium phosphate and sodium alginate through the use of calcium chloride (CaCl2) as a gelling agent in an inverse suspension. Molecularly-imprinted calcium phosphate/calcium alginate composite microspheres (CP/CA MICMs) were then prepared by surface imprinting using CP/CA CMs as the supporting matrix, ethylene tri(β-methoxy)ethoxysilane (A-172) and γ-amidopropyltriethoxysilane (KH-550) as the functional monomers and crosslinking agents, respectively, and Methyl Orange as the template in aqueous solution. The CP/CA MICMs and non-imprinted composite microspheres (NICMs) were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and optical microscopy. The adsorption behaviour of the CP/CA MICMs and NICMs were determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The results indicated that molecular imprinting occurs via the crosslinking of silanes on the surface of the CP/CA CMs, and that CP/CA MICMs possess an adsorption capacity which exhibits greater selectivity. A schematic representation of the imprinting and recognition process of CA/CP MICMs by surface imprinting via silane crosslinking was presented.

Abstract:

Background To minimize the surgical damage, minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) has become the therapy of choice. However, this approach is technically more challenging, especially in endocarditis. The data on MIMVS in endocarditis are scarce, we therefore retrospectively analyzed the result at our institute. Methods From January 2011 and July 2017, 420 MIMVS were performed, out of which 44 (10%) were for endocarditis. Mean age was 55 ± 17 years and 41% (n = 18) were male. Results Euroscore II was 7.3 (range: 2–38). Operation times, cardiopulmonary bypass times, and clamp times were 230 (±77), 158 (±56), and 84 (±39) minutes, respectively. Seven cases (16%) were cardiac redo operations. Mitral valve repair and replacement was performed in 46 (n = 20) and 54% (n = 24) of patients, respectively. Overall in-hospital mortality, apoplexy, and reoperation rates (all for bleeding) were 7 (n = 3), 0 (n = 0), and 11% (n = 5), respectively. New onset of dialysis was required in three patients (7%). No patient developed superficial wound infection. Overall intensive care unit and hospital stay was 3 (±3) and 24 (±32) days, respectively. Conclusion MIMVS can be performed with acceptable outcome and low perioperative morbidity in patients with mitral valve endocarditis. Especially absence of any postoperative wound infections and low rate of endocarditis recurrence; use of MIMVS must be encouraged as an eligible approach in most cases.

Abstract:

The noxious clenbuterol misapplied as the feed additive has posed an enormous threat to humans who actively rely on the food chains with high potential of contamination by clenbuterol, such as pork and beef. It is, therefore, highly desirable to develop novel materials and strategies for dealing with the clenbuterol. Herein, functional polymer microspheres prepared by Pickering emulsion polymerization were explored for the selective enrichment of the clenbuterol, and their structure and oxygen functionalities could be tailor-made by a molecular imprinting process. The clenbuterol imprinting was adequately demonstrated to not only increase the particle size (~52 nm vs. ~42 nm) and create cavities for the accommodation of the clenbuterol molecules, but also reduce the oxygen functionalities of the resulting molecularly imprinted polymer microspheres (MIPMs) by approximately 4 at.%, which is believed to correlate with the high specificity of the MIPMs. Various characterization methods were employed to evidence these findings, including scanning electron microscopy, BET measurements, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and elemental mapping examination. More importantly, the MIPMs showed a markedly superior enrichment capability towards clenbuterol to the counterpart, that is, non-molecularly imprinted polymer microspheres (NIPMs). Compared to the NIPMs without specificity for clenbuterol, the MIPMs exhibited an impressive selectivity to clenbuterol, with the relative selectivity coefficient (k′) values largely exceeding 1, thus corroborating that the useful molecular imprinting led to the generation of the binding sites complementary to the clenbuterol molecule in the size and functionalities. The MIPMs were also employed as the stationary phase to fabricate molecularly imprinting solid-phase extraction column, and the spike recovery was demonstrated to be not significantly decreased even after nine cycles. Furthermore, the reliability of the method was also evidenced through the comparison of the MIPMs prepared from different batches.

Abstract:

Melamine molecularly imprinted polymeric microsphere (MIPM) was initially prepared by two-step seed swelling polymerization methods. Factors affecting the particle morphologies including emulsifier, dispersant, the water-oil ratio, and etc were optimized in order to obtain the MIPMs with a final narrow particle diameter of 3-5 μm. Characterization of the resulted polymeric microspheres was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), infrared absorption spectroscopy (IR), and mercury analyzer (MA), respectively. When the initial concentration of melamine was 1.0 mmol L-1, the affinity capacity of MIPMs was 2.0 times than that of NIPMs. Scatchard analysis suggested melamine were recognized by the prepared MIPMs with two classes of binding sites. The apparent maximum binding capacity and dissociation constant were calculated to be 43.2 μmol g-1 (Qmax1) and 2.2×10-4 mol L-1 (Kd1) for high affinity site, whilst to be 102.3 μmol g-1 (Qmax2) and 1.3×10-3 mol L-1 (Kd2) for low affinity site, respectively. Obvious molecular effects towards melamine were further confirmed by the comparative HPLC experiments using NIPMs and MIPMs as the stationary phases, respectively.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Characterizing denitrification rates in aquatic ecosystems is essential to understanding how systems may respond to increased nutrient loading. Thus, it is important to ensure the precision and accuracy of the methods employed for measuring denitrification rates. The acetylene (C2H2) inhibition method is a simple technique for estimating denitrification. However, potential problems, such as inhibition of nitrification and incomplete inhibition of nitrous oxide reduction, may influence rate estimates. Recently, membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) has been used to measure denitrification in aquatic systems. Comparable results were obtained with MIMS and C2H2 inhibition methods when chloramphenicol was added to C2H2 inhibition assay mixtures to inhibit new synthesis of denitrifying enzymes. Dissolved-oxygen profiles indicated that surface layers of sediment cores subjected to the MIMS flowthrough incubation remained oxic whereas cores incubated using the C2H2 inhibition methods did not. Analysis of the microbial assemblages before and after incubations indicated significant changes in the sediment surface populations during the long flowthrough incubation for MIMS analysis but not during the shorter incubation used for the C2H2 inhibition method. However, bacterial community changes were also small in MIMS cores at the oxygen transition zone where denitrification occurs. The C2H2 inhibition method with chloramphenicol addition, conducted over short incubation intervals, provides a cost-effective method for estimating denitrification, and rate estimates are comparable to those obtained by the MIMS method.

Abstract:

AbstractMassive stars are those stars with initial masses above about 8 times that of the sun, eventually leading to catastrophic explosions in the form of supernovae. These represent the most massive and luminous stellar component of the Universe, and are the crucibles in which the lion's share of the chemical elements are forged. These rapidly-evolving stars drive the chemistry, structure and evolution of galaxies, dominating the ecology of the Universe - not only as supernovae, but also during their entire lifetimes - with far-reaching consequences. Although the existence of magnetic fields in massive stars is no longer in question, our knowledge of the basic statistical properties of massive star magnetic fields is seriously incomplete. The Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) Project represents a comprehensive, multidisciplinary strategy by an international team of recognized researchers to address the “big questions” related to the complex and puzzling magnetism of massive stars. This paper present the first results of the MiMeS Large Program at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope.
