Abstract:

In the larger airways, the blood circulation forms a subepithelial (mucosal) and outer (peribronchial) microvascular network. This raises the possibility that blood flow in these two networks is regulated independently. We used hypoxemia as a stimulus to induce changes in tracheal mucosal blood flow normalized for systemic arterial pressure (Qtr n) measured with an inert soluble gas technique and total bronchial blood flow (Qbr) and normalized Qbr (Qbrn) measured with an electromagnetic flow probe in anesthetized sheep. Fifteen minutes of hypoxemia [PO2 40 +/- 7 (SD) Torr] decreased mean Qtr n from 1.1 +/- 0.4 to 0.8 +/- 0.4 ml.min-1.mmHg-1.10(2) (-27%; P less than 0.05; n = 7) and increased mean Qbr n from 12.1 +/- 3.2 to 17.1 +/- 5.4 ml.min-1.mmHg-1.10(2) (+41%; P less than 0.05; n = 6). The rise in Qbr correlated with cardiac output (r = 0.68; P less than 0.05). Phentolamine pretreatment (0.1 mg/kg iv) blunted the hypoxemia-related decrease of mean Qtr n (-8%; P = NS). Tyramine (2.5 mg) applied locally to the trachea decreased mean Qtr n significantly after 30 and 45 min by 31 and 19%, respectively (P less than 0.05). 6-Hydroxydopamine (0.2 mg 4 times for 1 h locally applied) prevented the hypoxemia-induced as well as local tyramine-induced decrease in mean Qtr n (0 and 0%).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract:

In lightly anesthetized adult sheep, we determined tracheal mucosal blood flow (Qtr) by measuring the steady-state uptake of dimethyl ether from a tracheal chamber created by an endotracheal tube provided with two cuffs. Qtr normalized for carotid arterial pressure [Qtr(n)] was determined before and after the exposure of the tracheal mucosa to aerosolized phenylephrine (0.25-2.0 mg), isoproterenol (0.05-0.8 mg), and methacholine (2.5-20 mg). The same doses of methacholine were also administered during the intravenous infusion of vasopressin. The measurements were repeated after intravenous pretreatment with the respective antagonists phentolamine, propranolol, and atropine. Mean +/- SE base-line Qtr(n) was 1.2 +/- 0.1 ml.min-1.mmHg-1.10(2). The autonomic antagonists had no effect on mean Qtr(n). Phenylephrine produced a dose-dependent decrease in mean Qtr(n) (-70% at the highest dose), which was blunted by phentolamine, and isoproterenol produced a dose-dependent increase in mean Qtr(n) (40% at the highest dose), which was blocked by propranolol. Methacholine failed to alter mean Qtr(n) even when Qtr was first decreased by vasopressin. We conclude that in lightly anesthetized adult sheep 1) base-line Qtr(n) is not under adrenergic or cholinergic control, 2) a locally administered alpha-adrenergic agonist decreases and beta-adrenergic agonist increases Qtr(n) via specific receptor activation, and 3) a locally administered cholinergic muscarinic agonist has no effect on Qtr(n).

Abstract:

The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of five feed restriction programs (FRP) on broiler performance and carcass yield. 425 Cobb 500® broilers were distributed in a completely randomized design with five FRPs and five replicates with 17 broilers. The FRPs were: Program 1 (P1): consumption ad libitum (AL) of control diet from 14 to 42 days; P2: quantitative restriction (QTR) of 10% of AL consumption from 14 to 28 days and AL consumption from 29 to 42 days; P3: AL consumption from 14 to 28 days and QTR from 29 to 42 days; P4: qualitative restriction (QLR) of 10% of the level of crude protein and essential amino acids from 14 to 28 days and AL consumption from 29 to 42 days; and P5: AL consumption from 14 to 28 days and QLR from 29 to 42 days. The broilers of the AL treatment gained more weight (p≤0.01), but had a similar FCR (P>0.05) compared to broilers submitted to QTR from 29 to 42 days. In addition, broilers fed QTR from 14 to 28 days presented a lower FI and a better FCR (p≤0.01) in relation to broilers fed QLR of 14 to 28 (P4) and 29 to 42 days (P5). The broilers fed QTR of 14 to 28 days diet presented a similar FCR as broilers fed AL. The 10% reduction in AL consumption of 14 to 28 d is a viable economical alternative to feed broilers up to 42 days of age.

Abstract:

(1) Quadriceps tendon rupture (QTR) is a rare pathology, usually occurring in elderly patients with comorbidities, requiring surgical therapy. The aim of this study was to analyze rupture patterns and concomitant injuries using preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to evaluate patient-reported outcome measures. (2) In this retrospective cross-sectional study, 113 patients with QTR were screened and rupture patterns/concomitant injuries (n = 33) were analyzed via MRI. Clinical outcome was assessed in 45 patients using the International Knee Documentation (IKDC) and Lysholm score with a mean follow-up of 7.2 (±5.0) years. (3) The evaluation of preoperative MRIs showed multiple ruptures of subtendons in 67% with concomitant knee injuries in 45%. The most common associated pathology detected using MRI was pre-existing tendinosis (31.2%). Surgical refixation demonstrated good results with a mean post-operative IKDC score of 73.1 (±14.1) and mean Lysholm score of 84.2 (±16.1). Patient characteristics and individual radiologic rupture patterns did not significantly affect the clinical outcome of patients. (4) Acute QTRs are complex injuries with common involvement of multiple subtendons. MRI imaging can be useful for achieving an accurate diagnosis as pre-existing tendinosis as well as concomitant injuries are common, and might be useful for providing an individual surgical strategy and improving outcomes.

Abstract:

Extratropical cyclones (ETCs) are known to intensify due to three vertically interacting positive potential vorticity perturbations that are associated with potential temperature anomalies close to the surface (θB), condensational heating in the lower-level atmosphere (qsat), and stratospheric intrusion in the upper-level atmosphere (qtr). This study presents the first climatological assessment of how much each of these three mechanisms contributes to the intensity of extreme ETCs. Using relative vorticity at 850 hPa as a measure of ETC intensity, results show that in about half of all cases the largest contributions during maximum ETC intensity are associated with qsat (53% of all ETCs), followed by qtr (36%) and θB (11%). The relative frequency of storms that are dominated by qsat is higher 1) during warmer months (61% of all ETCs during warmer months) compared to colder months (50%) and 2) in the Pacific (56% of all ETCs in the Pacific) compared to the Atlantic (46%). The relative frequency of ETCs that are dominated by θB is larger 1) during colder months (13%) compared to warmer months (3%), 2) in the Atlantic (15%) compared to the Pacific (8%), and 3) in western (11%–20%) compared to eastern ocean basins (4%–9%). These findings are based on piecewise potential vorticity inversion conducted for intense ETCs that occurred from 1980 to 2016 in the Northern Hemisphere (3273 events; top 7%). The results may serve as a baseline for evaluating ETC biases and uncertainties in global climate models.

Abstract:

Objectives. The objective of this study is to explore the gender discrepancy in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods. A retrospective analysis of Qatar Trauma Registry (QTR) was conducted among patients (age ≥14y) who were hospitalized with TBI. Data were collected and analyzed based on the gender and age. Results. Over 5 years (2014-2019), 9, 309 trauma patients (90% males and 10% females) were admitted to the trauma center. Of these, 1, 620 (17.4%) patients were hospitalized with TBI (94% males and 6% females). Motor vehicle crash was the main mechanism of injury (MOI) in females, and fall from height was predominant among males. Subdural hematoma (SDH) was the more frequent type of TBI in both genders, but it was more prevalent in male patients ≥55 years. Injury severity score, Glasgow coma scale, and head abbreviated injury score were comparable between males and females. The length of stay in the ICU and hospital and mortality were similar in both genders. However, mortality was higher among males ≥55 years when compared to 14-54 years within the same gender (21% vs. 12%, p = 0.002 ). The crude and adjusted odds ratio did not show that gender is a significant predictor of mortality among TBI patients. Conclusions. Although the incidence and MOI of TBI show significant differences between male and female patients, the severity and outcomes are comparable.

Abstract:

Abstract The utilization of natural plant secondary compounds as feed additives in animal nutrition has been extensively studied because of their ability to modify digestive and metabolic functions. Condensed tannin (CT) supplementation can potentially alter ruminal fermentation, and mitigate methane (CH4) emissions. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of quebracho CT extract (QT; Schinopsis balansae) within a roughage-based diet on overall fermentability and CH4 production utilizing the in vitro gas production technique (IVGP). Twenty rumen cannulated steers (227 ± 19 kg) were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments (n=4): QT at 0, 1, 2, and 3% of DM (QT0, QT1, QT2, and QT3). A roughage-based diet containing 88% bermudagrass hay and 12% concentrate was fed daily at 2.1% of shrunk body weight. The animals were adapted to the basal diet for 24-d then introduced to predetermined treatments for 35d. Rumen inoculum was collected weekly from each steer to perform the incubations. Two hundred milligrams of air-dried base diet were incubated for 48-h with a composite rumen inoculum for each treatment over 5 wk. Kinetic analysis of cumulative 48h gas production was performed using Gasfit. Measurements of CH4 were performed via gas chromatography and digested residue was determined post-incubation. Data were analyzed using a random coefficients model. Total gas production was higher for QT0 compared to QT1 and QT3 (P = 0.001), but not different from QT2 (P = 0.554). The fractional rate of gas production was higher for QT2 compared to QT0 (P = 0.011). First and second pool gas production decreased linearly as QT inclusion increased (P = 0.042 and 0.010, respectively). There was no dietary effect in ivNDFD (P = 0.567). However, there was a linear tendency to decrease CH4 production with the addition of QT (P=0.071) likely due to changes in the microbial population.

Abstract:

Abstract Rumen acidosis is a common metabolic disorder occurring when organic acid production exceeds clearance capacity, reducing ruminal pH. Acidosis occurrence has been directly correlated to the ratio of concentrate to forage in the diet. However, the rates of substrate fermentation and acid absorption vary at different locations in the rumen. The objective of this study was to determine the pH in different locations of the rumen using 16 rumenally- cannulated steers (309 ± 43 kg) receiving quebracho extract (QT; Schinopsis balansae) within a grower-type diet [25:75 forage-to-concentrate, dry matter (DM) % basis]. Animals were randomly assigned to one of four dietary treatments (n = 4): QT at 0, 1, 2, and 3% of DM (QT0, QT1, QT2, and QT3). Animals were adapted to the basal diet (QT0) for 12-d before being introduced to predetermined treatments for four weeks, with feed provided twice daily to allow ad libitum intake. Weekly measurements of ruminal fluid pH and redox potential (Eh) were taken four h post-feeding using a portable pH and redox meter probe in four locations of the rumen (cranial sac, ventral sac, dorsal sac, and reticulum). Data were analyzed using a random coefficients model with the pen as a random effect and week as repeated measures. The DM intake was included as a covariate. There was no interaction among diet, location, and week (P ≥ 0.925) on pH. Overall, ruminal pH was lower for QT0 and QT1 compared to QT3 (P < 0.001). Ruminal pH in the cranial sac and reticulum was greater than in the dorsal sac (5.98, 6.03, and 5.87, respectively; P = 0.001). Redox potential was lower for QT0 in week 1 than all other treatments (P = 0.042). This study indicated that pH differs among locations of the rumen regardless of QT supplementation level and days on feed.

Abstract:

Abstract The objective was to determine the effect of quebracho tannin extract (QT; Schinopsis balansae) within a roughage-based diet upon dry matter and neutral detergent fiber digestibility (DMD and NDFD, respectively). The use of natural plant secondary compounds as a feed additive in animal nutrition has been studied due to their ability to modify digestive and metabolic functions in both ruminants and non-ruminants. Condensed tannin (CT) supplementation has demonstrated potential to mitigate CH4 emissions, but this commonly corresponds with reduced ruminal fiber degradation. However, prolonged supplementation of CT in a roughage-based diet is limited within the literature. Twenty rumen cannulated animals (227 ± 19 kg) were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments (n = 4): QT at 0, 1, 2, and 3% of DM (QT0, QT1, QT2, and QT3). A maintenance-fed diet containing 88% bermudagrass hay and 12% concentrate was offered at 2.1% of shrunk body weight. Steers were adapted to the base diet for 24-d then introduced to predetermined treatments for 35 d. In situ digestibility data were collected weekly over 5 wk. Digestibility estimates were determined using 48-h in situ disappearance of DM and NDF. Data were analyzed using a random coefficients model. There was no difference in DM or NDF intake for dietary treatment (P = 0.66, and P = 0.65, respectively). However, on week 2 QT2 had lower DMD (P = 0.03) and tended to decrease NDFD (P = 0.06) compared to QT1, and QT3. In contrast, there was no observed difference (P = 0.22) in DMD, and NDFD on week 1, 3, 4, 5, and when the 5-wk data were combined. The addition of QT up to 3% DM in a roughage-based diet does not sacrifice DMD and NDFD over time, but it is not clear as to why QT2 affected DMD and NDFD.

Abstract:

Purpose: To examine the influence of the match period on the movement patterns of hockey players according to their playing positions under the introduction of quarters (QTRs). Methods: Sixteen subelite-level Spanish National League male hockey players participated in the study (age: 25.5 [2.9] y; body mass: 74.6 [5.5] kg). Global positioning system devices were used to monitor players’ running performance during 17 competitive matches (113 match-play profiles). Only players who played for at least 85% of the game were analyzed. Players were placed into 3 position categories: backs, midfielders, and forwards. Results: Moderate to large differences in relative total distance were found between midfielders and both backs and forwards in all QTRs (effect size [ES]: 0.4–1.2). ES for total distance was moderate for midfielders when compared with backs during the first QTR (moderate ES: 0.7). Midfielders and forwards covered more distance (m and m·min−1) in high-velocity zones than backs (ES: 0.6). Acceleration activities (n·min−1) at moderate and high intensities decreased in all groups across QTRs with moderate to very large ES (ES: 0.4–1.4). Relative sprinting distance decreased in backs (ES: 0.8). Backs had fewer repeated-sprint bouts (n and n·min−1) as the game progressed (ES: 1.0). Conclusions: During competitive match play, a degree of positional variation can be observed across QTRs. The relative distance and the number of accelerations and decelerations at moderate and high intensity decreased across QTRs. No between-QTRs differences in high-speed activity were reported.

Abstract:

The dynamic changes of the thawing and freezing processes of the active layer cause seasonal subsidence and uplift over a large area on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau due to ongoing climate warming. To analyze and investigate the seasonal freeze–thaw process of the active layer, we employ the new small baseline subset (NSBAS) technique based on a piecewise displacement model, including seasonal deformation, as well as linear and residual deformation trends, to retrieve the surface deformation of the Beiluhe basin. We collect 35 Sentinel-1 images with a 12 days revisit time and 9 TerraSAR-X images with less-than two month revisit time from 2018 to 2019 to analyze the type of the amplitude of seasonal oscillation of different ground targets on the Beiluhe basin in detail. The Sentinel-1 results show that the amplitude of seasonal deformation is between −62.50 mm and 11.50 mm, and the linear deformation rate ranges from −24.50 mm/yr to 5.00 mm/yr (2018–2019) in the study area. The deformation trends in the Qinghai–Tibet Railway (QTR) and Qinghai–Tibet Highway (QTH) regions are stable, ranging from −18.00 mm to 6 mm. The InSAR results of Sentinel-1 and TerraSAR-X data show that seasonal deformation trends are consistent, exhibiting good correlations 0.78 and 0.84, and the seasonal and linear deformation rates of different ground targets are clearly different on the Beiluhe basin. Additionally, there are different time lags between the maximum freezing uplift or thawing subsidence and the maximum or minimum temperature for the different ground target areas. The deformation values of the alpine meadow and floodplain areas are higher compared with the alpine desert and barren areas, and the time lags of the freezing and thawing periods based on the Sentinel-1 results are longest in the alpine desert area, that is, 86 days and 65 days, respectively. Our research has important reference significance for the seasonal dynamic monitoring of different types of seasonal deformation and the extensive investigations of permafrost in Qinghai Tibet Plateau.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: The advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors has changed the natural history of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), promoting molecular remission in a high number of patients. In 40-60% of the patients that reach deep molecular responses (RM4.5 or more) and are using imatinib mesylate for 24 months or longer, a molecular response can be maintained after the cessation of the drug. Besides improving life quality in those patients, to withdraw the medication could have a great economic impact in the health system, what is extremely important in third world countries. Objective: To estimate the economic impact of stopping imatinib mesylate in CML chronic phase patients, receiving treatment for at least 36 months and presenting deep molecular response, determinate by BCR-ABL transcripts with quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR), in the last 24 months. Patients and methods: A single center observational retrospective study, including all patients diagnosed with chronic phase CML, confirmed by cytogenetic or molecular exams receiving treatment at a tertiary hospital in Brazil. All patients received imatinib mesylate either in first or second line therapy. Patients presenting deep molecular response for at least 24 months, under imatinib mesylate for 36 months or more were considered eligible for discontinuation the drug. The annual coast with the treatment was estimated considering the coasts of the medication and the QRT-PCR molecular exams in the Brazilian public health system. Results: In this study, 169 patients date were analyzed, the median follow up time is 5 years (range 1-13 years), 26 (15%) of those patients are eligible for stopping imatinib mesylate according to the criteria previously mentioned. Considering the requirement of QRT-PCR exams every month in the first year of discotinuating the drug, these patients would coast proximally 1.550,00 dollars/ patients year for the public health system. This coast could be reduced to 800,00 and 520 dollars/patients year, after the second and third year of the medication withdraw, when monitoring molecular response can be done every 2 and 3 months respectively. The patients receiving imatinib mesylate, and having QTR-PCR exams every six months, in the other hand, would coast the Brazilian public health system over 31.000, 00dollars /patients year. Stopping imatinib mesylate could reduce CML chronic phase treatment coasts in up to 95%. Discussion: Discontinuating imatinib mesylate is something that must be done only in clinical trial. The economic impact projection shown in this study observed the eligibility criteria described in the literature. If stopping imatinib mesylate proves to be a safe option, studies promoting it should be done in Brazil and other third world countries, as a manner of saving resources in the health system. Furthermore, the impact in life quality free of adverse effects and the possibility of gestation in young woman is not to be ignored. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract:

Cardiac arrest has been described in children with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Aim. To evaluate QTc and QTd in type 1 diabetic children with DKA. Methods. Twelve-lead ECG was done to 30 type 1 diabetic children with DKA at presentation and recovery. Corrected QT interval and QT dispersion (QTd) were assessed. Results. QTc and QTd mean values were significantly decreased in patients after than before DKA recovery (P<0.01). Procedure. Sixteen patients (53, 3%) had prolonged QTc during DKA (range 451–538 ms) that dropped to one patient after recovery, his QTc (453 ms) returned to normal 5 days after hospital discharge. Nineteen patients (63.3%) had prolonged QTd (>50 ms) that dropped to three after recovery. The fact that three patients had normal QTc but prolonged QTd increases the privilege of QTd over QTc as a better marker for cardiac risk in those patients. Anion gap was significantly associated with QTc and QTd prolongation (P<0.0001). Patients had no electrolyte abnormalities or hypoglycemia to account for QTc or QTd prolongation. Conclusion. Prolonged QTc and QTd frequently occur in DKA positively correlated to ketosis. Cardiac monitoring for patients with DKA is mandatory.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) remains a high risk for burn patients due to their compromised integumentary system. Additionally, identifying bloodstream infections secondary to a burn infection versus a central line remains a challenge. Literature review suggests multidisciplinary CLABSI bundles (MCB) demonstrate reduction of CLABSIs. This research looks at the use of a MCB compared to the application of the standard CLABSI bundle alone reduce CLABSI incidence and standardized infection ratios over the past two years in the Burn Center. We hypothesize a MCB will have sustained CLABSI SIR and incidence reduction over time. Methods Infection Prevention & Control CLABSI data collection on all burn patients pre-intervention (2017-2018) and post-intervention (2019-2020) were performed as a quality improvement project; IRB was not obtained. In addition to the CLABSI Bundle (optimal site, aseptic insertion, aseptic maintenance, timely removal, & education), MCB was also implemented in Qtr. 1, 2019. MCB includes necessity of line discussion during daily and multidisciplinary rounds, strategic blood culture collection upon admission/transfers for patients with existing central line, improved nursing and provider documentation of burn infection per CDC definitions, integration of CLABSI reviews in tiered Burn Quality Improvement Program, and universal zero CLABSI goal setting for RNs. Two-sample t-test will be used to compare results pre-intervention (2017-18) & post-intervention (2019-20). CLABSI incidence and standardized Infection ratio will be illustrated per year. Results The post-intervention CLABSI SIR data (M= 0.08, SD=0.11) significantly improved when compared to the pre-intervention CLABSI SIR data (M= 0.77, SD= 0.169), t(2)=4.72, p=0.02. The post-intervention CLABSI incidence data (M=0.5, SD=0.70) significantly improved when compared to the pre-intervention CLABSI incidence data (M=4.5, SD= 0.70), t(2)= 5.65, p= 0.01 Conclusions The combination of the CLABSI bundle with the MCB demonstrated favorable CLABSI SIR and incidence reduction, as literature suggests. Implementing multimodal, multidisciplinary interventions must be a priority for sustained CLABSI reduction.

Abstract:

O objetivo do presente estudo foi de avaliar a ação da QT como uma medida protetora na dentina erosivamente desmineralizada em três dias de erosão cíclica. Blocos de dentina humana radicular foram divididos aleatoriamente em três grupos (n = 13), de acordo com o tratamento de dentina submetida ao desafio com ácido clorídrico: água destilada (AD), e QT 10% em aplicações de 1 minuto (QT1) e 5 minutos de aplicação de QT (QT5). Foram realizados procedimentos cíclicos repetidos durante um período de três dias, incluindo formação de película, erosão, tratamentos com soluções testes (AD, QT1 e QT5) e remineralização com saliva artificial. Após a formação da película, cada bloco foi submetido a uma solução de ácido clorídrico por 60 segundos. Cada espécime foi então lavado com água destilada e tratado com a solução de tratamento em seus respectivos tempos, e então, os espécimes foram imersos em saliva artificial por 1 hora, realizado sob agitação a 100 rpm a 37 ° C. Este ciclo foi repetido três vezes por dia durante três dias. A variável dependente avaliada foi o desgaste dentário, a través do uso do perfilômetro de contato Hommel Tester T1000. A média e desvio padrão por grupo foram calculados e os procedimentos estatísticos foram realizados utilizando o pacote estatístico SPSS 17.0 para Windows. O teste de Kolmogorov Smirnov foi aplicado a todos os grupos para verificar a distribuição normal dos erros. Como os valores foram rotineiramente distribuídos por todos os grupos, ANOVA e o teste de Tukey foram usados para fins comparativos. O nível de significância foi estabelecido em 5%. Para o desgaste dental, e houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos testados. Logo, o composto ativo interferiu na perda do desgaste, em que QT1 e QT5 foram semelhantes entre si, e ambas estatisticamente diferente ao grupo controle AD. A QT é uma promissora alternativa na prevenção do processo erosivo.

Abstract:

Many ischaemic stroke patients are ineligible for thrombolytic therapy due to unknown onset time. Quantitative MRI (qMRI) is a potential surrogate for stroke timing. Rats were subjected to permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion and qMRI parameters including hemispheric differences in apparent diffusion coefficient, T2-weighted signal intensities, T1 and T2 relaxation times (qT1, qT2) and f1, f2 and Voverlap were measured at hourly intervals at 4.7 or 9.4 T. Accuracy and sensitivity for identifying strokes scanned within and beyond 3 h of onset was determined. Accuracy for Voverlap, f2 and qT2 (>90%) was significantly higher than other parameters. At a specificity of 1, sensitivity was highest for Voverlap (0.90) and f2 (0.80), indicating promise of these qMRI indices in the clinical assessment of stroke onset time.

Abstract:

In this work we study the computing capabilities as well as some dynamical properties of an automaton called M4R. This automaton corresponds to the mixing of the energy profiles of two independent copies of the Q2R automaton with frustrations. We associate to each copy of a Q2R an equivalent automaton M2R, which, with the Margoluos neighborhood, exhibits the local changes of the Q2R energy.1 By doing so we generalize the dynamics by upgrading M2R according to four partitions of the lattice. This new dynamics — called M4R — is based on a local rule which corresponds to the local energy change of two independent copies of Q2R. The M4R model is reversible and conservative (magnetization is constant in time) and it has properties of a discrete billiard (as some of the hydrodynamics discrete versions of Navier-Stokes models). Moreover, this automaton has powerful computing capabilities. In fact, by using some special configurations of M4R, we exhibit universal gates and register that allow us to code any algorithm.

We describe a two-level multiply connected belief-network representation of the QMR knowledge base of internal medicine. In the belief-network representation of the QMR knowledge base, we use probabilities derived from the QMR disease profiles, from QMR imports of findings, and from National Center for Health Statistics hospital-discharge statistics.We use a stochastic simulation algorithm for inference on the belief network. This algorithm computes estimates of the posterior marginal probabilities of diseases given a set of findings. In Part II of the series, we compare the performance of QMR to that of our probabilistic system on cases abstracted from continuing medical education materials from Scientific American Medicine. In addition, we analyze empirically several components of the probabilistic model and simulation algorithm.

Abstract:

Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) viral load is useful for monitoring disease progression in HIV-infected individuals. We generated RNA standards of HIV-1 and internal control (IC) byin vitrotranscription and evaluated its performance in a quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay. HIV-1 and IC standards were obtained at high RNA concentrations, without DNA contamination. When these transcripts were included as standards in a qRT-PCR assay, it was obtained a good accuracy ( log10unit of the expected results) in the quantification of the HIV-1 RNA international standard and controls. The lower limit detection achieved using these standards was 511.0 IU/mL. A high correlation () was obtained between the in-house qRT-PCR assay and the NucliSens easyQ HIV-1 test (bioMerieux) for HIV-1 RNA quantitation with clinical samples (). HIV-1 and IC RNA transcripts, generated in this study, proved to be useful as standards in an in-house qRT-PCR assay for determination of HIV-1 viral load.

Abstract:

<p>Coastal southeast Queensland is one of the most intensively studied archaeological regions of Australia. While the Fraser Island World Heritage Area is the most famous landscape in this coastal region, no archaeological excavations have been undertaken and its ancient Aboriginal past remains poorly understood. The Fraser Island Archaeological Project (FIAP) redresses this situation. Excavations at Waddy Point 1 Rockshelter (WP1) in July/August 2001 reveal a focus on local resources (shellfish, fish and tool stone) in the last c.900 years. This finding is consistent with McNiven's (1999) regionalisation model which posits marine resource intensification and the development of separate residential groups occupying the dune systems of Cooloola and Fraser Island in the last 1,000 years. Further excavation will be required to define the base of the cultural deposit of WP1, which may be early Holocene given arrival of the sea off the headland c.10,000 years ago.</p>

Abstract:

C-type cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS-C), one of the three major CMS types in maize, has a promising application prospect in hybrid seed production. However, the complex genetic mechanism underlying the fertility restoration of CMS-C remains poorly understood. The maize inbred line A619 is one of the rare strong restorer lines carrying the restorer gene Rf4, but different fertility segregation ratios are found in several F2 populations derived from crosses between isocytoplasmic allonucleus CMS-C lines and A619. In the present study, the segregation ratios of fertile to sterile plants in the (CHuangzaosi × A619) F2 and BC1F1 populations (36.77:1 and 2.36:1, respectively) did not follow a typical monogenic model of inheritance, which suggested that some F2 and BC1F1 plants displayed restored fertility even without Rf4. To determine the hidden locus affecting fertility restoration, next-generation sequencing-based QTL-seq was performed with two specific extreme bulks consisting of 30 fertile and 30 sterile rf4rf4 individuals from the F2 population. A major QTL related to fertility restoration, designated qRf8-1, was detected on the long arm of chromosome 8 in A619. Subsequently, qRf8-1 was further validated and narrowed down to a 17.93-Mb genomic interval by insertion and deletion (InDel) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker-based traditional QTL mapping, explaining 12.59% (LOD = 25.06) of the phenotypic variation. Thus, using genetic analyses and molecular markers, we revealed another fertility restoration system acting in parallel with Rf4 in A619 that could rescue the male sterility of CHuangzaosi. This study not only expands the original fertility restoration system but also provides valuable insights into the complex genetic mechanisms underlying the fertility restoration of CMS-C.

Abstract:

We answer an open question about Quantum Key Recycling (QKR): Is it possible to put the message entirely in the qubits without increasing the number of qubits compared to existing QKR schemes? We show that this is indeed possible. We introduce a prepare-and-measure QKR protocol where the communication from Alice to Bob consists entirely of qubits. As usual, Bob responds with an authenticated one-bit accept/reject classical message. Compared to Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), QKR has reduced round complexity. Compared to previous qubit-based QKR protocols, our scheme has far less classical communication. We provide a security proof in the universal composability framework and find that the communication rate is asymptotically the same as for QKD with one-way postprocessing.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disease caused by mutation in the PIG-A gene. When expressed, it encodes a protein that is crucial in glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis. The mutation of this gene causes plasma membrane GPI anchor biosynthesis deficiency, cell membrane structure alteration, signal transduction pathway blockage and vulnerability to complement complex attack. Despite these deficiencies, PNH cells have a clonal advantage and this dominant expansion is the hallmark of PNH progression. The mechanism of this growth, however, is still unknown. Recently, multiple studies demonstrated that malignant cells harboring the PIG-A mutation appear to have a higher degree of genomic instability and disease progression. This led to the proposal of using the PIG-A gene mutation frequency as the biomarker of mutagenesis to evaluate the transgenic animal mutation or mutagenicity of test compounds. The PIG-A gene mutation assay is even considered as a valuable tool for quantifying mutational events in vivo and in vitro despite the mechanism remaining unknown. This study investigated the impacts PIG-A mutation in genomic stability, DNA damage response, and DNA damage checkpoint activity, which as a measure of cellular stability as well as a possible mechanism for clonal expansion. Methods: To investigate the relationship between PIG-A gene mutation status and DNA damage checkpoint activity we looked at 45 high-risk MDS/AML patients, 3 classic PNH patients and 12 healthy controls. Additionally, the TF-1 leukemia cell line was used to evaluate PIG-A wild-type vs PIG-A CRISPR knockout vs PIG-A siRNA transient suppression. H2AX/ɣH2AX, ⍺-pChk1, ⍺-pChk2, ⍺-ubPCNA, and ⍺-pRPA proteins and RNA levels were used as a quantitative indicator of DNA damage repair activity via qTR-PCR and western blot. The comet assay and fiber combing assay were further applied to explore the DNA damage and cellular replication events. RNAseq analysis was used to explore the impact of PIG-A mutation in global gene expression. Results: The in vitro results from the leukemia cell lines with various PIG-A mutation statuses showed that the PIG-A mutation decreases ɣH2AX expression. PIG-A mutation was also associated with down-regulated expression of ⍺-pChk1, ⍺-pChk2, ⍺-ubPCNA, and ⍺-pRPA proteins. The decreased levels of those gene expressions indicate that there is increased genomic stability and less repair activity at the DNA damage response checkpoint. The results of the comet assay support this data with the PIG-A mutated cells exhibiting significantly (p<0.01) shorter tail lengths than the wild-type counterparts. The fiber-combing assay showed a reduced helicase activity for DNA replication in PIG-A mutated cells. In patient samples, subjects with PNH showed significantly lower levels of ɣH2AX expression when compared to both healthy controls and AML/MDS patients. The comet assay revealed that PNH patients had decreased DNA double strand breaks and fiber combing assay showed a reduced DNA repair activity when compared to normal controls and AML patients with intact PIG-A gene expression (p<0.01). Additionally, RNAseq analysis reveals that the expression of 10/10 genes involved in the DNA repair mechanism were down-regulated in PIG-A mutated cells when compared to wild-type control in both cell lines and patient samples. Conclusion: The above-mentioned results showed that there were decreased expressions of both DNA damage response checkpoint genes and repair genes in both the PIG-A CRISPR knockout leukemia cell lines as well as in the PNH patients. PIG-A mutation is globally associated with reduced DNA damage response capability and increased cellular stability. Our finding explains, at least partially, why PIG-A gene mutation status could be seen as a biomarker of mutagenesis and how PNH cells dominantly expend via clonal escape.

Abstract:

Abstract. The objectives of this research are to find out whether or not there is a significant of difference between the Reading Comprehension of the Twelfth Grade Students of SMAN 1 Jatitujuh taught before and after using the Question-Answer Relationship (QAR) strategy. The method in this study was quantitative. The subject of this research is students in XII MIPA 1. The research instrument used by the writer is a test (pre-test and post-test) The result of this research, it was found that of the reading comprehension of the twelfth-grade students of SMAN 1 Jatitujuh before being taught by using QAR strategy was sufficient, the mean is 69.71. Meanwhile of the reading comprehension of the twelfth grade students of SMAN 1 Jatitujuh after being taught by QAR strategy was categorized good, the mean is 85. Moreover, the calculation of the t-count, the score is 11.867 was higher than t-table, score is 2.032 (11.867 > 2.032) in level significance 5%. Based on the result above, it could be concluded that Question Answer Relationship (QAR) strategy could improve reading comprehension of the twelfth grade students of SMAN 1 Jatitujuh. In addition, the subjects also responded positively the implementation of QAR strategy.

Abstract:

Abstract Quantum Hall Resistance (QHR) standard replaced the physical resistance standard as a primary standard. Traditional QHR standard needs liquid helium to operate, which limits the application of the QHR standard. A graphene-based QHR standard with G-M cryocooler is realized, which does not need liquid helium and has been in operation continuously with high performance. It can meet extensive needs of accurate measurement of precision resistors and helps to promote the development of traceability flattening.
