Abstract
Zinc nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in silica were irradiated with swift heavy ions (SHIs) of seven different combinations of species and energies. The shape elongation induced by the irradiations was evaluated by optical linear dichroism (OLD) spectroscopy, which is a sensitive tool for determining the change in the mean aspect ratio (AR) of NPs. Although the mean AR change indicated a linear fluence dependence in the low- and medium-fluence regions, it indicated a nonlinear dependence in the high-fluence region. The data reveal that the elongation efficiency of Zn is correlated with the electronic stopping power 'Se in silica' and is not correlated with either the 'Se in Zn' or the nuclear stopping power. The elongation efficiency plotted as a function of the 'Se in silica' revealed a linear relationship, with a threshold value of ∼2 keV nm(-1), which is the same dependence exhibited by the ion-track formation in silica. The log-log plot showed that the elongation efficiency increased linearly with Se above a critical value of ∼3 keV nm(-1) and steeply decreased with Se to the power of 5 below the critical Se. The steep decrease can be ascribed to the discontinuous nature of the ion tracks, which is expected at Se ∼ 2-4 keV nm(-1) in silica. The fluence Φ dependences of AR - 1 under various irradiations are well-normalized with the electronic energy deposition of SHIs, i.e., the product of Se and Φ, with a Se greater than the same critical value of ∼3 keV nm(-1). The normalized data above the critical value fell on a linear relation, AR(Φ) - 1 ∝ SeΦ, for SeΦ < 2 keV nm(-3) and a sublinear relation, AR(Φ) - 1 ∝ (SeΦ)(1/2) for SeΦ > 2 keV nm(-3). On the basis of these experimental results, we discuss some insights into the elongation mechanism.

Abstract
Congenital dislocation of the knee popularly known as genu recurvatum; is a very rare condition, about 0.45% of all congenital anomalies. Furthermore isolated genu recurvatum is extremely rare because 60% of this condition is associated with other congenital anomalies. Congenital dislocation of hip is the commonest associated anomaly. Two babies 1 male and 1 female were born with severe hyperextension deformity of the knees about 30° degrees. Clinically and radiologically they were diagnosed as isolated genu recurvatum due to congenital dislocation of the knees. Gentle manipulation in the form of passive stretching and knee flexion was started at first day of life. The deformity of male and female baby was corrected in 34 and 30 days respectively. The babies were moving the knees and lower limbs normally at final follow up at 6 months follow up and were confirmed clinically and radiologically. Early recognition and immediate manipulation cures the condition fully in short time without operation.

Abstract
This paper looks at the design, fabrication and characterization of stackable microfluidic emulsion generators, with coefficients of variation as low as ~6% and with production rates as high as ~1 L h(-1). This work reports the highest throughput reported in the literature for a microfluidic device with simultaneous operation of liquid-liquid droplet generators. The device was achieved by stacking several layers of 128 flow-focusing droplet generators, organized in a circular array. These layers are interconnected via through-holes and fed with designated fractal distribution networks. The proposed layers were milled on poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) sheets and the stack was thermo-compression bonded to create a three-dimensional device with a high density of generators and an integrated hydraulic manifold. The effect of stacking multiple layers was studied and the results show that fabrication accuracy has a greater impact on the dispersity of the emulsion than the addition of more layers to the stack. Particle crystallization of drugs was also demonstrated as a possible application of this technology in industry.

Abstract
AIMS Data on metastatic Ewing's sarcoma family of tumours (ESFT) with uniform chemotherapy protocol are minimal. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a single institutional patient review of patients treated between June 2003 and November 2011 and evaluated on an intent-to-treat analysis. All patients received uniform chemotherapy: neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), surgery and/or radiotherapy as local treatment followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Local treatment was offered if the patient achieved a complete response and/or a partial response at both the primary and the metastatic site. RESULTS In total, 150/374 (40%) ESFT patients were metastatic, with a median age of 15 years (range: 2-50); a tumour diameter of 10 cm (range: 1.8-26). Most common metastatic sites were lung only (53; 35%), bone only (35; 23%) and combined bone/lung (25; 17%). Twenty patients underwent surgery; 55 patients received radical radiotherapy after NACT. After a median follow-up of 26.1 months (range: 1.6-101.6), 5 year event-free survival (EFS), overall survival and local control rate (LCR) were 9.1 ± 3.3%, 16.9 ± 5.2% and 31.8 ± 7.9%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed serum albumin ≤3.4 g/dl (P < 0.001) to predict inferior EFS. Tumour size >8 cm (P = 0.05), haemoglobin ≤10 g/dl (P = 0.04), hypoalbuminaemia (P = 0.003) and radical radiotherapy as local treatment (P = 0.03) predicted inferior overall survival. No factor significantly predicted LCR, although age ≤15 years (P = 0.08) and radical radiotherapy as local treatment (P = 0.09) had a trend towards inferior LCR. Hypoalbuminaemia was the only prognostic factor to predict EFS on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION This was the largest study of metastatic ESFT from Asia and identified a unique prognostic factor. In view of dismal prognosis with conventional chemotherapy in metastatic ESFT with hypoalbuminaemia, palliative intent therapy may be a potential therapeutic alternative for this subgroup of patients, especially in resource-challenged situations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few published studies describing the clinical results of patients uniformly treated for a Ewing-family tumor of an extremity. METHODS We performed a review of patients who had received uniform treatment consisting of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgery and/or radiation therapy as local treatment, and then adjuvant chemotherapy from June 2003 to November 2011 at a single institution. RESULTS There were 158 patients included in the study. The median age was fifteen years. Sixty-nine (44%) of the patients had metastatic disease at presentation. Fifty-seven patients underwent surgery, and forty-one received radical radiation therapy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. After a median of 24.3 months (range, 1.6 to ninety-seven months) of follow-up, the five-year event-free survival, overall survival, and local control rates (and standard error) were 24.1% ± 4.3%, 43.5% ± 6%, and 55% ± 6.8%, respectively, for the entire cohort and 36.4% ± 6.2%, 57.6% ± 7.4%, and 58.2% ± 7.9%, respectively, for patients without metastases. In the multivariate analysis, metastases predicted inferior event-free survival (p = 0.02) and overall survival (p = 0.03) rates in the entire cohort, whereas radical radiation therapy predicted an inferior local control rate in the entire cohort (p = 0.001) and in patients without metastases (p = 0.04). In the group with localized disease, there was no difference between the patients who received radical radiation therapy and those who underwent surgery with regard to tumor diameter (p = 0.8) or post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy response (p = 0.1). A white blood cell count (WBC) of >11 × 109/L predicted inferior event-free survival (p = 0.005) and local control (p = 0.02) rates for patients without metastases. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the largest study on extremity Ewing-family tumors treated with uniform chemotherapy and either surgical resection or radical radiation therapy in Asia. All possible efforts should be made to resect a primary tumor after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, as radical radiation therapy alone results in a poor local control rate despite a good post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy response. Patients without metastases but with a high WBC had inferior event-free survival and local control rates and may require more aggressive therapy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Implementation of colorectal cancer screening programme and provision of cancer service within certain timeframe has significantly increased the workload on endoscopy services. Direct access colonoscopy in primary care centers helps offload burden on conventional colonoscopy in secondary care, thereby reducing waiting times. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of direct access colonoscopy service. MATERIALS AND METHODS Provision of colonoscopy service in our healthcare trust was analysed retrospectively during a two-year period. Safety and feasibility of direct access colonoscopy was analysed against conventional colonoscopy. The groups were compared for findings at colonoscopy, procedural outcomes, and complications. RESULTS A total of 3468 colonoscopies were analysed. Of those, 1189(34.3%) were performed as direct access colonoscopy and 2279(65.7%) as conventional colonoscopy. No abnormality was detected in 408/1189(34.3%) and 825/2279(36.2%) patients in the direct access colonoscopy and conventional colonoscopy groups, respectively (p = 0.52). Colorectal cancer detection rate was similar between the groups; conventional colonoscopy vs direct access colonoscopy, 3.1% (68/2279) vs 3.2% (39/1189) (p = 0.85). However, there was significantly higher detection rate of polyps greater than 1 cm in conventional colonoscopy group compared to direct access colonoscopy group, 22.6%(518/2289) vs 12.6% (150/1189) (p = 0.02). Complication rates were comparable between the groups. CONCLUSION Direct access colonoscopy in primary care centers is safe and feasible. Colorectal cancer detection remains comparable to that of conventional colonoscopy in secondary care despite relatively lower polyp detection rate.

Abstract
The ion-irradiation induced synthesis of embedded Au nanoparticles (NPs) into glass from islands of Au on a glass substrate is studied in the context of recoiling atoms, sputtering and viscous flow. Cross sectional transmission electron microscopy studies revealed the formation of Au NPs embedded in the glass substrates by the 50 keV Si(-) ion irradiation of irregularly shaped Au nanostructures on the glass surfaces at a fluence of 3 × 10(16) ions/cm(2). The depth profiles of Au in the samples were obtained from high-resolution Rutherford backscattering spectrometry studies. The results from TRIDYN simulation reveal the role of various ion-induced processes during the synthesis of the embedded Au NPs, viz. sputtering and recoiling atoms. Simulation and experimental results suggest that the viscous flow is one of the major factors that are responsible for the embedding of Au nanoparticles into the glass substrate.

Abstract
Background: Oculomotor nerve palsy (OMNP) is a well-recognized complication of posterior communicating artery (PCOM) aneurysms. Only a few comparative studies have assessed the effect of clipping versus coiling on recovery from OMNP in PCOM aneurysms. A retrospective review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between PCOM aneurysm treatment and OMNP. Materials and Methods: Medical records of all patients presenting between January 2000 and February 2013 with intracranial aneurysm were searched. All patients with OMNP secondary to PCOM aneurysm were included for analysis. Patients undergoing surgical clipping or endovascular coiling were compared with respect to complete resolution of OMNP after aneurysm surgery (i.e., primary outcome). A meta-analysis of published studies of OMNP associated with PCOM aneurysm was performed after a MEDLINE search. Results: Seventeen patients with OMNP secondary to PCOM aneurysms met the inclusion criteria. Surgical clipping (seven of eight patients, or 87.5%) resulted in greater complete resolution of OMNP compared with endovascular coiling (four of nine patients, or 44.4%), P = 0.13. A meta-analysis of similar studies revealed that complete resolution of OMNP was more commonly associated with surgical clipping (36 of 43 patients, or 83.7%) than with endovascular coiling (29 of 55 patients, or 52.7%), yielding an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 6.04 [confidence interval (CI) =1.88-19.45, P = 0.003]. Multivariate analysis found that the degree of pre-operative OMNP (OR = 0.07, CI = 0.02-0.28, P = 0.001) and surgical clipping (OR = 6.37, CI = 1.73-23.42, P = 0.005) were significant factors that affected the complete recovery of OMNP. Conclusion: Complete recovery of OMNP with PCOM aneurysms is more commonly associated with surgical clipping than with endovascular coiling. Also, the degree of pre-operative OMNP and the treatment modality are significant factors that affect the complete recovery of OMNP.

Abstract
In this study, the biocontrol abilities of water-soluble and volatile metabolites of three different isolates of Trichoderma (T. asperellum, T. harzianum and Trichoderma spp.) against soil borne plant pathogen Rhizoctonia solani were investigated both in vitro and in vivo. The results showed for the first time that mycelial growth inhibition of the pathogen was 74.4-67.8% with water-soluble metabolites as compared to 15.3-10.6% with volatile metabolites in vitro. In vivo antagonistic activity of Trichoderma isolates against R. solani was evaluated on bean plants under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. We observed that T. asperellum was more effective and consistent, lowering disease incidence up to 19.3% in laboratory and 30.5% in green house conditions. These results showed that three isolates of Trichoderma could be used as effective biocontrol agents against R. solani.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: CDB4124, anti-progesterone suppresses the development of carcinogen-induced ER+/PR+ mammary tumors in rats, and may have implications for prevention and treatment of human breast cancer. We hypothesize that progesterone (P4) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) will accelerate mammary carcinogenesis induced by MNU, however CDB4124 will efficiently suppress tumor formation stimulated by progesterone.
Methods: ovary intact female Sprague Dawley rats received a single intraperitoneal injection of 50mg/kg MNU at 4-5 weeks of age. 30mg of CDB4124 and 25mg of P4 or MPA (90 release pellets, Innovative research of America, Inc) were implanted in dorsal area at 3 weeks and 4 weeks after MNU injection, respectively. 10-11 rats were used for each treatment group. Tumor incidence, latency, multiplicity, and burden were recorded weekly. 9 weeks after MNU injection all the mice were euthanized and mammary tumors and glands were fixed in 10% (v/v) neutral buffered formalin. Plasma concentrations of CDB4124 and its metabolite CDB4453 were determined by LC-MS/MS.
Results: The first tumor appeared in the control group at 5 weeks, and in the P4 and MPA treated groups at 6 weeks after MNU injection. 7 weeks after MNU injection, mammary tumor incidence of MPA and P4 treated groups were 80% and 50%, respectively compared to 30% in the control group. 9 weeks after MNU injection all MPA treated mice, 80% of P4 treated mice, and 60% of control mice developed tumors. Tumor incidence, latency, multiplicity, and tumor weight were summarized as mean ± SD in Table 1.

Tumor latency of CDB4124 treated groups was increased; tumor incidence and burden (g) of CDB4124 treated groups were decreased compared to P4 and MPA treated groups. In particular, tumor incidence and burden of CDB4124 + P4 treated group were significantly lower than those of the control group. Plasma CDB4124 and CDB4453 were 11.6 ±5.88 ng/mL and 3.4±1.68 ng/mL, respectively. Histopathology of tumors and mammary glands and immuno-histochemical evaluations of Ki67, activated caspase-3, CD34, ER, and PR are currently underway.
Conclusions: Our results indicated that natural progesterone promotes MNU- induced mammary tumor formation similar to synthetic progesterone, MPA in rats. Under this tumor permissive environment, CDB4124 provided excellent prevention efficacy, suggesting good potential as breast cancer prevention agent.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: The majority of breast cancers are estrogen and progesterone receptor positive (ER+PR+); hence targeting PRs with anti-progestins should be a useful strategy for breast cancer therapy. New generation anti-progestins lack the high anti-glucocorticoid activity of older agents; we evaluated one of these (CDB4124, telapristone) for specific inhibition of PR binding to the progesterone receptor element (PRE); effect on cell proliferation in T47D cells; and expression of PR target genes in normal human breast microstructures cultured in 3D conditions. Methods: To measure PRE activity in T47D cells dual luciferase reporter assay was performed, cells transfected with PRE-luc plasmid and treated for a 24h with vehicle, progesterone (P4), medroxyprogesterone (MPA), or a PR agonist (R5020), as well as three doses of CDB4124 (10nM, 100nM, 1μM) alone or in combination with P4 or MPA or R5020. Separately, T47D cells were simulated E2 plus P4 with and without CDB4124 for 72h and processed for cell cycle analysis by flow cytometer. For measurement of PR target genes, normal human breast microstructures were isolated after digestion of reduction mammoplasty samples. These microstructures were treated with E2 and P4 alone or in combination with CDB4124 for 24h. RNAs were collected after 24h and reverse-transcribed to cDNA for real time PCR. All experiments were performed in triplicate. Results: Increased in relative luciferase activity indicate an increase in PRE activity of T47D cells when treated with R5020 (2212.36±53.11 RLA) or P4 (1548.5 ± 158.84 RLA) or MPA (1422.63 ± 209.84 RLA) at 10nM alone compared to vehicle (33.08 ± 10.16 RLA). In contrast, 1μM CDB4124 alone have similar PRE activity (26.64 ± 3.94 RLA) in comparison to vehicle. The hormone-stimulated PRE activity was completely inhibited in T47D cells treated with 1μM CDB4124 combined with P4 (25.758 ± 2.32 RLA) or MPA (32.21 ± 2.46 RLA). In cells treated with R5020 plus CDB4124, 80% of PRE activity was inhibited (476.57± 5.72 RLA) in comparison to R5020 alone. Cell cycle data in T47D cells using flow cytometry showed significant arrest in G1 phase, with 12.6% decrease at 1nM E2+10nM P4+ 1μM CDB4124, and 14.9% decrease at 1nM E2+50nM P4+1μM CDB4124, relative to cells treated with hormone alone. The S-phase fraction also showed significant decrease when1μM CDB4124 was added to cells treated with 1nM E2+10nM P4 (12.4% decrease) and to 1nM E2+50nM P4 (10.5% decrease). CDB4124 treatment also led to decrease in expression of PR target genes i.e. RANKL, SKG1, FKB5 in normal breast microstructure in 3D culture in presence of P4 [50nM] alone or in combination with 1nM E2 plus P4 [50nM].Conclusion: CDB4124 is a potent antiprogestin; it abrogates PRE activity in the presence of R5020, or P4, or MPA. Furthermore, significant inhibition of hormone-induced cell proliferation is observed in T47D cells treated with CDB4124. In addition, PR target gene expressions were inhibited in normal breast microstructures, Based on these results, we expect that targeting PR by CDB4124 will inhibit PR regulated genes involved in cell proliferation and survival of breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Zona pellucida-based induction of acrosome reaction (AR) is a popular and well-accepted hypothesis. However, this hypothesis is being challenged in recent years and it has been proposed that the cumulus cells might be the site of AR. In our previous study, we reported the presence of a synaptic protein Liprin α3 on sperm acrosome, and proposed its role in AR. This study was designed to understand the role of Liprin α3 and its interacting proteins in regulation of AR. It is observed that the presence of anti-Liprin α3 antibody inhibits the process of AR. Colocalization experiments demonstrate the coexistence of leucocyte antigen related (LAR) protein, Rab-interacting molecule (RIM) and Liprin α3 on sperm acrosome thereby completing the identification of all the members of RIM/MUNC/Rab3A/liprinα complex required for membrane fusion. This study demonstrates the effect of LAR ligands such as Syndecans, Nidogens and LAR wedge domain peptide on AR. We could see an increase in AR in presence of these ligands. On the basis of these data, we speculate that in presence of ligands or wedge peptide, LAR undergoes dimerization leading to inhibition of phosphatase activity and increase in AR. The presence of one of the ligands Syndecan-1 on cumulus cells led us to hypothesize that it is Syndecan which induces AR in vivo and thus another site of AR could lie in cumulus.

Directed flow of charged particles at midrapidity relative to the spectator plane in Pb-Pb collisions at √(s(NN))=2.76 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2013; 111:232302. [PMID: 24476260 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.111.232302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2013] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
The directed flow of charged particles at midrapidity is measured in Pb-Pb collisions at √(s(NN))=2.76 TeV relative to the collision symmetry plane defined by the spectator nucleons. A negative slope of the rapidity-odd directed flow component with approximately 3 times smaller magnitude than found at the highest RHIC energy is observed. This suggests a smaller longitudinal tilt of the initial system and disfavors the strong fireball rotation predicted for the LHC energies. The rapidity-even directed flow component is measured for the first time with spectators and found to be independent of pseudorapidity with a sign change at transverse momenta p(T) between 1.2 and 1.7 GeV/c. Combined with the observation of a vanishing rapidity-even p(T) shift along the spectator deflection this is strong evidence for dipolelike initial density fluctuations in the overlap zone of the nuclei. Similar trends in the rapidity-even directed flow and the estimate from two-particle correlations at midrapidity, which is larger by about a factor of 40, indicate a weak correlation between fluctuating participant and spectator symmetry planes. These observations open new possibilities for investigation of the initial conditions in heavy-ion collisions with spectator nucleons.

K(S)0 and Λ production in Pb-Pb collisions at √(s(NN))=2.76 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2013; 111:222301.

Abstract
The ALICE measurement of K(S)(0) and Λ production at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at √(s(NN))=2.76 TeV is presented. The transverse momentum (p(T)) spectra are shown for several collision centrality intervals and in the p(T) range from 0.4 GeV/c (0.6 GeV/c for Λ) to 12 GeV/c. The p(T) dependence of the Λ/K(S)(0) ratios exhibits maxima in the vicinity of 3 GeV/c, and the positions of the maxima shift towards higher p(T) with increasing collision centrality. The magnitude of these maxima increases by almost a factor of three between most peripheral and most central Pb-Pb collisions. This baryon excess at intermediate p(T) is not observed in pp interactions at √s=0.9 TeV and at √s=7 TeV. Qualitatively, the baryon enhancement in heavy-ion collisions is expected from radial flow. However, the measured p(T) spectra above 2 GeV/c progressively decouple from hydrodynamical-model calculations. For higher values of p(T), models that incorporate the influence of the medium on the fragmentation and hadronization processes describe qualitatively the p(T) dependence of the Λ/K(S)(0) ratio.

Abstract
The feeding biology, spawning season, size at first maturity, sex ratio and fecundity of the commercially important lizardfish (Saurida undosquamis) were studied in Parangipettai waters of the southeast coast of India. Fishes formed the predominant food item. Diversity of the prey items showed maximum value (H'log 2-3.61 +/- 0.11) during the postmonsoon season and minimum during the monsoon season (2.89 +/- 0.17). The richness (1-lambda') also showed a similar trend and varied from 0.81 +/- 0.13 (monsoon) to 0.91 +/- 0.01 (postmonsoon). The size at first maturity (50% incidence of mature fish) was 195 mm. But when the size at first maturity was calculated by adjusting the proportion of maturity percentages, the maturity size was found to be 140 mm. This method is advantageous from the point of view of fisheries management as this species can be exploited above 140 mm rather than above 195 mm. The gastrosomatic index was found maximum during postmonsoon and minimum during the monsoon season showing the inverse relationship between feeding and spawning. This species was found to spawn from August to January with a peak in November. The fecundity ranged from 19, 856 in a fish measuring from 20.1 cm in length (97 g) to 79,282 in a fish of 29 cm (290 g). The overall sex ratio (1:1.19) was found to deviate significantly from the expected 1:1 ratio. (chi2 = 19.1, p < 0.005). Month- wise, it conformed to the expected 1:1 ratio during most of the months except January, June, September, November and December. Higher gonado-somatic index values observed during October-December suggested spawning activity during this period. This species is found to a total spawner in the Parangipettai waters.

Abstract
We report on the first measurement of inclusive J/ψ elliptic flow v2 in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. The measurement is performed with the ALICE detector in Pb-Pb collisions at √(s(NN))=2.76 TeV in the rapidity range 2.5<y<4.0. The dependence of the J/ψ v2 on the collision centrality and on the J/ψ transverse momentum is studied in the range 0≤p(T)<10 GeV/c. For semicentral Pb-Pb collisions at √(s(NN))=2.76 TeV, an indication of nonzero v2 is observed with a largest measured value of v2=0.116±0.046(stat)±0.029(syst) for J/ψ in the transverse momentum range 2≤p(T)<4 GeV/c. The elliptic flow measurement complements the previously reported ALICE results on the inclusive J/ψ nuclear modification factor and favors the scenario of a significant fraction of J/ψ production from charm quarks in a deconfined partonic phase.

Abstract
ZnS nanoparticles stabilized by a carbohydrate-based matrix, hypromellose (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) were prepared via a wet chemical method. The nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electon microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. X-Ray diffraction patterns revealed a zinc blende structure. Thermogravimetric analysis suggested that polymer attached to the surface decomposes at 700 °C. Absorption measurements were carried out and calculation of the diameter polydispersity index (DPI) suggests the formation of monodisperse nanoparticles. The optical properties of the as-prepared samples were studied by UV/vis spectroscopy and steady-state photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The PL studies indicate the applicability of these nanoparticles as biocompatible sensors or luminescence markers in future.

D meson elliptic flow in noncentral Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[sNN]=2.76 Tev. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2013; 111:102301.

Abstract
Azimuthally anisotropic distributions of D0, D+, and D*+ mesons were studied in the central rapidity region (|y|<0.8) in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy sqrt[sNN]=2.76 TeV per nucleon-nucleon collision, with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The second Fourier coefficient v2 (commonly denoted elliptic flow) was measured in the centrality class 30%-50% as a function of the D meson transverse momentum pT, in the range 2-16 GeV/c. The measured v2 of D mesons is comparable in magnitude to that of light-flavor hadrons. It is positive in the range 2<pT<6 GeV/c with 5.7σ significance, based on the combination of statistical and systematic uncertainties.

Abstract
Anopheles minimus is one of the major vectors for transmission of malaria disease in north eastern (NE) region of India. The minimus species complex of Minimus subgroup of Myzomyia series of anophelines were studied in malaria affected states--Assam and Arunachal Pradesh (AP) of NE India. Ribosomal DNA markers--second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) and third domain (D3) of 28S gene were used to characterize An. minimus species. Sequence homogeneity was observed in D3 sequences of An.minimus specimens throughout both the states. However, a transversion in ITS2 sequence of single specimen collected from Assam-Meghalaya border areas illustrates possibility of intra population polymorphism in ITS2 sequence within the geographical region.

Abstract
During October 2007, a large outbreak of suspected dengue fever (DF) was reported in Moreh township, Manipur: the first widespread outbreak in Northeast India. A cross sectional study was carried out in Moreh. The information on outbreak was collected and then described in time, place and person characteristics to arrive at aetiological hypotheses. Two hundred and eighty two serum samples were collected. Ninety one samples were reported positive for acute infection with dengue virus. Co-circulation of all the four dengue virus serotypes (1-4) and concurrent infection of 2 & 3, 1 & 3, and 1 & 4 serotypes was found. Predominant clinical features of the patients were fever (100%), headache (39%), vomiting (9.8%) and joint pain (4.16%). Haemorrhagic manifestation was recorded in one patient who subsequently died. Entomological surveys revealed profuse breeding of Aedes mosquitoes in all the affected municipal wards with high HI (37.5-71.43%), CI (53.84-86.95%) and BI (80-208.33%). Presence of IgM antibody, co-circulation of all the serotypes and concurrent infection with more than one serotype in the same individual confirmed the outbreak due to dengue virus infection. Preventive and control measures undertaken following the epidemiological investigation helped in controlling the outbreak.

Abstract
AIM This study set out to compare the postoperative health related quality of life (HQoL) of patients undergoing elective open colorectal surgery using a well-established enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway with those undergoing laparoscopic surgery without an established an ERAS pathway. METHOD Using a power calculation, it was estimated that 40 patients would be required in each group. HQoL of the two groups was prospectively assessed using SF-12 (Short Form 12) and EORTC QLQ 30 (European Organisation of Research and Treatment of Cancer, Quality of Life Questionnaire) preoperatively, and at 2 and 6 weeks after discharge. RESULTS Data were collected from 83 patients, 41 in the laparoscopic group and 42 in the open-ERAS group. There was a significant difference between the median length of stay of the open-ERAS (5 days) and laparoscopic (7 days, P = 0.028) groups. There were no significant differences between the HQoL score of the two groups at any stage. In both groups, the majority of HQoL scores had improved considerably by 6 weeks. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic and open-ERAS surgery have a similar impact on postoperative HQoL. HQoL tends to improve by the 6-week stage.

Abstract
Measurements of cross sections of inelastic and diffractive processes in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies were carried out with the ALICE detector. The fractions of diffractive processes in inelastic collisions were determined from a study of gaps in charged particle pseudorapidity distributions: for single diffraction (diffractive mass MX <200 GeV/c2) [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], respectively at centre-of-mass energies [Formula: see text]; for double diffraction (for a pseudorapidity gap Δη>3) σDD/σINEL=0.11±0.03,0.12±0.05, and [Formula: see text], respectively at [Formula: see text]. To measure the inelastic cross section, beam properties were determined with van der Meer scans, and, using a simulation of diffraction adjusted to data, the following values were obtained: [Formula: see text] mb at [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text]. The single- and double-diffractive cross sections were calculated combining relative rates of diffraction with inelastic cross sections. The results are compared to previous measurements at proton-antiproton and proton-proton colliders at lower energies, to measurements by other experiments at the LHC, and to theoretical models.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common liver cancer in the world. The aetiology of the disease is diverse incorporating a variety of conditions leading to biliary stasis, biliary and liver inflammation, but a large number of cases still occur in the absence of established risk factors. Its incidence and mortality is increasing, which has intensified the search for alternative aetiological agents and pathogenetic mechanisms. Chronic infection with hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses are the primary risk factor for hepatocellular cancer. This review focuses on the epidemiological evidence of a role for these viruses in cholangiocarcinoma and the pathogenetic mechanisms that might be involved.

Abstract
We have measured the stopping powers and straggling of fast, highly ionized atoms passing through thin bilayer targets made up of metals and insulators. We were surprised to find that the energy losses as well as the straggling depend on the ordering of the target and have small but significantly different values on bilayer reversal. We ascribe this newly found difference in energy loss to the surface energy loss field effect due to the differing surface wake fields as the beam exits the target in the two cases. This finding is validated with experiments using several different projectiles, velocities, and bilayer targets. Both partners of the diatomic molecular ions also display similar results. A comparison of the energy loss results with those of previous theoretical predictions for the surface wake potential for fast ions in solids supports the existence of a self-wake.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the net-charge fluctuations in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[sNN]=2.76 TeV, measured with the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The dynamical fluctuations per unit entropy are observed to decrease when going from peripheral to central collisions. An additional reduction in the amount of fluctuations is seen in comparison to the results from lower energies. We examine the dependence of fluctuations on the pseudorapidity interval, which may account for the dilution of fluctuations during the evolution of the system. We find that the fluctuations at the LHC are smaller compared to the measurements at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and as such, closer to what has been theoretically predicted for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma.

Abstract
Introduction: PCNL is well-accepted method of management of renal stone. In PCNL post operatively usually Nephrostomy tube and JJ stent are used. But Nephrostomy tube and JJ stent has some morbidity. Tubeless and JJ stentless PCNL in selected cases reduces the morbidity. This study will evaluate the results of PCNL with and without Nephrostomy tube and JJ stent in the management of renal stone in selected cases. Methods: From July 2008 to June 2010 total 70 cases of renal stone were managed by PCNL dividing into two groups Group A -PCNL with nephrostomy tube and JJ stent, Group B- Nephrostomy tubeless and JJ stent less PCNL with only ureteric catheter for 24 48 hour post operatively. All cases were operated in Urology department of Bangladesh Medical College Hospital, and two other private hospitals located in Dhaka. In all cases initially placed a ureteric catheter and at the end of the procedure compression at renal angle about 10 min in Group B, in Group A Procedure ended with Nephrostomy tube and JJ stent. Ureteric catheter was removed 24 hour-48 hour after operation. JJ stent was removed 3 weeks after operation. Exclusion criteria for the tubeless and JJ stentless approach were more than one percutaneous access, significant perforation of the collecting system, large residual stone burden, significant postoperative bleeding, ureteral obstruction and renal anomaly. The incidence of complication, length of hospitalization, analgesics requirement and interval to return to normal activities were evaluated. Results: All 70 percutaneous procedures were performed without significant complication, none of the patients demonstrated urinoma in postoperative renal Ultrasound scan. In Group- B length of hospital stay was < 3 days, the average analgesia requirement was 98 mg of Inj.Pethedin, patient return to normal activity earlier then Group -A. Conclusion: Nephrostomy tubeless and JJ stent less Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy with ureteric catheter for 24- 48 hours post operatively is a safe and effective procedure. Hospital stay and analgesia requirements are less and returns to normal activities are faster. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jss.v16i1.14443 Journal of Surgical Sciences (2012) Vol. 16 (1) : 18-25

Abstract
A study on mosquitoes in parts of Meghalaya revealed the presence of 64 species of mosquitoes under 10 genera. In monsoon (June to October) and post-monsoon (November to May) survey, 42 and 48 species of mosquitoes were detected, respectivily. Higher species diversity was found at lower elevations (up to 1050 m). Anopheles peditaeniatus, An. sinensis, Aedes vexans, Ae. nigrostriatus, Ae. annandalei, Culex. fuscocephala, Cx. pseudovishnui, Cx. murrelli, Cx. brevipalpis, Coquillettidia novochracea, Lutzia halifaxii, Malaya genurostris, Ml. jacobsoni, Tripteroides aranoides, Toxorhynchites minimus, Uranotaenia campestris, Ur. edwardsi and Ur. testaceae which were never reported earlier from Meghalaya state were detected in the present study and the findings were discussed with previously published reports from the state.

Abstract
The transverse momentum (p(T)) distribution of primary charged particles is measured in minimum bias (non-single-diffractive) p+Pb collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The p(T) spectra measured near central rapidity in the range 0.5<p(T) <20 GeV/c exhibit a weak pseudorapidity dependence. The nuclear modification factor R(pPb) is consistent with unity for p(T) above 2 GeV/c. This measurement indicates that the strong suppression of hadron production at high p(T) observed in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC is not due to an initial-state effect. The measurement is compared to theoretical calculations.

Pseudorapidity density of charged particles in p+Pb collisions at √(s(NN))=5.02 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2013; 110:032301.

Abstract
The charged-particle pseudorapidity density measured over four units of pseudorapidity in nonsingle-diffractive p+Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair √(s(NN))=5.02 TeV is presented. The average value at midrapidity is measured to be 16.81±0.71 (syst), which corresponds to 2.14±0.17 (syst) per participating nucleon, calculated with the Glauber model. This is 16% lower than in nonsingle-diffractive pp collisions interpolated to the same collision energy and 84% higher than in d+Au collisions at s√(s(NN))=0.2 TeV. The measured pseudorapidity density in p+Pb collisions is compared to model predictions and provides new constraints on the description of particle production in high-energy nuclear collisions.

Abstract
Measurements of charge-dependent azimuthal correlations with the ALICE detector at the LHC are reported for Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s(NN)] = 2.76 TeV. Two- and three-particle charge-dependent azimuthal correlations in the pseudorapidity range |η| < 0.8 are presented as a function of the collision centrality, particle separation in pseudorapidity, and transverse momentum. A clear signal compatible with a charge-dependent separation relative to the reaction plane is observed, which shows little or no collision energy dependence when compared to measurements at RHIC energies. This provides a new insight for understanding the nature of the charge-dependent azimuthal correlations observed at RHIC and LHC energies.

Abstract
In this Letter we report the first results on π(±), K(±), p, and p production at midrapidity (|y|<0.5) in central Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s(NN)] = 2.76 TeV, measured by the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The p(T) distributions and yields are compared to previous results at sqrt[s(NN)] = 200 GeV and expectations from hydrodynamic and thermal models. The spectral shapes indicate a strong increase of the radial flow velocity with sqrt[s(NN)], which in hydrodynamic models is expected as a consequence of the increasing particle density. While the K/π ratio is in line with predictions from the thermal model, the p/π ratio is found to be lower by a factor of about 1.5. This deviation from thermal model expectations is still to be understood.

Abstract
The first measurement of neutron emission in electromagnetic dissociation of ^{208}Pb nuclei at the LHC is presented. The measurement is performed using the neutron zero degree calorimeters of the ALICE experiment, which detect neutral particles close to beam rapidity. The measured cross sections of single and mutual electromagnetic dissociation of Pb nuclei at sqrt[s(NN)]=2.76 TeV with neutron emission are σ(singleEMD)=187.4 ± 0.2(stat)(-11.2)(+13.2) (syst) b and σ(mutualEMD) = 5.7 ± 0.1(stat) ± 0.4(syst) b, respectively. The experimental results are compared to the predictions from a relativistic electromagnetic dissociation model.

Abstract
Background: Earlier studies have shown that 1–2mg of 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4–OHT) gel applied to the breast skin reduced cell proliferation in estrogen receptor (ER) positive invasive cancers to a similar degree as oral tamoxifen (TAM), with significantly lower plasma levels. We now report results of a Phase IIB pre-surgical window trial of women with DCIS, designed to obtain pilot data in early lesions. Our ultimate goal is to develop transdermal 4-OHT as an alternative to oral TAM for women at high risk for breast cancer and those with DCIS. The study was closed early because the manufacturer discontinued the drug supply, but remains blinded until all biomarker analysis is complete. Here we report the plasma and breast adipose tissue concentration of TAM metabolites from the topical 4-OHT gel group (4 mg) in comparison with the oral TAM group (20mg).
Methods: Women with DCIS were enrolled, and randomized to 4-OHT gel (4mg/day, 2mg per breast, E: Z isomers = 1:1,) or to oral (Z) TAM (20mg/day) for 4–10 weeks before surgery. Blood was collected on the day of surgery, and breast adipose tissue was collected at surgery. There were a total of 22 patients with matched blood and breast adipose tissue. The concentration of TAM metabolites in plasma and breast tissue was determined with liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. We assumed that the subjects with detectable N-desmethyl TAM (NDT) in plasma belong to the oral TAM group because NDT is not a product of 4-OHT metabolism. Under this assumption, 13 subjects were categorized into oral TAM group, and 9 subjects into the topical 4-OHT group. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for statistical analysis.
Results: The results are shown in the table. The concentration is presented as mean ± SD; the lowest quantitation limit (LQL) was 1 ng/mL for plasma, and 3 ng/g for tissue. TAM and its metabolites were found in the plasma of the presumed oral TAM group, with high levels of TAM and NDT. In the presumed 4-OHT gel group, only (Z) 4-OHT was found in the plasma although both (E) and (Z) forms were applied. The mean plasma level of 4-OHT in the gel group was 70% lower than the mean of 4-OHT in the oral TAM group (p = 0.004). In breast tissue, similar amounts of (E) and (Z) forms of 4-OHT were found in the 4-OHT gel group, with the (Z) 4-OHT level being equivalent to that in the oral TAM group (p = 0.48). Endoxifen was only found in the oral TAM group. We saw no evidence of further metabolic transformation of 4-OHT in the breast following topical administration.
Conclusions: With 4 mg of 4-OHT gel daily applied to the breasts of DCIS patients, the mean plasma level of 4-OHT was significantly lower and the mean breast tissue level of 4-OHT was similar to that in women taking oral TAM 20 mg daily, thus confirming the results from previous studies. We are still evaluating efficacy of topical 4-OHT in terms of reduction of cell proliferation (Ki67).

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Formation of single strand breaks in DNA is a constant process, estimated to occur 10,000 times per day in each cell, either from endogenous biosynthetic errors or from interference by endogenous or exogenous agents. Base excision repair in some cases may be impaired or may be exceeded by the rate of DNA damage, leading to cancer. Nick translation of with labeled nucleotides can be used as a quantitative indicator of SSBs.
Methods: Healthy women were recruited through the Love-Avon Army of Women and breast clinics of Northwestern and John Hopkins Universities. Digital or digitized mammograms were evaluated for percent density using Cumulus software. The medians (ranges) were age 51 (36 to 60); BMI 28.2 (18.7 to 51.3); life-time Gail estimate 12.5 (5.6 to 28.3); % breast density 16.5 (2.4 to 52.5); Masood score 13 (0 to 18). Breast tissue was obtained by random fine needle aspiration (rFNA). Specimens were rinsed into ice-cold phosphate buffered saline and were stored at −80°C. Thawed samples were centrifuged at 2200 g for 60 min. A kit from Norgen Inc., was used to separate DNA, RNA, and protein from the pellet. The lipids were extracted with ethyl acetate-hexane (3:2) from the supernatant fluid, and triglycerides were precipitated from cold 90% methanol, leaving a purified lipid fraction containing the steroids. Steroids were then fractionated by HPLC on a C18 column, and estradiol was analyzed by a radioimmunoassay. Blood was obtained at the same time as the rFNA samples and was frozen prior to analysis. An aliquot containing 200 ng of DNA (260/280 ratio 1.3 to 2.3) was taken for the nick translation assay. Incorporation of free nucleotides at SSBs with dCTP labeled with3H was catalyzed by Polymerase I from E. coli. A quality control preparation prepared from calf thymus DNA and a reagent blank without DNA was included with each set of 6 samples. Incorporation of3H-dCTP was linear with dose of DNA and reached a maximal at 30 min. Separation of free from incorporated3H-dCTP was accomplished by gel chromatography on an 80 × 15 mm column. The concordance of interassay values was 0.96.
Results: Incorporation of nucleotides into DNA ranged from 0.03 to 8.59 pmol/μg, median 0.63 pmol/μg DNA. The association with other factors associated with breast cancer is shown in the Table. A significant correlation, was found with % breast density, life-time risk by the Gail model, but not serum estradiol concentrations.
Conclusions: Assessment of SSBs by the nick translation procedure may be a useful indicator of breast cancer risk. Future studies will relate this method with actual risk as assessed by analysis of pre-diagnosis specimens with subsequent occurrence of breast cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The expression of many genes is known to be regulated by ambient hormone levels. In a preliminary study of random fine-needle aspirate (rFNA) samples from benign breast tissue, we found several genes that were highly correlated with the serum levels of progesterone (P4) and estradiol (E2). We now present data to further validate these genes as markers of menstrual cycle phase (MCP) and menopausal status (MPS) in benign breast tissue which may allow retrospective classification of archived breast samples with respect to MCP and MPS at the time of sampling.
Methods: 240 rFNA samples from healthy women with recorded hormonal data at the time of sampling were analyzed. We divided these subjects by menstrual cycle phase (MCP) and menopausal status (MPS): 41 early follicular: (low circulating E2 and P4); 48 mid-cycle (high E2 and low P4); 31 luteal (moderate E2 and high P4). 120 post-menopausal (low E2 and low P4). 100 ng of RNA from rFNA samples of the breast was reverse transcribed. Amplicons of interest were linearly amplified to 14 cycles for 35 genes related to hormone responsiveness. qPCR reactions were carried out using the TaqMan OpenArray (Applied Biosystems). For each gene of interest, expression levels were normalized to the average expression of GAPDH. Gene expression difference between groups were conducted using the Mann-Whitney Test. P-values from gene expression difference were adjusted via the Benjamini-Hochberg (1995) approach.
Results: The mean value of TNFSF11 expression level was 13.19 fold higher in luteal phase subjects than in post-menopausal subjects (p = 0.0003) where there was also the biggest difference of serum P4 level between groups. The expression of DIO2 and MYBPC1 was also significantly higher in luteal phase group than in the post-menopausal group (p = 0.005, p = 0.02, respectively). These 3 genes also demonstrated a higher expression pattern in luteal phase than mid-cycle and follicular phase but analysis is still ongoing. All comparisons between these groups will be presented at the meeting.
Conclusion: The expression levels of TNFSF11, DIO2 and MYBPC1 vary with MCP and MPS. These hormone-responsive genes are candidate MCP classifiers which could be applied to archived breast samples to assess whether biomarkers of breast cancer risk are stable across the menstrual cycle, since MCP and MPS variation is likely an important source of biological noise in studies of archived breast biopsy material.

Khan SA, Schaart JG, Beekwilder J, Allan AC, Tikunov YM, Jacobsen E, Schouten HJ. The mQTL hotspot on linkage group 16 for phenolic compounds in apple fruits is probably the result of a leucoanthocyanidin reductase gene at that locus. BMC Res Notes 2012; 5:618. [PMID: 23121691 PMCID: PMC3599437 DOI: 10.1186/1756-0500-5-618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2012] [Accepted: 10/29/2012] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Our previous study on ripe apples from a progeny of a cross between the apple cultivars ‘Prima’ and ‘Fiesta’ showed a hotspot of mQTLs for phenolic compounds at the top of LG16, both in peel and in flesh tissues. In order to find the underlying gene(s) of this mQTL hotspot, we investigated the expression profiles of structural and putative transcription factor genes of the phenylpropanoid and flavonoid pathways during different stages of fruit development in progeny genotypes. Results Only the structural gene leucoanthocyanidin reductase (MdLAR1) showed a significant correlation between transcript abundance and content of metabolites that mapped on the mQTL hotspot. This gene is located on LG16 in the mQTL hotspot. Progeny that had inherited one or two copies of the dominant MdLAR1 alleles (Mm, MM) showed a 4.4- and 11.8-fold higher expression level of MdLAR1 respectively, compared to the progeny that had inherited the recessive alleles (mm). This higher expression was associated with a four-fold increase of procyanidin dimer II as one representative metabolite that mapped in the mQTL hotspot. Although expression level of several structural genes were correlated with expression of other structural genes and with some MYB and bHLH transcription factor genes, only expression of MdLAR1 was correlated with metabolites that mapped at the mQTL hotspot. MdLAR1 is the only candidate gene that can explain the mQTL for procyanidins and flavan-3-ols. However, mQTLs for other phenylpropanoids such as phenolic esters, dihydrochalcones and flavonols, that appear to map at the same locus, have so far not been considered to be dependent on LAR, as their biosynthesis does not involve LAR activity. An explanation for this phenomenon is discussed. Conclusions Transcript abundances and genomic positions indicate that the mQTL hotspot for phenolic compounds at the top of LG16 is controlled by the MdLAR1 gene. The dominant allele of the MdLAR1 gene, causing increased content of metabolites that are potentially health beneficial, could be used in marker assisted selection of current apple breeding programs and for cisgenesis.

Characterization of extremely thermostable enzymatic breakers (alpha-1,6-galactosidase and beta-1,4-mannanase) from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga neapolitana 5068 for hydrolysis of guar gum.

Abstract
An alpha-galactosidase and a beta-mannanase produced by the hyperthermophilic bacterium, Thermotoga neapolitana 5068 (TN5068), separately and together, were evaluated for their ability to hydrolyze guar gum in relation to viscosity reduction of guar-based hydraulic fracturing fluids used in oil and gas well stimulation. In such applications, premature guar gum hydrolysis at lower temperatures before the fracturing process is completed is undesirable, whereas thermostability and thermoactivity are advantageous. Hyperthermophilic enzymes presumably possess both characteristics. The purified alpha-galactosidase was found to have a temperature optimum of 100-105 degrees C with a half-life of 130 minutes at 90 degrees C and 3 min at 100 degrees C, while the purified beta-mannanase was found to have a temperature optimum of 91 degrees C and a half-life of 13h at this temperature and 35 min at 100 degrees C.These represent the most thermostable versions of these enzymes yet reported. At 25 degrees C, TN5068 culture supernatants, containing the two enzyme activities, reduced viscosity of a 0.7% (wt) guar gum solution by a factor of 1.4 after a 1.5-h incubation period and by a factor of 2.4 after 5 h. This is in contrast to a viscosity reduction of 100-fold after 1.5 h and 375-fold after 5 h for a commercial preparation of these enzymes from Aspergillus niger. In contrast, at 85 degrees C, the TN5068 enzymes reduced viscosity by 30-fold after 1.5 h and 100-fold after 5 h compared to a 2.5-fold reduction after 5 h for the control. The A. niger enzymes were less effective at 85 degrees C (1.6-fold reduction after 1.5 h and a 4.2-fold reduction after 5 h), presumably due to their thermal lability at this temperature. Furthermore, it was determined that the purified beta-mannanase alone can substantially reduce viscosity of guar solutions, while the alpha-galactosidase alone had limited viscosity reduction activity. However, the alpha-galactosidase appeared to minimize residual particulate matter when used in conjunction with the beta-mannanase. This could be the result of extensive hydrolysis of the alpha-1,6 linkages between mannose and galactose units in guar, allowing more extensive hydrolysis of the mannan chain by the beta-mannanase. The use of thermostable enzymatic breakers from hyperthermophiles in hydraulic fracturing could be used to improve well stimulation and oil and gas recovery.

Abstract
The ALICE Collaboration has measured the inclusive production of muons from heavy-flavor decays at forward rapidity, 2.5<y<4, in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=2.76 TeV. The p(t)-differential inclusive cross section of muons from heavy-flavor decays in pp collisions is compared to perturbative QCD calculations. The nuclear modification factor is studied as a function of p(t) and collision centrality. A weak suppression is measured in peripheral collisions. In the most central collisions, a suppression of a factor of about 3-4 is observed in 6<p(t)<10 GeV/c. The suppression shows no significant p(t) dependence.

Abstract
The ALICE experiment has measured the inclusive J/ψ production in Pb-Pb collisions at √s(NN) = 2.76 TeV down to zero transverse momentum in the rapidity range 2.5 < y < 4. A suppression of the inclusive J/ψ yield in Pb-Pb is observed with respect to the one measured in pp collisions scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions. The nuclear modification factor, integrated over the 0%-80% most central collisions, is 0.545 ± 0.032(stat) ± 0.083(syst) and does not exhibit a significant dependence on the collision centrality. These features appear significantly different from measurements at lower collision energies. Models including J/ψ production from charm quarks in a deconfined partonic phase can describe our data.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of local implantation of BMP-7 for the treatment of resistant non-unions in the upper and lower limb. Fifty-two patients (30 males, mean age 52.8 years; range 20-81) were treated with local BMP-7 implantation in a bovine bone-derived collagen paste with or without revision of fixation. Thirty-six patients had closed injuries, ten had open injuries and six had infected non-unions. Patients had undergone a mean of 2 (1-5) operations prior to implantation of BMP-7. Clinical and radiological union was achieved in 94% at a mean time of 5.6 months (3-19). Two patients with subtrochanteric femoral fractures failed to achieve union secondary to inadequate fracture stabilisation, persistent unfavourable biological environment and systemic co-morbidities. One patient developed synostosis attributed to the BMP-7 application. This study demonstrates BMP-7 implanted in a bovine-derived collagen paste is an effective adjunctive treatment for resistant non-unions in the upper and lower limb.

Abstract
Apple (Malus×domestica Borkh) is among the main sources of phenolic compounds in the human diet. The genetic basis of the quantitative variations of these potentially beneficial phenolic compounds was investigated. A segregating F₁ population was used to map metabolite quantitative trait loci (mQTLs). Untargeted metabolic profiling of peel and flesh tissues of ripe fruits was performed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), resulting in the detection of 418 metabolites in peel and 254 in flesh. In mQTL mapping using MetaNetwork, 669 significant mQTLs were detected: 488 in the peel and 181 in the flesh. Four linkage groups (LGs), LG1, LG8, LG13, and LG16, were found to contain mQTL hotspots, mainly regulating metabolites that belong to the phenylpropanoid pathway. The genetics of annotated metabolites was studied in more detail using MapQTL®. A number of quercetin conjugates had mQTLs on LG1 or LG13. The most important mQTL hotspot with the largest number of metabolites was detected on LG16: mQTLs for 33 peel-related and 17 flesh-related phenolic compounds. Structural genes involved in the phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway were located, using the apple genome sequence. The structural gene leucoanthocyanidin reductase (LAR1) was in the mQTL hotspot on LG16, as were seven transcription factor genes. The authors believe that this is the first time that a QTL analysis was performed on such a high number of metabolites in an outbreeding plant species.

Abstract
Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) a nitric oxide (NO) donor has proven toxic effects. Dietary ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) has been shown to reduce the severity of numerous ailments. Present study examined whether intake of fish oil (FO)/flaxseed oil (FXO, Omega Nutrition, St Vancouver, Canada) would have protective effect against SNP-induced toxicity. Male Wistar rats (150 ± 10 g) were used in this study. Initially animals were divided into two groups: one fed on normal diet and the other on 15% FO/FXO for 15 days. On the 16th day, SNP (1.5 mg/kg body weight) was administered intraperitoneally for 7 days daily. After 7 days animals were killed, kidneys were harvested for further analysis. SNP induced nephrotoxicity by increasing serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, SNP significantly decreased malate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and malic enzyme but increased lactate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Brush border membrane enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase and leucine amino peptidase were also decreased. The activity of catalase and glutathione peroxidase decreased concomitantly with increased lipid peroxidation, indicating that the significant kidney damage has been inflicted by SNP. Feeding of FO and FXO with SNP ameliorated the changes in various parameters caused by SNP. The results of the present study suggest that ω-3 PUFA-enriched FO and FXO from seafoods and plant sources, respectively, are similarly effective in reducing SNP-induced nephrotoxicity and oxidative damage. Thus, vegetarians who cannot consume FO can have similar health benefits from plant-derived ω-3 PUFA.

Abstract
Gentamicin and vitamin C have been proposed as nephrotoxic and antioxidant, respectively. This study involved biochemical and histopathologic investigation showing protection and treatment of gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rabbits using vitamin C for 26 days hypothesizing that whether vitamin C would inhibit or decrease the raised serum urea and creatinine levels. This study was conducted on 25 healthy male albino rabbits (average weight 1.5±0.2 kg), classified into 5 groups: group A, B, C, D and E for nephrocurative (study-I) and nephroprotective (study-II) studies. Control group of rabbits (group A) received only the vehicle of gentamicin ampoule. In study-I, gentamicin sulphate (GS 80 mg/kg, i.m.) was administered to group B and C rabbits for ten days, then group C rabbits received vitamin C 250 mg/Kg for remaining 16 days. Group D and E received GS 80 mg/kg and GS 80 mg/kg i.m.-vitamin C 250 mg/kg orally, respectively during whole period (26 days) of study-II. After 26 days, various biochemical parameters, i.e. serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and serum antioxidant activity, and histopathologic investigations were made. Nephrotoxicity was observed in rabbit groups B, C and D as evident from significant (p<0.05) high levels of serum creatinine and BUN and low serum antioxidant levels as compared to the levels of control group. Decrease in the levels of serum creatinine and BUN along with the increase in serum antioxidant activity was observed after vitamin C treatment in group C. While, renal-protective role of vitamin C was seen in group E as compared to the control. In conclusion, Gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity can be attenuated or treated using vitamin C.
