To determine the influence of fire and thermokarst in a boreal landscape, we investigated peat cores within and adjacent to a permafrost collapse feature on the Tanana River Floodplain of Interior Alaska. Radioisotope dating, diatom assemblages, plant macrofossils, charcoal fragments, and carbon and nitrogen content of the peat profile indicate ~600 years of vegetation succession with a transition from a terrestrial forest to a sedge-dominated wetland over 100 years ago, and to a Sphagnum-dominated peatland in approximately 1970. The shift from sedge to Sphagnum, and a decrease in the detrended tree-ring width index of black spruce trees adjacent to the collapse coincided with an increase in the growing season temperature record from Fairbanks. This concurrent wetland succession and reduced growth of black spruce trees indicates a step-wise ecosystem-level response to a change in regional climate. In 2001, fire was observed coincident with permafrost collapse and resulted in lateral expansion of the peatland. These observations and the peat profile suggest that future warming and/or increased fire disturbance could promote permafrost degradation, peatland expansion, and increase carbon storage across this landscape; however, the development of drought conditions could reduce the success of both black spruce and Sphagnum, and potentially decrease the long-term ecosystem carbon storage.

Studies were performed to investigate the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzyme( s) responsible for the human liver microsomal N2-glucuronidation of the anticonvulsant drug lamotrigine ( LTG) and the mechanistic basis for the LTG-valproic acid ( VPA) interaction in vivo. LTG N2-glucuronidation by microsomes from five livers exhibited atypical kinetics, best described by a model comprising the expressions for the Hill ( 1869 +/- 1286 mu M, n = 0.65 +/- 0.16) and Michaelis-Menten ( Km 2234 +/- 774 mu M) equations. The UGT1A4 inhibitor hecogenin abolished the Michaelis-Menten component, without affecting the Hill component. LTG N2-glucuronidation by recombinant UGT1A4 exhibited Michaelis-Menten kinetics, with a K-m of 1558 mu M. Although recombinant UGT2B7 exhibited only low activity toward LTG, inhibition by zidovudine and fluconazole and activation by bovine serum albumin ( BSA) ( 2%) strongly suggested that this enzyme was responsible for the Hill component of microsomal LTG N2-glucuronidation. VPA ( 10 mM) abolished the Hill component of microsomal LTG N2-glucuronidation, without affecting the Michaelis-Menten component or UGT1A4-catalyzed LTG metabolism. K-i values for inhibition of the Hill component of LTG N2-glucuronidation by VPA were 2465 +/- 370 mu M and 387 +/- 12 mu M in the absence and presence, respectively, of BSA ( 2%). Consistent with published data for the effect of fluconazole on zidovudine glucuronidation by human liver microsomal UGT2B7, the Ki value generated in the presence of BSA predicted the magnitude of the LTG-VPA interaction reported in vivo. These data indicate that UGT2B7 and UGT1A4 are responsible for the Hill and Michaelis-Menten components, respectively, of microsomal LTG N2-glucuronidation, and the LTG-VPA interaction in vivo arises from inhibition of UGT2B7.

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar, por meio de questionário, a percepção dos ortodontistas quanto a época ideal para o tratamento ortodôntico da má oclusão de Classe II de Angle, avaliar a eficiência deste tipo de tratamento em uma ou duas fases e identificar os diversos métodos de tratamento utilizados. A amostra constituiu de 163 ortodontistas brasileiros que responderam ao questionário via e-mail. O questionário continha perguntas do tipo aberta, semi aberta e fechada, e, para sua validação, foi realizado um teste piloto entre 15 ortodontistas, participantes ou ex-alunos do Programa de Pós-graduação em Odontologia da Universidade Metodista de São Paulo, que não foram inclusos neste trabalho. Os dados foram tabulados com a utilização de frequência absoluta (n) e frequência relativa (%). Para verificar a correlação entre as variáveis ordinais foi utilizado o Coeficiente de Correlação de Spearman. Para verificar a associação entre variáveis qualitativas nominais foi utilizado o teste do qui-quadrado. Em todos os testes foi adotado nível de significância de 5% (p<0,05). Todos os procedimentos estatísticos foram executados no programa Statistica v.5.1 (StatSoft Inc., Tulsa, USA). Observou-se que os ortodontistas brasileiros preferem tratar os pacientes portadores da má oclusão de Classe II durante a fase da dentadura mista tardia, onde a procura por tratamentos nos consultórios e/ou clínicas tem maior ocorrência entre 10 a 13 anos e no sexo feminino. Dentre as modalidades de tratamento, verificou-se que 25 a 50% dos profissionais tratam seus pacientes em duas fases, seja na utilização do Aparelho Extra Bucal (49,1%), Bionator (33,1%) ou propulsores mandibulares, como APM (17,8%), e, Elásticos Classe II (8,6%).

The dynamics of supervised learning in layered neural networks were studied in the regime where the size of the training set is proportional to the number of inputs. The evolution of macroscopic observables, including the two relevant performance measures can be predicted by using the dynamical replica theory. Three approximation schemes aimed at eliminating the need to solve a functional saddle-point equation at each time step have been derived.

Background: Bacterial endotoxin is a potently inflammatory antigen that is abundant in the human gut. Endotoxin circulates at low concentrations in the blood of all healthy individuals, although elevated concentrations are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis. Objective: We sought to determine whether a high-fat meal or smoking increases plasma endotoxin concentrations and whether such concentrations are of physiologic relevance. Design: Plasma endotoxin and endotoxin neutralization capacity were measured for 4 h in 12 healthy men after no meal, 3 cigarettes, a high-fat meal, or a high-fat meal with 3 cigarettes by using the limulus assay. Results: Baseline endotoxin concentrations were 8.2 pg/mL (interquartile range: 3.4–13.5 pg/mL) but increased significantly (P < 0.05) by ≈50% after a high-fat meal or after a high-fat meal with cigarettes but not after no meal or cigarettes alone. These results were validated by the observations that a high-fat meal with or without cigarettes, but not no meal or smoking, also significantly (P < 0.05) reduced plasma endotoxin neutralization capacity, which is an indirect measure of endotoxin exposure. Human monocytes, but not aortic endothelial cells, were responsive to transient (30 s) or low-dose (10 pg/mL) exposure to endotoxin. However, plasma from whole blood treated with as little as 10 pg endotoxin/mL increased the endothelial cell expression of E-selectin, at least partly via tumor necrosis factor-α–induced cellular activation. Conclusions: Low-grade endotoxemia may contribute to the postprandial inflammatory state and could represent a novel potential contributor to endothelial activation and the development of atherosclerosis.
