The present study investigates the effect of a silver (Ag)-containing nanocomposite coating on Staphylococcus epidermidis adhesion and icaA gene expression. Bacterial interactions with organic coatings with and without Ag nanoclusters were assessed through a combination of both conventional phenotypic analysis, using microscopy, and genotypic analysis, using the relative reverse transcription Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). The results suggest that the incorporation of Ag in organic coatings can significantly decrease bacterial adhesion and viability with time, in comparison to the organic coating alone. The initial Ag release though at concentrations lower than the bactericidal, significantly increased icaA gene expression for the bacteria interacting with the Ag containing coating two hours post adhesion, especially under the higher shear rate. Stress-inducing conditions such as sub-bactericidal concentrations of Ag and high shear rate can therefore increase icaA expression, indicating that analysis of gene expression can not only refine our knowledge of bacterial-material interactions, but also yield novel biomarkers for potential use in assessing biomaterials antimicrobial performance.

Seismic response of continuous span bridges through fiber-based finite element analysis

引用

Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration 2006年第1期5卷 119-131页

作者： chiara Casarotti Rui Pinho University of Pavia Structural Mechanics Dept. Via Ferrata 1 27100 Pavia Italy

It is widely recognized that nonlinear time-history analysis constitutes the most accurate way to simulate the response of structures subjected to strong levels of seismic excitation. This analytical method is based on sound underlying principles and has the capability to reproduce the intrinsic inelastic dynamic behavior of structures. Nonetheless, comparisons with experimental results from large-scale testing of structures are still needed, in order to ensure adequate levels of confidence in this numerical methodology. The fiber modelling approach employed in the current endeavor inherently accounts for geometric nonlinearities and material inelasticity, without a need for calibration of plastic hinges mechanisms, typical in concentrated plasticity models. The resulting combination of analysis accuracy and modelling simplicity, allows thus to overcome the perhaps not fully justifiable sense of complexity associated to nonlinear dynamic analysis. The fiber-based modelling approach is employed in the framework of a finite element program downloaded from the Intemet for seismic response analysis of framed structures. The reliability and accuracy of the program are demonstrated by numerically reproducing pseudo-dynamic tests on a four span continuous deck concrete bridge. Modelling assumptions are discussed, together with their implications on numerical results of the nonlinear time-history analyses, which were found to be in good agreement with experimental results.

Rumen fermentation parameters and microbiota were evaluated in 3 in vitro rumen fermentation experiments after addition of chestnut tannins(CWT)or an extract from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni(SB)to substrates.A control(CTR)substrate was fermented alone or added with 1.5%of CWT or SB extracts in a batch culture system(Exp.1,fermentation in 500 mL for 24 h)and in a subsequent continuous culture system(Exp.2,fermentation in 2 L bottles for 9 d).Experiment 3 used the fermentation system of Exp.1 and tested 7 doses of each extract added to CTR(additions of 0.2%,0.4%,0.6%,0.8%,1.0%,1.2%and 1.4%for48 h).The addition of CWT lowered(P<0.01)the in vitro rumen ammonia concentration in all experiments and reduced the protozoa counts in Exp.1(P<0.05).In contrast,the SB extract did not modify the ammonia concentrations,but significantly lowered the protozoa counts in all 3 experiments(reduction of 47%and 20%in Exp.1 and 2,P<0.05;and a quadratic reduction in Exp.3,R^2=0.63,P<0.01).Neither extract affected the fermentation in terms of gas production(Exp.1 and 3)nor volatile fatty acids(VFA)yield(Exp.1 and 2),if we exclude a reduction at the highest CWT concentration in *** in VFA profile were induced by CWT and were limited to reductions in the iso-valerate(P<0.01,in Exp.2)and iso-butyrate levels(P<0.01,Exp.2).The CWT increased the abundance of Prevotella ruminicola and Selenomonas ruminantium and decreased that of Ruminobacter amylophilus(P<0.01,P<0.05 and P<0.05,respectively).The SB extract increased the relative abundance of Treponema saccarophylum(P<0.05).Both of the studied substances had an impact on rumen metabolism,with SB reducing protozoa counts and CWT lowering the rumen ammonia *** effects of both extracts on the rumen were appreciable at low dietary doses,and the negative impacts on fermentation were limited to the reduction in protein degradation with the addition of CWT.

Next generations sequencing (NGS) is definitely one of the most revolutionary technology of the last years in genetic and medical field (Kricka and Di Resta, 2013). It brought important changes in genetic testing of inherited human disorders, in particular in neurological Mendelian forms, such as inherited neuropathies, ataxias or monogenic form of epilepsy, where “diagnostic odyssey” is quite common.
