    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the use of a Na/H exchanger (NHE-1) inhibitor as a cardioprotective adjunct therapy to low-volume resuscitation in two different rat models of traumatic hemorrhagic shock.
    Design: Experimental, prospective study.
    Setting: Medical center research laboratory.
    Subjects: Sprague Dawley male rats.
    Interventions: Series 1: femur fracture was induced in anesthetized rats, followed by pressure-controlled hemorrhage (40 mm Hg for 20 minutes) and resuscitation. Groups: 1) no therapy; 2) 15 mL/kg hetastarch; and 3) 3 mg/kg benzamide, N-(aminoiminomethyl)-4-[4-(2-furanylcarbonyl)-1-piperazinyl]-3-(methylsulfonyl), methanesulfonate (BIIB513) (NHE-1 inhibitor) + 15 mL/kg hetastarch infusion over 40 minutes. The experiment was terminated at 6 hours after resuscitation. Series 2: the rats received laparotomy and closure under anesthesia and subsequently remained conscious for the rest of the study. The rats were subjected to volume-controlled hemorrhage (2.5 mL/100 g) followed by resuscitation as described in series 1. The experiment was terminated at 24 hours after resuscitation.
    Measurements and main results: Series 1: all animals in the no-therapy group died within 2 hours. Compared with hetastarch infusion alone, the addition of NHE-1 inhibitor improved the hemodynamic response to fluid resuscitation, increased blood oxygen content, prevented metabolic acidosis, and improved 6-hour survival (42% in hetastarch group vs. 80% in BIIB513 + hetastarch group). NHE-1 inhibition also resulted in reduced plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and C-reactive protein, and attenuated neutrophil infiltration in the liver. Series 2: all animals in the no-therapy group died within 4 hours after hemorrhage. Compared with hetastarch infusion alone, the addition of BIIB513 improved 24-hour survival (44% in hetastarch group vs. 78% in BIIB513 + hetastarch group). NHE-1 inhibition also reduced plasma levels alanine aminotransferase at 24 hours after resuscitation.
    Conclusions: NHE-1 inhibition facilitated the hemodynamic response to fluid resuscitation, attenuated tissue inflammatory injury, and organ dysfunction, but most importantly improved survival.

    Abstract: ... A (CsA) 2-h levels (C2) lead to superior outcome compared with monitoring of 12-h trough levels (C0 ...

    Abstract Clinical trials in adults have shown that management of transplanted patients with cyclosporin A (CsA) 2-h levels (C2) lead to superior outcome compared with monitoring of 12-h trough levels (C0). In both adults and children, C2 levels enabled a better estimation of the area under the curve concentration than C0 levels. Therefore, it can be suspected that C2 monitoring might also lead to a better outcome in children. Until now C2 target levels for children have not been defined. We measured C2 levels in 101 stable pediatric kidney recipients with a minimum time of 1 yr after transplantation. C2 levels were compared with changes in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 6 months later. Median C2 levels in children after renal transplantation were 714 ng/mL (95% confidence interval 654-774). Patients with C2 levels below 750 ng/mL had a significantly higher percentage of decline in GFR than patients with C2 levels above 750 ng/mL (p < 0.05). In children with C2 levels below 500 ng/mL three acute rejections occurred in comparison with no rejection in the remaining patients (p < 0.05). We conclude that the lower C2 target level should be above 750 ng/mL in stable pediatric transplant recipients. An upper target level above 1000 ng/mL should be avoided. The question, whether C2 monitoring in pediatric kidney recipients is superior to C0 monitoring, is yet to be answered.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to investigate bond performance of various resin luting cement (RLC) systems on enamel and dentin in different etching modes and to compare the RLC-tooth interface morphology using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
    Methods and materials: The self-adhesive RLC systems used in combination with universal adhesives were as follows: Scotchbond Universal Adhesive Plus + RelyX Universal (3M Oral Care) and Clearfil Universal Bond Quick ER + SA Luting Multi (Kuraray Noritake Dental). These RLC systems were also used alone as self-adhesive RLC systems without universal adhesives (self-adhesive mode). The conventional RLC systems for comparison materials were as follows: BeautiBond Xtream + ResiCem EX (Shofu) and Tooth Primer + Panavia V5 (Kuraray Noritake Dental). Twelve specimens were prepared for each group to measure shear bond strength (SBS) in different etching modes. A stainless-steel rod was used as a substitute for indirect restorations. Bonded specimens were allocated to baseline (stored for 24 hours) and artificially aged (thermocycling [TC] for 10,000 cycles) groups. Representative treated tooth surfaces and RLC-tooth interfaces were observed using SEM.
    Results: Three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that all the factors (etching mode, storage period, and RLC system) had a significant influence on the enamel SBS values (p<0.05). Enamel SBS was significantly higher in etch-&-rinse (ER) mode than in self-etch (SE) mode, regardless of RLC system or storage period. Three-way ANOVA showed that all the factors had a significant influence on the dentin SBS values (p<0.001). Most RLC systems showed significantly higher dentin SBS in SE mode than in ER mode, regardless of storage period. However, the combination with Scotchbond Universal Adhesive Plus and RelyX Universal showed no significant difference in SBS values between etching modes at the baseline and showed a significantly higher SBS value in ER mode than in SE mode after TC.
    Conclusions: The self-adhesive RLC systems with universal adhesives tended to show higher enamel and dentin bond performance than the self-adhesive RLC systems alone. The morphology of treated tooth surfaces and resin cement-tooth interfaces were dependent on the RLC system and etching mode used. The RLC systems with primer application showed a thin, high-density layer above the intact dentin in both etching modes, suggesting chemical interaction.

    Abstract States’ increasing recognition of Indigenous rights in the realm of natural resources has led to a variety of co-management arrangements and other forms of melded authority, evolving over time into increasingly complex governance relationships. This article takes up such relationships within the analytical frame of multilevel governance, seeking lessons from the experiences of Indigenous involvement in water policy in Canada’s Northwest Territories (NWT). It examines the way that effective collaboration in resource governance can emerge within the space of tension between evolving Indigenous rights regimes and the continued sovereignty of the state. At the same time, the analysis raises questions about whether multilevel governance can contribute to meaningful decolonization of relationships between settler states and Indigenous Peoples.

    Abstract This study presents a cradle-to-grave life cycle analysis (LCA) of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the electricity generated from forest biomass in different regions of the United States (U.S.), taking into consideration regional variations in biomass availabilities and logistics. The regional biomass supply for a 20 MW bioelectricity facility is estimated using the Land Use and Resource Allocation (LURA) model. Results from LURA and data on regional forest management, harvesting, and processing are incorporated into the GHGs, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Technologies (GREET) model for LCA. The results suggest that GHG emissions of mill residues-based pathways can be 15-52% lower than those of pulpwood-based pathways, with logging residues falling in between. Nonetheless, our analysis suggests that screening bioenergy projects on specific feedstock types alone is not sufficient because GHG emissions of a pulpwood-based pathway in one state can be lower than those of a mill residue-based pathway in another state. Furthermore, the available biomass supply often consists of several woody feedstocks, and its composition is region-dependent. Forest biomass-derived electricity is associated with 86-93% lower life-cycle GHG emissions than the emissions of the average grid electricity in the U.S. Key factors driving bioelectricity GHG emissions include electricity generation efficiency, transportation distance, and energy use for biomass harvesting and processing.

    Abstract About 20% of students in U.S. communities have diagnoses of emotional and behavioral disturbances. Even when mental health services are in place, students and teachers often struggle in the classroom. In this column, the authors describe a partnership with a public school system to provide collaborative, innovative support that also offered a novel training opportunity for child and adolescent psychiatry fellows. Over three years of collaborative work, the child psychiatry team (attending child psychiatrist and two child psychiatry fellows) offered direct clinical care and consultation in a school-based clinic. In later years, the team provided ongoing professional development and consultation to teachers, and the model was implemented districtwide. The authors describe challenges of engaging and working in the school setting, which call on key strengths of an effective partnership: communication, respect, and trust. The multiyear partnership offered a mutually beneficial experience for both educators and psychiatry trainees.

    Abstract As the pace of environmental change increases, there is an urgent need for quantitative data revealing the temporal dynamics of local communities in tropical areas. Here, we quantify the stability of avian assemblages in the highly threatened, but poorly studied, Andean biodiversity hot spot. We evaluated the temporal variation in species richness and community composition of local bird assemblages in three habitat types (native forest, introduced forest, native shrub) using a unique, relatively long-term data series from Cajas National Park and Mazán Reserve in the southern Andes of Ecuador. We sampled birds with mist nets using a standardized protocol over 11 years, from 2006 to 2016. Species richness remained stable over time across habitats, but community composition changed in the native forest. In particular, we observed taxonomic reordering in the native forest, in which the evenness in the distribution of abundances of taxa decreased over time. This finding is consistent with other studies where species richness remained constant over time while community composition changed. Our study highlights the value of long-term studies in the tropical Andes as we show that species composition of birds in a montane forest is changing, consistent with global trends in biodiversity change.
