    Abstract The analysis aimed to identify the treatment gaps in current fracture liaison services (FLS) and to provide recommendations for best practice establishment of future FLS across the Asia-Pacific region. The findings emphasize the unmet need for the implementation of new programs and provide recommendations for the refinement of existing ones. The study's objectives were to evaluate fracture liaison service (FLS) programs in the Asia-Pacific region and provide recommendations for establishment of future FLS programs. A systematic literature review (SLR) of Medline, PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library (2000-2017 inclusive) was performed using the following keywords: osteoporosis, fractures, liaison, and service. Inclusion criteria included the following: patients ≥ 50 years with osteoporosis-related fractures; randomized controlled trials or observational studies with control groups (prospective or retrospective), pre-post, cross-sectional and economic evaluation studies. Success of direct or indirect interventions was assessed based on patients' understanding of risk, bone mineral density assessment, calcium intake, osteoporosis treatment, re-fracture rates, adherence, and mortality, in addition to cost-effectiveness. Overall, 5663 unique citations were identified and the SLR identified 159 publications, reporting 37 studies in Asia-Pacific. These studies revealed the unmet need for public health education, adequate funding, and staff resourcing, along with greater cooperation between departments and physicians. These actions can help to overcome therapeutic inertia with sufficient follow-up to ensure adherence to recommendations and compliance with treatment. The findings also emphasize the importance of primary care physicians continuing to prescribe treatment and ensure service remains convenient. These findings highlight the limited evidence supporting FLS across the Asia-Pacific region, emphasizing the unmet need for new programs and/or refinement of existing ones to improve outcomes. With the continued increase in burden of fractures in Asia-Pacific, establishment of new FLS and assessment of existing services are warranted to determine the impact of FLS for healthcare professionals, patients, family/caregivers, and society.

    Abstract Due to certain differences in educational training, the ability of environmental professionals to perform or review design calculations varies. It bridges the gap with 'Practical Design Calculations for Groundwater and Soil Remediation'. Jeff Kuo's hands-on experience as a consultant and teacher of soil/groundwater remediation informs this collection of the most practical and relevant working information. Written in a user-friendly, 'cookbook-style' format, readers can promptly access the necessary information. More than 200 equations, coupled with tables and figures, allow a clear understanding of purposes and procedures. 'Practical Design Calculations for Groundwater and Soil Remediation' helps everyone involved in a site restoration project follow the same set of guidelines-for effective results.

    Abstract The inhibitory effects of the phosphorylation of bovine cardiac troponin I (TnI) and troponin T (TnT) by protein kinase C (PKC) on the activity of Ca(2+)-stimulated MgATPase of reconstituted actomyosin complex, as a function of the concentration of myosin or myosin subfragment 1 (S-1), were investigated. Phosphorylation of TnI and/or TnT invariably decreased the Ca(2+)-stimulated enzyme activity of reconstituted actomyosin or actomyosin S-1, regardless of the concentration of whole myosin or S-1. The inhibition due to phosphorylated TnI was partially overcome as the concentration of myosin or S-1 increased, suggesting simple competition of phosphorylated TnI with myosin or S-1 for actin binding sites. Inhibition due to phosphorylated TnT, however, remained constant at all concentrations of myosin or S-1, suggesting that phosphorylated TnT may inhibit full Ca(2+)-activation of the thin filament. Both phosphorylated TnI and TnT inhibited the Ca(2+)-stimulated binding of S-1.ADP to regulated actin, consistent with the notion that the effects of phosphorylation of TnI and TnT affected interactions of the thin filament with the thick filament. Effects of PKC phosphorylation of the contractile components in adult rat cardiac myofibrils were also investigated. PKC phosphorylation of TnI and TnT, as well as other proteins in the contractile complex, resulted in the inhibition of Ca(2+)-stimulated MgATPase activity with little change in the Ca(2+)-sensitivity. Thus, the negative inotropic effects attributable to activation of PKC by phorbol esters, as reported by others, could be explained in part through PKC mediated phosphorylation of components of the contractile apparatus.

    Abstract Phosphorylation of cardiac myofibrillar proteins by protein kinase C (PKC) in isolated adult rat cardiomyocytes has been compared with that mediated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). PKA activation by beta-adrenoreceptor (isoproterenol) stimulation results in stoichiometric phosphorylation of troponin I (TnI) and C-protein. PKC activation by either 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) or by alpha-adrenoreceptor (phenylephrine plus propranolol) stimulation results in phosphorylation of the same two proteins to similar extents. Two-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping shows that the same sites in TnI are modified by PKC in vitro and in TPA- or alpha-agonist-stimulated cells. These sites are distinct from those phosphorylated in isoproterenol-stimulated cells or by PKA in vitro. Phosphopeptide mapping analysis of C-protein shows that PKC and PKA phosphorylate identical residues in this protein in vitro and in situ. TPA-stimulated phosphorylation in myocytes is associated with a reduction in maximal activity of myofibrillar Ca(2+)-dependent actomyosin MgATPase. Isoproterenol-stimulated phosphorylation has no effect on maximal activity but reduces the Ca2+ sensitivity of the MgATPase. These data demonstrate that TnI and C-protein are phosphorylated in myocardial cells by both PKA and PKC, resulting in different functional consequences in each case.

    Abstract Myosin light chain 2 (MLC2) phosphorylation in rat cardiac whole myosin by cardiac myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) or by protein kinase C (PKC) resulted in increased actin-stimulated myosin MgATPase activity. The phosphorylation also increased Ca(2+)-stimulated myofibrillar MgATPase activity upon substitution of the phosphorylated myosin into myofibrils. In addition, phosphorylation of MLC2 in myofibrils by MLCK increased both the Ca(2+)-sensitivity and maximum activity of the myofibrillar Ca(2+)-stimulated MgATPase activity. The latter effect was inhibited by PKC-phosphorylation of troponin I, troponin T and C-protein. A role for both PKC and MLCK in regulating cardiac myofibrillar activity, via phosphorylation of various contractile proteins, is indicated.

    Abstract Two novel ion-containing aliphatic polyurethanes based on 4,4'-methylene dicyclohexyl diisocyanate (H12MDI), polytetramethyl oxide (PTMO) were synthesized using either sulfonated or carboxylated chain extender. The nonionic polyurethane chain extended with 1,4-butanediol, which is denoted as H-M-BD, was synthesized. Pellethane, a biomedical-grade polyurethane, was also studied for comparison. The polymer's bulk, surface, and platelet-contacting properties were studied using Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry, differential scanning calorimetry, water absorption analysis, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, static contact angle analysis, and in vitro platelet adhesion experiments. The effects of ion incorporation on the morphology, surface properties and blood compatibility are discussed. Unlike MDI-based Pellethane, all H12MDI-based polyurethanes are not composed of crystalline hard segment domain but are amorphous. The ionic polyurethanes exhibit a smaller fraction of hydrogen-bonded carbonyl groups, poorer phase separation, smaller fraction of PTMO residing at the surface, and smaller contact angle; however, significant higher water absorption value than H-M-BD and Pellethane. The in vitro platelet adhesion experiments indicated that ion incorporation, especially for carboxylate, significantly reduced the number and the degree of activation of the adherent platelets.
