OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the fatigue life of stacked and single, veterinary cuttable plates (VCP) and small, limited contact, dynamic compression plates (LC-DCP). STUDY DESIGN: In vitro biomechanical study. METHODS: Fracture models (constructs; n = 8) were assembled for each of 6 groups all with 8-hole plates: 2.0 mm LC-DCP; 2.4 mm LC-DCP; single 1.5/2.0 mm VCP; stacked 1.5/2.0 mm VCP; single 2.0/2.7 mm VCP; and stacked 2.0/2.7 mm VCP. Plate(s) were secured to 2 polyvinylchloride pipe lengths, mounted in a testing system with a custom jig, and subjected to axial loading (10-100 N) for 1,000,000 cycles at 10 Hz or until failure. Differences in number of cycles to failure among groups were compared. Failure mode was determined. RESULTS: All LC-DCP and single VCP constructs failed before 1,000,000 cycles. Stacked 2.0/2.7 mm VCP constructs withstood 1,000,000 cycles without failure. ANOVA and Fisher's least significant difference tests demonstrated significantly more cycles to failure for the stacked 1.5/2.0 mm VCP and stacked 2.0/2.7 mm VCP compared with the single 1.5/2.0 mm VCP, single 2.0/2.7 mm VCP, 2.0 mm LC-DCP, or 2.4 mm LC-DCP. Constructs that failed did so through a screw hole adjacent to the gap. CONCLUSION: Stacked VCP constructs have greater fatigue lives than comparably sized LC-DCP or single VCP constructs. Plates with 2.4 mm screws were not significantly different from the comparable construct with 2.0 mm screws. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Although these data reveal that stacked VCP create a superior construct with respect to cyclic fatigue, surgeons must decide whether this is a clinical advantage on a case-by-case basis. 相似文献

We have studied in this work the natural variability in Holm oak (Quercus ilex subsp. ballota) by analyzing acorn morphometry and chemical composition in 13 populations from the Andalusia region (southern Spain). Acorn morphometry showed statistic significant differences between the populations with a higher acorn weight, length, and diameter in the northern provenances (TJA, GSE, CTH, CHU, APS, and PCO), while the Southern provenances (RMA, SAA, CCO, BCA, and SCA) showed lower value that even decreased with the altitude. Acorn chemical composition also showed statistic significant differences between populations. Morphometry and chemical composition data were subjected to clustering analysis, and two major clusters were detected. This analysis showed that northern populations (CTH, TJA, SCA, CHU, PCO, GSE, and APS) showed a tendency to present values highest in acorn weight (5.42?g vs. 3.21?g); acorn length (37.21?mm vs. 28.73?mm); acorn diameter (16.12?mm vs. 13.79?mm); ash (1.88% vs. 1.55%); protein (4.82% vs. 4.38%); fat (12.55% vs. 9.92%); and oleic acid (66.93 vs. 66.4%). On the contrary, Southern populations (SSA, VJA, CCO, BCA, RG, and RMA) showed a tendency to present values lowest in sugar (10.28% vs. 11.25%); energy (20,076.71?kJ/kg vs. 20,149.26?kJ/kg); palmitic (16.11% vs. 16.39%) and linoleic acids (13.07% vs. 13.11%). The populations studied here seemed to integrate acorn morphology and chemical composition related to environmental conditions of the original provenances. These data have provided biochemical markers that help establish phylogenic associations between populations and also reveal potentially account as an alternative source for dietary nutrition. 相似文献

The parthenogenetic earthworm Aporrectodea trapezoides (Dugès, 1828) is widely distributed all over the world due to European agricultural practices. In order to provide baseline life cycle data, cocoons were obtained from field-collected individuals and their features and viability, incubation period, number of hatchlings and mortality rate were recorded. Singleton and twin earthworms from this first experiment were cultured from hatching during a 490-day period under controlled conditions with biomass, survival, reproductive condition and cocoon production recorded at intervals of 15 days. On average, individuals of isolated-reared A. trapezoides reached maturity at day 153 and body weight at maturity was approximately 1 g. In order to record reproductive traits and differences between field-collected and laboratory-reared individuals, 40 microcosms with an isolated earthworm (20 with field-collected individuals and 20 with laboratory-reared ones) and 40 containing groups of three (20 with each type of individual) were maintained during a complete year under controlled conditions. The amount of soil per individual was the same in both types of microcosm. Both the individuals kept in isolation and those cultured in groups produced cocoons, hence completely proving the obligatory parthenogenetic reproduction in this species without copulation or need of any physical-chemical stimulus. In general, isolated earthworms produced a significantly higher number of cocoons than those in groups of three, and the same was recorded for laboratory-reared earthworms when compared with field-collected ones. This study highlights the importance of knowing the life cycle and reproductive traits of one possible key species in soil management due to its vast distribution and high density in soils, and the species’ highly recommended use in applied studies because of its ease of culture. 相似文献

An intraluminal stent was used to maintain patency of a recurrent nasopharyngeal stenosis (NPS) in a cat. The stenotic membrane within the nasopharynx was resected, and a 2-cm long, braided-wire endoprosthesis was placed as a stent. The patient was evaluated at one day, six weeks, 19 weeks, and 49 weeks following surgery. The cat tolerated the stent well. The 19-week recheck revealed granulation tissue partially obstructing the pharyngeal aspect of the stent which was subsequently surgically resected. Complications after excision of the granulation tissue included intermittent upper respiratory congestion and nasal discharge. The 49-week recheck showed no increased granulation tissue; however, upper respiratory congestion was still present. This particular stent, and its use as described in this paper, is recommended in cases of chronic recurrent NPS. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to verify the effects of methanol (MeOH) and hydroalcoholic (HA) extracts and their respective partition phases obtained from white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa (L.) C.F. Gaertn.) leaves on human thrombin activity. Among the extracts and phases tested, only the ethyl acetate and butanolic partitions significantly inhibited human thrombin activity and the coagulation of plasma in the presence of this enzyme. Chromatographic analyses of the thrombin samples incubated with these phases revealed that different compounds were able to interact with thrombin. The butanolic phase of the MeOH extract had the most potent inhibitory effects, reducing enzymatic activity and thrombin-induced plasma coagulation. Two glycosylated flavonoids in this partition were identified as the most potent inhibitors of human thrombin activity, namely quercetin-3-O-arabinoside (QAra) and quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside (Qn). Chromatographic analyses of thrombin samples incubated with these flavonoids demonstrated the chemical modification of this enzyme, suggesting that the MeOH extract contained other compounds that both induced structural changes in thrombin and diminished its activity. In this article, we show that despite the near absence of the medical use of mangrove compounds, this plant contains natural compounds with potential therapeutic applications. 相似文献

Fruit set in kiwifruit is strongly dependent on pollination, which is limited by the lack of efficient male pollen donors,
among other factors. We searched for molecular markers that could be polymorphic in relation to flowering time in order to
classify male kiwifruit plants to discard those that are not likely to perform as efficient pollen donors. Random amplified
polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and modified amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were generated using 41 male kiwifruit
plants in two flowering groups, early- and late-flowering males (with respect to the female cultivar ‘Hayward’). One RAPD
and nine modified-AFLP markers polymorphic between male plants exhibiting different flowering time were identified, sequenced
and analysed in databases. Unweighted pair group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA) clustering and multidimensional scaling
showed that these markers could be used to classify the male plants into flowering groups. Analysis of molecular variance
(AMOVA) agreed with this classification, showing that most of the genetic variation is found between flowering groups. Sequence
analysis based on a database search revealed that the polymorphism PolM contains a 7-nucleotide long element involved in the
repression of the phytochrome A gene, that Pol4 is a partial sequence of a phytochrome B gene, and that sequences Pol3, Pol5,
Pol7, and Pol9 show high identity with ESTs from kiwifruit buds treated with hydrogen cyanamide. Clustering analysis supported
the previous classification of males into flowering groups, making it feasible to predict male plants’ flowering times with
respect to the cultivar ‘Hayward’ based upon these molecular markers. 相似文献

The effect of tartaric acid and other organic acids on alcoholic fermentation was studied. Organic acids in media with high sugar concentrations and ammonium as the sole nitrogen source had an enormous impact on Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism during alcoholic fermentation. The main effect on yeast metabolism was the quick acidification of the media in the absence of organic acids. All of the organic acids used in this study (tartaric, malic, citric, and succinic acids) showed a buffering capacity, but not all of the acids had the same one. However, the results suggested that buffering should not be considered the only effect of organic acids on yeast metabolism. Nitrogen source also had a great influence on media pH. Ammonium consumption by yeasts produced a greater acidification of the media than when amino acids were used. 相似文献

In order to investigate the seasonal and geographical distribution of snow concentrations anddeposition fluxes of environmentally relevant ionic species in the Alps, the international programSNOSP was initiated. In the framework of this program, intercomparisons of snow samplingtechniques and analytical methods to determine the ionic species C1-, NO 3 - ,SO 4 2- , K+, Na+, NH4 +, Mg2+, and Ca2+, as well as the pH and the specificconductivity were performed. The concentrations of these species in the snow samples collectedin the SNOSP program varied by orders of magnitude with, e.g., concentrations of NO 3 - , SO 4 2- , and NH4 + ranging from 0.2-60, 0.2-90, and 0.1-60 µeq L-1,respectively. The intercomparisons revealed a reasonable agreement of the determinations of thespecies Cl-, NO 3 - , SO 4 2- , Na+, and NH4 + in snow. Results were less satisfactory for K+, Mg2+, Ca2+,and H+, mainly due to the very low concentrations. In conclusion, recommendations areformulated for the reliable derivation of chemical inventories from snow packs. 相似文献
