Abstract:
Abstract We investigated, in vitro and in vivo, the cyclosporin A (CsA) regulation of LPS-induced TNF gene expression and subsequent pathophysiologic changes. In vitro dose-response kinetics data showed that CsA inhibited TNF bioactivity in the supernatant without delaying its production, whereas Northern blot and in situ hybridization analysis demonstrated that CsA did not inhibit TNF mRNA expression. We then sought to examine the in vivo effects of CsA (75 mg/kg) in CBA/J mice that were primed with CFA, and injected 2 wk later with LPS. CsA demonstrated suppression of local levels (ascites) of TNF as measured by either bioactivity or an anti-murine TNF ELISA. However, CsA did not decrease mRNA for TNF, or cell-associated TNF. In vivo kinetics studies were performed to show that CsA blocked both local (ascites) and systemic (plasma) LPS-induced TNF production without delaying these effects. CsA inhibited the neutrophilia and lymphopenia that developed after the LPS challenge, but did not block the lung neutrophilic infiltrate. These observations are helpful in understanding the role of the macrophage in CsA immunosuppression, particularly with regard to the ability of CsA to block LPS-induced TNF secretion.

Abstract:
Adder circuits play a remarkable role in modern microprocessor. Adders are widely used in critical paths of arithmetic operation such as multiplication and subtraction. A Carry Select Adder (CSA) design methodology using a modified 4-bit Carry Look-Ahead (CLA) Adder has been proposed in this research. The proposed 4-bit CLA used hybrid logic style based logic circuits for Carry Generate (Gi) and Carry Propagate (Pi) functions in order to improve performance and reduce the number of transistor used. The modified 4-bit CLA is used as the basic unit for implementation of 32-bit CSA. The proposed design of hybrid CLA based 32-bit CSA has been compared with conventional static CMOS based 32-bit CSA and 32-bit Ripple Cary Adder (RCA) by conducting simulation using Cadence Virtuoso. Power consumption and delay in the proposed 32-bit CSA found 322.6 (uW) and 0.556 (ns) whereas power and delay in the conventional 32-bit CSA was 455.4 (uW) and 0.667 (ns) respectively. We have done all the simulation using Cadence Virtuoso 90 nm tool.

Abstract:
Immune regulation during pregnancy is complex, and thus an optimal therapy for pregnancy complications is always a big challenge to reproductive medicine. Cyclosporin A (CsA), a potent immunosuppressant, prevents rejection of allografts by hosts, but little is known about the modulating effect of CsA on the materno-fetal relationship. Here, pregnant CBA/J females mated with DBA/2 males as an abortion-prone model were administered with CsA on day 4.5 of gestation, and the pregnant CBA/J females mated with BALB/c males were established as successful pregnancy control. It was demonstrated that administration of CsA at the window of implantation significantly up-regulated the expression of CTLA-4, while down-regulating the levels of CD80, CD86, and CD28 at the materno-fetal interface in the CBA/J×DBA/2 abortion-prone matings, and the embryo resorption rate of the abortion-prone matings reduced significantly after CsA treatment, implying that modulation of costimulatory molecule expression by CsA might contribute to preventing the fetus from maternal immune attack. In addition, treatment with CsA induced enhanced growth and reduced cell apoptosis of the murine trophoblast cells. Together, these findings indicate that CsA has a beneficial effect on the materno-fetal interface in abortion-prone matings, leading to a pregnancy outcome improvement, which might provide new therapeutics for spontaneous pregnancy wastage.

Abstract:
A noninvasive measurement of pharyngeal cross-sectional area (CSA) during sleep would be advantageous for research studies. We hypothesized that CSA could be calculated from the measured pharyngeal pressure and flow by finite element analysis (FEA). The retropalatal airway was visualized by using a fiber-optic scope to obtain the measured CSA (mCSA). Flow was measured with a pneumotachometer, and pharyngeal pressure was measured with a pressure catheter at the palatal rim. FEA was performed as follows: by using a three-dimensional image of the upper airway, a mesh of finite elements was created. Specialized software was used to allow the simultaneous calculation of velocity and area for each element by using the measured pressure and flow. In the development phase, 677 simultaneous measurements of CSA, pressure, and flow from one subject during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep were entered into the software to determine a series of equations, based on the continuity and momentum equations, that could calculate the CSA (cCSA). In the validation phase, the final equations were used to calculate the CSA from 1,767 simultaneous measurements of pressure and flow obtained during wakefulness, NREM, and REM sleep from 14 subjects. In both phases, mCSA and cCSA were compared by Bland-Altman analysis. For development breaths, the mean difference between mCSA and cCSA was 0.0 mm2 (95% CI, −0.1, 0.1 mm2). For NREM validation breaths, the mean difference between mCSA and cCSA was 1.1 mm2 (95% CI 1.3, 1.5 mm2). Pharyngeal CSA can be accurately calculated from measured pharyngeal pressure and flow by FEA.

Abstract:
Abstract Highly purified natural killer (NK) cell suspensions were tested for their capacity to release colony-stimulating activity (CSA) in vitro. NK cell suspensions comprised primarily CD16+ cells and were devoid of CD3+ T cells, CD15+ monocytes, and of B cells. CSA was detected in the NK cell supernatants and sustained the growth of myeloid colonies from both normal peripheral blood and bone marrow. CSA could be in part inhibited by pretreating NK cell culture supernatants with a specific goat anti-granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) antiserum. The inhibition, however, was never complete, a finding that suggests that additional factors were responsible for CSA. Incubation of NK cells with K562 cells (an NK-sensitive target) or with normal bone marrow cells resulted in the appearance of a strong colony- inhibiting activity (CIA) in the culture supernatants. Such CIA was demonstrable in an experimental system where bone marrow or peripheral blood progenitors were induced to form myeloid colonies in the presence of conditioned medium by CSA-producing giant cell tumor (GCT) cells. Stimulation of NK cells with NK-insensitive targets failed to induce CIA production. Neutralizing antitumor necrosis factor (TNF) monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) were found capable of inhibiting CIA present in the supernatants of NK cells stimulated with K562 cells. Following treatment with anti-TNF antibodies, CSA was again detectable in the same supernatants. This finding indicates that induction of TNF production did not concomitantly switch off CSA production by NK cells. Pretreatment of NK cells with recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) or gamma interferon (r gamma IFN) did not change the amount of CSA released. However, treatment with rIL-2 caused the appearance of a factor in the NK cell supernatants capable of sustaining the formation of colonies of a larger size.

Abstract:
Cross-sectional area (CSA), peak Ca2+-activated force (Po), fiber specific force (Po/CSA), and unloaded shortening velocity ( Vo) were measured in slow-twitch [containing type I myosin heavy chain (MHC)] and fast-twitch (containing type II MHC) chemically skinned soleus muscle fiber segments obtained from three strains of weight-bearing and 7-day hindlimb-suspended (HS) mice. HS reduced soleus slow MHC content (from ∼50 to ∼33%) in CBA/J and ICR strains without affecting slow MHC content in C57BL/6 mice (∼20% of total MHC). Two-way ANOVA revealed HS-induced reductions in CSA, Po, and Po/CSA of slow and fast fibers from all strains. Fiber Vo was elevated post-HS, but not consistently across strains. No MHC × HS treatment interactions were observed for any variable for C57BL/6 and CBA/J mice, and the two significant interactions found for the ICR strain (CSA, Po) appeared related to inherent pre-HS differences in slow vs. fast fiber CSA. In the mouse HS models studied here, fiber atrophy and contractile dysfunction were partially dependent on animal strain and generally independent of fiber MHC isoform content.

Abstract:
The use of cyclosporin A (CsA) in solid organ transplantation has been shown to be associated with the development of hypertension and nephrotoxicity. Several mechanisms, including endothelin (ET)-1-mediated systemic vasoconstriction, are considered to be responsible for CsA-induced hypertension. This study shows that: (i) incubation of CsA (1µM) with bovine aortic endothelial cells leads to increased ET secretion by+40%; (ii) the use of compactin, the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor and fibric acid, the peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-alpha activator, inhibit the CsA-induced ET secretion to the level below the basal ET secretion, by -32% and -26% respectively; (iii) both inhibitions were reversed by the addition of mevalonate, suggesting communication between the HMG-CoA reductase product and PPAR-alpha pathway. The present findings may be of significant clinical relevance, since statins and fibrates beyond their hypolipidaemic action may represent a potential therapeutic tool in the treatment or prophylaxis of CsA-associated side effects. Furthermore, we suggest that the mevalonate metabolism would interfere with PPAR-alpha activity.

Abstract:
Introduction Numerous data sources suggest a decline in child sexual abuse (CSA) in the United States since the early 1990s. Some evidence also indicates that an earlier period of higher CSA incidence began following World War II. This study examines prevalence estimates of sexual abuse reported retrospectively as having occurred in childhood (ChSA) in two nationally representative surveys of the Canadian population. Methods Data are from 13 931 respondents aged 18 to 76 years from the 2004/2005 Canadian Gender, Alcohol, and Culture: An International Study (GENACIS), and from 22 169 household residents aged 18 years or older who participated in the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey–Mental Health (CCHS-MH). We present inter- and intrasurvey comparisons of ChSA prevalence specific to sex and age groups. Results Findings from both surveys suggest a decline in CSA since 1993, consistent with declines observed in the United States. Results also suggest that 1946 to 1992 was a period of higher risk of CSA, relative to the period before 1946. The evidence was more robust for women. Conclusion Evidence of a decline in CSA in Canada since the early 1990s is encouraging, given the long-term debilitating effects with which it is associated. Continued monitoring is critical. The long-term negative effects associated with CSA underscore the importance of continuing to move from lower risk to zero risk.

Abstract:
Abstract Background: Large granular lymphocyte (LGL) leukemia accounts for a significant part of secondary PRCA. Cyclophosphamide (CPA) therapy has been reported as being useful in the literature. However, because of its rarity, the long-term response and relapse rate after immunosuppressive therapy including CPA in LGL leukemia-associated PRCA are largely unknown, and optimal management of this disorder remains unclear. Objectives: We conducted a nationwide survey of immunosuppressive therapy for PRCA in Japan to elucidate the long-term response and overall survival (OS) of this disorder. This report is a summary focusing on CPA therapy for LGL leukemia-associated PRCA. Methods: The questionnaires were sent to 109 medical institutions in Japan to estimate the number of patients with newly diagnosed acquired PRCA. From a total of 185 patients consisting of 73 idiopathic and 112 secondary PRCA cases, we evaluated 14 patients with LGL leukemia for this report. Endpoints of this study were the response rate and the duration of the response to immunosuppressive therapy and overall survival. Results. Efficacy of the first remission induction therapy was seen in 6 out of 8 patients treated with CPA (75%), 1 out of 4 patients with cyclosporine (CsA) (25%), and 0 of 2 with corticosteroid (0%), respectively. The median initial dose of CPA for the responding patients (n=6) was 100 mg. The initial dose of CsA for the responding patient was 3.7 mg/kg. Two patients, who failed to respond to the initial CPA therapy, received CsA therapy resulting in the response in one patient. Three patients, who failed to respond to the initial CsA therapy, received CPA therapy resulting in the response in all of three patients. Two patients, who failed to respond to the initial prednisolone therapy, received CsA therapy resulting in the response in one patient. We classified the patients with LGL-associated PRCA into the CPA-group (n=9) and the CsA-group (n=3) according to the response to initial or salvage therapy. Relapse was seen in two CPA-responders following discontinuation of maintenance therapy (23, 45 months), whereas no patients relapsed on maintenance CPA therapy. The estimated median duration of the response to CPA was 125 months. The median OS has yet been reached with the median observation period of 89 months. Conclusion: CPA showed an excellent response in LGL leukemia-associated PRCA and CPA-containing regimens were effective to prevent relapse of anemia. However, most patients are still receiving CPA for maintenance therapy, and it remains uncertain whether CPA can induce maintenance-free hematological response.

This report adresses why the currently used scrambling standard CSA needs a replacement. Proposed replacements to CSA are analyzed to some extent, and an alternative replacement (AES128) is analyzed. One alternative being the CSA3, and the other being the CISSA algorithm. Both of the proposed algorithms use the AES algorithm as a base. The CSA3 combines AES128 with a secret cipher, the XRC, while CISSA uses the AES cipher in a feedback mode. The different utilizations makes CSA3 hardware friendly and CISSA software friendly. The implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is analyzed for a 128 bit key length based design, and a specific implementation is presented.

Full text
Abstract:
When administered to mice, by various routes, two days before immunization with a tolerogenic dose (109) of sheep red blood cells, the immunosuppressive drug Cyclosporin A (CsA) prevents the suppression of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactions. This was observed over a wide range of CsA doses (5-200 mg/kg), given, in a single dose, from a week before immunization to a day after, and with circulating CsA levels ranging below 45 ng/ml at the time of sensitization or challenge. The augmentation of DTH was characterized by induration, intense mononuclear cell infiltration, increased deposition of 125I-fibrin within the challenge site and was also reflected in in vitro assays of DTH. Cell transfer experiments showed that the CsA-enhanced DTH could be adoptively transferred to naive recipients, and suggested that CsA may be acting to inhibit a population of Ts cells normally effective during DTH, or to allow TH/TDTH cell priming. In addition, an increase in L3T4+ cells (TH/TDTH) was observed in the CsA-treated mice showing the break in suppression of DTH, suggesting that CsA allowed TH/TDTH cell priming. The augmented DTH reactions in CsA-treated mice were accompanied by profound inhibition of the production of splenic IgM antibody-producing cells and circulating anti-SRBC antibody levels. CsA was also shown to increase basal and mitogen-induced splenic macrophage procoagulant activity. These observations indicate that this model could prove useful in separation and study of cell-mediated and humoural immunity. In addition, they have important cautionary implications for the continuing investigation of the clinical potential of CsA.

Abstract:
Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) is a societal problem whose origins date back to the times of the ancient Greeks and Romans. It is found in all levels of society, from the wealthiest to the poorest; and the short-term and long-term impacts it has on the lives of the victims, can be devastating. There are many reasons for the occurrence of child sexual abuse, but in all cases, the ultimate accountability rests on the shoulders of the sexual offender. The nature of child sexual victimisation varies from verbal suggestions to violent physical force. Irrespective of which type the child is being subjected to, as the weaker partner in the pedagogical relationship with the adult, s/he is never able to defend herself/himself. The global phenomenon, and the increase in CSA, has given rise to the research question, namely: How does child sexual abuse impact on the school life experiences and academic performance of learners at school? The purpose of this research study was to provide insight into the following issues: • The nature and identification of the symptoms of child sexual abuse; • The manner in which sexually abused children manifest their experiences of sexual abuse at school; • How sexually abused children cope with their learning tasks; and • Recommendations for educators. The literature relating to CSA was reviewed, with the aim of establishing a solid theoretical foundation for the study. CSA has been looked at holistically, encompassing the accepted definitions, the related concepts, the nature of sexual abuse, the prevalence and incidence of CSA, the possible causes, the short-term and long-term impacts, and the suggestions by adult survivors for use by educators in their efforts to help abused learners. 11 In an attempt to provide acceptable answers to the research problem, a mixed- method research design was implemented. The research study was conducted in two phases: Stage 1 consisted of an exploration of the research problem by means of the following question put to the participants: In your experience as an adult survivor of child sexual abuse how did the abuse impact on your school life experiences, including your academic performance? A total of nineteen participants from the Eastern Cape Province shared their experiences, by means of writing their life story as a narrative. Purposive and availability sampling of adult survivors was undertaken. In order to ensure the trustworthiness and authenticity of the research methodology, Guba’s model of data verification was used. Accepted ethical measures were taken into consideration and adhered to during the research. The analysed data were taken directly from the narratives that the individual participants saved onto flashdrives. Consensus by the researcher and coder was reached regarding the identification of themes, categories and subcategories. The following four significant themes emerged, based on the results of the data analysis: Theme One: Health, sexuality and the sexual experiences of sexual abused children and adolescents. Theme Two: The social development of sexually abused children and adolescents. Theme Three: School-related experiences and academic performance of sexually abused children and adolescents. Theme Four: Advice and suggestions from adult survivors for young victims of CSA. 12 Stage 2 offered recommendations to the teachers of learners who are, or have been sexually abused, derived from the findings of Phase 1. The conclusion was reached that CSA does have an impact on the academic performance of learners. Therefore, teachers are in need of a greater understanding and awareness of CSA, in order to help these learners.

Abstract:
Research on traumatic experiences has focused on disclosure to social networks. Among these findings, disclosure was lower for individuals at risk for PTSD than the general population, and the amount of disclosure depended on the person to whom the individual disclosed. Social support can be related to fewer psychological problems such as PTSD. In this way the understanding of disclosure, and its predictors and consequences become especially relevant. This current study examines disclosure of Childhood Sexual Assault (CSA) experiences among college students and perceived quality of their current relationships (i.e., whether there is someone they can confide in about personal problems or feelings without holding back). As disclosures occur primarily to create and maintain social bonds (Fivush, Bohanek,Robertson, & Duke; 2004), disclosure may lead to greater intimacy. Or, individuals may disclose because they already have quality relationships. Participants were identified from a sample of 654 college students attending a Southeastern university and who completed an online survey. From this sample 44 (6.73%) had experienced CSA (Finkelhor). Of these, 18 had disclosed their experiences, and 39 indicated having a confiding relationship with someone in their lives. Other findings indicated that although 75% of those without a confiding relationship were from the group that had not disclosed, disclosure may not directly relate to the level of quality of relationship (as defined by confiding). Specifically, of those who did not disclose, the large majority (88.5%) indicated having a confiding relationship. And, of those who had at least one confiding relationship, only 41 percent had disclosed their CSA. Future research may look at other indicators of quality in relationships and how they relate to disclosure. Moreover, future studies might explore how disclosure does or does not affect the relationship quality with specific social network members.

Abstract:
AbstractThis study identifies the need for holistic understanding of gender-differentiated climate-smart agriculture (CSA) adoption by smallholder farmers who are at the frontline of climate-related hazards and disasters in Africa. CSA adoption is predominantly informed by a parochial linear approach to farmers’ decision-making processes. Resilience-building and adaptation, which forms the second pillar of CSA and can enhance understanding of the CSA adoption nuances at farmer level, often receives less attention in adoption investigations. To appreciate CSA adoption from a resilience perspective, this study focused on resilience-building based on the interlinkage between CSA and disaster risk reduction and applied a resilience perspective in a gendered approach to CSA adoption by smallholder farmers. Through primary data collected in an exploratory sequential mixed method design, the study presents a proposed normative gender-sensitive CSA adoption framework to guide CSA implementation strategies and policies. The framework is anchored in resilience thinking, and some of its key components include gender-sensitive CSA technology development, risk-informed decision-making by heterogeneous smallholder farmers, gender-sensitive enabling factors, resilience strategies, gender equitable and equal ownership, and control of and access to resilience capitals. The proposed framework can be used to improve CSA adoption by smallholder farmers by addressing gendered vulnerability and inequality that influence low adoption.

Australian Catholic University, August 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.24268/acu.8w9w4.

Full text
Abstract:
[Excerpt] We recently conducted a rapid evidence review on educational programs that focus on child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention (Trew et al., 2021). In that review, we learned that child-focused CSA prevention education could be enhanced by looking at how to improve the parent engagement or involvement. We know from a previous review (Hunt & Walsh, 2011), that parents’ views about CSA prevention education are important. But further evidence is needed to develop concrete strategies for strengthening parent engagement in appropriate and effective ways. As identified in the above-mentioned review (Trew et al., 2021), prominent researchers in the CSA prevention field have noted that if prevention efforts are to be successful, it is imperative to include parents (Hunter, 2011; Mendelson & Letourneau, 2015; J. Rudolph & M.J. Zimmer-Gembeck, 2018; Wurtele & Kenny, 2012). This research focuses on two complementary aspects of parent engagement in CSA prevention: (i) parent participation in parent-focused CSA prevention (ii) parent participation in school-based or child-focused CSA prevention.

Full text
Abstract:
In the past few decades, climate-smart agriculture (CSA) has been promoted to improve food security and raise incomes as a strategy for sustainable agricultural development. The adoption rates among smallholder farmers, particularly in Africa, remain low and have varied in different contexts. We investigated the market participation spill over effects from the adoption of CSA practices in central Malawi. We tested the hypothesis that the extent of the use of CSA practices in the past 10 years can lead to production surpluses that enable smallholder farmers to participate in markets and thereby increase agricultural incomes. The findings suggest, among others, the need to intensify efforts to promote CSA adoption specifically over a longer period for benefits of the technologies to materialise. The adoption of CSA practices over time enhances crop market participation – an important aspect required for production sustainability as well as for transforming agriculture towards greater market orientation among smallholder farmers.

Full text
Abstract:
In austere environments with limited access to clean water, it is advantageous to use nonpotable water for construction (i.e., mixing water for concrete.) In rapid-response situations such as rapid airfield damage recovery (RADR), the use of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cements is beneficial for expedient pavement repairs because of their rapid strength gain characteristics. However, the hydration products formed by CSA cements are substantially different from those formed by ordinary portland cement and might react differently to impurities that water sources may contain. A laboratory study component investigated the application of various salts and impure sources of mixing water with commercially available CSA cement-based products. A field component studied the application of naturally occurring impure water sources for RADR. Recommendations are made for implementation of impure mixing water for RADR using commercially available flowable fill and concrete products made with CSA cement.
