Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study was part of the Global Burden of Disease 2010 study and aimed to quantify the burden arising from low back pain (LBP) due to occupational exposure to ergonomic risk factors. METHODS Exposure prevalence was based on occupation distribution; estimates of relative risk came from a meta-analysis of relevant published literature. The work-related burden was estimated as disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Estimates were made for each of 21 world regions and 187 countries, separately for 1990 and 2010 using consistent methods. RESULTS Worldwide, LBP arising from ergonomic exposures at work was estimated to cause 21.7 million DALYs in 2010. The overall population attributable fraction was 26%, varying considerably with age, sex and region. 62% of LBP DALYs were in males-the largest numbers were in persons aged 35-55 years. The highest relative risk (3.7) was in the agricultural sector. The largest number of DALYs occurred in East Asia and South Asia, but on a per capita basis the biggest burden was in Oceania. There was a 22% increase in overall LBP DALYs arising from occupational exposures between 1990 and 2010 due to population growth; rates dropped by 14% over the same period. CONCLUSIONS LBP arising from ergonomic exposures at work is an important cause of disability. There is a need for improved information on exposure distributions and relative risks, particularly in developing countries.

Abstract
Abstract
An experimental study of the development of orientation of mixed fiber and flake polymer compounds in polymer processing operation including extrusion and molding is discussed. Aramid fiber and talc and mica flakes are studied. The orientation of the particles is determined using wide angle x-ray diffraction. It is found that mixed particle systems lead to lower orientation of both fibers and flakes. The fibers tend to orient in the primary machine direction, while the flakes tend to orient perpendicular to the fibers. This is distinct from fiber compounds and flake compounds where fibers orient in the plane of the machine and transverse directions and flakes orient parallel to machine surfaces.

Abstract
Abstract
A basic study of blending two different polymers (polyethylene and polyamide 6) in a modular co-rotating twin screw extruder is presented. The development of phase morphology was observed along the axis of the modular screw. Five different modular screw designs are considered. We first look at a machine containing all right-handed screw elements. We then consider a machine with all right-handed elements plus a single left-handed screw element. The study then turns to machines with combined screw and kneading disc elements. The kneading discs play a key role in both melting polymers and in enhancing dispersive mixing. Increasing the number of kneading disc blocks gives enhanced dispersion.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the benefit of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in differentiating xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis from the wall-thickening type of gallbladder cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study was approved by the institutional review board. Fourteen patients with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis and 19 patients with the wall-thickening type of gallbladder cancer were included. Qualitative (visual diffusion restriction compared to liver parenchyma) and quantitative [apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)] analyses were performed. Conventional MRI findings including dynamic enhancement pattern between the two groups were also analysed. Two observers independently reviewed conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images and subsequently reviewed combined conventional MRI and DWI images. Pairwise comparison of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was used to compare diagnostic performances. RESULTS In conventional MRI findings, xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis showed significant continuity of enhancing mucosal line [79% (11/14) versus 26% (5/19), p = 0.003] and intramural T2-high signal intensity [64% (9/14) versus 21% (4/19), p = 0.012] compared to the wall-thickening type of gallbladder cancer. The enhancement pattern of gallbladder cancer compared to liver parenchyma showed earlier onset than that of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (p = 0.001). Diffusion restriction was more frequently seen in the wall-thickening type of gallbladder cancer (68%, 13/19) than in xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (7%, 1/14; p < 0.001). The mean ADC value of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis was higher than that of the wall-thickening type of gallbladder cancer with statistical significance (1.637 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s versus 1.076 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s, p = 0.005). Diagnostic performance [area under ROC curve (Az)] of both observers improved significantly after additional review of DWI; Az improved from 0.737 to 0.930 (p = 0.027) for observer 1 and from 0.675 to 0.938 (p = 0.008) for observer 2. CONCLUSION Addition of DWI to conventional MRI improves discrimination between xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis and the wall-thickening type of gallbladder cancer.

Abstract
Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) regulates reproduction via binding a G-protein coupled receptor on the surface of the gonadotroph, through which it transmits signals, mostly via the mitogen-activated protein (MAPK) cascade, to increase synthesis of the gonadotrophin hormones: luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Activation of the MAPK cascade requires an elevation in cytosolic Ca(2+) levels, which is a result of both calcium influx and mobilisation from intracellular stores. However, Ca(2+) also transmits signals via an MAPK-independent pathway, through binding calmodulin (CaM), which is then able to bind a number of proteins to impart diverse downstream effects. Although the ability of GnRH to activate CaM was recognised over 20 years ago, only recently have some of the downstream effects been elucidated. GnRH was shown to activate the CaM-dependent phosphatase, calcineurin, which targets gonadotrophin gene expression both directly and indirectly via transcription factors such as nuclear factor of activated T-cells and Nur77, the Transducer of Regulated CREB (TORC) co-activators and also the prolyl isomerase, Pin1. Gonadotrophin gene expression is also regulated by GnRH-induced CaM-dependent kinases (CaMKs); CaMKI is able to derepress the histone deacetylase-inhibition of β-subunit gene expression, whereas CaMKII appears to be essential for the GnRH-activation of all three subunit genes. Asides from activating gonadotrophin gene expression, GnRH also exerts additional effects on gonadotroph function, some of which clearly occur via CaM, including the proliferation of immature gonadotrophs, which is dependent on calcineurin. In this review, we summarise these pathways, and discuss the additional functions that have been proposed for CaM with respect to modifying GnRH-induced signalling pathways via the regulation of the small GTP-binding protein, Gem, and/or the regulator of G-protein signalling protein 2.

Abstract
Peripheral blood monocytes (PBMs) and alveolar macrophages (AMs) are widely recognized as cells that play a central role in the regulation of immune and inflammatory activities, as well as in tissue remodeling. The fulfillment of these activities is mediated by complex and multifactorial processes involving products derived from macrophages and monocytes (1). Monocytes are an important source of cytokines that are released in asthma and are likely precursor cells to AMs. Macrophages usually elaborate powerful suppressive signals to limit the proliferative potential of T-cells, thus maintaining local immunologic homeostasis (2). In asthma, macrophages and monocytes may be stimulated by specific allergens to augment T-cell proliferation (3), which may result from a different profile of cytokines released from these cells. For example, increased release of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) may inhibit the immunosuppressive effect of macrophages (4). Indeed, macrophages and monocytes from asthmatic subjects release increased amounts of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1β (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor-α, Interferon-γ (IFN-γ), IL-6, and GM-CSF (5-8). Inhaled steroids used for the treatment of asthma reduce the number of infiltrating eosinophils, T-cells, macrophages, and mast cells in the airway submucosa (9). Suppression of proinflammatory cytokine release, such as GM-CSF, IL-4, IL-5, and regulated upon activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), from many inflammatory and resident airway cells, is a likely mechanism of steroid action (10-12). Proinflammatory cytokine expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the continued effectiveness and safety of Gel-200 following observation and open-label retreatment in an extension protocol following a randomized, double-blind, phosphate buffered saline (PBS)-controlled trial (initial treatment trial). DESIGN Patients who completed initial blinded treatment were allowed to enroll into this extension protocol that permitted retreatment with Gel-200 when eligibility criteria were met. Retreatment was administered with a Gel-200 injection, without knowledge of initial treatment assignment (Gel-200 or PBS). Retreated patients were followed for up to 13 weeks. In the extension phase, durability of response following the first injection was analyzed by time to retreatment eligibility. During separate extension and retreatment phases, responses were assessed by WOMAC pain, stiffness, and physical function subscores, total score, and global assessments of disease activity (patient, physician) as well as safety of Gel-200. RESULTS In the extension phase, time-to-event analyses through 26 weeks following the initial injection showed statistically significantly longer times to retreatment in patients receiving Gel-200 compared with PBS (P < 0.05). Retreatment with Gel-200, e.g., a second injection, resulted in statistically significant improvements from retreatment baseline in all outcome measures (P < 0.0001). The incidence and type of adverse events after retreatment were comparable to those observed following initial injection of Gel-200 without allergic reactions, including "pseudosepsis" or unanticipated treatment-related serious adverse events. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that a single injection of Gel-200 resulted in durable effectiveness through 26 weeks and that repeated treatment with Gel-200 relieved symptomatic osteoarthritis with a favorable safety profile.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a polymicrobial oral infection characterized by the destruction of tooth-supporting structures that can be linked to systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. Porphyromonas gingivalis, a bacterium implicated in the etiology of periodontitis, has shown variation in inducing T-cell responses among different strains. Therefore, in this study we investigated the strain-specific immune response using a murine experimental model of periodontitis. Periodontitis was induced by P. gingivalis strains A7A1-28, W83 and W50, and later confirmed by the presence of P. gingivalis in the oral microflora and by alveolar bone resorption. Splenocytes were evaluated for gene expression, cellular proteins and cytokine expression. Dendritic cells were stimulated in vitro for T helper cell-cytokine profiling. Results showed that P. gingivalis had the ability to alter the systemic immune response after bacterial exposure. Strains W50 and W83 were shown to induce alveolar bone loss, whereas the A7A1-28 strain did not significantly promote bone resorption in mice. Splenocytes derived from mice infected with strains W50 and W83 induced expression of high levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4) but A7A1-28 stimulated increased IL-10. Stimulation of dendritic cells in vitro showed a similar pattern of cytokine expression of IL-12p40, IL-6 and transforming growth factor-β among strains. A distinct systemic response in vivo was observed among different strains of P. gingivalis, with IL-10 associated with the least amount of alveolar bone loss. Evaluation of pathogen-driven systemic immune responses associated with periodontal disease pathogenesis may assist in defining how periodontitis may impact other diseases.

Abstract
AIM Individuals requiring insulin therapy for type 2 diabetes often require escalation of their regimen to achieve glycaemic control. Optimal management strategies for uncontrolled type 2 diabetes would improve glycaemic control without hypoglycaemia and weight gain. This study compared the efficacy and tolerability of adding sitagliptin, an oral dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, and an up to 20% increase in insulin dose in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes on insulin therapy. METHODS We conducted a 24-week, randomized, active-competitor, parallel-group study in subjects with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes [haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) = 7.5-11%] currently using insulin therapy. Subjects were randomly assigned to either the sitagliptin adding (100 mg daily, n = 70) or an insulin-increasing arm (≥ 10% at week 12 and ≥ 10% at week 24, n = 70) while continuing other medications. RESULTS Average baseline HbA1c was 9.2% in both groups. HbA1c decreased more at 24 weeks in the sitagliptin adding than the insulin-increasing arm (-0.6 ± 0.1% vs. -0.2 ± 0.1%, p < 0.01). Insulin was increased by 25% at 24 weeks in the insulin-increasing group. Hypoglycaemic events were less common and less severe in sitagliptin adding arm than insulin-increasing arm (7.0 vs. 14.3 events per patient-year, p < 0.05). Weight was stable in the sitagliptin adding subjects (68.6 ± 11.6 vs. 68.1 ± 11.4 kg) but increased in the insulin-increasing subjects (66.2 ± 10.6 vs. 67.4 ± 9.7 kg, p < 0.05). Other adverse events occurred at similar rates in both arms. CONCLUSIONS Compared to a 25% increase in insulin dose, adding sitagliptin to an insulin-based regimen was more effective at lowering HbA1c and associated with less hypoglycaemia and weight gain over 24 weeks. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER NCT01100125.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess and compare the open beam and multi-leaf collimator modeling of Pinnacle, Ecilpse (AAA and Acuros) and RayStation planning systems. METHOD AND MATERIALS The 6MV photon beam of a Varian TrueBeam with Millennium 120 MLC was used for this study. Measurements made with combinations of ion chamber, radiochromic film, and diodes in water and plastic phantoms. Depth and crossplane profiles of open square fields shaped by jaws or MLC ranged from 3×3 to 40×40cm2 and from 0 to 20 cm depth. Depth dose, flatness (80% of FWHM), and penumbra (20-80%) of calculated and measured profiles were compared. Various MLC test patterns were calculated and compared with measurements to assess the modeling of the round leaf edge, tongue-and-groove, and interleaf transmissions. RESULTS Calculated depth doses are within 1.0% and flatness is within 2% for all field sizes and depths. Jaw penumbrae are within 2mm and 3mm for 20×20 and 30×30cm2 at 10cm depth respectively. MLC penumbrae (20-80%) of the three systems are within 0.3mm and 1.0mm for a 3×3cm2 and 10×10cm2 MLC apertures. Notably, to match the measured MLC round-edge transmission, the half thickness (10% transmission) leaf-tip width of the current RayStation MLC model has to be broadened to 10mm. All three systems appear to adequately model the tongue-and-groove. Pinnacle explicitly models the interleaf transmission while Eclipse and RayStation simply use average MLC transmission. CONCLUSIONS All three systems are capable of generating clinically acceptable beam models for open fields. Based upon the round-edge profile, Eclipse and Pinnacle provide better MLC models than RayStation. Among the three systems, Eclipse took the least time and effort to commission these features.

Abstract
PURPOSE Accurate modeling of the dose distribution in a lung tumor is challenging for traditional dose calculation algorithms. We compare the dose distributions of four commercial dose calculation Methods: Raysearch (Raysearch Laboratories) and Pinnacle (Philips Healthcare) collapsed cone, and Eclipse AAA and Eclipse Acuros,(Varian Medical Systems) with measurements using radiochromic film in a lung tumor phantomMethods: A simple lung tumor phantom was constructed using a thermoplastic cylinder 29 mm diameter and 40mm in length (density 1.3 gm/cc) imbedded in cork phantom 25 × 25 × 20 cm of density 0.32 gm/cc. Nine film layers normal to the axis of the cylinder where placed between layers of cork, above, below and through the cylindrical inhomogeneity. The phantom was irradiated with a single asymmetric 10×10 cm 6 MV field with the central axis collinear with the cylinder axis. Thirteen film exposures at 5 cm depth taken with doses 0-10 Gy were used to calibrate the film. The phantom was CT scanned and the DICOM study loaded into each of the treatment planning systems to calculate the dose distribution in the phantom. RESULTS Away from cork-poly interfaces, agreement between the four algorithms was within 3% of the film measurements. For Acuros, the dose at the edge of the cylinder was found to be up to 2% lower than that at the center of the cylinder possibly because of the loss of lateral electron equilibrium. CONCLUSIONS All four algorithms achieved remarkable agreement with the radiochromic film measurement. The Acuros algorithm appeared to more accurately model the peripheral dose deficit in the tumor, although a more detailed study is required for confirmation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the safety and efficacy of a single intra-articular (IA) injection of a new cross-linked hyaluronic acid product, Gel-200, with phosphate buffered saline (PBS, control) in a multi-center randomized controlled trial in patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. DESIGN Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive a single injection of Gel-200 or PBS, after joint aspiration. The primary measure of effectiveness was Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain subscores by 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS); secondary outcomes included: total WOMAC, physical function, and stiffness subscores; patient and physician global assessments of disease activity, Outcome Measures in Rheumatology Clinical Trials and Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OMERACT-OARSI) strict responders, as well as safety of Gel-200. RESULTS Of 379 patients randomized, safety was evaluated in 377 and efficacy in 375 (98.9% randomized) in the intent-to-treat population. Effectiveness of Gel-200 by WOMAC pain subscores was statistically significant at week 13 (P=0.037). Mean improvements from baseline in WOMAC pain subscores consistently favored Gel-200 at each visit. Effectiveness of Gel-200 treatment was statistically significant over weeks 3-13 by WOMAC total score, physical function, and physician global evaluations (P<0.05). The number of "strict" OMERACT-OARSI responders was statistically significant from weeks 6 to 13 (P=0.022). Adverse events were not significantly different between treatment groups, including serious adverse events considered related to study treatment. CONCLUSIONS This trial demonstrated that a single injection of Gel-200 was well tolerated and relieved pain associated with symptomatic OA of the knee over 13 weeks.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Neuropsychiatric events occur unpredictably in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and most biomarker associations remain to be prospectively validated. This study examined a disease inception cohort of 1047 SLE patients to determine which autoantibodies at enrolment predicted subsequent neuropsychiatric events. METHODS Patients with a recent SLE diagnosis were assessed prospectively for up to 10 years for neuropsychiatric events using the American College of Rheumatology case definitions. Decision rules of graded stringency determined whether neuropsychiatric events were attributable to SLE. Associations between the first neuropsychiatric event and baseline autoantibodies (lupus anticoagulant (LA), anticardiolipin, anti-β(2) glycoprotein-I, anti-ribosomal P and anti-NR2 glutamate receptor) were tested by Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS Disease duration at enrolment was 5.4 ± 4.2 months, follow-up was 3.6 ± 2.6 years. Patients were 89.1% female with mean (±SD) age 35.2 ± 13.7 years. 495/1047 (47.3%) developed one or more neuropsychiatric event (total 917 events). Neuropsychiatric events attributed to SLE were 15.4% (model A) and 28.2% (model B). At enrolment 21.9% of patients had LA, 13.4% anticardiolipin, 15.1% anti-β(2) glycoprotein-I, 9.2% anti-ribosomal P and 13.7% anti-NR2 antibodies. LA at baseline was associated with subsequent intracranial thrombosis (total n=22) attributed to SLE (model B) (HR 2.54, 95% CI 1.08 to 5.94). Anti-ribosomal P antibody was associated with subsequent psychosis (total n=14) attributed to SLE (model B) (HR 3.92, 95% CI 1.23 to 12.5, p=0.02). Other autoantibodies did not predict neuropsychiatric events. CONCLUSION In a prospective study of 1047 recently diagnosed SLE patients, LA and anti-ribosomal P antibodies are associated with an increased future risk of intracranial thrombosis and lupus psychosis, respectively.

Abstract
There is accumulating epidemiological evidence that exposure to some solvents, metals, asphyxiants and other substances in humans is associated with an increased risk of acquiring hearing loss. Furthermore, simultaneous and successive exposure to certain chemicals along with noise can increase the susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss. There are no regulations that require hearing monitoring of workers who are employed at locations in which occupational exposure to potentially ototoxic chemicals occurs in the absence of noise exposure. This project was undertaken to develop a toxicological database allowing the identification of possible ototoxic substances present in the work environment alone or in combination with noise exposure. Critical toxicological data were compiled for chemical substances included in the Quebec occupational health regulation. The data were evaluated only for noise exposure levels that can be encountered in the workplace and for realistic exposure concentrations up to the short-term exposure limit or ceiling value (CV) or 5 times the 8-h time-weighted average occupational exposure limit (TWA OEL) for human data and up to 100 times the 8-h TWA OEL or CV for animal studies. In total, 224 studies (in 150 articles of which 44 evaluated the combined exposure to noise and a chemical) covering 29 substances were evaluated using a weight of evidence approach. For the majority of cases where potential ototoxicity was previously proposed, there is a paucity of toxicological data in the primary literature. Human and animal studies indicate that lead, styrene, toluene and trichloroethylene are ototoxic and ethyl benzene, n-hexane and p-xylene are possibly ototoxic at concentrations that are relevant to the occupational setting. Carbon monoxide appears to exacerbate noise-induced hearing dysfunction. Toluene interacts with noise to induce more severe hearing losses than the noise alone.
