Abstract
One promising practice for increasing active learning in undergraduate science education is the use of a mentoring network. The Promoting Active Learning and Mentoring (PALM) Network was launched with practitioners from several professional societies and disciplines to make changes in their teaching based on evidence-based practices and to encourage the members to reflect deeply on their teaching experiences. Members of the Network interviewed seven previous Fellows, 1 to 6 years after completing their fellowship, to better understand the value of the Network and how these interactions impacted their ability to sustain change toward more active teaching practices. The interviews resulted in the creation of three personas that reflect the kinds of educators who engaged with the Network: Neil the Novice, Issa the Isolated, and Etta the Expert. Key themes emerged from the interviews about how interactions with the PALM Network sustained change toward evidence-based teaching practices allowing the members to readily adapt to the online learning environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding how the personas intersect with the ADKAR model contributes to a better understanding of how mentoring networks facilitate transformative change toward active learning and can inform additional professional development programs.

Abstract
A large body of data suggests that implementing active learning practices in a STEM classroom contributes to increased success in both achievement of student learning outcomes and retention of students. Despite these findings, significant barriers exist for instructors implementing active learning strategies in their undergraduate classrooms. These barriers can be effectively addressed by providing sustained support to instructors and postdoctoral trainees interested in implementing active learning strategies in their teaching practice. The Promoting Active Learning and Mentoring (PALM) network attains this objective by connecting instructors interested in learning more about active learning (Fellows) with individuals who have extensive expertise related to this practice (mentors). These facilitated connections occur in the form of active mentorship for a year or more, virtual journal clubs, and biannual gatherings of PALM Fellows and mentors. Here, we describe the foundation on which PALM was built and explain how a successful mentorship program can pave the way for educators to adapt and implement evidence-based practices like active learning in a college classroom.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine the response to mivacurium, we prospectively studied onset time and complete spontaneous recovery from mivacurium-induced neuromuscular block in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). METHODS Twelve boys with DMD, age 5-14 yr, seven of them wheelchair-bound, ASA II-III, and 12 age- and sex-matched controls (ASA I) were enrolled in the study. Anaesthesia was induced with fentanyl 2-3 microg kg(-1) and propofol 3-4 mg kg(-1) titrated to effect, and maintained by continuous i.v. infusion of propofol 8-12 mg kg(-1) and remifentanil as required. The lungs were ventilated with oxygen in air. Neuromuscular transmission was assessed by acceleromyography using train-of-four (TOF) stimulation every 15 s. After baseline readings, a single dose of mivacurium 0.2 mg kg(-1) was given. The following variables were recorded: (i) lag time; (ii) onset time; (iii) peak effect; (iv) recovery of first twitch from the TOF response to 10, 25 and 90% (T(10), T(25), T(90)) relative to baseline; (v) recovery index (time between 25 and 75% recovery of first twitch); and (vi) recovery time (time between 25% recovery of first twitch and recovery of TOF ratio to 90%). For comparison between the groups the Mann-Whitney U-test was applied. RESULTS There were no differences between the groups in lag time, onset time and peak effect. However, all recorded recovery indices were significantly (P<0.05) prolonged in the DMD group. The median (range) for time points T(10), T(25) and T(90) in the DMD and control group was 12.0 (8-16) vs 8.4 (5-15) min, 14.1 (9-20) vs 10.5 (7-17) min and 26.9 (15-40) vs 15.9 (12-23) min, respectively. The recovery index and recovery time were similarly prolonged in the DMD group. CONCLUSIONS These results support the assumption that mivacurium-induced neuromuscular block is prolonged in patients with DMD.

Abstract
Friedreich's ataxia is a rare hereditary neurodegenerative disease caused by a defect in the gene that encodes a mitochondrial protein called frataxin. We report the use of rocuronium 0.6 mg kg(-1) in two adolescent girls with Friedreich's ataxia undergoing propofol-sufentanil-oxygen-air anaesthesia for spinal surgery. Neuromuscular transmission was monitored using acceleromyography, and onset and recovery times were recorded. The clinical duration of rocuronium was comparable to that of children without neuromuscular disease (25% recovery T(1)=44 and 24 min for patients 1 and 2 respectively).

Abstract
We describe the construction and characterization of a series of novel cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors with increased antiproliferative activity for use in the genetic treatment of hyperproliferative cell disorders, such as angioplasty-induced restenosis. These inhibitors were generated through the fusion of truncated versions of the p27 gene to the full-length p16 gene. Biochemically, the p27-p16 chimeric molecules were of comparable potency to the parental p27 in inhibiting the activities of several cyclin-dependent kinases in vitro. Replication-deficient adenoviruses encoding the parental p16, p27 genes, or their derivatives were created to assess the potency of the novel cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor chimeric molecules to inhibit vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, which is the seminal event in the restenosis process. One of the p27-p16 chimeric molecules, W9, was observed to be the most potent inhibitor of human primary smooth muscle and endothelial cell proliferation when compared to the p16, p27, p27 derivatives or several alternative p27-p16 chimeric molecules. Overexpression of the W9 chimeric molecule in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells induced human coronary artery smooth muscle cell growth arrest in G1 but did not induce cell apoptosis. Recombinant adenoviral vectors that express this W9 chimeric cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor molecule constitute a novel potent antiproliferative agent for the treatment of restenosis.

Abstract
Fractal analysis of the cross-sectional morphology of rat skin was conducted to evaluate pathologic changes evoked by percutaneous absorption enhancers. Male hairless rats (WBN/Ht-ILA), 8 weeks old, weighing 160 to 180 g were used. Under anesthetization, glass cells (10-mm inner diameter) were attached to the rats' abdomens, and test solutions containing various mixtures of the percutaneous absorption enhancers, sodium lauryl sulfate, isopropanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, and sodium myristate were applied. Six hours after application, the solutions were removed and the abdominal skin was excised. Skin cross sections were analyzed with a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. Image data taken by the CCD camera were fed into a desktop digital computer; then the fractal dimension of each skin cross section was determined on the basis of the box-counting algorithm. A pathologic study was also performed on the skin treated with the test solution. All sections of skin were examined with an optical photo microscope. Pathologic findings were classified into five levels. The total irritation score (TIS) was defined as the summation of damage levels in all regions. Only with the administration of hydrogel containing 2-methyl-1-butanol or sodium lauryl sulfate were positive values of TIS observed. However, the TIS values were independent of the concentration of these components. The most severe skin damage was evoked by application of sodium lauryl sulfate. Noticeable skin damage was also seen with 2-methyl-1-butanol. No irritation to the skin resulted from treatment with isopropanol or sodium myristate. When test solution containing sodium lauryl sulfate was applied to the skin, a remarkable increment in fractal dimensions was noted. This may suggest that the structure of the skin was greatly compromised as a result of sodium lauryl sulfate application. Although no change in fractal dimension was observed as a result of application of the test solution containing only 25% isopropanol, the fractal dimension of skin cross section gradually increased with increasing concentrations of isopropanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol or sodium myristate in the test solutions. The increment of fractal dimension was around 0.4. Thus, the skin structure was also altered by the application of high concentrations of these compounds. Although the relevance to humans is not known, fractal analysis of skin structure is thought to be useful as a novel method for detecting skin damage that is brought about by the application of percutaneous absorption enhancers.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Allogeneic blood requirements in cardiac surgery shows a wide variation even for comparable procedures. The aim of the present study was to compare the intraoperative allogeneic blood requirement in defined cardiac operations among 12 cardiac centers in Germany. METHOD A data set with 25 variables concerning the intraoperative course in adult cardiac patients with myocardial revascularization, valve replacement (aortic or/and mitral valve) or combined procedures was distributed to the participating centers. The data of all patients between January 1th 1998 and June 30th 1998 were included. Besides demographic data, the intraoperative transfusion of allogeneic and autologous blood, fresh frozen plasma and the concomitant hematocrit values were registered. Data were analyzed for all centers and separated for each center. RESULTS The data of 7,729 patients were analyzed. The intraoperative allogeneic blood requirement was 0.6 +/- 1.3 units for all patients. It varied among the centers from 0.25 +/- 0.6 units to 0.97 +/- 1.6 units (P < 0.05). The percentage of patients receiving allogeneic blood was 27% and differed among the centers from 17% to 35%. Female patients were transfused in 53% (36-39%) compared to male patients with 16% (9-20%) (P < 0.05). The rate of autologous blood predonation varied from 0.5% to 23%. Patients without autologous predonation were transfused in 28% compared to 4% in patients with predonation (P < 0.05). In patients with autologous predonation the intraoperative transfusion of allogeneic blood was significantly reduced (0.1 +/- 0.39 vs 0.6 +/- 1.4 units, P < 0.05). However, some centers with a high percentage of autologous predonation also demonstrated a high rate of perioperative allogeneic transfusion. CONCLUSION The incidence of allogeneic blood transfusion in cardiac surgery depends on the institution and not on the surgical procedure. A common threshold value of hemoglobin for the transfusion of blood trigger even for comparable procedures could not be detected among the centers. Especially in female patients, there was a wide variation in allogeneic blood transfusion. Autologous blood predonation reduces blood requirement significantly, however, it is practiced with variing intensity. The data set did not include information about transfusion regimen in the postoperative period, thus, these data do not allow to draw conclusions for the whole perioperative period.

Abstract
The biochemical interactions between the Cdk2/Cyclin E kinase and its inhibitor p27, were investigated using purified, recombinant p27 and CAK-phosphorylated Cdk2/Cyclin E. From kcat/Km determinations using either histone H1 or pRb as substrates, we found that Cdk2/Cyclin E has 60-fold higher specificity for pRb than for histone H1. The IC50 value of p27 increased with increasing Cdk2/Cyclin E concentrations while it remained constant at various ATP and histone H1 concentrations, suggesting that p27 acts as a tight binding inhibitor of Cdk2/Cyclin E. We also found that p27 could be phosphorylated by Cdk2/Cyclin E only at high enzyme concentrations, and that p27 forms a stable interaction with Cdk2/Cyclin E regardless of its phosphorylation state. Our results further indicate that the Cdk2/Cyclin E/p27 ternary complex is kinetically inactive as an enzyme; instead it serves as a substrate for Cdk2/Cyclin E. These results suggest that if phosphorylation of p27 by Cdk2/Cyclin E is involved in its ubiquitin-dependent degradation, as previously suggested, then the target for such event is the phosphorylated p27 bound to Cdk2/Cyclin E and not free p27.

Abstract
The crystal structure of the cyclin D-dependent kinase Cdk6 bound to the p19 INK4d protein has been determined at 1.9 A resolution. The results provide the first structural information for a cyclin D-dependent protein kinase and show how the INK4 family of CDK inhibitors bind. The structure indicates that the conformational changes induced by p19INK4d inhibit both productive binding of ATP and the cyclin-induced rearrangement of the kinase from an inactive to an active conformation. The structure also shows how binding of an INK4 inhibitor would prevent binding of p27Kip1, resulting in its redistribution to other CDKs. Identification of the critical residues involved in the interaction explains how mutations in Cdk4 and p16INK4a result in loss of kinase inhibition and cancer.

Abstract
We have used an antibody against the functional homolog of the cdc2 kinase of maize to localize the p34cdc2 protein within dividing cells of the root apex and the stomatal complex of leaf epidermis. The microtubule cytoskeletal structure of plant cells was visualized concomitantly with a monoclonal antibody specific for [alpha]-tubulin. We found that the cdc2 protein is localized mainly to the nucleus in plant cells at interphase and early prophase. This finding contrasts markedly with the predominantly cytoplasmic staining obtained using antibody to the PSTAIRE motif, which is common to cdc2 and numerous cdc2-like proteins. In a subpopulation of root cells at early prophase, the p34cdc2 protein is also distributed in a band bisecting the nucleus. Double labeling with the maize p34cdc2Zm antibody and tubulin antibody revealed that this band colocalizes with the preprophase band (PPB) of microtubules, which predicts the future division site. Root cells in which microtubules had been disrupted with oryzalin did not contain this band of p34cdc2 protein, suggesting that formation of the microtubule PPB is necessary for localization of the p34cdc2 kinase to the plane of the PPB. The p34cdc2 protein is also localized to the nucleus and PPB in cells that give rise to the stomatal complex, including those cells preparing for the highly asymmetrical divisions that produce subsidiary cells. Association of the p34cdc2 protein with the PPB suggests that the cdc2 kinase has a role in establishing the division site of plant cells and, therefore, a role in plant morphogenesis.
