INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study is to compare a modified inside-out transobturator procedure with its original counterpart [inside-out transobturator (TVT-O)] for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). METHODS: A prospective, randomized trial in women suffering from SUI was used. The modified procedure consisted of a shorter tape whilst the scissors or guide no longer perforated the obturator membrane. The primary outcome was the resolution of subjective and objective SUI at 1 year. Secondary outcome measures included adverse events, quality of life measures, and groin pain. RESULTS: One hundred seventy-five patients were randomized. No intraoperative complications were recorded. The SUI cure rate was 91.7% versus 90.7% (original versus modified, respectively; p = 0.824). Incidence and intensity of groin pain was higher in the original TVT-O group on day 0 and 1 (p < 0.05), requiring more analgesics (p = 0.015) but not thereafter. CONCLUSIONS: At 1 year follow-up, the modified inside-out transobturator tape procedure was as efficient and safe as the original technique but associated with less immediate postoperative groin pain.

We report results of a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) campaign with the Advanced Camera for Surveys to observe Europa at eastern elongation, i.e., Europa's leading side, on 2008 June 29. With five consecutive HST orbits, we constrain Europa's atmospheric O I 1304 Å and O I 1356 Å emissions using the prism PR130L. The total emissions of both oxygen multiplets range between 132 ± 14 and 226 ± 14 Rayleigh. An additional systematic error with values on the same order as the statistical errors may be due to uncertainties in modeling the reflected light from Europa's surface. The total emission also shows a clear dependence of Europa's position with respect to Jupiter's magnetospheric plasma sheet. We derive a lower limit for the O[SUB]2[/SUB] column density of 6 × 10[SUP]18[/SUP] m[SUP]-2[/SUP]. Previous observations of Europa's atmosphere with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph in 1999 of Europa's trailing side show an enigmatic surplus of radiation on the anti-Jovian side within the disk of Europa. With emission from a radially symmetric atmosphere as a reference, we searched for an anti-Jovian versus sub-Jovian asymmetry with respect to the central meridian on the leading side and found none. Likewise, we searched for departures from a radially symmetric atmospheric emission and found an emission surplus centered around 90° west longitude, for which plausible mechanisms exist. Previous work about the possibility of plumes on Europa due to tidally driven shear heating found longitudes with strongest local strain rates which might be consistent with the longitudes of maximum UV emissions. Alternatively, asymmetries in Europa's UV emission can also be caused by inhomogeneous surface properties, an optically thick atmospheric contribution of atomic oxygen, and/or by Europa's complex plasma interaction with Jupiter's magnetosphere.

Environmental and agronomic issues require always more well thought and suited farmer management of agricultural inputs; soil analysis is therefore an essential tool to support decision. However, for a soil analysis to provide valuable information, it is essential for the sample to be representative of the studied field. Without this representativeness, an analytical result, as accurate as it could be, would not be of interest if it could mislead the farmer. In practice, the main difficulty for the sampler is the recognition of soil criteria which are essential to provide a fertility advice, especially in Wallonia (Belgium) where soil variability is very important. With the Digital Soil Map of Wallonia (DSMW), drowned at the scale 1/5,000, it seems appropriate to give these information to the samplers in an useful form for routine works. That is why a mapping tool for decision support, named REQUACARTO, was designed to be used for soil analysis by provincial laboratories, members of the REQUASUD laboratories network. This tool responds to a real requirement in Wallonia: achieving a quality sampling for the development of personalized soil fertility advice. [less ▲]

Las distintas contribuciones constituyen sendas revisiones de las actitudes y resonancias que la rebelión del EZLN ha suscitado entre científicos, intelectuales y escritores, en México, pero también en otras partes del mundo, desde sus orígenes en 1994 hasta 2006. En la primera parte las contribuciones exploran las resonancias en el ámbito de las ciencias sociales y naturales, luego se pasa a revisar posiciones de intelectuales y finalmente se examina cómo la rebelión zapatista se ha convertido en un tema literario que inspiró a dos escritores españoles y a tres importantes escritores mexicanos. En calidad de cofundador de la Unión de Científicos Comprometidos con la Sociedad (UCCS), Iván Azuara Monter analiza cómo el fenómeno zapatista incidió y resonó sobre todo entre los practicantes de las llamadas ciencias duras y la investigación regional, un tema que ha sido muy poco trabajado hasta hoy. En cambio, Óscar García Agustín y Bernard Duterme se centran en las interpretaciones de la rebelión zapatista que hicieron científicos sociales y políticos de diferentes tendencias y pertenecientes a distintas escuelas. García Agustín toma como hilo conductor las manifestaciones en torno a la conceptualización por parte de algunos académicos de izquierda que se pronunciaron sobre el EZLN, entre ellos John Holloway, Raúl Zibechi, Antonio Negri y Atilio Boron. Duterme también se propone entender lo que distingue y acerca las diversas aproximaciones sociológicas al EZLN pero percibe sobre todo divergencias entre el enfoque marxista por un lado y la perspectiva representada por el sociólogo Alain Touraine por el otro. Por su parte, Anne Huffschmid y Juan Pellicer estudian la interacción entre el nuevo zapatismo y determinados intelectuales quienes, en el sentido de mediadores culturales o comentaristas políticos, han publicado sus opiniones en torno al EZLN. Huffschmid, después de recapitular algunos factores que integran una particular semiótica de la resistencia y que han resonado en distintas escenas de recepción, recrea algunas de las posturas centrales de intelectuales simpatizantes, y también adversarios, en relación con el nuevo zapatismo. Asimismo se ocupa del actual desencantamiento del EZLN con buena parte de la opinión pública, y que explica por quiebres comunicativos y por un giro sectario del grupo armado que parece traicionar a su propio imaginario político. El texto de Juan Pellicer se concentra en las respuestas dadas por Octavio Paz, en cuyo discurso descubre una evolución notable en cuanto a la visión del indígena al que presenta como piedra de toque de la nación en El laberinto de la soledad y al que percibe como un estorbo a la modernización de México en los textos sobre el EZLN. La contribución de Kristine Vanden Berghe vuelve brevemente sobre la postura de Octavio Paz pero lo hace en el marco de un análisis del ensayo de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, Marcos : El señor de los espejos. El discurso del escritor catalán, por su parte, es abordado en función de su relación intertextual con la novela Turistas del ideal de Ignacio Vidal-Folch, una sátira de los intelectuales que apoyan al EZLN. La imagen tradicional del intelectual paratópico que se identifica con cuantos escapen de las líneas de demarcación dentro de la sociedad, como es el caso de los indígenas, es desplazada en esta sátira a favor de un intelectual hipócrita e inconsciente de sus propias contradicciones. Entre los –relativamente pocos- poetas y escritores que se han referido al EZLN en su creación literaria, también encontramos a tres autores importantes de Chiapas que, directamente interpelados por el movimiento armado, escribieron sobre él. Jan De Vos estudia estos textos que son, respectivamente, de la pluma del cuentista Eraclio Zepeda y de los poetas Juan Bañuelos y Efraín Bartolomé. En la reflexión que nos propone, De Vos suscita la emoción que la lectura del trío chiapaneco le produce y la combina con la mirada crítica que le impone su disciplina de científico social. Procura interrogar a estos autores que admira sobre los motivos y la manera en que se dejaron interpelar por el movimiento rebelde que en 1994 estalló en las montañas y selvas de su tierra natal.

TiO2 heterogeneous photocatalysis has been the subject of numerous recent investigations as it is an attractive technique for the complete destruction of undesirable contaminants both in aqueous and gaseous phase by using solar or artificial light illumination. However, TiO2-based materials present a large band gap and therefore only a small fraction of solar light, in the UV region, can be utilized. Furthermore, anatase-TiO2 transforms to the rutile structure at temperatures relatively lower, which greatly reduces surface areas of the particles resulting in the decrease in photocatalytic ability of TiO2. To counter both disadvantages, several studies have been conducted by doping non-metallic elements, such as phosphor, into the Ti-O framework to form TiO2 solutions. In the present study, a sol-gel method is developed to synthesize P-doped TiO2 xerogels by a cogelation method based on the hydrolysis and the condensation of Ti(OC3H7)4 with functionalized P alkoxides: NH2-(CH2)2-NH-(CH2)2-P(O)-(OC2H5)2, or (C2H5O)2-P(O)-(CH2)7-CH3, in various alcohols. These xerogels are dried at 150°C under vacuum for 24 h, and calcined under air for 6 h at 350°C, 450°C, 550°C and 650°C. The resulting materials were characterized by TG-ATD, TEM, XRD, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, FT-IR and diffuse reflectance measurements in the UV/Vis region. It was found that the phosphor-doped species could significantly increase the surface area of the materials. Moreover, the phosphor-doping improved the thermal stability of titania and decreased the phase transformation of anatase to rutile. Diffuse reflectance measurements proved that the modification by phosphor shifted the absorption edge of titania to the visible region, making it an effective photocatalyst in visible light. This is shown by the degradation of p-nitrophenol under visible light irradiation. The excellent photocatalytic activity of P-doped TiO2 xerogels compared to pure TiO2 could be explained by its high surface area and small crystallite size. [less ▲]

The Actinomadura R39 dd-peptidase catalyzes the hydrolysis and aminolysis of a number of small peptides and depsipeptides. Details of its substrate specificity and the nature of its in vivo substrate are not, however, well understood. This paper describes the interactions of the R39 enzyme with two peptidoglycan-mimetic substrates 3-(d-cysteinyl)propanoyl-d-alanyl-d-alanine and 3-(d-cysteinyl)propanoyl-d-alanyl-d-thiolactate. A detailed study of the reactions of the former substrate, catalyzed by the enzyme, showed dd-carboxypeptidase, dd-transpeptidase, and dd-endopeptidase activities. These results confirm the specificity of the enzyme for a free d-amino acid at the N-terminus of good substrates and indicated a preference for extended d-amino acid leaving groups. The latter was supported by determination of the structural specificity of amine nucleophiles for the acyl-enzyme generated by reaction of the enzyme with the thiolactate substrate. It was concluded that a specific substrate for this enzyme, and possibly the in vivo substrate, may consist of a partly cross-linked peptidoglycan polymer where a free side chain N-terminal un-cross-linked amino acid serves as the specific acyl group in an endopeptidase reaction. The enzyme is most likely a dd-endopeptidase in vivo. pH−rate profiles for reactions of the enzyme with peptides, the thiolactate named above, and β-lactams indicated the presence of complex proton dissociation pathways with sticky substrates and/or protons. The local structure of the active site may differ significantly for reactions of peptides and β-lactams. Solvent kinetic deuterium isotope effects indicate the presence of classical general acid/base catalysis in both acylation and deacylation; there is no evidence of the low fractionation factor active site hydrogen found previously in class A and C β-lactamases.
