Karakteristik Aus Mata Pisau Terlapisi Bahan Pengeras pada Pemotongan Kayu Mersawa dan Papan Partikel
The use of mersawa wood and particleboard as a materials has been increasing for building constructions and decorative purpose. In previous study reported that, these materials provide a high rate of wear caused by abrasion (high silica) and resin content. This article presents the characteristics of wear on the clearance face of newly multilayer-coated K10 cutting tools when milling mersawa wood and particleboard. The K10 cutting tools were coated with monolayer titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN), multilayer TiAlN/titanium silicon nitride (TiSiN), and TiAlN/titanium boron nitride (TiBN). Mersawa wood with density of 0.80 g/cm3 and particleboard with a density of 0.61 g/cm3 were cut using the coated tools and uncoated K10. Cutting tests were performed on computer numeric control router at a high cutting speed of 17 m/s and a feed rate of 0.1 mm/rev to investigate the wear characteristics on the clearance face of these coated tools. Result of research shown that the coated tools experienced a smaller amount of wear than the uncoated tool when cutting the mersawa and particleboard. The best coating among other coated in this study was multilayer TiAlN/TiBN. The high hardness, low coefficient of friction, high resistance to oxidation, and high resistance to delamination wear of the multilayer-coated TiAlN/TiBN tool indicate a very promising applicability of this coating for high-speed cutting of abrasive woods and wood based materials

Biological, clinical and population relevance of 95 loci for blood lipids.
Plasma concentrations of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides are among the most important risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) and are targets for therapeutic intervention. We screened the genome for common variants associated with plasma lipids in >100,000 individuals of European ancestry. Here we report 95 significantly associated loci (P < 5 x 10(-8)), with 59 showing genome-wide significant association with lipid traits for the first time. The newly reported associations include single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near known lipid regulators (for example, CYP7A1, NPC1L1 and SCARB1) as well as in scores of loci not previously implicated in lipoprotein metabolism. The 95 loci contribute not only to normal variation in lipid traits but also to extreme lipid phenotypes and have an impact on lipid traits in three non-European populations (East Asians, South Asians and African Americans). Our results identify several novel loci associated with plasma lipids that are also associated with CAD. Finally, we validated three of the novel genes-GALNT2, PPP1R3B and TTC39B-with experiments in mouse models. Taken together, our findings provide the foundation to develop a broader biological understanding of lipoprotein metabolism and to identify new therapeutic opportunities for the prevention of CAD
Biological, clinical and population relevance of 95 loci for blood lipids
Serum concentrations of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides (TG) are among the most important risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) and are targets for therapeutic intervention. We screened the genome for common variants associated with serum lipids in >100,000 individuals of European ancestry. Here we report 95 significantly associated loci (P < 5 × 10-8), with 59 showing genome-wide significant association with lipid traits for the first time.

Reducing the Clinical and Public Health Burden of Familial Hypercholesterolemia A Global Call to Action
Q1Q1Artículo completoE1-E13IMPORTANCE Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an underdiagnosed and undertreated
genetic disorder that leads to premature morbidity and mortality due to atherosclerotic
cardiovascular disease. Familial hypercholesterolemia affects 1 in 200 to 250 people around
the world of every race and ethnicity. The lack of general awareness of FH among the public
and medical community has resulted in only 10% of the FH population being diagnosed and
adequately treated. The World Health Organization recognized FH as a public health priority
in 1998 during a consultation meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. The World Health Organization
report highlighted 11 recommendations to address FH worldwide, from diagnosis and
treatment to family screening and education. Research since the 1998 report has increased
understanding and awareness of FH, particularly in specialty areas, such as cardiology and
lipidology. However, in the past 20 years, there has been little progress in implementing the
11 recommendations to prevent premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in an entire
generation of families with FH.
OBSERVATIONS In 2018, the Familial Hypercholesterolemia Foundation and the World Heart
Federation convened the international FH community to update the 11 recommendations.
Two meetings were held: one at the 2018 FH Foundation Global Summit and the other during
the 2018 World Congress of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Health. Each meeting served as
a platform for the FH community to examine the original recommendations, assess the gaps,
and provide commentary on the revised recommendations. The Global Call to Action on
Familial Hypercholesterolemia thus represents individuals with FH, advocacy leaders,
scientific experts, policy makers, and the original authors of the 1998 World Health
Organization report. Attendees from 40 countries brought perspectives on FH from low-,
middle-, and high-income regions. Tables listing country-specific government support for
FH care, existing country-specific and international FH scientific statements and guidelines,
country-specific and international FH registries, and known FH advocacy organizations
around the world were created.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE By adopting the 9 updated public policy recommendations
created for this document, covering awareness; advocacy; screening, testing, and diagnosis;
treatment; family-based care; registries; research; and cost and value, individual countries
have the opportunity to prevent atherosclerotic heart disease in their citizens carrying a gene
associated with FH and, likely, all those with severe hypercholesterolemia as well
