Insights into the Action Mechanisms of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease characterized by articular cartilage destruction, synovial inflammation, and osteophyte formation. No effective treatments are available. The current pharmacological medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and analgesics, accompanied by possible adverse effects, might ameliorate OA symptoms. But they do not arrest the progression of OA. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) provides medical value by modification of disease and symptoms in OA. Valuable work on exploring TCM merits for OA patients has been investigated using modern technologies, although the complicated interacting network among the numerous components indicates the uncertainty of target specification. This review will provide an overview of the action mechanism of TCM in the last 5 years, discussing the TCM activities of anti-inflammation, antiapoptosis, antioxidation, anticatabolism, and proliferation in OA. TCM is a proposed medical option for OA treatment.
Responding to subliminal cues: Do if-then plans facilitate action preparation and initiation without conscious intent?

Forming implementation intentions (“If I encounter cue X, then I will perform behavior Y! ”) is postulated to trigger action initiation without further conscious intent once the specified cue is encountered (Gollwitzer, 1999). In two experiments using an injustice paradigm or a categorization task, critical situations (specified in the if-component) were subliminally presented and it was tested whether these situations influenced the preparation (Study 1) and initiation (Study 2) of the planned goal-directed behavior (specified in the then-component). After the subliminal presentation of the critical situations, implementation intention participants showed stronger action preparation and a faster action initiation, as compared to control participants (Study 1) who had not formed any goal intention at all, and compared to participants (Studies 1 and 2) who had only formed goal intentions. These findings suggest that forming implementation intentions leads to automatic action initiation without further consc.
The Ten Commandments

And the Lord spoke all these words, saying: I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. I. Thou shalt have no other gods beside me. II. Thou shalt not make to thyself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the waters under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord thy God, a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children, to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me, and bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands of them, and on them that keep my commandments. III. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord thy God will not acquit him that takes his name in vain. IV. Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days thou shalt labour, and shalt perform all thy work. But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God; on it thou shalt do no work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy servant nor thy maidservant, thine ox nor thine ass, nor any cattle of thine, nor the stranger that sojourns with thee. For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it. V. Honour thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long on the good land, which the Lord thy God gives to thee. VI. Thou shalt not commit adultery. VII. Thou shalt not steal. VIII. Thou shalt not kill. IX. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. X. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house; nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor whatever belongs to thy neighbour.
YMCA youth fitness test manual

YMCA Youth Fitness Test Manual has been developed to evaluate the physical condition of children and youths from ages 6-17. YMCA Youth Fitness Test Manual includes five tests that evaluate important components of good health - cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength and endurance, relative leanness, flexibility, and healthy low-back function. Youths are evaluated on an objective scale which indicates whether their level of fitness is "good", "borderline", or "needs work. " The manual offers suggestions for setting goals with children to maintain or improve their fitness level.

The Influence of Observed Alcohol Consumption on Perceptions of Initiation of Sexual Activity in a College Dating Situation

Corcoran and Bell (1990) found differences between men and women's expectancies for the likelihood of sexual intercourse on a first date depending on how much the other had to drink. The present study examined the subjects' perceptions of likelihood of male and female initiation of sexual intercourse in a story in which the drinking of male or female characters was varied. Subjects read a story of a first date in which one character. either the male or female, consumed a couple of cocktails. The other character either “also had a couple of cocktails. ”“drank soft drinks,” or “became slightly intoxicated. ” A manipulation check showed that the subjects were responding to story variables in their ratings of characters intoxication. Men were perceived to be more likely than women to initiate intercourse across all drinking conditions, although results indicate that all subjects believed that sexual activity was more likely to be initiated when story characters consumed alcohol rather than soft drinks. These results further demonstrated that this expectancy for initiation of sex appears to be triggered by the presence of alcohol and did not significantly increase for a higher dose of alcohol. More research is necessary to clarify the role of alcohol in sexuality among adolescents and young adults.
SEARCHing for an Answer: The Critical Role of New Literacies While Reading on the Internet

It is increasingly clear that the Internet will be the defining technology for reading, writing, and communication in the 21st century. But without the ability to locate information in an efficient and effective manner, students' access to information on the Internet is limited. This article introduces SEARCH, a strategy classroom teachers can use to assist students in becoming better searchers. SEARCH includes setting a purpose, employing effective search strategies, analyzing search engine results, reading critically and synthesizing information, citing sources, and a reflective component in which students ask “How successful was the search? ” in order to review the success of the techniques implemented. Additional resources that provide practice in searching for information on the Internet are also presented.
COMPUTATIONAL TOPOLOGY FOR REGULAR CLOSED SETS (WITHIN THE I-TANGO PROJECT)

The Boolean algebra of regular closed sets is prominent in topol- ogy, particularly as a dual for the Stone- Cech compactication. This algebra is also central for the theory of geometric computation, as a representation for combinatorial operations on geometric sets. However, the issue of com- putational approximation introduces unresolved subtleties that do not occur within \pure" topology. One major eort towards reconciling this mathe- matical theory with computational practice is our ongoing I-TANGO project. The acronym I-TANGO is an abbreviation for \Intersections|Topology, Ac- curacy and Numerics for Geometric Objects". The long-range goals and initial progress of the I-TANGO team in development of computational topology are presented.

Maternal repair initiation at MLU Stage I: The developmental power of ‘hm?’

This study documents one typically developing child’s experience of, and response to, neutral repair initiation by the mother (e.g., hm? ) during playtime conversation over a 2-month period spanning MLU Stage I. Weekly video recordings were analysed using the method of conversation analysis to examine turns and turn sequences in detail. Distinct results separated Early from Late MLU Stage I data. Overall, the child’s trouble-source turns were sequence-initiating and linked to topic movement. Repair response turns were relevant for early grammatical development in ways governed by the local sequential context of conversation. The findings are compared to other types of maternal repair initiation in the same data corpus.
NADPH Thioredoxin Reductase C Is Localized in Plastids of Photosynthetic and Nonphotosynthetic Tissues and Is Involved in Lateral Root Formation in Arabidopsis[W]

NTRC functions in maintaining redox homeostasis of chloroplasts and heterotrophic plastids of Arabidopsis. Leaf-specific expression of NTRC was sufficient to restore leaf and root growth, but root-specific expression of NTRC was not. The results emphasize the function of chloroplasts not only as source of carbon and energy but also of signaling molecules for development of heterotrophic organs. Plastids are organelles present in photosynthetic and nonphotosynthetic plant tissues. While it is well known that thioredoxin-dependent redox regulation is essential for leaf chloroplast function, little is known of the redox regulation in plastids of nonphotosynthetic tissues, which cannot use light as a direct source of reducing power. Thus, the question remains whether redox regulation operates in nonphotosynthetic plastid function and how it is integrated with chloroplasts for plant growth. Here, we show that NADPH-thioredoxin reductase C (NTRC), previously reported as exclusive to green tissues, is also expressed in nonphotosynthetic tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana, where it is localized to plastids. Moreover, we show that NTRC is involved in maintaining the redox homeostasis of plastids also in nonphotosynthetic organs. To test the relationship between plastids of photosynthetic and nonphotosynthetic tissues, transgenic plants were obtained with redox homeostasis restituted exclusively in leaves or in roots, through the expression of NTRC under the control of organ-specific promoters in the ntrc mutant. Our results show that fully functional root amyloplasts are not sufficient for root, or leaf, growth, but fully functional chloroplasts are necessary and sufficient to support wild-type rates of root growth and lateral root formation.

Analysis of the factors conditioning the diffusion of peritoneal dialysis in Italy.

BACKGROUND The diffusion of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in Italy is lower than expected on the basis of indications and contraindications reported in literature. METHODS To analyse the factors influencing the use of PD in Italy, we used data from the first National Census of the Italian Society of Nephrology relating to 9773 incident patients (Incid(HD + PD)) in 2004 and 43 293 prevalent patients dialysed in 658 centres at 31/12/2004 (337 public centres, 286 private centres, 12 paediatric centres, 15 research or religious institutions and 8 unspecified). RESULTS The percentages on PD of total incident (Inc(PD)%) and prevalent dialysis patients (Prev(PD)%) were 15.9% and 10.3%, respectively with considerable variations from region to region and from centre to centre. The Inc(PD)% was higher in regions with fewer patients on dialysis in private centres. In the private centres, the Inc(PD)% was 0.4%. Of the 325 non-paediatric public centres, 116 (35.7%) do not use PD: compared with the 209 centres which do, these centres have a lower mean Inc(HD + PD) and Prev(HD + PD) per centre (13.0 +/- 12.3 vs 28.6 +/- 18.0 - 51.8 +/- 35.7 vs 117.3 +/- 66.4 patients, P < 0.0001), and more haemodialysis (HD) stations available (3.0 vs 3.5 patients per HD station, P < 0.0001). However, the significant influence of cultural and motivational factors on the use of this method is demonstrated by the fact that it is used by 34% of the smaller non-paediatric public centres, and is not used by 19% of the larger non-pediatric public centres.
Signal production and detection specificity in Vibrio CqsA/CqsS quorum-sensing systems

Quorum sensing is a process of bacterial cell–cell communication that enables populations of cells to carry out behaviours in unison. Quorum sensing involves detection of the density‐dependent accumulation of extracellular signal molecules called autoinducers that elicit population‐wide changes in gene expression. In Vibrio species, CqsS is a membrane‐bound histidine kinase that acts as the receptor for the CAI‐1 autoinducer which is produced by the CqsA synthase. In Vibrio cholerae, CAI‐1 is (S)‐3‐hydroxytridecan‐4‐one. The C170 residue of V. cholerae CqsS specifies a preference for a ligand with a 10‐carbon tail length. However, a phenylalanine is present at this position in Vibrio harveyi CqsS and other homologues, suggesting that a shorter CAI‐1‐like molecule functions as the signal. To investigate this, we purified the V. harveyi CqsS ligand, and determined that it is (Z)‐3‐aminoundec‐2‐en‐4‐one (Ea‐C8‐CAI‐1) carrying an 8‐carbon tail. The V. harveyi CqsA/CqsS system is exquisitely selective for production and detection of this ligand, while the V. cholerae CqsA/CqsS counterparts show relaxed specificity in both production and detection. We isolated CqsS mutants in each species that display reversed specificity for ligands. Our analysis provides insight into how fidelity is maintained in signal transduction systems.
Comer para vivir ¿mejor? Análisis de las representaciones sociales sobre la alimentación y su vinculación con la salud/enfermedad en la prensa gráfica argentina (2009-2014)

The aim of this article is that of describing the results obtained in the research entitled “Eating to live (better? ). Analysis of social representations concerning eating habits and their relationship with health/sickness appearing in recent Argentinean media speeches (2009-2014)”. The objective consisted of identifying and analyzing the social representations related to eating habits, food, and their connection with health/sickness processes in the ever-growing current context of food industrialization and medicalization. As regards the method implemented, a qualitative approach was used with an exploratory-descriptive design, based on the recollection of news from the written media published nationwide. Some of the results obtained indicate that both eating habits and food were placed within a medical-nutritional speech framework which focuses on the biological dimension of eating habits and on the classification of food, both as healthy or unhealthy, depending on the quantity of nutrients, leaving out the complexity of eating habits within the present epidemiological context.
