Histomorphological study of the Miebomian glands in local Iraqi breed goats (Coprus hircus)
Authors: Al-Rikabi Ahmed Sh. J.
Published: May 2021

The study was designed to investigate the histomorphology of Miebomian gland in local Iraqi breed goats (coprus hircus).The research work included specimens of upper and lower eyelids of the eyes of 10 head of local breed black Iraqi goats aged 10-14 months (5 male and 5 female) and the routine histological technique was done from fixation till staining of histological sections. The study revealed that the Miebomian glands present in the sub palpebral conjnctiva arranged in parallel position along the upper and lower eyelids of the eye each gland opened besides the hair follicle (cilia) and its secretion are oily (lipid) called miebum. This material very important to spreading the tear on the cornea to prevent evaporation and reaching the nutrients and oxygen to the cornea of the eye. In conclusion this study revealed the importance of the miebomian gland in the healthy status of the eye, in local Iraqi goats.

Published: May 2021

أجريت الدراسة في مختبر امراض الأسماك/كلية الطب البيطري جامعة بغداد للمدة بين 1/3 ولغاية 1/6/2103 لمعرفة مدى تاثير سمية مبيد كلايفوسيت اكوا في عدد كريات الدم الحمر وخلايا الدم البيض وتركيز الهيموغلوبين ونسبة عدد الخلايا المرصوصة، فضلا عن تحديد عدد الأنوية الصغيرة في كريات الدم الحمر في الأسماك التجريبية في سمك البني Barbus sharpeyi ، تراوحت  أوزانها بين 10-15غم، قيست الجرعة النصف قاتلة LC50، كما استعملت أسماك اخرى لمعرفة التأثيرات شبه الحادة  والمزمنة للمبيد. وزعت عشوائيا بعدد10  أسماك لكل حوض زجاجي. قسمت إلى أربع معاملات فضلا عن مجموعة السيطرة (من دون اضافة مبيد) المعاملة الأولى كانت بتركيز0.415 ملغم/لتر طيلة مدة التعرض البالغة 90 يوما والمعاملة الثانية بتركيز0.415 ملغم/لتر لمدة 15 يوماً فقط، أما المعاملة الثالثة فقد أضيف اليها المبيد 0.207 ملغم/لتر طلية مدة التجربة والمعاملة الرابعة 0.207 ملغم/لتر لمدة15  يوما فقط. بينت نتائج فحص الصورة الدمية وعدد النوى الصغيرة لأسماك التجربة وجود فروقات معنوية P<0.05)) في المعاملة الأولى والثالثة مقارنة بمجموعة السيطرة، اذ اظهرت المعاملة الأولى انخفاضا معنويا واضحا في عدد كريات الدم الحمر ونسبة الهيموغلوبين والنسبة المئوية لحجم خلايا الدم المرصوصة فضلا عن ارتفاع حاد في عدد خلايا الدم البيض مقارنة بباقي المعاملات ومجموعة السيطرة، كذلك وجود تحسن في الحالة الصحية للمعاملتين الثانية والرابعة. نستنتج من هذه الدراسة إنه كلما زاد تركيز مبيد كلايفوسيت اكوا فانه سيؤثر تأثيراً سلبياً في المعايير الدمية للأسماك، ويمكن ان تتحسن الحالة الصحية لسمكة البني عندما تتحسن الظروف البيئية للسمكة ويزول التعرض للمبيد.
The Role of Intent-Based Networking in ICT Supply Chains
Authors: Bensalem Mounir
Published: May 2021

The evolution towards Industry 4.0 is driving the need for innovative solutions in the area of network management, considering the complex, dynamic and heterogeneous nature of ICT supply chains. To this end, Intent-Based networking (IBN) which is already proven to evolve how network management is driven today, can be implemented as a solution to facilitate the management of large ICT supply chains. In this paper, we first present a comparison of the main architectural components of typical IBN systems and, then, we study the key engineering requirements when integrating IBN with ICT supply chain network systems while considering AI methods. We also propose a general architecture design that enables intent translation of ICT supply chain specifications into lower level policies, to finally show an example of how the access control is performed in a modeled ICT supply chain system.
HOW IMPORTAN IS THE CONTENT VALIDITY ON ENGLISH FINAL EXAMINATION
Authors: Fernando Lucas
Published: May 2021

The substance legitimacy is one of kinds of legitimacy that analyzes rightness of substance. Content legitimacy is regularly dictated by subject specialists who judge the degree to which a test evaluates fitting substance. Three sorts of approval which is significant in educating and learning measure, to be specific substance legitimacy, face legitimacy, and build legitimacy. From the three sorts of legitimacy, content legitimacy has the significant parts in deciphering the test as the device of assessment, with the goal that the educator can quantify understudies' capacity successfully. Content legitimacy is manage the substance of test thing that tried is reflected of the educational plan or not, content legitimacy requires te assessment of each test thing for its significance to the expected build. While Final Examination is one of tests directed in school and given to the understudies for passing evaluation to next level. Assessments assume a focal part in the instructive framework, assessment is a test to quantify the information on an individual or understudy. Tests are additionally made as an assessment apparatus to gauge how much information and abilities gained.

How might researchers of human cognition and development address these concerns in future research?
Preaching to Social Media: Turkey’s Friday Khutbas and Their Effects on Twitter
Authors: Aksoy Ozan
Published: May 2021

In this study I analyse through machine learning the content of all Friday khutbas (sermons) read to millions of citizens in thousands of Mosques of Turkey since 2015. I focus on six non-religious and recurrent topics that feature in the sermons, namely business, family, nationalism, health, trust, and patience. I demonstrate that the content of the sermons respond strongly to events of national importance. I then link the Friday sermons with ~4.8 million tweets on these topics to study whether and how the content of sermons affects social media behaviour. I find generally large effects of the sermons on tweets, but there is also heterogeneity by topic. It is strongest for nationalism, patience, and health and weakest for business. Overall, these results show that religious institutions in Turkey are influential in shaping the public’s social media content and that this influence is mainly prevalent on salient issues. More generally, these results show that mass offline religious activity can have strong effects on social media behavior.

Authors: Fransiska Felisia , Yakub Yakub
Published: May 2021

Technology has a big role in today's life, especially helping the business process activities within a company or organization, making the business process easier. For this reason the creation of a new student admission system and entrance examination in a high school, which affects the speed and accuracy of the final grades in the process. The method used is the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method, which has more precise and accurate advantages compared to other decision-making models, because its ability to conduct an assessment is based on the value of criteria and weighted preferences that have been determined. The design and analysis of new student admissions and entrance examination exams can help and overcome existing problems. New student admission and admission test programs have the advantage of being a computerized student registration, conducting computer-based entrance examination exams and can process data through the system thereby reducing the risk of errors in making reports.

¡Cómo desvanecen los Comentarios reales de «Carta canta» de Palma!
Authors: Ward Thomas
Published: May 2021

El autor peruano Ricardo Palma logró preeminencia como luminaria literaria sudamericana mediante sus placenteras y amenas Tradiciones peruanas que en su mayoría resucitan el mundo colonial. Para redactar su ficción histórica, Palma se inspira en las crónicas de Indias y la trama de su tradición «Carta canta» viene directamente de los Comentarios reales de Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. Sin embargo, desde la primera encarnación de la tradición de 1875 hasta la última, Palma oculta la verdadera fuente para el relato. Para la segunda versión, perfeccionada después de la Guerra del Pacífico, nuestra investigación filológica revela que Palma sigue modificando aun otros elementos de Garcilaso. Ofrecemos algunas conclusiones sobre por qué se empeñaba en esconder su deuda conGarcilaso y cómo sus motivaciones en estas actividades se relacionan con la colonialidad.

LA PESTE, ENTRE EL MEDITERRÁNEO Y EL PACÍFICO MOCHE
Authors: JACINTO PAZOS Pedro
Published: May 2021

El supuesto que tratamos de interpretar es que el mundo en la cual vivimos se rige por parámetros que la naturaleza determina y también condiciona. Si bien, la naturaleza, es la despensa de la supervivencia del ser humano, desde su flora y su fauna (y sus mares), éstas también pueden ser parte de su extinción. Y, las pestes o pandemias en el mundo, lo han demostrado. Todos los virus se han generado en los animales o las plantas que el hombre no ha logrado manejar y, al revés, los ha manipulado y ha destruido. La confianza del ser humano en la vida animal como parte de su conservación fisiológica, también se le puede revertir y lo puede exterminar. Más, cuando de estructuras económicas hegemónicas se trata y, donde el sentido de desigualdad y conflicto entre el hombre y la naturaleza y, entre los mismos hombres, siguen incólumes. Los comerciantes marinos hicieron su recorrido en los distintos mares y con ello el capital, el naufragio y las pestes. Se observa, un paralelo entre la peste negra que sucedió en Europa en el siglo catorce y, lo que se describe en el norte peruano mochica, a inicios y mediados del siglo veinte.

La investigación “Soluciones constructivas para proteger la vida e integridad física de la poblacion ante las heladas y friajes en, Puno- Año 2018”, desarrolló un tipo básico, con diseños no experimental y transversal.En su desarrollo, se halló una relación directa entre las variables, lo que permitió desarrollar un instrumento para valorar la aceptación del poblador ante las soluciones constructivas, normalmente diseñadas por el gobierno. Se halló que para lograr eficiencia y eficacia, en el tratamiento de las heladas y fríaje, paralelo al Progama Nacional, el Gobierno debería implementar Cartas de Control, para apreciar como soluciones el tratamiento de la dispersión de los esfuerzos de prevención. Con ello se permitirá alinear los factores condición constructiva y organización espacial, adecuando de esta manera las soluciones constructivas, con la organización espacial que debe tener el poblador de Puno, en las épocas de heladas y friajes.
An Anti-Imperial Mythology
Authors: Campbell Charles
Published: May 2021

Critics have read Howards End as if Forster ‘specifically barred’ the poor from the novel (Trilling), so that only the middle classes are considered and not in a ‘truly radical’ way (Crews). Yet Forster does, after all, concern himself with the very poor in his depiction of Leonard Bast, Jacky and other characters, and extensively in the thoughts of Margaret. Furthermore, he creates the myth he says England lacks, and, considered in relationship to the main narrative events and to the novel’s imagery, this takes the form of an anti-imperialist mythology. Mythic elements include epic journeys and battles, a symbolic sword and tree, a sacrificial death and a redemptive child. In the novel’s poetic passages and in its account of Margaret’s education on the ‘hard road of Henry’s soul’, the nature of England’s imperialism is revealed and defeated by an alternative radical and feminist vision of society.
Françoise Légey and Childbirth in Morocco
Authors: Katz Jonathan G.
Published: May 2021

The pioneering French doctor Françoise Entz Légey (1876-1935) devoted her career in Algeria and Morocco to women’s healthcare. Much acclaimed in her lifetime, and remembered today largely for her two books on Moroccan folklore, Légey established in Marrakesh a maternity hospital and a milk dispensary. She also embarked on a plan to instruct “modern” midwives to replace indigenous matrones and sages-femmes, known in Arabic as qablas. While Protectorate policy afforded opportunities to European women physicians like Légey, it simultaneously undermined the authority of indigenous Moroccan women healthcare providers. Efforts by Légey and other European physicians to supplant indigenous medicine with biomedicine ultimately contributed to the landscape of medical pluralism that prevails today. Moreover, European medicine disproportionately attracted the Jewish minority and further contributed to Jewish alienation from the
Muslim majority.

The Impact of Human Resource Practices on Organizational Climate and Employee Well-Being
Authors: Felipe de Carvalho Macena Luiz , Augusto Pereira Bastos Sérgio
Published: May 2021

This exploratory study evalua﻿ted the relationship between Human Resources (HR) practices, organizational climate, and employee well-being from the lens of the Social Exchange Theory. Therefore, data were analyzed using linear regression and structural equations. The results indicated that there is a positive impact of HR practices on both the organizational climate and employee well-being, as well as the organizational climate on well-being. However, the explanatory power of well-being was low, indicating the need for more customized human resources management. Additionally, HR practices and organizational climate sensitize well-being to a greater extent among women than men, suggesting that women may be able to absorb better the benefits of a friendly and contributory work environment. The study contributes to knowledge in people management oriented towards the well-being of employees.
The Effects of Corruption on Foreign Investments in Developed and Developing Countries
Authors: da Silva Oliveira Romerito , Teixeira Arilda
Published: May 2021

This paper aimed to identify which elements related to the corruption impact the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) regarding developed and developing countries. In order to achieve this purpose, the member countries of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) were analysed. It was a quantitative and descriptive survey, with a sample of 78 countries and secondary data from 2012 to 2017. The results were estimated by Logistic Regression and Multiple Linear Regression, with Random Effects (RA), chosen by the Breusch-Pagan (1980) and Hausman (1978) tests. It was suggested that the corruption does not impact the inflow of FDI; however, being a developed country, with positive Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rates, and institutional quality, have positive impacts on the inflow of the FDI. Moreover, it showed that it is possible to accept, with 95% confidence, the following statement, the more developed a country is, the smaller its Capital inflow of FDI.

Published: May 2021

This study presents the construction of the Community Participation Questionnaire (CPC) for urban adult population. For the analysis of the items, the internal structure of the construct and reliability, we applied to a random sample of 255 residents living in Villa El Salvador district (Lima), aged between 18 and 59 years old, from medium-low or low socioeconomic strata. To examine the validity related to other variables, we considered another sample of 51 inhabitants. The CPC consists of 32 items, with 8 dimensions. Sixteen judges participated and the Aiken’s V values (? .94) were satisfactory. The exploratory factor analysis showed a cumulative total variance of 69.7%, with factor loads greater than .35; likewise, confirmatory factor analysis shows very good adjustment (CFI = .96, GFI = .98, X2/df = 1.35, RMSEA = .03). The coefficients (> .95) theta, omega, H and composite evidence the high reliability of the CPC.
Estrategias conductuales de protección y consumo de alcohol en estudiantes universitarios: variaciones entre cursado y receso académico de verano
Authors: Pilatti Angelina , Vera Belén del Valle , Guzman María Luz , Pautassi Ricardo Marcos
Published: May 2021

This work examined seasonal variations in the use of protective behavioral strategies (PBS) and alcohol outcomes in two distinct times of the academic calendar: 1-spring semester and 2-summer break. We examined -both within each time and prospectively- the relationship between the use of PBS and alcohol outcomes. A sample of 223 college students reported -via two online surveys use of PBS, alcohol use and alcohol-related negative consequences. Use of PBS (notably the dimension “manner of drinking”) was negatively associated with alcohol outcomes, particularly in women and during spring. The frequency of use (in women only) and the weekly volume of alcohol ingested were greater during the summer. Women, but not men, reported greater use of PBS and fewer negative consequences during the break than at spring. The use of certain PBS may be associated, particularly in women, with lower alcohol consumption and alcohol-related negative consequences.
Escala de Autoeficacia Docente: análisis estructural e invarianza de medición en docentes peruanos de escuelas públicas
Authors: Dominguez-Lara Sergio Alexis , Fernández Arata Manuel , Merino Soto César , Navarro Loli Jhonatan , Calderón De la Cruz Gustavo
Published: May 2021

The aim was to analyze the internal structure and measurement invariance of the Teacher’s Self-Efficacy Scale (TSES) in Peruvian teachers from public schools (n = 347; 64.3% females; Mage = 46.96 years old; SDage= 9.05 years old). The internal structure was analyzed with confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM). The measurement invariance analysis was based on multi-group factor analysis, and self-efficacy scores and reliability were estimated. Results show no evidence for the three-factor model, whereas the bifactor model is invariant, suggesting that the construct is one-dimensional in men (CFI = .983; RMSEA = .051; WRMR = .577) and women (CFI = .986; RMSEA = .041; WRMR = .620); also, the reliability indices were strong. We conclude that the TSES has appropriate psychometric properties.
Propuestas para garantizar modalidades de consumo y producción sostenibles (ODS 12)
Authors: García Goldar Mónica
Published: May 2021

En este trabajo partimos del contexto social actual (sobreconsumismo, obsolescencia programada, etc.) para ilustrar la escasa orientación de ciertas normas del Derecho europeo de consumo hacia la sostenibilidad; hecho que contrasta con la aprobación por parte de las instituciones europeas de dos planes de acción para la economía circular (en 2015 y en 2020) que no se han visto reflejados en la reciente Directiva 2019/771, de 20 de mayo, sobre determinados aspectos de los contratos de compraventa de bienes. Por fortuna, y a pesar de que esta Directiva es de armonización máxima, se concede un cierto margen de maniobra en favor de los Estados miembros, que podrán establecer periodos más largos de responsabilidad, como así sería lo deseable. Por último, también haremos referencia a la posibilidad de que el mercado se vaya autodirigiendo hacia la circularidad, toda vez que existe en la actualidad una mayor demanda por productos sostenibles.

Objectives: Stuttering and phonological processing are mutually related. Emotion is an effective factor in fluency and language processing; however, its underlying neural mechanism remains unclear. Event-Related Potential (ERP) is a non-invasive highly-beneficial method with high time resolution for language processing. The present study aimed to explore phonological processing in emotional words in Children Who Stutter (CWS), compared to Typically-Developing Children (TDC). Methods: Ten Persian-speaking CWS (3 girls, 7 boys), aged 7-10 years (Mean±SD = 8.9±0.11) and 10 TDC who are matched in age (Mean±SD = 8.7±0.12) and gender were given 120 emotional words (high-valence low-valence) and neutral words to read. Phonological processing was measured by the aloud reading task, while ERP was simultaneously recorded. The collected results were analyzed as behavioral (reaction time and reading accuracy) and electrophysiological (amplitude and topography). Repeated-measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Independent Samples t-test were used for between-group comparisons. Results: The obtained behavioral data included Reaction Time (RT) and accuracy. There were no significant differences between the explored CWS and TDC in RT and accuracy (P>0.05). The mean value of amplitudes presented significant differences between CWS and TDC in language processing areas (P<0.05). The collected results indicated higher mean values of amplitude for neutral words. The distribution highly differed between the investigated CWS and TDC in neutral and negative words. However, there were similarities in positive words in distribution between the study groups. Discussion: The studied CWS and TDC were similar concerning behavioral results. High-valence words in the CWS group presented a higher similar distribution, compared to the TDC groups; however, low-valence words in the explored CWS had a more similar amplitude to the TDC group for neutral words. Then, emotional content facilitated phonological processing in the investigated CWS in the given time range.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on the Sense of Coherence (SOC), Locus of Control (LoC), and Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). These factors were explored according to the prevalence of psychological problems in these patients. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test and a control group design. The study population included all patients with MS from Iran’s MS Association in Tehran City, Iran. The study sample included 30 patients (n=15/group) who were selected by purposive sampling technique and according to the study inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study participants were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. After obtaining necessary permissions and informed consent, a pre-test was initially performed. The instruments used in this study were ‎the 29-item Antonovsky’s Sense of Coherence Scale; the 29-item Julian Rotter’s Locus of Control Scale, and the 21-item Tedeschi and Calhoun’s Posttraumatic Growth scale. Several studies supported the reliability and validity of these scales. The experimental group received 8 sessions (once a week, each session: 1.5 h) of group Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). However, the control group received no intervention. After the intervention, according to the instructions, the post-test was performed. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS V. 21. Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) was performed to examine between-group differences data. Results: The study findings indicated that ACT was effective on the SoC; however, it had no significant effect on the LoC and PTG (P=0.05). Discussion: Participation in ACT sessions could enhance the SoC of patients with MS. Accordingly, it can be improved by accepting and enhancing these patients’ commitment to change through psychotherapy approach and increasing their SoC.

Objectives: Mental practice, as a neuropsychological factor effective in motor recovery, is a cognitive rehearsal of a physical skill without muscular activity. Considering the high level of fatigue in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), we hypothesized that using mental practice as a low-level energy-consuming method added to physical practice could be a useful therapeutic strategy. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the effects of combined mental and physical practices on walking and daily living activities in patients with MS. Methods: A randomized double-blind controlled trial was applied in the present research. In total, 22 subjects with MS were randomly allocated into the occupational therapy and mental practice groups; all study subjects received equal occupational therapy interventions 3 days a week for 6 weeks. However, in addition to occupational therapy services, the study group received mental exercises. Such practices included the visual and kinesthetic imagery of walking activity in the presence of external cues. Walking ability and daily living activities were assessed at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and 2 weeks after the treatment (follow-up). Gait parameters (distance and speed) were measured by the functional scales of the 6-Minute Walk Test and the Timed 25-Foot Walk Test. The Barthel Index was used to test individuals’ performance in daily living activities. Results: The presented combined mental and physical practice significantly improved walking distance and walking speed in post-treatment (P=0.047, P<0.001) and follow-up (P=0.044, P=0.001) assessments, respectively. The Barthel Index scores significantly changed per group; however, no significant differences were found between the control and test groups in this regard (P=0.386). Discussion: The present study data revealed that performing mental practice along with occupational therapy interventions are more effective than regular interventions alone in the gait rehabilitation of patients with MS. These significant differences in walking performance in the intervention group remained obvious till the follow-up stage.

Objectives: Patellar ligament tendinopathy, also known as jumper’s knee, is a group of pain symptoms of the anterior side of the knee joint. The Kinetic Control (KC) concept uses the movement control rating system, based on motor tests and exercises aimed at re-educating motor control. The present study explored the effects of motor control training on the KC concept in treating patella ligament tendinopathy in a female football player. Methods: The current case study was conducted on a 20-year-old female football player. She had been complaining of pain in the front of the right knee joint for two months. Her treatment involved KC training was conducted for 6 weeks (3 times a week for 30 minutes). To investigate the effectiveness of the presented therapy, the following tools were used: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), The Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment–Patella (VISA-P scale), the Modified Laitinen Pain Questionnaire, Counter Movement Jump (CMJ) test on a dynamometric platform, and quadriceps muscle isometric test. The Asymmetry Index (AI) was applied to assess the asymmetry of quadriceps strength and lower limb loading. Results: The degree of pain (i.e. measured by the VAS) decreased from 7 points at pre-training to 1 point after 6 weeks of therapy. In the VISA-P measurement, pain decreased as a result of an increase in points from 53 to 82. Pain complaints (i.e. measured using the Laitinen questionnaire) decreased from 7 to 2 points. After treatment, the AI improved in all phases of the tests. Discussion: The achieved data indicated that the neuromuscular KC training was effective in treating patellar tendinopathy. However, it is necessary to conduct further studies with larger sample size.
Enhancement of Ultrasound Images (Removing of Speckle Noise Using Special An Isotropic Diffusion Filter)
Authors: Vandra Hitesh H
Published: May 2021

Medical imaging techniques are predominantly used in medical diagnosis and therapy. The success of this technique depends largely on the quality of images. Due to various factors images do not have appropriate contrast and are often overridden by noise, making the interpretation of the images too difficult leading to incorrect diagnosis. This will be a very important and significant contribution to the medical professional. Removing noise from the original image is still a challenging research in image processing. Generally there is no common enhancement approach for noise reduction. Several approaches have been introduced and each has its own assumption, advantages and disadvantages. The speckle noise is commonly found in the ultrasound medical images. This paper presents different filtering techniques based on Statistical methods for the removal of speckle noise in ultrasound images. The quality of the enhanced images is measured by the Statistical quantity measures: Peak Signal-to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Mean Square Error (MSE) and Correlation coefficient (COC).

Recently, there is strong evidence for the beneficial role of antioxidants in the treatment of periodontal diseases. A drug that is gaining more and more focus in new research is N-acetylcysteine, an antioxidant that contributes to the increase in glutathione (GSH), used as a mucolytic agent, however, recent studies have shown its significant role in decreasing levels of reactive oxygen species and in the bone resorption process in experimental periodontitis, therefore, this review sought to elucidate whether N-acetylcysteine is effective in the treatment of periodontitis and also in the involved mechanisms already mentioned in the literature. The present study is a mini-review, in which a search was performed on Google Scholar, PubMed and Web of Science and databases for the collection of studies published in the last 10 years (2009-2020). The mini-review included studies that addressed a direct or indirect link between the effects of N-acetylcysteine on periodontitis, studies published in recent years, and in vitro and in vivo studies (animal and / or human models). Seven articles were selected from the following databases: PubMed (03) and Google Scholar (04) were subsequently analyzed. As for the language and the journal, all were published in international Journals and in English. It was concluded that N-acetylcysteine was effective in bone resorption in experimental periodontitis, but further studies are suggested in order to elucidate all the mechanisms involved in the observed results.

Gastrointestinal form is the second stage of acute radiation
syndrome (ARS) with a threshold dose of 8 Gy in man. It
represents an absolutely lethal clinical-pathological unit, necrohemorrhagic enteritis and proctocolitis, with unknown causal
therapy. Elk-1 is a protein acting as a transcription factor
activating specified genes. The purpose of our study was to
examine the expression of phospho-Elk-1 in irradiated jejunum
and transversal colon of rats with radiation-induced enterocolitis
and to assess the importance of this transcriptional factor as a
biodosimetric marker of radiation-induced enteropathy. The
laboratory rats were randomly divided into 21 groups, 10 animals
per group, and irradiated with whole body γ-irradiation of 1, 5,
10, 15, and 20 Gy. Samples of jejunum and transversal colon
were taken 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours later, immunohistochemically stained, and the phospho-Elk-1 expression was
examined using computer image analysis. A group of 10 shamirradiated animals was used as control. Significantly increased
expression of phospho-Elk-1 in rat jejunum has been found in all
time intervals after irradiation by sublethal doses of 1 and 5 Gy,
whereas after the irradiation by lethal doses, the expression of
phospho-Elk-1 in rat jejunum varied considerably. Significantly
increased expression of phospho-Elk-1 in transversal colon has
also been found in the first days after irradiation by sublethal
doses of 1 and 5 Gy. After irradiation by lethal doses, tere was no
uniform pattern of the changes in the expression of phospho-Elk1 in rat transversal colon. The detection of phospho-Elk-1 might
be considered as a suitable and very sensitive biodosimetric
marker of radiation-induced injury of small and large intestine.
According to our knowledge, this is the first study on the
phospho-Elk-1 expression in irradiated jejunum and transversal
colon in the rat.
Mathematical model indicates nonlinearity of noradrenaline effect on rat renal artery

The aim of this work is to present the efficacy of a previously
introduced computational procedure, developed for evaluation of
vascular responsiveness. On this reason, as an example a
common study of noradrenaline (NA) effect on a rat renal artery
under in vitro conditions was arbitrarily selected. The response of
the arterial segment to NA doses (0.1-10 μg) was digitally
recorded on a PC and employed to develop mathematical model
of NA effect. Using the model, the following NA effect variables
were determined: the vessel sensitivity parameter, mean effect
time and rate constant, respectively, characterizing the effect
intensity, duration, and regression and also classic response
variables: the maximal effect and time of the maximal effect. The
two-way analysis of variance followed by Bonferroni’s test
revealed a significant influence of the increasing NA dose on the
vessel sensitivity parameter and mean effect time. These findings
indicated nonlinearity of processes underlying NA effect on the
rat renal artery over the given range of NA doses. The procedure
exemplified has the potential for use as an effective adjunct to
routine studies of vascular responsiveness as it enables the
extraction of meaningful information which cannot by obtained
by common manual evaluation procedures.
