The Evolution of Layout in Cyrenaean Official Documents (4th-2nd Centuries BCE)
Authors: Rosamilia Emilio
Published: January 2025

Between the 360s and the late second century BCE, Cyrenaean documents attest the importance of a local board of magistrates: the damiergoi, who were in charge of administering some sacred estates and their revenues to fund sacrifices and provide for other city officials. This board of magistrates published their accounts annually on stone in the city’s agora. The thirty-eight surviving accounts can be divided into four different phases and have proved to be an extremely precious source for the evolution of layout strategies, writing media, abbreviations, and numeral systems viewed in a longue durée perspective. From a close examination, further elements stand out, such as how and to what extent other areas – namely Attica and Ptolemaic Egypt – and their administrative traditions influenced the damiergoi’s accounting practices. Moreover, this re-examination of the damiergoi accounts sheds light on an abbreviation found in the early-third-century-CE papyrus Marmarica (P.Marm.), which has so far been misinterpreted as a siglum for an uncommon unit of measurement: the ((hepta))m(etron scil. keramion). Cyrenaean evidence permits an alternative hypothesis, namely that the liquid measure used here is the centuries-old zm(ireus) – i.e., smireus – which is already attested in the accounts of the damiergoi.
Monumental Transformations: Two Copies of a Letter from Hadrian at Aphrodisias
Authors: Graham Abigail
Published: January 2025

How is a document transformed in the journey from text to monument? This chapter explores how the process of inscribing (or recarving) a document could impact its appearance, function, and meaning. Monumental documents have been the subject of much scholarship, but the focus of studies has primarily been on content. While this approach makes sense from a historical perspective, recent scholarship has sought to incorporate aspects of materiality and physicality into interpretations of inscriptions, which are experienced both as texts and as objects. Did different versions of a document look like copies? How might differences in the physical appearance and context of a document shape its perception and meaning? Focusing on a specific case study, two copies of a letter from Hadrian to Aphrodisias inscribed at different times and places (I.Aphrodisias 2007 8.34 and I.Aphrodisias 2007 11.114), this chapter assesses how monumental copies of documents were presented and perceived by ancient viewers.
Crossing Abbreviations, Monograms, and Symbols. Preliminary Survey of chi-rho, Staurogram, and stauros in Greek Documentary Papyri from Egypt
Authors: Reggiani Nicola
Published: January 2025

Chi-rho ⳩ is universally known as the Christian monogram, consisting of the first two letters of the name Χριϲτόϲ. In ancient times, it coexisted with other common signs, the staurogram ⳨ and stauros ϯ, both connected to the Holy Cross of Jesus. An analysis of the development of these signs in papyrological evidence from Hellenistic, Roman, and Late-Antique Egypt allows us to track the everyday use of these writing strategies from their pre-Christian origins onward. While the staurogram and stauros are extensively employed in late documents to place texts under God’s protection, the chi-rho developed in a distinctive way. It originated in Ptolemaic cursive handwritings as a simple monogram, inconsistently abbreviating words beginning with χρ-, and survived with a similar function in Roman and Byzantine documents, though mostly in other χρ-words and terms characteristically containing those letters (e.g. χειρόγραφον, χαίρειν). A specific field examined is that of medicine, where it indicated the imperative χρῷ “use” in prescriptive texts, and eventually became a graphic symbol in medical recipes and lost its linguistic role. In only one document is the monogram employed to indicate Christ’s name. Possibly, the extensive use of ⳩ in documentary writings prevented the Christian meaning of the monogram from being employed in non-literary papyri. This chapter discusses these complex interactions, attempting to outline the interplay between writing strategies, symbolic thought, and the materiality of written texts from a semiographic point of view.
An Insight on V.cholerae GbpA and Toll-Like Receptor 2 Interaction
Authors: Mandal Sudipto
Published: January 2025

Vibrio cholerae N-acetylglucosamine binding protein (GbpA), a secretory colonization factor which is essential for adherence to chitin rich surfaces in environment as well as in intestinal lining. It was previously shown to interact with Toll like receptor 2 on host cells and induce inflammatory response. However, the detailed image of the GbpA-TLR2 interaction is yet to elucidate. In this study using confocal imaging we have found that GbpA co-localize with TLR2 on host cell surface. The predicted model of GbpA-TLR2 complex using molecular docking analysis revealed that the concave surface of TLR2 was involved in H-bond interaction with domain 1 of GbpA. With this study we provide insight into V.cholerae specific host-microbe interaction involving GbpA and TLR2.

Behçet’s disease (BD) is a chronic, multi-system inflammatory disease with potentially devastating ocular involvement. Uveitis remains one of the leading causes of blindness in BD patients. The usual remedies, mainly corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, do not effectively work long term and/or stop relapses. New medicines have changed treatment. New therapies for Behçet’s uveitis may just address the cause of the disease process. This paper analyses the continuous evolution of biologics and their contribution towards improving prognosis; specifically it examines tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors, interleukin (IL) antagonists, and other monoclonal antibodies. Drugs like infliximab and adalimumab have been quite helpful in controlling inflammation, preventing relapses, and saving sight. These agents target immune pathways to ameliorate the systemic and ocular manifestations of BD, and they have a better safety profile than traditional agents. Rising proof points out that IL-17 and IL-1 inhibitors may also work, opening the choice of therapy for resistant cases. Even though they have made progress, there is still a lot of work to do and overcome optimization biologics challenges related to the patient, cost, and adverse effects. This review highlights the value of personalized treatments, offering key recommendations for the use of biologics in their overall management approach depending on the severity. Also, real-world studies and head-to-head trials will help refine therapeutic algorithms in the future directions. Doctors may use biologic therapies to greatly enhance the quality of life and the visual outcome in Behçet’s uveitis. It is an important step toward precision medicine in BD.

Acremonium is a polyphyletic genus known as cephalosporium formerly widely spread in environment commonly found in soil, decaying vegetation, plant debris and decaying food. Acremonium sclerotigenum isolated from clinical samples of tinea infected patients from Punjab Pakistan. Goal of the study is to achieve biochemical characterization of the A.sclerotigenum and to analyze the effect of physiological stress and terbinafine susceptibility in test strain. A.sclerotigenum was analyzed for oxidative, osmotic stress adaptability by culture characteristics, protease and lipase qualitative and activity assays and antifungal terbinafine susceptibility testing for isolated Acremonium strain. Study revealed that A.sclerotigenum is not resistant to osmotic and oxidative stress. Level of extracellular proteolytic enzymes is low although lipase enzyme found to be active at a moderate level. A.sclerotigenum has very low MIC for terbinafine. A detailed research on the mechanism involving in anti-fungal resistance in A.sclerotigenum, is still to be explore.
Toxicological effects of Mercury in Radish (Raphanus Sativus) plants – Biochemical Analysis

Mercury is one of the major toxic heavy metal, poses significant risks to both the environment and human health due to its persistence and its capability to accumulate within ecosystems. The primary route of mercury exposure is through contaminated soil, water and food sources, which can lead to substantial damage to living organisms. In particular, mercury exposure adversely affecting the kidneys, nervous system and other important organs. This study investigates the toxicological effects of Mercury in Radish (Raphanus Sativus) plants through biochemical analysis. The experimental plants were divided into four groups, Group 1, the control group, received no mercury treatment, while Groups 2, 3 and 4 were subjected to mercury concentrations of 50, 100 and 200 mg, respectively. The results demonstrated that mercury exposure led to a significant reduction in important growth parameters. Specifically, the germination percentage, root and shoot lengths, fresh and dry weight, and vigor index were all markedly decreased in the mercury treated groups compared to the control. Biochemical analysis revealed the mercury’s clear negative impact on the metabolic processes in radish plants. Mercury at higher concentrations was associated with a notable reduction in carbohydrate and protein levels, reflecting the plant’s impaired physiological functions. Additionally, the activities of key enzymic antioxidants, such as catalase and superoxide dismutase, were significantly reduced under mercury induced stress. By exploring the biochemical and physiological effects of mercury exposure, this research provides valuable insights into how mercury accumulation impacts plant health.

Introduction: The use of central venous catheter is a common practice in hemodialysis in Mali. Its use exposes to risks such as infection, stenosis, thrombosis among others. Pulmonary embolism is a rare but serious complication. The aim of our work was to offer advice on the diagnosis, risk factors, treatment and prevention of deep vein thrombosis following the placement of a central catheter. Observation: This was a 56-year-old woman, a housewife living in the city of Bamako. She had been on chronic hemodialysis for 6 months due to nephroangiosclerosis, at a rate of two four-hour sessions per week through a right femoral catheter. Before her hospitalization, she had a fever, physical asthenia, anorexia, a feeling of heavy leg on the right and abdominal pain. The clinical examination found a conscious patient, with little color and normal parameters, a swelling of the right leg with pain and redness. The biological assessment revealed hypochromic microcytic anemia, Procalcitonin at 2.75ng/l. The Doppler of the right lower limb confirmed deep vein thrombosis. The pulsed cardiac Doppler and the ECG confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. Curative treatment of venous thrombosis was started. The immediate aftermath was marked by respiratory problems requiring oxygen therapy, acute circulatory failure syndrome with coldness of the extremities. The outcome was unfavorable with the death of the patient. Conclusion: The use of central venous catheter for hemodialysis as first-line treatment remains frequent in Mali. Patients should benefit from increased monitoring and prophylactic treatment to prevent the occurrence of thromboembolic events.
