This research elaborated the Turkestan’s life Muslim community in 1941 – 1945 under the Soviet Union. This research made based on researcher’s interest in the history of the Soviet Union’s Muslim community especially the Muslim community in Turkestan whowere in an apprehensive extreme condition when they were under the Stalin regime rule. That was the reason why Turkestan’s Muslim community finally fought back. The research aimed to identify the Turkestan Legion’s effort in fighting back Stalin’s regime. The method was the historical method. Turkestan’s Muslim community fought backbecause Stalin made a discriminative rule and disserve Turkestan’s Muslim community, such as prohibiting the religious freedom and occupied over all natural resources in Turkestan, which resulting poverty and hunger for Turkestan’s Muslim community because Turkestan got nothing from them. Therefore, when Germany invaded the Soviet Union on 22 June 1942, it benefited the Turkestan Muslim community by made cooperation with Germany to fight The Stalin regime. The cooperation between Germany and Turkestan Muslim community marked by forming Germany voluntary soldier with a special member from Turkestan’s Muslim community named TurkestanLegion. Not only used by Germany in fighting in the Soviet Union, but Turkestan Legion also took part in the fighting in Western Front faced England and the United State of America in Normandy.

Published: January 2020

The local historical event that occurred in Bandung Regency under R. E. Soeriapoetra during the revolution era was in a state of a refugee. This was due to attacks carried out by the Dutch who wanted to return to control Indonesia. In general, this study wants to answer the question about “How was Raden Toemoenggoeng Endoeng Soeriapoetra administered of his government amid the political crisis post-independence?”. This research aimed to analyze the local government under R.T.E. Soeriapoetra in Bandung Regency. To discuss the study, the researcher conducted a study using historicalmethods that include heuristics, source criticism, interpretation and historiography. Based on the results it can be explained that even though the administration under R.T.E. Soeriapoetra’s leadership was unstable, the local government still ran due to good communication and cooperation between the leaders, subordinates and the people. The undertaken program was only related to the government’s situation at that time such as making roads, repairing roads and supplying food, clothing for the fighters and also the people because at that time the process of government is in a state of a refugee. So that in his leadership as Regent of Bandung not many programs were made. He also served as Regent of Bandung in a short time which is only two years, starting from 1945-1947, because caught by the Dutch. He was also offered to become regent again under Pasundan State but he refused. He chose to be detained rather thanhaving to cooperate with the Dutch.

Lekra Vs Manikebu: Perlawanan Majalah Sastra terhadap Politik Kebudayaan Pemerintah Masa Demokrasi Terpimpin (1961-1964)
Authors: Susanti Nurmalia , Supriatna Nana , Sumantri Yeni Kurniawati
Published: January 2020

This research emerged from the author’s interest in cultural magazines’ involvement regarding a political situation in Indonesia. The main problem discussed “how was the Sastra magazine’s resistance against cultural politics of the Leaded Democracy periodin 1961-1964?” The main problem elaborated into four research questions, namely: (1) how was the background of Sastra magazine’s publication?; (2) how was the culture concept from Sastra magazine’s perspective?; (3) how was the Sastra magazine’s efforts to defended its perspective in addressing anti-mainstream cultural concepts?;and (4) how was the impact received by the Sastra magazine due to maintaining the anti-mainstream cultural concept?. The method used in this study is the historical method which is divided into four stages, such as heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Based on the study, it can be explained that Sastra published in 1961 was a continuation of Kisah, the publication of this magazine has acted as aneffort to provide good reading for the community. In its development, Sastra has its own view of the cultural concept of the Leaded Democracy era, that Indonesian culture is an honest culture that was born from the conscience of the people based on humanity, not based on the slogans of party interests. That was considered not following the spirit of revolution that had not been completed at the time, which led to attacks from various parties, especially from the Lekra. Sastra maintained its stance, one of which was through its involvement in the Manifes Kebudayaan, which was a statement of a group of artists regarding Indonesia’s national culture. But not even a year, theManifes Kebudayaan declared forbidden by President Sukarno because he considered competing with the Indonesian Political Manifesto. The prohibition statement became a trigger for Sastra to disappear from circulation because it was labelled as a tool for the reactionaries.

Words as protective masks for emotions
Authors: Solodovnikova Natalia Gennadievna
Published: January 2020

In the aspect of linguoecology reinterpreted is interaction of emotions and words previously studied by emotiology. Examined are the types of such interaction that implement a protective function of words that serve as masks for emotions. The essence of the metaphor "emotional masks" is revealed. The author justified the emotive approach to linguoecology, the understanding of the concepts of ecology, ecology of emotions, emotive linguoecology, the ecology of the use of words as protective masks for emotions.
It is also argued why the method of emotional analysis is a subtle and reliable tool in working with emotional masks. The examples of texts demonstrating the manifestation of emotional masks are given with emphasizing the methodological importance of emotiology for inguistic ecology. The author gives the examples of lexical emotives acting as protective masks for certain emotions that are experienced but not expressed. It is specified from which of the verbally expressed emotions emotional masks can be formed.
The motivation of appealing to emotional masks in communication are explained. It is clarified the reactive nature of emotions, and that area of linguoecological responsibility of communicants in emotional situations begins at the level of expression and, in particular, through using lexical emotives. It is assumed that the main function of the mask is not to pretend, but to protect. Keywords and phrases: emotions and words; expression of emotions; lexical emotives; masks; emotive linguoecology; linguoecology of emotional communication
The pragmatics of metaphor and metonymy in a media text
Authors: Samkova Maria Andreevna
Published: January 2020

This article deals with metaphor and metonymy as language tools that function in a media text. Metaphors and metonymy violate the Grice’s maxims and serve a disinformation strategy. The metonymy in a media text is expressed mainly with the help of names (-onyms) and performs two functions. The pragmatic function is to shape the reader's perception. The instrumental function is to form the subjective image.
The metonymic models (part – the whole, concrete – abstract, dominant – secondary) indirectly refer to an object, which allows the author to create a negative image without the risk of incriminating lies or disinformation. A metaphor in a disinforming media text helps to form a pejorative assessment of an object. The main functions of a metaphor in a media text are manipulative (metaphors form and fossilize stereotypes) and emotional-evaluative (metaphors appeal to emotions). The nature and game metaphors are frequently used in a media text. The nature metaphor is effectivebecause of its simplicity. The game metaphor forms the image of an adversary/enemy. Metaphors and metonymy in a media text make it either informationally redundant or eager, ambiguous and emotional. Metaphors and metonymy violate the Cooperative Principle and contribute to the manipulation of the readers’ perception and consciousness stimulating verbal aggression in readers’ comments on media texts
Parametric Synthesis of a Robust Controller Based on the Method of Dominant Poles
Authors: Gayvoronskiy S. A. , Ezangina T. A. , Khozhaev I. V.
Published: January 2020

In the paper a linear control system described by its characteristic polynomial with interval coefficients including parameters of controller linearly is considered. Problem of the research is finding parameters of a controller guaranteeing dynamic characteristics of a system despite interval parametric uncertainty of its object. It is proposed to base a controller synthesis on root quality indices: minimal stability degree and maximal oscillability degree. Desired values of these indices will be provided with the help of dominant poles method. Applying this method consists in placing a pair of complex-conjugate dominant poles; all other poles — unrestricted poles — will be placed by defining a right border of their allocation area on a complex plane. To apply dominant poles method, a feature of stability degree and oscillability degree to be determined by images of certain vertices of a parametric polytope was used. To synthesize a controller, it is proposed to divide its parameters in two groups: dependent ones and unrestricted ones. The first group of controller parameters is to provide desired allocation of dominant poles in one of vertices of parametric polytope (a dominant vertex). Unrestricted parameters of a controller are to provide desired distance between dominant poles and allocation area of unrestricted poles. To find coordinates of a dominant vertex and verifying vertices providing unrestricted poles allocation, an interval extension of basic phase equation of a root locus theory was developed. This resulted in interval phase inequalities, whose solution allows finding coordinates of desired vertices of characteristic polynomials coeffi cients polytope. Knowing a dominant vertex polynomial and dominant poles allows expressing dependent parameters of a controller from unrestricted ones. Obtained expressions allow placing unrestricted poles in a desired area of a complex plane. To do this, a D-partition by unrestricted parameters of a controller is performed in all verifying vertices of parametric polytope of a system. After choosing values of unrestricted parameters from intersection of all stability domains obtain during D-partition, dependent parameters of a controller can be calculated. An example of synthesizing a PID-controller guaranteeing desired values of dynamics characteristics for an interval control system of the fourth order is provided.
Emergency Braking Trajectory Control for Manipulator in the Case of Driver Failure
Authors: Kartashev V. A. , Kartashev V. V.
Published: January 2020

In emergency situation robot control system stops the manipulator by shutdowning drivers and activating brakes. This mode is used in all cases of equipment failure detection or while alarm bottom is pressed on control panel. Emergency braking is uncontrolled motion. As result manipulator movement deviates from program trajectory as the relations between velocities in joints differ significantly. This creates danger of collisions with objects in robot work space. The paper describes device that can be connected to control system. Connection needs insignificant changing in hardware architecture of robot control system. Device consists of controller and individual electronic schemes that are able to activate brakes of each degree of freedom regardless from other one. This feature allows to design braking trajectory by activating brakes in specific sequence and calculated delays. Mathematical solution for deviation minimization problem of braking trajectory from program one is presented. The solution is reduced to mathematical formulas which depend of the temporary velocities and values of braking decelerations in manipulator joints. The considered way of control differs from similar one described earlier by that in emergency situation drivers turn off immediately. On the first stage manipulator brakes by friction forces in gear boxes. Theoretical evaluations show that in all cases this reduces deviations from program trajectory. Additionally the new way can be used even if fault takes place at least one of drivers.

Authors: Karabutov N. N.
Published: January 2020

The identification problem of Lyapunov exponents is considered for dynamic systems with periodic coefficients under uncertainty. Indexes identification is based on the analysis of a special class of frameworks describing dynamics of indexes change. The method of frameworks obtaining is described. The adequacy concept of obtained estimations Lyapunov exponents is introduced. The adequacy criterion is based on the analysis of the structure definition domain. The domain which belongs to the set of Lyapunov exponents estimates is determined. The method proposed for the order estimation of the system. The method is based on the properties analysis of almost periodic to Bohr functions and proposed frameworks. The case when lineals for Lyapunov exponents are crossed is considered. WE obtain to an infinite spectrum of Lyapunov exponents. Upper bound for the smallest index and mobility limit for the large index are obtained and the index set of the system is determined. The graphics criteria based on the analysis of framework properties are proposed for the adequacy estimation of obtained indexes. The histogram method is applied to check of estimations set. It is shown that a dynamic system with periodic coefficients can have a set of Lyapunov exponents. The extension of almost periodic functions on Bohr is proposed to the problem solve of Lyapunov exponents evaluation. The system order estimation is obtained on the basis of the framework property analysis.
Decentralized Nonlinear Group Control of Fixed-Wing UAV Formation
Authors: Muslimov T. Z. , Munasypov R. A.
Published: January 2020

The article proposes a control method for autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) group of a fixed-wing type intended to both implement and support flight information with predetermined relative distances between the vehicles. The suggested approach provides any selected geometric formation shape construction and further preservation when UAVs enter a straight-line trajectory described by a given course with arbitrary initial positions of UAVs in the horizontal plane. The proposed method feature is "autopilot—UAV" system’s nonlinear structure consideration, manifesting itself in both the autopilot input commands restrictions existence as well as nonholonomic UAV dynamics. In addition, there is an unlimited multi-UAV system scalability available due to decentralization. We take into account the need to maintain a minimum flight speed of not less than the stall speed and the final speed of the formation equal to the cruising speed of this type of UAV. The nonlinear group control laws synthesized using Lyapunov’s direct method are based on the decentralized consensus interaction topology, initially developed for linear agents, which implies each vehicle to interact with its neighboring vehicles only. Global asymptotic stability for the current control laws has been proved. As a result, proposed control laws determine a non-uniform path-following vector field for each vehicle in the whole UAV group flight space (currently two-dimensional space). The suggested field vector norm at a certain space point is the airspeed command for the vehicle at that point while the vector direction is the course angle command. The proposed approach effectiveness has been successfully tested in the MATLAB/Simulink while using realistic nonlinear six degree-of-freedom (DOF) 12-states fixed-wing UAV models. High fidelity simulation results confirm the suggested approach effectiveness.

Journalism Professionalism and Professional Standards: Theoretical Aspects and Media Practitioners’ Interpretation
Authors: Budivska Halyna
Published: January 2020

The article deals with the normative principles of journalistic professionalism and professional standards, comparing them with interpretation of Ukrainian media professionals. The purpose of the study is to outline the professional standards of Ukrainian journalists dealing with sociopolitical issues. Based on ten interviews with the journalists as the respondents aged 21 to 50 from different national and regional media outlets, the author indicates several peculiarities how the Ukrainian media practitioners perceive this problem.

It is revealed that the so-called “western model” of journalism is superimposed on the complicated socio-political conditions of journalists, and therefore it is not accepted unconditionally by the part of media practitioners. The situation of turbulence where the Ukrainian journalists find themselves today, affects their perceptions of journalistic professionalism and professional standards. According to the results of the survey, recognition of importance of journalistic standards prevails among the respondents, but in practice unconditional adherence to these standards is complicated or is impossible for the interviewers taking into account sensitivity of coverage of transformations and the war in the country, as well as the challenges connected with media owners’ political interests and difficult financial situation in the media. Also, based on the findings obtained, it is concluded that there is insufficient institutionalization of professional standards in the Ukrainian media environment.

Papillary Pathology in Calcium Oxalate Stone Formers Who Do and Do Not Form Their Stones on Randall’s Plaque
Authors: Al-Awadi, BS Haider N. , Williams, Jr., PhD James C.
Published: January 2020

Background and Hypothesis: Nephrolithiasis currently affects about one-in-eleven people with a recurrence in up to half of those individuals. Formation of calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone is most common. Some CaOx stones are known to form on Randall’s plaque, which is a calcification of the renal papilla, and this kind of stone can be identified by morphology. We divided CaOx stone formers into two groups: Randall’s plaque (RP) stone formers (RPSF) and non-Randall’s plaque stone formers (NRPSF). We hypothesized that renal papillary pathologies would be different between these two groups of stone formers.
Experimental Design or Project Methods: Surgical videos were assessed for papillary pathology using a semiquantitative grading system to measure papillary appearance in terms of ductal plugging and dilation, tissue surface pitting, loss of papillary contour, and RP. The second measure computed the papillary percent surface area of Randall’s plaque and ductal plugging using still images of the papilla. The scoring and quantitative measures of the papillae were compared between the two patient groups. All work was done in a manner blinded to the patient group.
Results: Two-tailed t-test showed that RPSF group had higher scores of pitting and RP and lower scores for plugging when compared to the NRPSF group. Similarly, the quantitative data showed that RPSF group had a lower percentage of plugging surface area and higher percentage of RP surface area.
Conclusion and Potential Impact: These data show that persons forming their CaOx stones primarily on RP have a papillary pathology that differs from CaOx stone formers who make their stones by other mechanisms. RPSF have more RP and less ductal plugging. Since the underlying pathologies existing in RP stone formation are different from other CaOx stone formers, it is possible that certain treatments could be especially effective for this group, and thus these results suggest that clinical trials that separate out this group of CaOx stone formers are warranted.
Skin Infections in Indiana Nursing Homes
Authors: Brown Kayla , Unroe, MD, MHA Kathleen , Carnahan, MD, MPH, MA Jennifer
Published: January 2020

Background and Hypothesis: OPTIMISTIC (Optimizing Patient Transfers, Impacting Medical Quality, & Improving Symptoms: Transforming Institutional Care) is a CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) demonstration project that aims to improve nursing home care. CMS provides enhanced reimbursement to nursing homes in the project when they are able to treat six conditions in the facility rather than being transferred to a hospital, one of which being skin infections. The purpose of this study is to examine the diagnosis, treatments, and outcomes of skin infections of residents in nursing homes enrolled in OPTIMISTIC.
Experimental Design or Project Methods: A chart review of 26 cases was conducted using data from nursing home medical records of nine OPTIMISTIC facilities. Cases were randomly selected from billing episodes between November 2018 and May 2019. Data was entered into an Excel extraction tool created for the project and analyzed.
Results: Of the randomly selected skin infections, 46.2% were diagnosed as non-purulent cellulitis and 23.1% as purulent cellulitis. Other infections included abscesses, infected pressure injuries, and shingles. Doxycycline was the most common antibiotic prescribed, used in 42.3% of the total skin infections. For non-purulent cellulitis, cephalexin was the next most used antibiotic (41.7%). Twelve of the skin infections were recurrent, and the most common antibiotic used for those infections was doxycycline. Of the twenty-six cases, twenty-three were resolved in the facility, one was recertified for a longer length of time, one was transferred to the hospital, and one was transferred to hospice.
Conclusion and Potential Impact: This project provides a unique opportunity to examine diagnosis and treatment patterns of skin infections in nursing homes. The results of this study will be used to bolster and augment future efforts at nursing home care improvement for patients diagnosed with skin infections in the facility.
Nef Alleles derived from HIV-Positive Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension Affect Production and Function of Exosomes in Endothelial Colony Forming Cells
Authors: Cross-Najafi Arthur , Colbert Tyler , Chelvanambi Sarvesh , Almodovar Sharilyn , Flores Sonia , Clauss Matthias
Published: January 2020

Background: The HIV positive population has a > 300 fold higher risk for developing pulmonary hypertension (PH) as compared to the general population. PH is a disease characterized by elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary vasculature and is currently with no cure. Experiments with primates found that Nef, an HIV encoded protein secreted in exosomes from HIV+ cells, plays an important role in the development of HIV-PH. HIV-Nef+ exosomes induce endothelial dysfunction, including premature senescence of endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs). We hypothesize that exosome functions and concentrations in HIV+ patients may vary based on Nef-mutations, and thus potentially define a predictor for the risk of developing PH.
Methods: Nef exosomes were isolated from HEK293? cells transfected with molecular constructs containing HIV Nef signature sequences recovered from patients with HIV-PH. The Nef exosomes were then used to treat ECFC. We measured cell proliferation (by MTT assay), apoptosis (cleaved caspase-3 by Western blot), and cell senescence (p16ink4A by flow cytometry) in ECFCs treated with Nef exosomes. LM-10-Nanosight was used to quantify exosome concentrations in patient plasma.
Results: ECFC treated with Nef exosomes induced a 30% reduction in cell proliferation (p<0.05, MTT). Western blot analysis demonstrated no significant change in apoptotic signaling, and flow cytometric analysis of p16ink4A showed increased senescence in Nef exosome-treated ECFCs versus mock control. “Nef PH-transfected cells showed that decreased proliferation was dependent on specific mutations of Nef.
Conclusion: Expression of Nef in cells results in increased exosome production and treatment of ECFC with these exosomes resulted in decreased proliferation, which inducting the cells towards senescence based on signature sequences in Nef.
Bag3 P209L myopathies and efficacy of blocking signaling pathways with the therapeutic peptide, MMI-0100
Authors: Hacker Ashley R. , Berthiaume Jessica M. , Willis Monte S.
Published: January 2020

Background and Hypothesis: The Bcl2-associated anthanogene (BAG) 3 protein is a member of the BAG family of cochaperones, which play a critical role in cellular processes, including protein degradation and turnover. Over 30 Bag3 mutations have been identified, including a Proline209Leucine (P209L) missense mutation which causes a severe childhood cardiomyopathy. The mechanism by which Bag3 mutations causes cardiomyopathy is currently unknown, but the p38/MAPK signaling cascade has been shown to be altered in our animal model that coexpresses the human Bag3 P209L gene. We hypothesized the cell-permeant peptide, MMI-0100, which is known to inhibit MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 (MK2) activity in the p38/MAPK signaling cascade, would alleviate or reduce cardiac dysfunction.
Experimental Design: Echocardiographic analysis of cardiac function of cardiac-specific Bag3 P209L transgenic (and wildtype littermate control) mice (20 – 22 months of age) was assessed by high-resolution ultrasound echocardiography (VisualSonics Vevo 2100, MS550D probe, cardiology package) to document the established disease-related cardiac dysfunction at baseline. Mice were then treated with 100mg/kg/day MMI-0100 nebulized daily for 30 days. Follow-up echocardiography was performed at 10, 20, and 30 days of MMI-0100 treatment. Echocardiographic analysis was performed to determine the systolic function (EF%, FS%), chamber dimensions, and wall thickness in systole and diastole using Vevo 2100 Workstation software package.
Results: Blinded analysis of echocardiographic data identified that Bag3 P209L Tg+ mice had a baseline cardiac dysfunction compared to wildtype controls at 20 months of age (WT= 76% EF, 44% FS; Tg+= 66% EF, 36% FS). MMI-0100 treatment significantly attenuated this dysfunction by 20 days of MMI-0100 treatment (WT= 79% EF, 47% FS; Tg+= 80% EF, 48% FS), consistent with demonstrating for the first time MK2’s role in mediating p38 signaling in the pathogenesis of Bag3 P209L cardiomyopathy.
Conclusion and Potential Impact: The MMI-0100 peptide has proven efficacious in several animal models of fibrosis driven by p38 signaling, as MK2 is a p38 downstream mediator. Future studies seek to translate the use of the MMI-0100 peptide in pediatric patients with Bag3 P209L cardiomyopathy through compassionate use FDA pathways.

Authors: Graham, BS Jacob D. , Bair, MD, MS Matthew J.
Published: January 2020

Background and Hypothesis: Pain is cited as the primary reason patients access the healthcare system and is estimated to produce total financial cost of 500 billion dollars. However, pain can be difficult to treat, and is often associated with various mental health comorbidities, such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, which can attenuate the effects of treatment. Thus, it is important to identify novel therapies that can both provide pain relief, and treat any associated mental health comorbidity. Animal Assisted Intervention (AAI) is one such possible treatment. Numerous studies have been published that highlight the potential of AAI in this domain. The aim of this study was to evaluate and synthesize the results of these studies.
Experimental Design or Project Methods: A literature search was conducted searching the databases MEDLINE, CINAHL, and EMBASE with search terms related to AAI, pain, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. 110 articles met the inclusion criteria and their results were reviewed.
Results: 24 articles analyzed outcomes related to pain, and 17 of these articles found that AAI significantly improved pain. Of these 17 articles, the average absolute magnitude of improvement in pain severity was 15%. 69 articles analyzed outcomes related to anxiety, and 37 found that AAI significantly improved anxiety. Of these 37 articles, the average absolute magnitude of improvement in anxiety symptom severity was 16%. 54 articles analyzed outcomes related to depression, and 29 found that AAI significantly improved depression. Of these 29 articles, the average absolute magnitude of improvement in depression symptom severity was 13%. 15 articles analyzed outcomes related to PTSD, and 11 found that AAI significantly improved PTSD symptoms. Of these 11 articles, the average absolute magnitude of improvement in PTSD symptom severity was 18%.
Conclusions and Potential Impact: AAI is promising as a complementary therapy for the treatment of pain as it is able to significantly improve pain while simultaneously treating common mental health comorbidities.
Targeted Ablation of AIMP1 in Lipopolysaccharide-induced Acute Lung Injury
Authors: O’Connor Chris , Schwarz, MD Margaret , Lee, PhD Daniel
Published: January 2020

Background and Hypothesis: Infants with Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease of premature infants, are more susceptible to acute lung injury (ALI). Endothelial-Monocyte Activating Polypeptide II (EMAP II, encoded by Aimp1) is a proinflammatory cytokine that originates from bronchiolar club cells and plays a role in the inflammatory response during BPD development. Prolonged EMAP II exposure has been shown to worsen BPD pathogenesis by activating alveolar macrophages. The targeted ablation of EMAP II in the bronchial club cells of a mouse model (Scgb1a1-ERTCre;Aimp1/fl/fl) is hypothesized to decrease the inflammatory effects of ALI.
Experimental Design: Aged-matched littermate mice (ages ranging from 20-25 weeks) with Tamoxifen inducible, Cremediated, bronchial club cell specific ablation of Aimp1 (Scgb1a1-ERTCre;Aimp1/fl/fl, denoted cKO) or with only partial ablation (Scgb1a1-ERT2Cre;Aimp1/fl/wt denoted Ctrl) were given three doses of 120 micro-liters of 20mg/ml tamoxifen over a seven day period. 24 hours after the final dose they were administered a single intratracheal delivery of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (5mg/kg) 24 hours later immunohistochemistry (IHC) for EMAP II and inflammation was assessed by immunoblotting (IB) for IL-6 in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and cytospin of BAL.
Results: IHC showed a decrease of EMAP II expression in the bronchioles of the cKO as compared to ctrl. IL-6 was increased 1.95 fold in the BAL fluid of cKO by IB. Cytospin analysis showed: (Cell Type: Ctrl%, cKo%), Macrophages: 4.66%, 4.70%, Mature neutrophils: 44.44%, 60.25%, Banded Neutrophils: 41.93%, 26.20%, Lymphocytes: 4.30%, 5.10%, Eosinophils: 2.51%, 2.10%, Monocytes: 2.15%, 1.64%.
Conclusions: Ablation of bronchial club cell EMAP II, in LPS-induced ALI increased the amount of IL-6 and percentage of mature neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. No significant difference in macrophage were noted in either group. These findings suggest that EMAP II influences immune response time; however, more experiments would be required to establish a link.
Effects of diabetes-related stimuli on soluble epoxide hydrolase expression
Authors: Patwari Neeta , Park Bomina , Corson Timothy
Published: January 2020

Background and Hypothesis: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a frequent complication of diabetes and is a leading cause of blindness in the developed world. While the treatment of DR has progressed with the use of anti-VEGF therapies, the underlying mechanisms for DR are still unknown. Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) activity has been linked to retinal neovascularization, which can lead to blindness in proliferative DR. The use of sEH inhibitors also slowed the progression of experimental DR. In particular, sEH might be expressed in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), which is a critical player in metabolic processing and could be influenced by diabetes-related stimuli to promote neovascularization. We hypothesize that stimuli seen in diabetes can lead to sEH overexpression in human retinal pigmented epithelial cells (ARPE-19).
Experimental Design or Project Methods: To test our hypothesis, we examined sEH expression in ARPE-19 cells treated under hyperglycemic and hypoxic conditions similar to those of a diabetic retina. ARPE19 were treated with increasing doses of these stimuli and underwent RNA isolation, RT-PCR to study mRNA expression of sEH, and immunoblotting to study protein expression of sEH.
Results: After hyperglycemia treatment, there was a 1.5-fold increase in protein level of sEH from the control at 10 mM glucose and a 1.2-fold increase at 20 mM glucose. However, there was also a 0.5-fold decrease in sEH protein level for the 50 mM mannitol osmolarity control. These results require further replication. The hypoxia experiment is expected to show higher levels of sEH than the normoxia control and the mRNA expression analyses are underway.
Conclusion and Potential Impact: The results from this study suggest that hyperglycemic conditions can upregulate sEH expression in retinal pigment epithelial cells. Completion of this study will further our understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of DR.
