Objective: To assess biceps brachii and erector spinae muscular oxygen saturation (SmO2) by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), during 10 minutes of resuscitation at simulated altitudes of 600, 3000 and 5000 m before and after carrying out a simulation program for adaptation to hypoxia. Performing and maintaining a good-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at higher altitudes may pose a significant challenge to resuscitators due to decrease in arterial oxygen saturation. This fact adversely effects the quality of resuscitation.
Methods: Participants performed 10 minutes of CPR on a mannequin in the laboratory in environments that simulated altitudes. Subsequently, a standardized altitude conditioning protocol was carried out using intermittent hypoxia. The participants performed CPR again under the conditions and altitudes previously referred to.
Results: Initial heart rate (HR) at 5000 > 3000 m, and both > 600 m. HR at each altitude was higher conditioning at the end of CPR. The SmO2 of both muscles showed no differences at the beginning and at the end of CPR and was higher in both muscles after the conditioning program before and at the end of CPR. In both muscles, SmO2 values before and after conditioning show a slightly increasing trend during CPR.
Conclusion: NIRS use allows developing an optimum training plan. The rescuer will know his limits and optimize his performance. The improvement in physical performance and recovery capacity induced by intermittent hypoxia conditioning programs increases the quality of CPR in prolonged cardiac arrests and in adverse conditions, such as at high altitudes.

Objective: Road traffic injuries (RTIs) have been recognized globally as an important public health problem. Effective road safety initiatives should address the traffic system as a whole to find a solution and look at the traffic system as a collective to discuss interactions between vehicles, road users and road infrastructure. Therefore, epidemiological data from different geographies of the country should be available. Hence, an electronic-based comprehensive and integrated RTI surveillance system was established in five centres located across the country to assess the burden of RTIs, including the outcome.
Methods: This paper is a cross-sectional multi-centric study conducted using an electronic-based comprehensive and integrated RTI surveillance system.
Results: A total of 15,319 participants were enrolled under the surveillance of road traffic events for a period of one year. Self-fall/skid was the most common (34.87%) type of accident, followed by a crash between two vehicles (25.77%) and a crash with a pedestrian (16.59%). Among them, 88.94% were the injured, who were alive with or without rehabilitation, and 673 (4.43%) were dead. Mostly, two-wheelers (geared or non-geared) were involved in the accident as they shared a significant portion (75.54%) of the total accidents.
Conclusion: The study highlights the epidemiological issues related to road accidents and RTIs that need to be addressed in order to find appropriate solutions for reducing the RTI burden. It gives an understanding of the manner of trauma, the pattern of injuries, and the outcome of road traffic accidents required to adopt efficient preventive and comprehensive trauma care.

Published: November 2024

Diaphragmatic hernia is a rare condition that can result from blunt or penetrating trauma. It is often asymptomatic for years, making diagnosis challenging. In fact, up to 66% of diaphragmatic ruptures can go unnoticed at the time of trauma. Delayed diagnosis can lead to complications, including faecopneumothorax. Faecopneumothorax caused by strangulated diaphragmatic hernia is an extremely rare clinical condition.
We report the case of a 15-year-old Iranian female who had a history of a motor vehicle accident 1 year prior to being referred to our center. She presented with tension faecopneumothorax, which occurred due to the incarceration and strangulation of the large bowel in the thoracic cavity. the patient was urgently transferred to the operating room for exploratory surgery.
In patients presenting with symptoms of pulmonary or intestinal obstruction and a history of thoracoabdominal injury, the clinician should consider diaphragmatic hernia as a potential diagnosis. Prompt recognition of this condition is crucial as complications can significantly increase morbidity and mortality rates.

Authors: Hasanzadeh Malihe , Safarkar Roya
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Ulcerative colitis, also known as intestinal colitis, is a relatively common and chronic condition characterized by inflammation of the large intestine. This disorder falls under the category of inflammatory bowel diseases and shares notable similarities with Crohn's disease The large intestine is responsible for extracting nutrients from undigested food while expelling waste through the rectum or anus in the form of feces Humans are almost identical in their genetic sequence, but small differences in our DNA lead to tremendous phenotypic diversity among the human population. The various types of microbial communities and their genetic material (the microbiome) present in the human body play a crucial role in health and disease. Numerous studies have established a link between ulcerative colitis and the human microbiome.
Conclusion: Changes in the microbiome's diversity can be one of the reasons for the development of ulcerative colitis. Investigating the relationship between the microbiome and ulcerative colitis can suggest new treatment methods such as stool transplantation.

This research investigates the effects of utilizing dune sand from the Algerian Sahara, a widely available material, as a partial replacement for traditional construction sand on essential physical properties that influence concrete durability. To evaluate the concrete's performance, physical properties such as permeability, capillary absorption, and sound velocity were measured. Construction sand from the Sidi Slimane area was combined with dune sand from the Taibet region in varying proportions (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%). Findings revealed that higher dune sand percentages positively affected dynamic acoustic test results by filling void spaces with fine particles, thereby enhancing concrete density and impermeability, which restricts water movement. Permeability tests showed reduced water infiltration with increased dune sand content, reflecting a decrease in void presence. However, capillary absorption rose with higher dune sand levels due to its capillary behavior. The influence of increasing dune sand content on absorption rates was evident, with increments of around 5.38%, 11.21%, 18.38%, and 25.11% relative to CSD0 concrete, after 48 hours of testing for CSD5, CSD10, CSD15, and CSD20, respectively. Consequently, each 5% addition of dune sand resulted in an approximate increase in absorbed water mass by 5.38%, 5.83%, 7.17%, and 6.72%, respectively. Overall, the mixture containing 20% dune sand significantly improved the acoustic and permeability properties, contributing to concrete durability, while formulations without dune sand displayed favorable capillary absorption results due to existing voids.
Quando o santo lhe pega: Umbanda, mediunidade e processos educacionais
Authors: Sousa Igor Filipe , Ferreira do Nascimento Raimundo Nonato
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo objetiva analisar processos educacionais em um Terreiro de Umbanda localizado na zona sul de Teresina-PI. Para isso, partimos de uma concepção ampliada de educação, como um processo vivo e comunitário, salientando que acontece onde a vida estiver, acontecendo em todos os lugares. Nesse sentido, percebemos que o terreiro de umbanda é um importante espaço de vivências educativas, pois a sua prática religiosa está assentada no corpo e centralizada na incorporação, o que depende de um aprendizado denominado desenvolvimento mediúnico sendo, portanto, uma importante ação educativa. Optamos pela etnografia para esse estudo, pois, tal abordagem, possibilita mostrar os processos educacionais a partir de dentro e desde a perspectiva dos interlocutores. Assim, percebemos a Umbanda enquanto um espaço de vivência religiosa e educacional, tendo uma ecologia de saberes, que desemboca no par sabenças-gestos, ou mirongas-mandingas, o que colabora para a formação e desenvolvimento da pessoa umbandista, num processo gradual que pode levar anos, semelhante ao “catar folhas”.

Authors: Christiansen Hanne Hvidtfeldt , Mortensen Lis Elinborg
Published: November 2024

Surrounded by the North Atlantic Drift the terrestrial environment of Faroe Islands is an ideal place to study climatic changes caused by oscillations in the North Atlantic Drift. The high relief of the Faroes enables the study of the altitudinal climate gradient. Close to sea level the climate is cool temperate or subarctic, grading into a low arctic climate around 200 m asl. To initiate collection of data representing the mountain meteorology the first meteorological station above 300 m asl was established at the Sornfelli mountain measuring at 722 m asl in 1999. The Somfelli meteorological station is based on innovative technology with the instruments only periodically exposed from a heated cylinder, protecting them from strong winds and icing conditions.
The station is operated automatically with modem access. The Sornfelli meteorological station has proved successfull achieving 95% data coverage in 2000. Mean annual air temperature (MAAT) in 2000 at Sornfelli was 1.71°C. Mean annual wind speed was 6.5 m/s. Dominating wind directions were from southwest, southeast and north. The annual mean lapse rate between Sornfelliand the coast was -0.0077°C/m.

Published: November 2024

Objective: This study aimed to examine the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and adult separation anxiety symptoms. Method: The sample of the study consisted of a total of 332 undergraduate students, 196 female (60.9%) and 126 male (39.1%), who were studying in Western Türkiye. The participants were between the age of 18-30 years (M=21.05, SD=1.58). Young Schema Scale-Short Form-3, Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire, Psychological Resilience Scale for Adults and Sociodemographic Form were applied.
Results: There is a significant positive relationship between impaired autonomy (r=.46), disconnection (r=.23), other-directedness (r=.28) and unrelenting standards (r=.28) schema domains and adult separation anxiety symptoms. Female participants have higher separation anxiety symptoms than males. According to the mediation analyses in which gender was controlled, self-perception which is one of the sub-dimensions of resilience has a mediator role between disconnection (β= .06 BC 95% CI [.03-.09]), other-directedness (β=.05 BC 95% CI [.01-.10]) and high standards and symptoms of adult separation anxiety. Additionally, it has been concluded that another sub-dimension of resilience, social resources, has a suppressive effect on the relationship between impaired autonomy (β=-.02 BC 95% CI [-.04,-.00]) and disconnection (β=-.06 BC 95% CI [-.12,-.01]) schema domains and symptoms of adult separation anxiety.
Conclusion: It can be stated that psychological resilience has a protective role against the negative effects of early maladaptive schemas on adult separation anxiety symptoms.

Method: The Turkish version of MICA-v4 was administered to 249 healthcare workers, including medical students, nurses, and physicians, and responses were collected in sealed envelopes. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA and CFA) were employed to assess the structural validity of the scale. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were calculated to demonstrate reliability. The Beliefs Toward Mental Illness scale (BTMI) was used to assess criterion-related validity.
Results: EFA yielded a three-factor solution explaining 53.88% of the total variance. Subscales were named MICA-Care (attitudes towards health/social care and views on mental illnesses), MICA-Stereotypes (stereotypes about mental illnesses), and MICA-Social interaction (social interactions with individuals with mental illnesses). Item factor loadings ranged from 0.469 to 0.852. Model fit indices calculated through CFA were at an acceptable level. The scale demonstrated good internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.774. Significant correlations were observed between MICA scores and BTMI scale scores.
Conclusion: The findings of the study indicate that the Turkish version of MICA-v4 is valid and reliable. It is considered a useful tool for studies addressing stigma towards mental illnesses among healthcare workers in Türkiye.

Authors: Vu Huyen Thi Thu , Tan Chai Ching , Tran Hao Thi , Thuyen Trinh Duy
Published: November 2024

This study aims to identify the extent to which the staff believes the factors influencing problem-solving competencies among school administrators and to relate these beliefs to the perceived problem-solving competence of the administrators based on the perceptions among staff. This study designed a survey method that involved 731 teachers and administrators from various schools in the Central and Highlands areas, Ho Chi Minh City and the Southeast and Southwest Regions in Vietnam to accomplish these purposes. Structural equation modeling in the data analysis yields a robust model fit advocated by the socio-psychological theory of belief-behavior linkage. The conclusion is that the internal environment and the efforts made to develop science, technology and international collaborations have a significantly positive relationship in explaining the problem-solving competency of school administrators. However, the existing state of the external environment severely affects the problem-solving ability of school administrators. Improvements must be made to the facilities and equipment of the schools, the working conditions and the financial resources. Theoretical implications include environment-person fit, resource-based advantage, and development psychology which broaden the understanding of problem-solving abilities. School administrators should have a practical framework emphasizing the internal and external environments and procedural and investment-focused qualities.

Meta‐Study on Sulphur Supply and Fertilisation of Crop Species in Organic Farming of Central Europe— Part 2: Effects of S Concentration and N:S Ratio of Different Age Plant Material on DM Yield, N-Uptake, and Legume N2 Fixation
Authors: Kolbe Hartmut
Published: November 2024

The sulphur content of the atmosphere has fallen sharply in recent decades. Due to a reduction in plant nutrition with sulphur, this has also led to a drop in the S concentrations in certain plant species over time. As a result, a lot of experimental work was carried out to remedy the emerging yield and quality deficiencies on the farms. In this summarized study, data from 98 sites in Central Europe were recorded from 1998 to 2023 received from sulphur fertiliser trials carried out on farms and experimental stations under organic farming conditions. This second part of meta-analysis focuses on establishing relationships between the status of plant nutrient supply with sulphur and DM yield responses, the nitrogen uptake of crop species and the extent of N2 fixation in legumes. Results of regression analyses based on the effect of the S concentrations and the N:S ratios of the crop species on the relative yield differences between 851 standard variants (=100%) and 1177 sulphur treatment variants. In principle, declining yield increases were determined as a result of increasing S concentrations and decreasing N:S ratios. Except in the case of grain legume young plants, both characteristics were suitable for determining corresponding limit values for yield formation. Different values were determined depending on the plant species and harvest material. In extensive comparative analyses and discussion with literature data, minimum sulphur concentrations and maximum values for N:S ratios for young plants, vegetative harvest material (straw) and grain materials are proposed to ensure optimum yields of permanent grassland, lucerne-clover-grass, grain legumes and cereals for use in practice of agricultural systems of different intensities.

Assessing Ecological Quality of A Stream Using Trait-Based Phytoplankton Approach
Authors: İpek Süleyman , Maraşlıoğlu Faruk
Published: November 2024

The aim of this inquiry was to evaluate the efficacy of the Q(r) index, designed for river environments and applied for the first time to Turkish rivers, in delineating the water quality of the Çorum Stream. We were also intrigued by deducing the primary pollutants via trait-oriented phytoplankton community analysis and evaluating the functional categories that impact the final estimations of the Q(r) index. Monthly collection of environmental parameters and phytoplankton samples were conducted at six locations (St1‒St6). Despite seasonal variations, “good” water quality was generally found in upstream (St1, St2), where slow-flowing and mesotrophic conditions prevailed. In midstream (St3, St4), “-poor” water quality was observed during the spring–autumn, while “moderate” water quality was recorded in dowmnstream (St5, St6) throughout the year. While St3 and St4 exhibited elevated organic matter levels and eutrophic conditions, St5 and St6 demonstrated increased flow rates and mixed water characteristics. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) highlighted that DO, Temp, TP and o-PO4 emerged as the primary environmental factors affecting phytoplankton communities in the Çorum Stream (p < 0.05). In the phytoplankton community, Bacillariophyta became the dominant division, constituting 44.3% of the total abundance and comprising 46 taxa. Lepocinclis ovum, Euglenaformis proxima, and Ulnaria ulna were determined as the most dominant species among phytoplanktonic taxa of the Çorum Stream. Some FGs (W1, MP, TC) being linked to high Q(r) values, their dominance influenced water quality estimation performed by the Q(r). We conclude that the Q(r) index proved effective in evaluating the lotic water ecosystems.

Published: November 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to quantify the impact of resistance training on muscle strength, muscle mass, and physical function in elderly individuals with sarcopenia and to investigate the dose‒response relationships between resistance training andgrip strength, the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), and the short physical performance battery (SPPB).
Design: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of intervention studies.
Data sources: A comprehensive search was performed in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and WANFANG databases.
Eligibility criteria for study selection: We included randomized controlled trials of resistance training in sarcopenic patients aged 60 years or older who reported at least one measure of muscle strength.
Results: Resistance training significantly increasedgrip strength (SMD = 0.58) and short physical performance battery (SPPB) scores (SMD = 0.56) but had a small effect on the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) (SMD = 0.24). The dose‒response analysis of resistance training parameters indicated that the duration and frequency of training moderately influenced grip strength. A training period of 24 weeks (SMD = 0.844) and a frequency of two sessions per week (SMD = 0.733) were most effective for enhancing grip strength.
Conclusions: Our meta-analysis confirms the efficacy of resistance training in enhancing grip strength, the SMI, and SPPB in elderly individuals with sarcopenia. The dose‒response relationships suggest that training frequency, number of sets, and repetitions are crucial for improving these outcomes. It is recommended that sarcopenic individuals engage in a resistance training program consisting of 2–3 sessions per week, with each session including 2–3 sets of 8–12 repetitions.

Leprosy, a chronic infectious disease caused mainly by Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae), is still an important public health problem in countries such as Brazil and India. Here, we estimate key epidemiological parameters in the Prata Village, a unique, hyper-endemic, former leprosy colony isolated in the Brazilian Amazon. This is a population-based study in which the entire Prata Village population has been enrolled. Clinical, socioeconomic, and demographic data were obtained and cross-checked using three independent information sources. Validated data was used for descriptive epidemiological analysis. From a total of 2,005 inhabitants by the time of the enrollment, 1,084 (56.19%) were born in the Village and, therefore, likely under lifelong exposure to leprosy cases. We observed differences between the sub-populations born and not born in the village in the cumulative prevalence of leprosy (5.9% vs. 22.9%, respect.) and the age at diagnosis (15 years vs. 28 years, respect.). In contrast, there was no difference in the distribution of cases between the two sexes. Although extrapolating our findings to more open populations must be done carefully, we believe we used a unique population as a model to provide additional insights into the epidemiology of leprosy.

OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to investigate the mechanism of Erzhi Pill in treating diabetic nephropathy (DN) using network pharmacology and molecular docking, with animal experiments providing additional validation.
METHODS: Initially, the molecular basis and potential mechanisms of Erzhi Pill were examined through network pharmacology, followed by molecular docking between its core components and key potential targets to corroborate the network pharmacology findings. These results were then validated through experimental approaches.
RESULTS: Network pharmacology analysis and HPLC fingerprinting identified Specnuezhenide and wedelolactone as primary components, demonstrating effective binding between the core components and key targets, thus confirming the predictions. In vivo experiments revealed that Erzhi Pill markedly improved blood glucose, lipid profiles, insulin resistance, and kidney function in db/db mice, while also reversing renal cell pathological changes. Transcriptomics and proteomics analyses of KEGG-enriched differential proteins suggested that the preventive and therapeutic effects of Erzhi Pill on DN may operate through AGE-RAGE, PPAR, and other related signaling pathways.
CONCLUSION: Overall, the combined findings from network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental validation elucidate the mechanism by which Erzhi Pill inhibits renal fibrosis in DN.
PMSM Sensorless Control Based on the IAORLS-Optimized Super-Twisting Algorithm Sliding Mode Observer
Authors: Zhang Hui , Ran Peng , Zhang Zehua
Published: November 2024

This paper addresses the chattering issue commonly associated with the sliding mode observer (SMO) algorithm in sensorless control of surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) and the problem of parameter variation caused by magnetic saturation and temperature rise during motor operation. A novel information acquisition optimized recursive least squares (IAORLS) algorithm, which incorporates an IAO-optimized forgetting factor, is proposed to identify motor parameters. The identified parameters are utilized in conjunction with the Super Twisting Algorithm Sliding Mode Observer (STA-SMO) for motor control. By discretizing the stator voltage equations of the PMSM via the forward Euler method, IAORLS enables efficient parameter identification. These parameters are then integrated into the STA-SMO, allowing the observer to receive real-time updates, thereby preventing performance degradation due to parameter mismatches. Additionally, the method reduces chattering when the motor’s back electromotive force (EMF) is observed, improving the accuracy of rotor position and speed estimation. Simulations and experimental results confirm the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed approach.

Information on population structure and diversity in cattle breeds is critical for understanding environmental adaptation, aswell as optimal utilisation of genetic resources and breed improvement. In this study, we investigated at the genomic level thepopulation structure, genetic diversity and admixture of the local Gudali breed and its crossbred with the Italian Simmental(Simgud) in three agroecological zones of Cameroon. A total of 717 Gudali and 139 Simgud were genotyped using the GGPBovine 100K array and analyzed together with reference breed data from public databases. PCA and admixture analysisseparated European Bos taurus from Asian Bos indicus, African Bos taurus and African Bos indicus breeds. These analyses showed that, except for recently admixed cattle, all African indigenous breeds are either pure African Bos taurus (N’Dama)or admixtures of African Bos taurus and Bos indicus. Analysis revealed ancient admixture from Asian origin in Gudali and amore recent and ongoing European introgression. Simgud is an admixed population of 25% and 50% Simmental proportion. Differentiation analysis showed that Gudali and Simgud have high genetic diversity (He=0.34 and He=0.41) respectively.Inbreeding measures based on the FIS coefficient were 0.03 for Gudali and 0.07 for Simgud. A general decline in effectivepopulation size was observed in Gudali from a large population 959 generations ago. This is not surprising given breedingefforts throughout the (period here) that involved introduction of Simmental genetics. This has affected the effective populationsize of Gudali, despite the general increase in cattle population in the ranches over that period. These results highlight theneed for a structured breeding program in Cameroon for improving productivity, while maintaining a large genetic base of thepure Gudali population.

This study investigates the interactions between black soldier fly (BSF) larvae (Hermetia illucens) and foodborne pathogens, specifically Salmonella spp and Escherichia coli (E. coli), to assess their impact on larval growth, welfare, and bioconversion efficiency. BSF larvae were reared on substrates inoculated with varying combinations of these pathogens and compared to a control group. Results indicated that larvae exposed to individual treatments of Salmonella spp or E. coli exhibited significantly slower growth rates, achieving only about half the weight of control larvae by Day 9. Notably, Salmonella spp exposure shortened the larval stage while prolonging the prepupal stage, suggesting metabolic stress. In contrast, the combination of both pathogens enhanced bioconversion rates, indicating complex microbial interactions that may benefit waste processing. The dynamics of pathogen persistence revealed that E. coli remained detectable in substrates for up to nine days, while Salmonella spp was only present for three days, highlighting the larvae's potential to mitigate pathogen levels in organic waste. Despite the resilience of BSF larvae to varying microbial loads, exposure to these pathogens negatively affected adult emergence rates, raising concerns about population sustainability and overall health. These findings underscore the importance of optimizing rearing conditions and implementing stringent quality control measures to minimize pathogen risks in BSF production systems.

Authors: Shah Rehan
Published: November 2024

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and the booming cryptocurrency market have triggered an unprecedented demand for GPUs, resulting in significant price inflation and limited accessibility to these crucial computational resources. This paper proposes the development of a decentralised Global GPU Network (GGN) by harnessing the underutilised GPU power of mobile devices, offering a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional GPU computing models. By leveraging the vast, idle computational resources of smartphones and tablets, the GGN aims to democratise access to GPU power, making high-performance computing more accessible to a broader audience. Through extensive benchmarking and performance analysis, we evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the GGN compared to conventional GPU solutions, demonstrating significant cost reductions while maintaining competitive performance levels. Additionally, the GGN model addresses current disparities in revenue distribution within the digital ecosystem, promoting a more equitable and sustainable framework for computational resource allocation. This paper discusses the technical challenges, potential applications, and economic implications of deploying the GGN, highlighting its potential to revolutionise the landscape of GPU computing.

Background
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a more severe subtype of Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) play a central role in NASH. Single-cell and spatial transcriptomic technologies have revealed that MDMs react to niche-specific and inflammatory signals to differentiate into Monocyte-derived Kupffer cells (MoKCs) or hepatic lipid-associated macrophages (LAMs)/CCR2+ lipid-associated macrophages (C-LAMs). However, we still lack further descriptions of specific subsets of hepatic macrophages in different MASH models.
Methods
Two MASH models were established by either giving a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet for 4 weeks or a high-fat‒fructose‒cholesterol (HFFC) diet for 16 weeks. Liver tissues were collected for pathological analyses with hematoxylin and eosin, Oil Red O and F4/80 staining. The expression of lipid metabolism enzymes and inflammatory cytokines were detected using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT‒qPCR). Flow cytometry was utilized to analyze the composition of isolated hepatic macrophages.
Results
Our study revealed that after a HFFC diet or MCD diet feeding, two MASH models presented opposite changes in the FFA synthesis pathway. The MCD and HFFC diets induce the same alternation in the composition of hepatic macrophages characterized by a decrease in Embryo-derived Kupffer cells (EmKCs) and a concomitant increase in MDMs. However, the composition of the KC pool differed between MCD- and HFFC-fed mice. The MCD diet induced a greater loss of EmKCs, accompanied by more recruited monocytes. HFFC-fed mice contain more MoKCs than MCD-fed mice, whereas MCD-fed mice have more C-LAMs and LAMs than HFFC-fed mice.
Conclusions
MCD- and HFFC-fed mice have a different composition of KC pool
