MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND WATER STATUS OF SOME TUNISIAN BARLEY GENOTYPES SUBMITTED TO WATER STRESS
Authors: Mansouri  , Radhouane
Published: January 2021

Tunisia has been qualified as a country vulnerable to climate change that will be unregistered a great drop of annual rainfall and an increase of evaporation.  Response strategies of agriculture to drought will be critical because drought is one of the major abiotic stresses which adversely affect crop growth and yield. Among strategies to be developed to cope with the effect of climate change, recourse of genetic diversity and new varietal creation can be a solution among other methods. In this study, four barley genotypes were cultivated in semi-controlled conditions and submitted to three levels of water stress.  Data were recorded on number of grain per plant (NGP), one thousand grains weight (PMG), total leaf surface (TLS), plant height (HAT), stomata density (DS), leaf water content (RWC) and leaf water potential (LWP). Results showed that morphological characteristics (HAT, TLS, DS), yield components (NGP, PMG) and water status (LWP, RWC) of barley genotypes were decreased significantly. However, moderate water deficit didn’t affect significantly the most of parameters studied. Study had demonstrated also that barley genotypes developed different strategies and mechanisms to cope with water deficit, based essentially on their osmotic adjustment capacity.

Authors: Zaccaro Antonietta , Bonacaro Antonio
Published: January 2021

The aim of the regional cardiac networks is to offer to those patients affected by Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) the quickest and the most efficient treatment in relation to patients' characteristics and to the place where the event occurs. This article describes the experience developed by the Regional Emergency Medical Service of the Basilicata Region (Italy) in creating such a network. The structure of the network, the epidemiological data along with the different types of pathway used in the management of Non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes are delineated with the aim to offer an overview of the clinical practices actually in place. A retrospective observational study was conducted in 2012 with the aim to understand the incidence of AMI in its various forms: ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and Non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTEACS). The development of the Regional Cardiac Network has been shedding light on AMI and giving patients the chance to receive a customized treatment according to their clinical conditions. Further studies are recommended in order to understand the impact of these practices in terms of reduction of mortality and complications.

Plant damage by pathogenic fungi is often found in plants, one of which is caused by Sclerotium rolfsii. Biological control strategy offers a promising alternative for managing disease in plants because they are environmental friendly compared to pesticides application. One of the biological control offered is by using endophytic fungi isolated from Vitex trivolia L. The aim of the study was to isolate, to identify macroscopic and microscopic endophytic fungi from Vitex trifolia L and to test their antagonism potency against the pathogenic fungus Sclerotium rolfsii in vitro. The isolation obtained 7 endophytic fungi isolates identified based on their genus characteristics, nsmely Periconia sp, Aspergillussp, DendrophomaÃÂ  sp, GeotrichumÃÂ  sp, AmpulliferinaÃÂ  sp, ChalaraÃÂ  sp, dan Bispora sp and 2 isolates have not been identified. The Antibacterial test of the fungi isolate on the 4 tested bacteria showed that of all the fungi isolate have low activity. The antagonism test using the direct opposition method with the PIRG formula, showed that the 3 isolates had high percentage of growth inhibition, in which ALJ1, BLJ5, and ALJ3 isolate has ÃÂ 85%, 90%, and 100% respectively. This potency could be used as biological agents on the pathogenic fungus Sclerotium rolfsii.

Koi fish is one of the freshwater ornamental fish that has an attractive body color, so the color disorder needs attention. The natural feed for pumpkin flour combined with carrot flour in artificial feed aims to improve the color quality of the koi fish. The study used a completely randomized design design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 3 replications so that 15 experimental units were obtained, each experimental unit contained 10 koi fish, and there were 5 treatments; P0 100% Pellets, P1 contains 90% Pellets + 3% LK Flour + TW 7%, P2 contains 90% Pellets + 4% LK Flour + 6% W Flour, P3 contains 90% Pellets + 5% LK Flour + W 5 Flour %, P4 contains 90% Pellets + 6% LK Flour + 4% W Flour. In this study, the highest increase in color value in koi fish occurred in the P4 treatment with the addition of a combination of 6% pumpkin flour and 4% carrot flour. The parameters in the study were the increase in color quality, increase in length and weight of koi fish, SR, and water quality. Observation data were analyzed using analysis of variance (AN0VA).
In vitro Anti‐Inflammatory Potency of Sanguinarine and Chelerythrine via Interaction with Glucocorticoid Receptor
Authors: Zhang Jie , Liang Yuan , Ren Li , Zhang Tiehua
Published: January 2021

As quaternary benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids, sanguinarine and chelerythrine possess multiple biological activities including anti‐inflammatory effects. They have been confirmed to regulate gene expression of inflammatory‐related cytokines at transcription level. This work aims to investigate the glucocorticoid‐like anti‐inflammatory effects of sanguinarine and chelerythrine, which may be mediated by Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR). Firstly, the interactions of GR with sanguinarine and chelerythrine were investigated by fluorescence polarization assay and the result showed that these two alkaloids could bind to GR with potent affinities. Luciferase reporter assay showed that sanguinarine was a weak GR agonist but chelerythrine failed to induce GR transcriptional activation in HeLa cells. These two alkaloids at high concentration showed similar tumor necrosis factor‐α inhibitory potency to dexamethasone in RAW 264.7 cells, indicating their anti‐inflammatory effects in vitro. In addition, the results of molecular docking and dynamics simulations showed that sanguinarine and chelerythrine could bind effectively with GR and might serve as its functional ligands. In conclusion, chelerythrine was speculated to be a selective GR modulator that might exhibit GR‐mediated beneficial actions with reduced side effects.

Authors: Busso Lucia , Combei Claudia Roberta , Tordini Ottavia
Published: January 2021

Using a corpus-based and cross-modal approach, this study explores mediatic linguistic representations of gendered violence. Specifically, we analyse a journalistic corpus (WItNECS, Women in Italian Newspaper Crime Sections) and a multimedia dataset of the Italian TV program Amore Criminale (AC). The corpus is explored via collocational analysis of key terms and topic modelling. AC is investigated with a multimodal analysis of speech and gestures. Finally, we compare similarities and differences of newspaper and television language. Findings from this innovative methodology bring new evidence on the mediatic representation of ‘women as victims’.
The Acceptability of Feminine Job Titles in Italian Newspaper Articles
A Survey Involving Italian Native Speakers
Authors: Castenetto Giorgia , Ondelli Stefano
Published: January 2021

This paper describes a procedure to assess the acceptability of gender-inclusive linguistic structures. Informants were asked to provide an overall linguistic assessment of extracts from newspaper articles while unaware of the final objective of the survey, i.e. eliciting their opinions on the masculine and feminine forms of professions and titles. Although opinions varied, the results show an increase in the acceptability of feminine forms, probably strengthened by their frequent use in the media. Furthermore, those forms provide a solution to the morphological and syntactic inconsistencies considered by the informants as a violation of Italian grammar rules.

Análisis y solución de errores socioculturales a través de mundos virtuales
Authors: Martínez Cabrera Claudia
Published: January 2021

Considerando la evolución de las nuevas tecnologías aplicadas a la enseñanza y la creciente demanda del aprendizaje de español en distintos lugares del mundo, el incremento de la importancia de la educación a distancia es inminente. Sin embargo, la toma de conciencia de los aspectos socioculturales de un país se produce en gran medida al encontrarse físicamente en el mismo. Por estos motivos, en este trabajo describimos una investigación sobre cómo el uso de recursos atractivos, motivadores y adaptados a las nuevas generaciones de aprendices, como son los mundos virtuales, pueden influir positivamente en el desarrollo de los elementos socioculturales en situaciones cotidianas sin necesidad de estar en el propio país hispanohablante. Para ello, se ha propuesto al alumno la interacción en diferentes eventos comunicativos tanto a través de role-play en el aula como de la inmersión lingüística como metodología para poner en práctica sus conocimientos de la lengua en un entorno virtual tridimensional que se asemeja a la vida real. Estas conversaciones han sido analizadas posteriormente a través de categorías, tanto pragmáticas, como propuestas por el Plan curricular del Instituto Cervantes (2006).

Various frequency selective devices manufactured by different technologies are used in modern microwave systems to filtering electromagnetic signals. Planar structures on dielectric substrates find a wide spread in low- and average-level (less than 100 W) power systems. Microwave filters on cavities and waveguides are utilized in high-power systems for these purposes. Waveguide filters are the separate class of perspective functional devices dynamically developing in the present time. Diversity of designs of such filters, techniques of their manufacturing and methods of calculation is quite high. In conjunction with this a review of waveguide microwave filters of different frequency ranges is carried out in the present work. Their classification is proposed. It is shown that waveguide filters are well adapted for operating at different frequencies both in microwave and terahertz ranges. Structures of filters, some methods of their manufacturing and mathematical modeling are analyzed.

Cultural Representation in Primary School ELT Textbooks in Mainland China
Authors: Tang Xiaofei
Published: January 2021

This study aims to conduct a mixed-method analysis of PEP Primary English, a primary school English language teaching textbook series covering eight volumes widely used in Mainland China, to depict its representation of different cultures and explore whether the cultural representation follows the National English Language Curriculum Standard.

The textbook analysis proceeds in three steps. The first step is to develop the criteria of categorising cultural elements presented in PEP Primary English. An adapted version of Kachru’s (1985, 1992) three concentric circles of World Englishes is employed to define cultural categories. The cultural elements in the textbooks are generally grouped into two categories, namely, the local culture and the foreign culture. The local culture includes all the elements in relation to the home country where this textbook series has been published and widely used – China. The foreign culture is subcategorised into 1) the Inner Circle where English is applied as the mother tongue or a primary language due to its traditional historical and sociolinguistic bases over there, such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand; 2) the Outer Circle where English is institutionalised as a lingua frança though it does not serve as the native language, such as India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong SAR; and 3) the Expanding Circle where English is utilised as a primary foreign language but does not play a historical or governmental role, such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Russia.

The second step is to tag those elements presented in the textbooks according to the established criteria of cultural categories; and to calculate their frequency in individual volumes and in the whole textbook series respectively.

The third step is to tabulate the frequency of cultural elements in the textbooks and to compare the features of their representation with the learning requirements for cultural awareness as stated in the National Curriculum.

Introduction. Legg-Calve-Perthes disease is one of the most common avascular necroses in children and adolescents. Aims. Assessment of hip joint development and of the quality of life in conservatively treated patients. Establishing indications for conservative treatment in children with Perthes disease. Materials and methods. The inclusion criterion was the age of affected patients: under 7 years at the time of diagnosis The study population included 50 children (10 girls and 40 boys) in the mean age of 5 years and 1 month. All the children participated in follow up appointments, arranged every 3 months, during which clinical examinations (the range of hip joint motion, limb length) were carried out and radiological parameters (Salter extrusion index, ATD, Wiberg angle) were assessed. All the patients were assessed in the IPSG Modified HOOS-16 Hip Survey. Results. The patients, qualified to group A by the Herring classification, demonstrated less limits in hip joint inward rotation and no length reduction of the affected limb (p<0.05). In the patients with Wiberg angle and Salter extrusion index in the affected joint being similar to their corresponding values on the healthy side, the intensity of pain was lower, assessed in the IPSG Modified HOOS-16 Hip Survey, as well as their functioning in everyday life and in sport and recreation activities was better, thus their general quality of life was higher (p <0.05). Conclusions. Children with Perthes disease, diagnosed before the age of 7, do not usually require surgical intervention. In our study, the radiological evaluation of hip joint development showed complete healing of the proximal femoral epiphysis, while preserving femoral head sphericity and good hip functionality. In general, the quality of life of affected patients does not differ from the quality of life of healthy children. The indication for conservative treatment of children with Perthes disease is their age below 7 years. Then a regular monitoring of the course of physiotherapeutic therapy is required, combined with regular radiological controls and clinical assessments of hip joint motion range.

TMEM150C is a differentially expressed gene in brain metastatic human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: January 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that transmembrane protein 150C, encoded by TMEM150C, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. TMEM150C mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Modulation of TMEM150C expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
Development of updating in working memory in 4-7-year-old children
Authors: Cheng Chen , Kibbe Melissa M.
Published: January 2021

Children live in a dynamic environment, in which objects continually change locations and move into and out of occlusion. Children must therefore rely on working memory to store information from the environment and to update those stored representations as the environment changes. Previous work suggests that the ability to store information in working memory increases through infancy and childhood. However, less is known about the development of the ability to update stored information. Participants were 63 4-7-year-old children (37 girls; 34 caregivers completed optional demographic forms, and those children were reported as Asian (1), Asian/White (4), Black (1), Middle East/Arab (1), or White (27); two were Hispanic/Latinx). We asked children to keep track of arrays of hidden items that either remained where they were hidden (static trials) or swapped locations (swap trials), and then to identify from two alternatives which item was hidden in a particular location. We manipulated the number of items in the arrays and the number of times the items swapped locations in order to investigate how increasing storage and updating load impacted children’s performance. We found that children’s ability to update working memory developed significantly across our age range. Updating appeared to impose a significant one-time cost to working memory performance, regardless of the number of times items swapped. Our results yield new insights into the developmental trajectories of storage and updating in working memory across early childhood.
Commentary: A Computational Theory of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy from the “Bayesian Brain” Perspective
Authors: VERDONK Charles , TROUSSELARD Marion
Published: January 2021

Manjaly and Iglesias (2020) introduce a neurocomputational model of mechanisms through which Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy may work, based on a Bayesian perspective. They claim that mindfulness increases the precision of likelihood, but decreases the precision of prior. In this commentary, we argue that these two mechanisms conflict when describing mindful functioning. We suggest an alternative mechanism – namely the dynamic updating of prior beliefs as a function of context, which contributes to active inference. The moment-to-moment attentional pattern of mindfulness could promote the optimal adjustment of prior beliefs to the context of each present experience.
Open Access Movement: A Probable Solution of Present Crisis in Scholarly Communications
Authors: Panda Subhajit
Published: January 2021

The spirit and philosophy of Open Access are in sync with FAIFE owing to its visible role in sharing intellectual freedom for building information democracy. But with the exponential increase of cost of scholarly research publication and capture of a huge portion of publication industry by for-profit publishers create a void between the research and researcher, information and seeker, educator and learner, query and the solutions. This paper illustrates the hidden cause of this crisis in scholarly communication and gives a brief understanding of total open access movement, from past initiative to future plans. Additionally, this paper thoroughly pointed out the tools and platforms which can be used by educators and researchers to promote this open access movement with great success. The paper reflects the value of open access movement in the way to eliminate the communication gap in terms of scholarly research work.
Revised findings for "Procedural justice training reduces police use of force and complaints against officers"
Authors: Wood George , Tyler Tom , Papachristos Andrew V , Roth Jonathan , Sant'Anna Pedro H. C.
Published: January 2021

Wood et al. (2020) studied the rollout of a procedural justice training program in the Chicago Police Department and found large and statistically significant impacts on complaints and sustained complaints against police officers and police use of force. This document describes a subtle statistical problem that led the magnitude of those estimates to be inflated. We then re-analyze the data using a methodology that corrects for this problem. The re-analysis provides less strong conclusions about the effectiveness of the training than the original study: although the point estimates for most outcomes and specifications are negative and of a meaningful magnitude, the confidence intervals typically include zero or very small effects. On the whole, we interpret the data as providing suggestive evidence that procedural justice training reduced the use of force, but no statistically significant evidence for a reduction in complaints or sustained complaints.

Engineering geological problems of shear and fault zones in Nepal Himalaya
Authors: Sunuwar Subas Chandra
Published: January 2021

Shear zones and faults pose serious engineering geological problems to the development of infrastructures. The problems are related to the contrasting properties of such zones which contain a weak matrix and strong rock fragments. Shear zones and faults are also frequently affected by groundwater.

In this paper an attempt has been made to classify the shear or fault zones from an engineering geological point of view. The geotechnically problematic brittle shear or fault zones are generally sheared, shattered, powdered, or folded. They contain lenticular to angular fragments and randomly orientated rock clasts supported by a soft and weak matrix. They are further divided into clayey and blocky types. Some problems induced by such shear or fault zones in various hydropower and road projects of Nepal are also discussed.
Geology of slopes in the Crocker Range, Sabah, Malaysia
Authors: Tongkul F. , Benedick H. , Chang F. K.
Published: January 2021

Slope failures are frequent occurrences along roads in Malaysia. Not until recently, geological inputs were rarely sought when designing and constructing roads on mountainous areas. This paper highlights the result of a geological study on selected slopes along a major road across Sabah's main mountain range, the Crocker Range, which is comprised mostly of folded Eocene sedimentary rocks. A total of 48 slopes facing potential failure problems were studied. The following four main potential sources of failures were recognised: 1) related to intensely sheared mudstones within a localised fault zone; 2) related to unfavourable orientation of discontinuity planes whereby bedding and joint planes of sandstone beds occur parallel or sub-parallel to the slope face; 3) related to the presence of intensely fractured and sheared sandstone and mudstone beds within a regional fold hinge; and 4) related to the presence of old landslide deposits. The recommendations to stabilise problematic slopes include covering the unstable slope face with concrete or vegetation and cutting back the slopes further.
Mudflows under changing climate in Zailiysky Alatau, Northern Tien Shan
Authors: Yafyazova Roza
Published: January 2021

The influence of climate change on mudflows is evident on the northern slopes of the Zailiysky Alatau Mountain Range. In this area, most of the mudflows occurred during the Riss- Wurm interglacial period whereas they nearly stopped during the Riss and Wurm Ice Ages. The amount of sediment transported by mudflows to the debris cones located on the foothills increased significantly when the summer air temperature increased by 2-3 °C. Under such conditions, dams are ineffective to control mudflows. Hence, for an effective mudflow control strategy, it is necessary to estimate their frequency and magnitude.

Published: January 2021

A comprehensive GIS-based analytical approach was followed to derive a spatial database of landslides and debris flows in the Agra Khola watershed of central Nepal which suffered from the hydrological disaster of 1993. For this purpose, the landslides and debris flows occurring in that area between 1993 and 2006 were delineated. From the database, the influence of geological and geomorphic variables was quantified and a spatial prediction model for landslide and debris flow hazard was worked out. In this process, quantitative statistical analysis (bivariate, multivariate) as applied to predict elements or observations between stable and unstable zones. The predicted results were classified into various hazard levels m a hazard map and were validated by comparing it with the landslide and debris flow distribution map of the Agra Khola watershed. Also the GIS-based hazard prediction model has objectivity in the procedure and reproducibility of the results in the mountainous terrains.
Protecting groundwater from leachate contamination: design of drainage system at Sa Kaeo Landfill, Thailand
Authors: Jaisv Deb P. , Glawe Ulrich , Panthee Suman
Published: January 2021

This study focuses on the design of a drainage layer at the Sa Kaeo LandfiII, Thailand, to effectively isolate its leachate. The leachate thickness build-up in the granular layer of the primary leachate collection and removal system (PLCRS) as well as the geocomposite layer of the secondary leachate collection and removal system (SLCRS) was calculated from the measured values of apparent permeability of gravels and transmissivity of geocomposite, and compression and creep factors of geonet at site-specific boundary conditions. To evaluate the efficiency of granular and geosynthetic drainage materials in terms of leachate isolation, hydraulic safety factors were calculated for four landfill lives (i.e. for 1, 2, 10, and 100 years). The results show that the hydraulic safety factor decreases with a decrease in slope angle, increase in landfill life, and increase in drainage length. The safety factor of the PLCRS for landfill life of 100 years under Module 1 (with a drainage length of 138 m) is 29.0 and 2.2 in coarse and fine gravels (commercial size of 1.905 and 0.318 cm) respectively. This safety factor corresponds to the slope gradient of 0.01 at the worst case of leachate production (when all rainfall enters into the drainage system as leachate). Under Module 2 (with a drainage length of 183 m) the safety factor reduced by 22- 25% in comparison with that of Module 1. Similarly, the safety factor of the SLCRS drastically decreases from 50.4 to 0.8 at a leachate leakage rate of 10% of the maximum rainfall when the land fill life is increased from 1 to 100 years. However, the leachate thickness in the PLRS and SLCRS is less than their saturated thickness in both modules. Hence it is concluded that Module 1 is relatively more efficient than Module 2 at lower slope gradients (i.e. 0.01).
Groundwater quality evaluation for irrigation application in Mandsaur region, Madhya Pradesh, India
Authors: Kulshreshtha Vinita , Dev Pramendra
Published: January 2021

The chemical analysis of 22 water samples collected from representative open dug-wells existing in the Mandsaur area of Madhya Pradesh, India, was carried out for evaluating the quality of irrigation water. For this purpose, its colour, odour, taste, pH, total hardness, electrical conductivity, ionic concentrations, and various other parameters were determined. The calculated values of per cent sodium, Kelley's ratio, sodium adsorption ratio, residual sodium carbonate and magnesium hazard indicate that except at a few places, the groundwater, in general, is suitable for irrigation.

The sodium adsorption ratio and electrical conductivity values were plotted on the U.S. Salinity Diagram. The plots of these parameters indicate that 8 samples fall in CS type (Medium Salinity and Low Sodium hazards), and 14 samples belong to C type (High Salinity and Low Sodium hazards). In general, the groundwater is favourable for irrigation use. The values of electrical conductivity and sodium percentage determined in respect of groundwater samples of Mandsaur were also plotted on the Wilcox Diagram. Based on this diagram, 4 samples represent Excellent to Good categories, whereas 18 samples indicate Good to Permissible categories. Based on this classification the groundwater of Mandsaur area, in general, is suitable for irrigation application.

Published: January 2021

The aim of this article is to re-examine the methodology of ethnographic research vis a vis the influence of methodology on the shaping of ethnology and cultural anthropology as a scientific discipline. Field research, which presupposes the scholar’s active participation and involvement in the life of the group under investigation, as well as the accompanying challenges to such an approach, are here treated as elements that shape the heritage of ethnology, reinforcing its power and securing its place among other disciplines. The author has undertaken the anthropological analysis of excerpts from field notebooks and subjective records by scholars involved in the creation of the Polski Atlas Etnograficzny [Polish Ethnographic Atlas].

This research is an evaluative study with the Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) model. The data analysis technique used in this research is descriptive analysis. The results showed that the West Java NPCI athletes had a fairly good quality. Trainers at NPCI West Java have qualifications as licensed trainers. The organization of the West Java NPCI has been carried out quite well. The facilities and infrastructure in supporting the implementation of the NPCI West Java platda have quite good criteria. The funding of the West Java NPCI platda has been included in the category good enough for athletes and coaches and intensive bonuses for athletes and coaches. The selection of West Java NPCI athletes has been carried out quite well. The West Java NPCI training program is currently carried out quite well through the suitability of the planning program with the implementation and suitability of independent training. The evaluation of the West Java NPCI platda is carried out by the trainer at the end or after each exercise and runs smoothly.
A Simple and Convenient Method to Isolate and Culture Rat Aorta Endothelial Cells
Authors: Meng Fanxing , Li Ruixiang , Meng Fanxing , Zhao Yonggang
Published: January 2021

Aim: Endothelial injury results in vascular disorders. Culture of endothelial cells (ECs) is important to
investigate the pathogenesis of vascular diseases. ECs of rat aorta are widely applied in these researches.
However, there are many problems to isolate them, which make it hard to culture primary ECs. In the present
study, we established a simple and convenient method to isolate and culture rat aorta ECs.
Methods: Two 5ml centrifuge tubes were prepared. An opening (3 mm × 25 mm) was made in one tube
wall while the other was cut in half longitudinally. After the rat aorta was dissected along one side and
attached to the wall of the half tube, the tube with an opening and the half tube with aorta were mated and
secured by a rotund metal clip. Then, ECs were digested via the opening by 0.2% collagenase I at 37℃ for
1 h and identified by immunofluorescence of von Willebrand factor (vWF) and smooth muscle actin (SMA).
Results: A simple method for isolating ECs were established. Cultured ECs exhibited typical “cobblestone”
morphology at confluence. vWF was positively expressed in the ECs, and neither the negative stain of vWF
nor the positive stain of SMA was found.
Conclusion: This simple and convenient method to isolate and culture ECs of rat aorta can be
implemented with readily available 5ml centrifuge tubes and will greatly benefit the research of
vascular diseases.
