Effect of Corn Silk Aqueous Extract on Brown Adipose Tissue of Embryos and Neonates of Diabetic Pregnant Mice
Authors: Al-Qudsi Fatma , Alsudairi Dema 
Published: November 2021

Context:
Many congenital malformations are seen increasingly, due to diabetic mothers causing a burden on health systems. Corn silk (CS) extract has been used as a natural hypoglycemic treatment. However, its teratogenic safety was not studied.

Aims:
Therefore, in this study, we examine the effect of CS aqueous extract on fetuses, offspring of normal and diabetic female mice treated with CS aqueous extract.

Settings and Design:
Pregnant female mice were divided into two groups diabetic and nondiabetic. Then, each of these groups was divided into control and treated.

Subjects and Methods:
A daily dose of 4 g/kg of CS aqueous extract was given orally to the treated groups, control groups were given distilled water. The collection of samples was at day 16.5 of pregnancy, and neonates. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) in the sections of the preserved sample was examined.

Statistical Analysis Used:
BAT areas were measured from 10 samples of each treatment age group in 2 sections. Data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA, then, two-independent sample test (Mann–Whitney) was done to test the significance of differences between groups.

Results:
The BAT areas were negatively affected by diabetes and the extract. Both the extract and diabetes caused an increase in fat accumulation in the adipocytes with varying degrees.

Conclusions:
This study showed for the first time to our knowledge that the use of CS aqueous extract during pregnancy affected BAT organization and area, and that the used dose did not decrease the malformations caused by diabetes. More studies with different doses should be investigated.

Context and Aim:
A plethora of studies have revealed that there is a lack of general consensus in the precise anatomic detailing of the canals and the major foramen in both the maxillary and mandibular teeth while emphasizing the significance of the same for a successful endodontic treatment. The aim of the present study was to determine the variations in canal morphology, shapes, and positions of major foramen in maxillary and mandibular teeth.

Materials and Methods:
In the present study, 420 extracted human maxillary and mandibular teeth with completely formed apices were included. The specimens were cleaned for surface debris including remnants of periodontal tissue and were stored in saline. Examination of the apices was performed with the help of stereomicroscope for their exact shapes and configurations and precise anatomic location. Comparison of different parameters within the group was done using Chi-square test while P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:
The results of the present study indicated that apical foramen in mandibular teeth showed higher degree of deviation with a prevalence of 70.2% while flat shape of apical foramen was observed only in maxillary teeth. Furthermore, maximum deviation in maxillary teeth was recorded in the canines with a prevalence of 90% while, in mandibular teeth, maximum deviation was recorded with mandibular second premolars with a prevalence of 79.12%.

Conclusions:
The results of the present study revealed that deviation of apical foramen from the root apex was seen in 68.2% of the specimens. Furthermore, deviation was greater in the mandibular than the maxillary teeth.

Published: November 2021

Context:
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a challenging neurodegenerative disease, and Vitamin D was proved to have neuroprotective effects.

Aim:
This study was conducted to evaluate the potential neuroprotective effects of Vitamin D3 supplementation on AlCl3-induced AD rat model in different hippocampal subregions (CA1, CA2, and CA3). It also aimed to compare the protective effects of protective versus therapeutic effects of Vitamin D3 regiments on the number of degenerated neurons and the neuronal layer thickness.

Materials and Methods:
Twenty-four adult male Albino Wister rats were sorted into GI: control; GII: AlCl3-AD model (100 mg/kg) orally for 42 days; GIII: Rats were co-treated with AlCl3 (as GII) and Vitamin D3 (400 IU/kg/day) orally for 42 days; GIV: Rats were treated with AlCl3 for 42 days then with Vitamin D3 for further 2 weeks. Sagittal sections (5 μ) from paraffin-processed brains previously fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin were stained with hematoxylin and eosin to evaluate the thickness and number of degenerated neurons in the hippocampal CA1, CA2, and CA3 subregions.

Statistical Analysis:
The results of this study were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and analyzed by using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 23 (IBM SPSS, IBM Corp., Armonk, N.Y., USA). P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:
Vitamin D3 supplementations modulated the degenerative changes observed in the hippocampus of AD rat model. In all hippocampal subregions, the thickness was higher in rats treated with Vitamin D3 after the AD induction than rats treated with Vitamin D3 during AD induction. However, this increase was only significant in CA2. Comparison of the number of degenerated neurons between both groups treated with Vitamin D3 revealed that in CA1, the number of degenerated neurons did not statistically differ between the two groups. However, it was insignificantly lower in CA2 in rats treated with Vitamin D3 after the AD induction, and in CA3, it was insignificantly lower in rats treated with Vitamin D3 during the AD induction.

Conclusions:
Vitamin D3 was found to be effective in ameliorating histological and morphometric alterations in AlCl3-induced AD in rat model and could be proposed as both preventive and therapeutic supplements in high-risk AD patients.

IntroductionThe direction of the causal link between solid cancers and elevated plasma vitamin B<sub>12</sub> (B<sub>12</sub>) remains uncertain.Material and methodsWe retrospectively included patients having two B<sub>12</sub> measurements with a B<sub>12</sub> initially ≥ 1000 ng/l and a solid cancer diagnosed between the measurements. Patients were included in the Curative or Supportive group according to their treatments.ResultsB<sub>12</sub> changes over time differed among groups (<i>p</i> = 0.001): +157.4 ng/L/month in the Supportive care group versus -171.6 ng/L/month in the Curative care group.ConclusionsThe decrease of plasma B<sub>12</sub> in cases of curative care could suggest that this B<sub>12</sub> elevation is secondary to solid cancers.

Gender, Regulation Efficiency and Informal Employment in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Akande Rashidat Sumbola , Kareem Hauwa K. K. Abdul , Sulaimon Taofeekat T 
Published: November 2021

Regulation efficiency is essential in addressing the growing informal sector in developing countries because informality thrives with an inefficient legal and regulatory framework of an economy. This paper, therefore, seeks to explore the effect of regulations on informal employment across a panel of 36 sub-Saharan Africa from 2005 to 2018. The study includes both the business and labour aspects of regulation to analyse the effect. The fixed effect and GMM method of panel regression analysis was adopted to achieve the objective of the study. The result suggests that an increase in labour regulation efficiency is associated with a reduction in informal employment while there exists no significant relationship between efficient business regulation and informal employment. The study further investigates how the outcomes affect both genders and the output. The study suggests that efficient labour regulation is gender-specific, as the result is only consistent for the male. It is therefore imperative to incorporate more female gender-specific incentives in the social and labour regulations to compensate for the imbalance of social roles of women that may affect their choice to work in the formal or informal sector.
Arabic-8 The Significans of Semantics in the form of Derived Verbs in the Holy Quran
Authors: Akram Aliya 
Published: November 2021

Arabic Language being the most significant among the Semitic Languages, is still growing due to its dynamic nature, letters are added to the tri-literal root verbs (الفعل الثلاثي المجرد) to increase the different aspects of meanings to original verbs. This increase may be in the form of Prefixes, Suffixes, and infixes and their meaning can be changed from transitive to intransitive. This article handles such transitions in the form of the verbs and its effects on the Meaning of the verbs in the Holy Quran. Hamza is among the additions that follow the verb and make it more transgressive. The form ((أفعل is made by prefixing hamza (أ) with Fatha to the root form (فعل), for example:

خرج - To go out أخرج - To drive out
نزل - To descend أنزل - To bring out

1H-Pyrrole, Furan, and Thiophene Molecule Corrosion Inhibitor Behaviors
Authors: AHMED Lana , OMER Rebaz 
Published: November 2021

The corrosion inhibitor behaviors of the molecules 1H-Pyrrole, Furan, and Thiophene were examined using the computational quantum method. The density functional theory (DFT) was applied to the 6-31G (d, p) basis set, parameters such as the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital (EHOMO), the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (ELUMO), the energy difference (ΔE) and the dipole moment (μ) were calculated. These parameters are correlated with the corrosion effects of organic compounds that are mainly investigated in molecular geometry and electronics. Besides, the chemical hardness (ɳ), softness (σ), electronegativity (χ) have been determined. The transmitted electrons fraction (ΔN), have been determined between cupper surface and the 1H-Pyrrol, Furan and the Thiophene molecule. The parameters that have a direct relation with inhibition efficiency are described.
According to the obtained results, it can be said that 1H-Pyrrole inhibitor provides a good inhibition activity which can be used as a good anti-corrosion agent. There is an inverse relationship between the transmitted electrons fraction (ΔN) and electronegativity (χ) of inhibitor. The behavior of the corrosion inhibitor can therefore be predicted without an experimental analysis.
Tien jaar mediation in de strafrechtelijke jurisprudentie

Ten years of mediation in criminal case law
This article is an analysis of about 350 decisions of Dutch criminal courts since mediation was introduced as an instrument in criminal law (art. 51h of the Dutch criminal code). It appears that mediation not only benefits the offender in terms of reduction of punishment, but also has significant effects on other aspects of the domain of criminal justice. For example on complaints about the decision of the Public Prosecutor not to prosecute a suspect, the eligibility of the Public Prosecutor in a criminal procedure, claims for compensation of the victim, compensation for damage of the offender being in preventive custody, and costs of the offender for a lawyer to defend him in a criminal procedure. Although much progress can be made in applying mediation in criminal procedures, it is concluded that mediation is now an important form of restorative justice in the Dutch criminal justice system.
Torsional response of a bisymmetric structure induced by bending–torsion interaction in vertical members
Authors: Kohiyama Masayuki , Yokoyama Hiroki , Maki Shiori 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThe biaxially symmetric column induces torsional moment owing to the bending–torsion interaction when the top of the column is given horizontal displacement in the two directions of the principal axes of the cross section and the rotation of the column ends around the axes is constrained. Hence, horizontal ground motions in two directions can cause non‐negligible torsional vibration in a high‐rise building owing to autoparametric resonance. To investigate this phenomenon, in this study, we focus on a single‐story structure with an aggregated column, which is a model for columns or core structures in tall buildings and is assumed to be an elastic Euler beam; subsequently we derive the equations of motion under horizontal ground motions in two directions. The resonance condition in the torsional direction is also investigated. Time‐series response analyses are performed for input ground motions of harmonic waves, white noise, acceleration records of prior earthquakes, and a long‐period design wave, and the relationship between the ratio of two translational natural frequencies and the increase in maximum responses is explained. The results demonstrate that the absolute acceleration response to the long‐period design wave could increase by more than 50% in the worst‐case scenario.
