Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background
The therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may be partly attributed to their secretion growth factors, cytokines and chemokines. In various preclinical studies, the use of MSC-conditioned media (CM) has demonstrated promising potential for promoting vascular repair.
Methods
To gain a comprehensive understanding of the variations in conditioned media derived from different sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) including umbilical cord, adipose and bone marrow, we investigated their reparative effects on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) subjected to damage induced by high glucose. Initially, the secreted proteins from the three types of MSCs were assessed using the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) method. Subsequently, we examined the influence of different type of MSC secreted proteins on the proliferation of HUVECs under high glucose conditions. Following this, transwell migration experiments were conducted to evaluate the impact of MSC source on the migration of HUVECs damaged by high glucose. We further compared the effects of adding secreted proteins from the three types of MSCs on the tube formation ability of HUVECs subjected to high glucose damage. Finally, tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling quantitative proteomics was performed to analyze differently expressed proteins in the secreted proteins of three type MSC by using LC-MS/MS.
Results
In this study, we observed a significantly higher secretion of proteins from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UMSCs) compared to adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Subsequently, we found that the of proliferation HUVECs was significantly improved with supplementing the three MSCs secreted proteins under high glucose medium. Notably, the reparative effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and UMSCs were superior to those of ADSCs. Afterwards, UMSCs exhibited the strongest ability to repair cell migration when HUVECs damaged by high glucose. Moreover, all three MSCs' secreted proteins exhibited the ability to enhance tube formation. Importantly, the UMSCs' secretome showed the most pronounced improvement in tube formation, as evidenced by the evaluation of parameters such as the number of nodes, the number of branches, and total length. These findings suggest that the UMSCs' secretome plays a crucial role in biological processes such as vasculature development, cell adhesion, and tissue remodeling. Additionally, the BMSCs' secretome was found to promote vascular development. The results collectively indicate the diverse therapeutic potential of MSC secretomes in influencing various aspects of cellular function and tissue repair.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this study offers a valuable reference for the selection of more suitable sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the treatment of diabetic cardiovascular disease.
Cointegration Dynamics between Stock Markets of India and its Asian Trading Partners: An Empirical Investigation
Authors: Anthonysamy Eronimus , Verma Reetika 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Purpose: The increasing trade integration between nations leads to a higher level of economic and financial integration among them. This research aims to explore the dynamic connections between India's stock market and its major Asian trading partners, including China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and Turkey.
Design/methodology/approach: The study used daily closing values of the main stock indices from January 2002 to December 2021 for the selected countries. To assess the stock market data's stability, the ADF unit root test was employed. Furthermore, a correlation test was conducted to examine short-term associations, and the ARDL cointegration test was applied to investigate long-term associations among the stock markets.
Findings: The results revealed that the Indian stock market exhibited significant associations and integration with the markets of its Asian trading partners, indicating that trade integration also fosters financial integration.
Originality: The study is the first attempt to explore the dynamic association among the stock market of India and its major Asian trading partners. The results would be relevant for the investors seeking diversification benefits and for policymakers also. Existence of long term association among the markets suggest that diversification among these markets would not provide fruitful returns in long run and the trading relations among the nations does matter for integrating its stock markets as well.
Heterotrophic plate counts (HPC) in drinking water distribution systems: A comprehensive review and meta-analysis
Authors: Carabin Anne , Cassivi Alexandra , Dorea Caetano , Rodriguez Manuel , Huot Caroline 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

Heterotrophic plate count (HPC) is widely assessed in drinking water distribution systems. However, methodological standards and guidelines on the use of HPC are not clearly defined. This comprehensive review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate HPC concentration and how they relate to the characteristics and operational conditions of systems. The size of the distribution system, use of chlorine or chloramine as secondary disinfection and the carbon content of the water were considered. Among 839 MEDLINE® records, 39 met our criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, wide ranges of HPC levels were observed in drinking water distribution systems. Results from the meta-analysis show a significant difference in concentrations between systems using chlorine or chloramine as secondary disinfectant and those that are not using any form of secondary disinfection. Similarly, results demonstrate a positive correlation between HPC levels and assimilable organic carbon. Assessing the spatial and temporal variations of HPC can provide useful information about the biological stability of the water and allow for routine analyses within individual drinking water systems. Due to its limitations as a global and unique indicator of water quality, HPC should be applied as part of a multi-parameter approach for microbial growth analysis in distribution networks.
Treatment techniques and resource recovery of source-separated urine: a bibliometric analysis and literature review
Authors: Li Zhonghong , Li Xiaoguang 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

Human urine, which is high in nutrients, acts as a resource as well as a contaminant. Indiscriminate urine discharge causes environmental pollution and wastes resources. To elucidate the research status and developmental trajectory of source-separated urine (SSU) treatment and recovery, this study was based on the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database and used the bibliometric software VOSviewer and CiteSpace to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth bibliometric analysis of the related literature in this field. The findings revealed a general upward trend in SSU treatment and recovery from 2000 to 2023. The compendium of 894 scholarly articles predominantly focused on the disciplines of Environmental Sciences, Environmental Engineering, and Water Resources. China and the USA emerged as the foremost contributors. Keyword co-occurrence mapping, clustering, and burst analysis have shown that the recovery of nitrogen and phosphorus from urine is currently the main focus, with future prospects leaning toward the retrieval of biochemicals and chemical energy. This study systematically categorizes and compares the developmental status, current advancements, and research progress in this field. The findings of this study provide a valuable reference for understanding developmental pathways in this field of research.

Este artigo tem por objetivo realizar um mapeamento da literatura escrita por mulheres na Guiana francesa situando-a no interior de uma produção literária mais ampla. Para isso, buscaremos problematizar a visibilidade das autoras guianenses no contexto da escrita de expressão francesa e crioula em seu território levando em consideração o modo como a autoria feminina aparece nos compêndios literários guianenses. Pretende-se, igualmente, analisar o surgimento de um espaço consolidado de escrita literária feminina e guianense a partir do final do século XX com base nas discussões de Antonio Candido (2017) sobre a literatura como sistema.
Nancy Huston e Sérgio Kokis, escritores “latinos do Norte”?
Authors: Weigel François 
Published: June 2024

O escritor Sérgio Kokis nasceu em 1944 no Rio de Janeiro, onde viveu durante mais de vinte anos, mas se exilou do seu país natal para fugir da ditadura militar e, morando hoje em Montréal, escolheu a língua francesa para construir toda sua obra literária. Nancy Huston, canadense nascida em Calgary, mas que escolheu o francês para ser a língua principal do seu processo criativo, tem uma relação muito mais distante com o Brasil, onde apenas fez uma curta viagem, tendo lido também textos sobre a cultura brasileira. As lembranças de infância alimentaram a ficção em Le pavillon des miroirs, primeiro romance de Kokis, publicado em 1994, enquanto as anotações sobre o Brasil e a capoeira serviram de arcabouço para a narrativa de Danse noire, publicado em 2013. Com estéticas distintas e graus diferentes de conhecimento do Brasil, as duas obras oferecem um olhar sobre a alteridade brasileira e, de maneira mais ampla, veiculam imagens, entre estereótipos e desconstrução das representações, sobre as culturas latinas da América do Sul. Os francófonos do Canadá, esses “Latinos do Norte”, não teriam no Brasil e na América latina um espelho para interrogar suas identidades culturais e linguísticas dentro de um país majoritariamente anglófono? Os imaginários latino-americanos não constituiriam uma fonte fascinante de renovação dos imaginários? Tais são as indagações que orientam nosso estudo dos romances de Kokis e Huston.

Published: June 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura (RSL) de estudos que abordam a utilização da cultura maker para o ensino de matemática em atividades de modelagem matemática. Para tal, utilizamos estudos e pesquisa extraídas da base de dados da Capes, Google Scholar, Scielo, ACM Digital, ERIC e Science Direct nos últimos cinco anos, afim de quantificar e analisar os trabalhos que abordavam o uso da modelagem como metodologia orientadora da prática maker. De acordo com os resultados obtidos verificou-se que, apesar de a modelagem matemática ainda não ser utilizada de forma efetiva como metodologia orientadora da prática maker, seus pressupostos foram identificados em 80% dos estudos imbricados nesta RSL, nos permitindo inferir que há uma convergência metodológica entre ambas potencialmente relevante para o processo de ensino de matemática. Nesta RSL, também, foi feito um mapeamento das metodologias utilizadas em atividades maker no qual constatou-se que a Aprendizagem Baseada em Projetos (ABP) é a metodologia que mais integra projetos relacionados à cultura maker.

MICROPLASTIC IN SOIL: A REVIEW OF DETECTION METHODS
Authors: Ручкина К.В. , Мерзляков О.Э. 
Published: June 2024

В настоящее время возрастающие объемы производства и потребления пластиковых материалов постепенно превратились в огромную проблему для окружающей среды в связи с повсеместным загрязнением водных и наземных экосистем. Но, несмотря на это, исследования содержания микропластика (МП) в почвенной среде и его воздействия на неё все еще являются редкостью. Малоизученность данной темы связана с отсутствием унификации методов отбора проб, детекции и идентификации микропластика, используемых в исследованиях. Это затрудняет сопоставление результатов и формирование общего понимания распространенности и влиянии микропластика на почвенную среду. Данная статья представляет собой обзор опубликованных подходов к исследованию микропластика в почвах с целью систематизации всей существующей информации и выявления наиболее эффективных методов, которые можно использовать для исследования микропластика в почвах.
Currently, the increasing production and consumption of plastic materials has gradually become a huge environmental problem due to widespread pollution of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. But despite this, research into the content of microplastics (MPs) in the soil environment and its impact on it is still rare. Little knowledge of this topic is due to the lack of unification of sampling, detection and identification methods of microplastics used in research. This makes it difficult to compare results and develop a common understanding of the prevalence and impact of microplastics in the soil environment. This article is a review of published approaches to the study of microplastics in soils with the aim of systematizing all existing information and identifying the most effective methods that can be used to study microplastics in soils.

Published: June 2024

Оптимальной формой азотных удобрений для роста злаковых трав на нефтезагрязненном подзоле иллювиально-железистом является нитратная форма. При применении удобрений с нитратной формой азота наблюдалась максимальная продуктивность злаковых трав: в 3,2– 3,3 раза выше, чем в контрольном варианте и в 1,2–1,6 раз выше по сравнению с остальными удобренными вариантами. Наибольшее снижение содержания нефти в почве при фиторемедиации также зафиксировано в варианте с внесением азота в нитратной форме и составило 12 %. Повышенный уровень обеспеченности растений макроэлементами оказался наиболее благоприятным агрохимическим фоном для трав-ремедиантов, на нем наблюдалась тенденция к повышению содержания азота, фосфора и калия в злаковых травах по сравнению со средним уровнем обеспеченности.
The optimal form of nitrogen fertilizers for the growth of cereal grasses on oil-contaminated podzol illuvial ferruginous is the nitrate form. When using fertilizers with the nitrate form of nitrogen, the maximum productivity of cereal grasses was observed: 3.2–3.3 times higher than the control option and 1.2–1.6 times higher than the other fertilized options. The greatest reduction in oil content during phytoremediation was also recorded in the variant with the introduction of nitrogen in nitrate form and amounted to 12%. An increased level of provision of plants with macroelements turned out to be the most favorable agrochemical background for remediant grasses; there was a tendency to increase the content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in cereal grasses compared to the average level of provision.
