El Baile de Los 41: Sexuality in 1900’s Mexico
Authors: Heib Lauren 
Published: February 2024

During the dictatorial reign of Porfirio Diaz, a ball was discovered following noise complaint. That night, 42 men, a number of them members of Mexico’s elite, were found dancing together. This event brought so much scandal to Mexico, that the number 41 is still associated with homosexuality. The attendees, location, and the political climate of Mexican society played a pivital role in the dance's infamy. The Dance of the 41 served as a public catalyst for a changing sexual climate in Mexico, and therefore had a lasting impact regarding sexuality and gender roles in the following centuries.

Authors: Bali S. , Panda S. , Singh A. , Singh S. 
Published: February 2024

Specific impact of sprint training (ST) on bone health has yet to be fully explored, in particular how it affects bone mineral density (BMD) and bone structure.Aim. To investigate the ST and bone health relationship between athletes of different training intensities and nonathletes of different ages.Materials and methods. A search of databases PubMed, Embase, and Pedro was conducted from January 2009 to August 2023. The full texts of all potentially relevant studies were obtained and evaluated by three independent reviewers for inclusion.Results. The comprehensive review of eight studies indicates a positive influence of ST on bone health. Sprinters show higher cortical and trabecular BMD in the tibia than controls, with a noted age-related decline in BMD. Short distance runners demonstrate significantly better BMD, counter-movement jump performance, and grip strength compared to long-distance runners. These benefits are consistent across various age groups, including older athletes, with minimal age-related changes in mid-tibial BMD. ST is also associated with a 21% increase in tibial stress-strain index, indicating sustained bone strength, and a reduction in fracture risk in the elderly through downregulation of fracture-related microRNAs.Conclusion. ST significantly enhances bone health, particularly in improving BMD and bone microarchitecture. Incorporating ST into exercise routines may benefit athletes and older individuals. Further research is essential to understand the mechanisms and develop optimal training protocols for bone health.
Surgical treatment of intracranial epithelioid hemangioendothelioma: a case report
Authors: Gavrjushin A. V. , Chelushkin D. M. 
Published: February 2024

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an extremely rare vascular neoplasm with an intermediate pattern of malignancy between benign neoplasms and angiosarcomas. Only 46 cases of intracranial localization of primary EHE in adults have been published.Case report: A 47-year-old male patient developed pronounced speech disorder of sensory and amnestic aphasia type, right-sided pyramidal hemiparesis within 3–4 days. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a delimited left sided brain islet neoplasm with signs of hemorrhage and small perifocal edema. Intraoperatively, the neoplasm was represented by a conglomerate of pathologic vessels, with involvement of the terminal branches of the M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery, which prevented radical resection of the neoplasm. Based on histopathological and immunohistochemistry analysis of the neoplasm (positive expression of CD31, CD34, proliferative activity index Ki-67 10%) the morphologic diagnosis of EHE was established. 3 months after surgery, continued growth of the residual part of the neoplasm was noted. Temozolomide chemotherapy was clinically ineffective. The patient died due to the development of dislocation syndrome after 9 months.Discussion. The malignant characteristics of EHE include invasive growth, recurrence, and metastasis, which is more common in intracranial localization of the neoplasm. If EHE is suspected, radical surgical removal of the neoplasm should be sought.

Published: February 2024

The development of neurodegenerative diseases is associated with proper neuronal circuit formation, axonal guidance. The DCC receptor (deleted in colorectal cancer / colorectal cancer suppressor) and SHH (sonic hedgehog protein) are among the key regulators of axonal guidance.Aim. Interaction prediction of specific enhancer regions of DCC and SHH genes with respectively annotated transcription factors.Materials and methods. An in silico study was performed. The iEnhancer-2L and ES-ARCNN algorithms were selected to estimate enhancer sequence strength. The interaction between transcription factor and enhancer sequence was assessed using the molecular docking method. The enhancer sequence of DCC and SHH protein genes were taken from the NCBI open-source database in FASTA format. Ensembl database was used for enhancer mapping, GeneCards was used for screening and selection of potentially appropriate enhancers and transcription factors associated with these enhancers. The structures of transcription factors as well as their DNA-binding domains were taken from the UniProtKB/Swiss-prot database. An HDOCK scoring function was used as a metric for assessing the possibility of interaction of the target gene transcription factor with associated enhancer sequence.Results. The results showed that the interactions of transcription factor NANOG with the DCC gene enhancer sequence and the interaction of transcription factor CEBPA with the SHH gene enhancer sequence predicted by molecular docking method are potentially possible. The iEnhancer-2L and ES-ARCNN algorithms predicted the enhancer sequence of the SHH gene as strong one. The enhancer sequence of the DCC gene was estimated as strong in the iEnhancer-2L algorithm and as weak in ES-ARCNN. Binding of the DCC gene enhancer sequence to the transcription factor NANOG at 1–206 bp and 686–885 bp sites is the most probable, binding of the SHH gene enhancer sequence to the transcription factor CEBPA at 1–500 bp (HDOCK limitation of 500 bp) is possible.Conclusion. In silico techniques applied in this study demonstrated satisfactory results of predicting the interaction of the transcription factor with the enhancer sequence. Limitations of the current techniques is the lack of consideration of specific transcription factor binding sites. This drawback can be eliminated by implementing an ab initio molecular dynamics simulations into the present pipeline.

Published: February 2024

Aim. We sought to assess the effects of exogenous Hsp70 (single subcutaneous low- and high-dose injections) on organ structure and functions in adult mice.Materials and methods. We randomized CD1 90-day-old male mice (n = 30) to three groups (10 mice per group). We injected the animals with single subcutaneous saline solution for Group 1 (control), low dose (500 μg/kg) of recombinant human Hsp70 (HspA1A) for Group 2, and high dose (5000 μg/kg) of the Hsp70 for Group 3. We examined the behavior of the mice on Day 3 after the injections (distance traveled, velocity, and bowel movement number). We lethalized the mice on Day 5 with further histological study and morphometrics of cerebral cortex, thymus, spleen, and liver. The statistics included one-factor ANOVA test with post hoc Tukey test.Results. All study groups exhibited no significant difference of behavioral parameters. Some liver sinusoids were wider in control group and Hsp70 500 μg/kg group comparing to Hsp70 5000 μg/kg group. We obtained also data for morphometrics: no difference was found for the number of neurons in ganglionic cerebral cortex, the lymphocytic cellularity difference between thymic cortex and medulla, the number of lymphocytes in white splenic pulp, and the number of hepatocyte nuclei in the liver. Red splenic pulp exhibited 1774,5 ± 24,8, 1623,0 ± 26,7, 1553,6 ± 47,0 macrophages for control, low-dose and high-dose groups, respectively (р < 0,0001). Tukey test showed a significant difference between control group and each of Hsp70 groups 500 μg/kg (р = 0,012) and 5000 μg/kg (р < 0,0001).Conclusion. Our study revealed no negative impact of subcutaneous Hsp70 administration at low and high doses on organ structure and functions in mice.

Aim. Compare the lytic efficiency and the kinetics of accumulation of vesicular stomatitis virus serotypes Indiana (VSV-IND) and New Jersey (VSV-NJ) on cell lines of mouse melanoma B16F10, human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and human mammary adenocarcinoma MCF7.Materials and methods. The viability of mouse melanoma B16F10, human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and human mammary adenocarcinoma MCF7 cell lines infected with VSV-IND and VSV-NJ viruses at different multiplicity of infection (10 MOI; 1 MOI; 0.1 MOI) was assessed after 24, 48 and 72 hours, and the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values were measured using the methyl tetrazolium test. The relationship with virus accumulation in cell culture was determined using reverse transcription – quantitative polymerase chain reaction; 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) of VSV-IND and VSV-NJ for B16F10, HepG2, MCF7 were calculated using the Reed-Muench method.Results. The most susceptible cell line for both viruses was B16F10: cell viability 72 hours after infection at 10 MOI was only 10.4% and 5.7% for VSV-IND and VSV-NJ, respectively. HepG2 cell viability at 72 hours post-infection at 10 MOI was 10.8% and 9.8% for VSV-IND and VSV-NJ, and for MCF7 adenocarcinoma it was 46.6% and 36.2%, respectively. Moreover, only in the B16F10 culture was a positive statistically significant correlation of medium strength established between the inhibition of cell viability and the accumulation of viral RNA: for VSV-IND r = 0.601 (p < 0.05); for VSV-NJ r = 0.668 (p < 0.05). HepG2 and MCF7 showed no significant correlation.Conclusion. The research results indicate the potential of using oncolytic viruses of the VSV-IND and VSV-NJ as a platform for the development of new recombinant viruses for virotherapy of solid tumors in combination with other types of treatment.
