description: Abstract

Background: Pregnancy is prone to oxidative stress, so the addition of antioxidants is needed, so supplements are needed, especially for vulnerable groups, such as children, and pregnant or lactating mothers. The nutritional needs of pregnant women are also found in plants that contain high nutrients ranging from macronutrients to micronutrients. In addition to moringa leaves, royal jelly consists of water (50%-60%), protein (18%), carbohydrates (15%), and lipids (3% - 6%). said to alleviate various health problems such as fatigue, anxiety, mild depression, insomnia and lack of energy and stamina. Objective: This study aims to assess the difference in giving moringa leaf extract enriched with royal jelly (MRJ) on MDA (Malondialdehyde) levels and total lymphocyte count in pregnant women. Methods: The research design is a Randomized Control Trial. Consists of two groups, namely 1) The intervention group was given MRJ capsules as much as 2 capsules a day for 3 months at a dose of 2 x 500 mg/capsule (1000mg) and the comparison group was given MMS 1 tablet every day which was given for 3 months. The tests used were normality test, hogomenitas, univariate analysis and bivariate analysis. Results: The results showed that the average MDA levels were -18.94 in the intervention group and -15.76 in the control group. There was a significant difference in MDA levels between the control group (p = 0.003) and marginal significance in the intervention group (p = 0.053). Similarly, the mean TLC levels were -3.37 in the intervention group and -2.41 in the control group. Significant differences were observed in TLC levels for both groups (intervention group p = 0.003, control group p = 0.004). Conclusion: The difference test between the intervention group and the control group on the different data shows that there is no similarity or insignificance between MDA levels and TLC levels.

Remarks. C. aspera was described by Philip (1958: 65) as female, but Coscarón & Philip (1979: 448) treated the female as unknown. This inconsistency is probably due to the fact that Philip (1958) did not dissect the genitalia for the original description (see Krolow et al. 2016: 544).

description: In 2017 February, the blazar OJ 287 underwent a period of intense multiwavelength activity. It reached a new historic peak in the soft X-ray (0.3–10 keV) band, as measured by the Swift X-ray Telescope. This event coincides with a very-high-energy (VHE) γ-ray outburst that led VERITAS to detect emission above 100 GeV, with a detection significance of 10σ (from 2016 December 9 to 2017 March 31). The time-averaged VHE γ-ray spectrum was consistent with a soft power law (Γ = −3.81 ± 0.26) and an integral flux corresponding to ∼2.4% that of the Crab Nebula above the same energy. Contemporaneous data from multiple instruments across the electromagnetic spectrum reveal a complex flaring behavior, primarily in the soft X-ray and VHE bands. To investigate the possible origin of such an event, our study focuses on three distinct activity states: before, during, and after the 2017 February peak. The spectral energy distributions during these periods suggest the presence of at least two nonthermal emission zones, with the more compact one responsible for the observed flare. Broadband modeling results and observations of a new radio knot in the jet of OJ 287 in 2017 are consistent with a flare originating from a strong recollimation shock outside the radio core.

description: Youth substance use is influenced by a complex array of interrelated risk factors. In the case of smoking, researchers have focused on such diverse factors as social influences, school and community contexts, tobacco regulations and pricing, intrapersonal characteristics, and delinquency. Among these factors, one type has received disproportionate attention: friendship and other peer relationships. Numerous studies have found that exposure to pro-smoking peer behaviors and attitudes is associated with youth smoking initiation and escalation during adolescence and emerging adulthood. However, despite the considerable number of studies on peer relationships and smoking, much remains to be learned about the factors contributing to peer similarities in smoking, the diversity of peer influences relevant to smoking, and the conditions under which youth are susceptible versus resilient to smoking-related peer influences. Further, methodological limitations preclude drawing strong conclusions from most of these studies about the role of peer relationships as a contributing factor to youth smoking. Thus, the most fundamental question underlying research on peers and smoking has not been fully investigated: to what extent do friendship networks actually influence adolescent smoking behavior?

 Using longitudinal friendship network data from the National Survey of Adolescent Health (Add Health), this project will address the following specific aims: 1) To determine the extent to which friendship networks influence smoking (influence effects) and smoking influences friendship selection (selection effects), and whether these associations differ across key demographic groups; 2) To investigate how different levels of peer influence are concurrently and prospectively associated with youth smoking behavior, and to explore whether these associations are moderated by key network structure characteristics; and 3) To identify adolescents who are more resilient versus vulnerable to different levels of pro-smoking peer influences, focusing on characteristics from four domains: personal factors; school factors; family factors; and neighborhood factors.

description: There is a strong positive correlation between chronic exposure to tobacco smoke and an increased incidence of atherosclerosis and its clinical sequelae: coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke. In fact, atherosclerosis is one of the primary causes of death amongst tobacco smokers. Conversely, high density lipoprotein (HDL) is correlated with a reduced risk for atherosclerosis. This is due in large part to HDL's ability to remove cholesterol from atherosclerotic plaques and deliver it to the liver for excretion through the bile. Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) is the primary protein component of HDL and as such is a principal determinant of HDL's biological activity. ApoA-I is a member of the exchangeable lipoprotein class of proteins which possess the unique ability to freely transition between lipid and aqueous environments while maintaining their solubility. This adaptability is facilitated by a global conformational rearrangement of the molecule as it transitions between environments. This ability is critical to the mobilization of cholesterol out of atherosclerotic plaques by HDL but is poorly understood. In this proposed study we will examine the manner in which apoA-I regulates and facilitates this structural response to changes in its environment, and how oxidative conditions that arise from the tobacco smoke induced state of chronic inflammation influence HDL's ability to reverse the onset of atherosclerosis. From this information we will gain a greater understanding of the molecular processes which govern HDL's ability to reverse one of the major effects of smoking, namely the formation and progression of the atherosclerotic plaque and how oxidation interferes with this process. Such knowledge will establish the foundation for structure-based drug design, stemming from a better mechanistic understanding of the manner in which apoA-I and other exchangeable apolipoproteins bind and sequester lipid.

description: The addictive properties of nicotine are central to the countless health problems associated with smoking. Addiction is an extraordinarily complex behavior, about which much must still be learned. The present work seeks a better understanding of the molecular interactions in the brain that lead to nicotine addiction. The goal is to provide insights that will facilitate the development of a new generation of therapeutics designed to help smokers quit. In the human brain there is a large family of related proteins called acetylcholine receptors that play important roles in learning and memory. These receptors are the targets of efforts to find cures for Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, attention deficit disorders, and schizophrenia. There are perhaps a dozen types of acetylcholine receptors in the brain, close cousins with subtle differences. It is known that when nicotine enters the brain it interacts with such acetylcholine receptors. The interaction launches a signal that ultimately feeds into well-established addictive pathways in the brain. However, not all acetylcholine receptors link to addictive pathways, and nicotine specifically targets only those that do. We do not at present understand how nicotine is able to specifically target acetylcholine receptors associated with addiction, while avoiding other receptors that appear to be very similar in structure. This issue provides the central focus of the proposed work. The acetylcholine receptors are complicated proteins that present special challenges for researchers. We have developed new technology that combines the powerful tools of molecular biology, organic chemistry, and computer modeling. This approach provides insights of unprecedented precision concerning drug-receptor interactions, and it is ideally suited to the issue of targeting specific receptors. Using this methodology, we will determine the structural features of nicotine and the structural features of the specific acetylcholine receptors it targets that provide the molecular basis of nicotine addiction. Along with basic information about the chemistry of nicotine addiction, the results developed here have considerable therapeutic implications. One strategy to developing new smoking cessation drugs is to develop molecules that target the same receptors as nicotine, but that do not activate them in the same way. In this way, the drugs interfere with nicotine's actions and negate its addictive properties. In order to develop such drugs, we need to understand how to target the right receptors; the ones that nicotine targets. The information obtained in the present work will thus be directly relevant to efforts by the pharmaceutical industry to develop the next generation of smoking cessation medicines.

description: Data mining of network-constrained trajectories has broad applications in the GIScience field. The calculation of a complete trajectory similarity matrix is a key step in various data mining algorithms. However, computing this matrix is computationally intensive for large datasets, as it involves numerous point-to-point shortest-path (PPSP) queries. To tackle this issue, we propose a new spatiotemporal construct called the space-time tree, which directly delineates the network distance from a query trajectory to any network space-time point. By constructing the space-time tree, we can efficiently compute the trajectory similarity matrix without additional PPSP queries. The space-time tree supports several similarity metrics, including closest pair distance, furthest pair distance, longest common subsequence (LCSS), and distance-weighted LCSS. It can further integrate with advanced spatiotemporal query techniques for scalable partial trajectory similarity matrix calculations. A case study using real datasets was conducted to apply the space-time tree in the trajectory clustering application. The results show that the space-time tree completed the clustering task on 0.5 million trajectories within 49 minutes, achieving a nearly 147-fold speedup compared to state-of-the-art methods.

The new Projecting Kinetoscope was based on some of the same technology as the old Kinetoscope, but incorporated a powerful light source, the “lamphouse,” that propelled images onto a screen.  The Projecting Kinetoscope's construction incorporated a great deal of the essential mechanism of the modern movie projector.The following pamphlet contains instructions on setting up and operating the 1901 Edison Projecting Kinetoscope model manufactured and distributed by the Edison Manufacturing Company in Orange, New Jersey.

description: Within the nutritionism paradigm, in this article we critically review the marketization and medicalization logics which aim to address the pressing issue of malnutrition in low- and middle-income countries. Drawing from political economy and food system transformation discourses, we are using the popular intervention types of nutrition-sensitive value chains (marketization logic) and biofortification exemplified through orange-fleshed sweet potato (medicalization logic) to assess their outcomes and underlying logics. We demonstrate that there is insufficient evidence of the positive impact of these interventions on nutritional outcomes, and that their underlying theories of change and impact logics do not deal with the inherent complexity of nutritional challenges. We show that nutrition-sensitive value chain approaches are unable to leverage or enhance the functioning of value chains to improve nutritional outcomes, especially in light of the disproportionate power of some food companies. We further demonstrate that orange-fleshed sweet potato interventions and biofortification more broadly adopt a narrow approach to malnutrition, disregarding the interactions between food components and broader value chain and food system dynamics. We argue that both intervention types focus solely on increasing the intake of specific nutrients without incorporating their embeddedness in the wider food systems and the relevant political-economic and social relations that influence the production and consumption of food. We conclude that the systemic nature of malnutrition requires to be understood and addressed as part of the food system transformation challenge in order to move towards solving it. To do so, new evaluation frameworks along with new approaches to solutions are necessary that support multiple and diverse development pathways, which are able to acknowledge the social, political-economic, and environmental factors and drivers of malnutrition and poverty.

description: Studies of the effects of cigarette smoking by pregnant women on the intrauterine development of their offspring are most important, since the development of the child is likely to be hindered. Infants whose mothers smoked during pregnancy are of lower size and weight at birth and are not only predisposed to pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases, but also to immunodeficiency. Thus, the goal of this grant application is to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms leading to the dysfunction of the immune system in children whose mothers smoked during pregnancy. Hematopoiesis, the generation of mature blood cells, is vital for life: the white cells fight infections, the red cells carry oxygen throughout the body, and the platelets promote healing and prevent bleeding. The hematopoietic stem cell is a progenitor cell that generates all varieties of mature blood cells throughout life. During adulthood, hematopoiesis takes place in the bone marrow. However, colonization of the bone marrow with primitive hematopoietic stem cells must occur during the intrauterine development of the fetus. Thus, any changes in the ability of primitive hematopoietic stem cells to egress from the fetal liver, to immigrate into the fetal bone marrow and to establish normal hematopoiesis could be deleterious to the newborn. Nicotine is one such factor, the exposure to which could lead to serious alterations in bone marrow development, resulting in a disruption of hematopoietic homeostasis and a decreased number of immune cells in the blood. Indeed, we have demonstrated that newborn mice exposed to nicotine during intrauterine development have a decreased immune response during the first month after birth. Furthermore, these mice had a lower number of hematopoietic stem cells which migrated in the bone marrow, compared to control animals. Based on our preliminary observations, we propose to investigate how nicotine can alter the ability of fetal hematopoietic stem cells to home in the fetal bone marrow. We found that within different cell types, nicotine can target endothelial cells and affect their ability to support extravasation (a migration from the blood stream into the tissues) of hematopoietic stem cells. We hypothesize that among other deleterious effects on fetal tissues, nicotine induces pathological changes in vascular function that might result in inferior colonization of fetal bone marrow by fetal hematopoietic stem cells. Thus, the proposed grant application fits the Cardiovascular Disease program and could significantly contribute to this TRDRP priority area of research. Studying the effect of nicotine on intrauterine development may open a new area of research, which could ultimately establish a basis for novel therapeutic approaches to the treatment of tobacco-related immunodeficiency.

description: Cigarette smoke is well known to cause human diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancers. One of the clinical hall marks associated with these diseases is elevated mucin production and accumulation in airways. The nature of the cause of smoke on these diseases and mucin over-production is incompletely understood.

 Although current smokes are at high risk for these diseases, not all smokers develop these diseases. In addition, ex-smokers, even after decades-long smoking cessation, are still in high risk for the development of these diseases. Recent data from various laboratories and data from our preliminary studies have shown a persistent increase/decrease of the expression of various genes, including a persistent increase of MUC5AC, associated with the smoking history. Based on these findings, we propose that epigenetic regulations represent another mechanism for this phenomenon. Thus, the central hypothesis proposed in this study is that cigarette smoke (CS) is a potent epigenetic agent that has a profound effect on airway epithelial cell gene expression.

 To test this hypothesis, two main Specific aims are proposed. Specific aim 1 is to test the hypothesis that CS regulates airway MUC5AC expression through an epigenetic mechanism. Specifically, we will characterize the changes in the chromatin context of MUC5AC in CS-exposed primary human airway epithelial cells and to elucidate the molecular and cellular basis associated with these changes by siRNA and inhibitor approaches. Specific aim 2 is to elucidate the molecular basis of the epigenetic mechanism of CS-induced/suppressed airway gene expression in primary human airway epithelial cell cultures. Specifically, we will use chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) approach to carry out ChIP-chip assay and microarray analysis to elucidate genome-wide changes in primary human airway epithelial cells exposed to CS. We will then use various siRNA and inhibitor approaches to elucidate the molecular and cellular basis associated with these changes. Several persistently induced/suppressed genes by CS have been identified. These are: PLA2G10, S100A10, TM4SF1, CTTN, GMDS, HN1, IMPA2, AKR1B10, CEACAM5, CEACAM6, KRT15, MT1F, MT1X, CYP2A6, EGFL9, EPAS1, and HSPA2, in addition to MUC5AC. The elucidation of epigenetic changes at the genome-wide level as well as on MUC5AC will provide the fundamental test of the proposed hypothesis.

description: This study explored the role of the hormone oxytocin in 49 emerging adult couples’ communication after sexual activity. Guided by the post sex disclosures model, the findings indicated that post sex oxytocin levels, but not increases in pre to post sex oxytocin, were associated with men's general assessments of the benefits and risks of disclosing after sexual activity (measured separately from the sexual episode). Additionally, women's and men's benefit assessments were positively associated, and their risk assessments were negatively associated, with positive disclosures after sex. The findings offer the first known test of couples’ oxytocin levels during a naturally occurring sexual episode in the home environment and have implications for researchers interested in the links between oxytocin and human behavior.

description: This paper presents and examines computationally convenient goodness-of-fit tests for the family of generalized Poisson distributions, which encompasses notable distributions such as the Compound Poisson and the Katz distributions. The tests are consistent against fixed alternatives and their null distribution can be consistently approximated by a parametric bootstrap. The goodness of the bootstrap estimator and the power for finite sample sizes are numerically assessed through an extensive simulation experiment, including comparisons with other tests. In many cases, the novel tests either outperform or match the performance of existing ones. Real data applications are considered for illustrative purposes.
