CUTANEOUS OXIDATIVE STRESS INDUCED BY POLLUTION (PARTICULATE MATTER) AND ITS AGGRAVATION BY ENVIRONMENTAL ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION (UV)
Creators: name: MARROT, Laurent
Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: Atmospheric pollution is a serious health concern and particulate matter (PM) from combustion is considered as particularly deleterious. In fact, ultrafine particles smaller than 100 nM in size contain toxic compounds such as poly aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) adsorbed at their surface. Moreover, they can translocate from lung capillaries to blood circulation and be distributed in the whole body.
Up to now, no precise estimation of pollutants in living skin is available, but plasma concentration can reach nanomolar range. Contamination of dermis and epidermis, either by penetration from skin surface or by systemic exposure, is highly probable since PAH can be found in cortex of human hair follicle. Some PAH are photo- reactive and phototoxic: sunlight and pollution might thus synergistically compromise skin health. After summing up current knowledge about dermatological damage induced by pollution, experimental data obtained in vitro using normal human keratinocytes or reconstructed epidermis will be presented. At very low concentrations (in the nanomolar range), some PAH such as benzopyrene or indenopyrene displayed a strong phototoxicity under exposure to daily UV (300-400 nm) and also to UVA1 (340-400 nm). Even when cytotoxicity was low, PAH- induced photo-oxidative stress could impair mitochondrial function (membrane polarization and ATP production) and impacted endogenous glutathione (GSH) homeostasis. Interestingly, among genes controlling GSH metabolism, SLC7A11 was particularly overexpressed (at gene and protein levels). This protein is an antiporter in charge of cystine supply. SLC7A11 upregulation suggests that regeneration of GSH might be of huge importance to ensure protection against “photo-pollution” stress. As proof, pretreatment of cells by buthionine sulfoximine BSO, an inhibitor of GSH biosynthesis, significantly increased PAH-induced phototoxicity.
Our results highlight that pollutants could aggravate skin photodamage: specific photoprotection strategies for skin care in polluted area will be discussed.

Subjects: Renaissance- Arab countries
Knowledge economy- Arab countries

This article explores how the United Arab Emirates -particularly Dubai- has emerged as a modern cultural hub in the Arab world, shifting the traditional centers of Nahda (renaissance) and Tanweer (enlightenment) from cities like Cairo, Beirut, and Baghdad. The author examines the historical context of cultural development in the Arab world, highlighting the influence of colonialism, mismanagement, and brain drain on previous modernization efforts. The study argues that Dubai’s success stems from a combination of strong governance, policy vision, and strategic investment in cultural infrastructure. Using three case studies: translation, museums, and cinema. the article illustrates how Dubai and the Gulf states have crafted a new model for cultural advancement, blending traditional Arab identity with global modernity. The analysis also reflects on challenges, such as linguistic identity in a globalized context, and emphasizes the need for specialized translation, creative museum engagement, and structured support for film industries. Overall, the paper presents Dubai as a leading example of a functional framework for Arab cultural revival in the digital age.

description: With every decade that society progresses, majority groups in the United States and internationally hail how much improvement has occurred for inclusion of minority groups into social, political and economic structures. However, despite these cries of progress, minority groups still suffer from normalized attitudes and expectations that push their experience and identities into the category of the abnormal, unnecessary or excessive. This thesis attempts to analyze the Co-cultural tactics utilized by queer movements during the early periods of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and situate that discussion within the broader context of a longer debate between strategies of rage and opacity for muted groups like queer individuals.

description: Using the OSeMOSYS tool, three scenarios were modeled to assess Rwanda's energy

future. The Business As Usual (BAU) scenario indicates a continued heavy reliance on

non-renewable energy sources, resulting in significant CO₂ emissions throughout the

modeling period. Scenario Two introduces renewable energy sources, with a particular

emphasis on solar energy, leading to a substantial reduction in emissions. Building

upon this, Scenario Three incorporates battery storage systems and phases out diesel-

based power generation, achieving the most significant CO₂ emissions reduction

among the scenarios. Therefore, Scenario Three is highly recommended for the

Government of Rwanda to consider in its strategic energy planning.

description: Dr. Mowinckel's blog:   I recently was talking with a good friend and brilliant researcher regarding the advantages of R. As you can guess, I was the advocate. Coming from psychology, we are mainly taught to use "simple" analysis tools, and mainly SPSS. I never liked SPSS, even as a student. not knowing of any possible alternatives or what could be improved, I just thought the whole thing felt too black-boxy. But it is a convenient tool, when the data is already in a relatively clean format, and the analyses you want to do are straight forward, and you don't mind not knowing exactly the formula SPSS uses to calculate your results.
RESPONSE TO ANTIOXIDANT THERAPY: IMPACT OF THE NITROSO-REDOX BALANCE IN RESTORING PROTEASES AND MITOCHONDRIAL FUNCTION IN A PROGEROID DISEASE
Creators: name: CHATRE, Laurent
name: RICCHETTI, Miria
Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS) do not just generate molecular stress but are also signalling molecules with regulatory functions. The nitroso-redox balance, which is the balance between ROS and RNS, plays a role in many intracellular functions including metabolism and mitochondrial activity. Antioxidant therapy is increasingly proposed to treat diseases associated with oxidative stress. However, nowadays, side effects of antioxidant treatments force to reconsider the beneficial therapeutic interest of this approach. Here, we show that antioxidant treatment poorly reverts cellular and mitochondrial defects from a human progeroid disease associated with altered nitroso-redox imbalance. Conversely, full reversion of the cellular and mitochondrial defects is achieved by reducing both ROS and RNS levels. Intriguingly, establishment of an appropriate nitroso-redox balance seems to play a major role in the correction of defects in progeroid cells than simply reducing the levels of these molecules.
We will discuss the impact of such treatments on overexpression of proteases and impaired mitochondrial function and the opportunity to reconsider the use of different class of antioxidant molecules in the context of a progeroid dysfunction.

ROS DEFICIENCY AS DISEASE RISK
Creators: name: KNAUS, Ulla
Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: Maintaining the redox balance between generation and elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is critical for health. Continuously elevated ROS levels will result in oxidative stress and development of disease, but likewise insufficient ROS production will be detrimental to health. Reduced or even complete loss of ROS generation originates mainly from inactivating variants in genes encoding for NADPH oxidase complexes. In particular, deficiency in phagocyte NOX2 oxidase function due to inactivating genetic variants (CYBB, CYBA, NCF1, NCF2, NCF4) cause chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), an inherited immune disorder. Reduced superoxide generation by the NOX2 complex constitutes a risk factor for developing very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEOIBD). VEOIBD has also been linked to NOX1 and DUOX2 variants, both expressed in the colon epithelium, thereby strengthening the notion that sufficient ROS generation is essential for gut health. Loss-of- function variants in the genes encoding for the DUOX2/DUOXA2 complex lead to permanent or transient hypothyroidism, although it still remains unknown what determines the clinical manifestations when DUOX2 activity is reduced.
I will give an overview of developments in NOX/DUOX-deficiency disorders and combine them with insights gained from structure-function studies that will aid in predicting functional defects of clinical variants.

description: The transcription factor NRF2 (NFE2L2), regulates important antioxidant and cytoprotective genes. It enhances cancer cell proliferation and promotes chemoresistance in several cancers. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is known to promote NRF2 activity in non-cancer models. We combined in vitro and in vivo methods to examine the effect of DMF on cancer cell death and the activation of the NRF2 antioxidant pathway. We demonstrated that at lower concentrations (< 25 M), DMF has a cytoprotective role through activation of the NRF2 antioxidant pathway.

At higher concentrations, however (> 25 M), DMF caused oxidative stress and subsequently cytotoxicity in several cancer cell lines. High DMF concentration decreases nuclear translocation of NRF2 and production of its

downstream targets. The pro-oxidative and cytotoxic effects of high concentration of DMF were abrogated by over-expression of NRF2 in OVCAR3 cells, suggesting that DMF cytotoxicity is dependent of NRF2 depletion. High concentrations of DMF decreased the expression of DJ-1, a NRF2 protein stabiliser.
 Using DJ-1 siRNA and expression vector, we observed that the expression level of DJ-1 controls NRF2 activation, antoxidant defences and cell death in OVCAR3 cells. Finally, antitumoral effect of daily DMF (20mg/kg) was also observed in vivo in two mice models of colon cancer. Taken together, these findings implicate the effect of DJ-1 on NRF2 in cancer development and identify DMF as a dose dependant modulator of both Nrf2 and DJ-1, which may be useful in exploiting the therapeutic potential of these endogenous antioxidants.

THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG QUESTION OF OXIDATIVE AND ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM STRESSES IN CANCER THERAPY
Creators: name: NIKIFOROV, Mikhail
Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: Cellular responses to oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress are among the most evolutionarily conserved pathways within the cell. Tumor cells commonly encounter both ER and oxidative stress due to high levels of metabolism, including increased rates of protein translation. Yet drugs aimed primarily at interference with these stress response pathways comprise only a small portion of currently available anti-neoplastic agents. Moreover, little is known about the interrelating connection between ER stress and oxidative stress caused by these few anticancer drugs. For instance, it is generally accepted that intracellular oxidative stress induced by proteasome inhibitors is a byproduct of ER stress.
Here, we report a mechanism underlying the ability of proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ) to directly induce both oxidative and ER stress in multiple myeloma (MM) cells via transcriptional repression of the gene encoding mitochondrial thioredoxin reductase (TXNRD2). TXNRD2 is critical for maintenance of intracellular redox status and detoxification of reactive oxygen species.
Depletion of TXNRD2 to the levels detected in BTZ-treated cells causes oxidative stress, ER stress and death similar to those induced by proteasome inhibitors. Reciprocally, restoration of near-wildtype TXNRD2 levels in MM cells treated with proteasome inhibitors reduces oxidative stress, ER stress and cell death by ~46%, ~35% and ~50%, respectively, compared to cells with depleted TXNRD2 levels. Moreover, cells from three MM cell lines selected for resistance to BTZ demonstrate elevated levels of TXNRD2, indirectly confirming its functional role in BTZ resistance.
Accordingly, ectopic expression of TXNRD2 in MM cell xenografts in immunocompromised mice blunts the therapeutic effects of BTZ.
Our data identifies TXNRD2 as a potential clinically relevant target, inhibition of which is critical for proteasome inhibitor-dependent cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, and ER stress.

Subjects: subject: Organizational theory

subject: Organizational culture
subject: Boundary spanning
subject: Collaboration

description: This thesis describes the ways in which organizational culture and sub-cultures inform how individuals work across the fragmented terrain of higher education. Through a qualitative case study at George Mason University eighteen individuals were interviewed to explore the role of organizational culture and sub-cultures in their collaborative interactions. Among the results are that the motivations, awareness and strategies of individuals are informed by both the overarching organizational culture and sub-cultural differences. Each of these aspects of individuals reifies another. Organizational culture in the form of shared mission and goals motivates individuals to collaborate beyond subcultures. This motivation requires a deep awareness of others in the organization. By broadening their knowledge base, individuals are better able to construct strategies for successful collaboration. When successful, these strategies – relationship and network building, tailored communication, active listening, advocacy and adaptable approach – in turn, provide new motivation and greater awareness. These findings are useful in that they provide insight into collaborative effectiveness that internal boundary spanners can use to bridge the loosely-coupled components of their institutions for greater organizational success.

description: Alterations in antioxidant enzymes expression are associated with changes in cancer cell sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs. We investigated mechanisms of resistance to pro-oxidant drugs by using a model of oxidative stress-resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cells (Resox cells). A genomic gain of the chromosomal band 16q22 was discovered in Resox cells as compared to parental breast cancer MCF-7 cells and normal human mammary epithelial 250MK cells. By using different pharmacological and genetic invalidation strategies we showed that 16q22-associated amplification of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) gene was critical for Resox oxidative stress-resistance. Considering that NQO1 is frequently modified in tumor, at genomic or transcriptomic levels, we take advantage of this discover to explore NQO1 modulations roles in breast cancer chemosensitivity. Using different cellular models we found that NQO1 overexpression is a main determinant for the classical resistance, such as menadione and doxorubicin. This resistance was associated with an increased
-lapachone, and inversely, conditions leading to the decrease of NQO1 activity trigger quinone- based chemotherapies-sensitivity. This places NQO1 modulations as a potential link between redox alterations in cancers and chemoresistance. Furthermore, this study underlines that the copy number alterations of NQO1 could be taken into account to specifically target breast tumors.

ANTIDIABETIC THERAPY, ANTIOXIDANTS AND TUMOR INITIATION
Creators: name: WANG, Hui
Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: Accumulating evidence found that antidiabetic therapy is closely associated with tumor. Oxidative stress contributes to the onset of diabetes and diabetic complications, and antioxidant agents are the important component in the treatment of diabetes and its complications. Furthermore, oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in tumor. So antioxidant antidiabetic agents may have the potential effect on the biology of tumors. In our study recently published on Science Translational Medicine, we found that some of the antioxidant antidiabetic agents could increase NRF2 expression which correlated with potentially accelerating tumor metastasis in mice models. Our findings suggest that antioxidants that activate NRF2 signaling may need to be administered with caution in cancer patients, such as diabetic patients with cancer.

description: Prison staff, especially non-custodial staff, remain an under-researched, yet important component of carceral life. These staff often play crucial roles in day-to-day prison activities/practices working as counselors, educators, and work supervisors. Using interview (N=140) and survey (N=289) data collected from staff in six Pennsylvania prisons, this study examines the depth and quality of staff relationships (with each other and with residents) and the effects of those relationships on staff perceptions of prison culture. Additionally, this paper examines how demographic variables (e.g., institution, staff position, race, and age) potentially contribute to the existence of staff subcultures within prisons. Ultimately, this study provides insight into the organizational culture of prisons through staff relationships with others within the penal environment.
ON THE ROLE OF ROS AND ANTIOXIDANTS IN TUMOR INITIATION AND PROGRESSION

Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: It is well established that reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause DNA damage that can turn a normal cell into a cancer cell and that antioxidant supplementation can prevent this process and inhibit tumor initiation. However, recent studies indicate that ROS can inhibit the proliferation of lung cancer cells and inhibit metastasis of malignant melanoma cells, and consequently, antioxidant supplementation can accelerate tumor growth and facilitate metastasis. Thus, we argue that ROS is harmful to both healthy cells and tumor cells, and that antioxidant supplementation can inhibit tumor initiation but accelerate tumor progression.
This reasoning could potentially explain the puzzling and varying outcomes of clinical trials with antioxidants. In this talk, I will discuss our ongoing studies that addresses these issues.

description: This thesis considers the wave of insurgents who left Chechnya in order to fight with the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. The purpose of this study is to examine the motivations of these fighters. Stories describing their departure—including journalistic retellings, third-party recollections and self-stated motivation—collected on the blog, Chechens in Syria, compiled by Joanna Paraszczuk, is the data used for this thesis. These motivations are coded and analyzed for patterns and themes. What is extracted from these blog posts is useful for understanding the conflict in Chechnya and speaks more broadly to the state of jihadism within the region. Additionally, secondary sources and a deep literature review of foreign fighters, the ideology of the Islamic State, the conflict between Russia and Chechnya, provide further insights and complement the analysis provided.

description: Nitroxyl (HNO, IUPAC name azanone), being formally the protonated product of one-electron reduction of nitric oxide (NO), is an elusive reactive nitrogen species possessing interesting biological chemistry and high pharmacological importance. 1,2 Thiols, thiol proteins and metaloproteins are the most established biological targets for HNO. 1-3 Contrary to nitric oxide, HNO is a strong electrophile highly reactive towards thiols, phosphines and nitroso compounds. A number of fluorescent probes for HNO detection based on the reaction of HNO with arylphosphines have been developed recently. Here, we present the study on the HNO reactivity towards selected HNO scavengers: thiols, arylphosphines (including profluorescent probe PCM) and nitroso compounds. In this study we applied previously described competition kinetics method 4 based on two parallel, competing HNO reactions – with studied scavenger and with molecular oxygen. The latter, relatively fast reaction (k=(1.8 ± 0.3)104 M -1 s -1), results in the formation of peroxynitrite, 4 that can be easily detected fluorometrically with the use of fluorogenic boronate probes. Potential implications for fluorescent imaging of HNO in cells using phosphine-based fluorogenic probes are discussed.

description: This research studies one of the most complicated conflicts in the world – the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The protracted conflict has brought lots of suffering for both communities and the region as a whole. Such conflicts have a lot of effects not only on neighboring countries, but on the rest of the world as well. The dissertation focuses on Egypt and relation of its economy to the conflict. The study tries to present an in-depth review of major events which happened during the conflict and their relation to economic factors. It observes a transition from war mentality to friendly economic and social ties. Economic relations in the Middle East region are based on many aspects, and the conflict and its consequences play a huge role in their strengthening or weakening. Because Egypt was directly involved in the war, it tries to preserve its relations with both sides on an equal scale. The country plays a huge role in peacemaking efforts; it is a key mediator between the parties. The research will present a case study of American aid and cross-border trade in the Gaza Strip. This dissertation produced several research outcomes through an extensive study of relevant literature and further analysis. Also, a number of key findings, which include different aspects of relations among the two sides of the conflict, Egypt, the rest of the region and major international players were produced. These relations include a variety of important agreements which strengthened the relations among the key players. The research also draws attention to the need of resolution of the conflict, as it already touched many families, communities, and countries.
EXHALED NITRIC OXIDE AS PREDICTOR MARKER OF INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE AND FIBROSIS

description: Endothelial dysfunction and activation of the immune system are the two major pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for the fibrosis of the skin and internal organs in systemic sclerosis. The diffuse interstitial lung disease (PID) has become the main cause of the disease mortality. Pulmonary inflammation is the result of activation of the immune system, which stimulates the inducible NO synthase and increases cellular production of nitric oxide (NO). Increasing alveolar NO concentration (CANO) was significantly correlated with the severity of the PID in patients with systemic sclerosis. Increased CANO is related to the inducing capacity of serum from patients on lung fibroblast proliferation and their differentiation into myofibroblasts, linking active alveolitis to cell mechanism of pulmonary fibrosis in the disease. Alveolar nitric oxide concentration has a strong predictive value on the deterioration of the PID within a 3-year follow-up. These patients could then receive early appropriate treatment such as immunosuppressive medication.

description: Starting with Plato's definition by division or search for essences, Warfield explains how partitioning can be used to systematically represent the set of possible divisions and then count the possibilities. He then makes a series of propositions related to the state of science. The paper concludes with a look at the potential benifits of a science and how to reason about a science. John N.

description: Background: An internal abdominal hernia is defined as the protrusion of a viscus through a mesenteric or peritoneal aperture within the peritoneal cavity. A less common type of internal herniation is a small bowel herniation through a defect in the falciform ligament of the liver. This defect can be congenital or iatrogenic after penetration of the falciform ligament with a trocar during laparoscopic surgery. Methods: We present a case report illustrating an internal herniation through an iatrogenic defect in the falciform ligament of the liver. Results: A 78-year-old man comes to the emergency department with severe abdominal pain for several hours. Laparoscopic exploration shows a small bowel herniation through an iatrogenic defect of the falciform ligament after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Reduction of the internal herniation is performed. Due to subsequently small bowel necrosis, a small bowel resection with primary anastomosis has to be performed too. Conclusion: Small bowel herniation through an iatrogenic defect in the falciform ligament is very rare. However, it can lead to severe complications such as small bowel necrosis. To prevent internal herniation, we strongly suggest immediate repair or division of the falciform ligament when an iatrogenic defect is created during laparoscopic procedures.

THE COMPLEXITY OF ROS DETECTION IN HARSH ENVIRONMENTS SUCH AS THE PHAGOSOME
Creators: name: NÜSSE, Oliver
Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: Detection of ROS faces many difficulties such as lack of specificity and sensitivity. An additional difficulties arises, when the ROS-sensor is sensitive to environmental conditions other than ROS. The most prominent case is sensitivity to pH. I will illustrate the problem taking the phagosome as an example, where ROS production occurs parallel to pH changes and other biochemical modifications. Special controls are required to validate the usefulness of a ROS detector in such a harsh environment. Fluorescent proteins are increasingly used to create biosensors.
We have characterized the ROS sensitivity of several fluorescent proteins, which are potential biosensors for ROS. I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these proteins in the context of ROS detection.

description: Introduction: Gastric cancer is a deadly disease. Common sites of distant metastasis of gastric cancer are the peritoneum, liver, lymph nodes, and lung. The breast is a rare site of metastasis in gastric cancer which occurs in males dominantly. Patients and methods: Here, we report the first case of metastatic gastric cancer to the breast in a patient with the breast cancer 2 (BRCA2) germline mutation. A 34-year-old female was admitted to the hospital with dyspepsia and a palpable mass in the left breast. Gastric cancer was confirmed to be signet ring cell adenocarcinoma. The breast mass exhibited histological properties consistent with gastric cancer. Immunohistochemistry results showed the breast tumor was CDX-2 and CK20-positive, but ER-, CK7-, and GATA3-negative. The BRCA1 gene had a wild-type sequence, but a heterozygous variant was discovered in BRCA2 in exon 10 (c.1744A > C, p.T582P); the significance of this variant is unknown. Results: The patient received palliative XELOX (capecitabine + oxaliplatin) with radiation therapy to the stomach. The breast tumor resolved completely, but the overall response was partial. Conclusion: Gastric cancer metastasis to the breast is rare, but should be considered in young female patients with signet ring cell type gastric cancer.

description: Oxidative stress (OS) had been evaluated in NSCLC using photoproduced singlet oxygen (1O2) deactivating by oxydizing its targets directly or through secondary reactive oxygen species (SOS) production. Either experimentally (orthotopic grafts in mice) or clinically OS changed non linearly with progression. At time of cachexia OS dramatically increased when at a resectable stage in was lower than in controls.
In both cases it correlated with a worse prognosis. Vit C or Vit C+GSH have nearly no effect in resectable NSCLC patients but a negative one in controls. Vit E or Vit E + Vit C have a stronger protective effect in NSCLC, dose dependent but not related to the pathology. There was a trend to an inverse relationship OS/Vit D. An eventual adjuvant supplementation during cancers should by controlled on a per-patient basis.
