THE INFLUENCE OF THE OVARIAN HORMONES ON THE ACTOMYOSIN CONTENT AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF TENSION IN UTERINE MUSCLE

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

SUMMARY Actomyosin concentrations and tensions were measured in the rabbit uterus during pregnancy and in ovariectomized hormone-treated animals. The results showed that actomyosin concentration and tension in g./mm. 2 longitudinal muscle followed similar courses during pregnancy. This was not so in the hormone-treated animals. Small quantities of oestrogen were sufficient in ovariectomized animals to produce a major difference between the untreated and treated animals. With higher doses only the concentration of the actomyosin increased linearly. During pregnancy a significant correlation was found between the number of foetuses in each horn, the quantity of actomyosin and the weight of the horn. The major increase in tension and actomyosin concentration occurred in the last half of pregnancy when the increase in uterine volume accelerates. The importance of this growth, as opposed to hormonal environment, was further emphasized by experiments in unilaterally pregnant rabbits in which both these quantities were significantly greater in the parous horn than in the non-parous horn. The effects of progesterone were also investigated.
Determining realistic scenarios for genome rearrangement events under biological constraints

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Genome organization is known to evolve by undergoing evolutionary events such as rearrangement operations, which essentially invert or translocate regions of the genomes. To measure similarities and differences between genomes, several algorithms have been proposed to calculate distances and to find parsimonious evolutionary scenarios. However, maximum parsimony approaches propose solutions that might not represent the true evolutionary distance between genomes, as evolution may not necessarily take the shortest path. In order to infer more realistic scenarios, more information must be considered. In this thesis, I explore the use of intergenic regions in a model that uses Bayesian inference to produce realistic evolutionary scenarios between two genomes. The model presented here, which considers only reversal events, shows promising results and paves the way for the introduction of more events in the near future, such as translocations, duplications, deletions, fissions and fusions.
FACTORS IN STEREOSCOPIC VISION AND IN THE VISUAL ESTIMATION OF DISTANCE

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

VISIONfact that our specimens show new formed blood-vessels in the inflammatory tissue within the vitreous of certain of these eyeballs lends some support to such a contention.The conditions are, however, not quite parallel, the lymph channels in the cornea being, under normal conditions, more definite than those in the vitreous, where the process of nutrition is conducted by osmosis rather than by lymph flow.The vascularization of the cornea takes place much more readily in its more highly organized structure than does the same process in the vitreous.In the end, however, the difference would appear to be a matter of degree rather than of kind.So long as those who use the ferms understand exactly what they mean, little harm can be done, but, isasmuch as those terms will be transmitted to students and to many others, whose compre- hension of the position will not be clear, it seems a pity to use the term " hyalitis."The appearances so constantly observed in the vitreous, taken together with those found in several of the optic nerves, would seem to lend strong support to the view that some, at least, of the lymph from the eye takes a backward passage and escapes by channels in, or in the neighbourhood of, the optic nerve.This phenomenon serves to explain the occurrence of optic neuritis as a complication of septic wounds of the anterior segment of the globe.
Synergistic Impact of 'Bioceramic Resonance and Photoluminescence' with Visual/Auditory Thematic Stimulation System: Evaluating Effects on Body, Emotion, Perception and Consciousness Assessment (Preprint)

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND

This study explores the integration of 'Bioceramic Resonance and Photoluminescence' (BR&PLB) with a Visual/Auditory Thematic Stimulation System (VASS) to address stress, mental imbalances, and altered states.

OBJECTIVE

Against Taiwan's evolving economic landscape, conventional medical systems often struggle to address health complexities.

METHODS

The material and methods section elucidates BIOCERAMIC technology's biophysical effects and PLB development, highlighting VASS's use with thematic stimuli for enhancement. Twenty-five participants, aged 18 to 80, sought relief from pain, emotional distress, or desired self-awareness.

RESULTS

The experimental protocol involved BR&PLB with VASS exposure, assessing improvements in physical, emotional, and consciousness states. Statistical analyses revealed reductions in pain and anxiety, with consciousness level increases post-exposure.

CONCLUSIONS

Discussion integrates prior research, emphasizing technology's impact on altered consciousness and therapeutic potential for mental health. Insights from emotional problems, drug withdrawal, and extrasensory perception studies add to understanding. Comparisons with virtual reality studies highlight BR&PLB and VASS integration advantages. This approach shows promise for reducing pain, stress, anxiety, and enhancing consciousness levels, though further research is needed for validation. Combining BR&PLB with VASS could be a significant pathway to overall well-being. The integration of BR&PLB with VASS demonstrates stress reduction, anxiety alleviation, and heightened consciousness levels. This approach emerges as a valuable intervention for comprehensive well-being, requiring larger-scale studies for validation. The exploration positions it as a noteworthy pathway in holistic well-being pursuit. Considered within the ‘States of Consciousness Questionnaire’ framework, the integrated approach facilitates physical improvement, emotional well-being, and nuanced consciousness shifts, offering a holistic perspective and emphasizing multifaceted benefits.

CLINICALTRIAL

The study protocol received approval from the Human Subjects Committee (approval no.: TYGH111092) of Taoyuan General Hospital
Current Trends in the Pharmacotherapy of Cataracts

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Cataracts, one of the leading causes of preventable blindness worldwide, refers to lens degradation that is characterized by clouding, with consequent blurry vision. As life expectancies improve, the number of people affected with cataracts is predicted to increase worldwide, especially in low-income nations with limited access to surgery. Although cataract surgery is considered safe, it is associated with some complications such as retinal detachment, warranting a search for cheap, pharmacological alternatives to the management of this ocular disease. The lens is richly endowed with a complex system of non-enzymatic and enzymatic antioxidants which scavenge reactive oxygen species to preserve lens proteins. Depletion and/or failure in this primary antioxidant defense system contributes to the damage observed in lenticular molecules and their repair mechanisms, ultimately causing cataracts. Several attempts have been made to counteract experimentally induced cataract using in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo techniques. The majority of the anti-cataract compounds tested, including plant extracts and naturally-occurring compounds, lies in their antioxidant and/or free radical scavenging and/or anti-inflammatory propensity. In addition to providing an overview of the pathophysiology of cataracts, this review focuses on the role of various categories of natural and synthetic compounds on experimentally-induced cataracts.
Analysis of Mn-depositis from the Briançon area, France

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

This text offers a general introduction to the geological history of the North-Tethys Platform from the Malm to the Lower Eocene periods. It is followed by three parts: a sedimentology development, a geochemical study and a part devoted to the reconstitution of the environment and the sedimentation rates, the subsidence, the depth and the morphology of the seabed and therefore the paleogeography of the Briançonnais domain. The last two chapters deal, one with the evolution of the Briançonnais domain in the context of events affecting Western Tethys and the Central Atlantic, and the other with two sedimentation models deduced from the previous study.
Abnormal Cochlear Potentials recorded by Transtympanic Electrocochleography from Patients with Auditory Neuropathy due to Mutations in the Otoferlin or OPA1 gene

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Auditory neuropathy (AN) is a disorder characterized by disruption of auditory nerve activity resulting from lesions involving the auditory nerve, inner hair cells (IHCs) and/or the synapses. Affected subjects show impairment of speech perception beyond that expected for the hearing loss, abnormality of auditory brainstem potentials and preserved outer hair cell activities (otoacoustic emissions and/or cochlear microphonic, CM). Abnormal neurotransmitter release from IHCs has been proposed as the mechanism underlying AN in patients with mutations in the OTOF gene (pre-synaptic AN), while disruption of auditory nerve function may underlie the disorder with OPA1 mutations (post-synaptic AN).\nTranstympanic electrocochleography was recorded from 4 children with OTOF mutation and 2 adults with mutation in the OPA1 gene. Cochlear potentials to clicks were compared to recordings obtained from 16 normally hearing children. Electrically-evoked compound action potentials (CAPs) were also obtained following cochlear implantation.\nCochlear neural potentials were of negative polarity with reduced amplitude and prolonged duration compared to controls. The prolonged potentials were recorded as low as 50-90 dB below behavioral thresholds in subjects with OTOF mutation whereas in patients with OPA1 mutation they were correlated with behavioral threshold. Auditory CAPs were superimposed on the prolonged responses in 3 subjects with OTOF mutations at high stimulus intensity while they were absent in OPA1 disorder. Electrically-evoked CAPs were only recorded from children with OTOF mutations.\nIn subjects with OTOF mutations the low-threshold prolonged potentials are consistent with abnormal neurotransmitter release resulting in reduced dendritic activation and impairment of spike initiation whereas the lack of CAPs in OPA1 is consistent with abnormal function of distal portions of auditory nerve fibers.

Arab Persian Gulf States' Investment in Russia

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Throughout the past decade, Russia’s main sovereign wealth fund (SWF) - Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) - has forged strategic partnerships in the Middle East to obtain billions in investment for Russia’s energy and infrastructure sectors among others. The oil-rich Arab Persian Gulf states’ SWFs have been the main Middle Eastern sources of this investment. Saudi, Kuwaiti, Emirati, and Qatari investment vehicles have focused heavily on Russia’s roads, airports, seaports along with the country’s major oil, gas, and refining projects.
Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of MinE, the cell-division topological specificity factor fromHelicobacter pylori

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Cell division in Gram-negative bacteria is driven by the formation of an FtsZ ring at the division site. MinE regulates the proper placement of the FtsZ ring at mid-cell by blocking the inhibitory action of the MinCD complex. Diffraction data were collected at 2.8 Å resolution from a native crystal of full-length Helicobacter pylori MinE. The crystal belonged to space group P64. Assuming the presence of two molecules in the asymmetric unit, the calculated Matthews coefficient was 2.58 Å3 Da−1, which corresponds to a solvent content of 52.3%. For MAD phasing, a four-wavelength data set was collected at 3.0 Å resolution.
Molecules to Medicine, Mice to Man: A portion of the Story of Adenosine in the Heart

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The cells of the cardiovascular system generate and release the compound adenosine in increasing quantities when they are “stressed” or subjected to injury/disease. This increased amount extra-cellular adenosine can then interact with receptors in myocardial, vascular, and inflammatory cells to regulate their function. In addition, the adenosine formed can be rapidly re-incorporated back into the cells ‘nucleotide’ pool to aid in maintenance of energy. Via these receptor-dependent and independent (metabolic) paths adenosine plays a crucial role in controlling the balance between energy supply and demand in the heart, and providing tolerance to damaging conditions such as ‘ischaemia’ (myocardial infarction or heart attack). The molecular basis for control of adenosine release, and the precise actions of adenosine, remain incompletely understood. Amongst other things, our research over the past 16 years has contributed to our knowledge regarding formation and actions of adenosine in the normal and diseased heart. What follows is a lay description of some of this work - a portion of the story of adenosine in the heart.

Predictors of Aggressive Behavior While under the Influence of Illicit Drugs among Young Adult Methamphetamine Users

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

These findings indicate a link between methamphetamine-related subjective feelings of aggression or hostility and self-reported aggressive behavior while under the influence of illicit drugs. This suggests that subjective feelings of aggression or hostility may distinguish those who are involved in aggression from other methamphetamine users.
Influence of the Different Prosthesis Designs on Subjective Functional Evaluation after TKA: Medium-Term Outcome Using the 2011 Knee Society Score

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Patient-reported outcome (PRO) has become the focus of increased attention in the assessment of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether different prosthesis designs affected postoperative patient-reported performance. Materials and Methods: We reviewed 216 patients (234 knees) implanted with the Press-Fit Condylar Sigma prosthesis at our institution between January 2009 and December 2011. This study included 76 knees with fixed-bearing cruciate-retaining (FB-CR), 78 knees with fixed-bearing posterior-stabilized (FB-PS), and 80 knees with mobile-bearing posterior-stabilized (MB-PS) designs. The mean follow-up was 8.0 ± 0.74 years. Preoperative and follow-up ratings according to the 2011 Knee Society Score (2011 KSS), range of motion (ROM), and standing femoro-tibial angle (FTA) were obtained for all patients. Additionally, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) scores were collected at last follow-up. Results: Three separate subscales of the 2011 KSS of the three cohorts were significantly improved post-operatively compared to the pre-operative values (p 0.05), except for expectation scores. At the time of follow-up, significantly higher the 2011 Knee Society Functional Scores (P = 0.016) were found in the PS group. In particular, there were significant differences in advanced activities of the 2011 KSFS among the three groups (P = 0.017). Satisfaction scores showed no difference among the three groups (P = 0.251). On the other hand, WOMAC and expectation scores were significantly better in the PS groups. (P = 0.003, P = 0.004). ROM in the MB-PS group (124.0°) was better than that in FB-PS (119.4°) and FB-CR (118.9°) (P = 0.005). On the other hand, additional surgery was needed in five PS knees. Conclusion: The PS prostheses had superior 2011 KSFS, expectation scores, WOMAC scores and ROM than the CR prostheses. In contrast, the postoperative prosthesis-related complication rates were lower with CR prostheses. Further detailed evaluation is necessary to determine whether the characteristics of the different prostheses affect PRO.

Modeling and system identification of transient STOP models of optical systems

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Structural, Thermal, and Optical Performance (STOP) analysis is important for understanding the dynamics and for predicting the performance of a large number of optical systems whose proper functioning is negatively influenced by thermally induced aberrations. Furthermore, STOP models are being used to design and test passive and active methods for the compensation of thermally induced aberrations. However, in many cases and scenarios, the lack of precise knowledge of system parameters and equations governing the dynamics of thermally induced aberrations can significantly deteriorate the prediction accuracy of STOP models. In such cases, STOP models and underlying parameters need to be estimated from the data. To the best of our knowledge, the problem of estimating transient state-space STOP models from the experimental data has not received significant attention. Similarly, little attention has been dedicated to the related problem of obtaining low-dimensional state-space models of thermally induced aberrations that can be used for the design of high-performance model-based control and estimation algorithms. Motivated by this, in this manuscript, we present a numerical proof of principle for estimating low-dimensional state-space models of thermally induced aberrations and for characterizing the transient dynamics. Our approach is based on the COMSOL Multiphysics simulation framework for generating the test data and on a system identification approach. We numerically test our method on a lens system with a temperature-dependent refractive index that is used in high-power laser systems. The dynamics of such a system is complex and described by the coupling of thermal, structural, and ray-tracing models. The approach proposed in this paper can be generalized to other types of optical systems.
AL-FAHMU AND GRAMMAR LEARNING: AN ANALYSIS OF MORPHOLOGY LEARNING METHODS IN AL-FAHMU

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This research is motivated by the problem of learning qawaid. This problem is influenced by many factors, including the textbook. The al-Fahmu book or what is known as the al-Fahmu method is a Qawaid textbook that has been used at the Darussalam al-Fahmu Islamic Boarding School in Pandeglang and often conducts much training in various schools and universities. However, there are still few who conduct research related to the al-Fahmu book. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to analyze the qawaid learning method in the al-Fahmu book and its advantages and disadvantages. So this research uses descriptive qualitative methods with the type of literature research. Data collection techniques from interviews with al-Fahmu authors and al-Fahmu teachers and analyzed using data triangulation. The results found are Qawaid learning with al-Fahmu using the Qiyasiyah method. The advantages of using al-Fahmu are understanding the rules by comparing examples without memorization, rule formulas, using red color for important points, how to mengi-rob, and the formula for reading traditional Arabic text. However, it does not escape the shortcomings that are not equipped with arguments from Imrithi and Alfiyah so students do not know the origin of the rule which is a challenge in the yellow book reading competition. And some vocabulary words that have no meaning so it becomes difficult for students to understand, especially those who are beginners.
