Insulin Stimulative and Anti-Oxidative Effects of Persea americana Fruit Extract on Streptozotocin Induced Hyperglycemic Rats

The insulin stimulative and antioxidative effect of Persea americana fruits extract were evaluated in streptozotocin (STZ). The ethanolic extract of P.americana at a concentration of 300mg/kg body weight/rat/day was orally administered to STZ-induced hyperglycemic rats for a period of 30 days. The elevated levels of blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood urea, and serum creatinine in the hyperglycemic rats reverted back to near normal after treatment with the avocado fruit extract. Similarly significant decreases in the levels of plasma insulin and the hemoglobin were elevated to near normal after treatment with fruit extract, suggesting the insulin stimulative effect of P.americana fruit. Determination of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), hydroperoxides, and both enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidant evidenced the antioxidative potential of the extract of avocado fruit, which in turn may be responsible for its hypoglycemic potential. Alterations observed in the activities of pathophysiological enzymes such as serum aspartate transaminase (AST), serum alanine transaminase (ALT), and serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the serum of control and experimental groups of rats revealed the tissue protective nature of Persea americana fruits in comparison with glyclazide, the standard reference drug.

The role of resident monocytes and vascular pericytes in the stem cell niche and regenerative medicine

The perivascular tissue-specific stem cell niche (SCN) determines nuclear reprogramming of multipotent stem cells into particular cell types in distinct tissues in vivo. It represents a morphostatic (homeostatic) mechanism executed by the so-called tissue control system (TCS), which is associated with postcapillary venules and consists of vascular pericytes regulated by the autonomic nervous system and of resident perivascular monocytederived cells. Tissue morphostasis executed by the TCS is a complex procedure consisting of three processes: i) Stem cell and tissue renewal by asymmetric division of stem cells, ii) Preservation of tissue cells in a properly differentiated (functional) state, and iii) Maintenance of tissue quantity. The TCSmediated functional preservation of tissuespecific cells is established during the morphogenetic critical developmental period, such as developmental immune adaptation, as a stop effect at the level of resident self-renewing tissue monocyte-derived cells (MDC), and its function declines with advancing age. The functional stop effect differs between the tissues, and an inhibition or acceleration of tissue differentiation during the critical developmental period can result in persistent functional immaturity or premature tissue aging. In addition, a retardation of tissue development can cause an earlier failure of that tissue function, like a premature ovarian failure. A promising approach in regenerative medicine is a chemical approach, such as the combination of sex steroids stimulating growth of endogenous stem cells for neuronal, vascular, and cardiac repair. Sex steroid combinations and doses for clinical applications are suggested. Regenerative medicine may be more successful in acute/traumatic disorders with intact morphostatic SCN compared to the chronic and degenerative diseases caused by an altered SCN. If we attain the capacity to repair the function of altered SCN and the tissue- specific stop effect by trascriptional therapy, we may be able to provide novel treatments for early postnatal tissue disorders, improve regenerative medicine, and delay aging.

The SmartVision Navigation Prototype for the Blind

Abstract 1 — The goal of the project &amp;quot;SmartVision: active vision for the blind &amp;quot; is to develop a small and portable but intelligent and reliable system for assisting the blind and visually impaired while navigating autonomously, both outdoor and indoor. In this paper we present an overview of the prototype, design issues, and its different modules which integrate a GIS with GPS, Wi-Fi, RFID tags and computer vision. The prototype addresses global navigation by following known landmarks, local navigation with path tracking and obstacle avoidance, and object recognition. The system does not replace the white cane, but extends it beyond its reach. The userfriendly interface consists of a 4-button hand-held box, a vibration actuator in the handle of the cane, and speech synthesis. A future version may also employ active RFID tags for marking navigation landmarks, and speech recognition may complement speech synthesis. I.

A global systematic review of publications concerning the invasion biology of four tree species

Abstract Paper presents a systematic global review of Acer negundo , Fraxinus pennsylvanica , Ailanthus altissima , Robinia pseudoacacia invasions focusing on the Scopus and Web of Science databases. We examined the data on papers, study areas, habitat studied, topic discussed. We hypothesized that these species were studied evenly throughout their invaded ranges and, as such, indexed by international databases. We asked whether four selected species are presented evenly in publications related to their invaded ranges, and whether both selected databases cover well a content of these papers. We found 48 papers for A. negundo , 14 – for F. pennsylvanica , 83 – for A. altissima , 96 – for R. pseudoacacia . A high percentage of the studies were conducted in Central Europe and USA (for A. altissima ), while Eastern Europe, Russia, Western United States were poorly represented. Most studies were conducted in forests, and focused on impacts or distribution of aliens in invaded range, and their control and management. We encountered habitat types invaded by trees, factors influencing tree invasions, consequences of invaders’ impact on ecosystems, counteracting measures. We concluded that the use only Web of Science and Scopus is not sufficient to obtain the complete data about the invasion biology.

A comparative study of the effect of O<sup>+7</sup>ion beam on polypyrrole and CR-39 (DOP) polymers

Polypyrrole thin films doped with para-toluene sulphonic acid were prepared by the electrochemical process. High-energy ion beam irradiation of the polymers is an effective technique to enhance the electrical conductivity, structural property and mechanical properties. So polypyrrole and allyl diglycol carbonate (CR-39 (DOP)) films were irradiated by oxygen ions (energy 100 MeV, charge state O+7) with fluence varying from 1 × 1010 to 1 × 1013 ions cm−2. The effects of swift heavy ions (SHI) on the structural, optical and surface properties of polypyrrole (Ppy) and CR-39 (DOP) polymers were studied in this work using x-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD patterns of the pristine and irradiated polymer show that the crystallinity improved after the irradiation with SHI. At the low fluence, crystallinity was found to increase but at high fluence, it decreases which could be attributed to cross-linking and degradation mechanism. The UV–visible spectra show a shift in the absorbance edge towards higher wavelength, which can be correlated with the transition involved in the polymer and variation in the band gap using Tauc's expression. The band gap of polypyrrole was found to decrease from 3.4 to 3.0 eV after irradiation. CR-39 (DOP), however, showed a very large change in the band gap from 4.8 to 3.4 eV. The SEM study shows a systematic change in the surface morphology of the polymers with increasing ion fluence.

Missing in Action: Reconstructing Hope and Possibility Among Latino Students Placed at Risk

Abstract Latino students are noticeably underrepresented in post-secondary education. Their inability to access critical information about educational opportunities has resulted in low numbers of students gaining admission to colleges and universities, particularly 4-year institutions. The lack of preparation and support in their journey to earn a college degree can prove to be a challenging one given their academic histories. The educational opportunity program described here serves students who meet one or more of these factors: 1st-generation college students, low-income, demographically underrepresented, and identified as having the need for additional academic support services for college level work.

RESEARCH FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE ELASTOMERIC INSULATION MATERIALS

Abstract : The quantity of carbon-aceous residue formed by thermal decomposition of the rubber can be increased by using a supported Ni catalyst for part of the refractory normally used in an elastomeric insulating material. Ni metal catalysts are more effective in saturated rubbers than in diene rubbers. Initial decomposition products from a butyl rubber appear to be more susceptible to catalytic cracking than those from an ethylenepropylene rubber. In all cases, increased yields of carbonaceous residue were accompanied by increase in total quantity of H gas. Refractory support used for the Ni metal catalyst greatly influences activity of the catalyst and appears to affect the strength of the resulting char layer. Increasing C to C crosslinkages in an ethylene- propylene rubber does not increase the quantity of char. Thermal decomposition of 2 uncured commercial elastomeric insulating materials showed the rubbers employed yield a small amount of char. Calculations show that transpirational heating of H gas is the most important mechanism by which a thermally decomposing rubber can absorb heat in an ablating elastomeric insulating material. The heat sink effect of the C is the next most important mechanism.

Data from c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase Inactivation by Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Phosphatase 1 Determines Resistance to Taxanes and Anthracyclines in Breast Cancer

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;MAPK phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) is overexpressed during malignant transformation of the breast in many patients, and it is usually associated with chemoresistance through interference with JNK-driven apoptotic pathways. Although the molecular settings of the mechanism have been documented, details about the contribution of MKP-1 to the failure of chemotherapeutic interventions are unclear. Transient overexpression of MKP-1 and treatment with JNK-modulating agents in breast carcinoma cells confirmed the mediation of MKP-1 in the resistance to taxanes and anthracyclines in breast cancer, through the inactivation of JNK1/2. We next assessed MKP-1 expression and JNK1/2 phosphorylation status in a large cohort of samples from 350 early breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant anthracycline–based chemotherapy. We detected that MKP-1 overexpression is a recurrent event predominantly linked to dephosphorylation of JNK1/2 with an adverse impact on relapse of the tumor and overall and disease-free survival. Moreover, MKP-1 and p-JNK1/2 determinations in 64 locally advanced breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant taxane–based chemotherapy showed an inverse correlation between MKP-1 overexpression (together with JNK1/2 inhibition) and the pathologic response of the tumors. Our results emphasize the importance of MKP-1 as a potential predictive biomarker for a subset of breast cancer patients with worse outcome and less susceptibility to treatment. &lt;i&gt;Mol Cancer Ther; 15(11); 2780–90. ©2016 AACR&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Thermal design of the Cosmic Background Explorer cryogenic optical assembly

The Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) is a satellite which is designed to study the 3-K cosmic background radiation. Two cryogenic instruments and a common support structure comprise the Cryogenic Optical Assembly (COA). In order to make definitive measurements of the low-energy FIR radiation, the temperature of the COA must be maintained below 3 K. Temperature control of the COA elements is achieved by the use of a superfluid helium dewar. The thermal design also minimizes power dissipation, transient operational effects, and thermal gradients within the COA. This is accomplished by isolating selected components and heat-sinking others to various locations on the cryogen tank. The thermal design was developed primarily through analysis. Analytical models were created to perform parametric design studies. Ground testing was performed to correlate the thermal models and validate the thermal design. Both test and flight data confirmed that all design requirements were either met or exceeded.

Trends in Plant-Based Substitutes for Animal Proteins

The increasing world population requires a sufficient production of crops and animals for food use, and the production needs to be environmentally and socially sustainable. Meat analogues made from plant, fungal, and insect proteins are expected to serve as a substitute for animal meats. Plant-derived proteins (plant proteins), which are attracting great attention, are focused on in this review as meat and dairy substitutes, since plant proteins may help mankind as a substitute for animal proteins to achieve a secure supply of proteins worldwide while also responding to the demand for plant-derived products by vegetarians and vegans. Aspects discussed in this review also include the role of soybeans as one of the key plant protein sources; its recent production in the world has been increasing due to the extended harvest area of genetically modified soybean varieties. Plant proteins can be processed by extrusion to give meat-like textures. In addition, plant proteins from soybean, wheat, and other plants have traditionally been utilized via fermentation in Japan and other Asian countries. It is expected that the fermentation methods used for those traditional plant protein foods as well as other processing technologies could be applied to produce novel foods based on plant proteins.

Tractability of sampling recovery on unweighted function classes

It is well-known that the problem of sampling recovery in the $L_2$-norm on unweighted Korobov spaces (Sobolev spaces with mixed smoothness) as well as classical smoothness classes such as Hölder classes suffers from the curse of dimensionality. We show that the problem is tractable for those classes if they are intersected with the Wiener algebra of functions with summable Fourier coefficients. In fact, this is a relatively simple implication of powerful results from the theory of compressed sensing. Tractability is achieved by the use of non-linear algorithms, while linear algorithms cannot do the job.

Dental Implications Of Domestic Violence Against Nigerian Women – A Pilot Study

Domestic violence is a pattern of violent behaviour including physical, sexual and psychological attacks as well as economic coercion used against intimate partner. This study is aimed at creating awareness of the dental implications of domestic violence against women in Nigeria, to demonstrate that Dental professionals are in the position to recognize such abuse so that early identification, appropriate intervention and long term solutions can be provided. Clinical data were collected on 538 female adult attendants in a private clinic in Benin City for a period 2 ½ years and analysed by Microsoft excel package. A total of 538 female studied for domestic violence, 13 or 2.28% suffered physical assault from their partners. Out of the 13 (thirteen) victims 6 (six) or forty-six percent (46%) were assaulted by their husbands while boyfriends assaulted 7 or fifty – four percent (54%). Higher educational status of the victims correlated positively with early presentation at the clinic. However, it was observed that 11 (eleven) out of the 13 (thirteen) presented first in pharmacy shops for treatment. There was no police report in all of these 13 (thirteen) cases of domestic violence. Although this study is limited, the result, points to the fact that injury from domestic violence in the oral facial region is not uncommon.
