Effects of Electroacupuncture at Fengchi Acupoint on Myosatellite Cells and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB Signaling Pathway in Chronic Cervical Muscle Injury Rats by HUANG Yuting, CHEN Jiayan, KAN Yu, FANG Yanping, WANG Jinwei, ZHENG Linyao, JING Xianghong, LIAO Jun

“…Compared with the model group, the EA group showed that myofibrils were clearly visible, cross-section of the myofibrils was punctured, sarcomere and serosa were intact, some mitochondria were swollen, and a few of them had vacuoles at the fracture of myofibrils. Myofibril structure of the meloxicam group was occasionally irregular, with vacuoles at the fracture of myofibril and a small amount of mitochondrial swelling. 2) Immunohistochemistry: Compared with the blank group, expression of PCNA and MyoD in model group was weakly positive, and protein expression of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κBp65 significantly increased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). …”

Determination of a normal orogenic palaeo-geothermal gradient with clay mineral and organic matter indices: a review by Rafael Ferreiro Mählmann, Meinert Rahn, Sébastien Potel, Lan Nguyen-Thanh, Rainer Petschick

“…For the detection of a poly-phase or plurifacial thermal history, several indices of clay minerals and organic matter with very different kinetics should be used, as e.g. demonstrated by strong differences in smectite content at equal VR/KI values versus structural depth. A specific interest is given to the correlation of vitrinite like solid bitumen reflectance as an alternative method to VR, the persistent preservation of liptinite macerals and the stability range of clay minerals and sub-greenschist facies critical minerals compared with VR/KI data. …”
