Androgenic Anabolic Steroids Cause Thiol Imbalance in the Vascular Endothelial Cells by Halszka Ponamarczuk, Maria Światkowska, Marcin Popielarski

“…Conclusions: These changes may be related to a thiol-disulfide imbalance and vascular endothelium dysfunction, that are often correlated with abnormal platelet aggregation, inflammation, increased vascular permeability, and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation—all of which are observed in athletes who abuse AASs.…”

Mapping the Active Galactic Nucleus Effects on the Stellar and Gas Properties of NGC 5806 by Sophie L. Robbins, Sandra I. Raimundo, Matthew A. Malkan

“…The dynamics of this galaxy are driven by a large-scale bar, which transports gas from the spiral arm to the central ring and potentially fuels the AGN. We also observe AGN-dominated gas excitation up to 3.3 kpc away from the center of the galaxy, showing the extended AGN effect on the gas in the central regions of the galaxy.…”

Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth and the Orbicularis Oris Muscle: How Do They Behave When Exposed to a Proinflammatory Stimulus? by Alessander Leyendecker Junior, Carla Cristina Gomes Pinheiro, Daniela Yukie Sakai Tanikawa, José Ricardo Muniz Ferreira, Mariane Tami Amano, Daniela Franco Bueno

“…In particular, an increase in intracellular HLA-G expression was observed. The results obtained suggest that SHED and OOMDSCs lack immunogenicity and have immunomodulatory properties that are enhanced when they undergo inflammatory stimulation with IFN-γ, which opens new perspectives for the therapeutic use of these cells.…”

Codeine 3-O-demethylase catalyzed biotransformation of morphinan alkaloids in Escherichia coli: site directed mutagenesis of terminal residues improves enzyme expression, stability... by Garrick W. K. Spencer, Xu Li, Kenny W. L. Lam, George Mutch, Fiona H. Fry, Sally L. Gras

“…Statistical analysis of biotransformation yield, enzyme expression and stability, predicted using changes in Gibbs free energy (ΔΔG) with deep-learning-based model DDmut, suggested that altered enzyme stability and/or expression of soluble protein may contribute to the observed improvements in biotransformation. This approach could be beneficial for screening future codeine 3-O-demethylase mutations and for other enzymes.…”

Thermal analysis of transient MHD ferrofluid flow and natural convection in a Porous cavity with a cylindrical barrier by Pan Zhang, Hassan Roshani, Payam Jalili, Bahram Jalili, Hammad. Alotaibi, Davood Domiri Ganji

“…The boundary conditions are the cylindrical barrier, a part of the lower face of the cavity having a high temperature, the side faces of the cavity having a low temperature, and the remaining parts adiabatic. While observing the non-slip condition in all geometry surfaces, the square cavity, cylindrical barrier, and ferrofluid inside are under the magnetic field's influence. …”

Characterisation of Luffa cylindrica Fibre from Cameroon for Use in Composites: Effect of Alkaline Treatment by Jean Aimé Mono, Assona Appolince Rachelle, Claude Takoumbe, Odette Thérèse Adegono Assiene, Prince Hermann Pokem Nguimjeu, Fabrice Ella Belinga

“…The results obtained show the lightness of the fibre through its low density (0.233-0.419 g·cm-3), and a hydrophilic nature of the fibre is observed through its water absorption capacity (106.86-180.53%), its relative humidity (9.86-15.33%), and its capacity to diffuse water (2.03×10−14 m2·s-1 to 4.61×10−14 m2·s-1), which is close to that of other plant fibres, which means that it can be classified as porous, with possible applications in insulating and lightweight materials. …”

Spatial-Temporal Variations and Influencing Factors of Water-related Ecosystem Services in Southwest China Under Complex Terrain by TANG Shuang, ZHU Chongjing, GAO Jie, BIAN Hongyan

“…[Results] (1) From 1992 to 2020, water yield in Southwest China showed a downward trend, with a notable mutation occurring in 2002; soil erosion showed an increasing trend, with a mutation observed in 1997. (2) The water yield decreased and soil erosion increased with rising altitude. (3) The relative contribution rate of precipitation to both water yield and soil erosion in karst areas was found to be greater than that in non-karst areas. …”
