Cobalamin Malabsorption due to a Dysfunctional Intrinsic Factor by Jeanne Drouin, Nadia Mikhael

“…Patient gastric juice bound cobalamin normally but did not promote uptake of this vitamin by homogenates of guinea pig intestinal mucosa. A family study showed normal cobalamin absorption for all tested subjects, as well as two α-hemoglobin gene deletions in the father and a single α-gene deletion in the patient. …”

Were sanctuary wells in Roman Gaul intentionally contaminated using animal carcasses (3rd–4th c. AD)? by Sébastien Lepetz, Alice Bourgois

“…Alongside these wild species, the paper also considers the role of domestic animals (e.g., ox, pig, dog and cat) found in the assemblages. It appears that the principal objective of these deposits was to render the structure unsuitable and to prevent any subsequent use by contaminating the wells and making the water inaccessible and impure.…”

Electroacupuncture alleviates damage to myopic RGCs probably through lncRNA-XR_002789763.1-mediated mitophagy by Xuejun Wang, Qinghong Lin, Li Tian, Xiaoying Li, Teruko Fukuyama, Weijung Ten, Xiehe Kong, Yanting Yang, Xiaopeng Ma, Xingtao Zhou

“…Methods Our study investigated the modulatory effect of EA on mitophagy in RGCs of guinea pigs with form-deprived myopia (FDM). RNA sequencing was performed to further analyze the expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs in RGCs of guinea pigs with FDM after EA treatment, and the related competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was constructed. …”
