Muslim Bank as a Historical Category: Creating Credit Institutions for Muslims In the First Half of the 20 ^th Century by R. I. Bekkin

“…The article emphasizes that Muslim banks in their activities relied on the theological and legal conclusions (fatwas) of Islamic scholars who considered such activities legitimate and not falling under the Quranic concept of usury.The author adheres to the point of view that the creation of an independent state or nationalterritorial / national-cultural autonomy of Muslims was a natural result of the struggle of the Muslim bourgeoisie with competitors for the markets for goods and services in a number of countries and regions, considering both Muslim and Islamic banks only as a certain stage in the development of banking in a number of countries in Asia, Africa and Europe.The article disputes the idea that both Islamic banks and the Islamic economic model as a whole are monolithic structures that cannot be modified. According to the author, the very creation of Islamic banks, as well as their convergence with conventional (non-Islamic) credit institutions, which we observe today, is a natural result of a change in the economic interests of the ruling class both in the countries of the spread of Islam and in the Western world.The article examines the history of the creation of Muslim banks in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in British India. …”

Ameliorative Effect of Hovenia dulcis Fruit Pedicel Polysaccharides on Alcohol-Induced Intestinal Injury in Mice Investigated Using 16S rRNA Sequencing and Metabolomics by ZHANG Yuchao, ZHU Sijie, LIU Liangyu, WANG Jianyun, ZHANG Jiaxin, SU Zexiong, CHEN Jiangyan, LIU Xudong

“…The results indicated that HDPs significantly reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory factors such as interleukin-4 (IL-4), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in mice with intestinal injury induced by alcohol, decreased the levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), increased the level of α-amylase (AMS), and upregulated the tight junction protein Claudin 1, thereby improving intestinal barrier function. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that compared to mice gavaged with alcohol at 114 µL/20 g mb, HDPs increased the abundance of the Lactobacillus genus and reduced alcohol exposure-induced disorders in gut microbiota diversity and structure. Metabolomics analysis found that HDPs could regulate bile acid metabolism and reduce the levels of bile acids (especially taurocholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid) in the intestine of alcohol-exposed mice. …”

人胚胎干细胞神经分化的方法探讨

“…【目的】 利用新建系的人胚胎干细胞株SYSU-7,运用胚体形成的方法,探讨不同的分化条件对胚胎干细胞神经分化的影响【方法】 首先检测人胚胎干细胞株SYSU-7的Oct4SSEA4(stage-specific embryonic antigen-4)TRA-1-60和AKP(Alkaline phosphatase)等胚胎干细胞特异性标志物的表达及体内外三胚层分化的能力;之后,应用含20% Knockout Serum Replacement (KSR)的培养液和神经干细胞培养液(neural progenitor medium, NPM)分别诱导细胞形成悬浮的拟胚体(悬浮时间为4 d或7 d),然后将拟胚体贴壁于多聚鸟氨酸(Polyornithine, PO)和纤维粘连蛋白(Fibronectin, FN)包被的培养皿中继续培养4 ~ 10 d在分化的不同时间点利用免疫荧光染色的方法检测胚胎干细胞和神经细胞相关的标志性抗原【结果】 SYSU-7胚胎干细胞表达未分化细胞特异性标志Oct4SSEA4,TRA-1-60,AKP染色呈强阳性,在体内外具有向三胚层分化的潜能;在体外诱导其向神经分化,结果发现KSR培养液比神经干细胞培养液更有利于胚胎干细胞的神经分化,悬浮生长7 d的拟胚体贴壁后出现特征性的玫瑰花环样结构(rosette structure)的时间更早数量更多【结论】 SYSU-7细胞系具有自我更新及多向分化潜能等胚胎干细胞特性本实验为研究人胚胎干细胞的神经分化提供了新的细胞模型和研究思路…”
