Application of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticle-Chitosan-Loaded BMP-2 in the Repair of Bone Defect in Chronic Osteomyelitis by Min Yi, Yu Nie, Chengyun Zhang, Bin Shen

“…Otherwise, we found that the permeation efficiency of Chi-MSN was significantly higher than that of PLGA delivery system, so as to effectively transport BMP-2 and Dex to action target. In the BMSC test, we found that Chi-MSN could better promote their activity and osteogenesis, and the expression of osteogenesis-related genes (runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX-2), osteopontine (OPN), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and osteopontine (OCN)) in the Chi-MSN group was higher. …”

Excès et sacré dans la littérature victorienne et édouardienne by Annie Escuret

“…Bataille constructs his heterology around the threshold of the sacred, the line marked by interdictions that solicit transgressive action. If heterology centers on the sacred as posited by those things which are hidden, objects of revulsion such as the body’s excreta (tears, sweat, blood…), the sacrificial banquet stands for the opposite, for ingestion and communion.…”
