PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF CULMS IN RYE (SECALE CEREALE L.) WITH A BRITTLE STEM by A. A. Konovalov, I. K. Shundrina, E. V. Karpova, V. I. Mamatyuk

“…The normal plants had much higher proportional limits and mechanical strength values.By means of NMR method differences were found in the lignin chemical structure, such as the content of aldehyde and methohyl groups, total aromaticity and the number of ether bonds, by which lignin blocks are linked to carbohydrate fragments of cellular walls.The higher lignin content in the mutant does not improve culm mechanical strength. …”

Caffeoylquinic Acid Derivatives Extract of Erigeron multiradiatus Alleviated Acute Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Rats through Inhibiting NF-KappaB and JNK Activations by Zhifeng Zhang, Yuan Liu, Xuecong Ren, Hua Zhou, Kaishun Wang, Hao Zhang, Pei Luo

“…Our results suggested that cardioprotective effect of AE could be due to suppressing myocardial inflammatory response and blocking NF-κB and JNK activation pathway. Thus, caffeoylquinic acids might be the active compounds in E. multiradiatus on myocardial ischemia and be a potential natural drug for treating myocardial I/R injury.…”

Connectivity and community structure of online and register-based social networks by Márton Menyhért, Eszter Bokányi, Rense Corten, Eelke M. Heemskerk, Yuliia Kazmina, Frank W. Takes

“…Instead, communities appear to either center around large metropolitan areas or, outside of the country’s most urbanized area, comprise large blocks of interdependent municipalities. Beyond population and distance-related patterns, communities also highlight the persistence of deeply rooted sociocultural communities such as the Dutch Bible belt. …”

Midkine Is a Novel Regulator of Amphetamine-Induced Striatal Gliosis and Cognitive Impairment: Evidence for a Stimulus-Dependent Regulation of Neuroinflammation by Midkine by Marta Vicente-Rodríguez, Rosalía Fernández-Calle, Esther Gramage, Carmen Pérez-García, María P. Ramos, Gonzalo Herradón

“…Surprisingly, LPS-induced astrogliosis in the striatum was blocked in MK−/− mice. Since striatal neuroinflammation induced by amphetamine-type stimulants correlates with the cognitive deficits induced by these drugs, we also tested the long-term effects of periadolescent amphetamine treatment (3 mg/kg i.p. daily for 10 days) in a memory task in MK−/− and WT mice. …”
