Video Spectral Methods and Tools for Monitoring of Controlled Parameters of Forest Fires and Oil Spill Accidents by A. S. Sizikov, Y. V. Belyaev, I. M. Tsykman, A. P. Popkov

“…Its purpose, composition and main technical parameters were indicated.Spectral-polarization studies of the characteristics of samples that simulates objects (pollution) of natural (forest fires) and man-made (oil spills) emergencies were performed with the help of complex “Vizir” using polarizing nozzles under various conditions (angles of illumination, observation, pollution concentration, the time that passed since the contamination, the degree of wood thermal damage). The results of studies made it possible to increase the accuracy of identification of monitoring objects in emergency zones up to two times.The main provisions of the two developed methods were outlined. …”

Treatment of Radiation Bone Injury with Transplanted hUCB-MSCs via Wnt/β-Catenin by Yufeng Zhang, Huaxin Deng, Zhiqiang Yang, Zhe Chen, Sheng Zhang, Yufan Zhu, Min Yang, Houcheng Zhong, Fuling Zhou, Yuanlong Xie, Lin Cai

“…We found that radiation can damage the DNA of osteoblasts; induce apoptosis; reduce the differentiation, migration, and adhesion of osteoblasts, leading to lipogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and reducing the source of osteoblasts; and increase the number of osteoclasts in bone tissue, while MSC treatment prevents these changes. …”

Health benefits of algae and marine-derived bioactive metabolites for modulating ulcerative colitis symptoms by Najmeh Oliyaei, Saghar Zekri, Aida Iraji, Alireza Oliyaei, Romina Tanideh, Nadiar M. Mussin, Amin Tamadon, Nader Tanideh

“…It has been reported that algal sulfated polysaccharides, peptides, pigments, polyphenols, and marine oil are useful for controlling ulcerative colitis via different pathways including modulating of TNF-α and other related inflammatory cytokines secretion, increasing the antioxidant enzymes [superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase(CAT)] activities, reduction of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) production, improving the intestinal barrier function and repairing histological damage in the colon. This review focused on the pathology of ulcerative colitis, pathogenesis and key inflammatory pathways, and the role of algae and marine-based metabolites for reduction of ulcerative colitis signs via alleviating the inflammation cytokines secretion, and improving the barrier function and gut microbiota.…”

“…Biomarker analyses revealed increased lysozyme, glutathione S-transferase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase activities in healthy sponges during August, while malondialdehyde levels, indicating oxidative damage, were higher in affected sponges. In conclusion, affected sponges exhibited elevated CFU counts of <i>Vibrio</i> spp. and reduced antioxidant and detoxification responses under elevated temperatures. …”

A Protective Role of Canonical Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway in Pathogenic Bacteria-Induced Inflammatory Responses by Zhongjia Jiang, Weiping Zhou, Xing Tian, Peng Zou, Ning Li, Chunmeng Zhang, Yanting Li, Guangyan Liu

“…A baseline extent of inflammation is supposed to be tightly associated with a sequence of immune-modulated processes, resulting in the protection of the host organism against pathogen invasion; however, as a matter of fact is that an uncontrolled inflammatory cascade is the main factor responsible for the host damage, accordingly suggesting a significant and indispensable involvement of negative feedback mechanism in modulation of inflammation. …”
