Effect of Every-other-day Fasting on Level of Serum TNF-α in Rats after Acute Spinal Cord Injury by Jiancheng LIU, Wenchun WANG, Shaojie LUO, Yanbo LI, Yunhui ZHAO, Rizhao PANG, Chao DONG, Shanshan ZHANG, Anren ZHANG

“…The level of serum TNF-α was increased in group A and group B after operation, and there were significant differences in the index between the two groups at 1st day, 3rd day and 7th day after operation (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).Conclusion:EODF can improve the hind limb motor function of rats after acute spinal cord injury. The mechanism may be related with suppressing expression of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, inhibiting inflammatory response and reducing secondary injury.…”

Oral Tolerance: A New Tool for the Treatment of Gastrointestinal Inflammatory Disorders and Liver-Directed Gene Therapy by Yaron Ilan

“…The use of oral tolerance toward adenoviruses and colitis-extracted proteins for long term gene therapy and alleviation of experimental colitis, and the mechanisms of tolerance induction are presented. Adenoviruses are efficient vectors in liver-directed gene therapy; however, the antiviral immune response precludes the ability to achieve long term gene expression and prohibits the ability to reinject the recombinant virus. …”

CONTRADICTION OF FREEDOM AND PARADOXES OF RESPONSIBILITY (ANTHROPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS) by Z. V. Stezhko, Y. G. Stezhко

“…Originality of the research is: in substantiating the significance of contemporary philosophical analysis of the content of key concepts of democracy ‑ «freedom» and «responsibility»; in revealing the mechanism of the functioning of concepts of freedom and responsibility in different ideologies and various spheres of public life; in conducting a philosophical analysis of the notion of responsibility, in revealing the reasons for the paradoxical nature of its manifestations; in outlining the scientific and didactic potential of the philosophical research of categories of freedom and responsibility in the practice of democratic processes; in posing the question of the need to take into account the hierarchy of the content of freedom (delineation of the word, concept, category). …”

Combination drug therapy prevents CIAKI by suppressing ER stress-induced apoptosis by Xuan Wang, Shan Han, Lili Zhao, Hongliang Cong

“…Atorvastatin, probucol and alprostadil can prevent the occurrence of CIAKI, and the ERS-induced apoptosis pathway is involved in this mechanism. The protective effect of probucol or alprostadil combined with atorvastatin on CIAKI may be stronger than that of atorvastatin alone, with a greater effect of the combination of alprostadil and atorvastatin.…”
