Does Sex Matter in Obesity-Induced Periodontal Inflammation in the SS^LepR Mutant Rats? by Abdulmohsin Alhashim, Kim Capehart, Jocelyn Tang, Karim M. Saad, Rafik Abdelsayed, Marion A. Cooley, Jan M. Williams, Ahmed A. Elmarakby

“…Although micro-CT analyses of the maxillary first molar alveolar bone from obese SS^LepR mutant rats revealed no evidence of bone loss and/or sex differences, immuno-histochemical analysis revealed significant elevations in periodontal IL-6 and decreases in IL-10 in obese SS^LepR mutant rats vs. lean SS rats, with no apparent sex differences in these parameters. <b>Conclusions:</b> Obesity increases systemic and periodontal inflammation, without evidence of bone loss or apparent sex differences in SS^LepR mutant rats.…”

Openings: the Act of Modelizing and the Question of Complexity by Emilie Janton

“…Richard Powers’ novels are commonly associated with “systems novels” as Tom LeClair first described them, notably because of the constant compositional use the novelist makes of different extra-textual systems (including various fields such as biology, computer science, or more extensively chaos theory).To what extent do those modelized systems, apparently meant to supply structuring tools to readers keen for interpretive keys, contribute to the novels’ inner complexity, and how does their installation in the texts take place? …”

Molecular Pathogenesis of MALT Lymphoma by Katharina Troppan, Kerstin Wenzl, Peter Neumeister, Alexander Deutsch

“…Interestingly, at least 3 different, apparently site-specific, chromosomal translocations and missense and frameshift mutations, all pathway-related genes affecting the NF-κB signal, have been implicated in the development and progression of MALT lymphoma. …”

Regulation of TXB2 and PGE2 production by TGF-β1 in in vitro silica dust-exposed rat alveolar macrophage by Urszula Orlinska, Douglas C. Kuhn

“…Addition of 2 ng of TGF-β1 to the culture medium potentiated TXB2 production, but PGE2 production apparently did not change. At 50 ng of TGF-β1, TXB2 production decreased, and PGE2 production varied. …”

Exploiting Scanning Behavior for Predators Can Reduce Rice Damage Caused by Birds by Takeshi Honda

“…When birds forage for seeds on the ground they often stop pecking and briefly raise their heads, apparently to scan for predators. Low visibility habitats increase scanning behavior and increased scanning behavior reduces habitat quality from the bird’s perspective; therefore, this study tested the relationship between rice damage rate and visibility at the periphery of rice fields, where tree sparrows rest after feeding. …”

Risk Factors Predicting Recurrent Small Intestinal Resection for Crohn’s Disease of the Terminal Ileum by Hanna Binder, Hugh J Freeman

“…Univariate and multivariate analyses of multiple demographic, clinical, laboratory and pathological variables revealed two apparent statistically significant independent risk factors for a second intestinal resection: steroid treatment, likely an indirect indication of more severe disease activity; and the presence of an internal fistula, consistent with the emerging concept of a relatively more aggressive clinical form of Crohn’s disease.…”

Sorption of Metal Ions on a Mixed Oxide [0.5 M SiO:0.5 M Fe(OH)] by S. Mustafa, B. Dilara, A. Naeem, N. Rahana, P. Shahida

“…The values of the binding constants were used to estimate the apparent thermodynamic parameters, ΔH and ΔS. The phenomenon of enthalpy/entropy compensation showed that the adsorption of metal ions by the mixed oxide occurred typically through a cation-exchange mechanism.…”
