Role and mechanism of dexmedetomidine in regulating bone metabolism in tail-suspended osteoporotic rats by GUO Yunliang, WANG Can, ZHANG Xinyu

“…Dual calcein/alizarin red fluorescence labeling and tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining were applied respectively to detect the mineral apposition rate and bone formation rate as well as the number of osteoclasts on bone surfaces. Secondly, after primary osteoblasts were isolated from the tibiae of tail-suspended rats and then treated with 1 nmol/L Dex, the proportion of alkaline phosphatase (ALP)-positive osteoblasts and the activity of the enzyme were detected by ALP staining and activity test. qRT-PCR was applied to measure the expression of osteogenic activity-related factors, including osteocalcin (Ocn), Runt related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), Osterix protein (Osx), and type 1 collagen (Col1). …”

Design of a Solar Powered Precision Irrigation System. by Othieno John Wangara

“…Flood irrigation wastes between 40 to 65 percent of the water due to factors like overtopping, runoff in the drain, rat holes in the canal bunds, evaporation from the water surface among others. [ 1] This is also accompanied by the fact that most used energy sources are fuel energy since hydro electrical energy (HEP) is not extended in most rural areas where actual agriculture is practiced and even the few rural areas having the hydroelectric power face frequent black outs thus leaving H.E.P unreliable thus fossil energy source the only alternative. …”

MUC5B modulation of early oral biofilm glucose metabolism by Carolina Robertsson, Carolina Robertsson, Julia Davies, Gunnel Svensäter, Anders Bay Nord, Niclas Norrström, Claes Wickström

“…IntroductionSalivary mucin MUC5B has been suggested to support eubiosis in early oral biofilms by regulating the attachment of commensals, while downregulating dysbiotic activities related to dental caries development, such as microbial carbohydrate transport and metabolism.MethodsTo investigate how the metabolism of glucose, a potential driver for dental caries, in early mono- and dual-species biofilms of oral Actinomyces naeslundii and Streptococcus gordonii clinical isolates was affected by the presence of the complex salivary mucin MUC5B, this study employed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics with the interpretation of network integration.Results and discussionMUC5B reduced early attachment in the presence of glucose compared with uncoated surfaces but maintained even species distribution. …”
