Rationale for Antioxidant Supplementation in Sarcopenia by Francesco Cerullo, Giovanni Gambassi, Matteo Cesari

“…Sarcopenia is an age-related clinical condition characterized by the progressive loss of motor units and wasting of muscle fibers resulting in decreased muscle function. The molecular mechanisms leading to sarcopenia are not completely identified, but the increased oxidative damage occurring in muscle cells during the course of aging represents one of the most accepted underlying pathways. …”

Stable Gastric Pentadecapeptide BPC 157 as Therapy After Surgical Detachment of the Quadriceps Muscle from Its Attachments for Muscle-to-Bone Reattachment in Rats by Danijel Matek, Irena Matek, Eva Staresinic, Mladen Japjec, Ivan Bojanic, Alenka Boban Blagaic, Lidija Beketic Oreskovic, Ivana Oreskovic, Tihomil Ziger, Tomislav Novinscak, Ivan Krezic, Sanja Strbe, Martin Drinkovic, Filip Brkic, Jelena Popic, Anita Skrtic, Sven Seiwerth, Mario Staresinic, Predrag Sikiric, Ivica Brizic

“…The healing process occurs immediately after detachment from both sides: the muscle and the bone. The reattachment fibers from the ends of the muscle could be traced into the new bone formed at the surface (note, at day 3 post-detachment, increased mesenchymal cells occurred with periosteum reactivation). …”

Sarcopenia, a Neurogenic Syndrome? by Ping Kwan

“…Although the complete mechanism underlying the development of sarcopenia is still waiting to be elucidated, we propose in this article that the primary trigger of sarcopenia may be neurogenic in origin based on the intimate relationship between the nervous and muscular system, namely, the motor neuron and its underlying muscle fibers. Both of them are affected by the cellular environment and their physiological activity.…”

Continuité des racines d’après Rabinoff by Marie, Emeryck

“…The content of this paper is a generalization of a theorem by Joseph Rabinoff: if $\mathscr{P}$ is a finite family of pointed and rational polyhedra in $N_\mathbb{R}$ such that there exists a fan in $N_\mathbb{R}$ that contains all the recession cones of the polyhedra of $\mathscr{P}$, if $k$ is a complete non-archimedean field, if $S$ is a connected and regular $k$-analytic space (in the sense of Berkovich) and $Y$ is a closed $k$-analytic subset of $U_{\mathscr{P}} \times _k S$ which is relative complete intersection and contained in the relative interior of $U_{\mathscr{P}} \times _k S$ over $S$, then the quasifiniteness of $\pi : Y \rightarrow S$ implies its flatness and finiteness; moreover, all the finite fibers of $\pi $ have the same length. This namely gives a analytic justification to the concept of stable intersection used in the theory of tropical intersection.…”

Jaw Musculature of the Picini (Aves: Piciformes: Picidae) by Reginaldo José Donatelli

“…The results of this analysis indicate the following: (1) there is a clear association between the ventralis lateralis and dorsalis lateralis muscles through fleshy fibers that are connected in all species, (2) the jaw musculature of the genus Picus differs from that of other Picini genera in terms of the poor development of the protractor muscle system of the quadrate (M. protractor quadrati and M. protractor pterygoidei), (3) generally, the M. pseudotemporalis superficialis originates in the ventrocaudal region of the laterosphenoid (the lower part of the orbit), with the only noteworthy exception being an origin in the upper part of the orbit in Dinopium javanense, and (4) the protractor pterygoidei muscle is more developed in Blythipicus rubiginosus, Dinopium rafflesii, and D. javanense than in the other species.…”
