Preclinical Positron Emission Tomographic Imaging of Acute Hyperoxia Therapy of Chronic Hypoxia during Pregnancy by Alexander Zheleznyak, Joel R. Garbow, Michal Neeman, Suzanne E. Lapi

“…Herein we report first-in-mouse PET imaging of fetuses employing both tracers [ 18 F]FDG (metabolism) and 64 Cu-ATSM (hypoxia). [ 18 F]FDG PET/CT imaging allowed clear visualization of placental-fetal structures and supported quantification of tracer uptake, making this a sensitive tool for monitoring placental function in preclinical rodent models. These measurements illustrate the potentially irreversible damage generated by chronic exposure to hypoxia, which cannot be corrected by acute exposure to hyperoxia.…”

Pouvoir politique et pouvoir religieux. L’exploitation de la Sanusiyya au sein de la Libye indépendante (1951-1958) by Carlotta Marchi

“…Nevertheless, they lost their autonomy and were subjected to an extreme phenomenon of political exploitation implemented by the monarchy and, more in general, by the state itself. The ṭarīqa thus appeared to be a political instrument used at different levels: the result was a profound devaluation of its traditional role in society, which was experienced by the younger generation. …”

Comparative study of the effects of Tartary buckwheat seed and sprout consumption on the physiological indices and gut microbiota of C57BL/6J mice by Guohui Nan, Haixia Zhao, Qiong Wu, Lisong Liu, Zichao Guan, Chenglei Li, Huala Wu, Dabing Xiang, Qi Wu

“…Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) is a well-known pseudocereal for its health and economic value.However, abundant antinutritional factors (ANFs) reduces its health benefits.As reported, germination can improve the nutritional prof ile of grains.In this study, we systematically evaluate the safety of Tartary buckwheat seeds (TB) and Tartary buckwheat sprouts (TBS) used as high active ingredients.After evaluating nutrition levels, bioactive compounds and ANFs in TBS during germinating, 5th-day TBS were selected as the raw material.C57BL/6J mice were gavaged daily with distilled water, TB, or TBS for 6 weeks.The physiological indices related to ANFs were determined.Results showed that the TB intake tends to generate negative effects on the gut microbiota, and organs.Additionally, upon TB intake, the Fe3+ content in serum, trypsin activity in pancreas and jejunum decreased, while the cytokine, IgE, and histamine levels in serum, water content in faeces, cytokine levels in liver and jejunum increased.Conversely, TBS did not induce any obvious negative effects on the above relevant indices and showed better lipid-lowering effect.Altogether, TBS are safer and more effective as a raw material to produce the functional food for long-term consumption with the intention of preventing and treating hyperlipidaemia.…”
