Lesões cardíacas em ratos wistar inoculados com diferentes cepas do Trypanosoma cruzi by E. Chapadeiro, P.S.S. Beraldo, P.C. Jesus, W.P. Oliveira Jr., L.F. Junqueira Jr.

“…As lesões do coração foram avaliadas, semiquantitativamente, pelo sistema de "scores", conforme a intensidade e a extensão da inflamação, nas diferentes estruturas do órgão, tendo sido observado que: a) na fase inicial (aguda) da infecção, os animais mortos espontaneamente ou em conseqüência de acidente anestésico apresentaram cardite de intensidade moderada à acentuada, não havendo diferença em relação às cepas utilizadas; as diferentes estruturas do coração estavam uniformemente comprometidas; b) na fase crônica da infecção observou-se cardite degrau leve a moderado e as lesões foram mais freqüentes e intensas quanto maior o inoculo empregado; no entanto, inóculos baixos só produziram lesões quando a cepa utilizada foi a Colombiana. Trombose mural nos átrios e dilatação da ponta do ventrículo esquerdo foram observadas em 20% dos animais, independentemente da cepa. …”

MiR-145 is upregulated in the retarded preimplantation embryos and modulates cholesterol levels in mice preimplantation embryos through targeting Abca1 by Ou Jian, Ni MengXia, Xing Shiyu, Meng QingXia, Zou QinYan, Ding Jie, Wang Wei, Wan Jiaojiao, Li Hong, Huang Yining

“…Results Abnormally increased miR-145 expression was observed in patients’ arrested embryos, and the exogenous overexpression of this miRNA significantly suppressed mural blastocyst formation. Mechanistically, miR-145 was found to bind to the 3′-untranslated area of the Abca1 mRNA in HK293T cells, thus suppressing its expression and increasing embryonic cholesterol levels. …”

The Visual Deceit between the Functional Needs &amp; the Visual Beautification’s Values of the (Islamic) Architecture’s Glass by Hossam El Nahas, Rasha Mohamed Ali, Sara Amr

“…From such point, we trying to use the features of the available creation in the visual deceit systems as a base and principal of creating and developing the glass architectural mural facades, that depend on the modern artistic trends, in particular the trend of the visual deceit to achieve through it the deceit with the movement element, depth, tempo, volume, shape and 3D to realize the materialization phenomena in the architectural façade, and then, the designer will be able to achieve the harmony between the visual deceit and his/her creations in the architectural glass fields by confirming the using of the Islamic Patrimony in designing the contemporary architectural facades in Egypt, and using the visual deceit to satisfy the functional and aesthetical needs.   …”
