Relative motion of lung and chest wall promotes uniform pleural space thickness

The pleural space is modeled in two dimensions as a thin layer of fluid separating a deformable membrane and a rigid surface containing a bump. We computed the steady-state membrane configuration and fluid pressure distribution during relative sliding of the two surfaces. For physiologically relevant values of membrane tension, shear flow-induced pressures near the bump and far-field pressure gradients are similar to those measured in vivo within the pleural space (e.g. Lai-Fook et al.) [J. Appl. Physiol.: Respirat. Environ. Exercise Physiol. 56 (1984) 1633-1639]. Deformation of the membrane over the bump suggests that the pressure field generated by the sliding motion promotes an even layer of fluid in the pleural space, preventing asperities from touching. Results also suggest a possible mechanism for pleural fluid redistribution during breathing, whereby irreversible fluid motion is associated with the deformability of the membrane.     

Existing in-between two worlds: supporting asylum seeking women living in temporary accommodation through a creative movement and art intervention

ABSTRACT

In this reflective article we introduce Moving Space, a creative movement and art project supporting female Asylum Seekers as they move through the transient space of temporary accommodation. We explore how this cross-modal approach supports women to anchor experiences of displacement, loss and trauma through the use of embodied and visual creative process. Moreover, we argue that the transient nature of the therapeutic space brings into focus women’s resourcefulness and resilience despite the adversity and uncertainty they are experiencing.     

Glucose preferences in wild and domestic guinea pigs

Male wild (Cavia aperea) and domestic (C. porcellus) guinea pigs were tested in two-bottle choice tests for preferences between glucose solutions of different concentrations and de-ionized water. Wild males showed significant preferences for concentrations between 0.025 and 0.4 M glucose while domestic males preferred only the 0.2 M glucose solution to de-ionized water. C. aperea males also consumed significantly greater volumes of liquid per kg body $\text{wt.}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>4</mtext>}}$ during the glucose tests than did the C. porcellus males. These comparative results contrast sharply with those obtained by other authors with wild and domestic Norway rats.     

Meal patterns and glucoprivic feeding in the guanethidine-sympathectomized, adrenodemedullated rat

The feeding behavior of rats sympathectomized by neonatal administration of guanethidine (GUA) and/or adult adrenal demedullation (MDL) was investigated. GUA treatment tended to decrease body weight gain and food intake, chiefly by decreasing meal size and increasing satiety ratios. It also attenuated the increase in food intake caused by 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG; 150, 300, 450 mg/kg, IP) but not by insulin (3, 6, 9 U/kg, IP). MDL altered meal patterns in the same manner as GUA treatment but the effects were of smaller magnitude. It did not influence the response to either glucoprivic challenge. Combined GUA treatment and MDL generally produced additive effects. These results suggest that the major sympathetic influence on feeding is through adrenergic innervation and not circulating catecholamines. The hypothesis that the alteration in feeding patterns produced by ventromedial hypothalamic lesions is due to decreased sympathetic activity was not supported.     

In vivo and in vitro effects of imidacloprid on sheep keds (Melophagus ovinus): a light and electron microscopic study

The effects of imidacloprid (Advantage) on sheep keds (Melophagus ovinus Linné 1758) were studied in vivo and in vitro by means of direct observation (monitored on video tape) and by light and electron microscopy. It was found that: 1. Imidacloprid acted rapidly on all motile stages of the sheep keds. Within 3–4 min after exposure they became immobile and their legs and the abdomen started tetanic trembling movements for 15–30 min, leading to death. 2. The compound is apparently taken up by the body, since it also acted on those sheep keds that had been exclusively exposed to imidacloprid-contaminated filter papers. 3. The compound is available and active for more than 1 month in the wool of sheep; even rainfall does not reduce its efficacy. Body contact between treated mother sheep and their lambs protects them from infestation with these ectoparasites. 4. The compound initiates an ultimately lethal destruction of the ganglia, nerve chords and related muscle fibers, as can be seen in electron micrographs.

Carcinogenicity of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride in BALB/c mice

Summary The carcinogenicity of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride (DMH) by oral, intragastric and subcutaneous administration was examined in 339 BALB/c mice. Subcutaneous injection of DMH induced intestinal tumors in the lower colon of all mice. After oral administration it induced a high incidence of vascular tumors in the liver and soft tissues, but colon tumors were found in only 2 mice when given at a high dosage. On intragastric administration, it induced a fairly high incidence both of colon and vascular tumors. The sites and incidences of vascular tumors and squamous cell carcinomas of the perianal glands were also described.This work was supported in part by a Grant-in Aid for Cancer Research from the Ministry of Education, Japan.

Heavy-ion-induced mutations in the gpt delta transgenic mouse: comparison of mutation spectra induced by heavy-ion,X-ray,and gamma-ray radiation

Heavy-ion radiation accounts for the major component of absorbed cosmic radiation and is thus regarded as a significant risk during long-term manned space missions. To evaluate the genetic damage induced by heavy particle radiation, gpt delta transgenic mice were exposed to carbon particle irradiation and the induced mutations were compared with those induced by reference radiations, i.e., X-rays and gamma-rays. In the transgenic mouse model, deletions and point mutations were individually identified as Spi(-) and gpt mutations, respectively. Two days after 10 Gy of whole-body irradiation, the mutant frequencies (MFs) of Spi(-) and gpt were determined. Carbon particle irradiation significantly increased Spi(-) MF in the liver, spleen, and kidney but not in the testis, suggesting an organ-specific induction of mutations by heavy-ion irradiation. In the liver, the potency of inducing Spi(-) mutation was highest for carbon particles (3.3-fold increase) followed by X-rays (2.1-fold increase) and gamma-rays (1.3-fold increase), while the potency of inducing gpt mutations was highest for gamma-rays (3.3-fold increase) followed by X-rays (2.1-fold increase) and carbon particles (1.6-fold increase). DNA sequence analysis revealed that carbon particles induced deletions that were mainly more than 1,000 base pairs in size, whereas gamma-rays induced deletions of less than 100 base pairs and base substitutions. X-rays induced various-sized deletions and base substitutions. These results suggest that heavy-ion beam irradiation is effective at inducing deletions via DNA double-strand breaks but less effective than X-ray and gamma-ray irradiation at producing oxidative DNA damage by free radicals.
