The skin commensal microbiota is regularly exposed to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in sunlight. Studies mice have demonstrated that the modulates inflammatory environment following UVR exposure. However, role of development UVR-induced inflammation (sunburn) has not been reported humans. We examined UVR-erythema dose-response human upper back (n=8, type I-III) presence and absence microbiota. On...

PURPOSE Phenylbutyrate (PB) and phenylacetate (PA) have antiproliferative and differentiation-inducing effects in malignant tumors, and had been evaluated in Phase I/II clinical trials. This study was undertaken to evaluate their antitumor activities in medulloblastomas. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The biological effects of PB and PA, ranging from 0.1 mM to 3 mM, on two medulloblastoma cell lines (DA...

We report on our system used in the TRECVID 2014 Multimedia Event Detection (MED) and Multimedia Event Recounting (MER) tasks. On the MED task, the CMU team achieved leading performance in the Semantic Query (SQ), 000Ex, 010Ex and 100Ex settings. Furthermore, SQ and 000Ex runs are significantly better than the submissions from the other teams. We attribute the good performance to 4 main compone...

OBJECTIVE So-called cold physical plasmas for biomedical applications generate reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and the latter can trigger DNA damage at high concentrations. Therefore, the mutagenic risks of a certified atmospheric pressure argon plasma jet (kINPen MED) and its predecessor model (kINPen 09) were assessed. METHODS Inner egg membranes of fertilized chicken eggs received a s...

UNLABELLED Hypertension is one of the most important public health problems worldwide. If undiagnosed or untreated, this pathology represents a systemic risk factor and offers unfavorable conditions for dental treatments, especially those requiring bone healing. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to demonstrate, by analysis of bone mineral density (BMD), that the alveolar bone healing p...

OBJECTIVE To compare bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition (BC) of college students with different lifestyles. METHODS Transversal study with 85 students of Medicine (MED) and Physical Education (PE) at the Universidade Regional de Blumenau, SC, Brazil. The anthropometric, socio-demographic, clinical, and lifestyle variables were obtained through densitometric anamnesis and densitom...

Exposure to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonist 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) during pregnancy causes severe defects in mammary gland development and function; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Alterations in epithelial cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis during pregnancy-related mammary development can lead to failed lactogenesis. To determi...
