Scientists are reporting evidence that air pollution -- a well-recognized problem at major airports -- may pose an important but largely overlooked health concern for people living near smaller regional airports. Those airports are becoming an increasingly important component of global air transport systems. The study, one of only a handful to examine airborne pollutants near regional airports, suggests that officials should pay closer attention to these overlooked emissions, which could cause health problems for local residents.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Planta MedDOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1240623AbstractGreen tea catechins, especially (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), are known to regulate obesity and fat accumulation. We performed a kinetic analysis in a cell-free system to determine the mode of inhibition of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH; EC 1.1.1.8) by EGCG. GPDH catalyzes the -nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)-dependent reduction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to yield glycerol-3-phosphate, which serves as one of the major precursors of triacylglycerols. We found that EGCG dose-dependently inhibited GPDH activity at a concentration of appr...

In this study intestinal and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability of ginkgolides A, B, C, J and bilobalide, isolated from (Ginkgoaceae), was evaluated in Caco-2 and MDR1-MDCK cell monolayer models. The transport was examined for 2 hours in both absorptive and secretory directions. Quantitation was performed by UPLC‐MS. In the Caco-2 model, each compound (100 µM) displayed a pH-dependent transport in the absorptive direction. A low permeability of ginkgolides was observed across the MDR1-MDCK model in the absorptive direction. An efflux was observed for all compounds in both the models. The efflux ratio was m...

Discuss or comment on this article.
The dissertation from 1800 by Landré-Beauvais (LB) is quoted as an early description of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with the implication that the disease was new at that time. However, physicians of the past may not have been able to perceive an already existing disease due to a lacking concept of it. The dissertation has been studied in the context of contemporary medical literature, modern historical and biographical texts. LB's dissertation seems to have been influenced by LB's mentor Philippe Pinel. The present study does not permit to conclude whether RA was a new disease.

Its metabolites 2'-hydroxycinnamaldehyde (HCA) and o-coumaric acid (OCA) were formed in both the donor and the receiver sides. HCA, in a separate study, also disappeared rapidly from the donor side, mostly being converted to its oxidative metabolite OCA during its absorptive transport across Caco-2 cells.

Conclusions. The positive long-term effects were more pronounced among the participants in the HR group than among those who received CC, possibly due to the early start of the HR programme in hospital and its focus on self-efficacy and training of daily activities. However, one year after discharge a mojority of participants in both groups did not consider themselves to be fully recovered when they compared to their situation before the fracture.

Conclusions. According to the experiment results, this patient-driven loop control can be beneficial for patient with hemiplegia to restore their ambulation functions such as dorsi-flexion and plantar-flexion. The control strategy of this study has the potential to be employed not only in the FES system but also in other assistive devices.
