Mesenchymal stem cells from different sources for sepsis treatment: prospects and limitations.

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome in which the host response to infection is dysregulated, leading to circulatory dysfunction and multi-organ damage. It has a high mortality rate and its incidence is increasing year by year, posing a serious threat to human life and health. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have the following properties: hematopoietic support, provision of nutrients, activation of endogenous stem/progenitor cells, repair of tissue damage, elimination of inflammation, immunomodulation, promotion of neovascularization, chemotaxis and migration, anti-apoptosis, anti-oxidation, anti-fibrosis, homing, and many other effects.

Anthropogenic short-lived halogens increase human exposure to mercury contamination due to enhanced mercury oxidation over continents.

Mercury (Hg) is a contaminant of global concern, and an accurate understanding of its atmospheric fate is needed to assess its risks to humans and ecosystem health. Atmospheric oxidation of Hg is key to the deposition of this toxic metal to the Earth's surface. Short-lived halogens (SLHs) can provide halogen radicals to directly oxidize Hg and perturb the budget of other Hg oxidants (e.

Reflection on EFL/ESL Teachers' Emotional Creativity and Students L2 Engagement.

Emotions are one of the pillars of all human beings which can play a vital role in providing education. Emotions can affect all aspects of education. The feeling of creativity is one of the subsets of emotions.
