Objective: To investigating whether osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts promoted by tension force (TF) is mediated by ephrinB2-EphB4 signaling.
Methods: TF was applied to MC3T3-E1 cells, then CCK-8 and live/dead staining were used to detect cell proliferation. Levels of osteogenic differentiation-related factors were detected by ALP staining, ARS staining, qPCR and western blot.
Metal oxides are promising catalysts for small molecule hydrogen chemistries, mediated by interfacial proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) processes. Engineering the mechanism of PCET has been shown to control the selectivity of reduced products, providing an additional route for improving reductive catalysis with metal oxides. In this work, we present kinetic resolution of the rate determining proton-transfer step of PCET to a titanium-doped POV, TiVO(OCH) with 9,10-dihydrophenazine by monitoring the loss of the cationic radical intermediate using stopped-flow analysis.

Aim: To elaborate Tunisian recommendations for the therapeutic management in current practice of patients with spondyloarthritis who are candidates for treatment with a biological agent.
Methods: Following the standardized procedures of the INEAS (Instance Nationale de l'Evaluation et de l'Accréditation en Santé) and in collaboration with the LITAR (Tunisian League against Rheumatism), a systematic review of the literature, carried out by 6 rheumatologists, based on the questions individualized by the working group (15 expert rheumatologists), served as the basis for the working meetings, with determination of the strength of the recommendations and the degree of agreement of the experts. The recommendations were validated by an independent reading group comprising 19 experts from various related specialties.
The Clinical Laboratory (CL) is involved in the prevention, diagnosis and follow-up of disease, as well as in the monitoring of treatment. For this reason, the CL must have robust quality systems in place in order to provide reliable results that help to ensure correct health care. Since the entry into force of the European regulation (IVDR) on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (EU) 2017/746 has generated the loss of CE marking in some laboratory determinations.

External quality assessment (EQA) enhances patient safety through the evaluation of the quality of laboratory-based and point of care testing. Regulatory agencies and accreditation organizations utilize the results and the laboratory's response to them as part of assessing the laboratory's fitness to practice. In addition, where EQA samples are commutable and the assigned value has been determined using reference measurement procedures (RMPs), EQA data contributes to the verification of metrological traceability of assays as part of the post-market surveillance of diagnostic (IVD) medical devices (IVD-MDs).
