Stroke continues to be a major global health concern, accounting for the fifth highest death rate and a sizable portion of the world's disability burden. Over 40,000 stroke cases are reported annually in the Republic of Kazakhstan, of which 5,000 people die within the first 10 days and an additional 5,000 within a month after discharge. Even with the establishment of regional stroke centers, a state anti-stroke program, and substantial efforts, rural communities still experience higher rates of stroke-related morbidity and mortality.

Background And Aim: In Kazakhstan, the study of infection among farm animals is crucial to monitor the invasion among livestock and map the data obtained. Unfortunately, there are only partial data on the study of among cattle's in Kazakhstan, which makes it difficult to conduct a comparative analysis of the epidemiological situation among livestock animals. The present study aimed to molecularly identify the species and haplotypes of the complex infecting cattle in Kazakhstan and investigate their genetic variation relative to mitochondrial (mt) targets.

Department of Research and Development, PerciaVista R&D Co., Shiraz, Iran.

FACT is a developed technique for clearing tissues that does not use acrylamide. Since the removal of lipids is crucial for transparency and efficient antibody staining throughout the tissue, especially for microscopy and imaging, it is a harmful process that can cause the loss of important biological molecules such as proteins. The FACT technique overcomes this by chemically bonding the membrane and intracellular proteins with the extracellular matrix, creating a massive 3D hydrogel matrix and providing structural support to fortify the tissue during processing.

In this study, we propose a spatially patterned 3D-printed nanohydroxyapatite (nHA)/beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP)/collagen composite scaffold incorporating human dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hDP-MSCs) for bone regeneration in critical-sized defects. We investigated angiogenesis and osteogenesis in a rabbit critical-sized mandibular defect model treated with this engineered construct. The critical and synergistic role of collagen coating and incorporation of stem cells in the regeneration process was confirmed by including a cell-free uncoated 3D-printed nHA/β-TCP scaffold, a stem cell-loaded 3D-printed nHA/β-TCP scaffold, and a cell-free collagen-coated 3D-printed nHA/β-TCP scaffold in the experimental design, in addition to an empty defect.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the impact of vitamin D on primary dysmenorrhea in adolescents, focusing on how vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression affects inflammation in the female reproductive tract.
  • Eighty-five adolescents were evaluated, and after administering vitamin D (50,000 IU weekly for five months), significant reductions in pain were observed, with Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores dropping from 8.7 to 4.8 and Verbal Multidimensional Scoring (VMS) scores improving from 2.65 to 0.80.
  • The findings suggest that vitamin D supplementation may be an effective treatment for managing dysmenorrhea symptoms, potentially reducing reliance on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
