A compact computational model for cell construct development in perfusion culture

A problem nowadays tissue engineers encounter in developing sizable tissue implants is the nonuniform spread of cells and/or extracellular matrices. Research shows such a nutrients transport restriction may be improved by employing hydrodynamic culture systems. We propose a compact model for the simulation of cell growth in a porous construct under direct perfusion. Unlike the previous model proposed in the literature, which composes a cellular scaffold sandwiched between two culture media layers, the current model includes only the scaffold layer to simplify the mathematical and computational complex. Results show the present single-layer model can predict cell spreads and the nutrient and metabolic waste distribution as accurately as does the three-layer model. Only if the hydrodynamic aspects such as the pressure and viscous stress are prominent to know, should the more sophisticated analyses with the three-layer model be employed. The compact model provides comparable investigations for the tissue-engineering construct developments.     

Skin thermal pain modeling—A holistic method

Pain sensation has been studied extensively, over a range of scales, from the molecular level to the entire human neural system. Thermal stimulation of pain has been widely used in the study of pain sensation. Skin thermal pain is induced through both direct (an increase/decrease in temperature) and indirect (thermomechanical and thermochemical) ways, and is governed by complicated thermomechanical–chemical–neurophysiologic responses. This paper is focused on the theoretical modeling of the underlying mechanisms in the process of skin thermal pain. A holistic model has been developed, which is composed of three sub-models, namely, transduction, transmission, and modulation and perception. The model can contribute to the understanding of thermally related pain phenomena in skin tissue and to improvements in a range of thermal therapeutic methods.

Substituting dietary linoleic acid with α-linolenic acid improves insulin sensitivity in sucrose fed rats

This study describes the effect of substituting dietary linoleic acid (18:2 n-6) with α-linolenic acid (18:3 n-3) on sucrose-induced insulin resistance (IR). Wistar NIN male weanling rats were fed casein based diet containing 22 energy percent (en%) fat with ～6, 9 and 7 en% saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) respectively for 3 months. IR was induced by replacing starch (ST) with sucrose (SU). Blends of groundnut, palmolein, and linseed oil in different proportions furnished the following levels of 18:3 n-3 (g/100 g diet) and 18:2 n-6/18:3 n-3 ratios respectively: ST-220 (0.014, 220), SU-220 (0.014, 220), SU-50 (0.06, 50), SU-10 (0.27, 10) and SU-2 (1.1, 2). The results showed IR in the sucrose fed group (SU-220) as evidenced by increase in fasting plasma insulin and area under the curve (AUC) of insulin in response to oral glucose load. In SU-220, the increase in adipocyte plasma membrane cholesterol/phospholipid ratio was associated with a decrease in fluidity, insulin stimulated glucose transport, antilipolytic effect of insulin and increase in basal and norepinephrine stimulated lipolysis in adipocytes. In SU-50, sucrose induced alterations in adipocyte lipolysis and antilipolysis were normalized. However, in SU-2, partial corrections in plasma insulin, AUC of insulin and adipocyte insulin stimulated glucose transport were observed. Further, plasma triglycerides and cholesterol decreased in SU-2. In diaphragm phospholipids, the observed dose dependent increase in long chain (LC) n-3 PUFA was associated with a decrease in LC-n-6 PUFA but insulin stimulated glucose transport increased only in SU-2. Thus, this study shows that the substitution of one-third of dietary 18:2 n-6 with 18:3 n-3 (SU-2) results in lowered blood lipid levels and increases peripheral insulin sensitivity, possibly due to the resulting high LCn-3 PUFA levels in target tissues of insulin action. These findings suggest a role for 18:3 n-3 in the prevention of insulin resistant states. The current recommendation to increase 18:3 n-3 intake for reducing cardiovascular risk may also be beneficial for preventing IR in humans.

Improved micropropagation in Polygala myrtifolia

Summary Stem segments from apical shoot tips of Polygala myrtifolia were used as primary explants to establish in vitro cultures. Axillary shoots produced on non-contaminated explants were excised and recultured in the same medium to increase the stock of shoot cultures. Equal molar concentrations of five cytokinins [2-isopentenyladenine, kinetin, zeatin, N ⁶-benzyladenine (BA), and adenine] were tested for ability to induce axillary shoot development from double-node stem segments. The highest rate of axillary shoot proliferation was induced on Murashige and Skoog agar medium supplemented with 1.8 μM BA. Seven indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) concentrations (0, 2.9, 5.7, 8.6, 11.4, 14.3, 17.1 μM) were tested to determine the optimum conditions for in vitro rooting of microshoots. Up to 72% of the microshoots rooted with 14.3 μM IAA. Other auxins tested, α-naphthaleneacetic acid and indole-3-butyric acid, were less effective than IAA in inducing adventitious root formation. All rooted plantlets having more than three roots were successfully established in soil.
