Biomimetic mineralization is a promising technique in biomedical applications. To understand the mechanical behavior of biomimetically mineralized collagen material (BMC), we examined the composition and structure of the mineral deposition in BMCs mineralized by the polymer-induced liquid precursor (PILP) process and applied wide angle x-ray scattering (WAXS) with in situ tensile testing to investigate the mineral-to-tissue co-deformation in the material. We found that the PILP process is able to achieve good biomimetic mineralization in bulk collagen matrix. Compositionally, the mineral deposition showed high crystallinity with no carbonation. However, the morphology of extrafibrillar mineral deposition and the preferential crystal orientation were different from natural bone. Further, the Young's modulus and mineral-to-tissue co-deformation ratio of the BMC were significantly lower than both natural bone and partially demineralized bone with similar mineral volume fraction. It was concluded that while biomimetic mineralization can achieve good mineral deposition volume in the BMC, the mechanical behavior of the material was different from natural bone. Tandem mass spectrometry - especially in combination with liquid chromatography (LC-MS/MS) - is applied in a multitude of important diagnostic niches of laboratory medicine. It is unquestioned in its routine use and is often unreplaceable by alternative technologies. This overview illustrates the development in the past decade (2009-2019) and intends to provide insight into the current standing and future directions of the field. The instrumentation matured significantly, the applications are well understood, and the in vitro diagnostics (IVD) industry is shaping the market by providing assay kits, certified instruments, and the first laboratory automated LC-MS/MS instruments as an analytical core. In many settings the application of LC-MS/MS is still burdensome with locally lab developed test (LDT) designs relying on highly specialized staff. The current routine applications cover a wide range of analytes in therapeutic drug monitoring, endocrinology including newborn screening, and toxicology. The tasks that remain to be mastered are, for example, the quantification of proteins by means of LC-MS/MS and the transition from targeted to untargeted omics approaches relying on pattern recognition/pattern discrimination as a key technology for the establishment of diagnostic decisions. ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Many plant species representing the hemi-parasitic genus Thesium play important roles in communities around the globe as evidenced by the numerous ethnobotanical and contemporary uses, and pharmacological activities. However, no attempt has been made to amalgamate and analyze all of the available information. A comprehensive survey is needed to highlight knowledge gaps, as well as to determine the economic importance and commercial potential of the genus. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/takinib.html AIMS OF THE STUDY To provide a comprehensive report on the species diversity, geographical distribution, ethnobotany, contemporary uses, chemistry, pharmacology and toxicology of the genus Thesium, as well as to give insights into possible future research opportunities. MATERIALS AND METHODS Literature on the ethnobotany, contemporary uses, chemistry and pharmacology of Thesium was gathered from standard search engines (Google, Google Scholar, PubMed, SciFinder and Scopus) using the phrase Thesium, as well as generic synonyms. ctivity. CONCLUSION This study has highlighted the ethnobotanical, contemporary and pharmacological importance of Thesium and informed possible future research opportunities. While ample information is available on the traditional uses of the richly diverse African Thesium species, the few Asian species dominate the literature on contemporary uses and pharmacology, while relevant literature on species in the rest of the world is altogether lacking. In light of the popularity of Asian species as ingredients in contemporary medicines and products, further research is needed into African species and their uses, including potential commercial uses. As an important medicinal hemi-parasite in both Africa and Asia, the identities of ethnobotanically relevant species and their phytochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology remain underexplored and require more research attention. V.AIMS Evidences suggest that hypobaric hypoxia (HH) exposure causes biochemical and molecular level perturbations in brain resulting to associated cognitive dysfunction. However, possible effect of HH on amygdala and the associated limbic regions (prefrontal cortex and hippocampus) based functions remains elusive. Regulated fear expression is essential for quick adaptations and optimal behavioral response. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the effect of HH on biochemical and molecular mechanisms in amygdala along with the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex based fear memory. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adult male Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to cued and contextual fear memory assessment following simulated HH exposure (25,000 ft) for 3 and 7 days. Plasma and limbic tissue (Prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and amygdala) were collected for biochemical and molecular studies. KEY FINDINGS Results revealed a decrement in contextual and cued fear memory retrieval, indicating to fear memory dysregulation under HH exposure. Increased level of norepinephrine, dopamine, corticosterone and glutamate along with a decline in serotonin and GABA level was observed in plasma, limbic tissue after 3 and 7 days of HH exposure. Dysregulation of neuromodulation, neuronal survival and synaptic homeostasis was also evident from observed decline in tryptophan hydroxylase, BDNF, synaptophysin, synapsin1, PSD95 and increase in tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity in limbic region under HH exposure. SIGNIFICANCE Dysregulation of limbic region's signaling molecules associated with survival and maintenance of synaptic plasticity (Synaptophysin, synapsin1 and PSD95), neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and shift in monoamines, corticosterone, glutamate and GABA basal levels may contribute to the HH induced fear memory impairment.
