Incidence and Evolutionary Trajectory of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in People Living with HIV in the DRC: A Retrospective Cohort

Benjamin Masikini Lupenzi,Aliocha Natuhoyila Nkodila,Eulether Vita Kintoki,Jean Bosco Kasiam,Benjamin Longo-Mbenza
Background: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an early marker of cardiac involvement and a predictor of heart failure and mortality. This study aimed to determine the incidence of LVH, describe its progression trajectory after initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART), and identify risk factors for LVH among people living with HIV (PLHIV). Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 154 adults living with HIV who were followed at the University Clinics of Kinshasa between 2000 and 200...

The Regulation of Slow-Wave Sleep on Growth Hormone Secretion and Homeostatic Aging: A Pure Model in Man

Zi-Jian Cai
Introduction: It is complicated for regulation of growth hormone (GH) secretion. Herein, it is considered the effects of slow-wave sleep (SWS) on GH secretion and related homeostatic aging, and their implications to other complicated GH secretions. Methods: It was best and most convincing to integratively review the literatures in various fields, especially the relationship among GH, SWS, aging, evolution, etc., and then discuss and summarize to deal with such a...

Somite and Brain Nociceptive Coupling in Evolution of Nociceptive-Sympathetic Coupling for Pain Sensations by NBA

Zi-Jian Cai
In May 2016, it was proposed by the US athletes of the National Basketball Association (NBA) on television that the nociceptive-sympathetic coupling be required for pain sensations. Later, it was demonstrated that, via the activation of sympathetic outputs directly by the nociceptive neurons in laminae I and V of the dorsal spinal horn as well as those in periaqueductal grey (PAG) of brain, it was completed the nociceptive-sympathetic coupling in vertebrates. In this article, for the evolutionar...

Influencing Relaxation by a Low Intensity Transcranial Pulsed Magnetic Stimulation Applying the Entrainment Model

Igor Jerman, Primoz Dovc, Petra Ratajc
Relaxation is becoming increasingly important in modern stressful times. Besides special psychological practices or consuming pharmaceuticals, one can achieve a more relaxed state also by applying an appropriate magnetic field stimulation of the head (low-intensity rTMS). Following the entrain-ment model, we did the research using carefully chosen frequencies of modest MF intensity that followed the principles of clinical trials.

Detection of Horizontal Transfer of Housekeeping and Hydrocarbons Catabolism Genes in Bacterial Genus with Potential to Application in Bioremediation Process

Edmo Montes Rodrigues, Fernanda de Souza Freitas, Tatiane de Paula Siqueira
In silico analysis can be useful to infer about the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) as well as to deduce about the evolutionary relations of catabolic genes. In this study, we performed the analysis of two housekeeping genes (fabD and rpoD) and two catabolic gene

What Nanobacteria and Nanovesicles May Tell Us about the Origin of Life?

Igor Jerman
In contemporary, established biology life is almost exclusively treated as a molecular phenomenon. Therefore, the mystery of the origin of life is sought in molecular terms and processes. But according to certain advanced researches and considerations, life has also other essential “ingredients”: active and diffused organized information and a specific physical as well as physicochemical state of matter characterized

Regulation of Both Cell State and Gene Expression with Nutrient Gradient as Conserved Mechanism Differentiating the Cell Fates for Embryonic Gastrulation: A Theory

Zi-Jian Cai
In this article, it is newly suggested the regulation from nutrient gradient on both cell metabolic state and expressional gene classes as the conserved mechanism differentiating the cell fates for formation of the three germ layers of gastrula in animals. As a new theory, it is supported by the totipotency and pluripotency of early embryonic cells and cultured stem cells to be regulated by nutrients, as well as by the universal formation of nutrient gradient during gastrulation in various anima...

Termination of Organogenesis as Intrinsic Constraint on Animal Development and Evolution: A Theory

Zi-Jian Cai
In this article, it is pointed out with integrative analysis that organogenesis manifests limitation in time and possession of termination, while infinite cell proliferation called as cancer and tumor is lethal. Besides, it is reversely demonstrated from a few notable constant outgrowing skin derivatives that termination is required for organogenesis inside the animal. Accordingly, it is suggested that the requirement for organogenetic termination would be the new intrinsic constraint for animal...
