Plasticizer di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate interferes with osteoblastogenesis and adipogenesis in a mouse model.
Plasticizer di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) can leach from medical devices such as blood storage bags and the tubing. Recently, epidemiological studies showed that phthalate metabolites levels in the urine are associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) in older women. The detailed effect and mechanism of DEHP on osteoblastogenesis and adipogenesis, and bone loss remain to be clarified. Here, we investigated the effect and mechanism of DEHP and its active metabolite mono(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (MEHP) on osteoblastogenesis and adipogenesis. The in vitro study showed that osteoblast differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) was significantly and dose-dependently decreased by DEHP and MEHP (10-100 µM) without cytotoxicity to BMSCs. The mRNA expressions of alkaline phosphatase, Runx2, osteocalcin (OCN), Wnt1, and β-catenin were significantly decreased in DEHP- and MEHP-treated BMSCs during differentiation. MEHP, but not DEHP, significantly increased the adipocyte differentiation of BMSCs and PPARγ mRNA expression. Both DEHP and MEHP significantly increased the ratios of phosphorylated β-catenin/β-catenin and inhibited osteoblastogenesis, which could be reversed by Wnt activator lithium chloride and PPARγ inhibitor T0070907. Moreover, exposure of mice to DEHP (1, 10, and 100 mg/kg) for 8 weeks altered BMD and microstructure. In BMSCs isolated from DEHP-treated mice, osteoblastogenesis and Runx2, Wnt1, and β-catenin expression were decreased, but adipogenesis and PPARγ expression were increased. These findings suggest that DEHP and its metabolite MEHP exposure may inhibit osteoblastogenesis and promote adipogenesis of BMSCs through the Wnt/β-catenin-regulated and thus triggering bone loss. PPARγ signaling may play an important role in MEHP- and DEHP-induced suppression of osteogenesis. © 2017 Orthopaedic Research Society. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Lesson: Introduction to Plasticizers

Plasticizers are chemicals added to plastics to make them more flexible and durable. They are commonly used in medical devices, such as blood storage bags and tubing, to prevent breakage and ensure the device functions properly. However, some plasticizers, like di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), have been linked to health problems, including low bone mineral density (BMD) in older women. In this lesson, we will explore the effects of DEHP on osteoblastogenesis and adipogenesis, and learn about the mechanisms behind these effects.

Section 1: Introduction to Plasticizers

Plasticizers are additives used in plastics to increase their flexibility and durability. They are commonly used in medical devices, such as blood storage bags and tubing, to prevent breakage and ensure the device functions properly. Some common plasticizers include DEHP, bisphenol A (BPA), and phthalic acid esters (PAEs).

Section 2: Effects of DEHP on Osteoblastogenesis and Adipogenesis

Recent studies have shown that exposure to DEHP can lead to decreased bone mineral density (BMD) in older women. To investigate the effects of DEHP on osteoblastogenesis and adipogenesis, researchers conducted a series of experiments using bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). They found that DEHP and its active metabolite, mono(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (MEHP), significantly decreased osteoblast differentiation without causing cytotoxicity to BMSCs. Additionally, the mRNA expressions of alkaline phosphatase, Runx2, osteocalcin (OCN), Wnt1, and β-catenin were significantly decreased in DEHP- and MEHP-treated BMSCs during differentiation. MEHP, but not DEHP, significantly increased the adipocyte differentiation of BMSCs and PPARγ mRNA expression.

Section 3: Mechanisms Behind the Effects of DEHP

The exact mechanisms behind the effects of DEHP on osteoblastogenesis and adipogenesis are not yet fully understood. However, it is believed that DEHP may interfere with the normal functioning of certain proteins and signaling pathways involved in bone formation and maintenance. For example, DEHP may inhibit the activity of osteoblast-specific transcription factors, such as Runx2, which are crucial for the differentiation of osteoblasts from mesenchymal stem cells. Additionally, DEHP may disrupt the balance between bone formation and resorption by interfering with the activity of bone-resorbing cells, such as osteoclasts.

Section 4: Conclusion

In conclusion, our study demonstrates that DEHP interferes with osteoblastogenesis and adipogenesis in a mouse model. The decreased osteoblast differentiation and increased adipogenesis may contribute to the reduced BMD observed in older women exposed to DEHP. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms behind these effects and to develop strategies to mitigate the risks associated with DEHP exposure.

Glossary:
- Plasticizer: a chemical added to plastics to increase their flexibility and durability
- DEHP: di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate
- BMSCs: bone marrow stromal cells
- OCN: osteocalcin
- PPARγ: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma
- Cytotoxicity: the ability of a substance to damage or kill cells
- mRNA: messenger RNA
- Transcription factor: a protein that binds to specific DNA sequences and regulates the transcription of genes
- Mesenchymal stem cells: cells that can differentiate into various cell types, including osteoblasts
- Osteoclasts: cells responsible for bone resorption

Self-Debating Discussion:

Is it worth the risk to use medical devices containing DEHP when there is evidence that it may interfere with osteoblastogenesis and adipogenesis, leading to reduced bone mineral density? While DEHP is effective in making medical devices more flexible and durable, the potential health risks associated with exposure to DEHP must be carefully considered. On one hand, the benefits of using DEHP-containing medical devices, such as preventing breakage and ensuring proper function, may outweigh the potential risks. On the other hand, the risks cannot be ignored, and alternative materials that do not contain DEHP should be explored. Ultimately, the decision to use DEHP-containing medical devices must be made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the potential risks and benefits.

Lesson 1: Introduction to Organic Gardening

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
In this lesson, we will learn about organic gardening, which is the practice of growing fruits, vegetables, herbs, and other plants without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or other artificial chemicals. This approach is based on the principles of sustainable agriculture, which aims to preserve the health of the soil, water, and air, as well as the people who consume the food.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
One of the most important aspects of organic gardening is the use of compost, which is a mixture of decayed plant and animal matter that is used to improve soil fertility and structure. Composting can be done in a variety of ways, including in a compost bin or pile, using a worm bin, or even in a kitchen compost bucket.

Another important aspect of organic gardening is crop rotation, which involves changing the location of crops each year to prevent soil-borne diseases and pests from building up in the soil. This can be done by planting different types of crops in different areas of the garden each year, or by using a four-year crop rotation cycle.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Organic gardening can also involve the use of natural pest control methods, such as companion planting, which involves growing certain plants together that are believed to repel pests. For example, marigolds are often planted among vegetables because they are thought to repel aphids and other insects.

Another example of natural pest control is the use of beneficial insects, such as ladybugs and lacewings, which can be purchased from a garden center or hatched from eggs and released into the garden. These insects feed on pests like aphids and spider mites, helping to keep them under control naturally.

## Glossary
- Compost: Decayed plant and animal matter used to improve soil fertility and structure.
- Crop rotation: The practice of changing the location of crops each year to prevent soil-borne diseases and pests from building up in the soil.
- Companion planting: The practice of growing certain plants together that are believed to repel pests.
- Beneficial insects: Insects that feed on pests like aphids and spider mites, helping to keep them under control naturally.

## Conclusion
In conclusion, organic gardening is an important practice that can help us live more sustainably and reduce our impact on the environment. By using compost, practicing crop rotation, and employing natural pest control methods, we can grow healthy, delicious fruits, vegetables, and herbs while protecting the health of our soil, water, and air.

Lesson: How to Create a Custom Tileset for Warzone 2100

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to create a custom tileset for Warzone 2100, a popular open-source real-time strategy game. We will use Blender, a free and open-source 3D creation software, to design and export the tileset.

Section 1: Installing Blender

Before starting, make sure you have Blender installed on your computer. You can download it from the official website: https://www.blender.org/download/.

Section 2: Creating the Tileset in Blender

Once you have installed Blender, open the program and go to File > New. In the New window, select the "Cube" add-on and click on the "Create" button. This will create a cube that will serve as the base for our tileset.

Now, let's add some basic shapes to our scene. Press "Ctrl + A" to select all and then "Ctrl + C" to copy the cube. Then, press "Ctrl + V" to paste the cube in front of the camera. Now, select the copied cube and press "Ctrl + T" to transform it into a sphere.

Next, press "Ctrl + A" to select all and then "Ctrl + C" to copy the sphere. Then, press "Ctrl + V" to paste the sphere in front of the camera. Now, select the copied sphere and press "Ctrl + T" to transform it into a cylinder.

Finally, press "Ctrl + A" to select all and then "Ctrl + C" to copy the cylinder. Then, press "Ctrl + V" to paste the cylinder in front of the camera. Now, select the copied cylinder and press "Ctrl + T" to transform it into a cone.

Section 3: Texturing the Tileset

Now that we have the basic shapes, we need to texture them to create our custom tileset. Go to the "Add-Ons" tab in the top menu and enable the "Textures" add-on.

Select the cube and go to the "Shading" tab in the top menu. Choose a shading model that suits your style (e.g., "Flat"). Then, select the sphere and set its shading model to "Smooth".

Next, select the cylinder and set its shading model to "Smooth". Finally, select the cone and set its shading model to "Smooth".

Now, select the cube and go to the "Properties" tab in the top menu. Set the "Texture" property to "wood.jpg" (you can replace this filename with any image file you want to use).

Section 4: Exporting the Tileset

Once you are satisfied with the texturing of your tileset, it's time to export it from Blender. Go to the "File" menu and select "Export". In the Export window, choose a location on your computer where you want to save the tileset file.

For this example, we will use the OBJ file format, but you can choose another format if you prefer. Make sure that the "Recurse Subfolders" option is disabled and that the "Include Media" option is enabled. This will ensure that the textures are included in the exported file.

Click on the "Export" button to start the export process. Once it's finished, you will have a custom tileset that you can use in Warzone 2100.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to create a custom tileset for Warzone 2100 using Blender. We covered installing the software, creating the basic shapes, texturing the tileset, and exporting the final result. With this knowledge, you can now create your own custom tilesets for any game or project that uses the Warzone 2100 tileset.

Chemical and enzymic pretreatment of corn stover to produce soluble fermentation substrates.
Corn stover was pretreated with various chemical agents, including sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, ethylenediamine, n-butylamine (either alone or in solution with methanol), and acetonitrile or ethanol containing hydrochloric acid. Of these chemicals, n-butylamine was the best reagent for pretreatment of corn stover, considering the degree of loss of total carbohydrate, delignification, cumulative weight loss, cumulative yield of reducing sugars per original total carbohydrate, and the potential ease of recovery and reuse of reagent. In comparison to the other reagents tested, n-butylamine (n-BA) selectively delignified corn stover. The best conditions were as follows: a 12-h presoak of about a 155 g dry wt/L slurry (1 mm average particle size) in 100% n-BA at room temperature, followed by 30 min of refluxing (86.5 degrees C) with 40% (w/w) n-BA-distilled water solution. The cumulative yield of reducing sugars after enzymic hydrolysis was 44.5% of the original total carbohydrate and the cumulative total weight loss (dry basis) was 59%. Degradative loss of total carbohydrate during pretreatment was not detected.

Lesson: The Importance of Thoughtfulness

Introduction:
In today's fast-paced world, it is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We often find ourselves rushing through tasks, responding to emails, and scrolling through social media without taking the time to stop and think about what we are doing. However, being thoughtful and intentional in our actions is essential for building strong relationships, making informed decisions, and living a fulfilling life. In this lesson, we will explore the importance of thoughtfulness and learn how to incorporate it into our daily lives.

Section 1: What is Thoughtfulness?
Thoughtfulness is the act of giving careful consideration to one's words and actions before engaging in them. It involves being mindful of how our actions may affect others and taking the time to consider different perspectives. Thoughtfulness is not just about being polite or courteous; it is about being intentional with our words and actions and showing respect for ourselves and others.

Section 2: Why is Thoughtfulness Important?
Thoughtfulness is essential because it allows us to build strong relationships with others. When we take the time to consider how our words and actions may impact others, we are more likely to avoid hurt feelings or misunderstandings. Additionally, being thoughtful helps us make better decisions by allowing us to weigh the pros and cons of different options. Finally, being thoughtful helps us live a more fulfilling life by allowing us to focus on what truly matters.

Section 3: How can we be More Thoughtful?
To be more thoughtful, we must slow down and take the time to consider our actions before engaging in them. This may mean taking a few moments to reflect before responding to an email or text message or taking a step back to consider different perspectives before making a decision. Additionally, we can practice active listening by giving others our full attention and truly hearing what they have to say. Finally, we can show appreciation for others by acknowledging their contributions and expressing gratitude for their efforts.

Section 4: Practical Examples
Here are some practical examples of how we can incorporate thoughtfulness into our daily lives:
- Before sending an email or text message, take a few moments to read it over and consider how it may be received by the recipient.
- When in a conversation, actively listen to what the other person is saying and avoid interrupting or planning your response before they have finished speaking.
- Show appreciation for others by thanking them for their hard work or expressing gratitude for the things they do for you.

Conclusion:
Being thoughtful and intentional in our actions is essential for building strong relationships and living a fulfilling life. By taking the time to consider how our actions may impact others and showing appreciation for their contributions, we can create a more positive and supportive environment for ourselves and those around us.

Lesson: Introduction to Human Rights and Drug Policy

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Human rights are basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world, regardless of their nationality, age, or gender. These rights are protected by law and are essential for the well-being and dignity of every individual. Drug policy refers to the laws, regulations, and strategies that govern the production, distribution, and use of drugs. These policies aim to reduce drug abuse, prevent drug-related harms, and promote public health.

## Section 2: Questions and Answers

**Question:** What is the role of human rights in drug policy?
**Answer:** Human rights play an important role in drug policy as they provide a framework for ensuring that drug policies are based on principles of justice, equality, and non-discrimination.

**Question:** How does the International Centre on Human Rights and Drug Policy promote human rights in drug policy?
**Answer:** The International Centre on Human Rights and Drug Policy promotes human rights in drug policy by conducting research, teaching, and policy development that highlights the importance of respecting, protecting, and fulfilling human rights in the context of drug policy.

## Section 3: Definitions and Examples

**Definition:** A human rights-based approach to drug policy is one that prioritizes the protection of human rights in the design, implementation, and evaluation of drug policies.

**Example:** In countries where the possession of small amounts of drugs for personal use is decriminalized, individuals who are arrested for drug offenses may be denied their right to a fair trial and may be subjected to inhumane treatment in detention centers. A human rights-based approach to drug policy would ensure that these individuals are treated with dignity and respect, and that their rights are protected throughout the legal process.

## Section 4: Practical Examples

**Example:** In some countries, drug users are denied access to harm reduction programs such as needle exchange programs and opioid substitution therapy. This violates their right to health and may contribute to the spread of infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis C. A human rights-based approach to drug policy would ensure that drug users have access to the health services they need to stay healthy and reduce the harms associated with drug use.

Lesson: Introduction to SQL Querying

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
SQL (Structured Query Language) is a programming language used to manage and manipulate data in databases. It is used to retrieve, insert, update, and delete data from databases. SQL queries are written to perform specific tasks on the data stored in the database.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's say we have a database containing information about software licenses. We want to create a query that will show us the number of licensed software applications installed on our computers. Here's an example query:

```
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Number_of_Installed_Applications
FROM Software_Licenses
WHERE Number_of_Licenses <> '';
```

In this query, we are selecting the count of all rows in the `Software_Licenses` table where the `Number_of_Licenses` field is not empty (`''`). We name the result of the `COUNT(*)` function `Number_of_Installed_Applications`.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Now let's say we have a larger database containing information about software licenses, hardware, and users. We want to write a query that will show us the number of licensed software applications installed on each computer in our organization. Here's an example query:

```
SELECT Computers.Name, COUNT(*) AS Number_of_Installed_Applications
FROM Software_Licenses
JOIN Computers ON Software_Licenses.Computer_Name = Computers.Name
WHERE Software_Licenses.Number_of_Licenses <> ''
GROUP BY Computers.Name;
```

In this query, we join the `Software_Licenses` table with the `Computers` table using the `Computer_Name` field. We then select the name of each computer and the count of licensed software applications installed on it. Finally, we group the results by computer name.

## Glossary
- SQL: Structured Query Language
- Database: A collection of organized data
- Query: A request for information from a database
- Field: A column in a database table
- WHERE clause: A part of a SQL statement that specifies conditions that must be met for the statement to be true
- JOIN: A SQL keyword used to combine records from two or more tables
- COUNT(*): A function that returns the number of rows in a table

## Conclusion
SQL is a powerful tool for managing and manipulating data in databases. By learning SQL, you can retrieve, insert, update, and delete data from databases efficiently and effectively. The skills learned in this lesson can be applied to a variety of scenarios where data management is required.

Improved detection of salicylic acids using terbium-sensitized luminescence in aqueous micellar solutions of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride.
The determination of salicylic, p-aminosalicylic and 5-fluorosalicylic acids was investigated using terbium-sensitized luminescence in aqueous solutions. Formation of a ternary chelate between terbium, EDTA and the salicylic acid requires dissociation of the phenol group which is adjacent to the dissociated carboxylic group. The reaction is obtained in alkaline solutions and is enhanced in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride. As evidenced by absorbance and fluorescence measurements, the cationic surfactant plays an important role in the formation of the ternary chelate and then terbium luminescence depends mainly on the extent of chelate formation. Linearity is found over more than four orders of magnitude and detection limits are in the range (2-4) x 10(-10) mol l-1 for the three acids.

C1-C2 pedicle screw fixation with rigid cantilever beam construct: case report and technical note.
Transarticular screw fixation of the C1-C2 complex provides immediate rigid fixation of the unstable spine. The technique is not feasible in a certain proportion of patients because of the position of the vertebral artery or the patient's body habitus. The authors describe a rigid screw technique for the surgical treatment of a woman who was excluded as a candidate for C1-C2 transarticular screw fixation. C1-C2 pedicle screw fixation was achieved using a fixed moment arm cantilever beam system. This system provided immediate rigid fixation of the C1-C2 complex in a patient who was not a candidate for transarticular screw fixation. This technique is technically more forgiving than posterior transarticular screw fixation and may be applied to a broader spectrum of patients.

Lesson: Introduction to Spinal Fixation Techniques

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
In this lesson, we will learn about spinal fixation techniques used to stabilize the spine after injury or surgery. We will focus on the C1-C2 pedicle screw fixation with a rigid cantilever beam construct.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's consider a patient named John who has undergone a laminectomy to relieve pressure on his spinal cord. His surgeon wants to stabilize his spine using a pedicle screw fixation but is concerned about the position of his vertebral artery. In this scenario, the C1-C2 pedicle screw fixation with a rigid cantilever beam construct would be an appropriate option.

The surgeon would first insert pedicle screws into the C1 and C2 vertebrae, securing them to the lamina. Next, they would create a rigid cantilever beam construct by attaching a rod to the screws. This rod would act as a bridge between the two vertebrae, providing immediate rigid fixation and support.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Now let's consider another patient named Sarah who has a large tumor pressing on her C1-C2 vertebrae. Her surgeon needs to remove the tumor while maintaining stability in her spine. In this scenario, the C1-C2 pedicle screw fixation with a rigid cantilever beam construct would be an effective method to maintain stability during the surgery.

The surgeon would first insert pedicle screws into the C1 and C2 vertebrae, securing them to the lamina. They would then create a rigid cantilever beam construct by attaching a rod to the screws. This would allow the surgeon to remove the tumor without causing instability in Sarah's spine.

## Glossary
- Pedicle: A thin process of bone that extends from the vertebral body and supports the lamina
- Lamina: A thin plate of bone that forms the roof of the vertebral foramen
- Cantilever beam: A structural element that can only support its own weight at one end and is fixed at the other end
- Rod: A cylindrical bar made of metal or plastic used in orthopedic surgery to provide support and stability to the spine

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we have learned about the C1-C2 pedicle screw fixation with a rigid cantilever beam construct. This technique is useful in situations where traditional transarticular screw fixation is not feasible. By understanding the theoretical concepts and practical applications of this technique, we can apply these skills to other spinal fixation techniques in the future.

Lesson: How to Describe Wine

**Introduction:** In this lesson, we will learn how to describe wine using different terms and techniques. We will cover the basics of wine tasting, including the different aspects of wine that can be evaluated, and the language used to describe them. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently describe wine and communicate your thoughts and opinions about it.

**Section 1: The Basics of Wine Tasting**

Wine tasting is the process of evaluating wine by examining its color, aroma, taste, and texture. When describing wine, there are several aspects that can be evaluated, including:

- **Color:** The color of wine can provide clues about its age, maturity, and quality. For example, a red wine that is very dark in color may indicate that it is old or has been aged in oak barrels.

- **Aroma:** The aroma of wine refers to the smell of the wine when it is swirled in the glass. Wines can have different aromas depending on their variety, region, and age. Some common aromas include fruit, spice, oak, and earthiness.

- **Taste:** The taste of wine refers to the way it feels in your mouth and the flavors that you experience. Wines can be described as sweet, bitter, sour, or umami, among other things.

- **Texture:** The texture of wine refers to the way it feels in your mouth. Wines can be described as light, medium, or full-bodied, depending on their thickness and weight.

**Section 2: Descriptive Terms**

There are many descriptive terms that can be used to describe wine. Here are some common ones:

- **Fruity:** Wines that are fruity tend to have aromas and flavors that remind you of fruit, such as berries, apples, or citrus.

- **Spicy:** Wines that are spicy tend to have aromas and flavors that remind you of spices, such as pepper, cloves, or cinnamon.

- **Oaky:** Wines that are oaky tend to have aromas and flavors that come from the oak barrels they are aged in, such as vanilla, toast, or smoke.

- **Earthy:** Wines that are earthy tend to have aromas and flavors that remind you of the earth, such as dirt, leaves, or underbrush.

- **Tannic:** Wines that are tannic tend to have a dry, bitter taste that comes from the presence of tannins.

**Section 3: Practical Examples**

Let's put our knowledge to the test and describe a wine using the terms we've learned so far. Imagine you are tasting a Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. You swirl the wine in your glass and take a sniff. You detect aromas of black cherry, vanilla, and oak. You take a sip and experience flavors of blackberry, chocolate, and coffee. The wine is medium-bodied with a firm tannic structure.

In summary, this lesson taught us how to describe wine using different terms and techniques. We learned about the basics of wine tasting and the different aspects of wine that can be evaluated. By the end of this lesson, we were able to confidently describe wine and communicate our thoughts and opinions about it.
