Advancing beyond May 1971: How Do We Deal with the Possibility of Complicated Dyke Geometries, Long-Lived Lips, and Contrasting Basement Geological Provinces?

The iconic image of a giant radiating dyke swarm subsequently fragmented into three pieces via supercontinental breakup was produced by Paul May in1971(see next page).That figure presented a large part of

Media and Human Rights Education——A Probe into the Possibility of News Coverage from the Viewpoint of the Human Rights Framework

At the present time, mass me- dia and new media play an important part in establish- ing and constructing a civil society. This paper will focus on educa- tional roles of the media and will probe the major experiences and challenges related to constructing news events with human rights as the framework.

The Possibility and Molecular Mechanisms of Cell Pyroptosis After Cerebral Ischemia

Introduction Stroke is an important disease that is prevalent worldwide[1–3]. Ischemic stroke accounts for 80%of stroke cases.Currently, evidence-based effective treatments for ischemic stroke are limited, and only intravenous thrombolysis with Alteplase (a commercially available throm-

Regional Security Dilemma and Security Ownership——Some Observations on the Possibility of the U.S.Return to Asia-Pacific

The discussions of U.S.return to Asia-Pacific unfold more around the state to state relationship,and are lack of studies based on regions.This paper intends to analyze the connections between regional security dilemma and regional security ownership,and further examine how it is possible for the United States to return to Asia-Pacific.Although the United States during the early years of the end of the Cold War overlooked the importance of its Asia-Pacific strategy,however,the Asia-Pacific countries in short of consensus on regional security and a post-Cold War extensive security dilemma enable the United States to return to Asia-Pacific,improve and upgrade its U.S.-led regional security system.But,as far as China is concerned,the U.S.return to Asia-Pacific itself is both a challenge and an opportunity.

Energy of the Gravitational Field as an Equivalent of the Dark Energy of the Universe

Determination of the structural foundations and parameters of the Universe is an important urgent task since it enables us to understand and explain the structure and basic parameters of the material world. Herewith, it is necessary to be aware of modern problems of physics and possible ways to solve them. Among such problems, hypotheses concerning dark matter and the energy of the Universe occupy an important place. However, the determination of their on the basis of modern theories still leads to abstract equations that do not give concrete results;therefore, they have a level of hypotheses. A number of initial scientific propositions based on this abstract of mathematical dependencies have controversial meanings. Elimination of this disadvantage is the main goal of the work performed. Its main difference and scientific novelty are the justification of the energy parameters of the gravitational field of the Universe, the magnitude of which can replace its dark energy and dark mass. The solution to this problem is justified by strict physical dependencies, which are obtained on the basis of fundamental physical constants. It is an urgent and important scientific and applied problem, since it develops knowledge about the gravitational field and the material world in general. The performed work is based on the methods of deduction and induction in the research of the material world based on the application of the well-known reliable laws of physics and the general principles of the development of the theory of knowledge. Other research methods are still unknown, since the work performed is associated with new scientific discoveries, the search for which is difficult to formalize by technique methods. The results of the study consist of the analysis of wave, force and energy parameters of the relict gravitational field of the Universe. The calculated value of this energy is 1.58 × 1070 J. This energy is enough to cover the amount of dark energy and mass in the Universe, which casts doubt on their existence. Conclusions: This paper can supplement previously performed research on the dark mass and energy of the Universe, which requires further for their reconciliation.

EXPRESSION OF rhBMP-7 GENE IN TRANSDUCED BONE MARROW DERIVED STROMAL CELLS

OBJECTIVE: To explore the possibility of expression of exogenous gene in transduced bone marrow derived stromal cells (BMSCs). METHODS: The marker gene, pbLacZ, was transferred into cultured BMSCs and the expression of transduced gene by X-gal staining was examined. Then plasmid pcDNA3-rhBMP7 was delivered to cultured BMSCs. Through immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR assay, the expression of rhBMP7 gene was detected. RESULTS: The exogenous gene could be expressed efficiently in transduced BMSCs. CONCLUSION: The present study provided a theoretical basis to gene therapy on the problems of bone and cartilage tissue.
