thanol extracts of both leaves and stem barks showed significant from moderate to strong antimutagenic and antigenotoxic effects. In addition, selective cytotoxicity towards cancer cells was shown by ethanolic leaves extract and aqueous/chloroform leaves and stem bark extracts. The latter showed high levels of total phenolic contents among all the other extracts. Identified phenylethanoids (calceolariosides, verbascoside) and secoiridoids (oleuropein and ligstroside) could be responsible for the demonstrated broad spectrum of healthy properties.Considering a growing demand for medicinal/cosmetic products with natural actives, this study focuses on the low-energy nanoemulsions (LE-NEs) prepared via the Phase inversion composition (PIC) method at room temperature as potential carriers for natural oil. Four different red raspberry seed oils (ROs) were tested, as follows cold-pressed vs. CO2-extracted, organic vs. non-organic, refined vs. unrefined. The oil phase was optimized with Tocopheryl acetate and Isostearyl isostearate, while water phase was adjusted with either glycerol or an antioxidant hydro-glycolic extract. This study has used a combined approach to formulation development, employing both conventional methods (pseudo-ternary phase diagram - PTPD, electrical conductivity, particle size measurements, microscopical analysis, and rheological measurements) and the methods novel to this area, such as textural analysis and Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy has detected fine differences in chemical composition among ROs, and it detected the inhe formulation and characterization of nanoemulsion systems.BACKGROUND Quantifying dose-dependent ultra-early edema and ultrastructural changes in the myocyte after drug delivery is important for the development of new mixed calcium channel blockers (CCBs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Arterial cannulation was used to measure mean arterial pressure in real time; simultaneously, magnetic resonance imaging proton density mapping was used to quantify edema 5-55 min after the delivery of L-type CCBs, T- and L-type CCBs, and solvent to a spontaneously hypertensive rat model. Transmission electron microscopy was used to show ultrastructural changes in the myocyte. RESULTS Analysis of variance showed significant differences among the three groups in mean arterial pressure reduction (F = 246.36, P = 5.75E-25), ultra-early level of edema (ULE) (F = 175.49, P = 5.62E-22), and dose-dependent level of edema (DLE) (F = 199.48, P = 4.28E-23). Compared with the solvent's mean arterial pressure reduction (2.65±6.56±1.64), ULE (1.16±0.09±0.02), and DLE (0.0010±0.0001±0.0000), post hoc tests showed that T- and L-type CCBs had better mean arterial pressure reduction (90.67±11.58±2.90, P = 1.06E-24 vs. 68.34±15.19±3.80, P = 1.76E-12), lower ULE (1.53±0.14±0.04, P = 4.74E-9 vs. 2.08±0.18±0.04, P = 2.68E-22), and lower DLE (0.0025±0.0004±0.0001, P = 1.14E-11 vs. 0.0047±0.0008±0.0002, P = 2.10E-11) than L- type CCBs. Transmission electron microscopy showed that T- and L-type CCBs caused fewer ultrastructural changes in the myocytes after drug delivery than L-type CCBs. CONCLUSION T- and L-type CCBs produced less ultra-early and dose-dependent edema, fewer ultrastructural changes in the myocyte, and a greater antihypertensive effect. Proton density mapping combined with arterial cannulation and transmission electron microscopy allowed for quantification of ultra-early and dose-dependent edema, antihypertensive efficacy, and ultrastructural changes in the myocyte. This is important for the evaluation of induced vasodilatory edema.The new type of pneumonia caused by the SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) has been declared as a global public health concern by WHO. As of April 3, 2020, more than 1,000,000 human infections have been diagnosed around the world, which exhibited apparent person-to-person transmission characteristics of this virus. The capacity of vertical transmission in SARS-CoV-2 remains controversial recently. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is now confirmed as the receptor of SARS-CoV-2 and plays essential roles in human infection and transmission. In present study, we collected the online available single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data to evaluate the cell specific expression of ACE2 in maternal-fetal interface as well as in multiple fetal organs. Our results revealed that ACE2 was highly expressed in maternal-fetal interface cells including stromal cells and perivascular cells of decidua, and cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast in placenta. Meanwhile, ACE2 was also expressed in specific cell types of human fetal heart, liver and lung, but not in kidney. And in a study containing series fetal and post-natal mouse lung, we observed ACE2 was dynamically changed over the time, and ACE2 was extremely high in neonatal mice at post-natal day 1~3. In summary, this study revealed that the SARS-CoV-2 receptor was widely spread in specific cell types of maternal-fetal interface and fetal organs. And thus, both the vertical transmission and the placenta dysfunction/abortion caused by SARS-CoV-2 need to be further carefully investigated in clinical practice.Temporal attention can be entrained exogenously to rhythms. Apoptosis inhibitor Indeed, faster and more accurate responses were previously found when the target appeared in-phase with a preceding rhythm in comparison to when it was out of phase. However, the nature of this rhythm-induced attentional effect is not well understood. To better understand the processes underlying rhythm-induced attention, we employed a continuous measure of perceived orientation and a mixture-model analysis. A trial in our study started with a sequence of auditory beeps separated by a fixed inter-beeps interval in the regular (rhythmic) condition or by variable inter-beeps intervals in the irregular condition. A visual target-a line embedded in a circle-followed the sequence. The 'critical' interval between the last beep and the target was chosen randomly from several possible Inter-Onset Intervals (IOIs), of which only one was in-phase with the rhythm. The target was followed by a probe line, and the participants were asked to rotate it to reproduce the target's orientation.
