Abstract:

The renal renin-angiotensin system plays a central role in the development of hypertension. The aim of this work was to verify the expression of angiotensin II receptors AT1R and AT2R in the microsomal fraction of renal cortex and correlate this with the development of hypertension and renal damage in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) using Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) as controls. AT1R expression increased (126%) and AT2R expression decreased (66%) in 4-wk-old SHR; AT2 expression decreased in 14-wk-old SHR (61%) compared with respective age-matched WKY. These modifications were correlated to the increase in protein kinase C activity and decrease in protein kinase A activity. Four-week-old SHR showed large accumulations of macrophages in kidney glomerulus and the tubulointerstitial area, dense cortical collagen deposition, and arterial proliferative changes in the walls of arterioles and medium-sized vessels. Similar modifications were also observed in 14-wk-old SHR. Four-week-old SHR treated with losartan (30 mg·kg−1·day−1) or hydralazine (15 and 30 mg·kg−1·day−1) by gavage for 10 wk did not develop hypertension. The decrease in AT2R expression and renal damage observed in SHR remained even after treatment with hydralazine. On the other hand, losartan treatment prevented the modifications observed in 14-wk-old SHR, indicating that renal injuries are caused specifically by AT1 rather than an increase in blood pressure. Our results indicate that the imbalance in AT1R and AT2R expression is associated with an inflammatory process that contributes to renal injury in adult SHR and to the development of hypertension.

Abstract:

The numbers of monocytes and macrophages in the walls of cerebral blood vessels were counted on perfusion-fixed frozen brain sections (16 μm) of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), stroke-prone SHR (SHR-SP), normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats, and young (16-week-old) and old (2-year-old) normotensive Sprague-Dawley rats (SD-16w and SD-2y, respectively) using monoclonal antibodies against rat macrophages (ED2). The staining was visualized with fluorescein-labeled second antibodies. The ED2-specific staining in brain sections was restricted to macrophages in a perivascular location. The number of perivascular cells per square millimeter of high-power field was significantly greater in SHR-SP (8.6 ± 2.1; n = 4) and SHR (6.7 ± 0.9; n = 6) than in normotensive WKY (4.0 ± 0.5; n = 6; p < 0.01). The number of perivascular macrophages was also greater in SD-2y (7.5 ± 2.7; n = 9) than in SD-16w (2.9 ± 1.8; n = 8; p < 0.01). No ED2 staining was found in the resident microglia or in the endothelial cells, which were identified by double staining with rhodamine-labeled anti-factor VIII-related antigen antibodies. The results suggest that the stroke risk factors hypertension and advanced age are associated with increased subendothelial accumulation of monocytes and macrophages. This accumulation could increase the tendency for the endothelium to convert from an anticoagulant to a procoagulant surface in response to mediators released from these subendothelial cells.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Ground damage, such as liquefaction events, occurred in the Kanto region during the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011. Similar disasters can be expected to occur in the future. Disaster prevention and preparedness plans have been developed by municipal governments based on the principle of Jijo (self-aid), Kyojo (community assistance), and Kojo (government assistance). With national land information, including the latest satellite images and Jinsokusokuzu (QuickMap) prepared during the Meiji period, being compiled, consolidated and analysed, it is now expected that such national land information can be utilized in the field of disaster mitigation.</p><p>According to an old map, the old Kugenuma Lake used to be spread in the southeast of the city of Fujisawa, which is currently located in the dune lands in the Shonan region. This area is composed of sandbanks formed by the Hikichi River and the Sakai River. From the synthetic images based on satellite images and QuickMap, among other things, it is expected that a disaster may cause serious damage in areas of weak ground conditions along the old river ways and the brinks (cliffs) of the old Kugenuma Lake as they have been rapidly converted into residential areas (Figure 1). The evacuation map prepared based on this assumption indicates that nearby tsunami evacuation buildings should serve as an emergency evacuation centre for evacuees (Figure 2). In the vicinity of these emergency evacuation centres, however, there are various areas that may become impassable for evacuees and emergency vehicles due to the potential collapse of stone walls and utility poles, among other things.</p><p>From the synthetic images based on geospatial information, it is possible to identify areas prone to liquefaction in regions whose past land cover is related to water (Figure 1). The evacuation map, which has been prepared based on the reading of hazard maps and the results of our field investigation, has exposed a number of issues facing disaster-predicted areas (Figure 2). As a result, it is recommended that 1) a community association ensure to always keep evacuation routes operable and clear of any obstructions that may impede evacuation and 2) to conduct an emergency evacuation drill in different seasons and time zones. It is also essential to ensure that a community will develop its own technical capability and autonomous community-based capability to provide relief to its own community members through Kyojo.</p>

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background Several studies have suggested mechanisms whereby excessive fructose intake increases blood pressure (BP). Glucose transporter 5 (GLUT5) is a fructose transporter expressed on enterocytes, and its involvement in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS)–modulated increase in BP following fructose intake remains unclear. Objectives Herein, we investigated whether NTS Glut5 knockdown (KD) can alleviate fructose-induced hypertension in rat models. Methods Male Wistar-Kyoto rats (6–8 weeks old; average weight: 230 g) were randomly assigned into 4 groups [control (Con), fructose (Fru), fructose + scrambled (Fru + S), and Fru + KD]. The Con group rats had ad libitum access to regular water, and the other 3 groups were provided 10% fructose water ad libitum for 4 weeks (2 weeks before lentiviral transfection in the Fru + S and Fru + KD groups). Glut5 short hairpin RNA was delivered into the NTS of rats using a lentivirus system. Fructose-induced hypertension was assessed via the tail-cuff technique, a noninvasive blood pressure measurement approach. GLUT5-associated and other insulin signaling pathways in the NTS of rats were assessed using immunofluorescence and immunoblotting analyses. We evaluated between-group differences using the Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis 1-way ANOVA. Results Compared with the Fru + S group, the Fru + KD group had reduced sympathetic nerve hyperactivity (48.8 ± 3.2 bursts/min; P < 0.05), improved central insulin signaling, upregulated protein kinase B (AKT; 3.0-fold) and neuronal NO synthase (nNOS; 2.78-fold) expression, and lowered BP (17 ± 1 mmHg, P < 0.05). Moreover, Glut5 KD restored signaling dependent on adenosine 5′-monophosphate–activated protein kinase and reduced fructose-induced oxidative stress 2.0-fold, and thus decreased NAD(P)H oxidase in p67-phox 1.9-fold within the NTS. Conclusions Fructose-induced reactive oxygen species generates in the NTS of rats through GLUT5 and receptor for advanced glycation end products signaling, thus impairing the AKT–nNOS–NO signaling pathway and ultimately causing hypertension.

Abstract:

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> This study intends to develop a method of learning changes in the Kyoto townscape. We conducted an experiment using the Kyoto Memorygraph with old photographs from the Kyoto City Tram and Bus Photograph Database. The key findings of this paper are the following: <ul><li>Users can easily understand the details of changes in the townscape when comparing old photographs with the current townscape using Kyoto Memorygraph.</li> <li>By using this application in tours, users who were not previously familiar with the locations and characteristics of old photographs exhibited notable learning outcomes.</li> </ul> In this experiment, participants focused on mountains as a distant marker and buildings, roads, and objects on the roadside as proximate markers. These are the basic components of the city; participants examined the structure and elements from the old photos and became aware of changes in the townscape. In the case that the characteristics of the photo had changed significantly, some participants felt it was difficult to match old photos with the current townscape. By visiting the location where the old picture was taken and capturing the current cityscape, users of Kyoto Memorygraph were able to consider the city’s structure and elements. These results indicate that Kyoto Memorygraph can be a regional learning tool for understanding townscape development.</p>

Abstract:

Many trees have the genetic potential to wall off wound-induced wood discoloration from moving into their interiors. These trees actually build walls, mainly of phenolic compounds, that retard the spread of microorganisms. To build these walls, they use carbohydrate reserves from their sapwood parenchyma cells interior to the wound. New wounds that breach old walls of strong-compartmentalizing trees, or wounds that intrude into discolored areas of weak-compartmentalizing trees expose areas depleted of carbohydrate content. Here strong new walls cannot be built. The amount of decay resulting from breaching old walls is greater in weak-compartmentalizing trees. Wood-discoloring microorganisms can penetrate Wall 4 when weak-compartmentalizing trees are re-wounded outside this wall. Thus, while any accidental or intentional wounding of tree trunks may result in potential decay problems, any intentional re-wounding, especially when these wounds penetrate through established walls, definitely will lead to decay. Such practices should be discouraged.

Abstract:

Purpose – Ancient city walls are typical linear space elements of Beijing that represent the transformation of urban form over the past 800 years and have greatly influenced the memory of the entire city. However, recently, most of the walls have been torn down in the process of fast urbanization and old city renewal. The purpose of this paper is to focus on people’s cognition and evaluation of urban memory during this pull-down-and-preserve process. Design/methodology/approach – A sample of 380 participants was investigated on a number of issues using questionnaires, including memory case reminders (stability, variability, temporality), emotional bonding with memory case (identity, dependence, authenticity), and socio-demographic variables (age, education, life experience, length of residence). The urban memory cognition model and attitude evaluation value model which were based on Likert scale were used to process the collected data. Findings – In the three aspects of memory case reminders, stability and temporary elements can be most cognized, whereas variability elements are more difficult due to their change over time. As for emotional bonding with memory case, people show a high level of identification with the walls; the walls’ memory being passed down could enhance people’s memory when mentioning Beijing. Further, higher education groups consider the walls’ authenticity to be most important and are unwilling to accept the outcome of walls-ruins parks; older adults have tolerant attitudes to the ruins parks. Originality/value – This study could not only contribute to the excavation of urban memory, but also strengthen citizens’ sense of identity and cohesiveness, thus shaping the spirit and culture of the city. Some findings could provide applicable guidelines for urban heritage protection and contribute a new perspective on the interrelationship between people and their physical surroundings.

Abstract:

Due to the increase in the frequency and intensity of earthquakes and the number of old buildings and in Korea, there is an expected increase in the damage to life and property. Therefore, we intend to derive an indicator to evaluate the risk level by conducting a seismic test on old buildings. An initial crack was generated in the masonry structure to reflect the deterioration. The effect of the deterioration on the building was subsequently analyzed by comparing it with the uncracked control group. As a result, the masonry wall, which was the specimen, satisfied the seismic performance, but local failure occurred along the initial crack in the specimen considering the aging. The safety was significantly decreased due to the occurrence of additional cracks. This demonstrates that the cracks caused by the aging of the masonry building greatly damaged the seismic performance of the building.

Abstract:

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures have their own weight, earthquake, wind, dead loads, live loads, creep, etc. throughout their service life. They are exposed to internal and external load effects. In order to meet the horizontal forces such as earthquake and wind from these loads affecting the structure, shear wall structures with high lateral rigidity are needed. Therefore, shear walls are one of the most important structural elements that can resist earthquake forces due to their high lateral rigidity and load bearing capacities. Most of the buildings today are designed according to the old regulations. Therefore, the shear wall was sized and reinforced according to these old regulations. However, to date, standards have been renewed in certain periods. Despite this, shear walls designed according to the old regulations continue to resist seismic forces. In this study, the design and behavioral differences of the reinforced concrete shear walls between the Turkish Regulation that came into force in 2019, and the old regulation were compared. In addition, RC shear walls were evaluated according to ACI-318-19 and EuroCode-2 regulations.

Abstract:

The influence of tying the walls with steel ties on the seismic behavior of existing brick-masonry houses has been investigated. Three models of simple two-story brick masonry houses with wooden floors, with or without wall ties, have been tested on a simple earthquake simulator. In addition, a model with identical structural configuration, but with r.c. slabs instead of wooden floors, has been tested for comparison. Whereas wooden floors with joists not anchored to the walls did not prevent separation and disintegration of the walls, rigid slabs and steel ties significantly improved seismic behavior. On the basis of test results, a simple method for designing the ties has been proposed.

The metaphor has moved from walls to windows: for transparency, fresh air, connection, and some protection from the harsher elements. A proactive windows strategy assembles scale and scope collaboratively, creates relationships that make switching unattractive, develops intangible resources all along the value chain, and builds co‐specialized capabilities. Illustrative examples come from three companies that have thrived in the digital age: eBay (a new company and industry), Lending Tree (new in an old industry), and Charles Schwab (old in an old industry).

Abstract:

Assyrian sculptures have been treated in various ways. Neglected original records about pieces found at Nineveh can still be informative. Pieces that did not go at once to major public museums were sometimes liable to rejuvenation, detached from their original contexts but endowed with new significance as commercial assets, as independent works of art, or as integral parts of contemporary architecture. Two Nimrud sculptures, built into the walls of Newbattle Abbey near Edinburgh, represent a unique fusion of Assyrian and Scots artistry, now vulnerable to financial pressures.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine whether venule distension characteristics are modified in denervated venules in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) during the developmental stage of hypertension. The distension of denervated first-order venules (1V) and small collecting veins (SCV) in the intestine of 7- to 8-wk-old SHR, Wistar-Kyoto (WKY), and Wistar rats were measured with intravital microscopy during venous pressure elevation. Diameter strain and distensibility were calculated for the 1V and SCV from vessel diameter and servo-null pressure. The Wistar 1V underwent larger strains and distensibilities than the WKY or SHR vessels, which had similar characteristics. For the SCV, the Wistar and WKY strains and distensibilities were similar, with the SHR different from these at only certain pressure elevations. Thus no consistent patterns of altered distension characteristics were found in denervated SHR SCV or 1V compared with its controls. This study does not distinguish between changes in local active and passive factors in the vessel wall which may influence distension. Our results may be consistent with disease mechanisms in the 7- to 8-wk-old SHR which leave these local factors unchanged or with mechanisms which have local venular effects that counterbalance each other, leaving the distension behavior of the denervated venules unchanged.

Abstract:

Masonry walls resist most of the lateral loads in some Chinese historical architecture. To investigate the seismic properties of these load-bearing masonry walls, blocks in a typical Chinese old building undergoing retrofit are reserved. Compressive test specimens and wall panel specimens are constructed using these blocks and lime mortar. Mixing of the lime mortar is similar to that used in the old building. Material tests and pseudo-static tests are then performed. The damage modes and hysteretic curves of the wall panel specimens are studied. The test results are expanded through computer simulation. Some characteristics of the load-bearing masonry walls are summarized based on the test and simulation results. The proposed methodology and results can be referred to in further researches on seismic properties of historical masonry architectures.

Abstract:

This article publishes two headless sphinxes, now in the Open Panorama site near the Al-Nasr Gate of Old Cairo. According to inscriptions and stylistic features, one sphinx belonged to King Amenemhat V of Dynasty 13. His monuments are scanty despite his four or five years of rule. The other sphinx belongs to Ramses II of the Dynasty 19. Its inscribed offering table is unique. The statues originally ornamented a sphinx avenue of the temple of Heliopolis. Then they were reused as a lintel for a side gate and a threshold of the Ayyubid Walls of Old Cairo during the medieval period. This paper presents the two sphinxes from the walls of Old Cairo and tries to determine from where they were brought to Old Cairo, and how they were transported to their present location.

Abstract:

Cardiac β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) signaling and left ventricular (LV) responses to β-AR stimulation are impaired with aging. It is shown that exercise and β-AR blockade have a favorable effect on cardiac and vascular β-AR signaling in several cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, we examined the effects of these two different strategies on β-AR dysregulation and LV inotropic reserve in the aging heart. Forty male Wistar-Kyoto aged rats were randomized to sedentary, exercise (12 wk treadmill training), metoprolol (250 mg·kg−1·day−1 for 4 wk), and exercise plus metoprolol treatment protocols. Ten male Wistar-Kyoto sedentary young rats were also used as a control group. Old trained, old metoprolol-treated, and old trained plus metoprolol-treated rats showed significantly improved LV maximal and minimal first derivative of the pressure rise responses to β-AR stimulation (isoproterenol) compared with old untrained animals. We found a significant reduction in cardiac sarcolemmal membrane β-AR density and adenylyl cyclase activity in old untrained animals compared with young controls. Exercise training and metoprolol, alone or combined, restored cardiac β-AR density and G-protein-dependent adenylyl cyclase activation in old rats. Although cardiac membrane G-protein-receptor kinase 2 levels were not upregulated in untrained old compared with young control rats, both exercise and metoprolol treatment resulted in a dramatic reduction of G-protein-receptor kinase 2 protein levels, which is a further indication of β-AR signaling amelioration in the aged heart induced by these treatment modalities. In conclusion, we demonstrate for the first time that exercise and β-AR blockade can similarly ameliorate β-AR signaling in the aged heart, leading to improved β-AR responsiveness and corresponding LV inotropic reserve.

Abstract:

The National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) references Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standard A23.3 for the design of concrete structures. The seismic design provisions in the 2004 edition of CSA A23.3, which ensure concrete walls without confinement reinforcement have adequate flexural displacement capacity (ductility), have been completely revised from the provisions in the 1994 edition of CSA A23.3 standard, which are similar to the provisions in the 1984 edition. The new provisions require an estimate of the displacement demand of the seismic force resisting system due to the design earthquake. For ductile walls that are part of a system with good displacement control, the new provisions are less restrictive than the old provisions, while for moderately (nominally) ductile walls, the new provisions are considerably more restrictive than the old provisions. A comprehensive review of the 1984 and 1994 provisions and the background to the 2004 provisions are presented, and it is explained why the seismic design provisions required significant changes.Key words: building codes, concrete walls, displacement-based design, ductility, seismic design.

Abstract:

Abstract Kyoto is home to a number of unique year-end festivals. This article focuses on traditions that occur during Shimotsuki and Shiwasu (the eleventh and twelfth months of the old Japanese lunisolar calendar), including the fire festivals of O-hitaki, Niinamesai, and Daikondaki; events that celebrate visiting deities, such as Daishikō; and purification rites of Shintō, Buddhist, and folk tradition, such as Kakure nenbutsu, Butsumyōe, and Sekizoro. Analysis and comparison of these rituals reveals a common motivation for their origin. As the power of the sun wanes with the winter solstice, the people of Kyoto in the past felt a need to reflect on the previous year, cleanse themselves of accumulated sin and misfortune, and pray that the coming year would bring peace, fortune, and a fertile harvest.

Abstract:

Building protection on our century is very important because of the terrorist attacks. The old buildings in Europe aren’t enough strong again blast loads. Nowadays we know many different explosives and theirs effects of walls and human bodies. The detonation caused blast effect provokes building damage and fragmentation effects. The explosion caused damages, parts of bricks and fragments produce other secondary damage in other buildings and human bodies.It can’t protect the historical and old buildings by new walls and fences because of the cityscape. It needs to find new possibilities to improve the buildings resistance again blast effects. It needs a effectively thin and strong materials to reinforced the buildings walls. The new materials innovated by material science can be good solution for this project. These materials usually composites likes syntactic foams, spherical shells or carbon fields reinforced composites.

Abstract:

The growth of sausage-shaped cells of the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain NCYC 132), was followed in the second or third cycle by time-lapse photomicrography. Experimental cells were harvested from glucose-limited (0.2% glucose EMM3) chemostat culture (dilution rate, 0.125/h) and were plated onto a slide with EMM3 agar (2% glucose). By observing their extension patterns, we found some rules of extension growth. Thus, (1) all sibs with walls newly formed in the previous cycle, whose progenitor cells grew at the old end (followed Mitchison's rule), grow at the old end (also follow Mitchison's rule). (2) Sibs with old walls whose progenitor cell followed Mitchison's rule behave in one of three ways: (i) growth at the old end (follow Mitchison's rule); (ii) growth at the new end (violate Mitchison's rule); or (iii) growth at both ends (bipolar). (3) Both sibs whose progenitor grew at both ends (bipolar) always grow at the old end (follow Mitchison's rule).
