Abstract 1. The rate of swelling of high-molecular compounds is a function of the chemical nature and geometric structure of the components of the mixture. 2. In an investigation of the molecular mechanism of swelling of high polymers having highly developed spatial structures, theoretical variations of the rate of swelling with the degree of swelling and molecular characteristics of the components of the mixture were derived for cases where the limiting rate is that of three-dimensional deformation of the specimen in the swelling process, and for the case where the slowest process is the diffusion penetration of the solvent. 3. It is shown that, in both the above-mentioned cases, the rate of swelling depends essentially on the values of the specific cohesion energies of the components of the mixture.

Transient “kiss and run” interactions between endosomes containing iron-bound transferrin (Tf) and mitochondria have been shown to facilitate direct iron transfer in erythroid cells. In this study, we used superresolution three-dimensional (3D) direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy to show that Tf-containing endosomes directly interact with mitochondria in epithelial cells. We used live-cell time-lapse fluorescence microscopy, followed by 3D rendering, object tracking, and a distance transformation algorithm, to track Tf-endosomes and characterize the dynamics of their interactions with mitochondria. Quenching of iron sensor RDA-labeled mitochondria confirmed functional iron transfer by an interacting Tf-endosome. The motility of Tf-endosomes is significantly reduced upon interaction with mitochondria. To further assess the functional role of iron in the ability of Tf-endosomes to interact with mitochondria, we blocked endosomal iron release by using a Tf K206E/K534A mutant. Blocking intraendosomal iron release led to significantly increased motility of Tf-endosomes and increased duration of endosome–mitochondria interactions. Thus, intraendosomal iron regulates the kinetics of the interactions between Tf-containing endosomes and mitochondria in epithelial cells.

This paper deals with the influence of the metallurgical parameters of dies and sheet on the friction shear-stress which could be measured by P.S.C.T. The metallurgical parameters of the dies have a marked effect on the kinetics of formation of transfer layers. The metallurgical parameters of the sheet have an effect both on the kinetics of formation, and the chemical nature of the transfer layers. Many parameters must be controlled to have good reliability in PSCT. Then the results can be correlated with boundary lubrication in cold rolling.

The kinetics of swelling of epoxy coatings modified with polyaniline is investigated. The influence of the three-dimensional solubility parameter, the dielectric permeability, and the molar volume of solvent on the swelling of epoxy polymer coatings is shown. The parameters of the three-dimensional network for epoxy coatings modified with polyaniline are calculated.

: HOX genes belong to the highly conserved homeobox superfamily, responsible for the regulation of various cellular processes that control cell homeostasis, from embryogenesis to carcinogenesis. The abnormal expression of HOX genes is observed in various cancers, including breast cancer; they act as oncogenes or as suppressors of cancer, according to context. In this review, we analyze HOX gene expression patterns in breast cancer and examine their relationship, based on the three-dimensional genome structure of the HOX locus. The presence of non-coding RNAs, embedded within the HOX cluster, and the role of these molecules in breast cancer have been reviewed. We further evaluate the characteristic activity of HOX protein in breast cancer and its therapeutic potential.

The kinetics of oxidation of [Co(en)2SCH2COO]+ with S2O82- was studied in water-methanol and water-tert-butyl alcohol mixtures. Changes in the reaction activation parameters ∆H≠ and ∆S≠ with varying concentration of the co-solvent depend on the kind of the latter, which points to a significant role of salvation effects. The solvation effect on the reaction is discussed based on a comparison of the transfer functions ∆Ht0, ∆St0 and ∆Gt0 for the initial and transition states with the changes in the activation parameters accompanying changes in the CO-solvent concentration. The transfer enthalpies of the reactant were obtained from calorimetric measurements.

Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a rare, benign, fibro-osseous lesion of the jawbone characterised by replacement of the normal bone with fibrous tissue. The fibrous tissue shows varying amount of calcified structures resembling bone and/or cementum. The central variant of OF is rare, and shows predilection for mandible among the jawbone. Although it is classified as fibro-osseous lesion, it clinically behaves as a benign tumour and can grow to large size, causing bony swelling and facial asymmetry. This paper reports a case of large central OF of mandible in a 40-year-old male patient. The lesion was treated by segmental resection of mandible. Reconstruction of the surgical defect was done using avascular fibula bone graft. Role of three-dimensional printing of jaw and its benefits in surgical planning and reconstruction are also highlighted.
