    cancers Review Cannabinoids and Endocannabinoid System Changes in Intestinal Inflammation and Colorectal Cancer Viktoriia Cherkasova, Olga Kovalchuk * and Igor Kovalchuk * Department of Biological Sciences, University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge, AB T1K 7X8, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (O.K.); [email protected] (I.K.) Simple Summary: In recent years, multiple preclinical studies have shown that changes in endo- cannabinoid system signaling may have various effects on intestinal inflammation and colorectal cancer. However, not all tumors can respond to cannabinoid therapy in the same manner. Given that colorectal cancer is a heterogeneous disease with different genomic landscapes, experiments with cannabinoids should involve different molecular subtypes, emerging mutations, and various stages of the disease. We hope that this review can help researchers form a comprehensive understanding of cannabinoid interactions in colorectal cancer and intestinal bowel diseases. We believe that selecting a particular experimental model based on the disease’s genetic landscape is a crucial step in the drug discovery, which eventually may tremendously benefit patient’s treatment outcomes and bring us one step closer to individualized medicine. Abstract: Despite the multiple preventive measures and treatment options, colorectal cancer holds a significant place in the world’s disease and mortality rates. The development of novel therapy is in Citation: Cherkasova, V.; Kovalchuk, critical need, and based on recent experimental data, cannabinoids could become excellent candidates. O.; Kovalchuk, I.

  • Smiths Abound Discussion Document
    Smiths Abound According to Wikipedia, Smith is the most common surname in the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States, and second only to Li in Canada. It is the fifth most common surname in Ireland. Worldwide there are about 5 million Smiths; data on how many live in the U.S.is conflicting, but at least 2.4 million. Therefore, it’s not surprising that people who bear the surname Smith have chosen to have their own holiday on January 6. The event seems to have been started by Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith in 1995, in part to find help in tracing her own genealogy. She chose January 6th because it was the birthday in 1580 of Captain John Smith, the English colonial leader who helped to settle Jamestown, Virginia in 1607, thereby bringing the name to North American shores. The word “smith” derives from the word “smite” or “strike,” and although there has been a suggestion that Smiths originally derived their name from the occupation of soldiers (smiting the enemy), most present day Smiths are probably descendants of blacksmiths who worked with black metals, such as iron. Related names include: • Whitesmith and Tinsmith for those who worked with tin • Coppersmith (or in Adrienne’s case) Koopersmith for those who worked with copper, and Brownsmith, Redsmith, and Greensmith for the color of copper when it oxidized • Silversmith and Goldsmith, obviously for those who worked with silver and gold In addition, of course, there are people named Smythe, Smithers, Smitherman, Smithson, or Smithwick, all related in one way or another to their laboring ancestors.

(UNAM) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of PhD Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences University of Glasgow September 2014 Abstract Neuroblastoma is the most common solid extracranial tumour in children. The neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line is a third successive subclone established from a metastatic bone tumour biopsy. It can be induced to differentiate (regress) into a neuronal phenotype when treated with any of several molecules including retinoic acid (RA). This characteristic has been exploited in several studies that use the SH-SY5Y cell line as a neuronal model. These studies have had far- reaching implications in shaping our understanding of certain key aspects of neurotoxicity and neurodevelopment yet their genuine relevance becomes evident when approached from an oncological point of view, as they provide information about the process underlying tumour regression which in turn can lead to the development of better therapies for the clinical management of this malignancy.

  • Journeys with Judah Halevi, Ignatius Loyola and Malcolm X
    ON PILGRIMAGE: Journeys with Judah Halevi, Ignatius Loyola and Malcolm X Patrick J. Ryan, S.J. Laurence J. McGinley Professor of Religion and Society Fordham University INTRODUCTION My first pilgrimage took place sixty years ago, in the fall of my freshman year in high school. With my fellow pilgrims I traveled by train from New York City to Auriesville, New York, a village in the Mohawk River Valley. Six decades ago, all the Jesuit institutions in and around New York City hired a full train so that students, staff and other friends of the Jesuits could travel together on pilgrimage to the Shrine of the North American Martyrs at Auriesville on the Sunday in the fall nearest to their feast. That is October 19th now, but September 26th then. Who were the North American martyrs? Eight French Jesuit missionaries who died violent deaths in the 1640s in what is now Canada and New York State. Needless to say, their martyrdom not only testified to their faith but also, quite realistically, to the forebodings the Iroquois Confederacy harbored about encroaching French presence in the middle of the seventeenth century. Our pilgrimage to Auriesville in 1953 was not all prayer and solemnity, I assure you, although there were both at the mass in the Martyrs’ Shrine that Sunday, and along the paths that took us past trees marked with simple crosses and the name of Jesus, imitating a practice once followed in the Mohawk village of Ossernenon by Isaac Jogues, René Goupil and Jean de la Lande in the 1640s. But the train ride on either end of the visit to Auriesville was more 1 fun, as I recall.

  • Noms De Famille Issus De L'artisanat En France Et En Pologne
    ROCZNIKI HUMANISTYCZNE Tom LXVI, zeszyt 8 – 2019 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18290/rh.2019.67.8-5 IWONA PIECHNIK1 NOMS DE FAMILLE ISSUS DE L’ARTISANAT EN FRANCE ET EN POLOGNE SURNAMES FROM ARTISAN NAMES IN FRANCE AND IN POLAND Abstract The article analyses surnames originating from artisan names in France and in Poland. It presents their origins (including foreign influences), types and word formation. We can see, among other things, that the French surnames are shorter, but have many dialectal variants, while the Polish surnames are longer and have a richer derivation. The article also focuses on demographic statis- tics of such surnames in both countries: the blacksmith as an etymon is the most popular. In the top 50, there are also in France: baker, miller and mason; while in Poland: tailor and shoemaker. Key words: family names; surnames; patronyms; handicraft; artisan. Les plus anciens noms de famille issus des domaines de l’artisanat en France et en Pologne remontent au Moyen Âge, donc à l’époque où le sys- tème féodal se renforçait et les villes commençaient à se développer, en nourrissant surtout les ambitions des nobles de construire leurs demeures seigneuriales, et des gens de petits métiers venaient s’installer tout autour naturellement. Dans des bourgs, c’est-à-dire dans de gros villages où se te- naient ordinairement des marchés, les bourgeois bénéficiaient d’un statut privilégié et développaient le commerce et la conjoncture de la manufacture, donc il y avait aussi beaucoup de travail pour différents métiers. C’est juste- ment dans les bourgs et les villes que l’artisanat se développait le mieux, en 1 Dr hab.

    254 LRTS 51(4) Family Names and the Cataloger By Laurence S. Creider The Joint Steering Committee for the Revision of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules has indicated that the replacement for the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd ed., to be known as Resource Description and Access, will allow the use of family names as authors and will provide rules for their formation. This paper discusses what a family name describes; examines how information seekers look for family names and what they expect to find; describes the ways in which family names have been established in Anglo-American cataloging and archival traditions; asks how adequately the headings established under these rules help users find such information; and suggests how revised cataloging rules might bet- ter enable users to identify resources that meet their needs. escriptive catalogers have devoted a great deal of time over the last century Dto deciding how to establish personal names and corporate names, but they have largely ignored family names. Anglo-American cataloging codes have been based on the notion that authorship is the best basis for organizing access to works, and many library catalogers have not considered the possibility that families can be capable of authorship. One looks in vain for a discussion of families as points of entry or as headings in the comparative studies of cataloging codes written by Pettee, Hanson, or Ranganathan.1 The Paris Principles adopted in 1961 do not even mention the word family.2 This state of affairs has persisted from the days of Cutter through the various Anglo-American cataloging codes, as a glance at Laurence Creider ([email protected].
