Abstract

Excessive growth hormone (GH) has been shown to promote joint degeneration in both preclinical and clinical studies. Little is known about the effect of disrupted GH or GH receptor (GHR) on joint health. The goal of this study is to investigate joint pathology in mice with either germline (GHR-/-) or adult inducible (iGHR-/-) GHR deficiency. Knee joints from male and female GHR-/- and WT mice at 24 months of age were processed for histological analysis. Also, knee joints from male and female iGHR-/- and WT mice at 22 months of age were scanned by micro-CT (μCT) for subchondral bone changes and characterized via histology for cartilage degeneration. Joint sections were also stained for the chondrocyte hypertrophy marker, COLX, and the cartilage degeneration marker, ADAMTS-5, using immunohistochemistry. Compared to WT mice, GHR-/- mice had remarkably smooth articular joint surfaces and an even distribution of proteoglycan with no signs of degeneration. Quantitatively, GHR-/- mice had lower OARSI and Mankin scores compared to WT controls. By contrast, iGHR-/- mice were only moderately protected from developing aging-associated OA. iGHR-/- mice had a significantly lower Mankin score compared to WT. However, Mankin scores were not significantly different between iGHR-/- and WT when males and females were analyzed separately. OARSI scores did not differ significantly between WT and iGHR-/- in either individual or combined sex analyses. Both GHR-/- and iGHR-/- mice had fewer COLX+ hypertrophic chondrocytes compared to WT, while no significant difference was observed in ADAMTS-5 staining. Compared to WT, a significantly lower trabecular thickness in the subchondral bone was observed in the iGHR-/- male mice but not in the female mice. However, there were no significant differences between WT and iGHR-/- mice in the bone volume to total tissue volume (BV/TV), bone mineral density (BMD), and trabecular number in either sex. This study identified that both germline and adult-induced GHR deficiency protected mice from developing aging-associated OA with more effective protection in GHR-/- mice.

Abstract

Progress in mechanobiology allowed us to better understand the important role of mechanical forces in the regulation of biological processes. Space research in the field of life sciences clearly showed that gravity plays a crucial role in biological processes. The space environment offers the unique opportunity to carry out experiments without gravity, helping us not only to understand the effects of gravitational alterations on biological systems but also the mechanisms underlying mechanoperception and cell/tissue response to mechanical and gravitational stresses. Despite the progress made so far, for future space exploration programs it is necessary to increase our knowledge on the mechanotransduction processes as well as on the molecular mechanisms underlying microgravity-induced cell and tissue alterations. This white paper reports the suggestions and recommendations of the SciSpacE Science Community for the elaboration of the section of the European Space Agency roadmap “Biology in Space and Analogue Environments” focusing on “How are cells and tissues influenced by gravity and what are the gravity perception mechanisms?” The knowledge gaps that prevent the Science Community from fully answering this question and the activities proposed to fill them are discussed.

Abstract

There has been little research to date specifically addressing counselors' experiences with complementary therapy. The objective of this exploratory survey was to assess counselors' professional practice, knowledge and training, and personal experience with complementary therapy. The study design was a web-based, random sample survey of American Counseling Association members. Results indicated the typical respondent was female, Caucasian, holds a Master's degree and works in a private practice/self-employed or community agency setting as an outpatient counselor. Few respondents asked about or had clients volunteer use of complementary therapy. Anxiety and depression were the most common client concerns for which respondents recommended or referred for complementary therapy. Respondents agreed that client referrals should be to licensed or certified practitioners. Respondents reported that complementary therapy provided clients with at least some positive benefits and few negative consequences. The majority of respondents included complementary therapy in counseling during the past year and thought that complementary therapy should be included in addition to counseling. Although respondents considered themselves qualified to discuss a variety of complementary therapies, few possessed licensure or certification. The majority of respondents used informal, self-study to gain knowledge of complementary therapy. Most respondents have personally experienced at least one complementary therapy, primarily "To improve overall wellness". Respondents reported they received some to large benefits from this experience. A number of respondents descriptors had moderately positive associations with client usage, recommendation and referral, inclusion, and knowledge factors. These descriptors were those respondents who worked in a private practice/self-employed setting, as an outpatient counselor, were licensed as an LPC, provided individual, family/couples, or alcohol/substance abuse counseling, and had a psychodynamic orientation. There were moderately negative associations between respondents who worked in a K-12 setting, did not possess mental health licensure and were a Master's student and client usage, recommendation and referral, and inclusion factors. The data provide support for the idea that counselors are beginning to embrace a post-modern approach, which gives consideration to complementary therapy interventions. However, the findings also suggested that the counseling profession still has a good deal of work to do before it can be considered truly holistic. Ph. D.

Abstract

In this essay, the author examines the third component in the role of civic virtue in democratic education from a Levinasian point of view. He references Emmanuel Levinas's view of the relationship between societal peace and the ethical demands of responsibility that challenges the understanding of the role of virtue in democratic education. He demonstrates that rather than a third component which sits equally alongside of knowledge and skills, virtue has moral priority and should be understood not as traits of character.

Abstract

The article offers a response to the essay "Are Schools Improvable? A Rumination on Positionality," by Alexander M. Sidorkin. The author appreciates Sidorkin's contribution in letting the people understand the effect of scarcity in contemporary public education. He agrees that it is important to address the arguments about schooling as an intractable institution and that philosophical examination should be done on various aspects of contemporary schooling. According to him, the best solution on the problem of educational scarcity is the abandonment of a school-based education.
