Face perception is the basis of many types of social information exchange, but there is controversy over its underlying mechanisms. Researchers have theorized two processing pathways underlying facial perception: configural processing and featural processing. Featural processing focuses on the individual features of a face, whereas configural processing focuses on the spatial relations of features. To resolve the debate on the relative contribution of the two pathways in face perception, researchers have proposed a dual processing model that the two pathways contribute to two different perceptions, detecting face-like patterns and identifying individual faces. The dual processing model is based on face perception experiments that primarily use static faces. As we mostly interact with dynamic faces in real life, the generalization of the model to dynamic faces will advance our understanding of how faces are perceived in real life. This paper proposes a refined dual processing model of dynamic face perception, in which expertise in dynamic face perception supports identifying individual faces, and it is a learned behaviour that develops with age. Specifically, facial motions account for the advantages of dynamic faces, compared to static faces. This paper highlights two intrinsic characteristics of facial motions that enable the advantages of dynamic faces in face perception. Firstly, facial motion provides facial information from various viewpoints, and thus supports the generalization of face perception to the unlearned view of faces. Secondly, distinctive motion patterns serve as a cue to the identity of the face.
人脸感知是许多类型的社会信息交换的基础,但其潜在机制存在争议。研究人员已经将面部感知的两种处理途径理论化:结构处理和自然处理。特征处理侧重于人脸的个体特征,而构形处理侧重于特征的空间关系。为了解决关于这两种途径在人脸感知中的相对贡献的争论,研究人员提出了一个双重处理模型,即这两种路径有助于两种不同的感知,即检测类人脸模式和识别个体人脸。双重处理模型基于主要使用静态人脸的人脸感知实验。由于我们在现实生活中大多与动态人脸互动,将模型推广到动态人脸将促进我们对现实生活中人脸感知方式的理解。本文提出了一种改进的动态人脸感知双重处理模型,其中动态人脸感知的专业知识支持识别个体人脸,这是一种随着年龄的增长而发展的习得行为。具体来说,与静态人脸相比,动态人脸的优势在于面部运动。本文强调了面部运动的两个内在特征,这使得动态面部在面部感知中具有优势。首先,面部运动从不同的角度提供面部信息,从而支持将面部感知推广到未学习的面部视图。第二,独特的动作模式可以提示人脸的身份。

The spiral patterns of snail shells exhibit chirality, or “handedness.” These patterns often heavily favor the dextral (right-handed, or clockwise) over the sinistral (left-handed, clockwise) phenotype. While the developmental pathways resulting in each enantiomorph (non-superimposable mirror image form) have been studied extensively, there has been limited investigation into how the emphasis on one spiral direction over the other may confer survival benefit. This perspective essay proposes that developmental events determining cell cleavage robustness, mating compatibility, and predator evasion can influence the distribution of dextral and sinistral snails. The connection between chirality and survivability has broader implications for exploring the role of handedness in diseases and their treatments.
蜗牛壳的螺旋图案表现出手性或“利手性”。这些图案通常更倾向于右旋(右旋或顺时针)而非左旋(左旋、顺时针)表型。虽然导致每种对映体(不可叠加的镜像形式)的发育途径已经得到了广泛的研究,但对强调一个螺旋方向而不是另一个方向如何能带来生存益处的研究有限。这篇观点文章提出,决定细胞切割稳健性、交配兼容性和捕食者逃避的发育事件会影响右旋和左旋蜗牛的分布。手性和生存能力之间的联系对探索利手性在疾病及其治疗中的作用具有更广泛的意义。

The Evolution of TNF-α Blockade for the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis TNF-α阻断治疗类风湿关节炎的进展

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α is a potent trimeric cytokine which plays a fundamental role in the host immuno-inflammatory response, as well as in homeostasis and development. Although critical for canonical immune function, TNF-α has great destructive potential and is implicated in the development of multiple immune-mediated disorders. Within the context of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), TNF-α acts as a primary pathogenic driver by precipitating a pro-inflammatory cytokine cascade and coordinating the attraction and activation of immune cells, all of which culminate in damage to the synovium. The discovery of the paramount role of TNF-α in the pathophysiology of RA motivated studies to understand the effects of TNF blockade in vitro and in vivo. Promising preclinical results provided the impetus for clinical trials, spearheaded in the 1980s and 90s by Marc Feldmann, which revealed significant improvements across RA symptom scores and finally led to FDA approval in 1998. As of 2021, five TNF-α blocking agents have been widely applied clinically, including infliximab (IFX), etanercept (ETN), adalimumab (ADA), golimumab (GLM) and certolizumab pegol (CZP). All of them successfully ameliorated symptoms of RA and the associated tissue damage, especially in patients not responding to traditional treatment methods. Anti-TNFs are most often administered in combination with methotrexate (MTX) as part of Phase II treatment (i.e., second line). Although the general availability of anti-TNFs has dramatically improved patient outcomes, sustained remission is rare and the mechanism of RA remains incompletely understood. Thus, additional basic and translational research is warranted, towards the aim of developing novel RA treatments.
肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)-α是一种有效的三聚体细胞因子,在宿主免疫炎症反应以及体内平衡和发育中起着重要作用。尽管TNF-α对典型免疫功能至关重要,但它具有巨大的破坏潜力,并与多种免疫介导疾病的发展有关。在类风湿关节炎(RA)的背景下,TNF-α通过促进促炎细胞因子级联和协调免疫细胞的吸引和激活,作为主要的致病驱动因素,所有这些最终导致滑膜损伤。TNF-α在RA病理生理中的重要作用的发现促使研究了解TNF阻断在体外和体内的作用。有希望的临床前结果为临床试验提供了动力,在20世纪80年代和90年代由Marc Feldmann带头,显示了RA症状评分的显着改善,并最终于1998年获得FDA批准。截至2021年,5种TNF-α阻断剂已广泛应用于临床,包括英夫利昔单抗(IFX)、依那西普(ETN)、阿达木单抗(ADA)、戈利木单抗(GLM)和certolizumab pegol (CZP)。所有这些都成功地改善了RA的症状和相关的组织损伤,特别是对传统治疗方法无效的患者。抗tnf最常与甲氨蝶呤(MTX)联合使用,作为II期治疗的一部分(即二线)。尽管抗tnf的普遍可用性显著改善了患者的预后,但持续缓解的情况很少,RA的机制仍不完全清楚。因此,进一步的基础和转化研究是必要的,以开发新的RA治疗方法。

The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated a rapid change in the delivery of healthcare around the world. Many facilities have transitioned suitable services to virtual care to reduce the risk of viral transmission and preserve healthcare resources for spikes in COVID-19 cases. Since institutions have rapidly expanded the usage of virtual care beyond its previous confines, investigations are required to ensure that the adapted system is working for patients. While important, clinical and patient-reported outcome data do not provide complete insight into the specific impacts of pandemic-time changes from the patient’s perspective. Therefore, to get a complete picture of these changes, it is also necessary to look at patient experience, which evidence suggests, could be impacted by virtual care in positive ways, but only in specific cases. Thus, it is vital to record pandemic-time patient experiences and analyse how the implementation of virtual visits impacts the delivery of person-centred care. This data should be used to determine how virtual care can be optimally implemented into the Canadian healthcare system after the resolution of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it is currently unclear how virtual care will be integrated into the post-pandemic landscape, the approach offers benefits to both patients and providers. Canada-wide, longitudinal studies investigating patient experience using virtual care during the COVID-19 pandemic are required in order to ascertain exactly how this novel approach can be leveraged to benefit patients.
2019冠状病毒病大流行迫使世界各地的医疗保健服务发生迅速变化。许多机构已将适当的服务转向虚拟医疗,以降低病毒传播的风险,并为COVID-19病例激增保留医疗资源。由于机构已经迅速扩大了虚拟护理的使用范围,超出了以前的限制,因此需要进行调查,以确保经过调整的系统对患者有效。临床和患者报告的结果数据虽然重要,但不能从患者的角度全面了解大流行时期变化的具体影响。因此,为了全面了解这些变化,也有必要研究患者的体验,有证据表明,虚拟护理可能会以积极的方式影响患者的体验,但仅在特定情况下。因此,记录大流行期间患者的经历并分析虚拟就诊的实施如何影响以人为本的护理的提供至关重要。这些数据应用于确定在COVID-19大流行解决后如何在加拿大医疗保健系统中最佳地实施虚拟医疗。虽然目前尚不清楚虚拟护理将如何融入大流行后的环境,但这种方法对患者和提供者都有好处。需要在加拿大范围内进行纵向研究,调查在COVID-19大流行期间使用虚拟护理的患者体验,以确定如何利用这种新方法使患者受益。

Multiple comparative analyses between the common drugs and cell lines of the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) and the Cancer Therapeutics Response Portal (CTRP) have previously shown low consistency between the in vitro phenotypic measures of a drug in one study with the other. While several potential sources of inconsistency have been tested, the similar targets of tested compounds has yet to be tested as a contributing factor of discrepancy. This analysis includes two methods of reclassifying drugs into classes based on their targets to identify the truer set of consistent cell lines, showing an increased correlation between the two pharmacogenomic studies.

Neurogenesis is vital in the preservation of cognition. Previous studies have reported antioxidant vitamins as a key regulatory factor in neurogenesis. However, current research investigating their role is inconclusive due to the limited number of studies that have been conducted and conflicting results. This review evaluates the scientific evidence behind the potential roles of antioxidant vitamins in neurogenesis. Observations concerned with the mechanistic and functional aspects of how antioxidant vitamins modulate neurogenesis are both assessed. Vitamin A is evidently involved in cell cycle regulation and cell proliferation; vitamin C reportedly promotes neural differentiation and maturation while inhibiting neurite outgrowth; vitamin E is identified to inhibit cell proliferation while improving cell viability. Varying antioxidant vitamin concentrations have been implicated in facilitating cognition in terms of attention, memory, language, and executive function. Moreover, this review suggests a threshold antioxidant vitamin concentration that should be maintained to promote optimal levels of adult neurogenesis.
神经发生对认知的保存至关重要。以前的研究已经报道抗氧化维生素是神经发生的关键调节因子。然而,由于已经进行的研究数量有限,结果相互矛盾,目前调查其作用的研究尚无定论。这篇综述评估了抗氧化维生素在神经发生中潜在作用的科学证据。关于抗氧化维生素如何调节神经发生的机制和功能方面的观察都进行了评估。维生素A明显参与细胞周期调节和细胞增殖;据报道,维生素C促进神经分化和成熟,同时抑制神经突的生长;维生素E可以抑制细胞增殖,同时提高细胞活力。不同的抗氧化维生素浓度与促进注意力、记忆、语言和执行功能方面的认知有关。此外,这篇综述建议维持一个阈值抗氧化维生素浓度,以促进成人神经发生的最佳水平。

Moreover, this review suggests a threshold antioxidant vitamin concentration that should be maintained to promote optimal levels of adult neurogenesis.","PeriodicalId":40102,"journal":{"name":"University of Toronto Journal of Undergraduate Life Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43585061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
