Bullying in the Classroom: (PRJFGS) - Lupine Publishers



Over the last decade, we have seen a dramatic increase in violent acts perpetrated by youth (Dahlberg, 1998). The school shootings have awakened the public, the media, community, and mental  health professionals to the endemic nature of violence in our school population. Violence is defined as physically assaultive behavior. Aggravated assaults by males less than 18 years of age increased by 88% from 1985-1994 while aggravated assaults by females increased by 134% in the same time period (Dahlberg, 1998). A number of studies have documented that a child who is aggressive in his preschool and early elementary school years is at high risk for being a delinquent during his adolescent years.

Whole-Exome Sequencing Reveals a Recurrent D401N Mutation in the COMP gene that Causes Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasia: (PRJFGS) - Lupinepublishers


Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) is a rare osteochondrodysplasia characterized by moderate short limb dwarfism and earlyonset osteoarthrosis. By whole-exome sequencing (WES), we identified a dominantly inherited mutation (c.1201G>A; p.D401N) in cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) in a large four-generation Chinese family. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed mutant COMP secretion was severely impaired. Our result expands the mutational spectrum of COMP and provides strong evidence for the genotype-phenotype correlation of COMP pathogenicity in MED.

Ethanol Neogenesis in Stored Blood: (PRJFGS) - Lupine Publishers



During the investigation of accidental cases, blood samples obtained from accidental victim are submitted to forensic science laboratory for toxicological analysis. All through, ethanol analysis is performed on almost all cases of blood samples. The main problem is determining alcohol concentration in these cases is changes in Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) that can occur due to neo formation of ethanol. Blood samples stored under in sufficient conditions or for longer times and body fluids have undergone petrifaction often contains certain amount of volatile compounds. In the light of possibility that, neo formation of ethanol in improperly stored blood might give rise to an incorrect estimation of BAC. With this in mind, to study the effect of preservative and temperature on the formation and concentration of ethanol in blood samples, we estimated the ethanol neo genesis in stored and normal blood in different time period (0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days). Head Space-Gas Chromatography instrument used to measure the level of ethanol in blood sample. We found that neo formation of ethanol was observed in normal blood sample. There was no any neo formation observed in blood sample with preservative and blood stored at 4 °C. Our study is supporting the studies which suggest that storage condition will affect the neo formation of ethanol in blood samples.
