Using data from the National Health Interview Survey, we found that, during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, states that had previously expanded their Medicaid programs under the Affordable Care Act had lower uninsurance rates for White low-income adults (-8.8 percentage points; 95% CI: -16.6, -1.0) and lower dental uninsurance rates for all low-income adults (-5.4 percentage points; 95% CI: -10.4, -0.5). Our findings also suggest that the combination of Medicaid expansion with coverage of adult dental benefits in Medicaid was associated with improved dental coverage and access to dental care during the pandemic. With the expiration of the public health emergency declaration, states are considering strategies to prevent disruptions in Medicaid coverage. Our study adds to the evidence of the importance of Medicaid expansion in stabilizing health coverage during a public health crisis.</p>","PeriodicalId":45476,"journal":{"name":"NOTES AND QUERIES","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10948102/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83502575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these reports have not yet succeeded in inducing stable plaques nor creating a high degree of intimal thickening to be used as animal models. We have previously developed a plaque induction model in rats but have failed to obtain a plaque incidence frequency that can be used as a model. Thus, in the current study, we aimed to create a versatile disease model to examine the pharmacokinetics of drug administration, determine the efficacy of treatment, and examine the process of intimal thickening. We also attempted to create an improved model with shorter, more frequent, and more severe intimal thickening. <b>Materials and Methods</b>  The common carotid artery of male Wistar rats was surgically exposed and completely ligated with a wire and 6-0 nylon thread. Then, the wire was removed to create a partial ligation. To create a high frequency and high degree of intimal thickening, 72 rats were divided into two groups: a single lesion group with a 0.25-mm wire and a single ligature point, and a tandem lesion group with a 0.3-mm wire and two ligature points. Each group was further divided into normal diet and high cholesterol diet groups. The presence and frequency of intimal thickening were examined for each group after 4, 8, and 16 weeks of growth. <b>Results</b>  In the single lesion group, intimal thickening was observed in 42% of the 4-week group and 75% of the 8-week group. In the tandem lesion group, intimal thickening was observed in 75% of the 4-week group and 50% of the 8-week group. In addition, 50% of the individuals reared for 16 weeks developed intimal thickening. <b>Conclusion</b>  We successfully induced intimal thickening in the carotid arteries of rats with high frequency in the single lesion and tandem lesion groups. The results also showed that the tandem lesion group tended to induce intimal thickening earlier than the single lesion group.</p>","PeriodicalId":45476,"journal":{"name":"NOTES AND QUERIES","volume":"1 1","pages":"499-507"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10749859/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82968588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, Modular Cloning as a novel cloning technique in synthetic biology has been developed. Modular Cloning relies on Golden Gate assembly and supports preparation of individual expression vectors in one-step and one-pot reactions, thus allowing rapid generation of vector libraries. A number of Modular Cloning toolkits for specific applications has been established, providing a collection of distinct genetic elements such as promoters, ribosome binding sites and tags, that can be combined individually in one-step using defined fusion sites. Modular Cloning has been successfully applied to generate various strains for producing value-added compounds. This was achieved by orchestrating complex pathways involving up to 20 enzymes. Due to the novelty of the genetic approach, industrial applications are still rare. In addition, some applications are limited due to the lack of high-throughput screening methods. This shifts the bottleneck from library preparation to screening capacity and needs to be addressed by future developments to pave the path for the establishment of Modular Cloning in industrial applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":45476,"journal":{"name":"NOTES AND QUERIES","volume":"12 1","pages":"437-441"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82888450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
