RESUMO
Palliative care (PC) clinicians are well poised to help people with disabilities (PWD) live well in the context of serious illness. PC prioritizes person-centered care with a focus on function, autonomy, and quality of life. This approach aligns with principles of high-quality care for PWD. An understanding of the unique experiences and needs of PWD can advance the delivery of comprehensive, equitable PC for this population. In this article, we provide 10 tips to help PC clinicians develop an informed disability lens in their approach to care.
RESUMO
To understand the biochemical response of RANKL in response to mechanical loading, MC3T3-E1 cells were biequiaxially stretched. A murine RANKL cDNA with double epitopes, pEF6 HA-RANKL-V5His, was transfected into MC3T3-E1 cells, which were then stretched. Endogenous RANKL protein expression increased in response to mechanical loading. Membrane-bound RANKL (HA-RANKL-V5His) increased in cell lysates while soluble RANKL (RANKL-V5His) decreased in the conditioned media after mechanical loading. This may have resulted from the decreased activity of TACE after mechanical loading. Increased membrane-bound RANKL may be one of the mechanisms through which osteoblasts adapt to mechanical loading by regulating osteoclastogenic activity in a region-specific manner.
