Jesus Remembered in 1 Peter? Early Jesus Traditions, Isaiah 53, and 1 Pet 2.21-25
No full textThis is the accepted version of the chapter. Please cite the published version which is available via http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/james-1-2-peter-and-early-jesus-traditions-9780567420534.First presented as a paper at SBL, this chapter argues that 1 Pet 2.21-25 reflects knowledge of various traditions concerning Jesus' trial, suffering, and death, though the lack of specific verbal overlaps does not indicate literary dependence on the Synoptic Passion Narratives. Through the extensive use of Isa 53, the author in effect "scripturalizes" the Passion narrative in ways that would, of course, prove highly influential and significant

Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ

A new look at the pathogenesis of asthma
No full textAsthma is an inflammatory disorder of the conducting airways that has strong association with allergic sensitization. The disease is characterized by a polarized Th-2 (T-helper-2)-type T-cell response, but in general targeting this component of the disease with selective therapies has been disappointing and most therapy still relies on bronchodilators and corticosteroids rather than treating underlying disease mechanisms. With the disappointing outcomes of targeting individual Th-2 cytokines or manipulating T-cells, the time has come to re-evaluate the direction of research in this disease. A case is made that asthma has its origins in the airways themselves involving defective structural and functional behaviour of the epithelium in relation to environmental insults. Specifically, a defect in barrier function and an impaired innate immune response to viral infection may provide the substrate upon which allergic sensitization takes place. Once sensitized, the repeated allergen exposure will lead to disease persistence. These mechanisms could also be used to explain airway wall remodelling and the susceptibility of the asthmatic lung to exacerbations provoked by respiratory viruses, air pollution episodes and exposure to biologically active allergens. Variable activation of this epithelial-mesenchymal trophic unit could also lead to the emergence of different asthma phenotypes and a more targeted approach to the treatment of these. It also raises the possibility of developing treatments that increase the lung's resistance to the inhaled environment rather than concentrating all efforts on trying to suppress inflammation once it has become established.<br/
Melitaea zagrosi Toth & Varga 2011
No full text<p> <i>Melitaea zagrosi</i> Tóth & Varga, 2011</p> <p> [TL: Iran, between Kazeroun and Buschir (Konar Takhteh)], subjective junior synonym of <i>Melitaea enoch</i> Higgins, 1941 (<b>syn. nov.</b>). This taxon was distinguished from <i>M. ornata abbas</i> on the basis of genitalia and wing patterns by Tóth & Varga (2011). van Oorschot & Coutsis (2014: 64) discussed at great length the characters used to distinguish this taxon and considered that they were not sufficiently reliable as diagnostic characters, particularly in view of the fact that the Type Locality of <i>zagrosi</i> was in the midst of the distribution of <i>M. ornata abbas</i> in the Zagrosi Mountains (Tshikolovets <i>et al</i>. 2014: 320, map).Although Tshikolovets <i>et al</i>. (2014) sank <i>M. zagrosi</i> in synonymy with <i>M. ornata abbas</i>, they acknowledged that there is insufficient material to reach a conclusion regarding the status of the two taxa. The present authors’ only additional comment is that the elevation of the Type Localities of <i>M. ornata abbas</i> (2250 m) and the taxon <i>zagrosi</i> (500 m – Konartakhteh) are very different and environmental differences might account for the differences in wing morphology. Van Oorschot & Coutsis (2014) have already suggested that small differences in genitalia measurements could be accounted for by the coverslips compressing the genitalia on the slide. Recently Tóth <i>et al</i>. (2016), using a combination of morphometric measurements on the genitalia and DNA, elevated the taxon <i>abbas</i> to species level and synonymised the taxon <i>zagrosi</i> with it, in contrast to their previous conclusions, which elevated <i>zagrosi</i> to species level separating it from <i>M. ornata abbas</i> (Tóth & Varga 2011), with further research by Tóth <i>et al</i>. (2014) confirming this conclusion. However, their current thinking (Tóth <i>et al</i>. 2016), appeared to be that <i>M. abbas</i> is a species distinct from <i>M. phoebe</i>, <i>M. ornata</i> and <i>M. telona</i> and that the taxon <i>zagrosi</i> is a subspecies of <i>M. abbas</i>. We place <i>zagrosi</i> as a junior subjective synonym of <i>M. enoch</i>.</p>Published as part of <i>Russell, Peter J. C., Lukhtanov, Vladimir A. & Tennent, W.

Illustration and verse work together nicely to raise perception and question. Es war einmal ein Augenblick, der entwischte,/gerade, as ich nach ihm fischte!

They came from the same piece of leather; they went the same ways; they grew old together; they ended up together on a shelf. Still many people remember that that was once a good pair of shoes.

Analysis of the transcriptional program of developing induced regulatory T cells.
No full textCD25+ regulatory T cells develop in the thymus (nTregs), but may also be generated in the periphery upon stimulation of naive CD4 T cells under appropriate conditions (iTregs). To gain insight into the mechanisms governing iTreg development, we performed longitudinal transcriptional profiling of CD25+ T cells during their differentiation from uncommitted naive CD4 T cells. Microarray analysis of mRNA from CD25+ iTregs early after stimulation revealed expression of genes involved in cell cycle progression and T cell activation, which largely overlapped with genes expressed in CD25+ effector T cells (Teffs) used as a control. Whereas expression of these genes remained elevated in Teffs, it declined gradually in developing iTregs, resulting in a more quiescent phenotype in mature iTregs. A similar pattern of kinetics was observed for biological processes and for intracellular pathways over-represented within the expressed genes. A maximum dichotomy of transcriptional activity between iTregs and Teffs was reached at late stages of their maturation. Of interest, members of the FoxO and FoxM1 transcription factor family pathways exhibited a reciprocal expression pattern in iTregs and Teffs, suggesting a role of these transcription factors in determining T cell fate
