The phrase "affect destruction" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be intended to describe the impact or influence on destruction, but the wording is awkward and unclear.
Example: "The policies implemented by the government can significantly affect destruction in the environment."
Alternatives: "impact destruction" or "influence destruction".
The chapter also includes discussions on: population density and changes through time; time of the earthquake and death ratio; extreme climate conditions; difficult mountainous terrains; nomads in tents; and alarming foreshocks, which affect the destruction, damage, death toll, and economic losses.
Figure 5 shows that, although the secretion of NO in the co-culture supernatants was decreased by aminoguanidine, the inhibitor did not affect amastigote destruction (Figure 5).
Our data stress the significance of inheritable factors that affect joint destruction downstream of the inflammatory cascade.
In turn, the number of cells can be influenced by chemicals which affect production, destruction or distribution within the blood.
Because OA is a disease that involves all joint tissues, including cartilage, synovium and subchondral bone, the synovial inflammation may affect cartilage destruction; hence, the inhibitory effects of the NAMPT inhibitor FK866 on synovitis may contribute to the observed effects on cartilage destruction.
BBB permeability has been well documented to be increased by MMPs, which control cell migration across the BBB by disrupting the subendothelial basement membrane and other components of the extracellular matrix and eventually affecting tissue destruction in MS [4], [29].
Thus, it is as yet unclear whether OPG affects cartilage destruction and synovial inflammation to a relevant degree, whereas the effect on bone is unequivocally proven.
This leads to pain, collapse of the affected bone, destruction of the contiguous joint (osteoarthritis, or OA), and significant functional disability.
For example, food yield will be affected by destruction of crops during extreme events, soil erosion, and salinity from flooding, poor crop harvests during drought, and contamination of groundwater owing to sea-level rise and brackish water (4, 22).
