Applications and Research Advances in the Delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 Systems for the Treatment of Inherited Diseases

The rapid advancements in gene therapy have opened up new possibilities for treating genetic disorders, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy, thalassemia, cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, and familial hypercholesterolemia. The utilization of the clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) system has revolutionized the field of gene therapy by enabling precise targeting of genes. In recent years, CRISPR/Cas9 has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in treating cancer and genetic diseases. However, the susceptibility of nucleic acid drugs to degradation by nucleic acid endonucleases necessitates the development of functional vectors capable of protecting the nucleic acids from enzymatic degradation while ensuring safety and effectiveness. This review explores the biomedical potential of non-viral vector-based CRISPR/Cas9 systems for treating genetic diseases. Furthermore, it provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in viral and non-viral vector-based gene therapy for genetic disorders, including preclinical and clinical study insights. Additionally, the review analyzes the current limitations of these delivery systems and proposes avenues for developing novel nano-delivery platforms.

Analysis of High Performance Synchronous Rectified CLLC Resonant Converter With Reactive Power Optimization

Synchronous rectification (SR) and reactive power optimization are both effective methods to reduce losses of resonant converters. However, these two methods are difficult to implement simultaneously in CLLC resonant converters. To further reduce the overall loss of the CLLC resonant converter, this article proposes a comprehensive frequency-modulation and phase-shift optimization (CFMPSO) scheme to achieve SR and reactive power optimization simultaneously. First, a novel SR method based on a time-domain model and a simplified CLLC model is introduced. Depending on the proposed SR method, the CFMPSO scheme achieves SR through the outer phase shift. After realizing SR, the CFMPSO scheme reduces reactive power through the inner phase shift. In addition, the CFMPSO scheme maintains the soft-switching features of the CLLC resonant converter. Moreover, both zero voltage switching on the primary side and zero current switching on the secondary side can be achieved. Finally, a 1-kW experimental prototype was established to verify the effectiveness of the proposal.

Människans attityder till landskapsförändring

Landskapet ar och har alltid varit i standig forandring. Forandringar och byggnadsprojekt som andrar landskapet ar dock nagot som kan ge upphov till upprordhet och skapa konflikter mellan planerare och de som berors av de planerade projekten. Som blivande landskapsarkitekt har jag intresserat mig for hur kan man forklara uppkomsten av negativa attityder till landskapliga forandringar, samt hur denna skepticism ter sig vid vindkraftsplanering. Med en litteraturstudie som metod studerar jag inledningsvis begreppet landskap och forklaringar till vad landskapsforandringar innebar for manniskan. Den andra delen i uppsatsen beskriver begreppen Nimby- Not In My Back Yard och socialt dilemma for att se hur de forklarar negativa attityder till landskapliga forandringar. For att exemplifiera framstaller jag i nasta del motstand och misstro till vindkraftsplanering. Fem anledningar till varfor manniskor motsatter sig vindkraft beskrivs: forandrad och forstord landskapsbild, buller som orsakar irritation, storning av naturomraden, misstro till organisationen och kanslan av att inte kunna paverka. Som avslutande del foljer en diskussion for att sammanfatta, diskutera och bedoma resultatet av det som tas upp i uppsatsens teoretiska delar. Det visas att landskapsforandringar kan leda till upprordhet eftersom vi genom minnen och berattelser har fatt en personlig relation till landskapet. Negativa attityder till forandring beror enligt Nimby pa egenintresse och att manniskan trots allman acceptans till ett byggnadsprojekt kan motsatta sig en lokal etablering om det bidrar till nagot negativt pa det personliga planet, sa som minskad social status. Socialt dilemma beskriver dessutom manniskans benagenhet att valja det alternativ som gynnar henne sjalv framfor det som framjar kollektivet. Med exempel fran vindkraften kan man se att det aven finns andra aspekter som spelar in och att attityderna till fornyelsebar energi kan bli mer positiva efter en etablering an vad de var innan.
Color Naming Transitions

We explore the notion that variations in cone spectral sensitivities could cause variations in color-name boundaries between individuals. Fifteen observers made color matches to a test stimulus (580 nm) with three primary lights in a visual colorimeter. The same observers took part in two psychophysical experiments to determine the color-naming boundary between two focal colors (yellow and green). In one experiment observers used a slider bar to indicate the boundary; in the other they were presented with a color stimulus and asked to state whether it was yellow or green in a 2afc design. In the case of the 2afc experiment the results indicate some evidence to suggest a correlation in the position of the name boundary and the ratio of red and green lights used in visual color matches.
Broadside radiation antenna based on tightly coupled spoof surface plasmon polaritons

A spoof surface plasmon polariton (SSPP) is a hybrid mode of a surface wave in the air and electron oscillation within artificial electromagnetic (EM) media, with the dispersion curve lying below the light line, giving rise to many unique EM properties. In this paper, we investigate the EM properties of tightly coupled SSPP (TC-SSPP) modes and propose a slender broadside antenna based on the TC-SSPP. With the comb structure (CS), dispersion properties of different SSPP modes are firstly analyzed under plane wave illumination, and then we introduce a modified SSPP structure, the broadside-coupled (BC)-CS, to excite and guide TC-SSPP modes. Since TC-SSPP modes can be confined tightly around the slender BC-CS, EM waves can be manipulated within a much more compact space, which is favorable for miniaturization, compactness and the light weight of microwave devices. To demonstrate this, we propose a slender broadside radiation antenna based on the TC-SSPP, using a probe as the feed and a finite-length BC-CS as the radiator. Due to near-field magnetic coupling, the SSPP wave can be excited on the BC-CS. By varying the geometric parameters, the antenna can radiate in the broadside direction. A prototype was designed, fabricated and measured. Both the simulated and measured results verify our design.
Multidisciplinary Approach to the Diagnosis of Occult Primary Neuroendocrine Neoplasm: A Clinical Challenge

Approximately 11% to 14% of subjects with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) have metastatic lesions with unknown primary origin (UPO), with the majority of UPO-NENs found in the small bowel. Herein, we assessed the available literature on UPO-NENs, focusing on clinical presentation and diagnostic techniques to identify the primary site. The identification of the primary tumor is important as it affects the prognosis; however, the clinical presentation can be non-specific in non-functioning forms. In the presence of metastatic disease, the histological sample is fundamental to obtain immunohistochemical markers that might orientate the clinician in the search for the primary tumor through radiology, functional imaging and endoscopic techniques. In summary, multidisciplinary management plays a key role in UPO-NENs, even more than in other NENs. Molecular biology and gene-expression profiling represent areas of great interest which might be developed in the near future for both the diagnosis and the treatment of these neoplasms.
Triple Semi-Circular Canal Occlusion and Cochlear Implantation: A Treatment Option for Single-Sided Menière’s Disease with Functional Deafness—A Case Series

The surgical options for patients with single-sided Menière’s disease and functional deafness are challenging. Our case series reports the outcomes of surgical treatments of patients with single-sided Menière’s disease and functional deafness. These patients have undergone a one-staged occlusion of all semi-circular canals and cochlear implantation. Five patients (four female and one male; 62 ± 8.2 years with a range from 50 to 72 years) with single-sided Menière’s disease and functional deafness were included in this study. In all cases, the patients suffered from frequent rotational vertigo episodes for many years. Other treatment options (e.g., medication) had not yet been successful. Preoperatively, the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) of all patients indicated severe emotional, physical, and functional deficits. Patients showed a functional (near-total) deafness of the affected ear in all cases. All patients were supplied with cochlear implants in combination with a triple occlusion of all semi-circular canals in a one-stage procedure. After a short period of increased dizziness following surgery and after the activation of the cochlear implant and CI rehabilitation (auditory-verbal therapy), vertigo control and an adequate audiological outcome were achieved. The DHI showed a constant decrease after surgery. The combination of a triple semi-circular canal occlusion and cochlear implantation can be an efficient treatment for patients with single-sided Menière’s disease.

Modeling the Residuals of Financial Time Series with Missing Values for Risk Measures Using R

This paper is to fit an appropriate model on the returns of daily stock price and determine the appropriate model for the residuals in order to compute some risk measures. The daily stock price of First Bank Nigeria, Plc was collected from Nigerian Stock Exchange Market. The methods of weekly average, regression imputation and repetition were used in computing the missing values. Also, adopted was deleting days with missing values. The method of transformation was determined in each of the series and log transformation was adopted for the four series. In the model selection, the ARMA+GARCH model of the repetition had the minimum AIC as compared to other methods of dealing with missing values. The distribution of the residuals was found to be suitable to the Generalized Parato Distribution (GPD). The parameters of this distribution were used in computation of risk measures. The computed Value at Risk (VaR) has a value of 49438.79 and that of the Expected Shortfall (ES) as 49291.24 with position of 1,000,000. This is an indication that the risk of investing in the stock of the First Bank Nigeria, Plc is eminent.

Humidity and Temperature Effects on LaCoste & Romberg Gravimeters.

LaCoste & Romberg (LCR) gravimeters are able to record small non tidal gravity variations for periods ranging from some days to several months if one corrects the instrumental effects due to air temperature and humidity. An experiment has been carried out in five stations using the same gravimeter (the LCR G906) and the temperature effect was established for short and medium periods. At Membach (Belgium), the LCR G906 was installed next to the superconducting gravimeter C021 in very stable conditions of humidity and temperature and after removing a long term drift from the LCR G906 signal, the gravity variations recorded by both instruments agree at the microgal level. In order to reach a similar result with LCR gravimeters in stations where the temperature and humidity are not stable, some experiments were performed in the fundamental station of Brussels in the Royal Observatory of Belgium (ROB) using the LCR G8 to study the meteorological influences. This gravimeter showed a correlation with the humidity signal for periods longer than 10 days. To a humidity step of 35%, it reacted quasi-instantaneously by going steadily up by more than 1.5 milligal in three months and going down similarly while the humidity was returning to normal. We showed that the LCR G8 behaves like an integrator of air humidity changes. With this experiment, we partially met the result of Bastien et al (1990) and we significantly improved the understanding of the behaviour of LCR gravimeters on what concerns the humidity effect. As the reaction of each gravimeter is different, a similar experiment should be performed for each instrument.
Relationships between EFL teachers' perceptions of consequential validity of formative assessment and data-driven decision-making self-efficacy and anxiety

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to ascertain the relationship between EFL teachers' perception of the intended and unintended consequences of formative assessment (FA) decisions and their sense of self-efficacy and anxiety toward data-driven decision-making (DDDM). Design/methodology/approachA correlational research design and correlational/regression analysis was utilized to conduct this study. In addition, a thematic analysis was conducted of participants' responses to the open-ended questions.FindingsDescriptive statistics suggest that most EFL teachers perceived both intended and unintended consequential validity of their FA decisions with a moderate level of DDDM self-efficacy and a low level of anxiety. The results of the correlational analysis indicated a strong positive relationship indicating that those with higher teachers' perceptions of consequential validity of formative assessment (TPCVFA) scores tended to report higher DDDM efficacy. The results of the correlational analysis also indicated that a significant relationship did not exist between TPCVFA scores and DDDM anxiety. Finally, multiple regression analyses revealed that TPCVFA was a significant predictor of DDDM efficacy; however, TPCVFA was not a significant predictor of DDDM anxiety.Originality/valueData collected from 114 Iranian EFL teachers using the Data-Driven Decision-Making Efficacy and Anxiety Inventory (3D-MEA, Dunn et al. 2013a) and the TPCVFA questionnaire, which was self-developed and validated for the current study.
An overview of diffusion models for intracellular dynamics analysis

We present an overview of diffusion models commonly used for quantifying the dynamics of intracellular particles (e.g. biomolecules) inside eukaryotic living cells. It is established that inference on the modes of mobility of molecules is central in cell biology since it reflects interactions between structures and determines functions of biomolecules in the cell. In that context, Brownian motion is a key component in short distance transportation (e.g. connectivity for signal transduction). Another dynamical process that has been heavily studied in the past decade is the motor-mediated transport (e.g. dynein, kinesin and myosin) of molecules. Primarily supported by actin filament and microtubule network, it ensures spatial organization and temporal synchronization in the intracellular mechanisms and structures. Nevertheless, the complexity of internal structures and molecular processes in the living cell influence the molecular dynamics and prevent the systematic application of pure Brownian or directed motion modeling. On the one hand, cytoskeleton density will hinder the free displacement of the particle, a phenomenon called subdiffusion. On the other hand, the cytoskeleton elasticity combined with thermal bending can contribute a phenomenon called superdiffusion. This paper discusses the basics of diffusion modes observed in eukariotic cells, by introducing the essential properties of these processes. Applications of diffusion models include protein trafficking and transport and membrane diffusion.

Functions of Plant Phytochrome Signaling Pathways in Adaptation to Diverse Stresses

Phytochromes are receptors for red light (R)/far-red light (FR), which are not only involved in regulating the growth and development of plants but also in mediated resistance to various stresses. Studies have revealed that phytochrome signaling pathways play a crucial role in enabling plants to cope with abiotic stresses such as high/low temperatures, drought, high-intensity light, and salinity. Phytochromes and their components in light signaling pathways can also respond to biotic stresses caused by insect pests and microbial pathogens, thereby inducing plant resistance against them. Given that, this paper reviews recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of action of phytochromes in plant resistance to adversity and discusses the importance of modulating the genes involved in phytochrome signaling pathways to coordinate plant growth, development, and stress responses.
