Creation of carbonate apatite particles with drug treatable bone reproduction ability for bone defects treatment
Authors: Komatsu Syuuhei
Published: February 2022

Although there are treatments available for bone defects and the associated diseases and ailments, there are problems associated with these treatments. However, artificial bone treatments are becoming increasingly advanced thanks to scientific and technological developments. Assistant
Professor Syuuhei Komatsu and Professor Akihiko Kikuchi are collaborating to design materials that can assist with improved drug treatment and bone generation. The researchers are based in Kikuchi's laboratory in the Faculty of Advanced Engineering, Tokyo University of Science, Japan, where
they are exploring how biomaterials can be used to improve the outcomes of patients with bone defects. The researchers have particular expertise in organic materials but given the importance of combining inorganic and organic materials in their work, they are collaborating with doctors and
other medical practitioners to develop solutions that can be quickly and effectively moved from bench to bedside. In recent work, the team is creating carbonate apatite particles with drug treatable bone reproduction ability. As part of this, the researchers are focused on inorganic hybrid
particles with the expectation that these types of materials can be injected directly into the bone defect site, representing a non-invasive treatment.

Building structured Knowledge Base for trustable NLP application systems by Resource by Collaborative Construction scheme
Authors: Sekine Satoshi
Published: February 2022

Wikipedia is an exhaustive resource that contains too much information for any one human to completely absorb. Computers, on the other hand, are able to trawl through information at a rapid pace. However, as Wikipedia is written in such a way that it is clear for people to read, it
is not possible for a machine to easily utilise and manipulate this information. Dr Satoshi Sekine is based within the Language Information Access Technology Team at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligent Project, Japan. He is the team leader of a project called SHINRA that is centred around
a Resource by Collaborative Contribution (RbCC) scheme and seeks to build a structured knowledge base that combines Wikipedia and an Extended Named Entity (ENE). The RbCC scheme enables the team to work together to construct a resource to advance the field of deep learning. ENE is a hierarchy
that is divided into name, time and numerical expressions and the team found that, generally speaking, any question on any specific matter fits within one of these three categories and means that information can potentially be understood by machines engaged in deep learning. The researchers
worked to assign appropriate concept class labels and then used references to existing online thesaurus entries and ontology sites to find information that matched the hierarchy. Ultimately, Sekine and the team want to build a structured Wikipedia and to do this categorisation, attribute extraction
and attribute value linking will need to be performed.
Promoting Resilience and Well-being Through Co-design (The PRIDE Project): Protocol for the Development and Preliminary Evaluation of a Prototype Resilience-Based Intervention for Sexual and Gender Minority Youth (Preprint)
Authors: Lucassen Mathijs F G , Samra Rajvinder , Rimes Katharine A , Brown Katherine E , Wallace Louise M
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND

Sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY) are at an increased risk of a range of mental health problems. However, few evidence-informed interventions have been developed specifically to support their mental well-being. Interventions that are evidence-informed for the general population and are fine-tuned specifically with SGMY in mind proffer considerable potential. A particular opportunity lies in the delivery of engaging interventions on the web, where the focus is on enhancing the coping skills and building the resilience of SGMY, in a way that is directly relevant to their experiences. On the basis of earlier work related to an intervention called Rainbow SPARX (Smart, Positive, Active, Realistic, X-factor thoughts), we seek to create a new resource, especially for SGMY in the United Kingdom.

OBJECTIVE

This project has 3 main objectives. First, together with SGMY as well as key adult experts, we aim to co-design a media-rich evidence-informed web-based SGMY well-being prototype toolkit aimed at those aged between 13 and 19 years. Second, we will explore how the web-based toolkit can be used within public health systems in the United Kingdom by SGMY and potentially other relevant stakeholders. Third, we aim to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the toolkit, which will inform the design of a future effectiveness study.

METHODS

The first objective will be met by conducting the following: approximately 10 interviews with SGMY and 15 interviews with adult experts, a scoping review of studies focused on psychosocial coping strategies for SGMY, and co-design workshops with approximately 20 SGMY, which will inform the creation of the prototype toolkit. The second objective will be met by carrying out interviews with approximately 5 selected adult experts and 10 SGMY to explore how the toolkit can be best used and to determine the parameters and user-generated standards for a future effectiveness trial. The final objective will be met with a small-scale process evaluation, using the think out loud methodology, conducted with approximately 10 SGMY.

RESULTS

The study commenced on September 1, 2021, and data gathering for phase 1 began in October 2021.

CONCLUSIONS

A considerable body of work has described the issues faced by the SGMY. However, there is a dearth of research seeking to develop interventions for SGMY so that they can thrive. This project aims to co-design such an intervention.

Authors: Çavaş Levent
Published: February 2022

Existence of Penicillus capitatus Lamarck 1813 has been known along the southern coastline of Turkey since 2010. On the other hand, no record of P. capitatus off the northern Aegean coastline of Turkey has so far been reported. The present paper reports the observation of P. capitatus in the coastline of Dikili, north of the Aegean shores of Turkey. In conclusion, it seems that the physicochemical parameters of the Aegean Sea are very suitable for P. capitatus and therefore, its observation in all locations of the Aegean Sea is most likely to be expected. Regular monitoring is recommended for this newly observed and habitat-forming species in the Turkish Coastline of the Aegean Sea.

Published: February 2022

Si la tesis dominante en el campo de los estudios de lo religioso en las décadas de los sesenta y setenta del siglo pasado fue la secularización, de los noventa a este momento la tesis progresivamente dominante es la del pluralismo religioso, presentada como su contraria. Desde luego, la secularización, tal como fue pronosticada en aquellas fechas, no se dio, pero tampoco la religión a nivel global sigue siendo la misma. Actualmente, a lo que asistimos es a un pluralismo religioso, es cierto, pero con cambios importantes en funciones sociales de la religión, que la teoría del pluralismo corre el riesgo de invisibilizar. El pluralismo religioso y los cambios operados en la religión de entonces para acá es el tema del presente trabajo.
Benefits and limitations of a new genome-based PCR-RFLP genotyping assay (GB-RFLP): a SNP-based detection method for identification of species in extremely young adaptive radiations
Authors: Kratochwil Claudius , Kautt Andreas , Rometsch Sina , Meyer Axel
Published: February 2022

High-throughput DNA sequencing technologies make it possible now to
sequence entire genomes relatively easily. Complete genomic information
obtained by whole genome resequencing (WGS) can aid in identifying and
delineating species even if they are extremely young, cryptic or
morphologically difficult to discern and closely related. Yet for
taxonomic or conservation biology purposes WGS can remain
cost-prohibitive, too time-consuming, and often constitute a “data
overkill”. Rapid and reliable identification of species (and
populations) that is also cost-effective is possible based on
species-specific markers that can be discovered by WGS. Based on WGS
data we designed a PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism
(PCR-RFLP) assay for 19 Neotropical Midas cichlid populations
(Amphilophus cf. citrinellus), that includes all 13 described species of
this species complex. Our work illustrates that identification of
species and populations (i.e., fish from different lakes) can be greatly
improved by designing genetic markers using available “high
resolution” genomic information. Yet, our work also shows that even in
the best-case scenario, when whole-genome resequencing information is
available, unequivocal assignments remain challenging when species or
populations diverged very recently, or gene flow persists. In summary,
we provide a comprehensive workflow on how to design RFPL markers based
on genome re-sequencing data, how to test and evaluate their
reliability, and discuss the benefits and pitfalls of our approach.

Authors: Mavi Kazım , Gündüz Kazim , Uzunoğlu Fulya , Karaat Fırat
Published: February 2022

Having wide range of genetic resources, Hatay is the largest sponge gourd
producer of province of Turkey. This study was conducted to determine the
status and morphological diversity of the livestock breeding with a field
survey in the districts of Hatay Province. As a result of the survey, 34
genotypes were collected that thought to be morphologically different. When
the distributions of genotypes were examined, the genotypes were selected
from Arsuz (5 genotypes), Defne (7 genotypes), Samanda? (1 genotypes),
Antakya (5 genotypes), D?rtyol (6 genotypes), Yaylada?? (4 genotypes),
Alt?n?z? (4 genotypes), Payas (1 genotypes) and Erzin (1 genotypes). Two
genotypes (?31 AN 03? and ?31 AL 04?) from which the seeds did not germinate
were extracted from the morphological characterization studies. Thirty-two
genotypes selected from Hatay with 3 genotypes obtained from Adana, South
Korea, and China in total of 35 genotypes were compared in terms of 49
different morphological characteristics. Variations between the genotypes
were not identified for the observations made on these 49 features regarding
cotyledon color, stem shape, tendrils, leaf margin, growth habit, sex type
and peduncle separation from fruit. As a result of analysis of basic
components and cluster analysis based on morphological characterization
features, genotypes were included in six different groups. However, the
effect of the districts on which genotypes were collected on this grouping
could not be determined.

Published: February 2022

This manuscript has come as a result of an efficient breeding program in
Serbian cattle populations for some economically important traits. Genomic
selection in the last two decades has been the main challenge in animal
breeding programs and genetics. Many SNP markers are used in statistical
analysis in predicting the accuracy of breeding values for young animals
without their performance. The new breeding tendency in the selection of
young animals allows their genetic progress with reducing cost. In this
study, 92 Holstein cows from various regions in Serbia were analyzed based
on SNP molecular markers. Within this investigation, an empirical model was
developed for the prediction of Yield Traits and Fertility Traits variables,
according to Key traits data for dairy cattle. The developed model gave a
reasonable fit to the data and successfully predicted Yield Traits (such as
Fat and Protein Percent, Cheese Merit, Fluid Merit, and Cow Livability) and
Fertility Traits variables (such as Sire Calving Ease, Heifer Conception
Rate, Cow Conception Rate, Daughter Stillbirth, Sire Stillbirth, and
Gestation Length). A total of 92 dairy cattle data were used to build a
prediction model for the prediction of Yield Traits and Fertility Traits
variables. The artificial neural network model, based on the Broyden-
Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno iterative algorithm, showed good prediction
capabilities (the r2 values during the training cycle for the before
mentioned output variables were in the range between 0.444 and 0.989).

investigate the SRAP (Sequence-related amplified polymorphism) markers in 13
wild pistachio accessions, which comprised three different species: Pistacia
khinjuk, Pistacia vera, and Pistacia atlantica. Through polymerase chain
reaction amplifications (PCR) of three Pistacia species, a total of 170
(Number of total loci) (NTL) DNA bands were obtained. Ten different
selective primers were combined to generate these bands. The number of
amplified pieces ranged from nine to twenty-six. The projected impartial
gene diversity (UHe) ranged from 0.053 (Pistacia khinjuk) to 0.417 (Pistacia
khinjuk) (Pistacia atlantica subsp. Kurdica). The genetic similarity of
three species is estimated to be between 0.61 to 0.90. Two significant
groupings emerged from the clustering findings: Pistacia khinjuk and
Pistacia atlantica subsp. Kurdica exhibited the least similarity in the SRAP
markers study. Our findings revealed excellent molecular recognition of all
genotypes tested, indicating that a significant amount of genetic variety
exists among pistachio accessions. This discovery might be useful in
breeding management techniques for genetic preservation and cultivar
improvement.

Published: February 2022

The aetiology of OSCC remains unclear, however, aberrant methylation of CpG
island promoters of tumor suppressor genes have been identified as
contributory developmental pathways in several cancers. The aim of this
study was to determine the presence of RUNX3 gene methylation and how its
association with patients? demographic variables such as gender, age,
histologic class and tumor location could be of diagnostic value for OSCC.
Sixty-seven formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) solid tissue blocks of
OSCC, and nine blocks of benign oral lesions of epithelial origin retrieved
from the archives of the Department of Oral Pathology, University College
Hospital, Ibadan, South-West Nigeria were used for the analyses. Frequency
of CpG island methylation in the promoter region of RUNX3 was determined by
methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP). Association between
gender, age, tumor location, histologic class and promoter methylation in
RUNX3 was assessed with Pearson?s ?2 test. Overall, 45% (30/67) of OSCC
demonstrated methylation in the RUNX3 promoter indicating a high frequency
of methylation of the CpG island promoter region of RUNX3. There was no
association between gender, age, histologic class and promoter methylation
in RUNX3 (P > 0.05), however a significant association was observed between
tumor location and promoter methylation of RUNX3 (P < 0.05). Aberrant
methylation of the CpG island promoter region of RUNX3 together with tumor
location could therefore be critical in the development and diagnosis of
OSCC.

Published: February 2022

In biology, biogeography, ecology, and conservation, species identification
is critical. Hesperis L. is a Brassicaceae (Cruciferae) genus of 46 species
found across the temperate northern hemisphere, from South and Central
Europe to Southwest Asia, Caucasia, and the mountainous portions of West
China and Mongolia. According to the latest therapies, Hesperis is expressed
in Iran by six species. Despite the fact that several Hesperis species are
widely distributed throughout Iran, nothing is known about their genetic
diversity, divergence techniques, or dispersion patterns. As a result, we
examined 122 accessions from six Hesperis species gathered from various
locations in Iran using genetic (ISSR markers) and morphological techniques.
A total of ten ISSR markers were employed in this study. The Nei's genetic
distance was used to measure genetic distances, and descriptive statistics
of folks were used to produce genetic parameters. There were a total of 118
polymorphic bands found. The study's aims are as follows: 1) Is it possible
to identify Hesperis species using ISSR markers? 2) In Iran, what is the
genetic make-up of these taxa? 3) How do interspecies relationships work?
According to the conclusions of this research, morphological and ISSR data
may be utilized to identify species. The Hesperis species are genetically
distinct yet share significant genes, according to the AMOVA and STRUCTURE
analyses.

Authors: Petrovic Bojana , Komnenic-Radovanovic Milica
Published: February 2022

Objects: This study was undertaken to investigate frequency and the type of
chromosomal aberrations which are causing primary amenorrhea in our
patients. Methods: The study subjects included 110 patients referred with
primary amenorrhea for cytogenetics investigation and counseling. Primary
amenorrhea was defined as the absence of menstruation and secondary sexual
characteristics in phenotypic women aged 14 years or older, or aged 16 years
or older if secondary sexual characteristics were present. Peripheral blood
samples were processed using standard techniques. All spacimens were
G-banded using tripsin-Giemsa. For each case, 22 metaphase spreads were
analyzed and when mosaicism was suspect 100 metaphases were examined.
Results: We have examined cytogenetically 110 patients with primary
amenorrhea. Chromosomal aberrations were detected in 21 cases (19,1%). Male
karyotype (46,XY) was found in seven cases, as well as monosomy X (45,X). In
three cases isochromosome X (46,XiXq) was detected. We found two cases of
mosaic karyotype 46,XX/45,X and X chromosome trisomy (47,XXX) and mosaic
karyotype 45,X/46,XiXq in one case each. Conclusion: Chromosome aberrations
are one of the main causes of primary amenorrhea. The search for genetic
component is the utmost importance for diagnosis, risk assessment and
genetic counseling.
Study of carotenoid content in durum wheat
Authors: Taneva Krasimira , Bozhanova Violeta , Todorovska Elena
Published: February 2022

The purpose of the study is to determine the variability and stability of
traits related to the amount of yellow pigments in the grain, semolina and
the finished pasta product. In addition the polymorphism in one of the
phytoene synthase gene on chromosome 7A related to carotenoids synthesis was
detected. In the investigation were included 10 durum wheat genotypes -
cultivars and breeding lines of different origin - Bulgaria - Field Crops
Institute - Chirpan and Dobroudja Agricultural Institute - General Toshevo,
Europe, CYMIT-Mexico. All genotypes were grown in field conditions in
competitive variety trials in three replications in harvesting years
2014/2016. The results obtained were processed statistically via basic
statistics (TIBCO statistica 13.3.0 software package). Great variability was
found between genotypes on the study traits. The breeding lines: M-431
(10.71 ppm in grain, 10.42 ppm in semolina and 8.96 ppm in pasta) and TD-97
(9.83 ppm in grain, 9.58 ppm in semolina and 8.52 ppm in pasta) and the
Bulgarian standard cultivar Predel (9.25 ppm in grain, 8.87 ppm in semolina
and 7.27 ppm in pasta) are characterized by the highest yellow pigment
content in grain, semolina and pasta. Both lines are also distinguished by
the lowest total pigment losses (2.6%) in milling grain to semolina and in
processing to pasta product (11 - 11.4 %), while line TD-97 has the lowest
total pigment losses (13.6%). Furthermore the genotypes characterized by the
highest yellow pigment content (M-431 and TD-97) have an acceptable
stability and can be used in the hybridization program to improve the color
potential of Bulgarian durum wheat varieties. The Psy-A1 codominant marker,
based on a 37 bp insertion at the 5' end of intron 2 of the PsyA1 gene
amplifies two fragments. The Psy-A1a allele with a 194 bp fragment in length
was observed in all 7 studied cultivars and lines of durum wheat. The 231-bp
Psy-A1b allele is found in 3 genotypes. The obtained results could not be
associated with phenotypic differences in the yellow pigment content in the
durum wheat genotypes studied.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most frequently diagnosed cancer
worldwide, with 1.1 million cases in 2018. KRAS and NRAS genes are some of
the most important molecular biomarkers of CRC. That is why, before starting
treatment with anti-epidermal growth factor therapy, patients with CRC are
tested for the mutation in those genes. The aim of this study was to
evaluate the frequency of NRAS gene mutations among patients with wild type
(wt) KRAS colorectal cancer in Southern-Eastern Serbia. Formalin-fixed
paraffin-embedded sample tissues of 55 CRC patients with wt KRAS were
investigated during the period from 2017 to 2019. Following DNA extraction,
the samples were analysed for common mutations of exons 2 (codons 12 and
13), 3 (codon 61), and 4 (codon 117 and 146) of the NRAS gene using two
diagnostic analyses: real-time PCR and NRAS StripAssay. Among these 55 cases
of colorectal cancer with wt KRAS, there were 3 (5.4%) cases with mutant
NRAS. One of these patients had mutations in codon 13 and the other two in
codon 61. No mutation in codon 12 was found. Moreover, two out of three
patients were men with CRC in the T3 stage of tumour infiltration and liver
metastases. The third one was a woman with CRC in the T3 stage of tumour
infiltration and lung metastases. Our results showed that the frequency of
NRAS mutation in CRC is low, which is similar to other studies covering
different geographic areas of the world.
