Circulating lactate is a fuel source for liver metabolism but may exacerbate metabolic diseases such as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Indeed, haploinsufficiency of lactate transporter monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) in mice reportedly promotes resistance to hepatic steatosis and inflammation. Here, we used adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors to deliver thyroxin binding globulin (TBG)-Cre or lecithin-retinol acyltransferase (Lrat)-Cre to MCT1fl/fl mice on a choline-deficient, high-fat NASH diet to deplete hepatocyte or stellate cell MCT1, respectively. Stellate cell MCT1KO (AAV-Lrat-Cre) attenuated liver type 1 collagen protein expression and caused a downward trend in trichrome staining. MCT1 depletion in cultured human LX2 stellate cells also diminished collagen 1 protein expression. Tetra-ethylenglycol-cholesterol (Chol)-conjugated siRNAs, which enter all hepatic cell types, and hepatocyte-selective tri-N-acetyl galactosamine (GN)-conjugated siRNAs were then used to evaluate MCT1 function in a genetically obese NASH mouse model. MCT1 silencing by Chol-siRNA decreased liver collagen 1 levels, while hepatocyte-selective MCT1 depletion by AAV-TBG-Cre or by GN-siRNA unexpectedly increased collagen 1 and total fibrosis without effect on triglyceride accumulation. These findings demonstrate that stellate cell lactate transporter MCT1 significantly contributes to liver fibrosis through increased collagen 1 protein expression in vitro and in vivo, while hepatocyte MCT1 appears not to be an attractive therapeutic target for NASH.

Currently, the identification of patient-specific therapies in cancer is mainly informed by personalized genomic analysis. In the setting of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), patient-drug treatment matching fails in a subset of patients harboring atypical internal tandem duplications (ITDs) in the tyrosine kinase domain of the FLT3 gene. To address this unmet medical need, here we develop a systems-based strategy that integrates multiparametric analysis of crucial signaling pathways, and patient-specific genomic and transcriptomic data with a prior knowledge signaling network using a Boolean-based formalism. By this approach, we derive personalized predictive models describing the signaling landscape of AML FLT3-ITD positive cell lines and patients. These models enable us to derive mechanistic insight into drug resistance mechanisms and suggest novel opportunities for combinatorial treatments. Interestingly, our analysis reveals that the JNK kinase pathway plays a crucial role in the tyrosine kinase inhibitor response of FLT3-ITD cells through cell cycle regulation. Finally, our work shows that patient-specific logic models have the potential to inform precision medicine approaches.
Dynamic localization of the chromosomal passenger complex in trypanosomes is controlled by the orphan kinesins KIN-A and KIN-B
Authors: Ballmer Daniel , Akiyoshi Bungo
Published: April 2024

The chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) is an important regulator of cell division, which shows dynamic subcellular localization throughout mitosis, including kinetochores and the spindle midzone. In traditional model eukaryotes such as yeasts and humans, the CPC consists of the catalytic subunit Aurora B kinase, its activator INCENP, and the localization module proteins Borealin and Survivin. Intriguingly, Aurora B and INCENP as well as their localization pattern are conserved in kinetoplastids, an evolutionarily divergent group of eukaryotes that possess unique kinetochore proteins and lack homologs of Borealin or Survivin. It is not understood how the kinetoplastid CPC assembles nor how it is targeted to its subcellular destinations during the cell cycle. Here, we identify two orphan kinesins, KIN-A and KIN-B, as bona fide CPC proteins in Trypanosoma brucei, the kinetoplastid parasite that causes African sleeping sickness. KIN-A and KIN-B form a scaffold for the assembly of the remaining CPC subunits. We show that the C-terminal unstructured tail of KIN-A interacts with the KKT8 complex at kinetochores, while its N-terminal motor domain promotes CPC translocation to spindle microtubules. Thus, the KIN-A:KIN-B complex constitutes a unique ‘two-in-one’ CPC localization module, which directs the CPC to kinetochores from S phase until metaphase and to the central spindle in anaphase. Our findings highlight the evolutionary diversity of CPC proteins and raise the possibility that kinesins may have served as the original transport vehicles for Aurora kinases in early eukaryotes.

An Update on 3D-printed Orthodontic Aligners
Authors: Vas Nazleen Valerie , Jain Ravindra Kumar
Published: April 2024

Clear Aligner Treatment (CAT) is an orthodontic technique used to align teeth with removable and scarcely visible appliances. Conventionally, these are produced through the process of thermoforming. The inherent disadvantages of thermoforming include increased surface roughness leading to plaque accumulation, compromised biomechanics due to a reduction in force delivered and flexure of the aligner, and altered mechanical properties, such as increased opacity, water sorption, and hardness. Direct Three-dimensional (3D)-printed aligners, or Direct Printed Aligners (DPA), introduce a new frontier to aligner technology and are a recent addition to the ever-improving field of orthodontics. Through 3D printing, the various disadvantages of thermoformed aligners like surface roughness, extent and definition of aligner borders, undercuts, and differential thickness of the aligner can be controlled to enhance the accuracy of aligner fit with lesser reliance on attachments. 3D printing of aligners is more environmentally friendly since there is no subtractive process for thermoforming or post-processing of the TA. Various methods of 3D printing, such as selective laser melting, selective laser sintering, Stereolithography (SLA), and Digital Light Processing (DLP), can be applied to the printing of clear aligners. Challenges in printing primarily involve maintaining transparency and designing support during the printing process. The present review aimed to include a detailed description of all aspects of direct 3D-printed aligners.

A company needs a leader who can make a good impact on its employees and who will later influence their performance. Sharing information and innovative work behavior within a company will also affect performance within the company. In this analysis, two exogenous variables are used: Transformational Leadership and Information Sharing, and the endogenous variables of employee performance and innovative work behavior as intervening variables. The data collected from this study is as many as 150 respondents and was obtained from 7 start-up companies located in Yogyakarta. The sampling technique in this study uses purposive samplings. The data analysis technique in this analysis uses Structural Equation Modelling with the help of SmartPLS-3. The results of this study show that the entire hypothesis submitted is accepted. Innovative work behavior has a mediating role for Transformational Leadership and Information Sharing. This suggests that fostering transformational leadership qualities and promoting a culture of information sharing can lead to improved employee performance through enhanced innovative work behavior. Such findings have significant implications for organizations aiming to enhance their performance through leadership and communication strategies.

Incubators in Neonatal Medicine
Authors: Bittmann Stefan , Luchter Elisabeth , Moschüring-Alieva Elena
Published: April 2024

The incubator for children to improve the survival chances of premature and immature newborns was developed in France as early as 1857. The first device in the United States was built by William Champion Deming at the State Emigrant Hospital on Ward's Island, New York. The first baby placed in it was Edith Eleanor McLean, who weighed 1106 grams at birth on September 7, 1888. The device was heated by 57 liters of water. Precursors to these devices, which mimic the consistent temperature in the womb, were the Ruehl cradle in Moscow in 1835 and the "warm bath" introduced by Credé in Leipzig in 1864. The technology of that time is incomparable to the technology of today's incubators and microbiological incubators.
Interference of Heterophilic Antibody in D-dimer Determination in an Asymptomatic Elderly Woman
Authors: Sara Valverde , Elena Masiero , Mara Seguso , Martina Giordano , Margherita Inglese , Gianluca Gessoni
Published: April 2024

Background: D-Dimer is considered a pivotal biomarker in diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation and in differential diagnosis of thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
Case Summary: BL, Caucasian woman, 81 years old, was admitted to hospital, in October 2023, for concussive head trauma after an accidental fall. The patient had a "non-assayable D-Dimer due to excess antigen" utilizing Sysmex Innovance D-dimer using a Sysmex CS 5100 analyser. This abnormal result was firstly observed in March 2022. A second Laboratory confirmed the raised D-dimer concentration. The patient had undergone periodic D-dimer checks which had always confirmed the results and had been treated with a direct FXa inhibitor.
Methods:  Patient’s samples were tested for D-dimer using different assays and different analysers, moreover sample diluted in phosphate buffer and heterophilic antibodies blocking reagent have been tested.
Results: The Sysmex Innovance D-dimer assay gave us, constantly “non-assayable D-dimer due to excess antigen" results; the HemosIL D-dimer HS assay gave us, constantly a raised D-dimer concentration (four to five higher than upper reference values); the Quidel Triage D-dimer gave us, constantly  D-dimer normal concentration. Results obtained from dilution curves confirmed the presence of high concentration high avidity  heterophilic antibodies.
Conclusions: Reports regarding the influence of heterophilic antibodies on the measurement of D‐dimer are quite uncommon in literature however, they constitute a significant potential risk. Interference from heterophile antibodies often has a different impact using different instruments and methods in the measurement of D‐dimer. Using a combination of different assays and analysers, of dilution strategy with heterophilic antibody blockers, and combining laboratory results with clinical examinations and imaging data, we were able to identify the interference and exclude the presence of thrombosis.

Published: April 2024

Forty five single cross hybrids made from 10 inbred lines of maize through diallel mating design were evaluated for three seasons viz. rabi, summer and kharif from 2016-17 to 2017-18.Kernel yield had consistent significant and positive associations with SPAD meter readings, specific leaf area, cob length, cob girth, number of kernel rows cob-1,number of kernels row-1,100 kernel weight and harvest index in rabi, summer and kharif seasons. Similar trend of positive and significant association of kernel yield with all the above characters were recorded at genotypic level indicating existence a close relationship among these characters. Days to 50% tasseling, days to 50% silking, days to maturity and specific leaf weight showed consistent negative and significant correlations with kernel yield both at phenotypic and genotypic level indicating yield penalty with increase in days to 50% tasselling, days to 50% silking and specific leaf weight because more of vegetative growth and less time for reproductive growth which consequently  lead to less kernel yield. The associations of anthesis-silking interval with kernel yield were consistently negative and non-significant in all the three seasons at phenotypic level revealing that narrow interval of anthesis silking interval facilates good seed setting. Plant height showed either negative and significant or negative but non-significant association with kernel yield across seasons suggesting that any increase in plant height  may lead to reduction in kernel yield  and thus  medium plant  height is desirable for recording higher kernel yields in Maize.  Based on the results of character association analysis it was concluded that SPAD chlorophyll meter readings, specific leaf area, cob length, cob girth, number of kernel rows cob-1, number of kernels row-1, 100 kernel weight and harvest index might be given due importance, while formulating selection indices aimed at kernel yield improvement as these characters had showed consistently positive and significant associations with kernel yield. A plant  with medium plant height and duration coupled with higher SPAD meter readings, specific leaf area, cob length, cob girth, number of kernel rows cob-1,number of kernels row-1,100 kernel weight and harvest index is desirable for getting higher kernel yield in maize.

Published: January 2008

Although a relatively small number of previous studies suggest a modest response to hydroxyurea (HU) therapy in β‐thalassemia, more recent investigations have revealed that some transfusion‐dependent patients can become transfusion‐independent following HU therapy. Patients with Gγ XmnI polymorphism, several β‐globin mutations, and α‐thalassemia deletions were inconsistently reported to have significant responses to HU therapy. To better predict who may respond, we retrospectively evaluated the clinical response and the molecular background of 18 β‐thalassemia patients treated with HU for a mean of 46 months. The majority of transfusion‐dependent patients responded to HU therapy with 9 out of 11 (82%) becoming transfusion‐independent. Five thalassemia intermedia (TI) patients receiving occasional blood transfusion did not require any additional transfusions following therapy and two TI patients who had never received transfusions had a 2 g/dl increase in their hemoglobin level. The majority of β‐thalassemia major patients who became transfusion‐independent (7/9) were either homozygous (5) or heterozygous (2) for the XmnI polymorphism. No correlation was identified between response to therapy and the presence of specific β‐thalassemia mutations or α‐globin deletions. We conclude that further analysis of the degree of response of transfusion‐dependent β‐thalassemia patients to HU therapy, as well as, the impact of their genetic background on this response is required to identify patients likely to have significant response.

Effect of α‐ and β‐nucleating agents on the fracture behavior of polypropylene‐co‐ethylene
Authors: Wang Shi‐Wei , Yang Wei , Gong Guan , Xie Bang‐Hu , Liu Zheng‐Ying , Yang Ming‐Bo
Published: January 2008

The effect of α‐ and β‐nucleating agents (NA) of various amounts on the fracture behavior of polypropylene‐co‐ethylene (CPP) was evaluated using the essential work of fracture (EWF) method. The specific EWF values of CPPs incorporated with α‐NA of different amount were all lower than that of pure CPP, while the specific nonessential work of fracture was the highest at relative low α‐NA loading (0.1 wt %), and then decreased with further increasing amount of α‐NA. Similar trend of variation was observed with increasing amount of β‐NA in CPP, and it was found that the variation of Kβ for β‐NA nucleated CPP versus NA content accorded well with the EWF versus NA content, which indicated that the addition of β‐NA could lead to effectively increased β‐crystal content and consequently improved fracture resistance of CPP. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Studies on the cure kinetics of chitosan‐glutamic acid using glutaraldehyde as crosslinker through differential scanning calorimeter
Authors: Kumari Kamlesh , Raina K. K. , Kundu P. P.
Published: January 2008

The curing of chitosan‐glutamic acid with glutaraldehyde as curing agent in the presence of chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM) is carried out with the help of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The effect of concentration of chitosan and percentage of crosslinker on the curing of chitosan‐glutamic acid is studied at a heating rate of 5°C/min. Cure kinetics are measured by the DSC using scans from 25 to 220°C at four different heating rates (3, 5, 7, and 10°C/min) and it is observed that the crosslinking of chitosan‐glutamic acid is an exothermic process which results in a positive peak in the DSC thermograms. The activation energy (Eα) is determined by Flynn, Wall, and Ozawa method for curing of the samples. An increase in activation energy (Eα) is observed with the extent of conversion. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
Linear Uranium Complexes X2UL5 with L=Cyanide, Isocyanate: DFT Evidence for Similarities between Uranyl (X=O) and Uranocene (X=Cp) Derivatives
Authors: Iché‐Tarrat Nathalie , Barros Noémi , Marsden Colin J. , Maron Laurent
Published: January 2008

A DFT study of the isostructural compounds [UO2L5]n− with n=3–5 and linear [Cp2UL5]m− with m=1–3 has been carried out for two different anionic ligands. Structurally stable structures are obtained for all systems. The coordination competition between cyanide (CN−) and isocyanide (NC−) as well as between cyanate (OCN−) and isocyanate (NCO−) has been studied in the uranyl case. A clear preference for cyanide and isocyanate complexes is reported. The coordination of five ligands in the equatorial plane is rationalised by the analysis of the MO diagram of both systems. Moreover, the qualitative comparison of the two MO diagrams shows a high similarity in agreement with the isolobality concept. The existence of linear [Cp2UL5]− organometallic U(VI) complexes is thus proposed, as well as the possibility of obtaining complexes of both types for U(VI) and U(V) with OCN− ligands. In addition, the U(IV) linear metallocene is calculated to be stable for the latter ligand.
