Published: September 2024

Background
Ineffective erythropoiesis (IE) is the primary cause of anemia and associated pathologies in β-thalassemia. The characterization of IE is imbalance of erythroid proliferation and differentiation, resulting in increased erythroblast proliferation that fails to differentiate and gives rise to enucleate RBCs. MicroRNAs (miRs) are known to play important roles in hematopoiesis. miR-155 is a multifunctional molecule involved in both normal and pathological hematopoiesis, and its upregulation is observed in patients with β-thalassemia/HbE. However, the expression and function of miR-155, especially in β-thalassemia, have not yet been explored.

Methods
To study miR-155 expression in thalassemia, erythroblast subpopulations, CD45-CD71+Ter-119+ and CD45-CD71−Ter-119+ were collected from βIVSII-654 thalassemic bone marrow. Additionally, a two-phase culture of mouse bone marrow erythroid progenitor cells was performed. Expression of miR-155 and predicted mRNA target genes, c-myc, bach-1 and pu-1, were determined by quantitative reverse transcription (qRT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and normalized to small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) 202 and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), respectively. To investigate the effect of miR-155 expression, erythroblasts were transfected with miR-inhibitor and -mimic in order to elevate and eliminate miR-155 expression, respectively. Erythroid cell differentiation was evaluated by Wright–Giemsa staining and flow cytometry.

Results
miR-155 was upregulated, both in vivo and in vitro, during erythropoiesis in β-thalassemic mice. Our study revealed that gain- and loss of function of miR-155 were involved in erythroid proliferation and differentiation, and augmented proliferation and differentiation of thalassemic mouse erythroblasts may be associated with miR-155 upregulation. miR-155 upregulation in β-thalassemic mice significantly increased the percentage of basophilic and polychromatic erythroblasts. Conversely, a significant decrease in percentage of basophilic and polychromatic erythroblasts was observed in β-thalassemic mice transfected with anti-miR-155 inhibitor. We also examined the mRNA targets (c-myc, bach-1 and pu-1) of miR-155, which indicated that c-myc is a valid target gene of miR-155 that regulates erythroid differentiation.

Conclusion
miR-155 regulates IE in β-thalassemia via c-myc expression controlling erythroblast proliferation and differentiation.
Development and validation of a mitotic catastrophe-related genes prognostic model for breast cancer
Authors: Wang Shuai , Zi Haoyi , Li Mengxuan , Kong Jing , Fan Cong , Bai Yujie , Sun Jianing , Wang Ting 
Published: September 2024

Background
Breast cancer has become the most common malignant tumor in women worldwide. Mitotic catastrophe (MC) is a way of cell death that plays an important role in the development of tumors. However, the exact relationship between MC-related genes (MCRGs) and the development of breast cancer is still unclear, and further research is needed to elucidate this complexity.

Methods
Transcriptome data and clinical data of breast cancer were downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. We identified differential expression of MCRGs by comparing tumor tissue with normal tissue. Subsequently, we used COX regression analysis and LASSO regression analysis to construct the prognosis risk model of MCRGs. Kaplan–Meier survival curve and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to evaluate the predictive ability of prognostic model. Moreover, the clinical relevance, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), immune landscape, tumor mutation burden (TMB), and immunotherapy and drug sensitivity analysis between high-risk and low-risk groups were systematically investigated. Finally, we validated the expression levels of genes involved in constructing the prognostic model through real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) at the cellular and tissue levels.

Results
We identified 12 prognostic associated MCRGs, four of which were selected to construct prognostic model. The Kaplan-Meier analysis suggested that patients in the high-risk group had a shorter overall survival (OS). The Cox regression analysis and ROC analysis indicated that risk model had independent and excellent ability in predicting prognosis of breast cancer patients. Mechanistically, a remarkable difference was observed in clinical relevance, GSEA, immune landscape, TMB, immunotherapy response, and drug sensitivity analysis. RT-qPCR results showed that genes involved in constructing the prognostic model showed significant abnormal expressions and the expression change trends were consistent with the bioinformatics results.

Conclusions
We established a prognosis risk model based on four MCRGs that had the ability to predict clinical prognosis and immune landscape, proposing potential therapeutic targets for breast cancer.
Pilot development of diagnostic tools for lower limb apophyseal injuries in children and adolescents
Authors: Brooks Joseph , Caserta Antoni , Paterson Kade , Bowles Kelly-Ann , Haines Terry , Williams Cylie 
Published: September 2024

Introduction
Lower limb apophyseal injuries commonly occur in children and adolescents with unknown incidence and prevalence. These conditions are considered benign, but impact children and adolescents quality of life and can lead to sport withdrawal at a crucial time. The primary aim of this research was to develop self-administered tools for two of the most common apophyseal injuries. The secondary aim was to test the sensitivity and specificity of the tools.

Methods
Study 1 used a three round online Delphi panel (n = 8), with expert consensus supported by robust literature. This panel developed a self-administered screening tool for calcaneal (Sever’s disease) and tibial tuberosity (Osgood-Schlatter’s disease) apophysitis. Study 2 tested the sensitivity and specificity of these developed tools with parents and children (n = 63) with concurrent clinical examination by a health professional. An initial sample size for Study 2 was set at 155 children however this was impacted by COVID-19 and recruitment was halted.

Results
Both tools had excellent diagnostic accuracy with an area under the curve of 83% (95% confidence interval = 0.70 to 0.95) for the posterior heel (calcaneal apophysitis) tool and 93% (95% confidence interval = 0.80 to 1.00) for the anterior of knee (tibial tuberosity apophysitis) tool using the pilot data from the 63 children.

Conclusions
These tools may also enhance opportunities for clinicians and health service providers with pre-clinical screening to reduce wait list time and encourage low cost, self-administered management where indicated. These findings may enable large epidemiological studies to identify populations and calculate incidence and prevalence of these conditions using self report.
The nexus between geographical distance and institutional delivery trends in Ethiopia: evidence from nationwide surveys
Authors: Sebsibe Yemisrach Berhanu , Kebede Tayue Tateke 
Published: September 2024

Background
Giving birth in a healthcare facility with the guidance of skilled healthcare providers allows access to necessary medical interventions. Ethiopia has implemented several strategies to enhance institutional delivery and decrease maternal mortality; however, the rate of institutional delivery remains low. This study examines the role of distance to healthcare institutions on institutional delivery in Ethiopia, and how this has changed over time.

Method
This study used data from two rounds of the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (2011 and 2016), a spatial database detailing the locations of healthcare facilities, and Ethiopian road network data. The sample included 22,881 women who delivered within the 5 years preceding each survey and lived in 1,295 villages. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to investigate how the distance to health facilities and other potential determinants influenced institutional delivery trends.

Results
The rate of institutional deliveries in Ethiopia has increased from 10% in 2011 to 26% in 2016. Likewise, the average transportation distance to health facilities has decreased from 22.4 km in 2011 to 20.2 km in 2016 at the national level. Furthermore, a one-kilometer increase in the distance to the nearest health facility was associated with a 1% decrease in the likelihood of delivering at a health facility in 2016 (odds ratio (OR) = 0.99, 95% CI [0.98–0.99], p < 0.05). Additionally, mothers who are more educated, have completed more antenatal care visits, live in wealthier households in more urban areas, and cohabit with more educated husbands are more likely to deliver at healthcare facilities. These variables showed consistent relevance in both survey rounds, suggesting that key determinants remained largely unchanged throughout the study period.

Conclusion
The impact of distance from health facilities on institutional delivery in Ethiopia remains evident, although its influence is relatively modest. The other factors, including education, antenatal care, socioeconomic status, urban residence, and partner education, remained consistent between the two surveys. These determinants have consistently influenced institutional delivery, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive approach that addresses both access to and socioeconomic factors to improve maternal and infant health across the country.

A field experiment was conducted during summer season 2022 and 2023 to study the weed growth and productivity of greengram under different herbicidal treatments at agricultural research station, faculty of agricultural sciences, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India to study the effect of different weed control practices on weed growth and productivity of greengram. The experiment conducted under eight treatments viz., pendimethalin 0.75 kg ha-1 at 1 DAS, imazethapyr 75 g ha-1 at 20 DAS, pendimethalin+imazethapyr 0.75 kg ha-1 at 1 DAS, quizalofop ethyl 50 g ha-1 at 20 DAS, fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 50 g ha-1 at 20 DAS, acifluorfen Na 16.5%+clodinafoppropargyl 8% 245 g ha-1 at 20 DAS, two hand weeding at 15 and 30 DAS and weedy check, were replicated thrice in the randomized block design. The findings showed that two hand weeding at 15 and 30 DAS registered significantly lowest weed density and biomass among the weed control practices and it was at par with pre-emergence application of ready-mix pendimethalin+imazethapyr 0.75 kg ha-1. Weed competition resulted in 58.17% reduction in grain yield of greengram. Two hand weeding at 15 and 30 DAS recorded the highest seed and stover yield of greengram along with higher growth attributing characters like plant height, dry matter production and branches plant-1 and it was closely followed by application of ready-mix pendimethalin+imazethapyr at 0.75 kg ha-1 PE.

Published: September 2016

AbstractWe examine the role of the magnetosheath in solar wind‐magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling using the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms plasma and magnetic field observations in the magnetosheath together with OMNI solar wind data and auroral electrojet recordings from the International Monitor for Auroral Geomagnetic Effects (IMAGE) magnetometer chain. We demonstrate that the electric field and Poynting flux reaching the magnetopause are not linear functions of the electric field and Poynting flux observed in the solar wind: the electric field and Poynting flux at the magnetopause during higher driving conditions are lower than those predicted from a linear function. We also show that the Poynting flux normal to the magnetopause is linearly correlated with the directly driven part of the auroral electrojets in the ionosphere. This indicates that the energy entering the magnetosphere in the form of the Poynting flux is directly responsible for driving the electrojets. Furthermore, we argue that the polar cap potential saturation discussed in the literature is associated with the way solar wind plasma gets processed during the bow shock crossing and motion within the magnetosheath.
Failure characteristics of two porous sandstones subjected to true triaxial stresses
Authors: Ma Xiaodong , Haimson Bezalel C. 
Published: September 2016

AbstractWe conducted an extensive suite of true triaxial experiments in two porous sandstones, Bentheim (porosity ≈ 24%) and Coconino (17.5%). Our experiments demonstrate that failure of both sandstones is not only a function of σ3 but also of σ2. For a given σ3, σ1 at failure (σ1,peak) increases as σ2 is raised above σ3 between tests. The σ1,peak reaches a peak as σ2 is about halfway between σ3 and σ1 and then gradually decreases such that when σ2 ≈ σ1,peak, it approaches its initial magnitude when σ2 = σ3. For a constant σ3, failure‐plane angle increases with σ2 by a maximum of less than 10° as σ2 rises from σ2 = σ3 to σ2 = σ1,peak. The effect of σ2 on both failure level and failure‐plane angle is stronger in the lower‐porosity Coconino sandstone than in the Bentheim sandstone. The σ2 dependence of failure mode in the Bentheim is different than Coconino over the same σ3 range. Both sandstones failed dilatantly at low σ3 magnitudes. However, at high σ3 (100–120 MPa), Bentheim sandstone developed shear‐enhanced compaction bands, followed by pure compaction bands at σ3 = 150 MPa. Compaction bands were not observed in the Coconino. Microscopic observations via SEM reveal that tensile microcracking is dominant when shear banding occurs (under low σ3), while pervasive grain crushing and pore collapse inside compaction bands are observed at high σ3.
