description:
INTRODUCTION: The aims of this observational study were to determine if endodontists' practices in early 2021 experienced changes in patient characteristics compared with a comparable prepandemic period and to determine whether the changes reported during the initial outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in 2020 were reversed 1 year later. METHODS: Demographic, diagnostic, and procedural data of 2657 patient visits from 2 endodontist private offices from March 16 to May 31 in 2019, 2020, and 2021 were included. Bivariate analyses and multiple logistic regression models were used to examine the impact of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on patient data. RESULTS: Bivariate analyses showed that patients' self-reported pain levels and the number of visits with irreversible pulpitis in 2021 were higher than 2019 (P < .05). Patients' self-reported pain, percussion pain, and palpation pain levels in 2021 were less than 2020 (P < .05). Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that endodontists' practices in 2021 had an increase in the number of nonsurgical root canal treatments (odds ratio [OR] = 1.482; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.102-1.992), and apicoectomies (OR = 2.662; 95% CI, 1.416-5.004) compared with 2019. Compared with the initial outbreak in 2020, endodontists' practices in 2021 had visits with older patients (OR = 1.288; 95% CI, 1.045-1.588), less females (OR = 0.781; 95% CI, 0.635-.960), more molars (OR = 1.389; 95% CI, 1.065-1.811), and less pain on percussion (OR = 0.438; 95% CI, 0.339-0.566). CONCLUSIONS: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic was associated with an increase in the number of nonsurgical root canal treatments. Some of the changes observed during the initial outbreak in 2020, including objective pain parameters, returned to normal levels 1 year later.

description: Objective: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a serious health concern in the adolescent population. Repeated mTBI may result in more pronounced deficits, and has been associated with long-term neurological consequences including neurodegeneration. As such, there is a critical need for the development of objective mTBI biomarkers to help guide medical management. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is an advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that may detect brain abnormalities after mTBI. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is the most commonly applied DWI method, and initial studies have reported DTI changes in mTBI patients. Furthermore, new DWI methods (e.g., track-weighted imaging; TWI) are being developed that may also be sensitive to mTBIs, but remain to be comprehensively studied. Methods: This study utilized the Awake Closed Head Injury (ACHI) model of mTBI to investigate changes in DTI and TWI following repeated mTBI in adolescent male and female rats. A total of four ACHI impacts, two/day over two consecutive days, were delivered beginning on postnatal day 25. At 1 day and 7 days postinjury, rats were euthanized and brains were collected for DWI analyses. Results: Rats given repeated mTBI displayed changes in fractional anisotropy and radial diffusivity (i.e., DTI measures), as well as track density (i.e., TWI). Interpretation: These findings are consistent with initial DTI findings in mTBI patients, suggest that TWI may complement DTI, support the utility of DWI measures as biomarkers in mTBI, and further validate the ACHI rat model of mTBI.

description: Cet article explore le rôle de l'entrepreneuriat social, en particulier sous forme de coopératives, dans l'émancipation des femmes marginalisées au Maroc, avec un focus sur la région Marrakech-Safi. L'étude s'appuie sur une approche qualitative, en réalisant des entretiens semi-directifs avec des membres de trois coopératives féminines situées dans la province d'Al Haouz. Les résultats montrent que ces coopératives ont significativement contribué à l'indépendance économique des femmes, à leur autonomie décisionnelle, à leur pouvoir social, ainsi qu'à leur développement personnel. De plus, elles ont permis la préservation du patrimoine culinaire local tout en favorisant l'innovation. L'article conclut que l'entrepreneuriat social coopératif constitue un outil efficace pour réduire les inégalités de genre et promouvoir une croissance économique inclusive dans les zones rurales du Maroc. Les limites de l'étude incluent la taille restreinte de l'échantillon et la portée géographique limitée, suggérant la nécessité de recherches plus larges et quantitatives pour valider ces conclusions.

description: The discovery that extracellular vesicles (EVs) can transfer functional extracellular RNAs (exRNAs) between cells opened new avenues into the study of EVs in health and disease. Growing interest in EV RNAs and other forms of exRNA has given rise to research programmes including but not limited to the Extracellular RNA Communication Consortium (ERCC) of the US National Institutes of Health. In 2017, the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) administered a survey focusing on EVs and exRNA to canvass-related views and perceived needs of the EV research community. Here, we report the results of this survey. Overall, respondents emphasized opportunities for technical developments, unraveling of molecular mechanisms and standardization of methodologies to increase understanding of the important roles of exRNAs in the broader context of EV science. In conclusion, although exRNA biology is a relatively recent emphasis in the EV field, it has driven considerable interest and resource commitment. The ISEV community looks forward to continuing developments in the science of exRNA and EVs, but without excluding other important molecular constituents of EVs.

Year: 2022

description:
Purpose of Review Applying text mining to suicide research holds a great deal of promise. In this manuscript, literature from 2019 to 2021 is critically reviewed for text mining projects that use electronic health records, social media data, and death records. Recent Findings Text mining has helped identify risk factors for suicide in general and specific populations (e.g., older adults), has been combined with structured variables in EHRs to predict suicide risk, and has been used to track trends in social media suicidal discourse following population level events (e.g., COVID-19, celebrity suicides). Summary Future research should utilize text mining along with data linkage methods to capture more complete information on risk factors and outcomes across data sources (e.g., combining death records and EHRs), evaluate effectiveness of NLP-based intervention programs that use suicide risk prediction, establish standards for reporting accuracy of text mining programs to enable comparison across studies, and incorporate implementation science to understand feasibility, acceptability, and technical considerations.

description: Background: Although isolated posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLR) has become a more frequently performed procedure, reports of functional outcomes and return-to-sport (RTS) rates to support its use are still limited. Purpose: To systematically review the literature to determine the rates of RTS and the functional outcomes of patients after isolated PCLR. Study Design: Systematic review: Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Two reviewers independently searched 5 databases for patient-based clinical studies with a minimum 2-year follow-up that analyzed functional outcome and RTS following isolated PCLR. Studies with multiligament knee reconstruction were excluded. Risk of bias was performed with a modified Downs and Black checklist. The primary outcomes were Tegner and Lysholm scores, rates of RTS, and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective scores. Secondary outcomes were IKDC objective scores, instrumented knee laxity assessment, and Telos radiographic analysis. Where feasible, these data were pooled via a random effects meta-analysis model. Results: Of the 240 titles identified, 14 studies were included. The median time from injury to surgery was 10.6 months (range, 6 weeks–21 years). The pooled mean postoperative Tegner and Lysholm scores were 5.7 (95% CI, 5.4-6.0) and 87.8 (95% CI, 85.6-90.0), respectively, following isolated PCLR; the pooled effect size between pre- and postoperative values was 2.8 (95% CI, 1.6-4.0) and 3.7 (95% CI, 2.6-4.9), respectively. An RTS rate of 44% (95% CI, 23%-66%) was identified. IKDC subjective scores improved to a pooled mean of 73.5 (95% CI, 62.8-84.1), with an effect size of 3.0 (95% CI, 0.4-5.6). The proportion of patients with postoperative IKDC objective scores of grade A/B was 82%. The pooled postoperative KT-1000/KT-2000 side-to-side difference was 3.4 mm (95% CI, 2.5-4.3 mm), with an effect size of 2.8 (95% CI, 1.1-4.5). The pooled postoperative Telos side-to-side difference measurement was 3.5 mm (95% CI, 2.8-4.3 mm), with an effect size of 3.9 (95% CI, 3.3-4.5). Conclusion: The results of this review demonstrate that while isolated PCLR results in a significant improvement in functional outcome scores and improved knee laxity, there is a low rate of return to preinjury level of sport. The prolonged period from injury to surgery might reduce functional improvement and RTS following reconstruction. Therefore, comparison of the outcomes of isolated PCLR and nonoperative treatment is impracticable owing to the potential for selection bias.

description: Top-down sequencing in proteomics has come of age owing to continuous progress in LC-MS. With their high resolution and broad mass range, Quadrupole Time-of-Flight (Q-ToF) hybrid mass spectrometers equipped with electrospray ionisation source and tandem MS capability by collision-induced dissociation (CID) can be employed to analyse intact proteins and retrieve primary sequence information. To our knowledge, top-down proteomics methods with Q-ToF have only been evaluated using samples of relatively low complexity. Furthermore, the in-source CID (IS-CID) capability of Q-ToF instruments has been under-utilised. This study aimed at optimising top-down sequencing of intact milk proteins to achieve the greatest sequence coverage possible from samples of increasing complexity, assessed using nine known proteins. Eleven MS/MS methods varying in their IS-CID and conventional CID parameters were tested on individual and mixed protein standards as well as raw milk samples. Top-down sequencing results from the nine most abundant proteoforms of caseins, alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglubulins were compared. Nine MS/MS methods achieved more than 70% sequence coverage overall to distinguish between allelic proteoforms, varying only by one or two amino acids. The optimal methods utilised IS-CID at low energy. This experiment demonstrates the utility of Q-ToF systems for top-down proteomics and that IS-CID could be more frequently employed.

description: Background: The mutations changing the expression level of a gene, or expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), can be identified by testing the association between genetic variants and gene expression in multiple individuals (eQTL mapping), or by comparing the expression of the alleles in a heterozygous individual (allele specific expression or ASE analysis). The aims of the study were to find and compare ASE and local eQTL in 4 bovine RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) datasets, validate them in an independent ASE study and investigate if they are associated with complex trait variation. Results: We present a novel method for distinguishing between ASE driven by polymorphisms in cis and parent of origin effects. We found that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) driving ASE are also often local eQTL and therefore presumably cis eQTL. These SNPs often, but not always, affect gene expression in multiple tissues and, when they do, the allele increasing expression is usually the same. However, there were systematic differences between ASE and local eQTL and between tissues and breeds. We also found that SNPs significantly associated with gene expression (p < 0.001) were likely to influence some complex traits (p < 0.001), which means that some mutations influence variation in complex traits by changing the expression level of genes. Conclusion: We conclude that ASE detects phenomenon that overlap with local eQTL, but there are also systematic differences between the SNPs discovered by the two methods. Some mutations influencing complex traits are actually eQTL and can be discovered using RNA-Seq including eQTL in the genes CAST, CAPN1, LCORL and LEPROTL1.

description: To enhance the performance of pulverized coal combustion, a composite combustion aid was prepared by the physical mixing method using the preferred coal blend of a particular enterprise as the raw material. The effects of different proportions of composite combustion aids (light-burnt dolomite (LBD), Fe2O3, and CeO2) on the catalytic combustion reactivity of pulverized coal were studied using a synchronous thermal analyzer, and the enhanced combustion characteristics, kinetic parameters, and thermal release characteristics of the composite combustion aids on pulverized coal were examined. The results showed that the composite combustion aids with different ratios had different combustion-enhancing effects on pulverized coal; the composite combustion aid consisting of LBD, Fe2O3, and CeO2 in a specific ratio could reduce the ignition temperature of pulverized coal by 1.94%, the maximum weight loss temperature by 0.71%, the burn-out temperature by 0.15%, the integrated combustion index by 15.31%, the mass loss by 87.15%, and it appeared in the combustion stage; the activation energy decreased by 8.2%; the exothermic capacity increased by 12.90%. By comparing the ratio content of the composite combustion aid in terms of its effect on the combustion of coal powder, the best catalytic effect was achieved with a ratio of LBD, Fe2O3, and CeO2 of 7:2:1. The research results obtained the optimal catalytic effect of the composite combustion aid, which provides a theoretical reference for the industrial application of catalysts added to blast furnace blowing pulverized coal.

description: Gas filter correlation radiometry (GFCR) is a high-resolution, high-specificity technique for sensing gaseous species. A variation of absorption spectroscopy, GFCR has a long-proven record on orbital platforms for quantitative measurements of atmospheric constituents, as well as common usage in ground-based sensing applications. PMGFCR (Polarization-modulated GFCR) is a recent refinement of the technique with several advantages over the traditional method, including reducing the number of photodetectors required, increased sensitivity, and elimination of moving parts.

To date, no infrared remote sensors have successfully measured nitric oxide (NO) in vehicle exhaust due to spectral overlap by strong water vapor (H2Ov) absorption bands. The inherent specificity of PMGFCR provides sufficient suppression of H2Ov interference to measure vehicles with high NO emissions (l00's parts per million (ppm)).

This thesis investigates optimization of the PMGFCR to further reduce H2Ov interference. We use a computer model to demonstrate that with careful optical filter selection, accurate measurements of NO are feasible with the PM-GFCR, and optimize a laboratory bench-top PM-GFCR system to verify the predictions made with the computer model. Typical measurement error due to transient water vapor may be reduced from over 300 ppm equivalent NO to as little as 2 ppm.

description: For patients who smoke, electronic cigarettes may offer a pathway to achieve tobacco abstinence and reduce the risk of postoperative complications. Clinicians have a pivotal role in supporting smoking cessation by patients with lung cancer and coronary artery disease throughout the perioperative period of cardiothoracic surgery. However, the views of Australian cardiothoracic clinicians on electronic cigarettes and smoking cessation are unknown. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 52 cardiothoracic surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and physiotherapists in six hospitals in Sydney and thematically analysed. Clinicians’ knowledge about electronic cigarettes and the regulatory environment surrounding them was limited. Clinicians believed that: electronic cigarettes, though unlikely to be safe, were safer than tobacco cigarettes; electronic cigarettes may have a harm reduction role in public health; and electronic cigarettes were a potential smoking cessation tool for the extraordinary circumstances of surgery. The professional role of a clinician and their views about electronic cigarettes as a perioperative smoking cessation aid had an influence on future clinician-patient interactions. Electronic cigarette use is increasing in Australia and clinicians are likely to receive more frequent questions about electronic cigarettes as a cessation aid. Stronger guidance for clinicians is needed on the topic of electronic cigarettes and cardiothoracic surgery.

description: Many large-scale connectivity initiatives have been proposed around the world with the aim of maintaining or restoring connectivity to offset the impacts on biodiversity of habitat loss and fragmentation. Frequently, these are based on the requirements of a single focal species of concern, but there is growing attention to identifying connectivity requirements for multi-species assemblages. A number of methods for modelling connectivity have been developed; likewise, different approaches have been used to construct resistance surfaces, the basic input data for connectivity analyses. In this study we modelled connectivity for a multi-species group of vertebrates representative of heavily fragmented forests in northcentral Victoria, Australia. For each species, we used least-cost modelling and compared two alternate resistance surfaces, based on species distribution models and on expert opinion, respectively. We integrated the connectivity results across individual species to obtain a multi-species connectivity map for the region. A resistance surface based on expert assessment of the relative use of land-cover classes by the target species was more informative than one based on species distribution models. The former resulted in pathways more strongly aligned with existing patches and strips of native vegetation. In this region, pathways aligned with streams and their associated riparian vegetation have relatively high ecological potential and feasibility to contribute to regional connectivity for the assemblage of forest vertebrates.

description: Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs; Fe3O4) are one of the most versatile and safe nanoparticles in a wide variety of biomedical applications, for example, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), targeted delivery of drugs or genes, and in hyperthermia. Although, the potential benefits of SPIONs are considerable, there is a distinct need to identify any potential cellular damage associated with these nanoparticles. In this work, the SPIONs were synthesized by the covalent binding of starch onto the surface of SPIONs, by a ?green? co?precipitation method. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) illustrated the regular spheres of SPIONs that were coated by starch molecules with a mean diameter of about 30 nm. The X?ray diffraction (XRD) patterns indicated that the biosynthesized samples were pure Fe3O4 with a spinel structure while the coating of starch did not result in a phase change. The starch coating onto the SPIONs was also demonstrated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and magnetic measurements revealed that the saturated magnetization of the starch ? SPIONs reached 38.4 emu/g, having nanoparticles with the characteristics of superparamagnetism. In vitro cytotoxicity studies on human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) showed a dose dependent toxicity with non-toxic effect of concentration below 31.25 ?g/mL. In this study, we have focused on biosynthesis of SPIONs and their induced toxic biological responses for a better toxicological understanding of SPIONs.

description: There is lack of a suitable assessment tool that can be used routinely and systematically by hospital staff to address family caregivers' (FCs') support needs. This paper describes a novel approach to identifying and addressing FCs' needs following hospital discharge of the older person receiving care. Setting and participants FC recruitment occurred on the patient's discharge from a tertiary hospital in Western Australia; 64 completed the study; 80% were female; mean age 63.2 years. Intervention The Further Enabling Care at Home (FECH) programme was delivered over the telephone by a specially trained nurse and included: support to facilitate understanding of the patient's discharge letter; caregiver support needs assessment and prioritisation of urgent needs; and collaborative guidance, from the nurse, regarding accessing supports. Results Sixty-four FCs completed the FECH programme. The top three support needs identified by the FCs were: knowing what to expect in the future (52%), knowing who to contact if they were concerned (52%) and practical help in the home (36%). The telephone-based outreach service worked well and was convenient for the nurse and the FCs, and saved on transport, time and money. Most of the FCs appreciated the systematic approach to identify and articulate their needs and were satisfied with the support they received, mainly navigation through the systems, problem solving, self-care strategies, explanation of illness, symptoms and medication and access to after-hours services. Conclusions In order to guide services which may consider adopting this systematic approach to supporting FCs and integrating it into their routine practice, this evaluation of the FECH programme has described the processes implemented and highlighted the factors that hindered or facilitated these processes to engage caregivers with appropriate services in a timely manner. Positive feedback indicated that the programme was a useful addition to hospital discharge planning. Trial registration number ACTRN12614001174673; Results.

description: Tra i testimoni dell’ode pariniana “A Silvia”, il più autorevole, individuato da Dante Isella (e confermato come tale da Franco Longoni e Mirella D’Ettorre, successivi editori dell’opera), è un opuscolo privo del nome dell’autore le cui lezioni sono più corrette dell’esemplare comasco ritenuto l’editio princeps. I due testimoni, benché tipograficamente simili, non furono tuttavia stampati dallo stesso tipografo – come ritiene Isella – dal momento che il primo è identico a un esemplare dell’ode “Alla Musa”, stampato a Milano e conservato presso la Biblioteca Ambrosiana.

description: Background/Aims: Liver fibrosis is a complex process of tissue remodeling in response to injury. Hepatic macrophages have been identified as a key player in this process. As the largest lymphoid organ in the body, the spleen exerts both local and systemic effects on immune cell response. Splenectomy can improve hepatic function during the treatment of liver cirrhosis. However, whether the spleen influences disease progression through the modulation of hepatic macrophages remains unclear. Methods: We examined ex vivo hepatic macrophage responses from splenectomized or sham operated rats and performed splenocyte adoptive transfer studies, in combination with in vivo CCL2 blockade, in splenectomized or sham operated rats. Results: We found that splenectomy reduced fibrosis severity and monocyte/ macrophage infiltration within the injured liver. Splenectomy also reduced secretion of the monocyte chemokine CCL2 by hepatic macrophages. Ex vivo, splenocytes, especially splenic macrophages, promoted CCL2 secretion via upregulation of SOCS3 signaling in hepatic macrophages. Migration of splenic monocytes in response to conditioned medium from hepatic macrophages was inhibited by the blockade of SOCS3-CCL2-CCR2 signaling. Splenectomy also attenuated the establishment of an M1-dominant hepatic macrophage phenotype whilst the adoptive transfer of splenocytes could partly reverse this effect and exacerbate fibrosis. However, CCL2 blockade following adoptive splenocyte transfer restored the protective effects of splenectomy. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that splenic macrophages can promote hepatic macrophage secretion of CCL2, which in turn facilitates monocyte recruitment and the establishment of an M1-dominant hepatic macrophage phenotype, and thus increase the severity of liver fibrosis.

description: Severe uveitis is a rare complication of interleukin-4 receptor alpha blocking by dupilumab in topic dermatitis (AD) patients. The aim of this study was to describe five moderate-to-severe AD patients who developed uveitis during dupilumab treatment and to compare the proteomic profile of aqueous humor (AqH) of dupilumab-associated uveitis (n=3/5 available samples) with non-infectious uveitis (n=27) and cataract controls (n=11). Included patients were treated at the University Medical Center Utrecht (the Netherlands). Active dupilumab-associated uveitis complicated by serous detachment, cystoid macular edema, or secondary glaucoma developed within a median of 6.0 months (interquartile range 2.3–16.5 months) after starting dupilumab. Uveitis resolved after discontinuation of dupilumab and/or treatment with local or systemic corticosteroids. Proteomic profiling of AqH revealed that the molecular profile of dupilumab-associated uveitis resembled that of non-infectious uveitis. In conclusion, dupilumab-associated uveitis is a severe adverse event of dupilumab therapy, requiring urgent referral to an ophthalmologist.
title: Wavelength Modulation Spectroscopy with Diode Lasers
Creators: name: Lu, Ying
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University
publisherIdentifier: https://ror.org/04zjtrb98
publisherIdentifierScheme: ROR
Year: 1996

description: Wavelength Modulation Spectroscopy is a non-intrusive technique which enables several parameters such as concentration, velocity, and temperature of a target specie to be measured. The method involves a modulation of a probe laser beam and detection at the fundamental, or any harmonic frequency, by a phase-sensitive apparatus. The theory of wavelength modulation is discussed. Effects of the finite value of the wavelength modulation index, together with the effects of any residual amplitude modulation that often occurs simultaneously in a diode laser, are included. It is shown that there are several advantages in using detection harmonics orders greater than the second. These include an increased resolution of nearly overlapping lines, as well as an increased sensitivity to density fluctuations. Experimental results are presented and compared to the theory developed.

description: Tinnitus and uveitis have shared commonality in pathophysiology in terms of autoimmunity. However, no studies that have linked any association between the conditions of tinnitus and uveitis. This is a retrospective study conducted from the Taiwan National Health Insurance database in order to investigate whether tinnitus patients are at increased risk of uveitis. Patients newly diagnosed with tinnitus between 2001 and 2014 were recruited and followed up until 2018. The endpoint of interest was a diagnosis of uveitis. A total of 31,034 tinnitus patients and 124,136 matched comparisons were analyzed. Tinnitus patients were found to have a significantly higher cumulative incidence for uveitis than those without the diagnosis of tinnitus with incidence rate of 1.68 (95% CI 1.55–1.82) per 10 000 person-months for tinnitus group and 1.48 (95% CI 1.42–1.54) per 10 000 person-months for non-tinnitus group. Tinnitus patients were found to have increased risk of developing uveitis.

title: The three spaces of the actor: Practical investigations with Samuel Beckett and Thierry Salmon through contemporary neuroscience
Creators: name: Romagnoli, Angelo
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: This thesis proposes a novel perspective on acting as centred in human spatial processing capabilities and aims to offer a comprehensive framework to enhance the understanding, transmission, and acquisition of practical knowledge in the field of performance. This framework emerges from two primary strategies: 1) an epistemological method that amalgamates experimental findings on human spatial processing, observations and archival content from theatre studies, and auto-ethnographic accounts; and 2) the development of a nuanced vocabulary for space by tracing connections between early 20th-century German clinic psychopathology and modern experimental research in neurophysiology.
 
The conceptualisation of an actor's space unfolds through three interconnected dimensions: the inner space, understood through interoception, which highlights a multimodal neural system that processes visceral signals, forming the basis for self-awareness and temporal dynamics; the peri-personal space, governed by a dynamic multisensory-motor system within the fronto-parietal network that merges tactile, visual, and auditory inputs, and extends through interaction and the utilisation of props; and the external space, informed by hippocampal functions that generate 'place' and 'grid cells', neurons underpinning both individual and collective cognitive mappings of space, indicating an innate human capacity to ascribe meanings to spaces.
 
Through this framework, the thesis re-examines the work of notable theatre practitioners, namely Samuel Beckett's main directorial works between 1967 to 1979 and Thierry Salmon's spatial system of rehearsals, which integrates diverse theatrical experiences ranging from (post)Stanislavskian techniques to Jerzy Grotowski's Paratheatre.
Finally, the thesis includes auto-ethnographic reflections on how spatial understanding informs character development and delivery, offering practical insights into the embodied dimensions of theatrical performance.

description: Splicing is an essential step in eukaryotic gene expression. While the majority of introns is excised by the U2-dependent, or major class, spliceosome, the appropriate expression of a very small subset of genes depends on U12-dependent, or minor class, splicing. The U11/U12 65K protein (hereafter 65K), encoded by RNPC3, is one of seven proteins that are unique to the U12-dependent spliceosome, and previous studies including our own have established that it plays a role in plant and vertebrate development. To pinpoint the impact of 65K loss during mammalian development and in adulthood, we generated germline and conditional Rnpc3-deficient mice. Homozygous Rnpc3−/− embryos died prior to blastocyst implantation, whereas Rnpc3+/− mice were born at the expected frequency, achieved sexual maturity, and exhibited a completely normal lifespan. Systemic recombination of conditional Rnpc3 alleles in adult (Rnpc3lox/lox) mice caused rapid weight loss, leukopenia, and degeneration of the epithelial lining of the entire gastrointestinal tract, the latter due to increased cell death and a reduction in cell proliferation. Accompanying this, we observed a loss of both 65K and the pro-proliferative phospho-ERK1/2 proteins from the stem/progenitor cells at the base of intestinal crypts. RT-PCR analysis of RNA extracted from purified preparations of intestinal epithelial cells with recombined Rnpc3lox alleles revealed increased frequency of U12-type intron retention in all transcripts tested. Our study, using a novel conditional mouse model of Rnpc3 deficiency, establishes that U12-dependent splicing is not only important during development but is indispensable throughout life.
