description: We have investigated the evolution of the shell structure of nuclei in going from the r-process path to the neutron drip line within the framework of the Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (RHB) theory. By introducing the quartic self-coupling of $ω$ meson in the RHB theory in addition to the non-linear scalar coupling of $σ$ meson, we reproduce the available data on the shell effects about the waiting-point nucleus $^{80}$Zn. With this approach, it is shown that the shell effects at N=82 in the inaccessible region of the r-process path become milder as compared to the Lagrangian with the scalar self-coupling only. However, the shell effects remain stronger as compared to the quenching exhibited by the HFB+SkP approach. It is also shown that in reaching out to the extreme point at the neutron drip line, a terminal situation arises where the shell structure at the magic number is washed out significantly.

description: In this work, we present the first experimental upper limits on the presence of stochastic ultra-high-frequency gravitational waves. We exclude gravitational waves in the frequency bands from $(2.7 - 14)\times10^{14}~$Hz and $(5 - 12)\times10^{18}~$Hz down to a characteristic amplitude of $h_c^{\rm min}\approx6\times 10^{-26}$ and $h_c^{\rm min}\approx 5\times 10^{-28}$ at $95~$% confidence level, respectively. To obtain these results, we used data from existing facilities that have been constructed and operated with the aim of detecting WISPs (Weakly Interacting Slim Particles), pointing out that these facilities are also sensitive to gravitational waves by graviton to photon conversion in the presence of a magnetic field. The principle applies to all experiments of this kind, with prospects of constraining (or detecting), for example, gravitational waves from light primordial black hole evaporation in the early universe.

description: Early life stress (ELS) is associated with altered stress reactivity and an increased risk for the development of psychopathological conditions in later life. However, depending on whether autonomic or endocrine measures were used as indicators of stress reactivity, previous studies reported conflicting findings of either increased or decreased stress reactivity after ELS experience. In the present study we therefore aimed to investigate the effect of ELS on both autonomic and endocrine indicators (heart rate and salivary cortisol) of individual stress reactivity and applied a psychosocial stress task in a sample of healthy participants with and without exposure to mild to moderate ELS. Results showed no significant effects of ELS on autonomic and endocrine indicators of individual stress reactivity. Importantly though, heart rate proved as more sensitive than salivary cortisol with regard to differentiating between stress and control conditions and thereby as a more feasible indicator of an individual's stress reactivity. Accordingly, our data suggest that sole reliance on salivary cortisol as an indicator of stress reactivity might lead to an oversight of more subtle effects of psychosocial stress.
Therapeutic Inhibition of the Lectin Pathway in Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

description: As a result of the close interaction between the complement system and the coagulation system, complement activation participates in the pathogenesis of many disease processes that are characterised by thrombosis, and the control of complement activation may ameliorate the severity of disease processes involving thrombotic microangiopathies. This study addresses the therapeutic utility of the targeted inhibition of one of the three complement activation pathways, the lectin pathway, to treat a rare fatal microangiopathy named Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). TTP occurs due to the absence of the enzyme ADAMTS-13 (for “a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type-1 motif, member 13”– von Willebrand factor cleaving protein). This defect impairs the cleavage of large vWF multimers, which in turn predisposes to thrombosis through platelet aggregation and the formation of vWF-rich micro-thrombi that occlude the lumen of small blood vessels.ADAMTS-13 deficient mice (on C57BL/6 background) were used in our study. They were injected intraperitonially (ip) with purified human plasma vWF (Haemate-p), plus Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from E.coli O111:B4. ADAMTS-13 deficient mice were either given LPS i.p. in a dose of 0.5 mg/kg plus vWF in a dose of 2000 iu/kg body weight (n=36) or LPS 2mg/kg plus vWF 2000 iu/kg (n=18) or LPS 2mg/kg plus vWF 4000 iu/kg body weight (n=36). The experimental mice in each dose level were sorted into three treatment groups. The first group was pre-treated with an inhibitory monoclonal anti-MASP-2 antibody (OMS721-SGMI2). The second group was pre-treated with the relevant isotype control antibody IgG4 (ET-904) while the third group was given saline injections only.Treatment of mice with OMS721-SGMI2 achieved that vWF and LPS challenges of ADAMTS-13 deficient mice resulted in a significant prevention of platelets loss with lower plasma LDH levels and higher haptoglobin levels in circulation compared to the two different control groups (isotype treated mice as well as saline-treated mice) at all experimental levels. Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) levels (as parameters for the impairment of renal functions) were elevated in all mouse groups, but those mice treated with anti-MASP-2 Abs presented with lower BUN levels than the other two groups without statistical significance. Histologically, mice treated with anti-MASP-2 Abs showed significantly lower level of vWF/platelet aggregates and a statistically not significant trend of lower levels of macrophages infiltration than both control groups.In conclusion there may be a role for the lectin pathway of complement activation system in the pathophysiology of TTP and inhibition of the lectin pathway of complement activation system by anti-MASP-2 Abs may be helpful in treatment of TTP.

While the first realisations of small scale quantum networks are expected in the near future, scaling such networks presents immense challenges to physics, computer science and engineering. Here, we provide a gentle introduction to quantum networking targeted at computer scientists, and survey the state of the art. We proceed to discuss key challenges for computer science in order to make such networks a reality.

Strings as Flux Tube and Deconfinement on Branes in Gauge Theories

description: We propose gauge theories in which the unstable branes and the fundamental string are realized as classical solutions. While the former are represented by domain wall like configurations of a scalar field coupled to the gauge field, the latter is by a confined flux tube in the bulk. It is shown that the confined flux tube is really a source of the bulk B-field. Our model also provides a natural scenario of the confinement on the brane in the context of the open string tachyon condensation. It is also argued that the fundamental string can be realized as a classical solution in a certain IIB matrix model as in our model.

description: Three new sesquiterpenoid alkaloids, cangorin K (1), dimacroregelines C (2) and D (3), as well as two known sesquiterpenoids (4–5), were isolated from the roots of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. The structures of new compounds were characterised by extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses, as well as HRESIMS data, and the known compounds were established by 1 D NMR spectra referring to the literatures. Cytotoxicity evaluation of these compounds against two human tumour lines (SMMC7721, LN229) was investigated by CCK-8 assay and displayed that compounds 1–4 showed potent cytotoxicity against SMMC7721 cell with IC50 value in the range of 0.26–9.67 μΜ and compounds 1–5 showed potent cytotoxicity against LN-229 cell with IC50 values in the range of 0.50–7.38 μΜ.

description: We study the effect of local projective measurements on the quantum quench dynamics. As a concrete example, a one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model is simulated by the matrix product state and time-evolving block decimation. We map out a global phase diagram in terms of the measurement rate in spatial space and time domain, which demonstrates a volume-to-area law entanglement phase transition. When the measurement rate reaches the critical value, we observe a logarithmic growth of entanglement entropy as the subsystem size or evolved time increases. Moreover, we find that the probability distribution of the single-site entanglement entropy distinguishes the volume and area law phases, similar to the case of disorder-induced many-body localization. We also investigate the scaling behavior of entanglement entropy and mutual information between two separated sites, which is indicative of a single universality class and thus suggests a possible unified description of this transition.

description: Several studies indicate the functional importance of the motor cortex for higher cognition, language and semantic processing, and place the neural substrate of these processes in sensorimotor action-perception circuits linking motor, sensory and perisylvian language regions. Interestingly, in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), semantic processing of action and emotion words seems to be impaired and is associated with hypoactivity of the motor cortex during semantic processing. In this study, the relationship between semantic processing, fine motor skills and clinical symptoms was investigated in 19 individuals with ASD and 22 typically-developing matched controls. Participants completed two semantic decision tasks involving words from different semantic categories, a test of alexithymia (the Toronto Alexithymia Scale), and a test of fine motor skills (the Purdue Pegboard Test). A significant Group × Word Category interaction in accuracy (p < 0.05) demonstrated impaired semantic processing for action words, but not object words in the autistic group. There was no significant group difference when processing abstract emotional words or abstract neutral words. Moreover, our study revealed deficits in fine motor skills as well as evidence for alexithymia in the ASD group, but not in neurotypical controls. However, these motor deficits did not correlate significantly with impairments in action-semantic processing. We interpret the data in terms of an underlying dysfunction of the action-perception system in ASD and its specific impact on semantic language processing.

description: We analyze the convergence rate of the randomized Newton-like method introduced by Qu et. al. (2016) for smooth and convex objectives, which uses random coordinate blocks of a Hessian-over-approximation matrix $\bM$ instead of the true Hessian. The convergence analysis of the algorithm is challenging because of its complex dependence on the structure of $\bM$. However, we show that when the coordinate blocks are sampled with probability proportional to their determinant, the convergence rate depends solely on the eigenvalue distribution of matrix $\bM$, and has an analytically tractable form. To do so, we derive a fundamental new expectation formula for determinantal point processes. We show that determinantal sampling allows us to reason about the optimal subset size of blocks in terms of the spectrum of $\bM$. Additionally, we provide a numerical evaluation of our analysis, demonstrating cases where determinantal sampling is superior or on par with uniform sampling.

 Conus primula Reeve, 1849: pl. 6, no. 259 (type, BMNH (31 x 18 mm); locality unknown).
 Material examined: MBMCS 133, 22 specimens, SL 24–48 mm; SW 12–29 mm.
 Description. Shell small to moderately large, solid to heavy. Body whorl broadly conical; outline almost straight. Shoulder angulate, strongly to weakly tuberculate. Spire of low to moderate height, outline straight to slightly concave. Body whorl with variably granulose spiral ribs above base, sometimes to centre.
Body whorl olive to brownish yellow, with pale or white transverse bands at centre and below shoulder. Base dark violet-brown. Apex usually pink. Late spire whorls and shoulder white, sometimes with paler ground colour of body whorl between tubercles. Aperture deep purple-violet, behind narrow orange-brown margin, with pale band at centre and shoulder. Periostracum yellowish-brown, opaque and smooth with fine axial ridges.
 Distribution. Satyamurti (1952) reported this species from Shingle Island of Gulf of Mannar. Kohn (1978) has referred to a specimen deposited in ZMUC as being obtained off Tranquebar. Röckel et al. (1995) reported a specimen from south India.
The specimens reported herein were collected from Gulf of Mannar (Table 6) by trawling in 10–30 m. Specimens were found to be comparatively abundant at Keelakarai.
 Remarks. The distribution of C. lividus is restricted to the Gulf of Mannar. The occurrence of a larger number of specimens from Keelakarai may be associated with the fact that they generally inhabit the edges of the fringing reefs of the nearby coral islands.

description: Subtribe Tetracheilostomina Hedges, Adalsteinsson, & Branch, New Subtribe   Type genus. Tetracheilostoma Jan, 1861: 191.
 Diagnosis. Tetracheilostomina is distinguished from the other two subtribes of Epictini by usually having four supralabials (two in Epictina and 2–3 in Renina) (Table 2). The support for this group was 100% BP and 100% PP for the four-gene tree (Fig. 3); only one of the two genera was included in the nine-gene tree (Fig. 4).
 Content. Two genera and seven species (Table 1; Fig. 7).
 Distribution. Tetracheilostomina is distributed in the West Indies: on the island of Hispaniola in the Greater Antilles, and on Martinique, Saint Lucia, and Barbados in the Lesser Antilles.
 Remarks. Tetracheilostomina includes species in the former " bilineatus Group" of " Leptotyphlops " (Hedges 2008; Thomas 1965; Thomas et al. 1985). The high number (four) of supralabials is rare among leptotyphlopids, otherwise occurring only in Rhinoleptus. As a unifying character for this West Indian radiation it is further supported by the molecular phylogeny (Fig. 3). However, the included species are considerably divergent in other scale characters, body size, and coloration. The species from Hispaniola have a high number of middorsal scales, are thin, and pale brown or pink in color. In contrast, the Lesser Antillean species have a low number of middorsals, are stout, and dark brown in color with dull yellowish stripes. The molecular phylogeny supports the distinction of these two groups of species and we recognize them here at the generic level.

description: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have proven a fundamental tool to identify common variants associated to complex traits, thus contributing to unveil the genetic components of human disease. Besides, the advent of GWAS contributed to expose unexpected findings that urged to redefine the framework of population genetics. First, loci identified by GWAS had small effect sizes and could only explain a fraction of the predicted heritability of the traits under study. Second, the majority of GWAS hits mapped within non-coding regions (such as intergenic or intronic regions) where new functional RNA species (such as lncRNAs or circRNAs) have started to emerge. Bigger cohorts, meta-analysis and technical improvements in genotyping allowed identification of an increased number of genetic variants associated to coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiometabolic traits. The challenge remains to infer causal mechanisms by which these variants influence cardiovascular disease development. A tendency to assign potential causal variants preferentially to coding genes close to lead variants contributed to disregard the role of non-coding elements. In recent years, in parallel to an increased knowledge of the non-coding genome, new studies started to characterize disease-associated variants located within non-coding RNA regions. The upcoming of databases integrating single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and non-coding RNAs together with novel technologies will hopefully facilitate the discovery of causal non-coding variants associated to disease. This review attempts to summarize the current knowledge of genetic variation within non-coding regions with a focus on long non-coding RNAs that have widespread impact in cardiometabolic diseases.

description: The morphology of bipolar planetary nebulae (PNe) can be attributed to interactions between a fast wind from the central engine and dense toroidal shaped ejecta left over from common envelope (CE) evolution. Here we use the 3-D hydrodynamic AMR code AstroBEAR to study the possibility that bipolar PN outflows can emerge collimated even from an uncollimated spherical wind in the aftermath of a CE event. The output of a single CE simulation via the SPH code PHANTOM serves as the initial conditions. Four cases of winds, all with high enough momenta to account for observed high momenta preplanetary nebula outflows, are injected spherically from the region of the CE binary remnant into the ejecta. We compare cases with two different momenta and cases with no radiative cooling versus application of optically thin emission via a cooling curve to the outflow. Our simulations show that in all cases highly collimated bipolar outflows result from deflection of the spherical wind via the interaction with the CE ejecta. Significant asymmetries between the top and bottom lobes are seen in all cases. The asymmetry is strongest for the lower momentum case with radiative cooling. While real post CE winds may be aspherical, our models show that collimation via "inertial confinement" will be strong enough to create jet-like outflows even beginning with maximally uncollimated drivers. Our simulations reveal detailed shock structures in the shock focused inertial confinement (SFIC) model and develop a lens-shaped inner shock that is a new feature of SFIC driven bipolar lobes.

description: The next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections in massless perturbative QCD are derived for the parton distributions of the photon and the deep inelastic structure functions F_1^gamma and F_2^gamma. We present the full photonic coefficient functions at order alpha alpha_s and calculate the first six even-integer moments of the corresponding O(alpha alpha_s^2) photon-quark and photon-gluon splitting functions together with the moments of the alpha alpha_s^2 coefficient functions which enter only beyond NNLO. These results are employed to construct parametrizations of the splitting functions which prove to be sufficiently accurate at least for momentum fractions x >= 0.05. We also present explicit expressions for the transformation from the MS_bar to the DIS_gamma factorization scheme and write down the solution of the evolution equations. The numerical impact of the NNLO corrections is discussed in both schemes.

description: We fully investigate the symmetry breaking patterns occurring upon creation of composite non-Abelian strings: vortex strings in non-Abelian theories where different sets of colours have different amounts of flux. After spontaneous symmetry breaking, there remains some internal colour degrees of freedom attached to these objects, which we argue must exist in a Flag manifold, a more general kind of projective space than both $\mathbb{CP}(N)$ and the Grassmannian manifold. These strings are expected to be BPS, since its constituents are. We demonstrate that this is true and construct a low-energy effective action for the fluctuations of the internal Flag moduli, which we then re-write it in two different ways for the dynamics of these degrees of freedom: a gauged linear sigma model with auxiliary fields and a non-linear sigma model with an explicit target space metric for the Flag Manifolds, both of which $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ supersymmetric. We finish by performing some groundwork analysis of the resulting theory.

A Comparison Of Remote Sensing Change Detection Methods For Urban Creep Identification In Norwich
Creators: name: Tewkesbury, Andrew P.
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Change detection is one of the most active research areas in remote sensing, driven by the desire to monitor the highly dynamic world around us. Modern very high resolution (VHR) images from satellite and aerial platforms present an opportunity to reveal landscape change in great detail. However, there is little research focusing on detailed change detection. This research addresses this problem, by investigating the utility of remote sensing change detection to detect fine urban changes called ‘urban creep’. Urban creep is the addition of impermeable surface to an existing property, after its initial construction. This is problematic because cumulatively, urban creep significantly increases flood risk. Moreover, up-to-date urban creep statistics are not readily available. Therefore, urban creep identification is a challenge to change detection research because of its subtle expression, small extent, and complicated contextual setting. The investigation of urban creep is conducted over the city of Norwich using aerial images from 2006 and 2010. The research focuses on three methodological areas. Firstly, statistical sampling is employed to quantify a baseline rate of urban creep. Secondly, a direct classification of the remotely sensed data is undertaken to assess the utility of the state-of-the-art in this application. And lastly, as a counter-point, change vector analysis (CVA) is applied to explore the utility and relevance of differencing methods in a complex urban change detection setting. The results have shown that 1) The rate of urban creep in Norwich is increasing; 2) Quantitative urban creep evaluation remains beyond the current state-of-the-art, but qualitative detection is possible; 3) Simple spectral CVA has almost no utility in this application. These findings contribute to knowledge by clarifying the capabilities of change detection techniques in detailed urban applications; building upon, and extending existing CVA research; and finally by adding to urban creep knowledge.

description: Objectives: To investigate the suitability of the German version of the Manchester Triage System (MTS) as a potential tool to redirect emergency department (ED) patients to general practitioner care. Such tools are currently being discussed in the context of reorganisation of emergency care in Germany. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Single centre University Hospital Emergency Department. Participants: Adult, non-surgical ED patients. Exposure: A non-urgent triage category was defined as a green or blue triage category according to the German version of the MTS. Primary and secondary outcome measures: Surrogate parameters for short-term risk (admission rate, diagnoses, length of hospital stay, admission to the intensive care unit, in-hospital and 30-day mortality) and long-term risk (1-year mortality). Results: A total of 1122 people presenting to the ED participated in the study. Of these, 31.9% (n=358) received a non-urgent triage category and 68.1% (n=764) were urgent. Compared with non-urgent ED presentations, those with an urgent triage category were older (median age 60 vs 56 years, p=0.001), were more likely to require hospital admission (47.8% vs 29.6%) and had higher in-hospital mortality (1.6% vs 0.8%). There was no significant difference observed between non-urgent and urgent triage categories for 30-day mortality (1.2% [n=4] vs 2.2% [n=15]; p=0.285) or for 1-year mortality (7.9% [n=26] vs 10.5% [n=72]; p=0.190). Urgency was not a significant predictor of 1-year mortality in univariate (HR=1.35; 95%CI 0.87 to 2.12; p=0.185) and multivariate regression analyses (HR=1.20; 95%CI 0.77 to 1.89; p=0.420). Conclusions: The results of this study suggest the German MTS is unsuitable to safely identify patients for redirection to non-ED based GP care.

description: Gutzwiller variational method is applied to an effective two-dimensional Hubbard model to examine the recently proposed gossamer superconductor by Laughlin. The ground state at half filled electron density is a gossamer superconductor for smaller intra-site Coulomb repulsion U and a Mott insulator for larger U. The gossamer superconducting state is similar to the resonant valence bond superconducting state, except that the chemical potential is approximately pinned at the mid of the two Hubbard bands away from the half filled.

 Conus aculeiformi s Reeve, 1844: pl. 44, no. 240b (lectotype, BMNH 196168 (38 x 15 mm) (Walls 1979); " Cagayan, island of Mindanao, Philippines ").
 Conus (Asperi) delicates Schepman, 1913: 392– 393, pl. 25, fig. 3 (holotype, ZMA (18.5 x 6 mm) (Röckel et al. 1995); "Madura-bay").
 Material examined: MBMCS 102, 3 specimens, SL 35–41 mm; SW 11–15 mm.
 Description. Shell moderately small and light. Body whorl narrowly conical, elongated anteriorly, outline almost straight. Shoulder angulate with a deep exhalent notch. Spire of moderate height, sharply pointed and concave. Body whorl with widely spaced, axially striate spiral grooves separating very flat ribbons and extending from base to shoulder. Aperture long, narrow and slightly wider anteriorly, outer lip very thin and fragile, posteriorly sloping strongly below level of shoulder. Ground colour cream. Body whorl with spiral rows of brown squarish to rectangular spots on ribbons, often fused into an interrupted spiral band on each side of the centre. Aperture pale brown.
 Distribution. There have been no records in the literature on the distribution of this species in India. However, specimens from Madras (at AMNH) and Tranquebar (at ZMUC) were collected by the Galathea expedition (Kohn 1978).
The specimens described herein were collected from Madras by trawling in 20–40 m and at Cuddalore from the trash discard (Table 6).
 Remarks. The present shell collected from Cuddalore is larger (41 mm) than the maximum length (38 mm) of this species previously reported by Röckel et al. (1995).

 Conus bayani Jousseame, 1872: 200–202, pl. 18, fig. 1 (holotype, BMNH (51 x 24 mm) (Röckel et al. 1995); "Bourbon").
 Material examined: MBMCS 111, 42 specimens, SL 43–72 mm; SW 20–36 mm.
 Description. Shell medium sized to moderately large, moderately solid. Body whorl conical; outline straight to slightly sigmoid. Shoulder broad and carinate. Body whorl with distinct or weak spiral ribs and ribbons at base separated by fine grooves. Spire of moderate height, extremely concave and sharply pointed. Aperture generally narrow; outer lip straight, sharp, thin and fragile.
Ground colour white to pinkish or cream. Body whorl variously covered with deep yellowish-brown blotches and streaks; these tend to form two broad broken spiral bands above and below centre. Some specimens have traces of an additional interrupted spiral band below the shoulder. Spire whorls with scattered blotches of brown. Aperture white, with violet tone. Periostracum brown, thin and translucent.
 Distribution. Melvill & Standen (1901) reported several dead specimens off Bombay (west coast). Along the east coast, Kohn (1978) reported C. bayani specimens obtained from fishing-boats off Madras and specimens deposited in AMNH. Röckel et al. (1995) reported this species from Madras and Cuddalore.
We collected specimens from northern region (Table 6) by trawling in 5–50 m.
  Remarks. Conus bayani  is comparatively abundant at Periyakuppam and occurs frequently with C. amadis, C. monile and C. betulinus. The limited distribution of C. bayani to the Northern region could be due to its preference for sand bottoms. Kohn (2001) considered C. bayani as a deep-water species. However, at Periyakuppam, this species was found at depths <15 m. Specimens collected at Periyakuppam are larger (72 mm) in shell length than those reported (65 mm) by Röckel et al. (1995).

description: Background: Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and large vessel occlusion benefit from rapid access to mechanical thrombectomy in addition to intravenous thrombolysis. Prehospital triage algorithms to determine the optimal transport destination for AIS patients with unknown vessel status have so far only considered two alternatives: the nearest comprehensive (CSC) and the nearest primary stroke center (PSC). Objective: This study explores the importance of considering a larger number of PSCs during pre-hospital triage of AIS patients. Methods: Analysis was performed in random two-dimensional abstract geographic stroke care infrastructure environments and two models based on real-world geographic scenarios. Transport times to CSCs and PSCs were calculated to define sub-regions with specific triage properties. Possible transport destinations included the nearest CSC, the nearest PSC, and any of the remaining PSCs that are not closest to the scene, but transport to which would imply a shorter total time-to-CSC-via-PSC. Results: In abstract geographic environments, themedian relative size of the sub-region where a triage decision is required ranged from 34 to 92%. The median relative size of the sub-region where more than two triage options need to be considered ranged from 0 to 56%. The achievable reduction in time-to-thrombectomy (“benefit”) exceeded the increase in time-to-thrombolysis (“harm”) by a factor of 2 in 30.5–37.0%of the sub-region where more than two triage options need to be considered. Results were confirmed in geographic environments based on real-world urban and rural stroke care infrastructures. Conclusion: Pre-hospital triage algorithms for AIS patients that only take into account the nearest CSC and the nearest PSC as transport destinations may be unable to identify the optimal transport destination for a significant proportion of patients.

description: Spinal cord injury (SCI) involves damage to any part of the spinal cord which results in temporary or permanent changes in its function. Spinal cord secondary injury activates Rho-associated protein kinase 2 (ROCK2), which is involved in neuroinflammation and cell death by mediating secretion of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and CXC chemokines. Here we evaluated potential inhibitors of ROCK2, Caspase-1, and TNF-α from Cissus quadrangularis derived natural compounds and compared them with structural analogues of quadrangularin by molecular docking, followed by correlation using molecular dynamic simulations studies. The results clearly demonstrate that the naturally derived compounds, quadrangularin and luteolin potentially inhibit ROCK2 and Caspase-1 with high binding affinity, and showed stable conformation throughout simulation trajectory period. Interestingly, quadrangularin and its structural analogues demonstrate effective binding affinity against ROCK2, caspase-1, and TNF-α when compared to their respective known inhibitors. From our studies, we can infer that natural compounds derived from C. quadrangularis are potentially capable of inhibitory activity against ROCK2, Caspase-1, and TNF-α. These findings could help in identifying novel therapeutic drugs targeting SCI.
