Protein localization and dynamics within a bacterial organelle

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Protein localization mechanisms dictate the functional and structural specialization of cells. Of the four polar surface organelles featured by the dimorphic bacterium Caulobacter crescentus , the stalk, a cylindrical extension of all cell envelope layers, is the least well characterized at the molecular level. Here we apply a powerful experimental scheme that integrates genetics with high-throughput localization to discover StpX, an uncharacterized bitopic membrane protein that modulates stalk elongation and is sequestered to the stalk. In stalkless mutants StpX is dispersed. Two populations of StpX were discernible within the stalk with different mobilities: an immobile one near the stalk base and a mobile one near the stalk tip. Molecular anatomy provides evidence that ( i ) the StpX transmembrane domain enables access to the stalk organelle, ( ii ) the N-terminal periplasmic domain mediates retention in the stalk, and ( iii ) the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain enhances diffusion within the stalk. Moreover, the accumulation of StpX and an N-terminally truncated isoform is differentially coordinated with the cell cycle. Thus, at the submicron scale the localization and the mobility of a protein are precisely regulated in space and time and are important for the correct organization of a subcellular compartment or organelle such as the stalk.
SUBSIDENCE IN MACEIO, BRAZIL, CHARACTERIZED BY DINSAR AND INVERSE MODELING

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract. The city of Maceió has been historically affected by cracks and sink events in buildings and city infrastructure. Availability of a consistent Sentinel 1 Mission dataset between 2014 and 2019 allows characterizing the undergoing crustal deformation process that provokes such effects. We processed a dataset of 81 SAR scenes using the DInSAR-SBAS time-series technique, which allowed us to obtain mean velocity of deformation and deformation time series. Detected displacement patterns show subsidence concentrated in the Mundaú lagoon coast in front of Mutange, Pinheiro and Levada neighbourhoods. Inversion of the results, using analytical models, locates a sill-like source at ∼400 m depth and with a radius of ∼0.8 km. Its depth would be compatible with re-activation of the Mutange fault system, possibly related to salt mining operations in the area. Further investigation is needed to better constrain the deformation source and to identify if the observed process was active before the analysed time span.
Optimal Glucose Target After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Matched Cohort Study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND: Hyperglycemia has been associated with poor outcomes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). However, there remains debate as to what optimal glucose targets should be in this patient population. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether we could identify an optimal glucose target for patients with aSAH. METHODS: We performed a post hoc analysis of the “clazosentan to overcome neurological ischemia and infarction occurring after subarachnoid hemorrhage” trial data set. Patients had laboratory results drawn daily for the entirety of their intensive care unit stay. Maximum blood glucose levels were assessed for a relationship with unfavorable outcomes using multiple logistic regression analysis. Maximum blood glucose levels were dichotomized based on the Youden index, which identified a maximum level of <9.2 mmol/L as the optimal cut point for prediction of unfavorable outcomes. Nearest neighbor matching was used to assess the relationship between maintaining glucose levels below the cut point and unfavorable functional outcomes (defined as a modified Rankin score of >2 at 3 mo post-aSAH). The matching was performed after calculation of a propensity score based on identified predictors of outcome and glucose levels. RESULTS: Three hundred eighty-nine patients were included in the matched analysis. Propensity scores were balanced on both the covariates and outcomes of interest. There was a significant average treatment effect (−0.143: 95% confidence interval −0.267 to −0.019) for patients who maintained glucose levels <9.2 mmol/L. CONCLUSION: Maintaining glucose levels below the identified cut point was associated with a decreased risk for unfavorable outcomes in this retrospective matched study.
WTO Law in Broader Perspective

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract This chapter presents a broader perspective on the World Trade Organization (WTO) law. It explains that WTO agreements often explicitly refer to obligations or standards established in context with other regimes. Thus, problems arise when treaties lay down objectives which collide with free trade, however, it could be reconciled by exceptions in the multilateral WTO Agreements. Moreover, customary law may affect the understanding and interpretation of WTO rules, especially when universal human rights and environmental standards are involved. The chapter mentions the possibility of controversy in line with the interplay between the WTO dispute settlement regime and specific mechanisms of dispute resolution under free trade agreements.
Early practice makes histology masters: The use of a formative assessment quiz to prepare histology learners for a high‐stakes final examination

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Assessment of learners in the anatomical sciences is a complex task as it not only tests students' fact knowledge, but also the analysis of visual information. Sometimes, novice histology learners must acquire image recognition skills of microscopic structures in a short time frame. This paper describes a strategy of offering first year dental students at the University of Michigan a short, non‐grade contributing, formative assessment quiz in order to better prepare them for a high‐stakes, final summative histology examination. Data collected over 7 years indicate that students, who made use of this formative assessment opportunity, performed significantly better in their summative examination than students, who did not. Especially early practice quiz users profited most. Students, who used the practice quiz until they achieved a perfect score, also had statistically higher final examination scores. Students, who did not use the practice quiz, had a significantly lower cumulative D1‐year Grade Point Average (D1‐GPA) than students, who did, indicating that academically weaker students often underuse supporting learning resources. In general, scores from the Dental Admission Test (DAT) were weak predictors of learning success in the DENT 510 histology course. In contrast, the D1‐GPA values had a medium strength positive correlation with final histology examination scores. The major problem that was encountered with this practice quiz strategy was that many students waited until close to the day of the final examination before taking advantage of this feedback opportunity, thereby reducing its potential benefit for improving their overall learning strategy for histology.
Multi-Criterial Analysis Tool to Design a Hybrid Ballistic Plate

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The presented research focuses on the concept of an advanced ballistic personal protection design, taking into account safety as well as performance requirements. The application of the multi-criterial analysis (MCA) allows for a comprehensive comparison of all the properties of materials and to select the optimal personal ballistic protection system, considering their mechanical and ballistic properties. The newly developed hybrid ballistic composites, consisting of two or three various components (variations of ballistic and/or non-ballistic textiles; hybrid ballistic plates—HBP), were evaluated via a multi-criterial analysis that considered a wide range of properties, describing behavior and safety usage, as well as the economical aspect of their fabrication.
Comparison of Several Antimonials in the Treatment of Experimental Schistosomiasis Mansoni in Mice

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

No data at all has yet been published on therapeutic indices of any drugs in any form of schistosomiasis. Recent reports from this Laboratory (1, 2) have described methods for testing the effects of drugs on experimental schistosomiasis mansoni in mice. The drug testing was of a rough screening nature and only a very crude classification of drugs into four groups was provisionally attempted: 1. Drugs that cleared most of the mice of worms and left an average of not over one worm per mouse. 2. Drugs that left an average of between one and five worms per mouse, caused a shift of most of the worms to the liver and reduced the proportion of worms paired to values below fifty per cent. 3. Drugs that during treatment caused a shift of most of the worms to the liver and a breakup of most worm pairs followed after the end of treatment by a reversal of these changes, but that never caused the average number of worms per mouse to fall below five.
Household Durable Goods Ownership in Tianjin, China

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The consumption structure in China has undergone a dramatic change since the economic reform started in late 1979. Durable goods ownership, an important aspect of overall consumption, has experi enced an even greater change both in variety and quantity. Analyses of general consumption in China are found in Lardy, Van der Gaag, Hu et al. and Zhang et al. 1 Quantitative analysis devoted solely to durable goods consumption in Chinese cities has rarely been undertaken.
[Epidemiological features of Candida infections detected in intensive care units and risk factors affecting mortality].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological features of nosocomial Candida infections in intensive care units and to detect the risk factors which increase the mortality rate. A total of 940 patients hospitalized in ICUs of Gulhane Military Medical Academy Haydarpasa Training Hospital, Istanbul, between January 01 and December 31, 2006 were prospectively enrolled into this study. Candida spp. were isolated from various clinical specimens (blood, urine, respiratory tract, wound) in 48 patients. Of these patients, 50% were male and 50% were female, and the mean age was 63.66 +/- 22.72 (age range: 8-92) years. The mean duration of hospital stay was 36.25 +/- 44.51 (min: 1, max: 90) days. Thirty five Candida infection attacks were observed in 29 of 48 patients. C. albicans was isolated in 18 infections and non-albicans Candida spp. in 17 infections. Nosocomial infection rate due to Candida spp. was 3.22 per 1000 patient-days. The most common Candida infections were bloodstream (42.9%) and urinary tract infections (37.1%). At the time of diagnosis, 89.6% of patients were being hospitalized for more than ten days and 69% of the patients were using three or more wide spectrum antibiotics. Diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases were the most frequently detected co-morbid diseases. The overall mortality rate was 55.2%. Predictors of adverse outcome were diabetes mellitus (p= 0.016), need for mechanical ventilation (p= 0.010) and infection with non-albicans Candida spp. (p= 0.002). In conclusion, Candida infections in the intensive care patients are associated with high mortality. Mortality due to Candida infections could be reduced by defining the risk factors and starting preemptive antifungal treatment to patients who are under risk.

Oxalate content of some Nigerian tubers using titrimetric and UV-spectrophotometric methods.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Tubers are basically premium crop in the Nigerian food system which serves the major source of carbohydrate in Human’s diets. Tubers contain some antinutrients (oxalate) which when eaten pose adverse effect on the body system. The amount of oxalate present in the commonly consumed Nigeria tubers was determined by using the titrimetry method and T80 PG UV/Visible spectrophotometer. The results obtained from both methods were statistically proved to be insignificantly different. The oxalate content obtained were 2.3 mg/100 g for Manihot esculentum, 2.38 mg/100 g for Colocasia esculenta, 1.53 mg/100 g for Xanthosoma sagittifolium, 1.28 mg/100 g for Xanthosoma roseum, 0.63mg/100g for Solanum tuberosum, 1.35mg/100g for Ipomoea batatas, 1.33mg/100g for Dioscorea esculentum, 0.46 mg/100 g for Dioscorea rotundata, 0.48 mg/100 g for Dioscorea dometorum and 1.16 mg/100 g for Dioscorea alata. The results show that these commonly consumed Nigerian tubers contains small quantity of oxalate and therefore can be consumed moderately on a regular basis except C. esculenta which contain the high level of oxalate which makes it least edible than other species.
A new method for loading mesoporous silica nanoparticles with drugs: Sol–gel synthesis using drug micelles as a template

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

It has been shown that mesoporous nanocontainers from SiO2 may be obtained by the sol–gel synthesis using drug (Miramistin) micelles as a template. The nanocontainers resulting from the combination of the stages of their synthesis and loading are characterized by a very high content of the drug (no less than 0.9 g per 1 g of SiO2). The kinetics of Miramistin desorption from the mesoporous particles into an aqueous medium has been studied under static and quasi-dynamic conditions. The desorption has been shown to rather strongly depend on pH. Possible mechanisms of the desorption process have been discussed.
Solving Two Stage Stochastic Programming Problems Using ADMM

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract

In this paper, we have dealt with the solution of a two-stage stochastic programming problem using ADMM. We have formulated the problem into a deterministic three-block separable optimization problem, and then we applied ADMM to solve it. We have established the theoretical convergence of ADMM to the optimal solution based on the concept of lower semicontinuity and the Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz property. We have compared ADMM with Progressive Hedging in terms of performance criteria using five benchmark problems from the literature. The comparison shows that ADMM outperforms Progressive Hedging.
Complete Placenta Previa: Ultrasound Biometry and Surgical Outcomes

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective To evaluate the relationship between surgical outcomes and ultrasound measurement of placental extension beyond the cervical os in women with placenta previa. Study Design This is a retrospective cohort study of singleton pregnancies with placenta previa undergoing third-trimester ultrasound and delivering at our institution from 2002 through 2011. For study purposes, an investigator measured placental extension, defined as the placental distance from the internal os across the placenta continuing out to the lowest placental edge. If morbidly adherent placentation was suspected, women were excluded. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were developed for pertinent surgical outcomes, and multivariate analysis was performed to determine the placental extension with the best predictive discriminatory zone. Results In total, 157 women had placenta previa, ultrasound, and delivery data: 86 (55%) had a placental extension of <40 mm, and 71 (45%) had a placental extension of ≥40 mm. Women with placental extension of ≥40 mm had increased surgical time, blood loss > 2,000 mL, blood transfusion, and rate of peripartum hysterectomy. After multivariate analysis, only peripartum hysterectomy and surgical time > 90 minutes remained significant, p ≤ 0.05 and p ≤ 0.01, respectively. Conclusion In women with placenta previa, the placental extension ultrasound measurement of ≥40 mm is a predictor of adverse surgical outcomes.
[Primary palpebral localization of a trabecular Merkel cell carcinoma (1 case)].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We report one case of Merkel cell carcinoma. They commonly arise on the eyelids of elderly patients. Others localisations are on the skin of the pelvis. Clinical aspects, histological study, associating morphological aspect, ultra-structural and immuno-histo-chemical studies are characteristics enough to differentiate this tumor others tumors of the skin like cutaneous malignant lymphoma. The origin of this tumor is still discussed, but sure neuro-endocrinal. Possibility of visceral metastases on a small number of cases (6 to 8%) must be consider when treated. Total surgical ablation should be obtained.

Staff have viewed these changes positively and report reduced levels of work-related stress. Further development and roll-out will improve patient safety and staff morale.
Understanding dormancy breakage and germination ecology of Cynara cardunculus (Asteraceae)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Summary Cynara cardunculus is a troublesome weed in temperate grazing lands. Cynara cardunculus achenes are usually dormant at dispersal and require alternating temperatures to terminate dormancy and germinate. Laboratory and glasshouse experiments were conducted to determine (i) the treatments able to terminate dormancy and (ii) the effect of environmental factors and agronomic practices on germination and emergence of non‐dormant (dry after‐ripened) achenes. Scarification, hydrogen peroxide and sodium hypochlorite promoted germination of dormant achenes. Dry after‐ripening and cold stratification were tested in two different populations. Dormancy of both populations was released from dormancy by dry after‐ripening. In contrast, cold stratification allowed dormancy release in just one of the populations, while the other was induced into secondary dormancy. Germination of non‐dormant (dry after‐ripened) achenes was maximum in a range of temperatures from 10 to 20°C and was inhibited at higher temperatures. Reduction of osmotic potential below −0.6 MPa led to a decrease in final germination. These results explain synchronic emergence of C. cardunculus seedlings in autumn after dormancy release during summer. Maximum seedling emergence was close to 60% at soil depths of 1 cm and only decreased as depth increased over 6 cm. In contrast, seedling emergence was not reduced by the presence of cover residues, while a flooding duration of 21 days was required to suppress emergence significantly. These results suggest that the deep burial of achenes and agronomic practices that take advantage of synchronic emergence of achenes could be useful tools leading to better long‐term management of C. cardunculus .
Study of fluids flow in microchannels

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This project involves the study of two fluid flows in PDMS and PMMA microchannels. The objective is to control the laminar fluid diffusion interface (LFDI) by varying parameters such as flow rate ratio, viscosity and under the influence of electric field. Finding the appropriate light source to excite fluorescence flowing in PDMS microchannel is a prerequisite to solve all the problems in this project. A real time automatic controlling interface is crucial to control and indicate the interface location of the laminar fluid. The detection module has an image spot where photocurrent signal is maximum which agrees with the imaging theory. It is found that Rhodamine B as fluorescence dye in PMMA microchannel cannot be excited by green light source. By using ultraviolet as light source, fluorescence (acid yellow 73) flowing in PDMS microchannel can be excited. It has been shown that with a greater flow rate ratio for fluorescence DI water, the channel holdup will be greater and hence more fluorescence will be excited. Blue light source is only able to excite fluorescence (acid yellow 73) flowing in PMMA microchannel. Viscosity, flowrate, electric field’s direction would have significant effect on the delay time of the interface control of fluids in PMMA microchannel. PDMS is relatively inexpensive, optically transparent, and biocompatible which can serve as an alternative to PMMA. PDMS provides a new platform for microchannel fluorescence detection system.
[Risk adjustment in external quality assurance with multivariate analysis].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Surgical clinics throughout Germany are under political and economical pressure. Comparing outcomes across clinics or ranking become more and more popular although there are no generally accepted and scientifically valid methods how to compare. Using original data of the external quality assurance project of the chamber of physicians of Westfalia-Lippia it is shown in this article that comparing raw data is often misleading. Differences in risk factors (case mix) have to be taken into consideration. A model using logistic regression methods to adjust for case mix in legality and morbidity of hip fractures is proposed. A ranking list before and after adjusting for risk factors shows partly dramatic changes. One clinic for example changed from position 97 (out of one hundred) to position 26.
