Lateral root formation determines to a large extent the ability of plants to forage their environment and thus their growth. In Arabidopsis thaliana and other angiosperms, lateral root initiation requires radial cell expansion and several rounds of anticlinal cell divisions that give rise to a central core of small cells, which express different markers than the larger surrounding cells. These small central cells then switch their plane of divisions to periclinal, and give rise to seemingly morphologically similar daughter cells that have different identities and establish the different cell types of the new root. Although the execution of these anticlinal and periclinal divisions is tightly regulated and essential for the correct development of the lateral root, we know little about their geometrical features. Here we generate a four-dimensional reconstruction of the first stages of lateral root formation and analyze the geometric features of the anticlinal and periclinal divisions. Go 6983 cell line We identify that the periclinal divisions of the small central cells are morphologically dissimilar and asymmetric. We show that mother cell volume is different when looking at anticlinal versus periclinal divisions and the repeated anticlinal divisions do not lead to reduction in cell volume although cells are shorter. Finally, we show that cells undergoing a periclinal division are characterized by a strong cell expansion. Our results indicate that cells integrate growth and division to precisely partition their volume upon division during the first two stages of lateral root formation.Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been considered as novel regulators in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) can act as an oncogene in OSCC. This study intended to investigate whether lncRNA PART1 can exert its role in OSCC by regulating EZH2. The expression of PART1 in OSCC samples, tumors tissues, or OSCC cell lines was detected by qRT-PCR. The proliferation and apoptosis of OSCC cells were detected by CCK-8 and flow cytometry assays, respectively. The expression of PART1 and EZH2 were highly expressed in clinical OSCC tumors and cell lines. The expression level of PART1 was positively correlated to the size, clinical stage, and node metastasis of OSCC patients. Functionally, PART1 knockdown inhibited proliferation and facilitated apoptosis of OSCC cells. Mechanically, FUS interacted with PART1 and EZH2. Additionally, PART1 knockdown reduced the mRNA expression of EZH2, which was offset by FUS overexpression. The overexpression of FUS abrogated the effects of PART1 silence on proliferation and apoptosis of OSCC cells. The in vivo experiment revealed that PART1 knockdown inhibited tumor growth of OSCC cells in nude mice. This study indicated that PART1 exerts a carcinogenic role in OSCC by enhancing the stability of EZH2 protein.
To evaluate the 1-year cost-effectiveness between three different initial treatment strategies in autoantibody-negative rheumatoid arthritis(RA-) patients, according to 2010 criteria.

For this analysis we selected all RA- patients within the intermediate probability stratum of the tREACH trial. The tREACH had a treat-to-target approach, aiming for low disease activity(DAS<2.4) and treatment adjustments could occur every 3 months. Initial treatment strategies consisted of methotrexate 25mg/week(iMTX), hydroxychloroquine 400mg/day(iHCQ) or an oral glucocorticoids tapering scheme without DMARDs(iGCs). Data on Quality adjusted life-years(QALYs), measured with the EQ-5D-3L, healthcare and productivity costs were used.

Average QALYs(sd), for iMTX, iHCQ and iGCs were respectively 0.71(0.14), 0.73(0.14) and 0.71(0.15). The average total costs(sd) for iMTX, iHCQ and iGCs were respectively €10.832(14.763), €11.208 (12.801) and €10.502(11.973). Healthcare costs were mainly determined by biological costs, which were significantly lower in the iHCQ group compared to iGCs(p<.05). However, costs due to presenteeism were the highest in the iHCQ group(55%) followed by iMTX(27%) and iGCs(18%). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios(ICERs) did not differ between treatment strategies. At a willingness-to-pay level of €50.000, the Dutch threshold for reimbursement of medical care, iHCQ had the highest probability(38.7%) of being cost-effective, followed by iGCs(31.1%) and iMTX(30.2%).

iHCQ had the lowest healthcare and highest productivity costs, resulting in a non-significant ICER. However, iHCQ had the highest chance of being cost-effective at the Dutch WTP-threshold for healthcare reimbursement. Therefore, we believe that iHCQ is a good alternative for iMTX in autoantibody-negative RA patients, but validation is needed.

Negative consequences of alcohol (or secondhand effects) extend beyond drinkers to affect other people, including both known others (friends, family members, spouses/partners) and strangers. Secondhand effects of alcohol manifest across various social environments, including the places where people drink and the neighborhoods where they live. These neighborhoods are characterized by different levels of alcohol availability and degrees of residential social cohesion. Hence, social environments may confer risk or protect from harms from others' drinking. The current study explores (a) how drinking venues and neighborhood contexts relate to harms from other people's drinking (both known others and strangers), and (b) whether these associations vary by gender.

Using pooled data from the National Alcohol Survey and National Alcohol's Harms to Others Survey (N=5425), we regressed harms from various drinking others on social environment characteristics (drinking venues, alcohol availability and social cohesion) for the full sample and separately by gender. We used the false discovery rate method to adjust for multiple testing.

Overall, greater neighborhood social cohesion was associated with lower odds of harm from drinking others and, specifically, harm from drinking strangers. The effect of social cohesion was most pronounced for men.

Social cohesion was the most salient neighborhood factor associated with reduced alcohol-related harms from strangers. Directions for future research and policies to mitigate these harms are discussed.
