f crop residues, food and kitchen waste, livestock manure, cooking ash, animal bones, and human urine and faeces. The data can be potentially reused and further developed for the purpose of agricultural production analysis, socio-economic analysis, comparison to other regions, conceptualisation of waste and nutrient management, establishment of land use concepts, and further analysis on food security and healthy diets.This article contains data for the self-association of pyrene-labelled single Cys-mutants of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I). Mathematical models were developed to characterise the self-association events at different cysteine positions on apoA-I obtained as a function of protein concentration based on the multi-parametric spectrum of pyrene, particularly P-value and excimer emissions. The present work complements data related to the article entitled "Analysis of pyrene-labelled apolipoprotein A-I oligomerisation in solution Spectra deconvolution and changes in P-value and excimer formation" Tárraga et al. [1].Waste rocks material and acid mine drainage (AMD) in sulfur coal mining areas of Moscow brown coal basin lead to significant transformation of landscape components (soils, surface, and groundwaters). Most of the abandoned sulfide-bearing spoil heaps have not been reclaimed and toxic products of their weathering cause the risk of long-term soil contamination. In this article, we report original data on some physico-chemical properties and elemental composition of liquid and solid soil phases, waste dumps and AMD from twо abandoned spoil heaps of the Moscow basin and adjacent territories (the Tula region, Central Russia). Soil samples were collected from each genetic horizon of soil depth profile at sites affected by waste dumps and mine subsidence, as well as at natural sites. Waste material was sampled from the different parts of the spoil heaps. Sampling of AMD was performed in technogenic reservoirs near waste dumps. In displaced liquid phases (by ethanol) from soils and waste dump material, natural superficial waters and AMD pH-value, electrical conductivity (EC), the content and composition of readily soluble salts (by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)), as well as titratable acidity (H+and Al3+) and, water-soluble Fe (using UV/Vis spectrophotometry) were measured. In bulk soil samples organic carbon (Corg), exchangeable cations (Cа2+, Mg2+, H+, Al3+ in KCl-extracts) and hydrolytic acidity (in CH3COONa-extracts) were determined. The obtained data can be used to understand the behavior of сhemical elements in soil profiles polluted by coal mining; the negative impact of mine wastes on soil salinity; when identifying pollution levels of potentially hazardous elements in soils affected by coal mining and for complex remediation of spoil heaps in Moscow brown coal basin.Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is usually accompanied by anxiety symptoms and decreased expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which played an important role in promoting neuronal proliferation and survival. Methyl CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) is a positive mediator of BDNF and is regulated by miR-132-3p. In the present study, we explored the possible molecular mechanism of miR-132, focusing on the involvement of MeCP2 and BDNF in the formation of anxiety-like symptoms of PTSD. Single prolonged stress (SPS) was used to establish a model of PTSD in adult rats and the anxiety-like behavior was tested by the elevated plus-maze (EPM). The level of miR-132 in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) was increased and intraventricular injection of anti-miR-132 could significantly improve the anxiety-like behavior of rats exposed to SPS through MeCP2 and the subsequent upregulation of BDNF levels. Then tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB) and downstream signals, including MAP kinase ERK1/2 and phosphoinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathways, were activated by BDNF upregulation, and might participate in regulating dendritic complexity and the expression of postsynaptic density-95 (PSD95) and synapsin I in the PFC of SPS rats. Furthermore, we found that the apoptosis of cells in PFC induced by SPS procedure could be alleviated by miR-132 inhibition. Our results suggest that miR-132 might be involved in the formation of anxiety-like symptoms of adult rat PTSD models by targeting MeCP2, and this effect is related to BDNF/TrkB and its downstream ERK and Akt signaling pathways.In novel situations, where direct experience is lacking or outdated, humans must rely on mental simulations to predict future outcomes. This review discusses recent work on the neural circuits that support such inference-based behavior. We focus on two specific examples 1) using knowledge about the associative structure of the world to infer outcomes when direct experience is lacking; 2) inferring the current value of options when the desirability of the associated outcome has changed since the original learning experience. These two examples can be studied in the sensory preconditioning and devaluation tasks, respectively. We review results from studies in animals and humans suggesting that the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), together with the hippocampus and amygdala, is necessary for inference in both of these tasks. Together, these findings suggest that the OFC is a critical hub in the brain network that supports inference-based decision-making.Early caregiving experiences play a central role in shaping corticolimbic development and emotional learning and regulation. Given dynamic changes in corticolimbic maturation, the effects of caregiving experiences are likely to depend on the developmental timing of exposure. Cross-species evidence has identified timing-related differences in the effects of caregiving adversity. However, the extent to which developmental differences in associations between caregiving adversity and corticolimbic circuitry align with a sensitive period model has remained unclear. Converging evidence from studies of caregiver deprivation points to a sensitive period for caregiving influences on corticolimbic circuitry and emotional development during infancy. By contrast, differential associations between maltreatment and corticolimbic circuitry at specific ages in childhood and adolescence may reflect experience-dependent mechanisms of plasticity. Delineating sensitive periods of development and the precise experience-related mechanisms by which caregiving experiences influence corticolimbic development is essential for refining conceptual models and understanding risk and resilience following early adversity.Studies with Deaf and blind individuals demonstrate that linguistic and sensory experiences during sensitive periods have potent effects on neurocognitive basis of language. Native users of sign and spoken languages recruit similar fronto-temporal systems during language processing. By contrast, delays in sign language access impact proficiency and the neural basis of language. Analogously, early but not late-onset blindness modifies the neural basis of language. People born blind recruit 'visual' areas during language processing, show reduced left-lateralization of language and enhanced performance on some language tasks. Sensitive period plasticity in and outside fronto-temporal language systems shapes the neural basis of language.Humans develop in the context of environmental information that can be considered either experience-expectant or experience-dependent. Though the exact timing of sensitive period closures and consequences of environmental experiences have not been well delineated, early life is a period of increased vulnerability. While some forms of care (e.g., institutional care for children; representing the absence of experience-expectant caregiving) are not present in the evolutionary history of humans, it is likely that what is considered significant hardship today may have been more typical experience-dependent environmental information in the evolutionary timescale. Thus, assumptions that threatening or neglectful experiences are unexpected for the human child may not fit well in the scope of the broader timescale of human history. We argue that it is important to consider early caregiving experiences from the context of what has been expected in our evolutionary past rather than what is expected in modern sociocultural terms.Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is an enveloped virus that causes serious respiratory tract infection among immunocompromised populations especially haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. Here, we describe 3 cases of hMPV infection which led to mortality among post HSCT adults. 66 post HSCT adults enrolled between January 2017 and March 2019 at Dr. see more B. R. Ambedkar Institute Rotary Cancer Hospital, AIIMS, New Delhi, were followed up for a period varying from 16 days to 18 months for any episode of respiratory illness until March 2019. Real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) was used to detect the virus from appropriate specimens when symptoms of acute respiratory infection appeared. Samples from 88 out of a total of 172 episodes of suspected acute respiratory infection could be tested by rRT-PCR. Of these, 9 episodes were positive for hMPV. Three patients with hMPV associated lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) expired within 30 days of HSCT. The possible risk factors associated with mortality included LRTI, infection during early post-transplant period (first week following HSCT), absolute lymphocyte count less than 200/µl, absolute neutrophil count less than 500/µl, use of steroid within 30 days prior to infection and need for mechanical ventilation.
Tooth color changes followed by treatment with bioceramic materials are always a matter of concern.

The aim of the present
study was to compare tooth discoloration that occurs in human teeth filled with ProRoot WMTA (DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties, Tulsa, OK) and those filled with Nano Fast Cement (NFC) over the course of 3 months.

In this experimental study, Thirty human intact premolars were obtained. The roots of all teeth were removed by a horizontal cut about 2 mm below the cementoenamel junction. The pulp tissues were removed using a barbed broach (Mani, Tokyo, Japan).The teeth were randomly divided to 3 groups (n= 10) including the control (no material), ProRoot WMTA and NFC. The experimental materials were condensed into the crowns and the teeth ends were sealed with light-cure glass ionomer cement (GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). The color was assessed at T
(baseline; after preparation of the cavities but before placement of the materials), T
(immediately after placement of the filling material and provisional restoration), T
(after 4weeks of storage), and T
(after 12weeks) of storage.

The discoloration was evident in all teeth, immediately (T
) after applying MTA and NFC. The highest ΔΕ was noted in WMTA at 12 weeks, followed by NFC; however, there was no significant difference between the discolorations induced by these two materials.

Similar levels of clinically observable tooth discoloration were detected by using either WMTA or NFC.
