Tumour-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic condition characterized by decreased tubular phosphate reabsorption. The purpose of this study was to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) and microarchitecture in six TIO patients compared with eighteen healthy controls.

Volumetric BMD and microarchitecture were evaluated by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computerized tomography (HR-pQCT), and areal BMD was evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).Differences between groups were significant for p-value<.05.

All TIO subjects were healthy until development of diffuse bone pain and multiple skeletal fractures and deformities. At baseline, sPi andTmPi/GFR were low and patients were on vitamin D and phosphate replacement at the study.

Compared with controls, TIO patients had lower aBMD at lumbar spine and hip, and lower vBMD at trabecular, cortical and entire bone, at distal radius (R) and distal tibia (T) Dtrab (R=118.3×177.1; T=72.3×161.3gHA/cm
); Dcomp (R=782.3×866.5; T=789.1×900.9gHA/cm
); and Dtotal (R=234.5×317; T=167.1×295.8gHA/cm
). Bone microarchitecture was very heterogeneous among patients and significantly different from controls lowerCt.Th (R=0.59×0.80; T=0.90×1.31mm), BV/TV (R=0.09×0.14; T=0.06×0.13) and Tb.N(R=1.46×2.10; T=0.93×1.96mm
); and also higher Tb.Sp (R=0.70×0.41; T=1.28×0.45mm) and Tb.1/N.SD(R=0.42×0.18; T=0.87×0.20mm).

In this original study of TIO patients, DXA and HR-pQCT evaluation identified lower areal and volumetric BMD and severely impaired microarchitecture at cortical and trabecular bones, which probably contribute to bone fragility and fractures.

Increasing GST density represents a strategy to enhance the yield of these chemicals; however, the gene regulatory network that controls GST initiation remains unclear. In a previous study of Artemisia annua L., we found that a HD-ZIP IV transcription factor, AaHD1, promotes GST initiation by directly regulating AaGSW2. Here, we identified two AaHD1-interacting transcription factors, namely AaMIXTA-like 2 (AaMYB16) and AaMYB5. Through the generation and characterization of transgenic plants, we found that AaMYB16 is a positive regulator of GST initiation, whereas AaMYB5 has the opposite effect. Notably, neither of them regulates GST formation independently. Rather, they act competitively, by interacting and modulating AaHD1 promoter binding activity. check details Additionally, the phytohormone jasmonic acid (JA) was shown to be associated with the AaHD1-AaMYB16/AaMYB5 regulatory network through transcriptional regulation via a JASMONATE-ZIM DOMAIN (JAZ) protein repressor. These results bring new insights into the mechanism of GST initiation through regulatory complexes, which appear to have similar functions in a range of vascular plant taxa.
Exotic diseases pose a significant risk to horse health and welfare. Several stakeholder groups, including primary care veterinarians, share responsibility for maintaining freedom from pathogens that cause exotic diseases. However, little is known about the current state of exotic disease preparedness within the British horse industry.

The aim of this study was to explore equine veterinarians' experiences of, and attitudes towards, exotic disease preparedness in Great Britain.

This is a qualitative interview-based study.

Semistructured interviews were conducted with 14 primary care equine veterinarians in Great Britain. Participants were purposively selected to include perspectives across varying levels of experience, clientele and location. All interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis.

Three themes were developed (a) the reactive generalist, relating to participants' self-concept of their role as primary care practitioners; (b) working within the bounds of. Additional support provided to frontline veterinarians, such as skills-based training (ie, clinical reasoning and collaborative relationship building), accessible and trusted emergency support networks and clear expectations and responsibilities during an outbreak are recommended to optimise exotic disease preparedness.
To apply an innovative three-dimensionally printed tooth model to investigate the efficacy of three ultrasonically activated irrigation (UAI) systems in removing multispecies biofilms from dentine samples.

Three-dimensionally printed teeth with a curved root canal were fabricated with a standardized slot in the apical third of the root to achieve precision fit of human root dentine specimens. Multispecies biofilms including Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus mitis and Campylobacter rectus were developed in the root canal for 21days. The canals were allocated to be irrigated with 1% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) using a syringe and needle or ultrasonically activated NaOCl with a stainless-steel file (Irrisafe), a conventional nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) file (CK) or a blue heat-treated Ni-Ti file (Endosonic Blue). Infected root canals irrigated with distilled water served as controls. Bacterial reduction was determined by colony-forming unit (CFU) counting (n=20), whilst biofilms were analysed using confocal loval from dentine in this standardized root canal model.
UAI with different inserts had differential antibiofilm effects. The blue heat-treated Ni-Ti ultrasonic insert resulted in the greatest antibacterial and biofilm removal from dentine in this standardized root canal model.Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a disease spectrum characterized by the intense infiltration/accumulation of Langerhans' cells in the affected tissues. Eosinophilic granuloma is the mildest form of LCH which mainly affects the skull, mandible, ribs and femur in children and young adults but rarely occurs in the maxilla. Here, we describe an unusual case of eosinophilic granuloma affecting the tissues adjacent to tooth #25 and tooth #46 (FDI numbering system) in a 35-year-old male. Although lesions underwent clinical remission after local radiotherapy, a new lesion appeared 11 months after initial therapy in tooth #18, indicating recurrence of eosinophilic granuloma. Subsequently, the patient was treated with corticosteroid therapy, achieved remission and is disease free after 3 years of follow-up.
