Certain transglucanases can covalently graft cellulose and mixed-linkage β-glucan (MLG) as donor substrates onto xyloglucan as acceptor substrate and thus exhibit cellulosexyloglucan endotransglucosylase (CXE) and MLGxyloglucan endotransglucosylase (MXE) activities in vivo and in vitro. However, missing information on factors that stimulate or inhibit these hetero-transglucosylation reactions limits our insight into their biological functions. To explore factors that influence hetero-transglucosylation, we studied Equisetum fluviatile hetero-trans-β-glucanase (EfHTG), which exhibits both CXE and MXE activity, exceeding its xyloglucanxyloglucan homo-transglucosylation (XET) activity. Enzyme assays employed radiolabelled and fluorescently labelled oligomeric acceptor substrates, and were conducted in vitro and in cell walls (in situ). With whole denatured Equisetum cell walls as donor substrate, exogenous EfHTG (extracted from Equisetum or produced in Pichia) exhibited all three activities (CXE, MXE, XET) in competition with each other. Acting on pure cellulose as donor substrate, the CXE action of Pichia-produced EfHTG was up to approximately 300% increased by addition of methanol-boiled Equisetum extracts; there was no similar effect when the same enzyme acted on soluble donors (MLG or xyloglucan). The methanol-stable factor is proposed to be expansin-like, a suggestion supported by observations of pH dependence. Screening numerous low-molecular-weight compounds for hetero-transglucanase inhibition showed that cellobiose was highly effective, inhibiting the abundant endogenous CXE and MXE (but not XET) action in Equisetum internodes. Furthermore, cellobiose retarded Equisetum stem elongation, potentially owing to its effect on hetero-transglucosylation reactions. This work provides insight and tools to further study the role of cellulose hetero-transglucosylation in planta by identifying factors that govern this reaction.Skeletal elements have a diverse range of shapes and sizes specialized to their various roles including protecting internal organs, locomotion, feeding, hearing, and vocalization. The precise positioning, size, and shape of skeletal elements is therefore critical for their function. During embryonic development, bone forms by endochondral or intramembranous ossification and can arise from the paraxial and lateral plate mesoderm or neural crest. This review describes inductive mechanisms to position and pattern bones within the developing embryo, compares and contrasts the intrinsic vs extrinsic mechanisms of endochondral and intramembranous skeletal development, and details known cellular processes that precisely determine skeletal shape and size. Key cellular mechanisms are employed at distinct stages of ossification, many of which occur in response to mechanical cues (eg, joint formation) or preempting future load-bearing requirements. Rapid shape changes occur during cellular condensation and template establishment. Specialized cellular behaviors, such as chondrocyte hypertrophy in endochondral bone and secondary cartilage on intramembranous bones, also dramatically change template shape. Once ossification is complete, bone shape undergoes functional adaptation through (re)modeling. We also highlight how alterations in these cellular processes contribute to evolutionary change and how differences in the embryonic origin of bones can influence postnatal bone repair.In this paper, we draw on empirical research and theoretical models of refugee and posttrauma mental health to propose the "Psychological Interaction with Environment (PIE) Matrix Model" of refugee mental health. This model focuses on the mental health of adult refugees and proposes that psychological factors and the external environment interact to influence mental health outcomes and functioning for individuals with refugee backgrounds. Environmental factors include adversity faced before, during, and after the migration journey, including adversity faced in a resettlement or postdisplacement environment. Psychological factors refer to psychological (i.e., cognitive and emotional) mechanisms that individuals may use to cope with adversity. We posit that individuals from refugee backgrounds are likely to show individual differences in psychological processes that may protect against or underpin the development and maintenance of psychopathology following exposure to trauma and displacement. The PIE Matrix Model proposes a framework to guide intervention by identifying key pathways by which psychological and environmental factors impact one another. We suggest that psychological interventions can be targeted according to the kind and level of support different individuals may require, based on individualized and context-driven assessments of the interaction between environmental and psychological factors at any given point in time. This model draws on existing models of refugee adaptation and highlights the need for longitudinal and experimental research to explain the interaction between these factors and their causal impact on refugee mental health.
Although hematologic review criteria for general hospitals have been established, they may be insufficient for cancer hospitals. see more This study aimed to establish the appropriate review criteria for hematology analyzers in cancer hospitals.
A total of 1003 samples from our hospital were randomly selected for blood smear preparation and microscopic review. The review criteria of the International Consensus Group for Hematology Review (ICGH) and Chinese consensus group were used to obtain the review, true-negative (TN), true-positive (TP), false-negative (FN), and false-positive (FP) rates, as well as the triggered rules. Our review criteria were established by comparing flag or numeric value information of TP and FP samples, adjusting rules to obtain better efficiency, a low slide review rate, and an acceptable FN rate.
Overall, 197 (19.64%) samples showed positive smear findings. Compared to the ICGH criteria, the slide review rate of the newly established criteria declined from 51.25% to 39.28%, and the TP and TN rates increased from 17.
