SPG-178 remained on the surface and many cells that covered it formed fibrous tissue or mesothelium.

Self-assembling peptide hydrogel SPG-178 has potential as a tool for preventing PF.

PePIP2;7, a leaf-specific aquaporin gene in bamboo, is upregulated under abiotic stresses. Overexpressing PePIP2;7 confers abiotic stresses tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis plant and yeast. Aquaporins (AQPs) participate in the regulation of water balance in plants. However, the function of AQPs in bamboo remains unclear. Here, PePIP2;7 was identified as a leaf-specific aquaporin gene in moso bamboo based on the expression analysis of transcriptome data and PCR. In situ hybridization further indicated that PePIP2;7 was mainly expressed in mesophyll cells of mature leaves, while in immature leaves it was dominant in blade edge cells followed by mesophyll cells. Interestingly, PePIP2;7 was strongly expressed in the mesophyll cells near bulliform cells of immature leaves, suggesting that PePIP2;7 might function in water transport and contribute to leaf unfolding. The transient expression assay showed that PePIP2;7 was a plasma membrane intrinsic protein.

The transient expression assay showed that PePIP2;7 was a plasma membrane intrinsic protein. Furthermore, PePIP2;7 was upregulated under abiotic stresses such as high light, drought, and NaCl. Compared with Col-0, transgenic Arabidopsis plants overexpressing PePIP2;7 had better seed germination rate, longer taproot length, higher SOD activity, and lower MDA content under abiotic stresses. Besides, yeasts expressing PePIP2;7 also had higher tolerance to stress compared to the control. Taken together, our results show that PePIP2;7 is leaf-specific and involved in stress response, which provides new insights into aquaporin function in bamboo.
Bone and soft tissue tumours are often incidental findings in children. see more Because they are usually benign tumours, nonspecialised radiologists generally have little experience in the diagnosis and differentiation from malignant tumours. Various imaging techniques are used in the diagnosis of skeletal tumours.

Imaging techniques used to evaluate bone and soft tissue tumours include sonography, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

An algorithm to determine malignancy of bone and soft tissue tumours in children is proposed.

By using the presented algorithms, further diagnostic procedures such as biopsies can be avoided in the majority of children with bone and soft tissue tumours. Aggressive bone lesions and unclear soft tissue tumours are guided to biopsy to confirm diagnosis.

The algorithms presented are based on the proposals of European professional societies and have been adapted by the authors for use in children and adolescents.

In the clarification of soft tissue tumours, sonography is the first diagnostic tool; depending on the sonographic findings, MRI is the technique for further clarification. Biopsy confirmation of the diagnosis in unclear cases or in cases of probable malignancy should be carried out in apaediatric oncology centre.

(khat), is a β-keto analogue of amphetamine, sharing not only the phenethylamine structure, but also the amphetamine-like stimulant effects. Synthetic cathinones are derivatives of the naturally occurring cathinone that largely entered the recreational drug market at the end of 2000s. The former "legal status", impressive marketing strategies and their commercial availability, either in the so-called "smartshops" or via the Internet, prompted their large spread, contributing to their increasing popularity in the following years. As their popularity increased, the risks posed for public health became clear, with several reports of intoxications and deaths involving these substances appearing both in the social media and scientific literature. The regulatory measures introduced thereafter to halt these trending drugs of abuse have proved to be of low impact, as a continuous emergence of new non-controlled derivatives keep appearing to replace those prohibited. Users resort to synthetic cathinones due to their psychostimulant properties but are often unaware of the dangers they may incur when using these substances. Therefore, studies aimed at unveiling the pharmacological and toxicological properties of these substances are imperative, as they will provide increased expertise to the clinicians that face this problem on a daily basis. The present work provides a comprehensive review on history and legal status, chemistry, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, adverse effects and lethality in humans, as well as on the current knowledge of the neurotoxic mechanisms of synthetic cathinones.
Hip fracture rates in Botswana were used to create a FRAX® model for fracture risk assessment.

This paper describes the development and characteristics of a country-specific FRAX model for Botswana.

Age-specific and sex-specific incidence of hip fracture and national mortality rates was incorporated into a FRAX model for Botswana. Ten-year fracture probabilities were compared with those from African countries having a FRAX model and African Americans from the USA.

The probabilities of hip fracture and major osteoporotic fracture were low compared with those from South Africa (Black and Coloured) and US Blacks. Probabilities were marginally higher than for Tunisia.

The creation of a FRAX model is expected to help guide decisions about the prevention and treatment of fragility fractures in Botswana.
