ving the microarchitecture of subchondral bone. Activation of the Erk pathway by irisin plays an important role in reducing osteocyte apoptosis in vitro.Scoliosis is defined as the three-dimensional (3D) structural deformity of the spine with a radiological lateral Cobb angle (a measure of spinal curvature) of ≥10° that can be caused by congenital, developmental or degenerative problems. However, those cases whose etiology is still unknown, and affect healthy children and adolescents during growth, are the commonest form of spinal deformity, known as adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). In AIS management, early diagnosis and the accurate prediction of curve progression are most important because they can decrease negative long-term effects of AIS treatment, such as unnecessary bracing, frequent exposure to radiation, as well as saving the high costs of AIS treatment. Despite efforts made to identify a method or technique capable of predicting AIS progression, this challenge still remains unresolved. Genetics and epigenetics, and the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies, open up new avenues to not only clarify AIS etiology, but to also identify potential biomarkers that can substantially improve the clinical management of these patients. This review presents the most relevant biomarkers to help explain the etiopathogenesis of AIS and provide new potential biomarkers to be validated in large clinical trials so they can be finally implemented into clinical settings.In this study, the role of calcium/calmodulin (Ca2+/CaM) and melatonin (Mel) as two signal molecules in inducing systemic salt tolerance of Dracocephalum kotschyi Boiss. was investigated. Salinity stress (100 mM NaCl) reduced plant growth and induced ionic, osmotic, and oxidative damages in D. kotschyi leaves. Detection of cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]cyt) by the Fura-2 method and the measurement of endogenous Mel by GC-MS demonstrated that salinity induced Ca2+ burst and increased endogenous Mel content in D. kotschyi leaves. Root pretreatment with 5 mM Ca2+ or 100 μM Mel recovered plant growth, reduced leaf electrolytic leakage, H2O2, and MDA contents and improved membrane integrity not only at the application site (roots), but also at the untreated distal parts (leaves) under salt stress. Rhizospheric treatment with Mel and Ca2+ triggered systemic tolerance in D. kotschyi, as judged from improving RWC, increasing proline content, modulating Na+, K+, and Ca2+ homeostasis, and enhancing the activities of SOD, CAT, APX, and POD in the leaves of salt-stressed plants. Mel augmented [Ca2+]cyt, but the rhizospheric application of Ca2+ antagonists impaired the latter responses. Furthermore, root pretreatment with Ca2+ increased Mel content, but the application of p-chlorophenylalanine (as an inhibitor of Mel biosynthesis) decreased the above attributes in the leaves of Ca2+-treated plants, leading to an arrest in the Ca2+-induced systemic salt tolerance. These novel results suggest that interaction of Ca2+/CaM and Mel is involved in overcoming salt-induced ionic, osmotic, and oxidative damages and Ca2+ and Mel may act as long-distance signals for inducing systemic salt tolerance in D. kotschyi.In the nitrogen fixation process, iron plays a vital role by being part of many symbiotic proteins, such as nitrogenase and leghemoglobin, in an active symbiosis. Excess or insufficient iron in active nitrogen fixation negatively affects the entire process. In Lotus japonicus nodules, ferritin is expressed at the initial stages of nodule development and increases at the nodule senescence stage to mobilize iron release during that stage. selleck chemical In this study, we investigated the effects of overexpressing and suppressing ferritin on nitrogen fixation. Acetylene reduction activity revealed that nitrogen fixation is affected by the overexpression of ferritin at high iron concentrations, but at low iron concentrations, higher nitrogen fixation was observed in ferritin-suppressed plants. qRT-PCR data indicated that suppression of ferritin in nodules induces antioxidant genes, such as superoxide dismutase, dehydroascorbate reductase and ascorbate peroxidase, to detoxify reactive oxygen species. Our data suggest that suppressing ferritin in the nodules is effective for higher nitrogen fixation under iron deficient conditions. Overaccumulated ferritin in nodule is effective under the higher iron conditions, such as senescence state.Adults with mobility related disabilities (MRDs) represent an underserved group with a high prevalence of overweight/obesity and limited options for weight management. We previously demonstrated clinically meaningful 12-month weight loss in adults with MRDs (-6.2%, 36% ≥5% of baseline weight) using an enhanced Stop Light Diet (eSLD) delivered using at home face-to-face behavioral sessions and optional physical activity. However, the costs/logistics associated with intervention delivery by individual home visits limits the potential for scaling and implementation of this approach. Thus, we will conduct a two-arm randomized trial in 128 overweight/obese adults with MRDs to compare weight loss (6 mos.) and maintenance (12 mos.) between interventions utilizing the eSLD, behavioral counseling, and increased physical activity delivered to individual participants in their homes or delivered to groups of participants in their homes remotely via video conferencing. The primary aim will compare weight loss between interventions arms across 6 months. Secondarily, we will compare weight loss (0-18 mos.), the proportion of participants who achieve clinically meaningful weight loss (≥5%) from 0 to 6 and 0 to18 months, and changes in quality of life from 0 to 6 and 0 to 18 months between interventions arms. We will also conduct cost, cost-effectiveness and contingent valuation comparisons and explore the influence of behavioral session attendance, compliance with the recommendations for diet and physical activity, self-monitoring of diet and physical activity, barriers to physical activity, sleep quality, and medications on weight change across 6 and 18 months.
