more effective in bone remodeling when the musculoskeletal loading is more intense and of short duration and, under these conditions, less mineralized regions are more positively impacted.Sugarcane is an important crop in Southern Iran for agri-food, energy, and pharmaceutical industries. Among the pathogens that colonize sugarcane, mycotoxigenic Fusarium species are reason of serious concern for both their pathogenicity on plants and ability to produce harmful mycotoxins to humans and animals. We studied 104 Fusarium strains, selected within a wider Fusarium set isolated from sugarcane in Southern Iran, for molecular identification, phylogeny and mycotoxin analyses. Most of Fusarium strains belonged to Fusarium fujikuroi Species Complex (FFSC) and identified mainly as F. proliferatum, at minor extent as F. sacchari, and rarely as F. thapsinum, and F. verticillioides. Moreover, 14 strains identified as FFSC could not be assigned to any known species, although they were phylogenetically closely related to F. andiyazi, likely representing a new phylogenetic species. A subset of FFSC strains were analyzed for in vitro production of fumonisins (FBs), beauvericin (BEA), and enniatins (ENNs). JAK inhibitor Fusarium proliferatum strains produced FBs at high amount, and, at a lesser extent, BEA, and ENNs; F.sacchari produced only BEA and B ENNs at very low level; Fusarium sp. strains produced only B ENNs. The paper provides new insights on the genetic diversity of Fusarium species and their mycotoxin profile occurring on sugarcane in Iran.The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) exert vital function in the regulation of energy metabolism, which were considered as promising targets of metabolic syndrome. Until now, PPARδ/γ dual agonist is rarely reported, and thereby the pharmacologic action of PPARδ/γ dual agonist is still unclear. In this study, we identified a dual PPARδ/γ partial agonist 6 (ZLY06) based on the cyclization strategy of PPARα/δ dual agonist GFT505. ZLY06 revealed excellent pharmacokinetic profiles suitable for oral medication. Moreover, ZLY06 markedly improved glucolipid metabolism without weight gain, and alleviated fatty liver by promoting the β-oxidation of fatty acid and inhibiting hepatic lipogenesis. In contrast, weight gain and hepatic steatosis were observed in Rosiglitazone, a widely used PPARγ full agonist. All of these results indicated that ZLY06 exhibits potential benefits on metabolic syndrome, while no adverse effects related to PPARγ full agonist.NEDDylation process regulates multiple physiological functions and signaling pathways, which are still in an equilibrium that favors the survival and proliferation of tumor cells. Unlike inhibitors, NEDDylation agonists are rarely studied. In this work, novel 1,2,4-triazine-dithiocarbamate derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activity against MGC-803, PC-3 and EC-109 cells. Among them, compound K3 displayed the most potent activity MGC-803, PC-3 and EC-109 cells with IC50 values of 2.35, 5.71 and 10.1 μM, respectively, which were more potent than 5-FU. Further cellular mechanisms suggested that compound K3 inhibited the cell viability, induced proliferation inhibition, arrested cell cycle at G2/M phase and induced cell apoptosis in MGC-803 and HGC-27 cells. Importantly, compound K3 could interact with NAE1 to promote the NEDDylation of MGC-803 and HGC-27 cells. The promotion of NEDDylation resulted in the degradation of c-IAP and YAP/TAZ, which leads to the induction of cell apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation in MGC-803 and HGC-27 cells. Therefore, as a NEDDylation agonist, compound K3 could effectively inhibit gastric cancer cells. Here, we reported NEDDylation promotion induced by compound K3, which could inhibit the cancer cell lines MGC-803 and HGC-27 and induce the cancer cell apoptosis via prompting the degradation of c-IAP and YAP/TAZ.
Childhood trauma, in particular childhood sexual abuse (CSA), and unmet sexuality and intimacy needs are prevalent among people with psychosis spectrum disorders. The association between CSA and sexuality and intimacy needs over time in adults with psychosis spectrum disorders were examined.

Patients (n=1119) were recruited as part of the Genetic Risk and OUtcome of Psychosis (GROUP) study, a representative cohort of patients with non-affective psychotic disorder. At baseline, three-year and six-year follow-up, sexuality and intimacy needs were assessed with the Camberwell Assessment of Needs. CSA was assessed with the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire.

At baseline, sexuality (26%) and intimacy (40%) needs were prevalent; 90% of these needs remained unmet. Cross-sectionally, CSA was associated with sexuality needs (OR=1.68, 95% CI 1.13-2.04) and intimacy needs (OR=1.75, 95% CI 1.04- 1.77). Childhood emotional abuse (CEA) was also cross-sectionally associated with sexuality and intimacy needs. Others forms of trauma were not. Prospectively, CSA predicted incidence of a sexuality need (HR=2.1, 95% CI 1.23-3.74) as well as an intimacy need (HR=1.7, 95% CI 1.11-2.66), as did CEA (sexuality HR=1.8, 95% CI 1.11-2.89; intimacy HR=1.4, 95% CI 1.03-1.96). CSA and CEA were not associated with persistence of sexuality or intimacy.

CSA and CEA are associated with a higher prevalence and incidence of sexuality and intimacy needs in patients with psychotic disorders. High rates of unmet sexuality and intimacy needs may indicate an underlying need for trauma-related treatment as well as a need for novel interventions targeting these needs.

DTMUV nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) contains three potential predicted N-linked glycosylation sites at residues 130, 175 and 207. In this study, we found that mutations at these sites affect the molecular weight of recombinant NS1, as assessed by western blot assays; however, the mutations do not affect their subcellular localization in the cytoplasm, as assessed by colocalization assays. Four recombinant viruses substituting the asparagine (N) residues at N130, N175, N207 or N130/N175/N207 of NS1 with alanine (A) residues were generated using rDTMUV-i, an infectious cDNA clone of the DTMUV CQW1 strain. Deglycosylation assays of the mutant virus NS1 were performed using endoglycosidases Endo H or PNGase F treatment in both mammalian and avian cells. The NS1-WT, NS1-N130A, NS1-N175A and NS1-N207A showed a shift in migration to 37 kDa after digestion with both endoglycosidases, which further confirmed that N130, N175 and N207 were the glycosylation sites of DTMUV NS1. Compared to the parental rDTMUV, the single mutants impaired viral multiplication in vitro, while the nonglycosylated virus rDTMUV-NS1-N130A/N175A/N207A showed a 5-fold to 178-fold decrease in viral titers and smaller plaque sizes. Notably, all mutant viruses were still highly virulent to duck embryos, but the embryos inoculated with rDTMUV-NS1-N130A/N175A/N207A started to die on the fourth day, which exhibited a prolonged time to death compared to that of rDTMUV. Moreover, rDTMUV-NS1-N130A/N175A/N207A was attenuated in vivo, showing no mortality and producing significantly lower viral titers in heart, spleen, kidney, brain and thymus as well as 2-fold to 3-fold lower viremia at 3 and 5 days post infection. Overall, our results indicated that N130, N175 and N207 are N-linked glycosylation sites of DTMUV NS1, which play crucial roles in viral multiplication, viremia and virulence in vitro and in vivo.Research has shown that social media content that has not been digitally altered may help support positive body image. However, the effects of adding labels to such images has received little research attention. This study compared the effects of selfies that were edited, unedited, and unedited + labeled. A sample of 350 young women, mean age (SD) = 21.87 (2.28) years, were randomly allocated to one of three conditions and completed pre and post exposure measures of state body image and mood, as well as trait risk and protective factors. Findings revealed that participants allocated to the unedited + labeled condition reported greater increases in state appearance satisfaction as compared to those who viewed the edited selfies. In addition, participants with higher levels of social media literacy benefited most from the unedited + labeled selfies. Findings suggest that selfies bearing a label indicating that they have not been edited may be more helpful for body image among young women as comapred to edited selfies. Thus, labels could represent useful social marketing tools on social media and contribute to efforts to increase the realism of social media imagery.
Few studies have highlighted multiple psychosocial and physical outcomes in patients with COVID-19 infection after recovery. However, the data from developing countries is limited.

To evaluate psychological morbidity, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), fatigue, and perceived stigma among patients with COVID-19 after recovery from the acute phase of COVID-19 infection.

In a cross-sectional online survey, 206 adult patients (age>18 years), recovered from COVID-19 infection completed the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4), the Impact of Events Scale-Revised (IES-R), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), 4 items self-designed questionnaire evaluating cognitive deficits and self-designed questionnaire to evaluate perceived stigma. Additionally, they completed the information about demographic and clinical information.

The prevalence of anxiety, depressive symptoms, and PTSD in the study sample was 24.8 %, 23.8 %, and 30 % respectively. About three-fifths of the participants (61.2 %) had at least one fat19 experience psychological morbidities, fatigue, cognitive problems, and stigma. Efforts should be made to take care of these issues in routine post-COVID follow-up care.Silver nanoparticles are well-known for their antimicrobial effect. However, they are potentially toxic in high doses. We explored the possibility of enhancing the bactericidal effect of low concentrations of silver nanoparticles with blue light femtosecond laser irradiation, since such concentrations are less toxic. The growth dynamics of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogenes and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus grown in pre-synthesized silver nanoparticles were measured with or without pre-irradiation with 50 mW and 400 nm femtosecond laser irradiation. With each bacterium, combined treatment with laser and silver nanoparticles significantly reduced bacterial growth, indicating that this form of treatment could be beneficial in the ongoing efforts to reduce the deleterious effects of antibiotic resistant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The combined treatment was more antimicrobial than treatment with silver nanoparticles alone or photo-irradiation alone. P. aeruginosa and L. monocytogenes were more susceptible to the bactericidal effects of silver nanoparticles, and the combination of laser treatment and silver nanoparticles than MRSA.
