Protein‐carbohydrate ingestion alters Vps34 cellular localization independent of changes in kinase activity in human skeletal muscle

New Findings What is the central question of the study? Is Vps34 a nutrient‐sensitive activator of mTORC1 in human skeletal muscle? What is the main finding and its importance? We show that altering nutrient availability, via protein‐carbohydrate feeding, does not increase Vps34 kinase activity in human skeletal muscle. Instead, feeding increased Vps34‐mTORC1 co‐localization in parallel to increased mTORC1 activity. These findings may have important implications in the understanding nutrient‐induced...

Evaluation of Acute Visual Assessment Documentation of Periorbital Trauma Patients: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons versus Accident and Emergency Doctors

Published data has shown that 30% of periorbital trauma patients will develop devastating ocular injury if missed.1 Recently, Myuran found that “this could be due to clinicians’ lack of knowledge and/or training that periorbital trauma is associated with ocular injury and how to document a thorough eye examination”.2 Preservation of visual capacity is highly dependent on rapid assessment, examination, and diagnosis following trauma to the periorbital area.

Metabolic Profiling by UPLC–Orbitrap–MS/MS of Liver from C57BL/6 Mice with DSS-Induced Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Liver disorder often occurs in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); however, the changes in IBD-induced liver disorder at the intrinsic molecular level (chiefly metabolites) and therapeutic targets are still poorly characterized. First, a refined and translationally relevant model of DSS chronic colitis in C57BL/6 mice was established, and cecropin A and antibiotics were used as interventions. We found that the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 in the...

Cytokine Storm in COVID-19 Patients, Its Impact on Organs and Potential Treatment by QTY Code-Designed Detergent-Free Chemokine Receptors

The novel coronavirus is not only causing respiratory problems, but it may also damage the heart, kidneys, liver, and other organs; in Wuhan, 14 to 30% of COVID-19 patients have lost their kidney function and now require either dialysis or kidney transplants. The novel coronavirus gains entry into humans by targeting the ACE2 receptor that found on lung cells, which destroy human lungs through cytokine storms, and this leads to hyperinflammation, forcing the immune cells to destroy healthy cells....

Abstract Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) is one of seven mammalian homologs of silent information regulator 2 (Sir2) and an NAD+‐dependent deacetylase; however, its critical role in lymphangiogenesis remains to be explored. We investigate SIRT2 mediated regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGFD) expression and lymphangiogenesis by deacetylating endothelial PAS domain protein 1 (EPAS1) in head and neck cancer (HNC) in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we report that SIRT2, rather than other members...

Prenatal and postnatal MRI imaging findings of intracranial parasitic fetus: a case report

Abstract Fetus in fetu (FIF) is an extremely rare anomaly. It is predominantly seen retroperitoneally in 80% of cases but can present at atypical sites like the skull, sacrum, scrotum and the mouth. We reported a rare case of intracranial parasitic fetus. We described the prenatal and postnatal MRI findings of the case. There was no obvious spinal signal on the imaging findings at 35 weeks of gestation. However, the postnatal MRI revealed spinal column signal at 5 months and 11 days.

Stiffness measurement is a biomarker of skin aging in vivo

Abstract Human skin is particularly vulnerable to age‐related deterioration and undergoes profound structural and functional changes, reflected in the external skin appearance. Skin aging is characterized by features such as wrinkling or loss of elasticity. Even if research advances have been done concerning the molecular mechanisms that underlie these changes, very few studies have been conducted concerning the structure stiffness of the skin organ as a whole. In this study, we showed, thanks to...

The origin of the high stability of 3'-terminal uridine tetrads. The contributions of hydrogen bonding, stacking interactions and steric factors evaluated using modified oligonucleotide analogs. [Article]

RNA G-quadruplexes fold almost exclusively into parallel-stranded structures and thus display much less structural diversity than their DNA counterparts. However, also among RNA G-quadruplexes peculiar structural elements can be found which are capable of reshaping physico-chemical properties of the folded structure. A striking example is provided by a uridine tetrad (U-tetrad) placed on the 3’-terminus of a tetramolecular G-quadruplex. In this context the U-tetrad adapts a unique conformation involving...

Strain-Dependent Modifier Genes Determine Survival in Zfp423 Mice

Zfp423 encodes a transcriptional regulatory protein that interacts with canonical signaling and lineage pathways. Mutations in mouse Zfp423 or its human ortholog ZNF423 are associated with a range of developmental abnormalities reminiscent of ciliopathies, including cerebellar vermis hypoplasia and other midline brain defects. Null mice have reduced viability in most strain backgrounds. Here we show complete lethality on a C57BL/6J background, dominant rescue in backcrosses to any of 13 partner strains,...

Transposable element control disrupted by meiotic drive in a stalk-eyed fly genome [NEW RESULTS]

Some stalk-eyed flies in the genus Teleopsis carry selfish genetic elements that induce sex ratio (SR) meiotic drive and impact the fitness of male and female carriers. Here, we produce a chromosome-level genome assembly of the stalk-eyed fly, T. dalmanni, to elucidate the pattern of genomic divergence associated with the presence of drive elements. We find evidence for multiple nested inversions along the sex ratio haplotype and widespread differentiation and divergence between the inversion types...

Advancing racial equity in oral health (research): more of the same is not enough

By critically appraising the literature on the oral health effects of race‐based oppression, this focus article makes four recommendations that may both facilitate more nuanced research on the topic and mitigate racial/ethnic inequities in (oral) health. The first is recognizing that science itself may perpetuate racial/ethnic injustice, such that adopting a ‘neutral’ position must be replaced with actively fostering anti‐racist narratives. The second is to not imply that racial oppression is bad...
