Abstract
BACKGROUND Nipah virus (NiV) and Hendra virus (HeV) of genus Henipavirus are the deadliest zoonotic viruses, which cause severe respiratory ailments and fatal encephalitis in humans and other susceptible animals. The fatality rate for these infections had been alarmingly high with no approved treatment available to date. Viral attachment and fusion with host cell membrane is essential for viral entry and is the most essential event of viral infection. Viral attachment is mediated by interaction of Henipavirus attachment glycoprotein (G) with the host cell receptor: Ephrin B2/B3, while viral fusion and endocytosis are mediated by the combined action of both viral glycoprotein (G) and fusion protein (F). CONCLUSION This review highlights the mechanism of viral attachment, fusion and also explains the basic mechanism and pathobiology of this infection in humans. The drugs and therapeutics used either experimentally or clinically against NiV and HeV infection have been documented and classified in detail. Some amino acid residues essential for the functionality of G and F proteins were also emphasized. Therapeutic designing to target and block these residues can serve as a promising approach in future drug development against NiV and HeV.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Incident atrial fibrillation (AF) marks an adverse shift in the prognosis of patients with aortic stenosis (AS). Identifying risk factors for AF is therefore of paramount importance for timely intervention in patients with AS. In patients without AS, brain natriuretic peptides (BNP) is a well-established biomarker for left ventricular pressure overload on the pathway to heart failure and atrial fibrillation. However, a potential role of NT-proBNP to predict risk of new-onset AF in asymptomatic patients with mild to moderate AS is not well studied.
Methods
We included 1,434 patients with mild to moderate AS from the SEAS Study (Simvastatin and Ezetimibe in Aortic Stenosis) without AF or clinically overt heart failure at baseline. The primary endpoint for this substudy was time to incident AF, as determined by the first annual in-study 12-lead ECG with AF. Multivariable Cox model were adjusted for other important predictors of incident AF as selected by Bayesian statistics. Fine and Gray competing risk regression was used to evaluate the influence of all-cause mortality on selected predictor variables of incident AF.
Results
During a median follow-up of 4.3 years (range 0.1–6.9 years), incident AF occurred in 114 (6.1%) patients (13.8 per 1,000 person-years of follow-up), who at baseline were older (69±10 vs. 67±10 years, p<0.001), had larger systolic left atrial diameter (46±24 vs. 34±18 mm, p<0.001) and higher NT-proBNP level (286 [132; 613] vs. 154 [82; 297] pg/ml, p<0.001); but same left ventricular ejection fraction (66±6 mm vs. 67±6, p=0.4). In multivariable Cox regression, adjusted for age, circumferential end-systolic stress, left atrial volume and ECG PR interval, Ln(NT-proBNP) was associated with higher risk of new-onset AF (HR: 1.9 [95% CI: 1.6–2.3], p<0.001). Similar results were found when using Fine and Gray estimates with all-cause mortality (HR: 2.0 [95% CI: 1.7–2.4], p<0.001 (Figure, panel A). NT-proBNP level added incremental predictive information on incident AF over the other important, as selected by Bayesian statistics, predictor variables (C-index 0.81, p<0.001, Figure, panel B). There was no interaction with aortic valve area (p>0.05).
Figure 1
Conclusions
In patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis and sinus rhythm at baseline, NT-proBNP levels were significantly higher in patients who subsequently developed AF. NT-proBNP significantly improved prognostic information of incident AF over other important predictor variables. This supports the notion that incident AF is a marker of left ventricular pressure overload and possibly a novel marker of timely intervention with aortic valve replacement.

Abstract
Various angle-dependent measurements in hole-doped cuprates suggested that non-Fermi liquid (NFL) and Fermi-liquid (FL) self-energies coexist in the Brillouin zone. Moreover, it is also found that NFL self-energies survive up to the overdoped region where the resistivity features a global FL-behavior. To address this problem, we compute the momentum dependent self-energy from a single band Hubbard model. The self-energy is calculated self-consistently by using a momentum-dependent density-fluctuation (MRDF) method. One of our main results is that the computed self-energy exhibits a marginal-FL (MFL)-like frequency dependence only in the antinodal region, and FL-like behavior elsewhere at all dopings. The MFL self-energy stems from the fluctuations between the itinerant and localized densities-a result that appears when self-energy is calculated self-consistently and features an intermediate coupling behavior of cuprates. We also calculate the DC conductivity by including the full momentum dependent self-energy. We find that the resistivity-temperature exponent n becomes 1 near the optimal doping, while the MFL self-energy occupies largest momentum-space volume. Surprisingly, even in the NFL state near the optimal doping, the nodal region contains FL-like self-energies; while in the under- and over-dopings ([Formula: see text]), the antinodal region remains NFL-like. These results highlight the non-local correlation physics in cuprates and in other similar intermediately correlated materials, where a direct link between the microscopic single-particle spectral properties and the macroscopic transport behavior can not be well established.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY Bile duct injury (BDI) after cholecystectomy is a serious complication. It often requires surgical repair. The aim of this study was to report on the short and long-term outcomes of surgery for post-cholecystectomy BDI. PATIENTS AND METHODS All the patients, who underwent surgery for post-cholecystectomy BDI between August 2007 and September 2017, were retrospectively reviewed. McDonald grading system was used to assess the long-term outcome. The risk factors for unsatisfactory long-term outcome were analyzed by univariate and multivatiate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS In total, 228 patients had a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. Open cholecystectomy was the major cause of BDI (61%). The median time from injury to definitive repair was 6 months. The types of BDI were as follows: E1 in 13 (5.7%), E2 in 68 (29.82%), E3 in 108 (47.36%), E4 in 28 (12.28%), and E5 in 11 (4.82%) patients respectively. Postoperative morbidity and mortality were 25% and 1.31% respectively. After a median follow-up of 58 months, 90% patients had excellent to good outcome. Recurrent stricture developed in 6 (3%) patients. On multivariate analysis, long injury-repair interval and previous attempt at repair were independent predictors for unsatisfactory long-term outcome. CONCLUSION Surgical reconstruction affords excellent to good results for majority of the patients with post-cholecystectomy BDI. As longer delay in definitive repair and previous attempt at repair were associated with unsatisfactory long-term outcome, early referral to a specialized hepatobiliary surgery unit is recommended.

Abstract
Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection occurs in 30–90 per cent of people who inject drugs (PWID). Although cure rates can exceed 95 per cent, treatment access is limited and approximately 400,000 people die each year due to complications of chronic infection. A temporal analysis of cluster networks among PWID can be used to inform strategies to interdict transmission. In Baltimore, PWID have been recruited for The AIDS Linked to the IntraVenous Experience (ALIVE) cohort. A demographic questionnaire was administered and recorded for baseline and recent participants. Viral RNA underwent PCR with primers targeting the core and envelope-1 protein (CE1) and sequenced via Sanger sequencing. Sequences with > 400 bp reads and Q-scores >370 were used for downstream analysis resulting in 322 ALIVE baseline participants (1988–9) and 548 recently diagnosed subjects enrolled approximately two decades later (2005–16). Cluster networks were rendered with a threshold of 4 per cent in MicrobeTRACE, and statistical analyses were performed in R Studio. Of the 1988–9 subjects, the majority (259/317, 81.7%) were a part of cluster. There were nine clusters and fifty-eight singletons, with two large clusters containing most sequences of genotype 1a (73.5%). Two decades later, a minority of recently diagnosed individuals (235/512, 44.1%) were part of a cluster. There were seventeen clusters with 286 singletons with two large clusters containing 1a genotype individuals (21.5%). Additional clustering was done by parsing the two datasets by subtype 1a (n = 714) and 1b (n = 151). The genotype 1a network demonstrates a majority, 65.8 per cent, of participants in clusters. Moreover, two large clusters can be observed with baseline participants towards the center and recent participants on the outskirts indicative of high linkage at baseline. The genotype 1b network produced a single large cluster but subclusters were observed. The sequences between the two time points co-mingled but subclusters were also observed. Interestingly, the two large clusters from 1988 to 1989 were still evident in the 2005–16 viral sequences. We observed greater cluster diversity in more recently diagnosed individuals, indicative of a less connected network of individuals sharing transmission risk, though major viral strains did persist over time in this cohort.

Abstract
One-dimensional quasiperiodic systems with power-law hopping, 1/r^{a}, differ from both the standard Aubry-André (AA) model and from power-law systems with uncorrelated disorder. Whereas in the AA model all single-particle states undergo a transition from ergodic to localized at a critical quasidisorder strength, short-range power-law hops with a>1 can result in mobility edges. We find that there is no localization for long-range hops with a≤1, in contrast to the case of uncorrelated disorder. Systems with long-range hops rather present ergodic-to-multifractal edges and a phase transition from ergodic to multifractal (extended but nonergodic) states. Both mobility and ergodic-to-multifractal edges may be clearly revealed in experiments on expansion dynamics.

Abstract
Despite the high incidence of metaphyseal bone fractures in patients, the mechanisms underlying the healing processes are poorly understood due to the lack of suitable experimental animal models. Hence, the present study was conducted to establish and characterise a clinically relevant large-animal model for metaphyseal bone healing. Six female adult Merino sheep underwent full wedge-shaped osteotomy at the distal left femur metaphysis. The osteotomy was stabilised internally with a customised anatomical locking titanium plate that allowed immediate post-operative full-weight bearing. Bone healing was evaluated at 12 weeks post-fracture relative to the untouched right femur. Histological and quantitative micro-computed tomography results revealed an increased mineralised bone mass with a rich bone microarchitecture. New trabeculae healed by direct intramembranous ossification, without callus and cartilaginous tissue formation. Stiffness at the cortical and trabecular regions was comparable in both groups. Functional morphological analysis of the osteocyte lacunae revealed regularly arranged spherically shaped lacunae along with the canalicular network. Bone surface biochemical analysis using time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry showed high and homogeneously distributed levels of calcium and collagenous components. Ultrastructure imaging of the new trabeculae revealed a characteristic parallel arrangement of the collagen fibrils, evenly mineralised by the dense mineral substance. The specialised bone cells were also characterised by their unique structural features. Bone remodelling in the fractured femur was evident in the higher expression levels of prominent bone formation and resorption genes. In conclusion, the novel metaphyseal fracture model is beneficial for studying healing and treatment options for the enhancement of metaphyseal bone defects.

Abstract
For night blindness, a detailed structural exploration of the interactions among G-protein receptor rhodopsin, transducin and arrestin was performed. Rhodopsin is responsible for dim light vision while a point mutation (G90→D90) results in an adverse change in its photo-transduction. The validated 3D models of the three proteins were utilized, and upon mutation and interactions, rhodopsin attained higher stability (evaluated through thermodynamic energy calculations, electrostatic surface potential and solvent accessible area), thereby participating strongly with transducin. Conformational switches in mutated rhodopsin also depicted a firm conformation with few 310 helices accompanied by increased percentage of pure α-helices and sheets. All evaluations were corroborated through paired T-tests. Glu33 (glycosylated unit in the N-terminal zone) of rhodopsin plays a chief role in the overall interaction pattern. Arg69 and Glu33 from wild-type rhodopsin participated in ionic interactions, while the latter set of ionic interaction remained preserved even after mutation. Cys323 (C-terminal residue) and Arg69 formed H-bonds from the wild-type rhodopsin. Cys323 exceptionally supports cellular signaling pattern in the non-mutated situation and for the non-sufferers of night-blindness. Ser297 and Tyr43 from mutated rhodopsin reside in helices and interact with Thr32 of transducin, preserving the steady conformation in activated interacted state, even in the dark. Ser297 lies adjoined to Lys296 (retinal attachment site), which resides in NPXXY motif (an "activation switch" for signal transduction). Thus, the molecular facet for involvement of photo-transduction, which holds a paramount zone in ophthalmology, was dealt with. This might instigate the future prospect for drug discovery to prevent such mutations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to understand what information the US media communicated about Zika virus (ZIKV) and travel in 2016 and 2017. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a content analysis of news coverage about ZIKV and travel from April 5, 2016 to March 31, 2017. METHODS We obtained a stratified, random sample of English language, US print newspaper and television news coverage about ZIKV and travel. We developed a coding scheme to assess key messages in the news, including how ZIKV is transmitted, the symptoms and outcomes of ZIKV infection, and recommended prevention behaviors. RESULTS Almost all news stories mentioned mosquito-borne transmission (96.8%) and just over half mentioned sexual transmission (55.3%). News stories were more likely to talk about ZIKV outcomes (78.8%) than ZIKV symptoms (40.6%). However, outcomes affecting babies were mentioned more frequently than outcomes affecting adults. Recommendations included a wide array of protective behaviors, such as delaying or avoiding travel (77.6%) and using mosquito repellent (41.0%). However, few studies (10.9%) mentioned barriers to practicing ZIKV prevention behaviors. CONCLUSIONS Public health organizations and professionals can use these findings to help improve communication about future outbreaks of mosquito-borne illnesses. We also recommend conducting real-time monitoring of news media and frequent content analysis of news stories to ensure coverage provides the information the public needs.

Abstract
Wheat (Triticum aestivum), having high nutritional values is one of the staple food of most of the countries in the world. The productivity of the crop decreases drastically when it encounters various abiotic stresses, most common of which are heat, drought, flood and salinity. There is a crucial role of stress response proteins for the survival of the crops in stress conditions. So the study of wheat stress response proteins is of great importance to raise wheat production in different stress conditions. In this study, we analysed 14-3-3 protein, a stress response protein that is expressed in three major stresses, for example heat, drought and salinity and helps the plants to survive in those conditions. Effect of mutations in the 14-3-3 sequence was predicted using its domain, secondary structure and multiple sequence alignment of amino acid sequences from wheat and its related species. The functional diversity of the protein in different species was correlated with mutations, change in secondary structure and the evolutionary relatedness of the protein in different species. This is the first novel work for analysing the mutational effect on the structure and function of a stress response protein (14-3-3) from Triticum aestivum and its related species.

Abstract
Riboswitches are dynamic RNA motifs that are mostly embedded in the 5'-untranslated regions of bacterial mRNAs, where they regulate gene expression transcriptionally or translationally by undergoing conformational changes upon binding of a small metabolite or ion. Due to the small size of typical ligands, relatively little free energy is available from ligand binding to overcome the often high energetic barrier of reshaping RNA structure. Instead, most riboswitches appear to take advantage of the directional and hierarchical folding of RNA by employing the ligand as a structural 'linchpin' to adjust the kinetic partitioning between alternate folds. In this model, even small, local structural and kinetic effects of ligand binding can cascade into global RNA conformational changes affecting gene expression. Single-molecule (SM) microscopy tools are uniquely suited to study such kinetically controlled RNA folding since they avoid the ensemble averaging of bulk techniques that loses sight of unsynchronized, transient, and/or multi-state kinetic behavior. This review summarizes how SM methods have begun to unravel riboswitch-mediated gene regulation.

Abstract
Post hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) comprises of a conundrum of symptoms and signs following major hepatic resections. The pathophysiology essentially revolves around disruption of the normal hepatocyte regeneration and disturbed liver homeostasis. Prompt identification of the pre-operative predictors of PHLF in the form of biochemical parameters and imaging features are of paramount importance for any hepatic surgeon and forms the cornerstone of its management. Treatment revolves around a goal-directed resuscitation of the systemic organ failure. Auxiliary support systems such as liver dialysis devices and stem cell therapy are still under investigational trials for treatment of the same. Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the last resort in most cases not responding to other measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The African Surgical Outcomes Study (ASOS) showed that surgical patients in Africa have a mortality twice the global average. Existing risk assessment tools are not valid for use in this population because the pattern of risk for poor outcomes differs from high-income countries. The objective of this study was to derive and validate a simple, preoperative risk stratification tool to identify African surgical patients at risk for in-hospital postoperative mortality and severe complications. METHODS ASOS was a 7-day prospective cohort study of adult patients undergoing surgery in Africa. The ASOS Surgical Risk Calculator was constructed with a multivariable logistic regression model for the outcome of in-hospital mortality and severe postoperative complications. The following preoperative risk factors were entered into the model; age, sex, smoking status, ASA physical status, preoperative chronic comorbid conditions, indication for surgery, urgency, severity, and type of surgery. RESULTS The model was derived from 8799 patients from 168 African hospitals. The composite outcome of severe postoperative complications and death occurred in 423/8799 (4.8%) patients. The ASOS Surgical Risk Calculator includes the following risk factors: age, ASA physical status, indication for surgery, urgency, severity, and type of surgery. The model showed good discrimination with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.805 and good calibration with c-statistic corrected for optimism of 0.784. CONCLUSIONS This simple preoperative risk calculator could be used to identify high-risk surgical patients in African hospitals and facilitate increased postoperative surveillance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We tested the ability of a type 1 diabetes (T1D) genetic risk score (GRS) to predict progression of islet autoimmunity and T1D in at-risk individuals. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied the 1,244 TrialNet Pathway to Prevention study participants (T1D patients' relatives without diabetes and with one or more positive autoantibodies) who were genotyped with Illumina ImmunoChip (median [range] age at initial autoantibody determination 11.1 years [1.2-51.8], 48% male, 80.5% non-Hispanic white, median follow-up 5.4 years). Of 291 participants with a single positive autoantibody at screening, 157 converted to multiple autoantibody positivity and 55 developed diabetes. Of 953 participants with multiple positive autoantibodies at screening, 419 developed diabetes. We calculated the T1D GRS from 30 T1D-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms. We used multivariable Cox regression models, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves, and area under the curve (AUC) measures to evaluate prognostic utility of T1D GRS, age, sex, Diabetes Prevention Trial-Type 1 (DPT-1) Risk Score, positive autoantibody number or type, HLA DR3/DR4-DQ8 status, and race/ethnicity. We used recursive partitioning analyses to identify cut points in continuous variables. RESULTS Higher T1D GRS significantly increased the rate of progression to T1D adjusting for DPT-1 Risk Score, age, number of positive autoantibodies, sex, and ethnicity (hazard ratio [HR] 1.29 for a 0.05 increase, 95% CI 1.06-1.6; P = 0.011). Progression to T1D was best predicted by a combined model with GRS, number of positive autoantibodies, DPT-1 Risk Score, and age (7-year time-integrated AUC = 0.79, 5-year AUC = 0.73). Higher GRS was significantly associated with increased progression rate from single to multiple positive autoantibodies after adjusting for age, autoantibody type, ethnicity, and sex (HR 2.27 for GRS >0.295, 95% CI 1.47-3.51; P = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS The T1D GRS independently predicts progression to T1D and improves prediction along T1D stages in autoantibody-positive relatives.

Abstract
The main aim of this study was to evaluate the bioavailability of metals related to CO2 enrichment on the mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis by metal's bioaccumulation analysis. Two sediment samples were selected and subjected to different pH levels. Concentrations of metals were measured in the overlying seawater and in the whole body of mussels exposed on the 7th, 14th and 21st days. Results showed that the CO2 enrichment in aquatic ecosystems cause significant (p < 0.05) changes on the concentrations of Cu, Zn, Ni, Mn and As between the control pH and pH 7.0 after 7 days of exposure; and in the concentration of Fe at pH 6.0 using the RSP sediment. The multivariate analysis results showed that the increase in the bioaccumulation of some metals in mussels was linked to the acidification. It was concluded that many factors may interfere in the results when the acidification and bioavailability of metals are inquired.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION With advances in proteomics, it is essential to investigate the molecularlevel participation of IL27 and gp130 to hinder HIV infection. Their interaction causes cell-cycle arrest in HIV+ cells by activating the receptor-associated JAK signaling and causing apoptosis of cancerous cells. METHODOLOGY The best human wild-type WT_IL27 model was prepared after varied molecular modeling techniques. The vital tyrosine residues in WT_IL27 were identified, mutated and IL27 was re-modeled. Both wild-type and mutant IL27 were docked individually with human gp130 ectodomain complex. Best cluster sized complex was opted and the complexes (WT and MT) were MD (molecular dynamics) simulated. Protein-protein interacting residues, binding patterns, thermodynamic stability, solvent accessibility and many such parameters were evaluated to affirm the stability in the mutant complex. Statistical significances were drawn too. RESULT AND DISCUSSION With statistical significances also, the mutant type (MT) IL27 was comprehended as the most stable one. Their functionality remained the same. Ionic interactions were the most dominating ones. Exceptionally several Arg residues from MT_IL27 appeared to play a major role, thereby stabilizing the simulated MT_IL27-gp130 complexes. Manifold energy estimations for the complexes, electrostatic potential and increment in %helices and %β-sheets revealed the simulated MT_IL27-gp130 complex to be more stable. In the MT_complex, residues forming 3-ten helices remained constant with major increase in α-helices. This thereby infers the complex as the steadiest and most interactive one. CONCLUSION The residual exploration with the detailed structural analysis would aid in the effective drug discovery by targeting the drugs at the interacting sites with the specific binding patterns as analyzed from the study. Conformational stability and other several parameters for thermodynamic stability and accomplishment of strong interaction were also explored. Altogether, this probe provides a limelight towards the mutational alterations in WT IL27, which might allow it to act as a strong peptide inhibitor by shielding HIV entry, more potently.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Laxity in the trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint is a debilitating condition usually affecting a young population. It can be treated operatively with ligament reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the Arthrex Mini TightRope® in reinforcing the stabilizing ligaments in an unstable TMC joint without decreasing the range of motion of the thumb. This method was compared with the "gold standard" published by Eaton and Littler in 1973. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six fresh frozen arms from five cadavers were included. TMC joint laxity was measured on stress view radiographs as the ratio of the radial subluxation (RS) of the first metacarpal in relation to the trapezium, by the first metacarpal articular width (AW) (as described by Wolf in 2009). Measurements of the pre- and post-operative range of motion (ROM) were performed and compared. RESULTS Both the Arthrex Mini TightRope® and the Eaton-Littler stabilization improved the stability of the TMC joint. The pre-operative laxity value (ratio RS/AW) of 0.27 was significantly (P = 0.02) improved by each of the surgical interventions (Eaton-Littler RS/AW = 0.05 and Tightrope RS/AW = 0.09). The pre- and post-operative range of motion was not significantly different by each of the surgical interventions. There were no significant differences between the two stabilizing methods regarding laxity or range of motion. CONCLUSION The Arthrex Mini TightRope® provided a good stabilization method for the TMC joint in this anatomical model without compromising the range of motion.

Abstract
Background Informed consent is a systematic process for obtaining permission before conducting a healthcare intervention. In a developing country, gaining informed consent is generally perceived to be a ritual only to comply with legal requirements. The present study examined this by assessing the process of informed consent in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery or living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and their relatives, based on their comprehension and overall satisfaction, in India. Methods All patients undergoing any gastrointestinal surgery or LDLT procedure between August 2015 and July 2016 and their relatives were included, and were administered a structured questionnaire 5 days after the procedure. Results The majority of patients (94·2 per cent) could recall the nature of their disease, the surgery performed (81·6 per cent) and anticipated complications (55·6 per cent). Among their relatives, these proportions were 97·8, 87·3 and 58·5 per cent respectively. Recall was associated with age, occupation and education among both patients and relatives. Patients undergoing LDLT, their donors and their relatives had better recall than those who had other gastrointestinal procedures (P < 0·001). Many patients found the process of informed consent useful and reassuring. Conclusion The details and risks of an operation were understood by most of the patients, especially those undergoing liver transplantation. Patients from developing countries can generally understand ‘informed consent’, and value it.

Abstract
Redox mechanisms are emerging as essential to stem cell function given their capacity to
influence a number of important signaling pathways governing stem cell survival and
regenerative activity. In this context, our recent work identified the reduced expression
of nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2, or Nrf2, in mediating the decline in
subventricular zone neural stem progenitor cell (NSPC) regeneration during aging. Since
Nrf2 is a major transcription factor at the heart of cellular redox regulation and
homeostasis, the current study investigates the role that it may play in the aging of
NSPCs that reside within the other major mammalian germinal niche located in the
subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus. Using rats from
multiple aging stages ranging from newborn to old age, and aging Nrf2 knockout mice, we
first determined that, in contrast with subventricular zone (SVZ) NSPCs, Nrf2 expression
does not significantly affect overall DG NSPC viability with age. However, DG NSPCs
resembled SVZ stem cells, in that Nrf2 expression controlled their proliferation and the
balance of neuronal versus glial differentiation particularly in relation to a specific
critical period during middle age. Also, importantly, this Nrf2-based control of NSPC
regeneration was found to impact functional neurogenesis-related hippocampal behaviors,
particularly in the Morris water maze and in pattern separation tasks. Furthermore, the
enrichment of the hippocampal environment via the transplantation of Nrf2-overexpressing
NSPCs was able to mitigate the age-related decline in DG stem cell regeneration during the
critical middle-age period, and significantly improved pattern separation abilities. In
summary, these results emphasize the importance of Nrf2 in DG NSPC regeneration, and
support Nrf2 upregulation as a potential approach to advantageously modulate DG NSPC
activity with age.

Abstract
The emergence of single-molecule (SM) fluorescence techniques has opened up a vast new toolbox for exploring the molecular basis of life. The ability to monitor individual biomolecules in real time enables complex, dynamic folding pathways to be interrogated without the averaging effect of ensemble measurements. In parallel, modern biology has been revolutionized by our emerging understanding of the many functions of RNA. In this comprehensive review, we survey SM fluorescence approaches and discuss how the application of these tools to RNA and RNA-containing macromolecular complexes in vitro has yielded significant insights into the underlying biology. Topics covered include the three-dimensional folding landscapes of a plethora of isolated RNA molecules, their assembly and interactions in RNA-protein complexes, and the relation of these properties to their biological functions. In all of these examples, the use of SM fluorescence methods has revealed critical information beyond the reach of ensemble averages.

Abstract
Motivated by the recent experiment by Bordia et al. [Nat. Phys. 13, 460 (2017)NPAHAX1745-247310.1038/nphys4020], we study the single particle delocalization phenomena of the Aubry-André (AA) model subjected to periodic drives. In two distinct cases we construct an equivalent classical description to illustrate that the drive-induced delocalization phenomena stems from an instability and the onset of chaos in the underlying dynamics. In the first case we analyze the delocalization and the thermalization in a time modulated AA potential with respect to driving frequency and demonstrate that there exists a threshold value of the amplitude of the drive. In the next example, we show that the periodic modulation of the phase of the hopping amplitude induced by a gauge field leads to an unusual effect on delocalization with a nonmonotonic dependence on the driving frequency. Within a window of such a driving frequency a delocalized Floquet band with a mobility edge appears, exhibiting multifractality in the spectrum as well as in the Floquet eigenfunctions. Finally, we explore the effect of interaction and discuss how the results of the present analysis can be tested experimentally.

Abstract
Heart failure is a common clinical syndrome and a global health priority. The burden of heart failure is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide as well as in India. Heart failure not only increases the risk of mortality, morbidity and worsens the patient's quality of life, but also puts a huge burden on the overall healthcare system. The management of heart failure has evolved over the years with the advent of new drugs and devices. This document has been developed with an objective to provide standard management guidance and simple heart failure algorithms to aid Indian clinicians in their daily practice. It would also inform the clinicians on the latest evidence in heart failure and provide guidance to recognize and diagnose chronic heart failure early and optimize management.

Abstract
We present the first observation of dynamically modulated quantum phase transition between two distinct charge density wave (CDW) phases in two-dimensional 2H-NbSe_{2}. There is recent spectroscopic evidence for the presence of these two quantum phases, but its evidence in bulk measurements remained elusive. We studied suspended, ultrathin 2H-NbSe_{2} devices fabricated on piezoelectric substrates-with tunable flakes thickness, disorder level, and strain. We find a surprising evolution of the conductance fluctuation spectra across the CDW temperature: the conductance fluctuates between two precise values, separated by a quantum of conductance. These quantized fluctuations disappear for disordered and on-substrate devices. With the help of mean-field calculations, these observations can be explained as to arise from dynamical phase transition between the two CDW states. To affirm this idea, we vary the lateral strain across the device via piezoelectric medium and map out the phase diagram near the quantum critical point. The results resolve a long-standing mystery of the anomalously large spectroscopic gap in NbSe_{2}.

Abstract
AIM Chronic kidney disease related-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) has been poorly studied in pre-dialysis Indian CKD population. There are limited data on the pattern of these disturbances in diabetic CKD patients. Therefore, a study was conducted to find out the profile of mineral bone disorders in T2DM patients with pre-dialysis CKD. METHODS In this cross-sectional design, diabetic patients with newly-diagnosed stage 4 and 5 CKD were evaluated. Serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), 25 hydroxy vitamin D and total alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were measured in all patients. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). RESULTS A total of 72 eligible patients participated (44 males, 28 females; age 54.2±11.7). Patients with CKD Stage 5 had a lower level of corrected serum calcium and significantly higher level of inorganic phosphorus, total ALP and iPTH as compared to stage 4 patients. Overall, 38.5% were hypocalcemic, 31.43% were hyperphosphatemic. 24.2% of CKD subjects were vitamin D deficient (<10ng/ml) and 41.4% having vitamin D insufficiency (10-20ng/ml). In stage 4, hyperparathyroidism (iPTH>110pg/ml) was detected in nearly 43% of patients. In stage 5, only 32% patients was found to have hyperparathyroidism (iPTH>300pg/ml). There was a good correlation between iPTH and total ALP (r=0.5, p=0.0001) in this cohort. 25 (OH) vitamin D was inversely correlated with ALP (r=-0.39, P=0.001) and showed negative correlation with urine ACR (r=-0.37, P=0.002). As a group, the osteoporotic CKD subjects exhibited higher iPTH (220.1±153.8 vs. 119±108pg/ml, p<0.05) as compared to those who were osteopenic or had normal bone density. There was significant correlation between BMD and iPTH (adjusted r=-0.436; P=0.001). In the multivariate regression model, we found intact PTH to predict BMD even after adjustment of all the confounders. CONCLUSION The current study showed that adynamic bone disease is prevalent even in pre-dialysis CKD population. High bone turnover disease may not be the most prevalent type in diabetic CKD. However, it could contribute to the development of osteoporosis in CKD subjects. Serum total ALP can serve as a biochemical marker to identify pattern of bone turnover where intact PTH is not available.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Robert Mathys (RM) Finger is a hinged type of arthroplasty for the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint that compensates ligament instability. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes and complications of RM Finger arthroplasty of the PIP joint. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective case series of 19 RM Finger arthroplasties of the PIP joint in 17 patients was performed with a median follow-up of 36 months. The active range of motion (AROM) was measured pre-operatively, at the 6-week follow-up, at the termination of hand therapy, and at the final follow-up. Complications were recorded, as well as pain on a visual analog scale (VAS), stability, deformity, pinch strength, the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ), and the Patient Global Index of Improvement Questionnaire. RESULTS One implant fracture occurred. Another patient had an amputation due to stiffness. For the remaining joints, AROM was 61°. One joint mobilization under local anesthesia, one arthrolysis and two extensor tendon reconstructions were also necessary. Pain at the follow-up was 1.2 on the VAS. Relative pinch strength was 69%. Joint stability was restored in all fingers, although one joint had an ulnar deviation of 15°. Eight fingers developed a snapping phenomenon, of which five had a swan neck deformity. One finger had an extension lag with a Boutonnière deformity. MHQ scores were less compared to the unaffected hand. Fifteen patients rated their outcome as improved compared to their pre-operative condition. CONCLUSIONS RM Finger arthroplasty of the PIP joint restores joint stability with AROM improvement, and with low pain, although it has a high rate of complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Antiretroviral therapy (ART) during acute HIV infection (AHI) restricts the HIV reservoir, but additional interventions are necessary to induce a cure. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is not HIV-specific but is safe and temporarily reduces the HIV reservoir in chronic HIV infection. We present a randomized controlled trial to investigate whether IVIG plus ART in AHI reduces the HIV reservoir and immune activation compared with ART alone. METHODS Ten men with AHI (Fiebig II-IV) initiated ART (tenofovir, entricitabine, ritonavir boosted darunavir and raltegravir) at HIV-1 diagnosis and were randomized to ART alone or ART plus 5 days of IVIG, once virally suppressed (week 19). Blood samples were evaluated for viral reservoir, immune activation, immune exhaustion and microbial translocation. Flexible sigmoidoscopy was performed at weeks 19, 24 and 48, and gut proviral DNA and cell numbers determined. RESULTS IVIG was well tolerated and no viral blips (> 50 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL) occurred during IVIG therapy. From baseline to week 48, total HIV DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (cases: -3.7 log10 copies/106 CD4 cells; controls: -3.87 log10 copies/106 CD4 cells) declined with no differences observed between the groups (P = 0.49). Declines were observed in both groups from week 19 to week 48 in total HIV DNA in PBMCs (P = 0.38), serum low copy RNA (P = 0.57) and gut total HIV DNA (P = 0.55), but again there were no significant differences between arms. Biomarkers of immune activation, immune exhaustion and microbial translocation and the CD4:CD8 ratio were similar between arms for all comparisons. CONCLUSIONS Although safe, IVIG in AHI did not impact total HIV DNA, immune function or microbial translocation in peripheral blood or gut tissue.

Abstract
Rice husk derived activated carbons doped with nitrogen have been studied using low temperature nitrogen adsorption, scanning electron microscopy, mercury porosimetry, thermogravimetric analysis combined with mass-spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It has been shown that N-doped activated carbon produced by high temperature treatment of the starting material soaked with urea, has a significantly higher anion exchange capacity than the other samples studied, which correlates with its higher adsorption capacity towards nitrate ion removal from aqueous solutions with the initial concentration of 5 and 15 ppm.

Abstract
Essential human proteins; SOX17-HMG domain and beta-catenin uphold a major responsibility for vertebrate gastrulation and embryonic development. Earlier experimental assays document their interaction and states that upon M76A and G103R mutation, their interaction varied. Till date, there was no computational analysis for either of proteins as well as their respective residues for the interaction. The present study extracted and analyzed the experimentally validated 3D models of SOX17-HMG domain and beta-catenin. After analysis of the evolutionarily conserved residues and the sequence-level alteration, the mutated SOX17-HMG protein was re-modeled, demonstrated and energy minimized. Molecular dynamics simulation was performed upon the docked complex of beta-catenin with wild-type and mutant-type protein, individually. Comparable analysis for interaction studies revealed reduction of predominant ionic interactions from 16 (wild-type) to 5 (mutant-type). Glu residues from wild-type protein played a pivotal role forming 50% of the ionic interactions alone. Fascinatingly, statistically significant deductions for several stability calculations deduced the mutant-type protein/complex to form unsteady interaction with beta-catenin. Again, helix-to-coil transition in mutant-type protein supported its weaker conformation. This probe depicts the paramount molecular-level detailed scrutiny for the essential human proteins and disclosure of the mutational analysis, which might tend to hinder the signal transduction. It instigates the future development for the pharmaceutical research.

Abstract
I. BACKGROUND Metastasis of breast cancer serves the most aggravating cause for transience in breast cancer patients. Accumulating evidences suggest that signal transduction in human breast cancers commences in estrogen-reliant pattern via signaling of the estrogen-receptor α-subunit (ERα) and XBP-1 (bZIP-domain) proteins. Furthermore, earlier investigations from SAGE and GST pull-down assay, also state that a point mutation in ERα leads to a risky factor by resulting into hyper-responsiveness towards estrogen and increased proliferation of breast cancer cells. So, a molecular-level exploration into the signaling mechanism is a prime requisite for future clinical and therapeutic progress. II. METHODS AND RESULTS Present study explores primarily the residual participation of the two essential proteins from humans to boost the signaling mechanism in malignant breast tumors. So, 3D structures of the respective monomer proteins were demonstrated and mutated protein was homology modeled after the satisfaction of the stereo-chemical features. The functionality was observed to be conserved after mutation. Abrupt increment in protein-protein interactions was studied for the individual optimized and Molecular Dynamics simulated protein complexes. Revelation from supportive statistical significances for several energy calculations, solvent accessibility areas, electrostatic surface potentials and interaction studies led to confer that after mutation, the complex and the individual protein were the most stable and the best interactive one. For metastasis in breast cancer cells, polar charged residues hold a significant contribution. III. CONCLUSION Therefore, this investigation provides a cogent framework for the interactive studies associated with breast cancer and an exposure towards the lethal impact on mutation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To (1) assess the hydration knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of doctors; (2) develop an evidence-based training package; and (3) evaluate the impact of the training package. DESIGN Educational intervention with impact evaluation. SETTING Cambridgeshire, UK. PARTICIPANTS General practitioners (GPs (primary care physicians)). INTERVENTIONS Hydration and healthcare training. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Hydration KAP score before and immediately after the training session. RESULTS Knowledge gaps of doctors identified before the teaching were the definition of dehydration, European Food Safety Authority water intake recommendations, water content of the human body and proportion of water from food and drink. A face-to-face teaching package was developed on findings from the KAP survey and literature search. 54 questionnaires were completed before and immediately after two training sessions with GPs. Following the training, total hydration KAP scores increased significantly (p<0.001; median (25th, 75th centiles); 32 (29, 34)). Attendees rated the session as excellent or good (90%) and reported the training was likely to influence their professional practice (100%). CONCLUSIONS The training package will continue to be developed and adapted, with increased focus on follow-up strategies as well as integration into medical curricula and standards of practice. However, further research is required in the area of hydration care to allow policymakers to incorporate hydration awareness and care with greater precision in local and national policies.

Abstract
Microbial oxidation-reduction reactions utilizing the environmental thiosulfate ions and mediated mainly by the sox operon are very much essential to maintain the sulfur balance in the environment. Majority of the previously documented wet laboratory studies show genetics behind the functionality of Sox proteins encoded by the sox operon. However, the molecular details of the involvements of the essential SoxB, SoxY and SoxZ proteins in the beta-proteobacteria have not yet been elucidated. In this work, an attempt was made to analyze the interaction profiles of the aforementioned SoxB, SoxY and SoxZ proteins to predict their roles in biological sulfur oxidation process. In order to establish the possible roles of these Sox proteins, we built the homology models of these proteins from the two different beta-proteobacteria Dechloromonas aromatica and Thiobacillus denitrificans. We then used molecular docking and simulation studies to further analyze the interaction profiles of these sox proteins. Our analyses revealed that SoxB protein from T. denitrificans exhibited steadier and stronger interactions with SoxYZ protein complex. On the other hand, SoxB protein from D. aromatica was found to exhibit a spontaneous interaction with greater ΔG values and therefore was well documented to exhibit a dual role. This is the first research article to discern the molecular level of interaction profiles of SoxB with SoxYZ protein complex in the beta-proteobacteria D. aromatica and T. denitrificans during the oxidations of thiosulfate. It would further prompt the future investigation into the mutational impact on the sequential interaction pattern in sox operon.

Abstract
Medical Nutrition Education (MNE) has been identified as an area with potential public health impact. Despite countries having distinctive education systems, barriers and facilitators to effective MNE are consistent across borders, demanding a common platform to initiate global programmes. A shared approach to supporting greater MNE is ideal to support countries to work together. In an effort to initiate this process, the Need for Nutrition Education/Innovation Programme group, in association with their strategic partners, hosted the inaugural International Summit on Medical Nutrition Education and Research on August 8, 2015 in Cambridge, UK. Speakers from the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, and India provided insights into their respective countries including their education systems, inherent challenges, and potential solutions across two main themes: (1) Medical Nutrition Education, focused on best practice examples in competencies and assessment; and (2) Medical Nutrition Research, discussing how to translate nutrition research into education opportunities. The Summit identified shared needs across regions, showcased examples of transferrable strategies and identified opportunities for collaboration in nutrition education for healthcare (including medical) professionals. These proceedings highlight the key messages presented at the Summit and showcase opportunities for working together towards a common goal of improvement in MNE to improve public health at large.
