Abstract
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterised by unprovoked, repetitive seizures caused by abnormal neuronal firing. The Wnt/β-Catenin signalling pathway is involved in seizure-induced neurogenesis, aberrant neurogenesis, neuroinflammation, and hyperexcitability associated with epileptic disorder. Wnt/β-Catenin signalling is crucial for early brain development processes including neuronal patterning, synapse formation, and N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) regulation. Disruption of molecular networks such as Wnt/β-catenin signalling in epilepsy could offer encouraging anti-epileptogenic targets. So, with a better understanding of the canonical Wnt/-Catenin pathway, we highlight in this review the important elements of Wnt/-Catenin signalling specifically in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (MTLE) for potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Even though many varieties have been recommended across agro-climate zones of Himachal Pradesh, yet the information on stability is lacking in this State. Hence, the present investigation was carried out to identify high yielding stable genotypes among various pre-adapted landraces. The material consists of 20 chilli landraces including check i.e. DKC-8. The experiment was laid out in a RCBD. The data were recorded and analyzed to work out mean performances and the inferences were drawn for parameters of variability, correlation coefficients, path coefficients and stability analysis. As per mean performances, CS7 and CS9 were earliest in flowering, CS13 is earliest in days to ripe maturity, CS10 had highest plant height and CS9 had highest average fruit weight and ripe fruit yield plant-1. High PCV and GCV were recorded for ripe fruit yield plant-1. Heritability and genetic advance were recorded maximum for plant height in summer seasons and were recorded maximum for number of ripe fruits plant-1 in winter season. Correlation coefficients showed that number of ripe fruits plant-1 and average ripe fruit weight were positively and significantly correlated with ripe fruit yield plant-1. Path coefficient analysis in summer and winter seasons showed that average ripe fruit weight had the highest positive direct effect on ripe fruit yield plant-1. The pooled data over environments were analyzed to estimate the interaction effects between genotypes × environment. The mean sum of squares due to genotypes, environments and genotypes × environment interaction were significant for all the characteristics. CS1, CS3, CS6, CS10, CS13, CS15 were adapted to all environments, CS7 and CS9 were specifically adapted to favourable environment and CS2 was specifically adapted to unfavorable environment for 50% flowering, landraces CS1, CS2 and CS3were well adapted to all environments for ripe maturity whereas landraces CS6, CS10 and CS19 were well adapted to all environment for number of ripe fruit and ripe fruit yield.

Abstract
Informal discussion regarding surgical management plans between strabismus surgeons is common but this limits potentially valuable multi-disciplinary input and learning opportunities. We evaluate the effectiveness of virtual multidisciplinary meetings to provide a platform for discussion of pre-operative strabismus surgical cases.Weekly virtual MS Teams meetings are held on Monday mornings for one hour, attended by the three paediatric consultants, paediatric fellow, all trainees on the paediatric firm and orthoptists. The meetings are recorded and available for reference to the content and for those not present.Presentations for upcoming surgery cases are prepared and presented by the fellow, with discussion from participants regarding examination findings and surgical options. Cases are anonymised to allow multicentre collaboration. The agreed management plan is documented in the patient's medical notes, and outcomes of challenging cases are discussed.The management plan is formalised during the MDT. Where required, additional tests are arranged. There are opportunities for all participants to constructively challenge decisions. Trainees of all levels are actively engaged by presenting, listening to the rationale behind surgical plans, with the opportunity to ask and respond to questions.Patients are informed that their case has been presented in the MDT to obtain multiple opinions, which gives them additional confidence. Orthoptists can see the impact of the measurements they provide, and how differing tests can change management plans.This MDT has been a positive change to our surgical strabismus patient pathway. Knowledge and teamwork have been strengthened using this innovative virtual discussion method.

Abstract
In this Letter, we present the design and performance of the frequency-dependent squeezed vacuum source that will be used for the broadband quantum noise reduction of the Advanced Virgo Plus gravitational-wave detector in the upcoming observation run. The frequency-dependent squeezed field is generated by a phase rotation of a frequency-independent squeezed state through a 285 m long, high-finesse, near-detuned optical resonator. With about 8.5 dB of generated squeezing, up to 5.6 dB of quantum noise suppression has been measured at high frequency while close to the filter cavity resonance frequency, the intracavity losses limit this value to about 2 dB. Frequency-dependent squeezing is produced with a rotation frequency stability of about 6 Hz rms, which is maintained over the long term. The achieved results fulfill the frequency dependent squeezed vacuum source requirements for Advanced Virgo Plus. With the current squeezing source, considering also the estimated squeezing degradation induced by the interferometer, we expect a reduction of the quantum shot noise and radiation pressure noise of up to 4.5 dB and 2 dB, respectively.

Abstract
Bio-piezoelectric materials are endowed with characteristic features such as non-invasiveness, small energy attenuation and deep tissue penetrability. Thus, they have the ability to serve as both diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for targeting and treating various dreaded disorders scourging mankind. Herein, piezoelectric nanotubes derived from a modified amino acid-containing dipeptide, phenylalanine-αβ-dehydrophenylalanine (Phe-ΔPhe; FΔF), possessing acoustic stimulation-triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS) generating ability, were employed and projected for achieving a piezo-active response enabled anti-cancer effect in glioma cells. A model anti-cancer drug doxorubicin (Dox) was also loaded into the nanotubes and the combined system depicted enhanced ROS production and cell killing under an acoustically developed piezo-catalytic environment. Cellular level assessment studies demonstrated that the dipeptide based piezoelectric nanotubes could lead to an increase in the cellular Ca2+ ion concentration, further inducing ROS-triggered cytotoxicity accompanied by high therapeutic efficacy in C6 glioma cells. Overall, our structures have the uniqueness of serving as acoustic stimulus-driven, wireless, and non-invasive electro-chemotherapeutic agents for enabling heightened cancer cell killing and may complement other chemotherapeutic modalities for treating the disease.

Abstract
Vortex flows, related to solar convective turbulent dynamics at granular scales and their interplay with magnetic fields within intergranular lanes, occur abundantly on the solar surface and in the atmosphere above. Their presence is revealed in high-resolution and high-cadence solar observations from the ground and from space and with state-of-the-art magnetoconvection simulations. Vortical flows exhibit complex characteristics and dynamics, excite a wide range of different waves, and couple different layers of the solar atmosphere, which facilitates the channeling and transfer of mass, momentum and energy from the solar surface up to the low corona. Here we provide a comprehensive review of documented research and new developments in theory, observations, and modelling of vortices over the past couple of decades after their observational discovery, including recent observations in H α , innovative detection techniques, diverse hydrostatic modelling of waves and forefront magnetohydrodynamic simulations incorporating effects of a non-ideal plasma. It is the first systematic overview of solar vortex flows at granular scales, a field with a plethora of names for phenomena that exhibit similarities and differences and often interconnect and rely on the same physics. With the advent of the 4-m Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope and the forthcoming European Solar Telescope, the ongoing Solar Orbiter mission, and the development of cutting-edge simulations, this review timely addresses the state-of-the-art on vortex flows and outlines both theoretical and observational future research directions.

Abstract
The use of hydrogels as scaffolds for three-dimensional (3D) cell growth is an active area of research in tissue engineering. Herein, we report the self-assembly of an ultrashort peptide, a tetrapeptide, Asp-Leu-IIe-IIe, the shortest peptide sequence from a highly fibrillogenic protein TDP-43, into the hydrogel. The hydrogel was mechanically strong and highly stable, with storage modulus values in MPa ranges. The hydrogel supported the proliferation and successful differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in its matrix as assessed by cell viability, calcium deposition, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and the expression of osteogenic marker gene studies. To check whether the hydrogel supports 3D growth and regeneration in in vivo conditions, a rabbit critical bone defect model was used. Micro-computed tomography (CT) and X-ray analysis demonstrated the formation of mineralized neobone in the defect areas, with significantly higher bone mineralization and relative bone densities in animals treated with the peptide hydrogel compared to nontreated and matrigel treatment groups. The ultrashort peptide-based hydrogel developed in this work holds great potential for its further development as tissue regeneration and/or engineering scaffolds.

Abstract
Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) is used to make ultrasound transducers, sensors, and actuators due to its large piezoelectric coefficient. Several micro-defects develop in the PZT sensor due to delamination, corrosion, huge temperature fluctuation, etc., causing a decline in its performance. It is thus necessary to identify, locate, and quantify the defects. Non-Destructive Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is the most optimal and economical evaluation method. Traditional ultrasound SHM techniques have a huge impedance mismatch between air and solid material, and most of the popular signal processing methods define time series signals in only one domain, which provides sub-optimal results for non-stationary signals. Thus, to improve the accuracy of detection, the point contact excitation and detection method is implemented to determine the interaction of ultrasonic waves with micro-scale defects in the PZT. The signal generated from this method being non-stationary in nature, it requires signal processing with changeable resolutions at different times and frequencies. The Haar Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT) is applied to the time series data obtained from the coulomb coupling setup. Using the above process, defects up to 100 μm in diameter could be successfully distinguished.

Abstract
Aim: Emergence of vancomycin (Van) resistance, and usage of its higher dose and short half-life are posing a serious concern. Slow and sustained release of Van using a nanodelivery system may overcome these problems. Materials & methods: Arginine-α,β-dehydrophenylalanine (RΔF) was synthesized using solution-phase synthesis which self-assembled into nanospheres. Van was entrapped in the nanoparticles (NPs). In vitro and in vivo efficacy of Van-RΔF was determined using broth microdilution and the mouse thigh infection model, respectively. Results & conclusion: Van-RΔF NPs efficiently inhibited bacterial growth (Staphylococcus aureus), while Van alone showed limited growth inhibition in in vitro. Intravenous administration of Van-RΔF in mice with bacterial thigh infection showed enhanced efficacy (double) compared with Van alone, which indicates its high potential for further development.

Abstract
Liver cirrhosis is a major health problem with multiple associated complications. The presently available drug delivery systems showed moderate site-specific delivery of antifibrotic molecules to the diseased liver; therefore, research on more effective and selective delivery systems in the context of liver cirrhosis remains a necessity in clinical investigation. The aim of the present study was to develop a peptide-based targeted nanocarrier to deliver an oligonucleotide to the hepatic sinusoidal and perivascular regions of the cirrhotic liver. We have synthesized and characterized a conformationally restricted targeted pentapeptide (RΔFRGD), which contains an unnatural amino acid, α,β-dehydrophenylalanine (ΔF). The RΔFRGD self-assembled into spherical nanoparticles (NPs) and was characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Next, we investigated the delivery potential of the pentapeptide-based NPs to make a stable complex with a well-established small interference RNA and studied its site-specific delivery in experimental liver cirrhosis. We used siNR4A1 of the orphan nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1), a well-known regulatory checkpoint for controlling liver fibrosis. Peptide NPs and their complex with siNR4A1 showed high biocompatibility against various mammalian cell lines. Hepatic tissue biodistribution analysis illustrated that targeted NPs predominantly accumulated in the cirrhotic liver compared to normal rats, specifically in sinusoidal and perivascular areas. A significant downregulation of the NR4A1 mRNA expression (-70%) andlower levels of the NR4A1/GAPDH ratio (-55%) were observed in the RΔFRGD-siNR4A1 nanocomplex-treated group in comparison to the RΔFRGD-vehicle group (RΔFRGD-Veh) at the gene and protein levels, respectively. In addition, in vivo inhibition of NR4A1 produced a significant aggravation in hepatic fibrosis compared with siRNA-vehicle-treated rats (+41% in the MT stain). The novel pentapeptide-based targeted delivery system can be further evaluated and validated for therapeutic purposes in various pathological conditions.

Abstract
A huge shortage of organ donors, particularly in the case of liver, has necessitated the development of alternative therapeutic strategies. Primary hepatocytes (pHCs) transplantation has made a considerable transition from bench to bedside, but the short-term viability and functionality of pHCs in in vitro limit their use for clinical applications. Different cell culture strategies are required to maintain the proliferation of pHCs for extended periods. Here, we described the formation of a hybrid scaffold based on a modified dipeptide for the culture of pHCs. First, the dipeptide (Dp), isoleucine-α,β-dehydrophenylalanine (IΔF) was synthesized, purified, and fully characterized. IΔF readily formed a highly stable hydrogel, which was also characterized by CD, TEM, and thioflavin T assay. The addition of soluble liver extracellular matrix (sLEM) to the dipeptide readily formed a hybrid scaffold that was characterized by TEM, and its mechanical strength was determined by rheology experiments. The hybrid scaffold was translucent, biocompatible, and proteolytically stable and, with its mechanical strength, closely mimicked that of the native liver. LEM1-Dp matrix exhibited high biocompatibility in the readily available adherent liver cell line Huh7 and primary rat hepatocyte cells (pHCs). pHCs cultured on LEM1-Dp matrix also maintained significantly higher cell viability and an escalated expression of markers related to the hepatocytes such as albumin as compared to that observed in cells cultured on collagen type I (Col I)-coated substrate plate (col-TCTP). Z-stacking of confocal laser microscopy's volume view clearly indicated pHCs seeded on top of the hydrogel matrix migrated toward the Z direction showing 3D growth. Our results indicated that low molecular weight dipeptide hydrogel along with sLEM can resemble biomimetic 3D-like microenvironments for improved pHCs proliferation, differentiation, and function. This hybrid scaffold is also easy to scale up, which makes it suitable for several downstream applications of hepatocytes, including drug development, pHCs transplantation, and liver regeneration.

Abstract
The marketability of pointed gourd fruit is drastically reduced after harvest due to moisture loss, chlorophyll degradation, yellowing of the skin, and shriveling. The present investigation studied the effect of exogenous salicylic acid (SA) treatment on senescence and fruit quality attributes of pointed gourd during storage under ambient conditions. Fruits were treated by immersing them in different concentrations of SA (1.0 mM, 2.0 mM, and 3.0 mM) and distilled water (control) for 5 minutes. The investigation showed beneficial effects of 3.0 mM SA treatment in lowering weight loss (16.8%), maintaining higher chlorophyll (32.8%) in the skin, and reducing lipid peroxidation (20.2%) compared to the control. SA (3.0 mM)-treated fruits retained 15.3% higher ascorbic acid and about 18% higher total phenol, flavonoids, and radical scavenging activity over pointed gourd fruits in the control group. However, significant difference in the total antioxidant capacity after 6 days of storage was not noted between SA-treated and control fruit. Thus, postharvest salicylic acid treatment can beneficially be used to extend marketability and delay quality deterioration of pointed gourd fruits stored under ambient conditions.

Abstract
Background
Heart failure (HF) constitutes a huge public health burden today with acute respiratory infections being among the main precipitating causes for hospitalization. On the other hand, HF is a known risk factor for pneumonia which is the most common cause of adult hospital admissions in the United States.
Objective
To examine the effect of HF on the in-hospital outcomes of pneumonia
Methods
The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database, 2016–2018, was queried for inpatient principal diagnosis of all-cause pneumonia, and the study group was stratified into those with and without HF as a secondary diagnosis, using International Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD-10) codes. Multivariate logistic and linear regression analyses were used to adjust for confounding. Stata 16 software was used for data analysis.
Results
1,929,598 adults were hospitalized with the primary diagnosis of pneumonia, of which 499,740 (25.9%) had HF. The incidence of mortality was 4.2% (n=20,785) in those with HF compared to 2.0% (n=28,365) in those without HF. The adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of inpatient mortality for pneumonia patients with HF compared to those without HF was 1.35 (95% CI, 1.29–1.42; p<0.001) when adjusted for patient demographics, comorbidities, and hospital characteristics. The adjusted hospital length of stay (LOS) in pneumonia patients with HF as compared to those without HF (mean difference= +1.40 days, p<0.001) was significantly longer. Complications such as arrhythmias (aOR=3.18; 95% CI, 3.12–3.25; p<0.001), acute hypoxic respiratory failure (aOR=1.26; 95% CI, 1.24–1.29; p<0.001), acute kidney injury (aOR=1.34; 95% CI, 1.31–1.37; p<0.001), septic shock (aOR=1.60; 95% CI, 1.41–1.81; p<0.001), cardiogenic shock (aOR=7.40; 95% CI, 5.65–9.65; p<0.001) and cardiac arrest (aOR=1.91; 95% CI, 1.71–2.14; p<0.001) were more common in pneumonia patients with HF than those without HF.
Conclusion
In patients hospitalized for pneumonia, HF is associated with increased odds of inpatient mortality and longer LOS. Complications such as arrhythmias, acute hypoxic respiratory failure, acute kidney injury, septic shock, cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest occur more frequently in pneumonia patients with HF.

Abstract
Use of tumor-associated antigens for cancer immunotherapy is limited due to their poor in vivo stability and low cellular uptake. Delivery of antigenic peptides using synthetic polymer-based nanostructures has been actively pursued but with limited success. Peptide-based nanostructures hold much promise as delivery vehicles due to their easy design and synthesis and inherent biocompatibility. Here, we report self-assembly of a dipeptide containing a non-natural amino acid, α,β-dehydrophenylalanine (ΔF), into nanotubes, which efficiently entrapped a MAGE-3-derived peptide (M3). M3 entrapped in F-ΔF nanotubes was more stable to a nonspecific protease treatment and both F-ΔF and F-ΔF-M3 showed no cellular toxicity for four cancerous and noncancerous cell lines used. F-ΔF-M3 showed significantly higher cellular uptake in RAW 267.4 macrophage cells compared to M3 alone and also induced in vitro maturation of dendritic cells (DCs). Immunization of mice with F-ΔF-M3 selected a higher number of IFN-γ secreting CD8+ T cells and CD4+ T compared to M3 alone. On day 21, a tumor growth inhibition ratio (TGI, %) of 41% was observed in a murine melanoma model. These results indicate that F-ΔF nanotubes are highly biocompatible, efficiently delivered M3 to generate cytotoxic T lymphocytes responses, and able to protect M3 from degradation under in vivo conditions. The F-ΔF dipeptide-based nanotubes may be considered as a good platform for further development as delivery agents.

Abstract
Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a malformation of the cerebral cortex with poorly-defined epileptogenic zones (EZs), and poor surgical outcome in FCD is associated with inaccurate localization of the EZ. Hence, identifying novel epileptogenic markers to aid in the localization of EZ in patients with FCD is very much needed. High-throughput gene expression studies of FCD samples have the potential to uncover molecular changes underlying the epileptogenic process and identify novel markers for delineating the EZ. For this purpose, we, for the first time performed RNA sequencing of surgically resected paired tissue samples obtained from electrocorticographically graded high (MAX) and low spiking (MIN) regions of FCD type II patients and autopsy controls. We identified significant changes in the MAX samples of the FCD type II patients when compared to non-epileptic controls, but not in the case of MIN samples. We found significant enrichment for myelination, oligodendrocyte development and differentiation, neuronal and axon ensheathment, phospholipid metabolism, cell adhesion and cytoskeleton, semaphorins, and ion channels in the MAX region. Through the integration of both MAX vs non-epileptic control and MAX vs MIN RNA sequencing (RNA Seq) data, PLP1, PLLP, UGT8, KLK6, SOX10, MOG, MAG, MOBP, ANLN, ERMN, SPP1, CLDN11, TNC, GPR37, SLC12A2, ABCA2, ABCA8, ASPA, P2RX7, CERS2, MAP4K4, TF, CTGF, Semaphorins, Opalin, FGFs, CALB2, and TNC were identified as potential key regulators of multiple pathways related to FCD type II pathology. We have identified novel epileptogenic marker elements that may contribute to epileptogenicity in patients with FCD and could be possible markers for the localization of EZ.

Abstract
Tailoring the characteristics of anisotropic nanostructures like size, morphology, aspect ratio, and size dispersity is of extreme importance due to the unique and tunable properties including catalytic, optical, photocatalytic, magnetic, photochemical, electrochemical, photoelectrochemical, and several other physical properties. The reverse microemulsion (RM) method offers a useful soft-template and low-temperature procedure that, by variation of experimental conditions and nature of reagents, has proved to be extremely versatile in synthesis of nanostructures with tailored properties. Although many reports of synthesis of nanostructures by the RM method exist in the literature, most of the research studies carried out still follow the "hit and trial" method where the synthesis conditions, reagents, and other factors are varied and the resulting characteristics of the obtained nanostructures are justified on the basis of existing physical chemistry principles. Mechanistic investigations are scarce to generate a set of empirical rules that would aid in preplanning the RM-based synthesis of nanostructures with desired characteristics as well as make the process viable on an industrial scale. A consolidation of such research data available in the literature is essential for providing future directions in the field. In this perspective, we analyze the literature reports that have investigated the mechanistic aspects of growth of anisotropic nanostructures using the RM method and distil the essence of the present understanding at the nanoscale timescale using techniques like FCS and ultrafast spectroscopy in addition to routine techniques like DLS, fluorescence, TEM, etc.

Abstract
Materials that exhibit responsiveness toward biological signals are currently subjected to intense research in the field of drug delivery. In our study, we tried to develop cancer-targeted and redox-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) from disulfide-linked oxidized cysteine-phenylalanine (CFO). The NPs were conjugated with folic acid (FA) to specifically target cancer cells, and the presence of disulfide bonds would enabled the disintegration of the particles in the presence of elevated levels of glutathione (GSH) in cancer cells. Anticancer drug doxorubicin (Dox) was successfully loaded inside the disulfide-linked nanoparticles (CFO-Dox-NPs), which further demonstrated stimuli-responsive drug release in the presence of GSH. We have also demonstrated enhanced uptake of FA-derivatized NPs (FA-CFO-NPs) in cancerous cells (C6 glioma and B16F10 melanoma cells) than in normal cells (HEK293T cells) due to the overexpression of FA receptors on the surface of cancer cells. Cytotoxicity studies in C6 cells and B16F10 cells further revealed enhanced efficacy of Dox loaded (FA-CFO-Dox-NPs) as compared to the native drug. The findings of this study clearly demonstrated that the disulfide-linked nanoparticle system may provide a promising selective drug delivery platform in cancer cells.

Abstract
Short peptides have attracted significant attention from researchers in the past few years due to their easy design, synthesis and characterization, diverse functionalisation possibilities, low cost, possibility to make a large range of hierarchical nanostructures and most importantly their high biocompatibility and biodegradability. Generally, short peptides are also relatively more stable than their longer variants, non-immunogenic in nature and many of them self-assemble to provide an exciting range of nanostructures, including hydrogels. Thus, the development of short peptide-based hydrogels has become an area of intense investigation. Although these hydrogels have a water content of greater than 90%, they are surprisingly highly stable structures, and thus have been used for various biomedical applications, including cell therapeutics, drug delivery, tissue engineering and regeneration, contact lenses, biosensors, and wound healing, by different researchers. Herein, we review the progress of research in the rapidly expanding field of short to ultrashort peptide-based hydrogels and their possible applications. Special attention is paid to address and review this field with regard to the stability of peptide-based hydrogels, particularly to enzymatic degradation.

Abstract
The NOvA experiment has seen a 4.4σ signal of ν[over ¯]_{e} appearance in a 2 GeV ν[over ¯]_{μ} beam at a distance of 810 km. Using 12.33×10^{20} protons on target delivered to the Fermilab NuMI neutrino beamline, the experiment recorded 27 ν[over ¯]_{μ}→ν[over ¯]_{e} candidates with a background of 10.3 and 102 ν[over ¯]_{μ}→ν[over ¯]_{μ} candidates. This new antineutrino data are combined with neutrino data to measure the parameters |Δm_{32}^{2}|=2.48_{-0.06}^{+0.11}×10^{-3} eV^{2}/c^{4} and sin^{2}θ_{23} in the ranges from (0.53-0.60) and (0.45-0.48) in the normal neutrino mass hierarchy. The data exclude most values near δ_{CP}=π/2 for the inverted mass hierarchy by more than 3σ and favor the normal neutrino mass hierarchy by 1.9σ and θ_{23} values in the upper octant by 1.6σ.

Abstract
Reverse micelles (RMs) as soft templates have been successfully used in tailoring the structural characteristics (size and morphology) of nanomaterials that in turn have been used in various applications. In this work, we have focused on the local perturbations in the different interior domains of the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-reverse micelle-based soft template en route to nanorod formation by monitoring the solvation response of coumarin-based solvatochromic probes (C343 and C153). We have observed an appreciable retardation of the solvent coordinate during the initial phases of nanorod growth, which we have attributed to the reorientational motion of the water molecules lodged in the interfacial region. Moreover, these rigid nanostructures leave their imprints on the soft interfacial layer as was observed from the direct correlation in the solvation response of RM-containing nanostructures and respective surfactant aggregates in supernatant solution. Supporting data from time-resolved anisotropy studies further reinforced our conclusions from the solvation experiments. Our study proves that the hydration dynamics can be a promising tool in tracking the heterogeneous growth evolution of nanostructure formation in RMs since solvent reorganization provides insights into the intrinsic, molecular-level features of the micellar assemblies.

Abstract
Modern theories of decision-making typically model uncertainty about decision options using the tools of probability theory. This is exemplified by the Savage framework, the most popular framework in decision-making research. There, decision-makers are assumed to choose from among available decision options as if they maximized subjective expected utility, which is given by the utilities of outcomes in different states weighted with subjective beliefs about the occurrence of those states. Beliefs are captured by probabilities and new information is incorporated using Bayes' Law. The primary concern of the Savage framework is to ensure that decision-makers' choices are rational. Here, we use concepts from computational complexity theory to expose two major weaknesses of the framework. Firstly, we argue that in most situations, subjective utility maximization is computationally intractable, which means that the Savage axioms are implausible. We discuss empirical evidence supporting this claim. Secondly, we argue that there exist many decision situations in which the nature of uncertainty is such that (random) sampling in combination with Bayes' Law is an ineffective strategy to reduce uncertainty. We discuss several implications of these weaknesses from both an empirical and a normative perspective. This article is part of the theme issue 'Risk taking and impulsive behaviour: fundamental discoveries, theoretical perspectives and clinical implications'.

Abstract
N-benzhydrylpiperazine and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles are pharmacologically active scaffolds which exhibits significant inhibitory growth effects against various cancer cells, however, antiproliferation effects and the underlying mechanism for inducing apoptosis for aforementioned scaffolds addressing HeLa cancer cells remains uncertain. In this study, N-benzhydrylpiperazine clubbed with 1,3,4-oxadiazoles (4a-4h) were synthesized, subsequently characterized using high resolution spectroscopic techniques and eventually evaluated for their antiproliferation potential by inducing apoptosis in HeLa cancer cells. The MTT assay screening results revealed that among all, compound 4d ( N-benzhydryl-4-((5-(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl)piperazine) in particular, exhibited IC 50 value of 28.13 ± 0.21 μg/mL and significantly inhibited the proliferation of HeLa cancer cells in concentration-dependent manner. The in vitro anticancer assays for treated HeLa cells resulted in alterations in the cell morphology, reduction in colony formation, and inhibition of cell migration in concentration-dependent treatment. Furthermore, G2/M phase arrest, variations in the nuclear morphology, degradation of chromosomal DNA confirmed the ongoing apoptosis in treated HeLa cells. Increase in the expression of cytochrome C and caspase-3 confirmed the involvement of intrinsic mitochondrial pathway regulating the cell death. Also, elevation in reactive oxygen species level and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential signified that compound 4d induced apoptosis in HeLa cells by generating the oxidative stress. Therefore, compound 4d may act as a potent chemotherapeutic agent against human cervical cancer.

Abstract
Conjugated copolymers have attracted much attention because of their outstanding photo-physical properties. The present work reports for the first time, microwave-assisted copolymerization of o-phenylenediamine with luminol using different weight ratios of the two monomers. The composition of the copolymers was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) while monomer reactivity ratios were determined using the Fineman–Ross method. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy revealed the variation in polaronic states upon copolymerization while X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses showed the morphology of the copolymers to be intermediate between that of the homopolymers. Confocal analysis and fluorescence studies revealed that the copolymers showed composition based blue as well as red emission which could be utilized for in vivo imaging of cancer cells.

Abstract
Since the introduction of acetyl cholinesterase inhibitors as the first approved drugs by the US Food and Drug Administration for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in clinics, less than satisfactory success in the design of anti-AD agents has impelled the scientists to also focus toward inhibition of Aβ aggregation. Considering the specific binding of fragments for their parent peptide, herein, we synthesized more than 40 new peptides based on a C-terminus tetrapeptide fragment of Aβ1-42. Initial screening by MTT cell viability assay and supportive results by ThT fluorescence assay led us to identify a tetrapeptide showing complete inhibition for Aβ1-42 aggregation. Peptide 20 displayed 100% cell viability at 20 μM concentration, while at lower concentrations of 10 and 2 μM 76.6 and 70% of cells were viable. Peptide 20 was found to restrict the conformational transition of Aβ1-42 peptide toward β-sheet structure. Inhibitory activity of tetrapeptide 20 was further evidenced by the absence of Aβ1-42 aggregates in electron microscopy. Peptide 20 and other significantly active tetrapeptide analogues could prove imperative in the future design of anti-AD agents.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an aggressive tumor with limited systemic and locoregional modalities of treatment. Although microRNA (miRNA) based therapies have significant potential, their targeted delivery remains a major challenge. miR-199a-3p functions as an important tumor suppressor in HCC, which regulates various cellular processes. Recently, peptide-based nanoparticles (NPs) have been developed to deliver oligonucleotides including miRNA. Here, we describe the synthesis and characterization of arginine α,β-dehydrophenylalanine (RΔF) nanoparticles for the selective delivery of miR-199a-3p to restore dysregulated gene expression in HCC. Targeted delivery was achieved by conjugating lactobionic acid (LA) with RΔF NPs (RΔF-LA NPs), a ligand for the asialoglycoprotein receptor known to be overexpressed in HCC cell lines. RΔF-LA NPs condensed miR-199a-3p had an average size of ∼60nm and a zeta potential of ∼+2.54 mV. RΔF-LA/miR NPs were found to be stable in serum as well as against RNase attack. RΔF-LA/miR NPs showed an enhanced cellular uptake and an efficient delivery of miR-199a-3p leading to a significant increase in miR-199a-3p levels (over 500 fold). The increased miR-199a-3p levels remarkably suppressed cell proliferation and migration as well as induced cellular apoptosis and downregulation of the specific target gene (mTOR) in vitro. RΔF-LA/miR NPs showed high tumor/ low organ ratios after intravenous injection into HCC tumor bearing nude mice. RΔF-LA/miR NPs treated mice demonstrated>50% decline in tumor growth, which also corresponded well with suppression of mTOR protein expression, tumor cell proliferation and increased survival rate (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION RΔF-LA/miR NPs showed significantly enhanced delivery of the miRNA which underscores their potential for further development as a therapeutic approach for HCC.

Abstract
Two approaches exist in the literature for describing the orientational distribution function (ODF) of the molecular directors in SmA* phase of liquid crystals, though several models are recently proposed in the literature for explaining the de Vries behaviour. These ODFs correspond to either the conventional unimodal arrangements of molecular directors arising from the mean field theory that leads to the broad or sugar-loaf like distribution or to the "diffuse-cone-shaped" type distribution proposed by de Vries. The hypothesis by de Vries provides for a realistic explanation as to how at a molecular level, a first-order SmA* to SmC* transition can occur where the uniform molecular director azimuthal distributions condense to values lying within a narrow range of angles; finally these condense to a single value while at the same time ensuring a little or no concomitant shrinkage in the layer spacing. The azimuthal distribution of the in-layer directors is probed using IR and polarized Raman spectroscopic techniques. The latter allows us to obtain the ODF and the various order parameters for the uniaxial and the biaxial phases. Based on the results of these measurements, we conclude that the "cone-shaped" (or volcano-shaped) de Vries type of distribution can most preferably describe SmA* where "a first-order phase transition from SmA* to SmC*" and a low layer shrinkage can both be easily explained.

Abstract
PurposeSeverely subluxated crystalline lenses pose a difficult situation to anterior segment surgeons and can only be managed surgically by removal of the lens as well as the capsular bag. Several techniques have been described in literature for the management of such cases. We describe a modified technique of endocapsular lens aspiration by the limbal route for lens extraction through small incisions on the cornea.Patients and methodsThirty-two eyes of 16 consecutive patients with severely subluxated crystalline lenses were recruited in the study. All eyes underwent a modified technique of lens aspiration within the capsular bag using a single instrument, vitrectomy cutter, and irrigation cannula, followed by sacrificing of the capsular bag. The patients were either left aphakic or implanted with an open loop anterior chamber intraocular lens (ACIOL Kelman Multiflex) and prospectively followed up for a period of 3 months.ResultsThe mean age of the patients was 9 years 3 months±3 years (range 5-15 yrs). All eyes underwent complete lens aspiration within the capsular bag with no dislocation of the lens matter. ACIOL was inserted in 22 eyes (68.7%) and 10 eyes (31.2%) were left aphakic. All the surgeries were uneventful. The mean best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 3 months post surgery was 0.47±0.11 logMAR which was significantly better than pre-operative BCVA (P=0.001). The percentage endothelial cell loss at 3 months was 7.1%. There was no evidence of glaucoma, corneal decompensation, or retinal detachment. The astigmatism which increased from 1.45D±086 preoperatively to 3.76D±2.02 1 week post-operatively due to sutures reduced to 1.97D±0.81 post suture removal at 3 months.ConclusionThe modified technique of endocapsular lens aspiration proves to be a simple and effective method of removal of the lens-capsular bag complex in severely subluxated lenses.

Abstract
This Letter reports new results on muon neutrino disappearance from NOvA, using a 14 kton detector equivalent exposure of 6.05×10^{20} protons on target from the NuMI beam at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The measurement probes the muon-tau symmetry hypothesis that requires maximal θ_{23} mixing (θ_{23}=π/4). Assuming the normal mass hierarchy, we find Δm_{32}^{2}=(2.67±0.11)×10^{-3} eV^{2} and sin^{2}θ_{23} at the two statistically degenerate values 0.404_{-0.022}^{+0.030} and 0.624_{-0.030}^{+0.022}, both at the 68% confidence level. Our data disfavor the maximal mixing scenario with 2.6σ significance.

Abstract
Abstract
Obese individuals with breast cancer have a poorer prognosis and higher risk of metastatic disease vs. non-obese patients. Prior research has largely focused on defining the interactions between adipocytes and tumor cells, but other cell types may also play a role. Adipose tissue in obese individuals is characterized by a significant infiltration of macrophages. We have therefore investigated the adipocyte-macrophage interaction as a possible mechanism whereby obesity promotes breast cancer metastasis.
We performed co-culture with both human and murine cells to determine whether adipocytes influence the expression of metastasis-promoting signals in macrophages. For the human system we co-cultured primary breast adipocytes with THP-1 macrophages. For the murine system we co-cultured 3T3-L1 differentiated adipocytes with J774.1 macrophages. We then assayed the mRNA levels and protein expression of metastasis-promoting genes.
In both systems we found that co-culture with adipocytes increased the expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A) in macrophages. In examining a potential mechanism, we also show that media collected from cultured adipocytes (adipocyte-conditioned media) activates the transcription factor Egr-1 in macrophages. Since Egr-1 is a known regulator of VEGF-A expression, this is a potential mechanism whereby VEGF-A transcription is up-regulated. Treatment of human macrophages with Interleukin-6, Leptin and Insulin induced VEGF-A levels to a similar degree as co-culture, identifying these as adipocyte-derived signals that can possibly mediate this effect.
In summary we have found that the interaction between adipocytes and macrophages leads to the up-regulation of the pro-angiogenic signal VEGF-A in macrophages. Therefore this represents a potential mechanism whereby obesity could promote breast cancer metastasis.

Abstract
Lectins are omnipresent in almost all life forms, being the proteins which specifically bind to carbohydrate moieties on the cell surface; they have been explored for their anti-tumour activities. In this study, we purified a fucose specific-lectin (IFL) from Fenneropenaeus indicus haemolymph using fucose-affinity column and characterized for its haemagglutination activity, carbohydrate specificity, dependency on cations and cytotoxicity against cancer cells. The lectin showed non-specificity against human erythrocytes. It was a Ca2+-dependent lectin which remained stable over wide pH and temperature ranges. The lectin showed effective dose dependent cytotoxicity against different human cancer cell lines and induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells as evidenced by DNA ladder assay and PARP cleavage in a dose dependent manner. Moreover, an increased p21 level corresponding to cyclin D downregulation in response to IFL treatment was observed which might work as probable factors to inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis of MCF-7 cells. Therefore, we report a novel lectin from the prawn haemolymph with high specificity for L-fucose and antiproliferative towards human cancer cells. However, further establishment of the modus operandi of this lectin is required to enable its biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Nanostructures including hydrogels based on peptides containing non protein amino acids are being considered as platform for drug delivery because of their inherent biocompatibility and additional proteolytic stability. Here we describe instantaneous self-assembly of a conformationally restricted dipeptide, LeuΔPhe, containing an α,β-dehydrophenylalanine residue into a highly stable and mechanically strong hydrogel, under mild physiological aqueous conditions. The gel successfully entrapped several hydrophobic and hydrophilic drug molecules and released them in a controlled manner. LeuΔPhe was highly biocompatible and easily injectable. Administration of an antineoplastic drug entrapped in the gel in tumor bearing mice significantly controlled growth of tumors. These characteristics make LeuΔPhe an attractive candidate for further development as a delivery platform for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
The therapeutic efficacy of Picroliv-a standardized-was investigated in male rats exposed to CdCl2 (0.5 mg/kg, sc), 5 days/week for 18 weeks. Picroliv at two doses (6 and 12 mg/kg, po) was given to the cadmium (Cd)-administered group for the last 4 weeks (ie, weeks 15 -18). The Cd altered oxidative stress indices, such as increased lipid peroxidation and membrane fluidity, reduced levels of non-protein sulphydryls (NPSHs), and Na-K-ATPase activity in the liver and kidney were found close to the control values by Picroliv treatment, suggesting its antioxidant potential. The hepatoprotective action of Picroliv was evident by its ability to lower the Cd-induced liver function parameters-the serum enzymes, such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), g-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Bile flow and biliary Cd also increased as a result of Picroliv's choleretic property. The Cd-induced serum urea and urinary excretion of proteins, calcium (Ca), Cd and enzymes, such as Nacetyl-b-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and LDH, were less marked on Picroliv treatment, indicating recovery from nephrotoxicity. Organ uptake of Cd and essential metals by Cd exposure was reduced on Picroliv treatment. Cdinduced hepatic metallothionein (MT) was lowered by Picroliv, whereas renal MT was unaltered. Cd-induced hepatic damage was also minimized. However, the renal morphological changes were marginally protected by Picroliv. The 12-mg Picroliv dose was more effective than the 6-mg dose in causing amelioration of the above parameters. This study has provided clear evidence for the hepato-and renal protective efficacy of Picroliv against experimental Cd toxicity.

Abstract
The potential of Picroliv, a herbal extract against acute cadmium (Cd) intoxication, was evaluated in male rats. Biochemical and histopathological profile in rats pretreated with Picroliv (12 mg/kg, oral) followed by a single dose of Cd as cadmium chloride (CdCl2) (3 mg/kg, ip) revealed marked suppression of oxidative stress in liver and testes. The Cd-induced enhanced levels of lipid peroxidation, membrane fluidity and reduced levels of nonprotein sulphydryls and Na+K+ATPase were significantly restored to near normal by Picroliv pretreatment. In addition, the Cd-induced serum levels of glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, glutamate pyruvate transaminase, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase and lactate dehydrogenase were restored to near basal levels. Hepatic and testicular histopathological damage was also minimized. The results strongly suggest definite hepatoand testicular protection by Picroliv. The antioxidant potential of the herbal extract in the major part, and not its chelating property, seems to be responsible for its ameliorative action.

Abstract
Amyloid-β aggregation is a major etiological phenomenon in Alzheimer's disease. Herein, we report peptide-based inhibitors that diminish the amyloid load by obviating Aβ aggregation. Taking the hexapeptide fragment, Aβ32-37, as lead, more than 40 new peptides were synthesized. Upon evaluation of the newly synthesized hexapeptides as inhibitors of Aβ toxicity by the MTT-based cell viability assay, a number of peptides exhibited significant Aβ aggregation inhibitory activity at sub-micromolar concentration range. A hexapeptide (1) showed complete mitigation of Aβ toxicity in the cell culture assay at 2 μM. In the ThT fluorescence assay, upon incubation of Aβ with this peptide, we observed no increase in the ThT fluorescence relative to control. The secondary structure estimation by circular dichroism spectroscopy and morphological examination by transmission electron microscopy further confirmed the results.

Abstract
We report results from the first search for ν_{μ}→ν_{e} transitions by the NOvA experiment. In an exposure equivalent to 2.74×10^{20} protons on target in the upgraded NuMI beam at Fermilab, we observe 6 events in the Far Detector, compared to a background expectation of 0.99±0.11(syst) events based on the Near Detector measurement. A secondary analysis observes 11 events with a background of 1.07±0.14(syst). The 3.3σ excess of events observed in the primary analysis disfavors 0.1π<δ_{CP}<0.5π in the inverted mass hierarchy at the 90% C.L.

Abstract
Fluoride toxicity through potable water, particularly ground water, is not uncommon in countries such as India, China, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, parts of Africa and Afghanistan. Kidney being the main organ involved in fluoride removal, it accumulates considerable amount of fluoride. Here, we report toxic effects of oral exposure of Swiss albino mice to fluoride (sub-acute: 190 mg/kg body wt. for 7 days; and sub-chronic: 94 mg/kg body wt. for 90 days) and recovery of sub-chronic fluoride exposed mice after 90 days of sodium fluoride (NaF) withdrawal. The role of diet supplements (Spirulina and tamarind fruit pulp @ 230 mg/kg body wt. independently as well as in combination) in amelioration of fluoride toxicity has also been screened. Compared with controls, feed intake decreased from 3-43%, body wt. 4-18%, and kidney wt. 5-12% in treated mice (except diet supplement groups of sub-chronic exposure) while their water intake increased from 4-43%. Histopathological changes in the cortical region of kidney in fluoride treated mice were as follows: dilation of bowman's capsule and thickening of its parietal and visceral layer; alterations in glomeruli size and their sclerotization; increase in bowman's space; proliferation of mesangial cells; reduction in podocyte counts; and dilation of proximal and distal tubules. Fluoride exposure altered tissue biochemistry (protein, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase content) and increased urea (23-58%) and creatinine content (14-127%) in the serum. Sub-acute exposure was found more toxic. The diet modulation not only reduced fluoride toxicity but also led to better recovery of treated mice after withdrawal, especially in combination.

Abstract
Pregnancy in a rudimentary uterine horn is a rare event with an estimated incidence of 1 in 76,000 to 1 in 1,40,000 pregnancies. Unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn has a high incidence of obstetric and gynecological complications. Ruptured ectopic pregnancy in the rudimentary horn is one of the most dreaded complications, which can have grave consequences for both mother and fetus. In the majority of the cases, it is detected after rupture of the horn, usually during the first or second trimester of pregnancy. An ultrasonographic diagnosis made prior to rupture of the rudimentary horn may prevent this catastrophic outcome. We report a case of a G2 P1 L1 with a ruptured left rudimentary horn pregnancy at 16 weeks of gestation that was misdiagnosed as a pregnancy in the left uterine horn of a bicornuate uterus on prior prenatal ultrasound. The patient presented to our hospital with abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. A diagnosis of ruptured left rudimentary horn pregnancy was made on the basis of emergency ultrasound and was later confirmed on laparotomy. The left rudimentary horn along with the ipsilateral fallopian tube was excised.
