Subsequently, the signal intensities of the cerebellar and thalamic lesions diminished and the basal ganglia lesions disappeared, but the severe neurologic sequelae remained. The cerebellum is reportedly particularly sensitive to thermal damage because Purkinje cells are believed to be vulnerable to heat. Although brain imaging studies revealed reversible changes, her disturbance of consciousness was prolonged. Therefore, brain magnetic resonance imaging findings might not reflect the neurologic prognosis in patients with neuroleptic malignant syndrome.In this theoretical work nonlinear behavior of dust ion acoustic solitary waves (SWs) has been investigated, and then the effect of the adiabatic change on them has been observed. The complex plasma system consists of inertial positive and negative ions, Maxwell's electrons, and positively and negatively charged stationary dust particles. The effects of dust polarity on the dust ion acoustic SWs have also been observed. Using the reductive perturbation method, we first derive K-dV equation which lets to analyze both the positive (bright) and negative (dark) solitons in a very limited region. After that mK-dV equation has been derived, and this let to analyze positive soliton for a large region, but cannot show the negative soliton. Finally, the Gardner equation has been derived employing the same method, through which we were able to analyze both the positive and negative solitons for a large region. It has been found that both the positive and negative solitons significantly depend on the mass number density, ion number density, and dust polarity in the adiabatic and isothermal system.Solobacterium moorei (S. moorei) has been described as Gram-positive, non spore forming, obligate anaerobic bacillus from human feces. The traditional culture and identification of these strains is very difficult (as the strains are often not cultivable or they grow only relatively slowly, in addition to producing only a very few positive biochemical reactions in commercially available identification kits); thus, reliable identification may only be carried out using methods, such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and DNA sequencing. Regarding its pathogenic role, the relevance of S. moorei in halitosis (oral malodor) has a good standing, as it has been suggested by multiple studies, while the isolation of these bacteria from invasive infections is very rare; there are only a few reports available in the literature, regarding infections outside the oral cavity. Based on these reports, affected patients are predominantly characterized compromised immunity and are frequently associated with a dental focus of infection. The aim of our present review is to summarize the currently available knowledge on the pathogenic role of S. moorei in halitosis and other infections and to emphasize the relevance of this neglected anaerobic pathogen.(-)-Epicatechin (EC) is a flavanol that has shown numerous biological effects such as decrease risk of cardiovascular dysfunction, metabolism regulation, skeletal muscle (SkM) performance improvement and SkM cells differentiation induction, among others. The described EC acceptor/receptor molecules do not explain the EC's effect on SkM. We hypothesize that the pregnane X receptor (PXR) can fulfill those characteristics, based on structural similitude between EC and steroidal backbone and that PXR activation leads to similar effects as those induced by EC. In order to demonstrate our hypothesis, we 1) analyzed the possible EC and mouse PXR interaction through in silico strategies, 2) developed an EC's affinity column to isolate PXR, 3) evaluated, in mouse myoblast (C2C12 cells) the inhibition of EC-induced PXR's nucleus translocation by ketoconazole, a specific blocker of PXR and 4) analyzed the effect of EC as an activator of mouse PXR, evaluating the expression modulation of cytochrome 3a11 (Cyp3a11) gen and myogenin protein. (-)-Epicatechin interacts and activates PXR, promoting this protein translocation to the nucleus, increasing the expression of Cyp3a11, and promoting C2C12 cell differentiation through increasing myogenin expression. These results can be the base of further studies to analyze the possible participation of PXR in the skeletal muscle effects shown by EC.Lime is one of the most commonly consumed medicinal plants in Indonesia, which must be dried to preserve its quality, but mostly by using traditional, ineffective drying method. Therefore, this study aims to investigate lime drying process a hybrid solar drying method. The hybrid solar dryer consisted of a solar dryer and Liquefied Petroleum Gas as the supplementary heater. The drying process was conducted until there was no significant weight decrease, with the drying temperature of 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 °C. Thin-layer modeling and quality analysis were also conducted. The experimental results indicated that 5 h was required to sufficiently dry the lime at 80 °C, while drying at 40 °C took 24 h to finish. The drying rate curve of lime suggested that lime drying mostly happened during the falling-rate period. Moreover, the average efficiency of the hybrid solar dryer ranged from 5.36% to 38.61%, which increased with temperature. From the 10 thin-layer drying models used, the Wang and Singh model was the most suitable to describe the drying behavior of lime. The effective diffusivity values of the limes and the activation energy value during hybrid solar drying were within their respective acceptable range for agricultural products. However, as the drying temperature was increased from 40 to 80 °C, the total phenolic content and vitamin C content decreased, from 87.3 to 27.8 mg GAE/100 g dry limes and 0.118 to 0.015 ppm, respectively. It can be concluded that hybrid solar dryer is able to sufficiently dry the lime, with acceptable drying time and dryer efficiency, although using high drying temperature will decrease the quality of dried lime. Further modifications and improvements to the hybrid solar dryer are required to maximize the quality of dried lime while still maintaining fast and effective drying process.This article presents an analysis of the potential forest damage that occurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic in rural communities on the Forest Management Unit (FMUs). It focused on forest utilization and deforestation before and during the epidemic. Base on The data on online surveys using Google form instruments, Zoom meetings, and in-depth telephone interviews with the informants. The data of the research were analyzed descriptively using the mind mapping method. The data analysis shows that social and economic impacts potentially enhance the threat of forest resource utilization-increasing pressure on the forest due to the increase in forest product demand. Even though the government made efforts to minimize forest degradation and prevent illegal logging, the communities didn't follow the policy because there were no alternative solutions. Glycochenodeoxycholic acid The timber logging is carried out into a threat to forest degradation when it's not immediately prevented. The FMU needs to improve access to rural living near the forest to increase their forest income. These solutions are crucial for reducing illegal logging activities and forest degradation in the pandemic.The compositional analysis of volatile compounds of Nigella sativa L. seeds obtained from India and Bangladesh was carried out in this study. Apart from the proportion of volatile compounds, the chemical composition of seeds from both sources were similar. The major volatile compounds in Bangladesh seeds were p-cymene (36.35%), thymoquinone (29.77%), α-thujene (12.40%), carvacrol (2.85%), β-pinene (2.41%), limonene (1.64%), methyl linoleate (1.33%) and sabinene (1.18%), contribution of these is 87.93% of the total volatile oil. On the other hand, the major volatile compounds in Indian seeds were p-cymene (41.80%), α-thujene (13.93%), thymoquinone (10.27%), methyl linoleate (4.02%), carvacrol (3.65%), β-pinene (2.96%), d-limonene (2.11%), 4,5-epoxy-1-isopropyl-4- methyl-1-cyclohexene (1.80%), sabinene (1.50%) and 4-terpineol (1.22%); contribution of these were 83.24% of the total volatile oil. In both seeds, p-cymene, thymoquinone, and α-thujene were the major components. Importantly, N. sativa seeds of Bangladesh contained almost 3-fold thymoquinone compared to Indian seeds. In conclusion, the seeds from Bangladesh contain a higher amount of terpene ketones (29.86%) represented by thymoquinone in comparison to Indian seeds (10.61%); on the other hand, Indian seeds contained a higher amount of terpene hydrocarbons (63.18%) mainly p-cymene, compared to Bangladesh seeds (54.53%). This is the first study to report detailed compositional analysis and comparison of Nigella sativa L. seeds from Bangladesh and India.An analysis is made to illustrate the MagnetoHydroDynamics (MHD) flow and gradient heat transport of a Newtonian fluid over a stretching sheet embedded in a porous matrix. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are reconstituted as ordinary differential equations utilizing suitable similarity transformation and then treated numerically using 4th order Runge-Kutta method along with shooting technique and analytically by Homotopy Perturbation Method. The verification of present study with earlier works serves as the benchmark of reliability of the present study. The important outcomes of this study are porous parameter (K p ) acts as aiding force i.e when K p is increased from 0.1 to 10 gradually there is a significant growth in velocity and after that rate of increment gets slowdown, greater Eckert number and joule heating parameter cause a rise in temperature as well as enhance the thermal boundary thickness. Consequently rate of heat transfer diminishes as thickness leads to low heat transfer coefficient. The applications of this study are shown in multiple heating devices and industrial processes such as incandescent light bulb's filament emitting light, food processing and polymer processing etc.The majority of protein secretion in bacteria is mediated by the T2SS pathway. Substrates processed through this pathway are guided by the N-terminal signal sequence within the nascent polypeptide. Recent experimental evidence suggests that in similar secretory pathways, such as the T3SS, information in the 5' coding region of the mRNA affects secretion and may also participate in mRNA localization. The majority of studies on the effects of AU richness on translation have focussed on the 5' UTR in mRNAs. To look at the effects of AU richness within the coding region of mRNA on secretion, we have generated several silent mutations within the 5' coding region of the E. coli heat-stable enterotoxin b (STb). This toxin is a well studied T2SS substrate. The mutations were generated such that AU richness within the 5' coding region (corresponding to the N-terminal signal sequence) was gradually reduced. Reduction of AU richness within the first 15 codons resulted in reduced secretion of the toxin as the AU/GC ratio was reduced from 2.13 for the WT STb to 1.65 (S-I) and subsequently to 1.30 (S-II). This reduction did not correlate with mRNA accumulation and decreased stability of the transcripts could not account for the reduced secretion observed. Reduction of AU richness beyond the first 15 codons recovered secretion efficiency of the toxin (S-III). To validate the experimental approach, a positive control was used in which a mutation involving the insertion of a positive charge within the hydrophobic domain of the N-terminal signal sequence was constructed. As expected, this mutation abolished secretion of the toxin. In conclusion, reducing AU richness within the 5'coding region in the STb mRNA reduces toxin secretion but other factors, such as formation of hairpins, must also be taken into consideration. This will have implications for both homologous and heterologous expression of STb for biological studies and for toxin production.
