We reviewed recent advances related to RIN4, including its involvement in the immune process through posttranslational modifications, PM H

-ATPase activity regulation, interaction with EXO70 and identification of RIN4-associated NLR proteins. RPM1-interacting protein 4 (RIN4) is a conserved plant immunity regulator that has been extensively studied and can be modified by pathogenic effector proteins. RIN4 plays an important role in both PTI and ETI. In this article, we review the functions of the two conserved NOI domains of RIN4, the C-terminal cysteine residues required for membrane localization and the sites targeted and modified by effector proteins during plant immunity. In addition, we discuss the effect of RIN4 on the stomatal virulence of pathogens via the regulation of PM H

-ATPase activity, which is involved in the immune process through interactions with the exocyst subunit EXO70, and progress in the identification of RIN4-related R proteins in multiple species. This review provides new insightd R proteins in multiple species. This review provides new insights enhancing the current understanding of the immune function of RIN4.The bioaccessibility of some elements (As, B, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Zn) in soils and vegetables was determined using the physiologically based extraction test. An investigation of the geochemical phases of soils through sequential extraction methods followed by ICP-MS detection was also undertaken. DICA Samples were collected from Iskele, Begendikler and Yolbasi villages in the Bigadic region and Yildiz village in the Susurluk region of Balikesir province, Turkey. All of these villages are close to boron mines. Principal component analysis and correlation analysis demonstrated the interrelationship between the bioaccessibility values of these elements in the gastric and intestinal extracts of soils as well as the plant samples grown in those soils and the elements' concentrations in the different soil fractions. From the bioaccessible concentrations of the elements in the intestinal phases, it was shown that the amounts of As, B, Cu, Mn and Ni in some plant samples were higher than the recommended and tolerable values for human consumption. The bioaccessibilty of these elements in the soils and plants were statistically related with the concentrations of these elements in the labile phases of the soil. The methodology adopted here would be applicable to determining interactions between elements and soil fractions and the interrelationships between bioaccessibility data and soil fractions for any soil samples.Dystonia is an abnormal involuntary movement or posture owing to sustained or intermittent muscle contraction. Standard treatment for dystonia includes medications, such as levodopa, anticholinergic and antiepileptic drugs, botulinum toxin, and baclofen pump, and surgeries, such as lesioning surgery and deep-brain stimulation. New treatment modalities aimed toward improving dystonia care in the future are under investigation. There are two main axes to improve dystonia care; one is non-invasive neuromodulation, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial electrical stimulation, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. The other is a quantitative evaluation of dystonia using a wearable device and motion-capturing system, which can be empowered by artificial intelligence. In this article, the current status of these axes will be reviewed.The paper focuses on the effect of ponds (geographically isolated wetlands) on water quality within internally drained areas in a river catchment. The important part of the study was the point of formation of a periodic hydrographic network of internally drained areas linked with a main river as well as the identification of the circulation pattern of ions in such a system. The aim of the study was to examine the extent to which ponds pollute the main river upon physical connection with it. Research has shown that ponds participate actively in material circulation-including that of water and biogenic ions. The hydrographic network in Young Glacial areas is subject to very large seasonal changes. In the study area, the total length of the stream network in the dry season equaled 12 km, while in the wet season almost 75 km. At the same time, almost 50% of the internally drained areas in the catchment became connected with the surface runoff network. Such large seasonal changes in the hydrographic network yield large changes in stream water chemistry. In the study area, only 6 ponds were linked to the stream network during the dry season, while in the wet season, this number increased to 125. The parts of catchments featuring the largest changes in the hydrographic network as well as the largest number of ponds temporarily linked with surface runoff networks were characterized by a high content of total nitrogen and phosphorus-up to 244.2 kg N km2 per month and 26.2 kg P km2 per month.The increasing trend of population growth along with the rapid groundwater-based agricultural expansion and decreasing trend of mean annual rainfall in the Northwest region of Bangladesh has been exacerbating the declination of groundwater for further expansion. Therefore, the present study attempts to demarcate the potential groundwater abstraction zones from the assessment of potential recharge and available recharge. Potential recharge was obtained with commonly used geospatial-based weighted linear combination (WLC) technique. Here, WLC analysis was based on eight factors related to physiographic (e.g. drainage density, lineament density, slope), geomorphologic (e.g. geomorphology, lithology, soil), land use and land cover (LULC) and hydrology (i.e. rainfall). Available net recharge was assessed for the period 1993-2017 by employing the water table fluctuation method. Finally, the resultant map on potential abstraction was characterized into five different classes, viz. 'very low', 'low', 'moderate', 'high' and 'very high'. The derived map reveals that 'very high' potential zone is distributed along the Teesta river floodplain, especially the northeastern part. In contrast, the Barind Tract (i.e. the southwestern and the southcentral parts) area shows 'very low' groundwater prospect. Such fused interpretations are expected to contribute to the planning of integrated management of water resources.The mussel Perna perna is one of the most used bioindicators of coastal areas and the most economically exploited species in Brazil through mariculture. In the present study, P. perna was used to investigate metal pollution in the estuarine area of Vitória Bay. Four sampling sites were located along an estuarine branch of Vitória Bay and stations were sampled during three campaigns. link2 Trace metals in the tissues of P. perna were evaluated as well as dissolved trace metals and other ancillary variables in the water column. Dissolved Cd, Pb, Cu, Ni, and Fe concentrations surpassed the tolerance limits stablished by legislation in all the sampling campaigns. P. perna exhibited concentrations in disagreement with the Brazilian legislation for Cr and As. A general trend of higher concentrations in outer stations was observed for most metals, what suggested the occurrence of flocculation process in the lower estuary, reducing the concentrations of dissolved elements and increasing their bioavailability for the biota through the particulate form. Cd was highlighted with elevated concentrations in dissolved fraction but not detected in P. perna, probably due to chlor-complex formation under influence of more saline waters. Al, Ba, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr, Pb, and As were considered bioavailable, once they were accumulated in the mussels' tissues. Hazard index (HI) and target cancer risk (TCR) showed that the consumption of mussels from the study area offers health risk issues, being iron and arsenic the main contributors for the high indexes.Anthropogenic activities release effluents containing nutrients and pathogenic bacteria that change the characteristics of coastal ecosystems. An important type of marine pollution which has occurred in 3 different states in India during 2019 is sea foam. Sea foam was found on Hole beach, Goa (Lat 15.404° N, Long 73.787° E), where nutrients (NO3- = 137 μM and organic nitrogen = 121 μM) from a garbage dumpyard are released directly via streams/gutters to coastal waters. This resulted in a bloom of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana, associated with high concentration of total organic carbon and fucoxanthin. Decay of this bloom along with strong agitation due to rocks and wave action resulted in sea foam. We isolated foam-associated bacteria and identified pathogenic bacteria including Enterobacter cancerogenus through 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Such foam-associated pathogenic bacteria, could be antibiotic resistant, and may have adverse effects on human health. This can also hamper the tourism industry of a small state like Goa that relies heavily on tourism.Simultaneous reconstructions of entire circumference pharyngoesophageal defect and external neck skin defect are challenges for head and neck surgeons. link3 A 57-year old man, who underwent radical tumor resection, suffered with an advanced metachronous second primary esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SPESCC). Our modified operative technique (mALT-TAAP), a combination of modified free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap (a fasciocutaneous flap with an extension of fascia) and pedicled thoracoacromial artery perforator (TAAP) flap, was utilized to reconstruct the entire circumference of pharyngoesophageal and external neck skin defect reconstructions. The modified ALT flap, TAAP flap and donor wounds recovered well postoperatively. No morbidity of the donor site or operation-related complication was observed. The postoperative recovery of swallowing function was satisfactory. Our mALT-TAAP reconstruction method could be a decent option for simultaneous reconstructions of entire circumference of pharyngoesophageal defect and external neck skin defect.Assessment of swallowing function is often invasive or involves irradiation. Analysis of swallowing sounds is a noninvasive method for assessment of swallowing but is not used in daily medical practice. Dysphagia could be the first symptom that occurs in head and neck cancer. This study evaluated a method for the automatic detection and analysis of swallowing sounds in healthy subjects and in patients with pharyngolaryngeal cancer. A smartphone application, developed for automatic detection and analysis of swallowing sounds was developed and tested in 12 healthy volunteers and in 26 patients with pharyngolaryngeal cancer. Swallowing sounds were recorded with a laryngophone during a standardized meal (100 mL mashed potatoes, 100 mL water, and 100 mL yogurt). Swallowing number and duration were noted; the results were compared to a standard swallowing sound analysis using the software AUDACITY®. There were no statistically significant differences in swallowing number or duration between the two analysis methods for the three types of foods in healthy volunteers and only for water in patients. In healthy volunteers, the results of our automatic analysis were comparable with those obtained with the standard analysis. However, a better discrimination of swallowing sounds is necessary for the algorithm to obtain reliable results with thicker food in patients with head and neck cancer.
