Nucleophagy, the mechanism for autophagic degradation of nuclear material, occurs in both a macro- and micronucleophagic manner. Upon nitrogen deprivation, we observed, in an in-depth fluorescence microscopy study, the formation of micronuclei small parts of superfluous nuclear components surrounded by perinuclear ER. We identified two types of micronuclei associated with a corresponding autophagic mode. Our results showed that macronucleophagy degraded these smaller micronuclei. Engulfed in Atg8-positive phagophores and containing cargo receptor Atg39, macronucleophagic structures revealed finger-like extensions when observed in 3-dimensional reconstitutions of fluorescence microscopy images, suggesting directional growth. Interestingly, in the late stages of phagophore elongation, the adjacent vacuolar membrane showed a reduction of integral membrane protein Pho8. This change in membrane composition could indicate the formation of a specialized vacuolar domain, required for autophagosomal fusion. Significantly larger micronuclei formed at nucleus vacuole junctions and were identified as a substrate of piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus (PMN), by the presence of the integral membrane protein Nvj1. Micronuclei sequestered by vacuolar invaginations also contained Atg39. A detailed investigation revealed that both Atg39 and Atg8 accumulated between the vacuolar tips. These findings suggest a role for Atg39 in micronucleophagy. Indeed, following the degradation of Nvj1, an exclusive substrate of PMN, in immunoblots, we could confirm the essential role of Atg39 for PMN. Our study thus details the involvement of Atg8 in both macronucleophagy and PMN and identifies Atg39 as the general cargo receptor for nucleophagic processes.Abbreviations DIC Differential interference contrast, FWHM Full width at half maximum, IQR Interquartile range, MIPA Micropexophagy-specific membrane apparatus, NLS Nuclear localization signal, NVJ Nucleus vacuole junction, PMN Piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus, pnER Perinuclear ER.Although alcohol-intoxicated witnesses to violent crimes are common, research on how alcohol affects witnesses' perception of aggression is sparse. Roblitinib nmr In the present study, it was investigated whether different levels of intoxication altered how severe witnesses perceived aggression displayed by involved parties in an intimate partner violence (IPV) scenario to be. An experimental mixed-groups design 3 (sober vs. moderate vs. high breath alcohol concentration [BAC]) x 2 (immediate vs. one week delayed interview) was used. Socially drinking men and women (n = 137; 67 and 70, respectively) were randomized to an alcohol condition (0.8 g/kg adjusted to 0.75 g/kg for women, divided into two intoxication groups moderate ≤0.08 and high ≥0.08) or a control condition (juice). They were also randomized into a direct interview condition or a delayed interview condition. In a laboratory setting, they consumed drinks and viewed an IPV scenario on film. During their interview, the participants rated how severe they perceived igation.Digitalized healthcare services offer remote and cost-effective treatment of diabetes patients. Thus, the present online study analyzed the readiness to use telemonitoring among Austrian diabetes patients. We developed and validated a German version of the patient telehealth readiness assessment tool and performed quantitative context analysis of free-text comments on perceived barriers and benefits of telemonitoring. Participants (n = 41, 42.6% females) achieved a medium average readiness level for telemonitoring. The three top benefits were intensified care, shorter travel and waiting times, and better therapy adjustment. The top three barriers were data privacy issues, loss of personal communication and focus on blood sugar, and teledoctor competence. Diabetes patients represent a suitable target group for remote treatment opportunities. However, a shift from traditional face-to-face medical care to exclusive telemonitoring treatment from diagnosis to consultation and treatment requires fundamental new legal framework conditions.Bullying and childhood obesity are public health concerns in the United States. While obesity has been found to be associated with bullying victimization, it is less clear how it is differentially associated with biological sex and grade level across varying patterns of bullying victimization. Based on the subset of U.S. students in the Health Behavior in School-Aged Children study, patterns of co-occurring bullying victimization and sex and grade level differences in the association between the patterns of bullying victimization and weight status were examined among 9,124 students in Grades 5 to 10. The latent class analysis revealed three patterns of bullying victimization verbal-relational victimization (Class 1), all-type victimization (Class 2), and noninvolved pattern (Class 3). The results found that females had a higher likelihood of being in Class 1 than males. Moreover, fifth to sixth and seventh to eighth-graders were more likely than ninth to tenth graders to be in both Class 1 and Class 2. Obese males and overweight females were more likely to be in Class 1 and Class 2 than in Class 3. In addition, obesity and overweight status were positively associated with bullying victimization among fifth to sixth and seven to eighth-graders. However, no significant association was found between obesity and overweight status and bullying victimization among ninth to tenth graders. Findings from the study suggest that school-based strategies, especially sex- and age-specific programs, need to take into consideration the bullying involvement of students who are overweight or obese.BACKGROUND Being aware of the challenges that may occur during the implementation of peer support work in psychiatry is important to facilitate the integration of peer support workers (PSWs) into multidisciplinary mental health-care teams. AIM The purpose of this study is to explore the challenges faced by PSWs during their integration into hospital-based mental health-care teams. METHODS Qualitative content analysis of nine open-ended, semi-structured interviews with PSWs is undertaken in five adult psychiatric hospitals in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. RESULTS The analysis of the data revealed three themes (1) 'Pioneers and the pressure to succeed'; (2) 'a colleague, a rival or yet another patient?' and (3) 'sharing of information, boundaries and professionalism'. All three themes relate to several concrete challenges on different systemic levels and have the potential to impede the PSWs' integration process. CONCLUSION Specific implementation strategies which address potential barriers on the different systemic levels should be developed and applied prior to the start of the integration of PSWs into multidisciplinary mental health-care teams.
