E24cKO mouse mesenteric arteries were more sensitive to DEA/NO-induced vasorelaxation and less responsive to AngII- and α-adrenergic-induced vasoconstriction at baseline. Only the latter two effects were still present after 2 weeks of chronic AngII treatment. We conclude that editing of Mypt1 E24, by shifting the expression of naturally occurring isoforms and sensitizing to NO-mediated vasodilation, could be a novel approach to the treatment of human hypertension.Various strategies have been developed globally to conserve germplasm by propagating plants. One important technique is in vitro propagation and preservation through tissue culture. In many investigated plants, the long in vitro conservation is plagued with several limitations like genetic variations, developmental errors in cells or tissues due to induced stress. This provoked us to conduct a study of Catharanthus roseus culture maintained for over fourteen long years and a newly established 8-month-old culture. The present study investigated and compared the two tissue types differing by their age. The biomass accumulation, the biochemical differences of the two, dead cell analysis with aging via confocal microscopy, and liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS)-based proteomic differences were studied in old and newly established Catharanthus culture. The proteomic study reveals more than 120 upregulated or high abundance proteins in old culture as compared to newly established Catharanthus. The identry. The 2C DNA size of this Catharanthus (old culture) plant is 1.516 pg, which is very similar to new culture-derived plants' and field-grown plants' genome size. No anomaly in genome size was noted in plants of old culture, as opposed to common perception.Pneumosinus dilatans of the sphenoid sinus is a rare disorder which can be responsible for visual impairment and blindness. We present the case of an adolescent female who experienced progressive decrease in right-eye vision over 2 years. CT scan of the head showed an extensive pneumatization of the sphenoid bone extending to the lesser wing of the sphenoid and to the anterior clinoid process on the right side. Ginsenoside Rg1 in vitro MRI revealed right nerve atrophy in the optic canal and in the posterior part of the orbit. A surgical decompression of the right optic canal was performed via an intradural fronto-pterional approach. Postoperatively, her vision worsened, and at 3 years the patient was able to count fingers at 2.5 m. Our case and literature review of symptomatic sphenoidal pneumosinus dilatans confirmed that visual prognosis in such cases depended on the preoperative visual status. Early surgical decompression should be proposed whenever possible, before signs of severe visual disorders and optic atrophy.Internet of Things is a fast growing technology and a network of devices in which everything (smart objects or smart devices) are associated to the internet for effective exchange of information between these connected objects. Internet of Things (IoT) serves as a method for healthcare and acts as an essential part in broad range of real-time healthcare monitoring applications. Previous work shows networked sensor devices, either equipped on the body or embedded inside living being or a camera, make possible in gathering real-time information to evaluate physical and mental health state of the patient by collecting body temperature, blood pressure, patient's image, etc. Communicating this collected real-time data to the doctor, making accurate assessment on the data gathered and notifying the patient is challenging task in the IoT. The architechture of Internet of Things comprises of three layers, and it is the network of devices embedded with sensor, software, and electronics, enabling this device to communicate with each other and exchange data over a computer network. The IoT-based real-time healthcare systems are highly vulnerable to cyber-attacks as the numbers of sensors are deployed in an unprotected network. These may even introduce the attacks, which cannot be monitored and controlled. This paper attempts to review the previous work done and a new scheme has been proposed, the new lightweight authentication protocol for smart real-time healthcare. The proposed scheme requires implementation with the authentication protocol. It is important to satisfy the major parameters of security confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and access control. In this paper our focus is on the authentication of devices.Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) is a rhabdovirus that causes high mortality in cultured flounder. Viral growth and virulence rely on the ability to inhibit the cellular innate immune response. In this study, we investigated differences in the modulation of innate immune responses of HINAE flounder cells infected with low- and high-virulence VHSV strains at a multiplicity of infection of 1 for 12 h and 24 h and performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)-based transcriptome analysis. A total of 193 and 170 innate immune response genes were differentially expressed by the two VHSV strains at 12 and 24 h postinfection (hpi), respectively. Of these, 73 and 77 genes showed more than a twofold change in their expression at 12 and 24 hpi, respectively. Of the genes with more than twofold changes, 22 and 11 genes showed high-virulence VHSV specificity at 12 and 24 hpi, respectively. In particular, IL-16 levels were more than two time higher and CCL20a.3, CCR6b, CCL36.1, Casp8L2, CCR7, and Trim46 levels were more than two times lower in high-virulence-VHSV-infected cells than in low-virulence-VHSV-infected cells at both 12 and 24 hpi. Quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) confirmed the changes in expression of the ten mRNAs with the most significantly altered expression. This is the first study describing the genome-wide analysis of the innate immune response in VHSV-infected flounder cells, and we have identified innate immune response genes that are specific to a high-virulence VHSV strain. The data from this study can contribute to a greater understanding of the molecular basis of VHSV virulence in flounder.We investigated and analysed the molecular evolution of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus during the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 influenza seasons in Beijing, China. We collected and extracted RNA from influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 strains from Peking University People's Hospital and analyzed their HA and NA genes by RT-PCR and sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis of HA and NA sequences was used to compare the amino acid sequences of 51 strains with those of reference strains. All strains belonged to subclade 6B.1, with S162N and I216T substitutions (H1 numbering). Our strains differed from strain A/Michigan/45/2015, with the substitutions S91R, S181T and I312V in the HA antigenic epitope. An E189G mutation was detected in the 190 helix of the receptor binding region of HA. A new potential glycosylation site, 179 (NQT), which was not detected before the 2015 influenza season, was identified. Two strains were mutated at I223, the NA inhibitor resistance site. During 2012-2019, amino acids of HA and NA mutated over time.
