Background & Method: The study was conducted in the Department of Medicine Shyam Shah Medical College and Associated Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Rewa (M.P). History was followed by a careful clinical examination i.e. cardiovascular, respiratory and gastrointestinal and nervous system. Investigations had done included routine haematological examination, Biochemical analysis, urine examination, ECG, 2 D. Echo & Histopathological examination was done. Result: ST-T changes were most common finding in Aluminium phosphide poisoning in relation to mortality. However hyperkalemia was the most ominous finding associated with 100% mortality, ECG finding in EDB was normal ECG. The most ominous finding was arrhythmia which was associated with 100% mortality. Survivors of ethylene dibromide poisoning echocardiography was normal in 11 (84.61%) followed by pericardial effusion in 2 (15.38%) patients. Conclusion: Noteworthy finding was absence of correlation between cardiovascular involvement, histopathological changes and ECG findings. It was seen that even if ECG showed normal pattern there were significant histopathological changes in heart. Keywords: electro-cardiographic, Aluminium phosphide, ethylene dibromide & poisoning.

<div> <p>The synthesis, characterization, and activity of Pd-doped layered double hydroxides (Pd-LDHs) for for acceptorless amine dehydrogenation is reported. These multifunctional catalysts comprise Brønsted basic and Lewis acidic surface sites that stabilize Pd species in 0, 2+, and 4+ oxidation states. Pd speciation and corresponding cataytic performance is a strong function of metal loading. Excellent activity is observed for the oxidative transamination of primary amines and acceptorless dehydrogenation of secondary amines to secondary imines using a low Pd loading (0.5 mol%), without the need for oxidants. N-heterocycles, such as indoline, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, and piperidine, are dehydrogenated to the corresponding aromatics with high yields. The relative yields of secondary imines are proportional to the calculated free energy of reaction, while yields for oxidative amination correlate with the electrophilicity of primary imine intermediates. Reversible amine dehydrogenation and imine hydrogenation determine the relative imine:amine selectivity. Poisoning tests evidence that Pd-LDHs operate heterogeneously, with negligible metal leaching; catalysts can be regenerated by acid dissolution and re-precipitation.</p> </div> <br>

Abstract To exploit the potential of ecological intensification during sunflower cropping, it is crucial to understand the potential synergies between crop management and ecosystem services. We therefore examined the effect of pollination intensification on sunflower yield and productivity under various levels of soil fertilization over two seasons in the eastern Free State, South Africa. We manipulated soil fertility with fertilizer applications and pollination with exclusion bags. We found a synergetic effect between pollination and soil fertilization whereby increasing pollination intensity led to a far higher impact on sunflower yield when the soil had been fertilized. Specifically, the intensification of insect pollination increased seed yield by approximately 0.4 ton/ha on nutrient poor soil and by approximately 1.7 ton/ha on moderately fertilized soil. Our findings suggest that sunflower crops on adequate balanced soil fertility will receive abundant insect pollination and may gain more from both synergies than crops grown in areas with degraded soil fertility.

In the present work, ZrO2-based composites were prepared by adding different amounts of antibacterial magnesium oxide and bioactive and biocompatible hydroxyapatite (HAP) to the inert zirconia. The composites were synthesized by the conventional ceramic processing route and morpho-structurally analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). Two metallic dental alloys (i.e., Ni–Cr and Co–Cr) coated with a chitosan (Chit) membrane containing the prepared composites were exposed to aerated artificial saliva solutions of different pHs (i.e., 4.3, 5, 6) and the corrosion resistances were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique. The obtained results using the two investigated metallic dental alloys shown quasi-similar anticorrosive properties, having quasi-similar charge transfer resistance, when coated with different ZrO2-based composites. This behavior could be explained by the synergetic effect between the diffusion process through the Chit-composite layer and the roughness of the metallic electrode surface.

In this research, the effect of water-silica slurry impacts on polylactic acid (PLA) processed by fused deposition modeling (FDM) is examined under different conditions with the assistance of an adaptive neuro-fuzzy interference system (ANFIS). Building orientation, layer thickness, and slurry impact angle are considered as the controllable variables. Weight gain resulting from water, net weight gain, and total weight gain are the predicting variables. Results uncover the accomplishment of the ANFIS model to appropriately appraise slurry erosion in correlation with comparing real data. Both experimental and ANFIS results are almost identical with average percentage error less than 5.45 × 10−6. We observed during the slurry impacts tests that all specimens showed an increase in their weights. This weight gain was finally interpreted to the synergetic effect of water absorption and the solid particles fragmentations immersed within the specimens due to the successive slurry impacts.

AbstractChronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the accumulation of malignant and immature white blood cells which spread to the peripheral blood and other tissues/organs. Despite the fact that current tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are capable of achieving the complete remission by reducing the tumor burden, severe adverse effects often occur in CML patients treated with TKIs. The differentiation therapy exhibits therapeutic potential to improve cure rates in leukemia, as evidenced by the striking success of all-trans-retinoic acid in acute promyelocytic leukemia treatment. However, there is still a lack of efficient differentiation therapy strategy in CML. Here we showed that MPL, which encodes the thrombopoietin receptor driving the development of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, decreased along with the progression of CML. We first elucidated that MPL signaling blockade impeded the megakaryocytic differentiation and contributed to the progression of CML. While allogeneic human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) treatment efficiently promoted megakaryocytic lineage differentiation of CML cells through restoring the MPL expression and activating MPL signaling. UC-MSCs in combination with eltrombopag, a non-peptide MPL agonist, further activated JAK/STAT and MAPK signaling pathways through MPL and exerted a synergetic effect on enhancing CML cell differentiation. The established combinational treatment not only markedly reduced the CML burden but also significantly eliminated CML cells in a xenograft CML model. We provided a new molecular insight of thrombopoietin (TPO) and MPL signaling in MSCs-mediated megakaryocytic differentiation of CML cells. Furthermore, a novel anti-CML treatment regimen that uses the combination of UC-MSCs and eltrombopag shows therapeutic potential to overcome the differentiation blockade in CML.

AbstractCOVID-19 vaccination is being conducted in over 200 countries and regions to control SARS-CoV-2 transmission and return to a pre-pandemic lifestyle. However, understanding when non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) can be lifted as immunity builds up remains a key question for policy makers. To address this, we built a data-driven model of SARS-CoV-2 transmission for China. We estimated that, to prevent the escalation of local outbreaks to widespread epidemics, stringent NPIs need to remain in place at least one year after the start of vaccination. Should NPIs alone be capable of keeping the reproduction number (Rt) around 1.3, the synergetic effect of NPIs and vaccination could reduce the COVID-19 burden by up to 99% and bring Rt below the epidemic threshold in about 9 months. Maintaining strict NPIs throughout 2021 is of paramount importance to reduce COVID-19 burden while vaccines are distributed to the population, especially in large populations with little natural immunity.
