Physiological, biochemical and enzymatic quality parameters of primed seed of rapeseed-mustard genotypes.

High-quality seed of improved genotypes is a critical key to well attract the consumers. Therefore, a two-year laboratory experiment was carried out at Department of Seed Science and Technology, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, West Bengal, India in 2018 and 2019 in a triplicated factorial completely randomized design to determine the quality parameters of the newly produced seeds from plants of six rapeseed-mustard genotypes (Anushka and Sanchita (rapeseed), TBM-204 and TBM-143 (yellow seed coated mustard), Kranti and Pusa Bold (black seed coated mustard)) grown under five seed priming (KHPO (0.15 mol), KNO (0.

Differential Expression of miRNAs Between Young-Onset and Late-Onset Indian Colorectal Carcinoma Patients.

Reports indicate a worldwide increase in the incidence of Early-Onset Colorectal Carcinoma (EOCRC) (<50 years old). In an effort to understand the different modes of pathogenesis in early-onset CRC, colorectal tumors from EOCRC (<50 years old) and Late-Onset patients (LOCRC; >50 years old) were screened to eliminate microsatellite instability (MSI), nuclear β-catenin, and mutations, as these are known canonical factors in CRC pathogenesis. Small-RNA sequencing followed by comparative analysis revealed differential expression of 23 miRNAs (microRNAs) specific to EOCRC and 11 miRNAs specific to LOCRC.

Potential of satellite hyperspectral imaging technology in soil health analysis: A step towards environmental sustainability.

Due to extensive anthropogenic activities, soil fertility may degrade severely, threatening the food security. Traditional soil sampling from fields, and their subsequent chemical analysis, is invasive, time-consuming, and not economical at the regional or global level. Remote sensing techniques, specifically the hyperspectral imaging due to their sensitive narrow wavelength bands, offer a non-invasive, fast, reliable, and economical technique to map soil health parameters at the regional scale.

Temperature gradient focusing of bio-analyte in a microfluidic channel dealing with non-Newtonian electrolyte considering temperature-dependent zeta potential.

Temperature gradient focusing (TGF) relies on establishing a precise balance between the electrophoretic motility of a target analyte and the advective flow of the background electrolyte (BGE) to locally concentrate the analyte in a microfluidic configuration. This paper presents a finite-element-based numerical analysis where the coupled electric field and the transport equations are solved to describe the effects of the shear-dependent apparent viscosity of a non-Newtonian BGE on the localized concentration buildup of a charged bio-sample inside a microchannel by TGF via Joule heating. Effects of the temperature-dependent nature of the wall zeta potential and the flow behavior index (n) of BGE on the flow, thermal, and species concentration profiles inside the microchannel have been investigated.

Kaempferol with Verapamil impeded panoramic chemoevasion pathways in breast cancer through ROS overproduction and disruption of lysosomal biogenesis.

Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) at low level promotes cell survival through lysosome induced autophagy induction. Glucose stress induced acidosis, hypoxia, ROS, upregulates markers related to cancer stemness and multidrug resistance. Also, lysosomal upregulation is proposed to be one of the important indicators of cell survival under ROS induced stress.

Satellite hyperspectral imaging technology as a potential rapid pollution assessment tool for urban landfill sites: case study of Ghazipur and Okhla landfill sites in Delhi, India.

Hyperspectral imaging technology has been used for biochemical analysis of Earth's surface exploiting the spectral reflectance signatures of various materials. The new-generation Italian PRISMA (PRecursore IperSpettrale dellaMissione Applicativa) hyperspectral satellite launched by the Italian space agency (ASI) provides a unique opportunity to map various materials through spectral signature analysis for recourse management and sustainable development. In this study PRISMA hyperspectral satellite imagery-based multiple spectral indices were generated for rapid pollution assessment at Ghazipur and Okhla landfill sites in Delhi, India.

Kaempferol attenuates viability of ex-vivo cultured post-NACT breast tumor explants through downregulation of p53 induced stemness, inflammation and apoptosis evasion pathways.

Early onset of chemotherapy evasion is a therapeutic challenge. Chemotherapy-induced upregulation of stem cell markers imparts invasiveness and metastatic property to the resident tumor. The efficacy of Kaempferol in attenuating epithelial to mesenchymal transition has earlier been established in the breast cancer cell.

Esophageal Intramural Haematoma related Dysphagia: A rare complication after thrombolysis.

Esophageal Intramural Haematoma (EIH) is a rare entity usually caused by repeated emesis or trauma. It is diagnosed on the basis of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and radiology. Treatment is conservative unless hemodynamic instability prevails.

Serial measurements of faecal calprotectin may discriminate intestinal tuberculosis and Crohn's disease in patients started on antitubercular therapy.

Background: Response to antitubercular therapy (ATT) is often used to differentiate intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) from Crohn's disease. Role of non-invasive biomarkers to predict mucosal response to ATT is unclear.

Materials And Methods: A prospective study to compare faecal calprotectin and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels at diagnosis, 2 and 6 months of ATT in patients with suspected ITB started on ATT was done.

Symptomatic myositis ossificans following computer navigated total knee replacement: a complication of fixed femoral marker placement.

Myositis ossificans is a rare cause of pain following knee arthroplasty. We describe a 72-year-old woman who developed symptomatic early onset myositis ossificans at the femoral marker pin site following navigated knee arthroplasty.

Oxygen binding to sulfur in nitrosylated iron--thiolate complexes: relevance to the Fe-containing nitrile hydratases.

Iron-nitrosyl complex containing S-bonded monosulfinate [PPN][(NO)Fe(S,SO2-C6H4)(S,S-C6H4)] (3) has been isolated from sulfur oxygenation of complex [PPN][(NO)Fe(S,S-C6H4)2] (2) which is obtained from addition of NO molecule to [PPN][(C4H8O)Fe(S,S-C6H4)2] (1) in organic solvents. This result reveals that binding of NO to the iron center promotes sulfur oxygenation of iron dithiolates by dioxygen and stabilizes the S-bonded sulfinate iron species. Analysis of the bond angles for complexes 2 and 3 reveals that iron is best described as existing in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination environment surrounded by one NO, three thiolates, and one sulfinate in complex 3, whereas the distorted square pyramidal geometry is adopted in complex 2.
