Abstract
Postpartum acute kidney injury (AKI) is a condition characterized by a sudden and rapid decline in kidney function that occurs shortly after childbirth. Several risk factors may be associated with postpartum acute kidney injury (AKI). Understanding the possible risk factors is essential for timely intervention and improved maternal healthcare. The aim of the study was to assess the risk factors of postpartum acute kidney injury patients. This prospective observational study took place at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, from March 2020 to April 2021. It was carried out in the Departments of Nephrology and Departments of Obstetrics & Gynecology, where 153 postpartum acute kidney injury (AKI) patients were enrolled through purposive sampling. The study collected data on patient demographics, etiology and presentation. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 26.0, with a significance threshold set at p<0.05 for all tests. Among participants, puerperal sepsis (77.8%) and toxemia of pregnancy (58.8%) were prevalent risk factors. Intrauterine death was rare (1.3%). Other risk factors such as postpartum hemorrhage 22.2%, HELLP syndrome 11.1%, and antepartum hemorrhage 15.0% were found. A statistically significant difference in postpartum hemorrhage prevalence (p=0.038) was noted between hemodialysis and non-hemodialysis patients. Puerperal sepsis is the most common risk factor for postpartum acute kidney injury, closely followed by toxemia of pregnancy. Intrauterine death is rare, while postpartum hemorrhage significantly affects subjects, with variations noted between hemodialysis and non-hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
This observational study was carried out in the Department of Nephrology, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh from January 2020 to December 2020. A total of 179 patients were included in this study according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Informed written consent was taken from each patient. All patients were underwent detail history taking, thorough physical examination and relevant investigations. Data collection was conducted through a structured questionnaire. Collected data were analyzed using the statistical software SPSS 23.0. Mean age ±SD of the study patients was 47.06±14.1 with a majority in age group 41-50 years. Male predominance was observed with a male: female ratio of 2.19:1 and 68.7% male patients. Level of pre-dialysis, post-dialysis urea in the study population was 123.77±26.86mg/dl, 50.27±15.70mg/dl respectively and mean ±SD of Urea Reduction Ratio (URR) in hemodialysis (target >65.0%) was 67.2±1.9. Most of the 8 hours (two times) per week hemolysis patients could not achieve the target value of dialysis adequacy parameters. On the other hand, maximum people in 12 hours (three times) per week hemodialysis group achieved the target value of dialysis adequacy parameters. It is important to calculate Kt/V or URR and individualize the dialysis doses for each patient.

Abstract
Thy-1 (CD90) is a well-known marker of fibroblasts implicated in organ fibrosis, but its contribution to skin fibrosis remains unknown. We examined Thy-1 expression in scleroderma skin and its potential role as a biomarker and pathogenic factor in animal models of skin fibrosis. Skin from patients with systemic sclerosis demonstrates markedly elevated Thy-1 expression compared to controls, co-localizes with fibroblast activator protein (FAP) in the deep dermis, and is correlated with the severity of skin involvement (MRSS). Serial imaging of skin from Thy-1 YFP reporter mice by IVIS showed an increase in Thy-1 expression which correlated with onset and progression of fibrosis. In contrast to lung fibrosis, Thy-1 KO mice had attenuated skin fibrosis in both bleomycin and Tsk-1 murine models. Moreover, Thy-1 regulated key pathogenic pathways involved in fibrosis including inflammation, myofibroblast differentiation, apoptosis and multiple additional canonical fibrotic pathways. Therefore, while Thy-1 deficiency leads to exacerbated lung fibrosis, in skin it is protective. Moreover, Thy-1 may serve as a longitudinal marker to assess skin fibrosis.

Abstract
We report a precise measurement of the parity-violating (PV) asymmetry A_{PV} in the elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from ^{48}Ca. We measure A_{PV}=2668±106(stat)±40(syst) parts per billion, leading to an extraction of the neutral weak form factor F_{W}(q=0.8733 fm^{-1})=0.1304±0.0052(stat)±0.0020(syst) and the charge minus the weak form factor F_{ch}-F_{W}=0.0277±0.0055. The resulting neutron skin thickness R_{n}-R_{p}=0.121±0.026(exp)±0.024(model) fm is relatively thin yet consistent with many model calculations. The combined CREX and PREX results will have implications for future energy density functional calculations and on the density dependence of the symmetry energy of nuclear matter.

Abstract
We report precision determinations of the beam-normal single spin asymmetries (A_{n}) in the elastic scattering of 0.95 and 2.18 GeV electrons off ^{12}C, ^{40}Ca, ^{48}Ca, and ^{208}Pb at very forward angles where the most detailed theoretical calculations have been performed. The first measurements of A_{n} for ^{40}Ca and ^{48}Ca are found to be similar to that of ^{12}C, consistent with expectations and thus demonstrating the validity of theoretical calculations for nuclei with Z≤20. We also report A_{n} for ^{208}Pb at two new momentum transfers (Q^{2}) extending the previous measurement. Our new data confirm the surprising result previously reported, with all three data points showing significant disagreement with the results from the Z≤20 nuclei. These data confirm our basic understanding of the underlying dynamics that govern A_{n} for nuclei containing ≲50 nucleons, but point to the need for further investigation to understand the unusual A_{n} behavior discovered for scattering off ^{208}Pb.

Abstract
Glomerular disease is one of the most important causes of chronic kidney disease in developing countries like Bangladesh as well as the whole world. The pattern of glomerular disease varies in different countries and can have different clinical presentations. The aim of the study was to analyze the clinical profile and to determine the histological pattern of glomerular diseases in a large tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh. All kidney biopsies performed in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh from October 2018 to March 2020 were prospectively analyzed in the study. A total of 101 patients with kidney biopsy were examined by clinical and laboratory findings and by light and immuno-fluorescence microscopy. The mean age was 30.0±14.6 years and 50(49.5%) were male and 51(50.5%) were female with a male to female ratio of 1:1. The clinical syndromes namely nephrotic syndrome, nephritic syndrome, nephrito-nephrotic presentation, RPGN like presentation, macroscopic haematuria and asymptomatic urine abnormality were present in 31.7%, 34.5%, 22.8%, 11.9%, 19.8% and 10.9% patients respectively. The most common histological varieties found in the study were mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MesPGN) (18.8%) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) (18.8%). Other histopathological pattern among the studied subjects revealed minimal change disease (MCD) in 5.9%, membranous nephropathy (MN) in 7.9%, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) in 16.8%, IgA nephropathy in 5%, IgM nephropathy in 2%, IgG nephropathy in 2%, diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis (DPGN) in 1%, focal proliferative glomerulo-nephritis (FPGN) in 3%, crescentic GN in 3%, lupus nephritis (LN) in 13.9%, amyloidosis in 1% and fibrillary glomerulopathy in 1% patient. The pattern of glomerular disease found in this study was similar to other studies performed in Bangladesh with a little variation. It may guide the future researchers to establish a national kidney biopsy registry in Bangladesh.

Abstract
We report a precision measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry A_{PV} in the elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from ^{208}Pb. We measure A_{PV}=550±16(stat)±8(syst) parts per billion, leading to an extraction of the neutral weak form factor F_{W}(Q^{2}=0.00616 GeV^{2})=0.368±0.013. Combined with our previous measurement, the extracted neutron skin thickness is R_{n}-R_{p}=0.283±0.071 fm. The result also yields the first significant direct measurement of the interior weak density of ^{208}Pb: ρ_{W}^{0}=-0.0796±0.0036(exp)±0.0013(theo) fm^{-3} leading to the interior baryon density ρ_{b}^{0}=0.1480±0.0036(exp)±0.0013(theo) fm^{-3}. The measurement accurately constrains the density dependence of the symmetry energy of nuclear matter near saturation density, with implications for the size and composition of neutron stars.

Abstract
Objective MicroRNA‐34a‐5p (miR‐34a‐5p) expression is elevated in the synovial fluid of patients with late‐stage knee osteoarthritis (OA); however, its exact role and therapeutic potential in OA remain to be fully elucidated. This study was undertaken to examine the role of miR‐34a‐5p in OA pathogenesis. Methods Expression of miR‐34a‐5p was determined in joint tissues and human plasma (n = 71). Experiments using miR‐34a‐5p mimic or antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) treatment were performed in human OA chondrocytes, fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLS) (n = 7–9), and mouse OA models, including destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM; n = 22) and the accelerated, more severe model of mice fed a high‐fat diet and subjected to DMM (n = 11). Wild‐type (WT) mice (n = 9) and miR‐34a–knockout (KO) mice (n = 11) were subjected to DMM. Results were expressed as the mean ± SEM and analyzed by t‐test or analysis of variance, with appropriate post hoc tests. P values less than 0.05 were considered significant. RNA sequencing was performed on WT and KO mouse chondrocytes. Results Expression of miR‐34a‐5p was significantly increased in the plasma, cartilage, and synovium of patients with late‐stage OA and in the cartilage and synovium of mice subjected to DMM. Plasma miR‐34a‐5p expression was significantly increased in obese patients with late‐stage OA, and in the plasma and knee joints of mice fed a high‐fat diet. In human OA chondrocytes and FLS, miR‐34a‐5p mimic increased key OA pathology markers, while miR‐34a‐5p ASO improved cellular gene expression. Intraarticular miR‐34a‐5p mimic injection induced an OA‐like phenotype. Conversely, miR‐34a‐5p ASO injection imparted cartilage‐protective effects in the DMM and high‐fat diet/DMM models. The miR‐34a–KO mice exhibited protection against DMM‐induced cartilage damage. RNA sequencing of WT and KO chondrocytes revealed a putative miR‐34a‐5p signaling network. Conclusion Our findings provide comprehensive evidence of the role and therapeutic potential of miR‐34a‐5p in OA.

Abstract
The strains isolated from the formation water were characterized and screened considering their crude oil degradation capability and biosurfactant production ability. The growth kinetics study of isolated Bacillus subtilis MG495086 was carried out by varying growth parameters i.e. carbon source, temperature, pH and salinity. The biosurfactant production was optimized adopting RSM-CCD considering carbon source (1-5%), pH (3-11) and temperature (25-65 °C) as matrix parameters. The optimum biosurfactant production (6.3 ± 0.1 g/L) and the minimum surface tension 29.85 mN/m were obtained after 96 h of incubation under optimal conditions i.e. 3.8% (v/v) of light-paraffin oil as sole carbon source at 62.4 °C and pH 7.7 with the maximum oil degradation capability of 91.3 ± 5%. Critical micelle concentration value of crude biosurfactant was found to be 40 mg/L with high emulsification activity of 72.45 ± 0.85%. The produced biosurfactant was identified as lipopeptide (Surfactin) and characterized using various analytical techniques to establish its suitability for microbial enhanced oil recovery.

Abstract
ZnS nanostructures are synthesized by a wet chemical route using starch as green capping agent under nitrogen environment. The as-prepared nanostructures are characterized structurally, optically and electrically. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra confirm that the zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanoparticles have cubic phase (zinc blende). UV–Vis spectrum of the sample clearly shows that the absorption peak exhibits blue shift compared to their bulk counterpart, which confirms the quantum confinement effect of the nanostructures. Its photoluminescence (PL) spectrum shows near band gap emission at 392[Formula: see text]nm and extrinsic emission at 467[Formula: see text]nm. The particle sizes calculated from XRD and UV studies are in fair agreement with high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) results. Starch is found to be a noble capping agent in bringing quantum confinement. The synthesis under nitrogen environment has been observed to produce quality products by reducing the oxide traces. Moreover, the I–V characteristics under dark and illumination show that ZnS can be more suitable as photodetector.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease involving both cartilage and synovium. The canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway, which is activated in OA, is emerging as an important regulator of tissue repair and fibrosis. This study seeks to examine Wnt pathway effects on synovial fibroblasts and articular chondrocytes as well as the therapeutic effects of Wnt inhibition on OA disease severity. Mice underwent destabilization of the medial meniscus surgery and were treated by intra-articular injection with XAV-939, a small-molecule inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Wnt/β-catenin signaling was highly activated in murine synovial fibroblasts as well as in OA-derived human synovial fibroblasts. XAV-939 ameliorated OA severity associated with reduced cartilage degeneration and synovitis in vivo. Wnt inhibition using mechanistically distinct small-molecule inhibitors, XAV-939 and C113, attenuated the proliferation and type I collagen synthesis in synovial fibroblasts in vitro but did not affect human OA-derived chondrocyte proliferation. However, Wnt modulation increased COL2A1 and PRG4 transcripts, which are downregulated in chondrocytes in OA. In conclusion, therapeutic Wnt inhibition reduced disease severity in a model of traumatic OA via promoting anticatabolic effects on chondrocytes and antifibrotic effects on synovial fibroblasts and may be a promising class of drugs for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the knowledge existing in the literature on supply chain resilience for identifying the supply chain practices adopted for securing resilience in given uncertain event.
Design/methodology/approach
A systematic literature review is conducted to identify 84 conceptual and empirical studies. The research findings are synthesized in categories of uncertain events, supply chain practices and outcomes.
Findings
A set of propositions linking the uncertain events, mechanisms and supply chain resilience improvement is developed. It was found that the sufficient conditions for resilience under unexpected disasters are substantially different from those required for resilience against disruptions caused by internal practices or complexity.
Originality/value
Practitioners can benefit from the knowledge of interventions and mechanisms to improve their supply chain resilience in the face of different unpredictable situations. The contribution of this paper is twofold: first, it develops an actionable theory of supply chain resilience by developing testable propositions in the context of supply chains exposed to uncertainties resulting from unexpected disruptions, complexity of supply chains and adoption of certain internal practice; second, the paper highlights the key shortcomings of existing literature and provides opportunities for further research and improvement.

Abstract
Metabolic changes induced by high fat diet (HFD) that contribute to osteoarthritis (OA) are poorly understood. We investigated longitudinal changes to metabolites and their contribution to OA pathogenesis in response to HFD. HFD-fed mice exhibited acceleration of spontaneous age-related and surgically-induced OA compared to lean diet (LD)-fed mice. Using metabolomics, we identified that HFD-fed mice exhibited a distinct and sustained plasma metabolite signature rich in phosphatidylcholines (PC) and lysophosphatidylcholines (lysoPCs), even after resumption of normal chow diet. Using receiver operator curve analysis and prediction modelling, we showed that the concentration of these identified metabolites could efficiently predict the type of diet and OA risk with an accuracy of 93%. Further, longitudinal evaluation of knee joints of HFD- compared to LD- fed mice showed a greater percentage of leptin-positive chondrocytes. Mechanistic data showed that leptin-treated human OA chondrocytes exhibited enhanced production of lysoPCs and expression of autotaxin and catabolic MMP-13. Leptin-induced increased MMP13 expression was reversed by autotaxin inhibition. Together, this study is the first to describe a distinct and sustained HFD-induced metabolite signature. This study suggests that in addition to increased weight, identified metabolites and local leptin-signaling may also contribute in part, towards the accelerated OA-phenotype observed in HFD mice.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) of spine (facet joints [FJs]) is one of the major causes of severe low back pain and disability worldwide. The degeneration of facet cartilage is a hallmark of FJ OA. However, endogenous mechanisms that initiate degeneration of facet cartilage are unknown, and there are no disease-modifying therapies to stop FJ OA. In this study, we have identified microRNAs (small noncoding RNAs) as mediators of FJ cartilage degeneration. We first established a cohort of patients with varying degrees of facet cartilage degeneration (control group: normal or mild facet cartilage degeneration; FJ OA group: moderate to severe facet cartilage degeneration) and then screened 2,100 miRNAs and identified 2 miRNAs (miR-181a-5p and miR-4454) that were significantly elevated in FJ OA cartilage compared with control facet cartilage. We further explored their role, function, and signaling mechanisms using computational, in vitro functional, and in vivo studies. We specifically indicate that miR-181a-5p and miR-4454 are involved in promoting inflammatory, catabolic, and cell death activity in FJ chondrocytes. This is the first report to our knowledge that identifies miR-181a-5p and miR-4454 as mediators of cartilage degeneration in FJs and potential therapeutic targets for stopping cartilage degeneration.

Abstract
Nanoparticles owing to their unique physico-chemical properties have found its application in various biological processes, including metabolic pathways taking place within the body. This review tried to focus the involvement of nanoparticles in metabolic pathways and its influence in the energy metabolism, a fundamental criteria for the survival and physiological activity of living beings. The human body utilizes energy derived from food resources through a series of biochemical reactions involving several enzymes, co-factors (metals, non-metals, vitamins etc.) through the metabolic pathways (glycolysis, tri carboxylic acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, electron transport chain, etc.) in cellular system. Energy metabolism is also involved in the immune networking of the body for self defence and against pathophysiology. The immune system comprises of different cells and tissues, bioactive molecules for self defence and to fight against diseases. In the recent times, it has been reported through in vivo and in vitro studies that nanoparticles have direct influence on body's immune functions, and can modulate immunity by either suppressing or enhancing it. A comprehensive overview of nanoparticles and its involvement in immune function of the body in normal and pathophysiological conditions has been discussed. Considering these perspectives on nanoparticle interaction another important area which has been highlighted is the biosafety issues which are necessary before therapeutic applications. It is expected that development of physiologically compatible nanoparticles controlling energy metabolic processes, immune functions may show new dimension in the pathophysiology linked with energy and immunity.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has been setting benchmarks for the last two decades, but the origins of this technology reach back to ancient history. Today, nanoparticles of both metallic and non-metallic origin are under research and development for applications in various fields of biology/therapeutics. Physiologically important metals are of concern because they are compatible with the human system in terms of absorption, assimilation, excretion, and side effects. There are several physiologically inorganic metals that are present in the human body with a wide range of biological activities. Some of these metals are magnesium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, copper, zinc, selenium and molybdenum. These metals are synthesized in the form of nanoparticles by different physical and chemical methods. Physiologically important nanoparticles are currently under investigation for their bio-medical applications as well as for therapeutics. Along with the applicative aspects of nanoparticles, another domain that is of great concern is the risk assessment of these nanoparticles to avoid unnecessary hazards. It has been seen that these nanoparticles have been shown to possess toxicity in biological systems. Conventional physical and chemical methods of metal nanoparticle synthesis may be one possible reason for nanoparticle toxicity that can be overcome by synthesis of nanoparticles from biological sources. This review is an attempt to establish metal nanoparticles of physiological importance to be the best candidates for future nanotechnological tools and medicines, owing to the acceptability and safety in the human body. This can only be successful if these particles are synthesized with a better biocompatibility and low or no toxicity.

Abstract
With emerging use of gold nanopaticles (GNP) in biomedical science now concern lies upon the fact that how this nonanparticles interact with biological systems both in vivo and in vitro. In this study effects of GNP (50 nm) were investigated in animal models after acute and chronic exposure. For acute studies GNP was administered intravenously at three doses and urine and blood samples were collected for urinary and haematological analysis at regular time intervals. For chronic studies GNP was administered intra-peritoneally at two dose levels and urine, blood, serum and tissue samples were collected for urinary, haematological, serum biochemical and histo-pathological analysis at regular intervals. Acute exposure revealed significant increase in WBC count at all the three dose levels and significant dose-dependent increase in RBC count and Hb%. Chronic exposure at 2 mg/kg dose level showed high toxicity. Significant changes in physical, morphological, WBC count and Hb% were observed after chronic exposure for multiple days. Histo-pathological studies indicated detrimental tissue histological changes in chronic animal models. Therefore, the above studies indicate that both acute and chronic GNP exposure exhibits potential physiological changes within animal system.

Abstract
Nano-medical approaches to develop drugs have attracted much attention in different arenas to design nanoparticle conjugates for better efficacy of the potential bio-molecules. A group of promising candidates of this category would be venom-toxins of animal origin of potential medicinal value. Traditional systems of medicine as well as folklores mention the use of venom-toxins for the treatment of various diseases. Research has led to scientific validation of medicinal applications of venoms-toxins and many active constituents derived from venoms-toxins are already in clinical use or under clinical trial. Nanomedicine is an emerging field of medicine where nanotechnology is used to develop molecules of nano-scale dimension, so that these molecules can be taken up by the cells more easily and have better efficacy, as compared to large molecules that may tend to get eliminated. This review will focus on some of the potential venoms and toxins along with nanoparticle conjugated venom-toxins of snakes, amphibians, scorpions and bees, etc., for possible therapeutic clues against emerging diseases.

Abstract
mnd2 mice die prematurely as a result of neurodegeneration 30-40 days after birth due to loss of the enzymatic activity of the mitochondrial quality control protease HtrA2/Omi. Here, we show that transgenic expression of human HtrA2/Omi in the central nervous system of mnd2 mice rescues them from neurodegeneration and prevents their premature death. Interestingly, adult transgenic mnd2 mice develop accelerated aging phenotypes, such as premature weight loss, hair loss, reduced fertility, curvature of the spine, heart enlargement, increased autophagy, and death by 12-17 months of age. These mice also have elevated levels of clonally expanded mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletions in their tissues. Our results provide direct genetic evidence linking mitochondrial protein quality control to mtDNA deletions and aging in mammals.

Abstract
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I H, Hurler syndrome) is a rare autosomal recessive inborn deficiency in the metabolism of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate, resulting from deficiency of Alpha-L-iduronidase enzyme. This condition is characterized by accumulation of incompletely degraded glycosaminoglycans into various organs of body, which leads to impairment of organs and body functions. Such children appear nearly normal at birth; however, if left untreated, show a progressive mental and physical deterioration leading to death due to cardiorespiratory failure before the second decade of life. Pedodontists have a role for early diagnosis, rendering corrective and preventive treatment to the developing dentition, and referring the patient to the concerned specialities. An interesting case of a seven year old boy with a combination of skeletal, neurological, ophthalmologic, oro-dental and radiological findings of this diverse and devastating clinical entity with MPS I-(Hurler syndrome) has been presented here in this case report.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE In the folk-traditional medicine, snails were used to purify blood, boost immune system, prevent conjunctivitis and to treat liver problems. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of the edible snail (Bellamia bengalensis) flesh extract in male Wistar rats treated with carbon tetrachloride as an hepatotoxicant. MATERIALS AND METHODS Live adult Bellamia bengalensis was collected commercially from the Kolkata market. Aqueous flesh extract (BBE) was prepared in 0.9% saline and expressed in terms of wet weight basis. The aqueous flesh extract was administered orally (1, 2 g kg(-1)day(-1)) to male rats for 12 days. Liv52 was used as positive control. 24h after administration of extract, the rats were given a single oral dose of CCl(4) (1.25 ml kg(-1)), except vehicle control rats. After 24h of CCl(4) administration, all the animals were sacrificed to collect the blood and liver tissue. RESULTS BBE (1 and 2 g kg(-1)day(-1), p.o.×12 days) significantly prevented CCl(4) induced elevation of SGOT, SGPT, γGT, ACP, ALP, bilirubin, LDH and CCl(4) induced decrease in total protein, triglyceride level in male Wistar rats. BBE treated rat liver anti-oxidant parameters (LPO, SOD, GSH, CAT, GPx) were significantly antagonized for the pro-oxidant effect of CCl(4). Histopathological studies also supported the protective effect of BBE. CONCLUSION This study validated the folk and traditional use of snail in liver disorder through CCl(4)-induced rat experimental model.

Abstract
Ribbon synapses of the vertebrate retina are specialized synapses that release neurotransmitter by synaptic vesicle exocytosis in a manner that is proportional to the level of depolarization of the cell. This release property is different from conventional neurons, in which the release of neurotransmitter occurs as a short-lived burst triggered by an action potential. Synaptic vesicle exocytosis is a calcium regulated process that is dependent on a set of interacting synaptic proteins that form the so-called SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) complex. Syntaxin 3B has been identified as a specialized SNARE molecule in ribbon synapses of the rodent retina. However, the best physiologically-characterized neuron that forms ribbon-style synapses is the rod-dominant or Mb1 bipolar cell of the goldfish retina. We report here the molecular characterization of syntaxin 3B from the goldfish retina. Using a combination of reverse transcription (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunostaining with a specific antibody, we show that syntaxin 3B is highly enriched in the plasma membrane of bipolar cell synaptic terminals of the goldfish retina. Using membrane capacitance measurements we demonstrate that a peptide derived from goldfish syntaxin 3B inhibits synaptic vesicle exocytosis. These experiments demonstrate that syntaxin 3B is an important factor for synaptic vesicle exocytosis in ribbon synapses of the vertebrate retina.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Comparative evaluation of cardiac dysautonomia in spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) and idiopathic sporadic ataxias (IA) not fulfilling the criteria of multiple system atrophy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cardiac autonomic functions were evaluated in 14 SCA (SCA1 = 6, SCA2 = 5 and SCA3 = 3) and 10 IA patients, comparable for age, age at onset, duration and severity of illness. The results were categorized as early, definitive, or severe autonomic involvement (EI, DI and SI respectively) based on the degree of abnormalities on tests of parasympathetic and sympathetic pathways. RESULTS Cardiac autonomic dysfunction was present in all (EI = 25.0%, DI = 41.7% and SI = 33.3%), parasympathetic dysfunction being an early feature. SI was most often present in SCA3 (100%), followed by those with SCA1 (66.7%), and SCA2 (20%) and none in IA. CONCLUSIONS Cardiac dysautonomia was common in both SCA and IA, although the severity was greater in SCA. Among SCAs, the severity was greatest in SCA3, followed by SCA2 and least in SCA1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether cancer service standards are associated with survival for breast, colorectal and lung cancers at population level. METHODS Standards of hospital cancer services in England, measured in 2001, were aggregated for 30 cancer networks covering populations of between 500 000 and 3 million people, and compared with 1-year and 5-year relative cancer survival for the incident period 1996-2001, using rank correlation. RESULTS Relative survival and the cancer standards each showed statistically significant differences across cancer networks. For tumour-specific services, the total score of 35 standards was associated with longer relative survival for both colorectal and lung cancers (p<0.05), but not breast cancer, while colorectal cancer survival was strongly (p<0.01) associated with the specific standard "written agreement describing referral guidelines", and lung cancer (p<0.05) with two other guideline standards. There were also associations of longer survival with two measures of nursing staff specialist qualifications. Compliance with general standards for cancer services was not associated with survival for breast cancer, and showed only borderline (p<0.1) associations for colo-rectal cancer, while some standards on medical and management lead staff were significantly associated (p<0.05) with poorer survival for lung cancer. Overall, compliance with standards for hospital pathology and radiology services also showed no associations with survival. CONCLUSION This study suggests that compliance with some clinical service standards, such as guidelines, could contribute to better survival at population level, while more general organisational aspects of cancer services may not directly improve survival.
