    Abstract: Conformational space of methoxyacetone (MA) was studied at the MP2/6-311++G(d,p) and DFT(B3LYP)/6-311++G(d,p) levels of theory. Computations predict MA to adopt four conformations, resulting from internal rotations around the O=C-C-O (Trans, Cis) and C-C- ...

    Abstract Conformational space of methoxyacetone (MA) was studied at the MP2/6-311++G(d,p) and DFT(B3LYP)/6-311++G(d,p) levels of theory. Computations predict MA to adopt four conformations, resulting from internal rotations around the O=C-C-O (Trans, Cis) and C-C-O-C (trans, gauche) dihedral angles. The Tt (Trans-trans) conformer is the most stable. The computed energies of two gauche (Tg and Cg) conformers fall in the 3-8 kJ mol

    Abstract Wheat yield can be limited by many biotic and abiotic factors. Heat stress at the grain filling stage is a factor that reduces wheat production tremendously. The potential role of endophytic microorganisms in mitigating plant stress through various biomolecules like enzymes and growth hormones and also by improving plant nutrition has led to a more in-depth exploration of the plant microbiome for such functions. Hence, we devised this study to investigate the abundance and diversity of wheat seed endophytic bacteria (WSEB) from heat

    Abstract Abnormal calcium homeostasis, activation of protease calpain, generation of p25 and hyperactivation of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) have all been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurogenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease. We have recently shown that extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (eCIRP) induces Cdk5 activation via p25. However, the precise molecular mechanism by which eCIRP regulates calcium signaling and calpain remains to be addressed. We hypothesized that eCIRP regulates p25 via Ca

    Abstract Background: This study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of modified Atkins diet (MAD) among children with non-surgical drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) to levetiracetam, when added to on-going anti-seizure medications.
    Methods: An open-label, randomized controlled trial among children aged 2-12 years with non-surgical DRE was conducted. Eligible children were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive add-on MAD or levetiracetam. Baseline and post-intervention seizure frequency at 12 weeks was determined from seizure logs maintained by parents. The primary outcome was the proportion of responders, i.e., patients who achieved > 50% seizure reduction from baseline. Adverse events were compared. Analysis was intention-to-treat. (NCT04172311) RESULTS: One hundred and one children were enrolled (MAD-51, levetiracetam-50). The majority of the enrolled children had generalized seizures of mixed types secondary to structural brain lesions and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome was the most common electroclinical syndrome (46%). The proportion of children with >50% seizure reduction at 12 weeks was significantly higher in the MAD arm compared to the levetiracetam arm (27/51(52.9%) vs 11/50(22%); p < 0.001). At 12-weeks post-intervention, the change in mean seizure frequency compared to baseline was -47.33 ± 39.57% in the MAD arm and -31.15 ± 32.18% in the levetiracetam arm (p = 0.03). Constipation (41.1%) was the most frequent adverse effect with MAD. Sedation/lethargy (18%) and anxiety and irritability (14%) were the most frequent adverse effects in the levetiracetam group.
    Conclusion: Addition of MAD was found to be superior to levetiracetam among children with non-surgical DRE with predominant generalized seizures in achieving seizure reduction at 12 weeks. Both treatments were well tolerated. Adverse effects, although higher with MAD, were expected side effects.

    Abstract This study involves stakeholders in prioritizing and ranking themes and sub-themes relevant to assess regional level sustainability. Three themes – social, economic and environment were identified as parent themes; to assess sustainability the key stakeholders identified 18 sub-themes to assess these three themes in detail. The key stakeholder groups of elected representatives (panchayats), government, industry and non-governmental organizations (NGOs)/academia, have been involved to assign weights to the themes and the sub-themes of the SDI, keeping the regional priorities in mind. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), a decision-making technique has been used to prioritize and rank the various themes and sub-themes. Goa, one of the states of India, which has performed well on national level SDI developed as part of the earlier study (Kwatra et al., 2016), was taken as the case study to assess sustainability issues at regional level. It was found that all the stakeholder groups gave nearly equal importance to the three themes of sustainability – environment (38%), social (32%) and economic (30%), environmental theme was apparently given slightly higher weights. Among the sub-themes, livelihood received highest weight (11%), followed by waste management (8%), and environmental budget (8%). Issues like waste management, unemployment, forests and biodiversity, governance which are of local importance were given higher weights by the local stakeholders over the national level priority issues like climate change, air pollution, health and literacy etc. The study proposes and tests a methodology which can be applied at a regional scale to assess and prioritize key sustainability issues so that policy makers can take informed decisions.

    Abstract ABSTRACTPlant genotype and agroecology influence the composition and functionality of seed endophytic bacterial communities. Taxonomic analysis of 123 wheat seeds endophytic bacteria classified these into 23 genera predominantly under Firmicutes followed by Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria. Genus Bacillus was most abundant (30.7%) followed by Streptomyces (18.4%) with other representative genera such as Stenotrophomonas, Paenibacillus, Mixta, Enterobacter, Micrococcus, Pantoea, Alkalihalobacillus, Cortiobacterium, and more. Across agroecologies, the core microbiota of seeds consists of Bacillus, Streptomyces, Paenibacillus, and Stenotrophomonas, with maximum diversity and abundance observed in seeds of the North Western Plain Zone of India. Seed endophytic bacteria had PGP traits; nitrogen fixation (n = 101), production of IAA (n = 65), siderophores (n = 43), ammonia (n = 82) and solubilization of phosphate (n = 47), potassium (n = 37), and zinc (n = 8). The isolates produced HCN and hydrolytic enzymes and displayed antagonism against fungal pathogens. Overall, the information generated on wheat seeds’ endophytic bacterial taxonomy and beneficial traits may pave the path for the development of novel bioinoculants.Key message Wheat seeds from various agro-ecologies of India harbor diverse endophytic bacteria.Firmicutes were dominant followed by Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria.Genus Bacillus, Stenotrophomonas, Streptomyces, and Paenibacillus were core endophytic bacteria in different agro-ecologies.The endophytic bacterial strains were displaying diverse functional traits.

    Abstract Lane-Hamilton syndrome (LHS) is a rare syndromic association between idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis and celiac disease (CD). It is usually seen in children below 15 years of age. It can occasionally be seen in adults. We present the case of a 33-year-old female patient who presented with recurrent episodes of hemoptysis to the pulmonary outpatient department. She also gave a history of having frequent loose stools. She was admitted and investigated thoroughly and was found to be suffering from LHS which is a rare disease. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest and duodenal biopsy helped in concluding the diagnosis. She was started on gluten-free diet (GFD) and has responded well with no episodes of hemoptysis on 9-month follow-up and is in good general condition. This case highlights the importance of keeping a high index of suspicion of LHS in a young patient presenting with unexplained hemoptysis and diarrhea. In a known case of CD presenting with hemoptysis, a HRCT chest aids in the diagnosis of LHS. A GFD is the mainstay of long-term treatment, and adherence to this diet shows remarkable improvement in the symptoms of the patient and their overall general condition.

    Abstract The microbiota-gut-brain axis (GBA) plays a critical role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiome causes a significant alteration in the gut microbiota of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, followed by neuroinflammatory processes. Thus, AD beginning in the gut is closely related to an imbalance in gut microbiota, and hence a multidomain approach to reduce this imbalance by exerting positive effects on the gut microbiota is needed. In one example, a tyrosine-based short peptide amphiphile (sPA) was used to synthesize antibacterial AgNPs-sPA nanostructures. Such nanostructures showed high biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity, and therefore work as model drug delivery agents for addressing local bacterial infections. These may have therapeutic value for the treatment of microbiota-triggered progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
