    Abstract Isolation of extraordinarily long-length super-enhancers (SEs) using typical chromatin immune precipitation (ChIP) techniques can lead to DNA breakage due to uncontrolled cross-linking. We present a redefined ChIP technique for SE purification. After controlled paraformaldehyde-based cross-linking, glycine was used to quench the cross-linker followed by mild sonication. The sonication produced ideal fragment length of long-length SE chromatin. Presently, miR146a-5p SE of macrophages was pulled using BRD4 protein. Our protocol can reproducibly simplify the SE element isolation issues, in a quality-controlled manner. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Das et al. (2021).

    Abstract Introduction: The femoral neck system (FNS) represents an emerging fixation system designed for the management of femoral neck fractures. This innovative system combines the mechanical benefits of compression and anti-rotation properties in internal fixation. Biomechanical studies have demonstrated the superior axial and rotational stability of the FNS implant when compared to traditional cannulated screws and dynamic hip screw. Despite these promising mechanical advantages, there is currently a limited body of literature addressing the factors contributing to FNS failure. A thorough assessment of the safety and outcomes associated with this novel implant is essential.
    Case report: In this context, we present three cases wherein FNS failure occurred, aiming to elucidate the potential causes behind these failures, and had to undergo either an implant removal or bipolar hemiarthroplasty.
    Conclusion: While considering the femoral neck system as the implant of choice, we should consider the age, injury to surgery time, and the location of the fracture line. However, we cannot conclusively ascertain whether age contributes independently to the risk of failure.

    Abstract Plasma-catalytic direct nonoxidative coupling of methane (NCM) into C₂ hydrocarbons was investigated over ceria-supported atomically dispersed Pt (Pt/CeO₂-SAC) and nanoparticle Pt (Pt/CeO₂-NP) catalysts in dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma. Nonthermal plasma facilitated C–H bond dissociation in CH₄ at low temperatures (<150 °C) and atmospheric pressure. The presence of Pt/CeO₂ catalysts in plasma further enhanced CH₄ conversion and C₂ hydrocarbon selectivity by enabling the conversion of vibrationally excited methane species with high internal energy on active Pt sites. Noticeably, the Pt/CeO₂-SAC catalyst displayed a more remarkable performance, with a CH₄ conversion of 39% and a C₂ selectivity of 54% at 54 W. The enhanced CH₄ conversion was attributed to abundant coordinatively unsaturated Pt sites in Pt/CeO₂-SAC, which were more active for C–H bond scission. Meanwhile, isolated Pt atoms in Pt/CeO₂-SAC promoted C₂ hydrocarbon formation by hindering the unselective formation of coke from deep dehydrogenation of CHₓ• intermediates and higher hydrocarbons from oligomerization reactions.

    Abstract The outcome of Leishmania donovani infection depends upon the dynamic interchanges between M1 and M2 macrophages. Information of the involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs) and epigenetic modifiers in regulating macrophage plasticity during L. donovani infection is still elusive. Differential expression analysis of polarization-regulating miRNAs, revealed significant enrichment of miR146a-5p during Leishmania donovani infection. A sustained enrichment of miR146a-5p was observed in both infected bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) and BALB/c mice organs. We found involvement of miR146a-5p in phagocytosis and survivability of parasites. Moreover, miR146a-5pgot enriched in interleukin 4- stimulated BMDMs, indicating its possible involvement in M2 polarization. Upon transfecting BMDMs with miRVANA anti-146a oligos, M2 markers (CCR7, YM-1, FIZZ-1, arginase-1, IL10 and IL4) and transcription factors (p-STAT6 and c/EBPβ) got depleted with concomitant augmentation of M1-polarizing transcription factors (p-STAT1, AP1 and IRF-1), miR146a target genes (TRAF6 and IRAK1), M1 cytokines (IL12 and TNFα), iNOS, nitric oxide, and nuclear translocation of phospho p-65 subunit. Neutralization of intracellular mature miR146a-5p pool in infected BALB/c mice lower organ parasite burden and expressions of M2 markers and IL10 with enrichment of M1 markers like iNOS and IL12. Additionally, we explored the novel role of super enhancer (SE), a cis-acting regulatory component, to enrich miR146a-5p expression during infection. Enhanced expression and nuclear retention of SE components like BET bromodomain 4 (BRD4) and p300 were found in infected BMDMs. Upon silencing BRD4, expressions of miR146a-5p and M2 markers were down regulated and TRAF6, IRAK1 and iNOS levels increased. STRING V.11 based predication and immune precipitation confirmed the strong interaction amongst BRD4, p300 and RNA pol II (RpbI). Chromatin immune precipitation studies suggested the recruitment of BRD4 at the enhancer loci of miR146a-5p gene during infection. Altogether, our findings revealed a novel role of BRD4/p300-depdendent super-enhancer in regulating miR146a expression during L. donovani infection which in turn mediates M2 polarization and immune-suppression.

    Abstract Understanding the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions as well as accounting for the unascertained cases remain critical challenges for epidemiological models for understanding the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 spread. In this paper, we propose a new epidemiological model (eSEIRD) that extends the widely used epidemiological models such as extended Susceptible-Infected-Removed model (eSIR) and SAPHIRE (initially developed and used for analyzing data from Wuhan). We fit these models to the daily ascertained infected (and removed) cases from March 15, 2020 to Dec 31, 2020 in South Africa that reported the largest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths from the WHO African region. Using the eSEIRD model, the COVID-19 transmission dynamics in South Africa was characterized by the estimated basic reproduction number (

    Abstract This paper examines the potential persistent effects (scarring) of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and the channels through which they may occur. Our findings from a broad set of historical recessions confirm that recessions are associated with persistent output losses and that the greatest scarring has occurred following financial crises. The amount of scarring following pandemic and epidemic recessions in the sample is in between that of typical recessions and financial crises. Results on the channels show that the productivity channel is important, as all types of recessions have been followed by persistent losses to total factor productivity.

    Abstract Catalysts for hydroformylation of ethene were prepared by grafting Rh into nests of ≡SiOZn-OH or ≡SiOCo-OH species prepared in dealuminated BEA zeolite. X-ray absorption spectra and infrared spectra of adsorbed CO were used to characterize the dispersion of Rh. The Rh dispersion was found to increase markedly with increasing M/Rh (M = Zn or Co) ratio; further increases in Rh dispersion occurred upon use for ethene hydroformylation catalysis. The turnover frequency for ethene hydroformylation measured for a fixed set of reaction conditions increased with the fraction of atomically dispersed Rh. The ethene hydroformylation activity is 15.5-fold higher for M = Co than for M = Zn, whereas the propanal selectivity is slightly greater for the latter catalyst. The activity of the Co-containing catalyst exceeds that of all previously reported Rh-containing bimetallic catalysts. The rates of ethene hydroformylation and ethene hydrogenation exhibit positive reaction orders in ethene and hydrogen but negative orders in carbon monoxide.
