    Abstract BackgroundChickenpox, a vaccine-preventable disease caused by the varicella zoster virus, generally presents with mild symptoms but can cause complications necessitating hospitalisation. In Poland, since 2009, vaccination has been obligatory for children up to 12 years of age who are particularly vulnerable to infection and for children in their vicinity.AimTo examine the burden of chickenpox complications and the trends of hospitalisation arising from these complications over time in the Polish population.MethodsData spanning 2006-21 were sourced from the Polish Infectious Diseases Surveillance System, the Nationwide General Hospital Morbidity Study and the Statistics Poland death registry. Standardised and age-specific incidence rates, hospital discharge rates and number of deaths because of chickenpox were calculated. Moreover, the joinpoint regression model was used to analyse trends of annual hospital discharge rates.ResultsOver the analysed timeframe, 25,804 hospitalisations and 52 deaths attributable to chickenpox complications were documented, and 1.0% of chickenpox cases required hospitalisation because of chickenpox. Age-standardised hospitalisation rates varied between 2.3 and 9.6 per 100,000 population. The analysis revealed no statistically significant trend in overall hospital discharge rates from chickenpox complications. However, a notable increase in hospitalisation rates was observed in children aged 0-4 and among inhabitants of rural areas, with annual percentage changes of 4.9% and 3.4% respectively.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that the implementation of a universal chickenpox immunisation programme, supported by health education, should be considered to reduce the number of hospitalisations and nearly eliminate deaths because of chickenpox.

    Abstract Molecular chaperones play an important role during the response to different stresses. Since plants are sessile organisms, they need to be able to adapt quickly to different conditions. To do so, plants possess a complex chaperone machinery, composed of HSP70, HSP90, J proteins and other factors. In this study we characterized DJC31 (also known as TPR16) and DJC62 (also known as TPR15) of Arabidopsis thaliana, two J proteins that additionally carry clamp-type tetratricopeptide repeat domains. Using cell fractionation and split GFP, we could show that both proteins are attached to the cytosolic side of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Moreover, an interaction with cytosolic HSP70.1 and HSP90.2 could be shown using bimolecular fluorescence complementation. Knockout of both DJC31 and DJC62 caused severe defects in growth and development, which affected almost all organs. Furthermore, it could be shown that the double mutant is more sensitive to osmotic stress and treatment with abscisic acid, but surprisingly exhibited enhanced tolerance to drought. Taken together, these findings indicate that DJC31 and DJC62 might act as important regulators of chaperone-dependent signaling pathways involved in plant development and stress responses.

    Abstract Despite their prevalence in neural networks, we still lack a thorough theoretical characterization of rectified linear unit (ReLU) layers. This article aims to further our understanding of ReLU layers by studying how the activation function ReLU interacts with the linear component of the layer and what role this interaction plays in the success of the neural network in achieving its intended task. To this end, we introduce two new tools: ReLU singular values of operators and the Gaussian mean width of operators. By presenting, on the one hand, theoretical justifications, results, and interpretations of these two concepts and, on the other hand, numerical experiments and results of the ReLU singular values and the Gaussian mean width being applied to trained neural networks, we hope to give a comprehensive, singular-value-centric view of ReLU layers. We find that ReLU singular values and the Gaussian mean width do not only enable theoretical insights but also provide one with metrics that seem promising for practical applications. In particular, these measures can be used to distinguish correctly and incorrectly classified data as it traverses the network. We conclude by introducing two tools based on our findings: double layers and harmonic pruning.

    Abstract Import of preproteins into chloroplasts is an essential process, requiring two major multisubunit protein complexes that are embedded in the outer and inner chloroplast envelope membrane. Both the translocon of the outer chloroplast membrane (Toc), as well as the translocon of the inner chloroplast membrane (Tic) have been studied intensively with respect to their individual subunit compositions, functions and regulations. Recent advances in crystallography have increased our understanding of the operation of these proteins in terms of their interactions and regulation by conformational switching. Several subdomains of components of the Toc translocon have been studied at the structural level, among them the polypeptide transport-associated (POTRA) domain of the channel protein Toc75 and the GTPase domain of Toc34. In this review, we summarize and discuss the insight that has been gained from these structural analyses. In addition, we present the crystal structure of the Toc64 tetratrico-peptide repeat (TPR) domain in complex with the C-terminal domains of the heat-shock proteins (Hsp) Hsp90 and Hsp70.

    Abstract Objectives: Interest in aspergillosis has increased over the past decades. An increase in the incidence of azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus strains has been reported; therefore, the need for novel therapeutic approaches is urgent. The formation of biofilms contributes to pathogen resistance. We investigated the biofilm formation capabilities of azole-resistant A. fumigatus and analysed the susceptibility of biofilms at various developmental stages to three antifungal agents.
    Methods: Biofilm formation of 19 clinical A. fumigatus strains (3 azole-susceptible and 16 azole-resistant strains) was determined by crystal violet staining and by an XTT assay over a period of 48 h. We measured antibiofilm activity of voriconazole, amphotericin B and olorofim. These agents were added before adhesion, after adhesion, after germination and to mature fungal biofilm. Antibiofilm activity was assessed in an XTT assay and in confocal laser scan microscopy. Additionally, a growth-kinetic assay with planktonic A. fumigatus was performed.
    Results: Each of the antifungal agents inhibited the metabolic activity of A. fumigatus biofilms when applied at early stages of biofilm formation. The mature biofilms were more resistant. Olorofim and voriconazole showed promising effects against A. fumigatus adhesion and germination, whereas the mature biofilm was not affected by treatment. In contrast, the biofilm of A. fumigatus showed amphotericin B susceptibility throughout the entire developmental process. The planktonic cells were susceptible to all three antifungal drug classes with an inhibition peak at 12 h after incubation.
    Conclusions: This is the first known study to demonstrate the antibiofilm activity of olorofim, voriconazole and amphotericin B against azole-resistant A. fumigatus.
