Abstract	Heavy metal contamination is a universal concern due to health risks associated with metal pollution. Soil contamination by heavy metals is known to affect microbial activities at elevated concentrations adversely. However, indigenous soil bacterial populations' response to added heavy metal and metal combinations is poorly understood. Microbes prevailing in the soil are the driving factors. Their properties are recognized as sensitive indicators of soil quality and health. Moreover, these microscopic organisms are accountable for the fertility and aeration of the soil that forms fundamental aspects of soil function. The current study was performed to explore the diversity of bacterial species in heavy metal polluted roadside soil.

Abstract	Heavy metal contamination is a universal concern due to health risks associated with metal pollution. Soil contamination by heavy metals is known to affect microbial activities at elevated concentrations adversely. However, indigenous soil bacterial populations' response to added heavy metal and metal combinations is poorly understood. Microbes prevailing in the soil are the driving factors. Their properties are recognized as sensitive indicators of soil quality and health. Moreover, these microscopic organisms are accountable for the fertility and aeration of the soil that forms fundamental aspects of soil function. The current study was performed to explore the diversity of bacterial species in heavy metal polluted roadside soil. The roadside soil samples were collected from diverse sites and processed for physicochemical properties, microbial characterization, and heavy metals distribution in the selected locations. Serial dilution and spread plate techniques were used for the isolation of bacterial species. The 16S-rRNA gene sequencing identified bacterial species in roadside soil as Bacillus drentensis (MK217088), Bacillus safensis (MK774729), Bacillus haynesii (MK192808), Bacillus subtilis (MK217089), and Bacillus cereus (MK801278). In addition, the 16S rRNA sequences of isolated bacterial strains were aligned to generate a phylogenetic tree. Thus, the current research study provides a platform for efficiently investigating roadside soils by microbial profiling that may discover novel microbes of scientific significance and improved potential.

Abstract	Aim: To provide a concise review on risk factors, stages, pathophysiology, prevention and possible treatment options for both MRONJ and ORN individually. Methods: The review was conducted according to the 'Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses' (PRISMA) guidelines. A comprehensive search of the PUBMED, Ebsco, SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENCE and NDH for articles published up until 2021 was performed. After screening and full text analyses, 44 studies were included in this review. Definition, risk factors, etiology, symptoms, stages, pathophysiology, prevention and possible management options were explored and highlighted in this article. Results: Three studies described osteonecrosis of jaw (ONJ) in general, 15 studies described ONJ associated with radiotherapy and 26 studies described ONJ associated with medications. Both the two conditions (ORN) and (MRONJ) have relatively similar clinical presentations clearing the fact that a resemblance in clinical presentations does not necessarily denote a similar pathophysiology. Conclusion: However, various advancements have been made in the control and management of ONJ, but until and unless need for high tumoricidal doses exists, ONJ will certainly continue to remain as a clinical challenge demanding satisfactory treatment to improve the quality of life of the patient.

Abstract	Introduction: The efficiency of brain therapeutics is greatly hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). BBB's protective function, selective permeability, and dynamic functionality maintain the harmony between the brain and peripheral region. Thus, the design of any novel drug carrier system requires the complete study and investigation of BBB permeability, efflux transport, and the effect of associated cellular and non-vascular unit trafficking on BBB penetrability. The in vitro BBB models offer a most promising, and reliable mode of initial investigation of BBB permeability and associated factors as strong evidence for further preclinical and clinical investigation. Area covered: This review work covers the structure and functions of BBB components and different types of in vitro BBB models along with factors affecting BBB model development and model selection criteria. Expert opinion: In vivo models assume to reciprocate the physiological environment to the maximum extent. However, the interspecies variability, NVUs trafficking, dynamic behavior of BBB, etc., lead to non-reproducible results. The in vitro models are comparatively less complex, and flexible, as per the study design, could generate substantial evidence and help identify suitable in vivo animal model selection.

Abstract	Organic transformations mediated by visible light have gained popularity in recent years as they are green, renewable, inexpensive, and clean and yield excellent products. The present study describes cyclo-condensation of 2-methylthiazole-4-carbothioamide with differently substituted α-bromo-1,3-diketones achieved by utilizing a white light-emitting diode (LED) (9W) to accomplish the regioselective synthesis of novel 5-aroyl/hetaroyl-2',4-dimethyl-2,4'-bithiazole derivatives as DNA/bovine serum albumin (BSA)-targeting agents. The structure characterization of the exact regioisomer was achieved unequivocally by heteronuclear two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D-NMR) spectroscopy [

Abstract	Odisha has 4.2 million diabetic patients against the country's 70 million with an urban prevalence of nearly 15.4%. Diabetes is affecting younger age groups, thus having a crucial impact on quality of life of the affected. A qualitative endeavour was attempted at the diabetic clinic of a tertiary care set up in the capital city of Bhubaneswar to create a diabetic surveillance data assembly, wherein subjects above 18 years of age and newly diagnosed or on follow-up, after obtaining informed consent, were made to respond to a quality of life (QOLID) validated tool. The pretested tool has 8-domain role limitation due to physical health, physical endurance, general health, treatment satisfaction, symptom botherness, financial worries, emotional/mental health, and diet advice tolerance. The validated tool had 34 items (questions) that were selected to represent these domains on the basis of extraction communality, factor loading, and interitem and item-total correlations. The final questionnaire had an overall Cronbach's alpha value of 0.894 (subscale: 0.55 to 0.85), showing high internal consistency in the current study population. A score for each domain was calculated by simple addition of items scores. Each individual domain score was then standardized by dividing by maximum possible domain score and multiplying by 100. All individual standardized domain scores were then added and divided by 8 (number of domain) to obtain an overall score. The data collection was done for 400 patients as an interim analysis. Univariate and subsequently multivariate analysis was performed to decide the predictors that affected quality of life. Age over 50 years (OR = 1.81, CI 1.12-2.93;

Abstract	Purpose: Endothelial injury, involved in the pathogenesis of renal fibrosis, can generate microparticles (MPs). These are 0.1-1 µm membrane-bound vesicles shed from the damaged or activated cell surfaces. We analyzed the presence of circulating MPs and EnMPs in IgAN and correlated with markers of endothelial injury and disease activity. Methods: The study included 30 IgAN (mean age 31.5 ± 9 years), 25 healthy controls and Lupus nephritis (n = 10) as disease controls. Circulating MPs were quantitated by Flow cytometry and EnMPs were analyzed using anti-CD31-FITC and anti-CD146-PE antibodies. Their levels were correlated with serum von Willebrand Factor, histological Oxford MEST-C score and renal outcome. A prospective validation group of 20 patients of biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy was also included. Results: IgAN had significantly higher levels of MPs, EnMPs and vWF compared to controls. On multivariate analysis, plasma levels of total MPs, EnMPs and serum vWF correlated significantly with the presence of hypertension and E1 on histology. E1 and high MPs (> 130 counts/µl) were associated with shorter time to doubling of serum creatinine. MPs cutoff level of 130 counts/µl had a sensitivity of 75%, specificity of 93.3% and diagnostic accuracy of 89.5% for E1 in the validation cohort. Conclusion: Circulating MPs and EnMPs in IgAN correlate with E1 on histology and have a potential as non-invasive biomarkers to predict disease activity and renal outcome.

Abstract	Biological membranes, comprised of proteins anchored by their trans-membrane domains (TMDs) creating a semi-permeable phase with lipid constituents, serve as 'checkposts' for not only intracellular trafficking in eukaryotic cells but also for material transactions of all living cells with external environments. Hydropathy (or hydrophobicity) plots of 'bitopic' proteins (i.e. having single alpha-helical TMDs) are routinely utilized in biochemistry texts for predicting their TMDs. The number of amino acids (i.e. TMD length) embedded as alpha-helices may serve as indicators of thickness of biological membranes in which they reside under assumptions that are universally applied for fixing window sizes for identifying TMDs using hydropathy plots. In this work we explore variations in thickness of different eukaryotic biological membranes (reflected by TMD lengths of their resident proteins) over evolutionary time scales. Rigorous in silico analyses of over 23,000 non-redundant membrane proteins residing in different subcellular locations from over 200 genomes of fungi, plants, non-mammalian vertebrates and mammals, reveal that differences in plasma membrane and organellar TMD lengths have decreased over time (scales) of eukaryotic cellular evolution. While earlier work has indicated decreasing differences in TMD lengths with increasing 'perceived' organismal complexity, this work is the first report on TMD length variations as a function of evolutionary time of eukaryotic cellular systems. We report that differences in TMD lengths of bitopic proteins residing in plasma membranes and other intra-cellular locations have decreased with evolutionary time, suggesting better/more avenues of intracellular trafficking in the emergence of eukaryotic organisms.
