    Abstract Recent advances in percutaneous image-guided techniques have empowered interventional radiologists with diverse treatment options for the management of musculoskeletal lesions. Of note, there is growing utility for cementoplasty procedures, with indications ranging from stabilization of bone metastases to treatment of painful vertebral compression fractures. Likewise, cryoablation has emerged as a viable adjunct in the treatment of both primary and secondary bone and soft tissue neoplasms. These treatment options have been progressively incorporated into the multidisciplinary approach to holistic care of patients, alongside conventional radiotherapy, systemic therapy, surgery, and analgesia. This review article serves to outline the indications, technical considerations, latest developments, and evidence for the burgeoning role of cementoplasty and cryoablation in the musculoskeletal system, with an emphasis on pain palliation and tumour control.

    Abstract Hetero-tetrameric soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) complexes are critical for vesicle-target membrane fusion within the endomembrane system of eukaryotic cells. SNARE assembly involves four different SNARE motifs, Qa, Qb, Qc, and R, provided by three or four SNARE proteins. YKT6 is an atypical R-SNARE that lacks a transmembrane domain and is involved in multiple vesicle-target membrane fusions. Although YKT6 is evolutionarily conserved and essential, its function and regulation in different phyla seem distinct. Arabidopsis YKT61, the yeast and metazoan YKT6 homolog, is essential for gametophytic development, plays a critical role in sporophytic cells, and mediates multiple vesicle-target membrane fusion. However, its molecular regulation is unclear. We report here that YKT61 is S-acylated. Abolishing its S-acylation by a C195S mutation dissociates YKT61 from endomembrane structures and causes its functional loss. Although interacting with various SNARE proteins, YKT61 functions not as a canonical R-SNARE but coordinates with other R-SNAREs to participates in the formation of SNARE complexes. Phylum-specific molecular regulation of YKT6 may be evolved to allow more efficient SNARE-assembly in different eukaryotic cells.

    Abstract Root growth is sustained by cell division and differentiation of the root apical meristem (RAM), in which brassinosteroid (BR) signaling mediated via the dynamic targeting of BRASSINOSTEROID-INSENSITIVE1 (BRI1) plays complex roles. BRI1 is constitutively secreted to the plasma membrane (PM), internalized, and recycled or delivered into vacuoles, whose PM abundance is critical for BR signaling. Vesicle-target membrane fusion is regulated by heterotetrameric SNARE complexes. SNARE proteins have been implicated in BRI1 targeting, but how SNAREs affect RAM development is unclear. We report that Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) YKT61, an atypical R-SNARE protein, is critical for BR-controlled RAM development through the dynamic targeting of BRI1. Functional loss of YKT61 is lethal for both male and female gametophytes. By using weak mutant alleles of YKT61, ykt61-partially complemented (ykt61-pc), we show that YKT61 knockdown results in a reduction of RAM length due to reduced cell division, similar to that in bri1-116. YKT61 physically interacts with BRI1 and is critical for the dynamic recycling of BRI1 to the PM. We further determine that YKT61 is critical for the dynamic biogenesis of vacuoles, for the maintenance of Golgi morphology, and for endocytosis, which may have a broad effect on development. Endomembrane compartments connected via vesicular machinery, such as SNAREs, influence nuclear-controlled cellular activities such as division and differentiation by affecting the dynamic targeting of membrane proteins, supporting a retro-signaling pathway from the endomembrane system to the nucleus.

    Abstract Most ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract spontaneously, but a small number of cases lead to complications and necessitate surgical intervention. We present a rare case of an ingested fork handle that perforated silently through the colon and fistulated through the abdominal wall. This case highlights the importance of balancing the risks and benefits of surgical intervention and the multidisciplinary approach to complex situations.

    Abstract Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the association between the adipokines: Leptin, Adiponectin, Resistin, and high sensitive-C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) with clinical, radiographical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment of knee osteoarthritis (OA) severity.
    Design: We performed a cross-sectional study in participants with earlier knee OA. Demographics, clinical (WOMAC), radiographical and MRI (BLOKS scoring) severity of knee OA were assessed. Serum leptin, adiponectin, resistin and hs-CRP were measured. Association of adipokines and hs-CRP with clinical, radiographic and MRI severity outcomes were evaluated using regression models with adjustment with age, sex, and body mass index (BMI).
    Results: 137 participants with earlier knee OA (82% women, mean ​± ​SD age: 55.5 ​± ​7.8 years) were included. Participants had moderate knee OA symptoms, mean WOMAC pain and function were 30.6 ​± ​18.0, and 31.7 ​± ​19.8 respectively. Mean BMI was 27.0 ​± ​5.9 ​kg/m
    Conclusion: Serum adipokines, particularly leptin was associated with severity of various structural defects of the knee joint on MRI beyond age, sex and BMI in earlier knee OA.

    Abstract Lipid droplets (LDs) have emerged as a hot target for cancer therapeutics in recent years owing to findings that have shown them to be key organelles involved in maintaining cellular stability and regulating inter-organelle communication through molecular trafficking. LDs emerge from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as a form of cellular homeostasis control. We herein report the study of a library of asymmetric squaraines as superior fluorescence probes to track and image LDs in their native state and environment within cancer cells. The probes are highly selective towards LDs and displayed prominent bright fluorescence with just 1 μM probe concentration. They also possess bimodal LD and ER staining capability

    Abstract Background: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) measurements of gene expression show great promise for studying the cellular heterogeneity of rice roots. How precisely annotating cell identity is a major unresolved problem in plant scRNA-seq analysis due to the inherent high dimensionality and sparsity.
    Results: To address this challenge, we present NRTPredictor, an ensemble-learning system, to predict rice root cell stage and mine biomarkers through complete model interpretability. The performance of NRTPredictor was evaluated using a test dataset, with 98.01% accuracy and 95.45% recall. With the power of interpretability provided by NRTPredictor, our model recognizes 110 marker genes partially involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. Expression patterns of rice root could be mapped by the above-mentioned candidate genes, showing the superiority of NRTPredictor. Integrated analysis of scRNA and bulk RNA-seq data revealed aberrant expression of Epidermis cell subpopulations in flooding, Pi, and salt stresses.
    Conclusion: Taken together, our results demonstrate that NRTPredictor is a useful tool for automated prediction of rice root cell stage and provides a valuable resource for deciphering the rice root cellular heterogeneity and the molecular mechanisms of flooding, Pi, and salt stresses. Based on the proposed model, a free webserver has been established, which is available at https://www.cgris.net/nrtp .

    Abstract Background: Patients with facial nerve paralysis (FNP) experience challenges in accessing health care that could potentially be overcome by telemedicine. However, the reliability of telemedicine has yet to be established in this field.
    Objective: This study aimed to investigate the consistency between face-to-face and video assessments of patients with FNP by experienced clinicians.
    Methods: A repeated-measures design was used. A total of 7 clinicians assessed the FNP of 28 patients in a face-to-face clinic using standardized grading systems (the House-Brackmann, Sydney, and Sunnybrook facial grading systems). After 3 months, the same grading systems were used to assess facial palsy in video recordings of the same patients.
    Results: The House-Brackmann system in video assessment had excellent reliability and agreement (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]=0.780; principal component analysis [PCA]=87.5%), similar to face-to-face assessment (ICC=0.686; PCA=79.2%). Reliability of the Sydney system was good to excellent, with excellent agreement face-to-face (ICC=0.633 to 0.834; PCA=81.0%-95.2%). However, video assessment of the cervical branch and synkinesis had fair reliability and good agreement (ICC=0.437 to 0.597; PCA=71.4%), whereas that of other branches had good to excellent reliability and excellent agreement (ICC=0.625 to 0.862; PCA=85.7%-100.0%). Reliability of the Sunnybrook system was poor to fair for resting symmetry (ICC=0.195 to 0.498; PCA=91.3%-100.0%) and synkinesis (ICC=-0.037 to 0.637; PCA=69.6%-87.0%) but was good to excellent for voluntary movement (ICC=0.601 to 0.906; PCA=56.5%-91.3%) in face-to-face and video assessments. Bland-Altman plots indicated normal limits of agreement within ±1 between face-to-face and video-assessed scores only for the temporal and buccal branches of the Sydney system and for resting symmetry in the Sunnybrook system.
    Conclusions: Video assessment of FNP with the House-Brackmann and Sunnybrook systems was as reliable as face-to-face but with insufficient agreement, especially in the assessment of synkinesis. However, video assessment does not account for the impact of real-time interactions that occur during tele-assessment sessions.
