Autophagy Q1 Q1 Open Access
2021-01-02 citations by CoLab: 1729 Abstract
ABSTRACT In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Thus, it is important to formulate on a regular basis updated guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Despite numerous reviews, there continues to be confusion regarding acceptable methods to evaluate autophagy, especially in multicellular eukaryotes. Here, we present a set of guidelines for investigators to select and interpret methods to examine autophagy and related processes, and for reviewers to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of reports that are focused on these processes. These guidelines are not meant to be a dogmatic set of rules, because the appropriateness of any assay largely depends on the question being asked and the system being used. Moreover, no individual assay is perfect for every situation, calling for the use of multiple techniques to properly monitor autophagy in each experimental setting. Finally, several core components of the autophagy machinery have been implicated in distinct autophagic processes (canonical and noncanonical autophagy), implying that genetic approaches to block autophagy should rely on targeting two or more autophagy-related genes that ideally participate in distinct steps of the pathway. Along similar lines, because multiple proteins involved in autophagy also regulate other cellular pathways including apoptosis, not all of them can be used as a specific marker for bona fide autophagic responses. Here, we critically discuss current methods of assessing autophagy and the information they can, or cannot, provide. Our ultimate goal is to encourage intellectual and technical innovation in the field.

The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2019 (GBD 2019) provided systematic estimates of incidence, morbidity, and mortality to inform local and international efforts toward reducing cancer burden.To estimate cancer burden and trends globally for 204 countries and territories and by Sociodemographic Index (SDI) quintiles from 2010 to 2019.The GBD 2019 estimation methods were used to describe cancer incidence, mortality, years lived with disability, years of life lost, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in 2019 and over the past decade. Estimates are also provided by quintiles of the SDI, a composite measure of educational attainment, income per capita, and total fertility rate for those younger than 25 years. Estimates include 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs).In 2019, there were an estimated 23.6 million (95% UI, 22.2-24.9 million) new cancer cases (17.2 million when excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer) and 10.0 million (95% UI, 9.36-10.6 million) cancer deaths globally, with an estimated 250 million (235-264 million) DALYs due to cancer. Since 2010, these represented a 26.3% (95% UI, 20.3%-32.3%) increase in new cases, a 20.9% (95% UI, 14.2%-27.6%) increase in deaths, and a 16.0% (95% UI, 9.3%-22.8%) increase in DALYs. Among 22 groups of diseases and injuries in the GBD 2019 study, cancer was second only to cardiovascular diseases for the number of deaths, years of life lost, and DALYs globally in 2019. Cancer burden differed across SDI quintiles. The proportion of years lived with disability that contributed to DALYs increased with SDI, ranging from 1.4% (1.1%-1.8%) in the low SDI quintile to 5.7% (4.2%-7.1%) in the high SDI quintile. While the high SDI quintile had the highest number of new cases in 2019, the middle SDI quintile had the highest number of cancer deaths and DALYs. From 2010 to 2019, the largest percentage increase in the numbers of cases and deaths occurred in the low and low-middle SDI quintiles.The results of this systematic analysis suggest that the global burden of cancer is substantial and growing, with burden differing by SDI. These results provide comprehensive and comparable estimates that can potentially inform efforts toward equitable cancer control around the world.

Healthcare Q2 Q3 Open Access
2023-07-05 citations by CoLab: 307 PDF Abstract
Antibiotics are among the most important discoveries of the 20th century, having saved millions of lives from infectious diseases. Microbes have developed acquired antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to many drugs due to high selection pressure from increasing use and misuse of antibiotics over the years. The transmission and acquisition of AMR occur primarily via a human–human interface both within and outside of healthcare facilities. A huge number of interdependent factors related to healthcare and agriculture govern the development of AMR through various drug-resistance mechanisms. The emergence and spread of AMR from the unrestricted use of antimicrobials in livestock feed has been a major contributing factor. The prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria has attained an incongruous level worldwide and threatens global public health as a silent pandemic, necessitating urgent intervention. Therapeutic options of infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are limited, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality with high financial impact. The paucity in discovery and supply of new novel antimicrobials to treat life-threatening infections by resistant pathogens stands in sharp contrast to demand. Immediate interventions to contain AMR include surveillance and monitoring, minimizing over-the-counter antibiotics and antibiotics in food animals, access to quality and affordable medicines, vaccines and diagnostics, and enforcement of legislation. An orchestrated collaborative action within and between multiple national and international organizations is required urgently, otherwise, a postantibiotic era can be a more real possibility than an apocalyptic fantasy for the 21st century. This narrative review highlights on this basis, mechanisms and factors in microbial resistance, and key strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance.

The present world is now facing the challenge of proper management and resource recovery of the enormous amount of plastic waste. Lack of technical skills for managing hazardous waste, insufficient infrastructure development for recycling and recovery, and above all, lack of awareness of the rules and regulations are the key factors behind this massive pile of plastic waste. The severity of plastic pollution exerts an adverse effect on the environment and total ecosystem. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of plastic waste generation, as well as its effect on the human being and ecological system, is discussed in terms of source identification with respect to developed and developing countries. A detailed review of the existing waste to energy and product conversion strategies is presented in this study. Moreover, this study sheds light on sustainable waste management procedures and identifies the key challenges to adopting effective measures to minimise the negative impact of plastic waste.

AbstractCesium tin chloride (CsSnCl3) is a potential and competitive absorber material for lead-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The full potential of CsSnCl3 not yet been realized owing to the possible challenges of defect-free device fabrication, non-optimized alignment of the electron transport layer (ETL), hole transport layer (HTL), and the favorable device configuration. In this work, we proposed several CsSnCl3-based solar cell (SC) configurations using one dimensional solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS-1D) with different competent ETLs like indium–gallium–zinc–oxide (IGZO), tin-dioxide (SnO2), tungsten disulfide (WS2), ceric dioxide (CeO2), titanium dioxide (TiO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), C60, PCBM, and HTLs of cuprous oxide (Cu2O), cupric oxide (CuO), nickel oxide (NiO), vanadium oxide (V2O5), copper iodide (CuI), CuSCN, CuSbS2, Spiro MeOTAD, CBTS, CFTS, P3HT, PEDOT:PSS. Simulation results revealed that ZnO, TiO2, IGZO, WS2, PCBM, and C60 ETLs-based halide perovskites with ITO/ETLs/CsSnCl3/CBTS/Au heterostructure exhibited outstanding photoconversion efficiency retaining nearest photovoltaic parameters values among 96 different configurations. Further, for the six best-performing configurations, the effect of the CsSnCl3 absorber and ETL thickness, series and shunt resistance, working temperature, impact of capacitance, Mott–Schottky, generation and recombination rate, current–voltage properties, and quantum efficiency on performance were assessed. We found that ETLs like TiO2, ZnO, and IGZO, with CBTS HTL can act as outstanding materials for the fabrication of CsSnCl3-based high efficiency (η ≥ 22%) heterojunction SCs with ITO/ETL/CsSnCl3/CBTS/Au structure. The simulation results obtained by the SCAPS-1D for the best six CsSnCl3-perovskites SC configurations were compared by the wxAMPS (widget provided analysis of microelectronic and photonic structures) tool for further validation. Furthermore, the structural, optical and electronic properties along with electron charge density, and Fermi surface of the CsSnCl3 perovskite absorber layer were computed and analyzed using first-principle calculations based on density functional theory. Thus, this in-depth simulation paves a constructive research avenue to fabricate cost-effective, high-efficiency, and lead-free CsSnCl3 perovskite-based high-performance SCs for a lead-free green and pollution-free environment.

Benzyl-3-N-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenylmethylene)hydrazinecarbodithioate (compound 1) is a bidentate and nitrogen-sulfur containing Schiff base, which has been synthesized by the condensation reaction of S-benzylndithiocarbazate and 2,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde. The theoretical calculations of the mentioned compound have been carried out using the more popular density functional theory method, Becke-3-Parameter-Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) in 6-31G+(d,p) basis set. The computational results of the compound were compared with the obtained experimental value. Moreover, the highest occupied molecular orbital, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, molecular electrostatic potential, chemical reactivity parameters and natural bond orbital of the optimized structure have been evaluated at the same level of theory. Furthermore, the UV-Vis spectrum of the compound has been carried out for the better understanding of electronic absorption spectra with the help of the time-dependent density functional theory at room temperature. Besides, the molecular docking simulation of the mentioned molecule with target protein was also investigated. In addition, in silico studies were performed to predict absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity profiles of the designed compound. The results indicated that the theoretical data have well correlated with the observed values. The narrow frontier orbital gap indicated that the eventual charge transfer interaction occurs within the studied molecule and showed high chemical reactivity. The global reactivity values showed that the compound is soft molecule, electrophilic species and has strong binding ability with biomolecules. The molecular electrostatic potential structure indicated that the negative and positive potential sites are around electronegative atoms and hydrogen atoms of studied compound, respectively. The natural bond orbital data revealed that the compound contains 97.42% Lewis and 2.58% non-Lewis structure. The intra and inter-molecular charge transfers process occur within the studied compound. The studied compound showed more binding energy (-6.0 kcal/mol) with target protein than hydroxychloroquine (-5.6 kcal/mol). The absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity investigation predicted that the compound has good drug like character.

• Synthesis zeolites are uniform in size and produced in pure form. • Synthesis zeolites have better ion-exchange capacities than natural zeolites. • Effective synthetic routes for zeolites synthesis are discussed. • Comparative analysis of various raw materials for zeolite synthesis are included. • Synthetic zeolite has potential environmental applications. Zeolites with the three-dimensional structures occur naturally or can be synthesized in the laboratory. Zeolites have versatile applications such as environmental remediation, catalytic activity, biotechnological application, gas sensing and medicinal applications. Although, naturally occurring zeolites are readily available, nowadays, more emphasis is given on the synthesis of the zeolites due to their easy synthesis in the pure form, better ion exchange capabilities and uniform in size. Recently, much attention has also been paid on how zeolite is being synthesized from low-cost material (e.g., rice husk), particularly, by resolving the major environmental issues. Hence, the main purpose of this review is to make an effective resolution of zeolite synthesis methods together with potential applications in environmental engineering. Among different synthesis methods, hydrothermal method is commonly found to be used widely in the synthesis of various zeolites from inexpensive raw materials such as fly ash, rice husk ash, blast furnace slag, municipal solid waste, paper sludge, lithium slag and kaolin. Besides, future expectation in the field of synthetic zeolites research is also included.

• The improved auxiliary equation technique and the enhanced rational expansion scheme are utilized to construct wave solutions of the kadomtsev Petviashvili-modified equal width (KP-mEW) equation. • Numerous rational, trigonometric, exponential and hyperbolic wave solutions are successfully acquired in appropriate form. • Obtained solutions are plotted in various profiles as three-dimension, two-dimension and contour to illustrate their physical appearances. The diverse patterns of waves on the oceans yielded by the Kadomtsev Petviashvili-modified equal width (KP-mEW) equation are highlighted in this paper. Two recent established approaches such as the improved auxiliary equation technique and the enhanced rational ( G ′ / G ) -expansion scheme are utilized to construct wave solutions of the proposed governing model. Numerous rational, trigonometric, exponential, and hyperbolic wave solutions bearing many free parameters are successfully acquired in appropriate form. The obtained solutions are plotted in various profiles as three-dimension, two-dimension, and contour to illustrate their physical appearances. The plotting outlines appear in the shapes of singular kink, anti-kink, kink, compacton, anti-compacton, bell, anti-bell, periodic, singular periodic etc. The computational software Maple is used for plotting and checking the validity of the found solutions. This paper claims to be novel for generating new results regarding the earlier results.

The present study investigated the determinants affecting students’ actual use through the use of a video-conferencing platform, and how actual use affects dance engagement, for enhancing the learning experience in the domain of dance education, particularly Philippine Traditional Dances. Therefore, this predictive-causal study aimed to assess the effect of actual use (by adopting Technology Acceptance Model) to dance engagement from a total sample of 1,741 students by using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling. It was observed that perceived ease of use directly affects perceived usefulness; both PEOU and PU impacts Behavioral Intention and Actual Use; and BI leverages Actual Use of the videoconferencing platform. Moreover, it was also found that AU strengthens Dance Engagement. Findings indicate that students may benefit greatly from using the videoconferencing platform that may significantly bolster their dance engagement in learning Philippine traditional dances, but with some obstacles that needs to be taken into consideration.

AbstractThe design of renewable energy systems traditionally emphasizes life cycle costs, often focusing primarily on emissions rather than a comprehensive life cycle impact assessment. This research proposes a four‐tier methodology to balance cost‐effectiveness and sustainability in the electrification of remote areas. Tier 1 focuses on understanding the community context by analyzing electrical load profiles, meteorological data, and component specifications for microgrid design. Tier 2 evaluates the feasibility of various systems, optimizing them through cost analysis and Multi‐Criteria Decision‐Making (MCDM) to rank alternatives. Tier 3 assesses environmental impacts using life cycle assessment, ranking alternatives based on environmental criteria. Tier 4 integrates cost and environmental rankings to determine the most suitable energy configurations, followed by sensitivity analysis to ensure robust decision‐making. The methodology is validated through a case study of an unelectrified remote community, demonstrating that the PV‐Wind Turbine‐Biomass Generator‐Converter configuration is the most robust alternative, proving to be the optimal choice in 50% of the analyzed scenarios, achieving a Cost of Energy of 0.213 USD/kWh while minimizing environmental impact across all 18 criteria considered over a 25‐year life cycle. This novel framework offers a scalable approach to designing renewable energy systems, enhancing sustainable electrification efforts in developing regions.

AbstractBackgroundEph receptors and ephrin ligands, the transmembrane proteins, function as a mechanism of communication between cells. Therefore, we intended to explore the expression array of EphB2 and EphB4 receptors and ephrin‐B1 ligand in postnatal developing mouse epididymis during 1 day to 8 weeks using RT‐PCR amplification and immunofluorescence staining.ResultsRT‐PCR analysis indicated that the expression levels of EphB2, EphB4, and ephrin‐B1 in the epididymis declined with the advancement of age during the initial phases of postnatal development and stayed relatively near to adult levels until 4 weeks. We discovered that the predominant compartments expressing EphB2/B4 and ephrin‐B1 emerged in the excurrent duct epithelia of postnatal developing epididymis until 3 weeks. Consequently, even before spermatozoa reach the excurrent duct in epididymis, at the age of 3 weeks, the epididymal excurrent duct system exhibits characteristics similar to those of an adult in terms of expression of EphB2/B4 and ephrin‐B1. Moreover, ephrin‐B1 was expressed in epididymal epithelial cells throughout the development and EphB4 was expressed only in early postnatal stages while basal cells expressed EphB4 throughout the postnatal development.ConclusionThe study represents the first expression analysis of ephrin‐B1, EphB2, and EphB4 in the normal mouse epididymis during the postnatal development.

AbstractMAPbI3 is the most attractive perovskite, but toxicity and instability issues hinder its commercial applications. Stability can be improved by halide mixing; however, Pb‐free perovskites are designed to alleviate the toxicity and to enable green photovoltaics (PVs). To this end, MAPbI3‐xClx, FASnI3‐xClx and CsSbCl4 films are deposited by spay pyrolysis technique in atmospheric conditions. SEM images demonstrated that through this process, high quality film fabrication is possible. Color of the precursor solutions changes with stirring time. High crystallinity and existence of mixed‐phases are confirmed by XRD analysis. Compositions greatly impact the morphology and optical properties. Value of α is larger than 105 cm−1 for all films. Band gaps of FASnI3‐xClx and CsSbCl4 are 1.46 eV and 1.52 eV, which are more suitable for PVs, optoelectronic applications than MAPbI3‐xClx (Eg = 1.59 eV). The efficiency was obtained as 16.34%, 9.90%, and 13.08% for deposited MAPbI3‐xClx, FASnI3‐xClx, and CsSbCl4 films. The lower efficiency can further be enhanced by optimizing parameters, and in this study it was found as 20.78%, 11.93%, and 18.02%. Theoretical calculations show the films can easily produce O2 by a strong oxidation process. Thus, the favorable characteristics of FASnI3‐xClx and CsSbCl4 make alternative Pb‐free perovskites for PV, electronic, and optoelectronic applications.image
