A high-throughput protocol for screening wheat for heat stress response at elevated CO2 was established and meiosis was the most sensitive stage, affecting pollen viability, grain formation and yield.Freelisting is a qualitative interviewing technique that has recently grown in popularity. It is an excellent tool for rapidly exploring how groups of people think about and define a particular health-related domain and is well suited for engaging communities and identifying shared priorities. In this article, we outline 7 practical considerations for conducting freelisting studies summarized from 16 articles conducted by the authors at the University of Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson University in partnership with community-based organizations and students. Our recommendations can inform study design, data collection, and data analysis for investigators who are interested in using freelisting interviews in their research.Implementation research of health programs in faith-based organizations is lacking. The Faith, Activity, and Nutrition (FAN) program helps churches improve physical activity and fruit and vegetable behaviors of members. This study examined associations between implementation of FAN intervention components and church members' physical activity, fruit and vegetable behaviors, and self-efficacy for improving these behaviors. FAN was implemented in 35 churches in a southeastern US county. After attending in-person training, led by community health advisors, church committees received 12 months of telephone-delivered technical assistance to implement FAN according to 4 components increasing opportunities, increasing guidelines and policies, increasing pastor support, and increasing messages for physical activity and healthy eating in their church. In this correlational study, FAN coordinators (n = 35) for each church reported baseline practices in 2015 and 12-month follow-up implementation of the 4 components for s were associated with higher fruit and vegetable consumption and self-efficacy. Member-perceived implementation was more strongly associated with member behaviors than coordinator-reported implementation. Providing opportunities for healthy eating during already scheduled events may be an effective strategy for improving fruit and vegetable behavior.Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease/steatohepatitis (NAFLD/NASH) are becoming major liver diseases worldwide. Liver fibrosis and cirrhosis are among the most significant risk factors of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and associated with the long-term prognosis of NAFLD patients. To stratify the risk of HCC in NAFLD patients clinically, the discovery of non-invasive fibrosis markers is needed urgently. Liver macrophages play critical roles in the regulation of inflammation and fibrosis by interacting with hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and other immune cells. Thus, it is rational to explore feasible biomarkers for liver fibrosis by focusing on macrophage-related factors. We examined serum factors comprehensively in multiple cohorts of NAFLD/NASH patients to determine whether they were correlated with the biopsy-proven fibrosis stage. We found that the serum levels of interleukin (IL)-34, YKL-40 and soluble Siglec-7 (sSiglec7) were closely associated with liver fibrosis and served as diagnostic biomarkers in patients with NAFLD/NASH. In the NAFLD liver, IL-34 was produced by activated fibroblasts, and YKL-40 and sSiglec-7 were secreted from macrophages. The sensitivity and specificity of these markers to detect advanced liver fibrosis varied, supporting the notion that the combination of these markers with other modalities is an option for clinical application.Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death in the United States and is primarily caused by cigarette smoking. Increased numbers of mucus-producing secretory ("goblet") cells, defined as goblet cell metaplasia or hyperplasia (GCMH), contributes significantly to COPD pathophysiology. The objective of this study was to determine whether NOTCH signaling regulates goblet cell differentiation in response to cigarette smoke. Primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) from nonsmokers and smokers with COPD were differentiated in vitro on air-liquid interface and exposed to cigarette smoke extract (CSE) for 7 days. NOTCH signaling activity was modulated using 1) the NOTCH/γ-secretase inhibitor dibenzazepine (DBZ), 2) lentiviral overexpression of the NICD3 (NOTCH3-intracellular domain), or 3) NOTCH3-specific siRNA. Cell differentiation and response to CSE were evaluated by quantitative PCR, Western blotting, immunostaining, and RNA sequencing. We found that CSE exposure of nonsmoker airway epithelium induced goblet cell differentiation characteristic of GCMH. Treatment with DBZ suppressed CSE-dependent induction of goblet cell differentiation. Furthermore, CSE induced NOTCH3 activation, as revealed by increased NOTCH3 nuclear localization and elevated NICD3 protein levels. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/sndx-5613.html Overexpression of NICD3 increased the expression of goblet cell-associated genes SPDEF and MUC5AC, whereas NOTCH3 knockdown suppressed CSE-mediated induction of SPDEF and MUC5AC. Finally, CSE exposure of COPD airway epithelium induced goblet cell differentiation in a NOTCH3-dependent manner. These results identify NOTCH3 activation as one of the important mechanisms by which cigarette smoke induces goblet cell differentiation, thus providing a novel potential strategy to control GCMH-related pathologies in smokers and patients with COPD.Participants attempted to center a cursor on a video display of a winding roadway with a rate control system. Fourier analysis of their steering movements in response to sinusoidal perturbations of the roadway revealed how much attention they allocated to different roadway preview locations. We compared a full 1.0 s of preview with preview restricted to a narrow slit around 0.3 s or 0.6 s. Participants were able to flexibly shift their attention to either slit. However, they performed better in terms of root-mean-squared error, velocity error, and acceleration error with the fuller view. They concentrated their attention over a range from 0.1 s to 0.3 s of preview in a manner qualitatively consistent with Miller's optimal control model.
