Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed thrombus in the right ventricle, which was the result of the prothrombotic state, and the patient expired on day tenth of hospitalization. Our case describes a unique case of right ventricular thrombosis secondary to macrophage activation syndrome (MAS).Epigenetic mechanisms, genetic factors, and environment influence the diversity of phenotypes developed in various diseases. Duplications in several chromosomes are well characterized in the scientific literature, but partial duplications, in some cases, present with milder forms of a disease and are yet to be understood. Fortunately, the identification of genetic diseases has now become more feasible due to several cytogenetic techniques such as microarray analysis and karyotyping. With these tools, together with other laboratory results and clinical examination, we are able to report the first case in the medical literature of double partial trisomy of chromosome 9q34 and 16p13.Acute type B aortic dissection (ATBAD) with malperfusion is a devastating complication. Especially, the spinal cord ischemia with ATBAD is very rare (3% of total malperfusion cases). Despite the possibility of various arterial involvement in ATBAD, cases of monoplegia due to spinal cord ischemia are extremely rare. Furthermore effective treatments for malperfusion induced spinal cord ischemia have not been established yet. We presented a case of a 62-year-old man with a sudden onset of chest pain and numbness and weakness of the left lower extremity. Follow up CT demonstrated ATBAD starting from below the left subclavian artery to the level of iliac bifurcation without distal reentry, involving malperfusion of the left renal, left intercostal and left lumbar arterial branches. Deciding on endovascular fenestration approach under considering his condition and comorbidity, the right common femoral artery was catheterized and a 5Fr sheath catheter was positioned into the true lumen (Cook Medical, IN, USA). After confirming the catheter was within the compressed true lumen, then aortic fenestration ballooning was performed to enlarge a tearing site by using 12-mm and 20-mm diameter balloons (Boston Scientific, Natick, Mass). The final angiography was demonstrated increased flow in the true lumen of descending aorta with good patency of the left renal artery where no flow had been observed. And enhanced CT confirmed the recovery of flow to the left intercostal and left lumbar branches. Finally the patient achieved the complete recovery of sensory and motor function of his left leg (His preoperative motor grade was 5/0). On postoperative day 3, he walked using a q-cane and now is being followed up on an outpatient basis without no complications. So, we would like to introduce this rare care of left lower monoplegia with ATBAD and suggest endovascular fenestration can be an effective treatment option to treat spinal cord ischemia in ATBAD.
  Dose optimization of TNF inhibitors in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is attractive, but it is unclear for which patients this approach might be appropriate.
 
  Seventy-one patients with axSpA, from six UK centres, were identified who had reduced their dose of TNF inhibitor after being considered to be stable responders. All completed a questionnaire concerning their approach to and experience of dose reduction. Data on patient characteristics, metrology and CRP were retrieved retrospectively from patient records.
 
  Over 2years of observation, 60 (84.5%) remained (REM) on reduced-dose medication and 11 (15.5%) reverted (REV) to the original dose. The overall mean dose reduction was 39% for REM patients and 44% for REV patients. Both groups initially responded in a similar manner to treatment, but the data showed a trend that younger women were more likely to revert. Neither BMI nor smoking was associated with continued low-dose responsiveness. Eight of the 11 REV patients reverted by 6 months. None reached criteria of secondary drug failure, and all regained control after increasing back to the original dose. Most patients in both groups reached the decision to reduce the dose jointly with clinicians. A preference for taking the reduced dose was not associated with low-dose drug survival.
 
  Many patients with axSpA remain well symptomatically after stepping down the dose of TNF inhibitor, but young women are less likely to do well on a reduced dose. Dose reduction should be one element of the management of patients with axSpA.

However, although AtMATE is also expressed following Al exposure and contributes to Al tolerance, whether AtMATE contributes to the variation of Al tolerance and the molecular mechanisms of ELP remains unclear. Here, we dissected the natural variation in AtMATE expression level in response to Al at the root using diverse natural accessions of Arabidopsis. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that more than half of accessions belonging to the Central Asia (CA) population show markedly low AtMATE expression levels, while the majority of European populations show high expression levels. The accessions of the CA population with low AtMATE expression also show significantly weakened Al tolerance. A single-population genome-wide association study (GWAS) of AtMATE expression in the CA population identified a retrotransposon insertion in the AtMATE promoter region associated with low gene expression levels. This may affect the transcriptional regulation of AtMATE by disrupting the effect of a cis-regulatory element located upstream of the insertion site, which includes AtSTOP1 (sensitive to proton rhizotoxicity 1) transcription factor-binding sites revealed by chromatin immunoprecipitation-qPCR analysis. Furthermore, the GWAS performed without the accessions expressing low levels of AtMATE, excluding the effect of AtMATE promoter polymorphism, identified several candidate genes potentially associated with AtMATE expression.
