Volatile components in fresh leaves are involved in the regulation of many stress responses, such as insect damage, fungal infection and high temperature. However, the potential function of volatile components in hyperosmotic response is largely unknown. Here, we found that 7-day hyperosmotic treatment specifically led to the accumulation of (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, (E)-2-hexenal and methyl salicylate. Transcriptome and qRT-PCR analyses suggested the activation of linolenic acid degradation and methyl salicylate processes. Importantly, exogenous (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol pretreatment dramatically enhanced the hyperosmotic stress tolerance of tea plants and decreased stomatal conductance, whereas (E)-2-hexenal and methyl salicylate pretreatments did not exhibit such a function. qRT-PCR analysis revealed that exogenous ABA induced the expressions of related enzyme genes, and (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol could up-regulate the expressions of many DREB and RD genes. Moreover, exogenous (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol tremendously induced the expressions of specific LOX and ADH genes within 24 h. Taken together, hyperosmotic stress induced (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol accumulation in tea plant via the activation of most LOX, HPL and ADH genes, while (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol could dramatically enhance the hyperosmotic stress tolerance via the decrease of stomatal conductance and MDA, accumulation of ABA and proline, activation of DREB and RD gene expressions, and probably positive feedback regulation of LOXs and ADHs. KEY MESSAGE Hyperosmotic stress induced (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol accumulation in Camellia sinensis via the up-regulation of most LOX, HPL and ADH genes, while (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol could dramatically enhance the hyperosmotic stress tolerance via the decrease of stomatal conductance, accumulation of proline, activation of DREB and RD gene expressions, and probably positive feedback regulation of LOXs and ADHs.In the world of nanotechnology, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have been considerably employed in numerous optical sensing and bioanalytical applications. Herein, a simple and cost-efficient methodology was developed to the quantification of deferiprone in plasma samples by utilizing the selective interaction of the GQDs and drug in the presence of Fe3+ ions. GQDs were synthesized by a bottom-up technique as an advantageous fluorescent probe. Increasing levels of deferiprone ranging from 5 to 50 mg.L-1, leads to significant fluorescence quenching of GQDs. In addition, the calibration curve was revealed a linear response in this range with a sensitivity of 5 mg.L-1. The method validation was carried out according to the FDA guidelines to confirm the accuracy, precision, stability and selectivity of the developed method. The results show that this green and low-cost fluorescent probe could be used for the analysis of deferiprone.The 3D HCCH-TOCSY and HCC(CO)NH-TOCSY experiments provide through bond connectivity and are used for side-chain chemical shift assignment by solution-state NMR. Careful design and implementation of the pulse sequence are key to the successful application of the technique particularly when trying to extract the maximum information out of challenging biomolecules. Here we investigate the source of and propose solutions for abnormal peak splitting ranging from 152 to 80 Hz and below that were found in three popular TOCSY-based experiment types H(F1)-C(F2)-DIPSI-H(F3), C(F1)-DIPSI-C(F2)-H(F3), and C(F1)-DIPSI-N(F2)-HN(F3). Peak splitting occurs in the indirect C(F1) or C(F2) dimension before DIPSI and analyses indicate that the artifacts are resulted mainly from the DIPSI transforming a double spin order [Formula see text] from 13C-13C scalar 1JCC coupling during t1 into observable megnetization. The splitting is recapitulated by numerical simulation and approaches are proposed to remove it. Adding a pure delay of 3.7 ms immediately before DIPSI is a simple and effective strategy to achieve 3D HCCH-TOCSY and HCC(CO)NH-TOCSY spectra free of splitting with full crosspeak intensity.BACKGROUND Videolaryngoscopes improve visualization of glottic in morbidly obese patients. Super-obesity is one of the risk factors influencing probability of difficult mask ventilation and difficult intubation. Super-obese (BMI > 50 kg/m2) patients should be intubated either with fiberscope awake intubation or with video laryngoscopes. METHODS In prospective observational study we decided to compare glottis view during intubation using I-view and McGrath Mac videolaryngoscopes in super obese patients. Patients were randomly allocated into group M (McGrath Mac) or group I (I-View). Obtained view was analyzed regarding POGO (Percentage Of Glottis Opening) scale and the necessity to use of additional aid like intubation stylet was recorded. Hemodynamic response to videolaryngoscopy was assessed. RESULTS As results POGO score was better in group M when compared to group I 81.66 ± 22.8% vs 96.66 ± 7.24% (p = 0.0132) in I and V groups respectively. The use of intubation stylet was similar in both groups. The hemodynamic response to videolaryngoscopy was similar between groups. CONCLUSION The POGO score was better for McGrath Mac than for I-view videolaryngoscope, however, both devices allowed for safe and effective intubation in super-obese patients. The hemodynamic response to videolaryngoscopy was similar between devices.Coxsackievirus B4 (CV-B4) is suspected to be an environmental factor that has the intrinsic capacity to damage the pancreatic beta cells and therefore causes insulitis and type 1 diabetes (T1D). Although vaccination against CV-B4 could reduce the incidence of this chronic auto-immune disease, there is currently no therapeutic reagent or vaccine in clinical use. https://www.selleckchem.com/GSK-3.html By the employment of the Bac-to-Bac® vector system to express the major viral capsid protein, we contributed towards the development of a CV-B4 vaccine by producing CV-B4 virus-like particles (VLPs) from recombinant baculovirus in infected insect cells. In fact Western blot and Immunofluorescence analysis detected the viral protein 1 (VP1) in the cells resulting from the construction of a recombinant bacmid DNA carrying the key immunogenic protein then transfected in the insect cells. Sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation fractions of the infected cell lysates contained the recombinant protein and the electron microscopy demonstrated the presence of VLPs in these sucrose fractions.
