Ecological studies of the moss and lichen communities in the ice-free areas near Syowa Station, Antarctica by Satoshi Nakanishi

“…It seems that the species composition and the distribution of the lichen communities are influenced decidedly by the organic nutrients supplied from the excrement of sea birds. (4) The direction of the habitat of each terrestrial community was examined in all ice-free areas. Most of the communities grew in habitats on the leeward side of wind-barriers facing from west-northwest to southwest, although the direction was somewhat determined by the pattern of water supply in their habitat. …”

The outcome of sutureless glue-free conjunctival autograft for recurrent pterygium by Ali A Ghali, Riad E Hassan

“…Patients and methods A retrospective study of 23 eyes of 21 patients with recurrent pterygium was done, and excision was performed in all eyes. Free conjunctival autograft was taken from superior quadrant of the same eye, and bare sclera was covered without the use of sutures or fibrin glue, allowing natural autologous coagulum of the recipient bed to act as a bioadhesive. …”

Dysregulated transcriptional networks in KMT2A- and MLLT10-rearranged T-ALL by Huining Kang, Nitesh D. Sharma, Christian K. Nickl, Meenakshi Devidas, Mignon L. Loh, Stephen P. Hunger, Kimberly P. Dunsmore, Stuart S. Winter, Ksenia Matlawska-Wasowska

“…Abstract For children and young adults with T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), event free survival following relapse is < 10%. We recently showed that rearrangements of the mixed lineage leukemia gene (KMT2A-R) are associated with induction failure and an inferior survival in T-ALL. …”

The molecular mechanism of ion-dependent gating in secondary transporters. by Chunfeng Zhao, Sergei Yu Noskov

“…Using a multi-dimensional path sampling (string-method) followed by all-atom free energy simulations, we established the principal thermodynamic and kinetic components governing the ion-dependent conformational dynamics of a LeuT-like fold transporter, the sodium/benzyl-hydantoin symporter Mhp1, for an entire conformational cycle. …”

The New Therapeutic Strategies in Pediatric T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia by Marta Weronika Lato, Anna Przysucha, Sylwia Grosman, Joanna Zawitkowska, Monika Lejman

“…Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a genetically heterogeneous cancer that accounts for 10–15% of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cases. The T-ALL event-free survival rate (EFS) is 85%. The evaluation of structural and numerical chromosomal changes is important for a comprehensive biological characterization of T-ALL, but there are currently no genetic prognostic markers. …”

Generation of millijoule-level sub-5 fs violet laser pulses by Xinhua Xie, Yi Hung, Yunpei Deng, Adrian L. Cavalieri, Andrius Baltuška, Steven L. Johnson

“…Subsequently, we compress the second harmonic beam to a duration of 4.8 fs with a pulse energy of 0.64 mJ (5 fs with a pulse energy of 1.05 mJ) using chirped mirrors. The all-solid free-space apparatus is compact, robust and pulse energy scalable, making it highly advantageous for generating intense second harmonic pulses from near-infrared femtosecond lasers in the sub-5 fs regime.…”
