CRISPR-mediated genome editing has undoubtedly revolutionized genetic engineering of animals. With the ability for virtually unlimited modification of almost any genome it is easy to forget which amazing discoveries paved the way for this ground-breaking technology. Here, we summarize the history of genome editing platforms, starting from enhanced integration of foreign DNA by meganuclease-mediated double-strand breaks to CRISPR/Cas9, the leading technology to date, and its re-engineered variants.The workplace provides an important delivery point for health promotion, yet many programs fail to engage men. A gender-sensitive 8-week team challenge-based intervention targeting increased physical activity was delivered at a petrochemical worksite. The purpose of this study was to examine men's pre-post physical activity and sleep following the intervention, as well as to explore program acceptability and gather men's recommendations for health promotion. Pre-post surveys assessed physical activity, sleep, program exposure, acceptability, and suggestions for continued support. Overall, 328 men completed baseline surveys and 186 (57%) completed follow-up surveys. Walking increased by 156.5 min/week, 95% confidence interval (61.2, 251.8), p = .001. Afatinib mw Men with higher program exposure increased moderate and vigorous activity 49.4 min more than those with low exposure (p = .026). Sleep duration and quality were higher postintervention, though changes were modest. Program acceptability was high as was intention to maintain physical activity. Men's suggestions to enable physical activity involved workplace practices/resources, reducing workload, and leadership support. These findings suggest that a gender-sensitive physical activity workplace intervention showed promise for improving physical activity and sleep among men. The men's suggestions reflected workplace health promotion strategies, reinforcing the need for employers to support ongoing health promotion efforts.Secretogranin III (SgIII) is a granin protein involved in secretory granule formation in peptide-hormone-producing endocrine cells. In this study, we analyzed the expression of the LacZ reporter in the SgIII knockout mice produced by gene trapping (SgIII-gtKO) for the purpose of comprehensively clarifying the expression patterns of SgIII at the cell and tissue levels. In the endocrine tissues of SgIII-gtKO mice, LacZ expression was observed in the pituitary gland, adrenal medulla, and pancreatic islets, where SgIII expression has been canonically revealed. LacZ expression was extensively observed in brain regions, especially in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamic nuclei, cerebellum, and spinal cord. In peripheral nervous tissues, LacZ expression was observed in the retina, optic nerve, and trigeminal ganglion. LacZ expression was particularly prominent in astrocytes, in addition to neurons and ependymal cells. In the cerebellum, at least four cell types expressed SgIII under basal conditions. The expression of SgIII in the glioma cell lines C6 and RGC-6 was enhanced by excitatory glutamate treatment. It also became clear that the expression level of SgIII varied among neuron and astrocyte subtypes. These results suggest that SgIII is involved in glial cell function, in addition to neuroendocrine functions, in the nervous system. To evaluate the pulp vitality in teeth adjacent to the cleft area submitted to orthodontic movement into the alveolar graft area in individuals with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CUCLP). Cold sensitivity, vertical, and horizontal percussion tests were conducted on the teeth adjacent to the cleft and the contralateral teeth. Endodontics Sector in the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of São Paulo (HRAC/USP). One hundred patients with CUCLP and hypodontia of the upper lateral incisor in orthodontic movement and after successful alveolar bone graft in the cleft area. The cleft study group (SG) was composed of 200 teeth, adjacent to the cleft area. The control group (CG) consisted of 200 contralateral teeth. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test for comparisons between groups ( < .05). In the SG, 82.0% of teeth presented positive response to the cold sensitivity testing, 13.5% had negative response, and 4.5% had marked response, with statistically significant difference in relation to the CG. The vertical and horizontal percussion tests on teeth in the SG revealed the same results, in which 95.0% presented negative response and 5.0% responded positively, without significant difference compared to teeth in the CG, for both tests. Teeth adjacent to the cleft area presented changes in the physiological conditions of the pulp, which were observed by reduction of positive response to the cold sensitivity testing or presence of pulp hypersensitivity in cases of marked response.Teeth adjacent to the cleft area presented changes in the physiological conditions of the pulp, which were observed by reduction of positive response to the cold sensitivity testing or presence of pulp hypersensitivity in cases of marked response.Cornus hongkongensis (Hemsl.) is an excellent ornamental tree species in China and elsewhere. In 2019, C. hongkongensis anthracnose was firstly observed at the campus of Jiangxi Agricultural University (JXAU) (28°45'56″N, 115°50'21″E), then found in parks, Nanchang, China. In early August, the disease appeared and lasted until the leaves dropped (November). The disease incidence was above 60%, and the diseased leaf rate was above 70%. The lesions mostly appeared along the leaf edges. Some small round to irregular lesions also developed in other parts of the leaves. These diseased leaves had circular or irregularly shaped spots with gray-white color in the center and dark brown on the edge of the lesions. Later, the lesions became necrotic and shriveled. As the disease progressed, the spots coalesced so that affected leaves appeared blighted (Supplementary Figure 1 A-C). To identify the pathogen, leaves with typical symptoms from the campus of JXAU were collected and small pieces (5 × 5 mm) from the lesion borders were surfaced sterilized in 70% ethanol for 30 s, followed by 1 min in 3% NaOCl, and then rinsed with sterile distilled water three times.
