Photosynthetic organisms have developed mechanisms to regulate light reactions in response to varying light conditions. Photosynthetic electron transport leads to the formation of a ΔpH across the thylakoid membrane (TM), which is crucial for regulating electron transport. However, other pH modulators remain to be identified, particularly in cyanobacteria.

- Malignant chest wall tumors require extensive resection and careful reconstruction, using vascularized tissue for both soft tissue and bone defects, with this study assessing how different reconstruction strategies impact complications.
- The research analyzed data from 45 patients who underwent 52 operations, categorizing tumors into superficial and deep types and examining outcomes based on the chosen reconstruction method.
- Results showed a local recurrence-free survival rate of 83.9% at 5 years, but a surgical complication rate of 11.5%, notably higher in deep tumors that required flap transfers, with these strategies being key risk factors for complications.
Unlabelled: Mdm38 and Ylh47 are homologs of the Ca/H antiporter Letm1, a candidate gene for seizures associated with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome in humans. Mdm38 is important for K/H exchange across the inner mitochondrial membrane and contributes to membrane potential formation and mitochondrial protein translation. Ylh47 also localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane.

We evaluated the long-term outcomes and recurrence patterns of involved-field radiotherapy (IFRT) in older patients with superficial thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Materials And Methods: Fifty-four patients (49 men and 5 women; mean age, 77 [range: 66-90] years) who underwent IFRT for superficial thoracic ESCC between January 2003 and January 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.
Introduction: Musculoskeletal transfer for chest wall tissue defects is a crucial method, and pedicled flaps around the chest wall are preferred in terms of location and simplicity of transfer. These require special care because of complications such as partial necrosis, fistula, wound dehiscence, infection, hematoma and restricted function of the arm or shoulder. However, studies of respiratory function are rare.
