Immunoblots probed with an antibody to M33 protein, a homolog of Drosophila Polycomb, revealed that most M33 in adult mouse liver had a higher electrophoretic mobility than that in F9 embryonal carcinoma cells. High-mobility 60-kDa M33 localized in the cytoplasmic fraction of liver homogenates, and two less abundant 66- and 70-kDa species were detected in the nuclear fraction. Immunocytochemistry of freeze-substituted tissues showed a punctate pattern of immunofluorescence in the cytoplasm of hepatic parenchymal cells. Nuclear M33 isoforms treated with alkaline phosphatase had increased mobilities corresponding to cytoplasmic M33. In partially hepatectomized mice, nuclear M33 isoforms appeared after 48 h, near the time of maximum DNA synthesis as measured by bromodeoxyuridine incorporation. By 60 h, most M33 was in the form of these low-mobility species, and the pattern of immunofluorescence suggested the existence of chromatin-bound and free states of the protein in the nucleus. Thereafter, high-mobility 60-kDa M33 reappeared. The data are consistent with a phosphorylation-associated translocation mechanism that is a cell cycle-dependent.

Air quality management benefits from an in-depth understanding of the emissions associated with, and composition of, local PM concentrations. Here, we investigate the changing role of biomass burning emissions to North American PM exposure by combining multiple satellite-, ground-, and simulation-based data sets biweekly at a 0.01° × 0.

Background: Rice ECQ (eating and cooking quality) is an important determinant of rice consumption and market expansion. Therefore, improvement of ECQ is one of the primary goals in rice breeding. However, ECQ-related quantitative trait loci (QTL) have not yet been fully revealed.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines radon and thoron exposure in homes in Franceville, Moanda, and Mounana, Gabon, focusing on measuring the equilibrium factor between thoron and its progeny for better estimation of health risks.
- Researchers deployed 150 detectors over three months, finding average thoron progeny concentrations of about 1.54 to 3.05 Bq/m3 across the towns, with varying equilibrium factor values indicating significant differences from established standards.
- The results suggest that the estimated annual effective inhalation doses in these locations are notably higher than previously calculated values from the UNSCEAR report, indicating potential health risks from natural radioactivity in these areas.

Scientific evidence sustains PM particles' inhalation may generate harmful impacts on human beings' health; therefore, their monitoring in ambient air is of paramount relevance in terms of public health. Due to the limited number of fixed stations within the air quality monitoring networks, development of methodological frameworks to model ambient air PM particles is primordial to providing additional information on PM exposure and its trends. In this sense, this work aims to offer a global easily-applicable tool to estimate ambient air PM as a function of meteorological conditions using a multivariate analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and incidence of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) in Thailand from 2017 to 2020, using data from the Ministry of Public Health.
- In 2017, the prevalence was found to be 13.9 per 100,000, with a higher occurrence in women compared to men (16.8 vs 10.9 per 100,000).
- The incidence of IIMs showed a gradual decline during the study period, particularly noted in southern Thailand, and was most common in the age group of 50-69, with a decrease in cases in 2020 likely related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
