In this study, we reported that small glutamine-rich TPR-containing protein (SGT) interacted with not only Hsp90alpha but also Hsp90beta. Confocal analysis showed that treatment of cells with Hsp90-specific inhibitor geldanamycin (GA) disrupted the interaction of SGT with Hsp90beta and this contributed to the increase of nuclear localization of SGT in HeLa cells. The increased nuclear localization of SGT was further confirmed by the Western blotting in GA-treated HeLa cells and H1299 cells. In our previous study, SGT was found to be a new pro-apoptotic factor, so we wondered whether the sub-cellular localization of SGT was related with cell apoptosis. By confocal analysis we found that the nuclear import of SGT was significantly increased in STS-induced apoptotic HeLa cells, which implied that the sub-cellular localization of SGT was closely associated with Hsp90beta and apoptosis.

Examining the efficacy of constructed wetland coupled microbial fuel cell to treat textile wastewater using local wetlands plant species.

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

December 2024

Department of Environmental Science, Faculty of Science, SGT University, Gurugram, Haryana, India.

Constructed wetland coupled microbial fuel cells (CW-MFC) offer a dual benefit of wastewater treatment and bioelectricity generation. While existing research predominantly emphasizes cell configuration, there is a limited exploration of the impact that various wetland plants may have on bioelectricity production in CW-MFCs. This research examined three distinct native wetland plants: Canna indica, Typha latifolia, and Eichhornia crassipes.

Introduction: The impacts of climate change can be profound in many ecosystems worldwide, including drylands such as arid and semi-arid scrublands and grasslands. Foundation plants such as shrubs can provide microclimatic refuges for a variety of taxa. These shrubs can directly influence micro6 environmental measures, and indirectly increase the local environmental heterogeneity as a result.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the impact of pre-cooling on children's pain experiences during local anesthetic injections for dental procedures.
  • Participants included 60 child patients, divided into two groups: a control group that did not receive pre-cooling and a pre-cooling group that had the injection site chilled for one minute.
  • Results showed that the pre-cooling group experienced significantly lower pain levels, suggesting that this technique can enhance comfort for pediatric patients undergoing dental treatments, particularly those with anxiety or fear of needles.

Article Synopsis
  • Local anesthesia can cause anxiety and pain in children during dental procedures, making it important to find ways to reduce discomfort.
  • A study involving 30 children aged 6 to 10 compared a vibrating device to traditional techniques to see which was more effective in alleviating pain during local anesthesia administration.
  • Results showed that using the vibrating device significantly decreased pain and discomfort, as measured by the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale and the FLACC scale.
