TL;DR: In this paper, the status of contamination and possible spatial and temporal trends were evaluated in perch sampled at three sites in the Odra/Oder river estuary in the south-western part of the Baltic Sea, in 1996-1997.

TL;DR: Filth flies associated with a cattle barn and a municipal landfill were tested positive by combined immunofluorescent antibody and fluorescent in situ hybridization for Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia on their exoskeletons and in their guts.
Abstract: Filth flies associated with a cattle barn and a municipal landfill were tested positive by combined immunofluorescent antibody and fluorescent in situ hybridization for Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia on their exoskeletons and in their guts. More pathogens were carried by flies from the cattle barn than from the landfill; 81% of C. parvum and 84% of G. lamblia pathogens were presumptively viable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the NPHS2 gene encoding podocin is implicated in an autosomal-recessive form of nonsyndromic steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome in both pediatric and adult patients.
Abstract: Mutations in the NPHS2 gene encoding podocin are implicated in an autosomal-recessive form of nonsyndromic steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome in both pediatric and adult patients. Patients with homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations commonly present with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome before the age of 6 years and rapidly progress to end-stage kidney disease with a very low prevalence of recurrence after renal transplantation. Here, we reviewed all the NPHS2 mutations published between October 1999 and September 2013, and also all novel mutations identified in our personal cohort and in international genetic laboratories. We identified 25 novel pathogenic mutations in addition to the 101 already described. The mutations are distributed along the entire coding region and lead to all kinds of alterations including 53 missense, 17 nonsense, 11 small insertions, 26 small deletions, 16 splicing, two indel mutations, and one mutation in the stop codon. In addition, 43 variants were classified as variants of unknown significance, as these missense changes were exclusively described in the heterozygous state and/or considered benign by prediction software. Genotype-phenotype analyses established correlations between specific variants and age at onset, ethnicity, or clinical evolution. We created a Web database using the Leiden Open Variation Database (www.lovd.nl/NPHS2) software that will allow the inclusion of future reports. © 2013 WILEY PERIODICALS, INC.

TL;DR: A strongly iron-responsive gene of previously unknown function, At3g12900, encodes a scopoletin 8-hydroxylase involved in coumarin biosynthesis, and plays an important role in the iron uptake strategy of Arabidopsis.
Abstract: Iron deficiency is a serious agricultural problem, particularly in alkaline soils. Secretion of coumarins by Arabidopsis thaliana roots is induced under iron deficiency. An essential enzyme for the biosynthesis of the major Arabidopsis coumarins, scopoletin and its derivatives, is Feruloyl-CoA 6'-Hydroxylase1 (F6'H1), which belongs to a large enzyme family of the 2-oxoglutarate and Fe2+-dependent dioxygenases. We have functionally characterized another enzyme of this family, which is a close homologue of F6'H1 and is encoded by a strongly iron-responsive gene, At3g12900. We purified At3g12900 protein heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and demonstrated that it is involved in the conversion of scopoletin into fraxetin, via hydroxylation at the C8 position, and that it thus functions as a scopoletin 8-hydroxylase (S8H). Its function in plant cells was confirmed by the transient expression of S8H protein in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, followed by metabolite profiling and biochemical and ionomic characterization of Arabidopsis s8h knockout lines grown under various iron regimes. Our results indicate that S8H is involved in coumarin biosynthesis, as part of mechanisms used by plants to assimilate iron.
