TL;DR: In support, 20E injection at C3 stage crabs indicated a significant reduction in time duration of pleopodal embryonic development leading to hatching of zoea larvae, and the augmented hemolymph ecdysteroid titer helps in the synchronization of embryo hatching and the premolt changes, as occurring under the normal premolt conditions.

TL;DR: The significant antibacterial efficacy and antibiofilm activity of biopolymer capped AgNPs were demonstrated against different bacterial strains, Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 740 and Escherichia coli MTCC 9492, which can be used for industrial and biomedical applications.
Abstract: In the current study, facile synthesis of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and sodium alginate capped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was examined using microwave radiation and aniline as a reducing agent. The biopolymer matrix embedded nanoparticles were synthesized under various experimental conditions using different concentrations of biopolymer (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2%), volumes of reducing agent (50, 100, 150 μL), and duration of heat treatment (30 s to 240 s). The synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for identification of AgNPs synthesis, crystal nature, shape, size, and type of capping action. In addition, the significant antibacterial efficacy and antibiofilm activity of biopolymer capped AgNPs were demonstrated against different bacterial strains, Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 740 and Escherichia coli MTCC 9492. These results confirmed the potential for production of biopolymer capped AgNPs grown under microwave irradiation, which can be used for industrial and biomedical applications.

TL;DR: Exon 6 of CRYBB2 appears to be a critical region susceptible for mutations leading to lens opacity, and a substitution was identified as the most likely causative mutation underlying the phenotype of central nuclear cataract in all affected members of family C176.
Abstract: PURPOSE To study some functional candidate genes in cataract families of Indian descent. METHODS Nine Indian families, clinically documented to have congenital/childhood cataracts, were screened for mutations in candidate genes such as CRYG (A-->D), CRYBB2, and GJA8 by PCR analyses and sequencing. Genomic DNA samples of either probands or any representative affected member of each family were PCR amplified and sequenced commercially. Documentation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and candidate mutations was done through BLAST SEARCH (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/Blast.cgi?). RESULTS Several single nucleotide polymorphisms in CRYG, CRYBB2, and GJA8 genes were observed. Because they do not co-segregate with the phenotype, they were excluded as candidates for the cataract formation in these patients. However, a substitution (W151C in exon 6 of CRYBB2) was identified as the most likely causative mutation underlying the phenotype of central nuclear cataract in all affected members of family C176. Protein structural interpretations demonstrated that no major structural alterations could be predicted and that even the hydrogen bonds to the neighboring Leu166 were unchanged. Surprisingly, hydropathy analysis of the mutant betaB2-crystallin featuring the amino acids at position 147 to 155, further increased the hydrophobicity, which might impair the solubility of the mutant protein. Finally, the Cys residue at position 151 might possibly be involved in intramolecular disulphide bridges with other cysteines during translation, possibly leading to dramatic structural changes. CONCLUSIONS Exon 6 of CRYBB2 appears to be a critical region susceptible for mutations leading to lens opacity.
