Terminal differentiation of nail matrix keratinocytes involves up-regulation of DNase1L2 but is independent of caspase-14 expression

Abstract Terminal differentiation of keratinocytes in the epidermis and in epidermal appendages results in specialized forms of cell death. Keratinocytes of the nail matrix differentiate into nail corneocytes, the building blocks of the nail plate. Here, we show that, in contrast to the abrupt breakdown of the nucleus during corneocyte formation of epidermal keratinocytes, chromatin undergoes progressive condensation over several nail matrix cell layers below the transition zone to the nail plate, where nuclear DNA disappears. Virtually all keratinocytes in the cell layer immediately beneath the nail plate contained terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated fluorescein-dUTP nick end labeling-positive DNA fragments. Nail matrix keratinocytes lacked processed caspase-3, a marker of apoptosis, and did not express caspase-14, a protease up-regulated during terminal differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes. By contrast, DNase1L2, which is also up-regulated during the differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes and plays an essential role in differentiation-associated degradation of nuclear DNA in epidermal keratinocytes, was strongly expressed in the nail matrix–nail plate transition layer. Our results show that caspase-14 is not strictly, if at all, required for differentiation-associated keratinocyte cell death and implicates DNase1L2 in terminal differentiation of nail matrix keratinocytes.     

Effect of long-term therapy with sodium valproate on nail and serum trace element status in epileptic children

Antiepileptic drugs could cause changes in the trace element status of the body. Valproic acid (VPA) is a very effective anticonvulsant agent widely used in the management of various forms of epilepsy. Nail trace element content is a reliable index of trace element nutritional status of the body. To determine whether some of the side effects of antiepileptic drugs could be the result of zinc (Zn) depletion within tissues, Zn concentrations as well as copper (Cu) concentrations in nail and serum in 59 children having various types of epilepsy receiving valproate and 31 controls were assessed. Although serum Zn level in epileptic patients was found to be decreased, there was no difference in nail samples when compared to controls. There was a statistically significant increase in nail Cu level in epileptic patients when compared to controls. On the other hand, serum Cu levels were not different between the groups. Although none of our patients showed any symptoms of Cu elevation and Zn depletion, we should pay attention to potential body trace element changes in patients with epilepsy under VPA treatment. In conclusion, our results indicate that serum trace metal homeostasis might be affected by VPA therapy, but not by the convulsive disorder itself.     

The reproductive system of Limnopilos naiyanetri indicates a thoracotreme affiliation of Hymenosomatidae (Decapoda,Eubrachyura)

The eubrachyuran Hymenosomatoidea is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions ranging from marine to freshwater habitats. Even though the biology of this taxon has been studied to some extent, its phylogenetic relationships are not resolved. Based on different morphological characters, some authors suggested a close affinity of hymenosomatid crabs to heterotremes. However, many of these characters are ambiguous, and the few molecular studies did not provide convincing solutions either. To address this issue, we studied the reproductive system of the hymenosomatid freshwater species Limnopilos naiyanetri Chuang and Ng, 1991 using histology and scanning electron microscopy. The females show the characteristic organization of the paired eubrachyuran reproductive system. Additionally, a bursa (an accessory sperm storing cuticle cavity) is present. The male copulatory system is characterized by paired long first and short second gonopods, and a pair of sternal gonopores equipped with a penis. Both, the female and male reproductive organs reveal a number of similarities to thoracotreme crabs. The seminal receptacle is lined by a very thin cuticle and by a mono-layered glandular epithelium. The male gonopods and the sternal genital opening also resemble the thoracotreme condition. Thus, our results indicate that Hymenosomatidae are most likely part of the Thoracotremata.

Mechanical and thermal properties of particle boards made from farm residues

Five farm residues were used for the manufacture of low-density particle boards in a hot platter press using urea formaldehyde as the binding material. Mechanical and thermal properties of the boards were evaluated. The maize-cob board was superior to other boards in mechanical and screw/nail holding strength, suggesting its use for interior applications, while paddy-straw board and coconut-pith board were found to be suitable for insulation purposes.     

Fixation of a human rib by an intramedullary telescoping splint anchored by bone cement

A novel concept for rib fixation is presented that involves the use of a bioresorbable polymer intramedullary telescoping splint. Bone cement is used to anchor each end of the splint inside the medullary canal on each side of the fracture site. In this manner, rib fixation is achieved without fixation device protrusion from the rib, making the splint completely intramedullary. Finite element analysis is used to demonstrate that such a splint/cement composite can preserve rib fixation subjected to cough-intensity force loadings. Computational fluid dynamics and porcine rib experiments were used to study the anchor formation process required to complete the fixation.
