Genetic and Clinical Profile of Chinese Patients with Autosomal Dominant Spastic ParaplegiaAbstractBackgroundHereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) refers to a group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by bilateral weakness, spasticity, and hyperreflexia in the lower limbs. The autosomal dominant HSP (ADHSP) predominantly presents as the pure form, but the clinical profiles and causal genetic variants underlying ADHSP are complex, and many remain unknown.MethodsA cohort of 15 Chinese HSP pedigrees...

Serum starvation enhances nonsense mutation readthroughAbstractOf all genetic mutations causing human disease, premature termination codons (PTCs) that result from splicing defaults, insertions, deletions, and point mutations comprise around 30%. From these mutations, around 11% are a substitution of a single nucleotide that change a codon into a premature termination codon. These types of mutations affect several million patients suffering from a large variety of genetic diseases, ranging from relatively...

Surface deformation processes in the Carmel Fault based on 17 years of GPS measurementsAbstractTectonic activity and crustal deformation in northern Israel are mainly related to the Dead Sea Fault (DSF) and the Carmel–Gilboa Fault System (CGFS). The CGFS is composed of several NW–SE trending faults while the main faults are the Carmel Fault (CF) and Gilboa Fault (GF). The CGFS divides the Sinai Sub-Plate into two tectonic domains. In this study, we geodetically investigate surface deformation processes...

Disappearing Diamonds: Fitch-Like Results in Bimodal LogicAbstractAugment the propositional language with two modal operators: □ and ■. Define \(\blacklozenge \) to be the dual of ■, i.e. \(\blacklozenge \equiv \neg \blacksquare \neg \). Whenever (X) is of the form φ → ψ, let (X\(^{\blacklozenge } \) ) be \(\varphi \rightarrow \blacklozenge \psi \). (X\(^{\blacklozenge } \) ) can be thought of as the modally qualified counterpart of (X)—for instance, under the metaphysical interpretation of \(\blacklozenge...

Recent studies from mice, rats and humans have shown that the sodium retention depends on urinary serine proteases and that it can be mitigated by blockers (amiloride, triamterene) of the epithelial sodium channel ENaC. The present review outlines the mechanisms of protease-stimulated sodium retention during proteinuric diseases. Recent findings Inhibition...
