Abstract:
Many freshwater naiad shells recovered from prehistoric Iowa archaeological sites have edges exhibiting patterns of use-wear. The ethnographic and ethnohistoric records contain accounts of the use of these shells in the removal of kernels from corn cobs. Recently, archaeologists have begun tracing use of stone implements through analysis of microscopic wear patterns and deposition of material such as opal phytoliths. Opal phytoliths are small silica bodies which plants deposit within and between some cells. Corn is among the plants which produce opal phytoliths in abundance. Experimentally created naiad shell implements were used to remove kernels from corn cobs. The deposits left on the edges of these implements were compared to those of prehistoric naiad shells thought to be utilized. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray microanalysis were utilized.The prehistoric and experimentally created edges were prepared for examination by cleaning and coating with carbon. Examination of the tools was performed with a Hitachi S-570 electron microscope equipped with a Kevex 8000 x-ray microanalyzer.

Abstract:
Native aquatic plants are important to maintaining a balanced ecosystem, but they often are displaced by exotic invasive plant species. The research on the control and growth of the invasive aquatic species hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata) using sand substrates and controlled-release fertilizers (CRF) provides a potential production technique for other aquatic plants. We questioned if we could use hydrilla production techniques to grow southern naiad (Najas guadalupensis), a Florida-native aquatic plant that is often mistaken for hydrilla. We grew southern naiad cuttings in containers filled with 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, or 0:100 coarse builder’s sand and sphagnum moss (by volume). Before planting, containers were fertilized with 0, 1, 2, or 4 g·kg−1 CRF (15N–4P–10K). Containers were submerged in large storage tubs filled with rainwater and grown for 8 weeks. Southern naiad shoot dry weight was greater in the 100% sand substrate than that in the 0% sand substrate. Substrate electrical conductivity (EC) levels were greater in the 0% sand with no difference among the other substrates. Shoot and root dry weight of plants fertilized with 1–2 g·kg−1 CRF were greater than 0 or 4 g·kg−1 CRF. Substrate EC also increased as fertilizer rate increased, with the highest EC observed at 4 g·kg−1 CRF. Based on our results, we would suggest growing southern naiad in substrates with 100% sand and fertilized with 1–2 g·kg−1 CRF.

Abstract:
We tested the hypotheses that potential egg predators, crayfish Procambarus nigrocinctus and dytiscid Cybister sp. larvae, would accelerate the timing of hatching and that a larval predator, dragonfly naiad Anax junius, would delay hatching in the southern leopard frog (Rana sphenocephala). We also tested the hypothesis that differences in response would be proportional to predator lethality. Our results indicate that our hypotheses were partially supported. The presence of an efficient egg predator (crayfish) induces hatching faster than a less efficient predator (dytiscid larvae). However, the presence of a larval predator (naiads) did not delay hatching. Eggs that developed in the presence of egg predators produced hatchlings that were shorter (total length) than those reared in the presence of larval predators or those reared in the absence of predators. We suggest that earlier hatching times should decrease vulnerability to egg predators but result in shorter hatchlings.

Abstract:
A fossil of a mayfly nymph that shows similarities with the modern genus Teloganella Ulmer, 1939 of the family Teloganellidae is recorded for the first time from the Indian subcontinent. It is systematically described from the Gurha lignite mine of Bikaner, Rajasthan which belongs to the Palana Formation (late Paleocene-early Eocene). As assignment of the fossil to a modern species of Teloganella is difficult due to indistinguishable location of gills in the impression, a new species, Teloganella gurhaensis Agnihotri et al., sp. nov. is instituted to include this fossil naiad resembling the extant Teloganella.

Abstract:
The Odonata Order has a wide geographical distribution. The life cycle is complex, with stage of aquatic nymph, the naiad and winged adults. The research was carried out in peer-reviewed journals at the PuMed and Capes databases, with the keyword Odonata "and" ecology, when the text was complete and available. The used books were researched with insects theme, entomology, available in the collection of the library of the Federal University of the Triângulo Mineiro or private collection. The theoretical framework deals with biology, life cycle, sexual behavior and biodiversity. The Odonata order needs preserved places to reproduce and develop. Some authors mention that certain species of dragonflies can be considered good bioindicators of preserved environment, since they are sensitive to environmental changes. Finally, there is a need for further studies on taxonomy, physiology, and ethology to use this group as a bioindicator in quick works.

Abstract:
The mussel leech Batracobdella kasmiana (Oka, 1910) (Hirudinida: Glossiphoniidae) inhabits the mantle cavity of large freshwater mussels (Sawyer 1986; Lai & Chen 2010). This specific lifestyle is unusual in leeches although a few additional parasitic species from mussels have been reported (Grizzle & Brunner 2009). The known localities of B. kasmiana are situated in Japan (Honshu), continental China and Taiwan (Oka 1910, 1917; Gee 1919; Yang 1996; Yamauchi et al. 2008; Lai & Chen 2010). The majority of records were reported from continental China, in which this species is widely distributed across the eastern half of the country from Yunnan to Beijing (Yang 1996). It has never been mentioned as a member of the Russian fauna (Lukin 1976). A few naiad species in the family Unionidae are known hosts of B. kasmiana, including Sinanodonta spp., Cristaria plicata (Leach, 1815), and Nodularia douglasiae (Griffith and Pidgeon, 1833) (Oka 1917; Yang 1996; Yamauchi et al. 2008). The biology and ecological preferences of this leech species are poorly known (Yang 1996; Yamauchi et al. 2008; Lai & Chen 2010).

Abstract:
The 40 Hrs. treatment of last instar naiad of Trithemis aurora (Burm.) in Chlorphyriphos and Quinalphos pesticides concentrations (LC50 = 5.12 ×10-7 ppm and 7.6 × 10-8 ppm) has shown significant variations in the enzyme kinetic parameters and arrested the enzymatic activity in the midgut tissue of last instar naiad of T. aurora causing deleterious effect on various carbohydrases at standard temp. and pH value. The midgut amylase ( μ and β amylase) showed the change in the velocity of enzymatic reaction under LC50 conc. of chlorpyriphos. The data of initial velocity and substrate concentration were processed to achieve their reciprocal values. These values were plotted and a characteristic Lineweaver Burke straight line was observed from the graph and values of maximum reaction velocity (Vmax) and Michaelis Menten constants (km) were assessed. The present organophosphorus pesticide showed an inhibitory impact on midgut amylase reaction velocity. The double reciprocal plot of initial velocity and substrate concentration after exposing the enzyme under LC50 conc. of chlorphyriphos resulted in varied Vmax and Km. values. These carbohydrase on treatment with LC50 conc. of chlorphyriphos showed an inhibitory change in the reaction velocity. The 1/V and 1/S values were plotted to achieve a characteristic Lineweaver – Burke pattern of Vmax and km values obtained as 5.0 × 10-2 [M] and 2.0 under LC50 chlorphyriphos stress for α amylase. The km and Vmax values were obtained from 0.625 × 10-3 [M] to 1.25 × 10-2 [M] for various other midgut carbohydrases with Vmax value obtained from 0.28 to 5.0 under chlorpyriphos stress. The Quinalphos inhibited the enzymatic efficiencies of various carbohydrases severely and changed Km and Vmax values were found under the pesticidal stress and found as potent uncompetitive inhibitor for enzymes as values compared to the controlled enzymatic reactions by deranging the kinetic values. The Km values determined as on 1/V and 1/S basis found deranged from 1.66 × 10-3 [M] to 10 × 10-2 [M]. The Vmax values were found in a range of 0.41 to 3.3 under LC50 Quinalphos stress for midgut hydrolases. The analysis of enzymec kinetic values revealed the great inhibitory and deranged activities of various carbohydrases under both the pesticide constrain. The present toxicants were found to change the enzymatic velocity negatively. The LC50 concentrations of these toxicants were sufficient to inhibit the activity of present hydrolases as α and β amylase, α glucosidase, α galactosidase, β galactosidase, β frictosidase and α trehalase obtaining a meaningful Lineweaver – Burke line of plotted reciprocals of data of reaction velocity and substrate concentration.

Abstract:
White rust, caused by Albugo occidentalis, is an economically important disease of spinach (Spinacia oleracea). Although cultural practices and partial host resistance are used for disease management, control strategies often rely on fungicides. An alternative approach, the use of ionic (cationic or anionic) and nonionic surfactants, was evaluated for its effect on white rust in greenhouse and field experiments. Surfactant treatments were compared with a water control and two commercial fungicides, azoxystrobin (Quadris) and 1,2,3-benzothiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid S-methyl ester (Actigard). Greenhouse plants were treated with a single surfactant application followed by inoculation with sporangia. Disease severity was rated on leaves 8 to 12 days after inoculation. Field tests were conducted in Arkansas and Texas and received three to five surfactant applications during the season. Disease severity was determined at the end of the growing season. In greenhouse and field tests, all surfactant treatments showed significant reductions in white rust severity compared with water controls. The surfactants Naiad and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) were highly effective and comparable to fungicides in reducing white rust severity. In a laboratory assay, microscopic examination revealed that most of the surfactants at low concentrations caused rapid (<2 min) zoospore lysis.

Full text
Abstract:
I described the initial response of the Rana sylvatica LeConte, 1825 tadpole to predator contact, that is, the tactile-stimulated startle response (TSR). Because tadpole survival from predation increases with tadpole size and with exposure to chemical predator cues during development, I anticipated that TSR performance would vary accordingly among tadpoles. Startle responses were stimulated in a laboratory setting and filmed using high-speed video. This method allowed analysis of performance at fine spatial and temporal scales. Maximum acceleration performance increased with tadpole length, as did cumulative distance covered after the first 0.016 s of the response. In contrast, the cumulative distance covered during the initial instants of the response did not depend on tadpole size. Exposure to a predator cue (odor of the dragonfly naiad Anax junius (Drury, 1773)) during development had no effect on tadpole morphology. Predator-cue exposure negatively affected cumulative distance traveled after the first 0.072 s of the startle response. I concluded that size-dependent variation in performance of the TSR may partially explain differential survival of tadpoles, but there was no evidence that exposure to this predator cue increased TSR performance.

Abstract:
The Salpetermosen area in north-east Sjælland, Denmark, was deglaciated about 18 000 to 17 000 years ago. Melting of bodies of stagnant glacier ice led to the for-mation of kettle holes, which contain Lateglacial and Holocene sediments with remains of plants and animals that provide information on the past flora and fauna of the area. During the Allerød period, open forests with Betula pubescens (downy birch) characterised the area, the flora included light-demanding species such as Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (bearberry), Empetrum nigrum (crowberry) and rare Populus tremula (aspen), Betula nana (dwarf birch) and Rubus saxatilis (stone bramble), as well as the thermophilous swamp plant Oenanthe aquatica (fine-leaved water dropwort). During the Younger Dryas, the vegetation was characterised by dwarf-shrub heaths dominated by Betula nana, but including Dryas octopetala (mountain avens), Salix herbacea (least willow), Arctostaphylos alpina (alpine bearberry,) and rare Betula pube-scens, as well as the thermophilous plants Urtica dioeca (stinging nettle) and Lychnis flos-cuculi (ragged robin). The Early Holocene forests were dominated by Betula pubescens, Populus tremula and Pinus sylvestris (scots pine), but included rare Betula nana. Alnus glutinosa (alder) arrived at c. 10 000 cal. years BP. The calciphilous sedge Cladium mariscus (fen-sedge) and the macrolimnophyte Najas marina (spiny naiad) were common. The Late Holocene flora included the acidophilous plant Scheuchzeria palustris (rannoch-rush).

Abstract:
Nature-based solutions (NBS) are increasingly being considered as an option to reduce societies’ vulnerability to natural hazards, creating co-benefits while protecting ecosystem services in a context of changing climate patterns with more frequent and extreme weather events. The reinsurance and insurance industries are increasingly cited as sectors that can play a role to help manage risks, by improving disaster risk reduction (DRR) and loss prevention. This paper investigates how the (re)insurance industry could support the transition from a paradigm focused on ex-post responses to ex-ante risk reduction measures including NBS, in line with the Sendai Framework. This paper presents the results of a series of 61 interviews undertaken with the (re)insurance sector and related actors under the EU H2020 Nature Insurance Value Assessment and Demonstration (NAIAD) project. Methods based on a Grounded Theory approach indicate how this sector can play different roles in loss prevention, including ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (eco-DRR). Results illustrate how the (re)insurance industry, under these roles, is gradually innovating by having a better understanding of hazards and mitigation. The findings of the study contribute to wider discussions such as the possibility of new arrangements like natural insurance schemes and evidence-based assessment of avoided damage costs from green protective measures, in Europe and beyond.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: To assess the role of neoadjuvant androgen deprivation (NAAD) and transperineal interstitial permanent prostate brachytherapy (TIPPB) using a matched-pair analysis selected from a large cohort of patients undergoing TIPPB. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Six hundred twelve consecutive patients with clinically confined prostate cancer were treated between June 1992, and January 1997, with permanent ultrasound-guided TIPPB with either palladium-103 or iodine-125 as monotherapy or combined with external radiation. Patients with prostate glands ≥ 60 g underwent treatment with NAAD before TIPPB to reduce the prostate volume (n = 163). The median duration of NAAD was 3.4 months before TIPPB (range, 1 to 8 months). To assess the benefit of NAAD, a matched-pair analysis was performed. The American Society of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology Consensus Group definition of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) relapse-free survival (RFS) was used with the added caveat of an absolute increase of ≥ 1.0 ng/mL. Differences in pretreatment PSA, Gleason scores, and stage were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curves and the log-rank test. RESULTS: Two hundred sixty-three patients were matched, with a median follow-up duration of 46 months (range, 24 to 76 months). The actuarial 5-year PSA-RFS rate for all 263 patients is 86.5%. The 5-year PSA-RFS rate for patients treated with NAAD and TIPPB was 87.1% compared with 86.9% for those treated with TIPPB only (P = .935). Subgroup analysis by Gleason score groupings, pretreatment PSA, or stage of disease failed to identify any factors for which androgen ablation was beneficial. CONCLUSION: We were unable to identify any improvement with the addition of NAAD to TIPPB in patients with localized prostate cancer in this retrospective matched-pair analysis. Furthermore, there was no subset for which the addition of NAAD was found to be beneficial. Clarification of the role and duration of NAAD in patients with early-stage prostate cancer will require prospective data.

Abstract:
Predator-induced control of pests depends on the predator’s preference for the target pest over naturally co-occurring prey species. We compared the larvivorous efficiency of three common freshwater predators: mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis; Baird and Girard, 1854), dragonfly naiads (Zyxomma petiolatum; Rambur, 1842) and copepods (Mesocyclops aspericornis; Daday, 1906) on different instars and the relative abundances of the mosquito Anopheles stephensi (Liston, 1901) in the presence of alternative cladoceran prey, either Moina macrocopa (Straus, 1820) or Daphnia similoides (Hudec, 1991). Larval removal rate decreased with increasing larval size and instar stage. The maximum consumption rate was by mosquitofish, followed by dragonfly naiads and copepods. The presence of either of the alternative prey significantly reduced larval consumption by all three predators, except in the D. similoides–mosquito larvae combination for naiads. Mosquitofish and copepods preferred early instars of the mosquito. Prey selectivity indices for early mosquito instars against D. similoides did not differ between mosquitofish and copepods, whereas naiads had significantly lower index values than the other two predators. Considering the negative impacts of mosquitofish on native assemblages, that is, its invasiveness and its lower selectivity for mosquito larvae, our results suggest that the feasibility of using copepods in large-scale control programs needs to be evaluated.

Abstract:
PURPOSE To identify prognostic variables that predict for improved biochemical and local control outcome in patients with localized prostatic cancer treated with neoadjuvant androgen deprivation (NAAD) and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 1989 and 1995, 213 patients with localized prostate cancer were treated with a 3-month course of NAAD that consisted of leuprolide acetate and flutamide before 3D-CRT. The purpose of NAAD in these patients was to reduce the preradiotherapy target volume so as to decrease the dose delivered to adjacent normal tissues and thereby minimize the risk of morbidity from high-dose radiotherapy. The median pretreatment prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level was 15.3 ng/mL (range, 1 to 560 ng/mL). The median 3D-CRT dose was 75.6 Gy (range, 64.8 to 81 Gy), and the median follow-up time was 3 years (range, 1 to 7 years). RESULTS The significant predictors for improved outcome as identified in a multivariate analysis included pretreatment PSA level < or = 10.0 ng/mL(P < .00), NAAD-induced preradiotherapy PSA nadir < or = 0.5 ng/mL (P < .001), and clinical stage < or = T2c (P < .04). The 5-year PSA relapse-free survival rates were 93%, 60%, and 40% for patients with pretreatment PSA levels < or = 10 ng/mL, 10 to 20 ng/mL, and greater than 20 ng/mL, respectively (P < .001). Patients with preradiotherapy nadir levels < or = 0.5 ng/mL after 3 months of NAAD experienced a 5-year PSA relapse-free survival rate of 74%, as compared with 40% for patients with higher nadir levels (P < .001). The incidence of a positive biopsy among 34 patients pretreated with androgen ablation was 12%, as compared with 39% for 117 patients treated with 3D-CRT alone who underwent a biopsy (P < .001). CONCLUSION For patients treated with NAAD and high-dose 3D-CRT, pretreatment PSA, preradiotherapy PSA nadir response, and clinical stage are important predictors of biochemical outcome. Patients with NAAD-induced PSA nadir levels greater than 0.5 ng/mL before radiotherapy are more likely to develop biochemical failure and may benefit from more aggressive therapies.

Abstract:
AbstractWe present in this paper the results of the Russian Academy of Sciences North Atlantic Atmospheric Downscaling (RAS-NAAD) project, which provides a 40-yr 3D hindcast of the North Atlantic (10°–80°N) atmosphere at 14-km spatial resolution with 50 levels in the vertical direction (up to 50 hPa), performed with a regional setting of the WRF-ARW 3.8.1 model for the period 1979–2018 and forced by ERA-Interim as a lateral boundary condition. The dataset provides a variety of surface and free-atmosphere parameters at sigma model levels and meets many demands of meteorologists, climate scientists, and oceanographers working in both research and operational domains. Three-dimensional model output at 3-hourly time resolution is freely available to the users. Our evaluation demonstrates a realistic representation of most characteristics in both datasets and also identifies biases mostly in the ice-covered regions. High-resolution and nonhydrostatic model settings in NAAD resolve mesoscale dynamics first of all in the subpolar latitudes. NAAD also provides a new view of the North Atlantic extratropical cyclone activity with a much larger number of cyclones as compared with most reanalyses. It also effectively captures highly localized mechanisms of atmospheric moisture transports. Applications of NAAD to ocean circulation and wave modeling are demonstrated.

Abstract:
Glutamine-dependent NAD+ synthetase is an essential enzyme and a validated drug target in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (mtuNadE). It catalyses the ATP-dependent formation of NAD+ from NaAD+ (nicotinic acid–adenine dinucleotide) at the synthetase active site and glutamine hydrolysis at the glutaminase active site. An ammonia tunnel 40 Å (1 Å=0.1 nm) long allows transfer of ammonia from one active site to the other. The enzyme displays stringent kinetic synergism; however, its regulatory mechanism is unclear. In the present paper, we report the structures of the inactive glutaminase C176A variant in an apo form and in three synthetase–ligand complexes with substrates (NaAD+/ATP), substrate analogue {NaAD+/AMP-CPP (adenosine 5′-[α,β-methylene]triphosphate)} and intermediate analogues (NaAD+/AMP/PPi), as well as the structure of wild-type mtuNadE in a product complex (NAD+/AMP/PPi/glutamate). This series of structures provides snapshots of the ammonia tunnel during the catalytic cycle supported also by kinetics and mutagenesis studies. Three major constriction sites are observed in the tunnel: (i) at the entrance near the glutaminase active site; (ii) in the middle of the tunnel; and (iii) at the end near the synthetase active site. Variation in the number and radius of the tunnel constrictions is apparent in the crystal structures and is related to ligand binding at the synthetase domain. These results provide new insight into the regulation of ammonia transport in the intermolecular tunnel of mtuNadE.

Abstract:
Enzymes possessing the nickel-pincer nucleotide (NPN) cofactor catalyze C2 racemization or epimerization reactions of α-hydroxyacid substrates. LarB initiates synthesis of the NPN cofactor from nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide (NaAD) by performing dual reactions: pyridinium ring C5 carboxylation and phosphoanhydride hydrolysis. Here, we show that LarB uses carbon dioxide, not bicarbonate, as the substrate for carboxylation and activates water for hydrolytic attack on the AMP-associated phosphate of C5-carboxylated-NaAD. Structural investigations show that LarB has an N-terminal domain of unique fold and a C-terminal domain homologous to aminoimidazole ribonucleotide carboxylase/mutase (PurE). Like PurE, LarB is octameric with four active sites located at subunit interfaces. The complex of LarB with NAD+, an analog of NaAD, reveals the formation of a covalent adduct between the active site Cys221 and C4 of NAD+, resulting in a boat-shaped dearomatized pyridine ring. The formation of such an intermediate with NaAD would enhance the reactivity of C5 to facilitate carboxylation. Glu180 is well positioned to abstract the C5 proton, restoring aromaticity as Cys221 is expelled. The structure of as-isolated LarB and its complexes with NAD+ and the product AMP identify additional residues potentially important for substrate binding and catalysis. In combination with these findings, the results from structure-guided mutagenesis studies lead us to propose enzymatic mechanisms for both the carboxylation and hydrolysis reactions of LarB that are distinct from that of PurE.

Abstract:
Background: The number of cochlear implant (CI) recipients who have usable acoustic hearing in at least one ear is continuing to grow. Many such CI users gain perceptual benefits from the simultaneous use of acoustic and electric hearing. In particular, it has been shown previously that use of an acoustic hearing aid (HA) with a CI can often improve speech understanding in noise. Purpose: To determine whether the application of frequency compression in an HA would provide perceptual benefits to CI recipients with usable acoustic hearing, either when used in combination with the CI or when the HA was used by itself. Research Design: A repeated-measures experimental design was used to evaluate the effects on speech perception of using a CI either alone or simultaneously with an HA that had frequency compression either enabled or disabled. Study Sample: Eight adult CI recipients who were successful users of acoustic hearing aids in their nonimplanted ears participated as subjects. Intervention: The speech perception of each subject was assessed in seven conditions. These required each subject to listen with (1) their own HA alone; (2) the Phonak Naida HA with frequency compression (SoundRecover) enabled; (3) the Naida with SoundRecover disabled; (4) their CI alone; (5) their CI and their own HA; (6) their CI and the Naida with SoundRecover enabled; and (7) their CI and the Naida with SoundRecover disabled. Test sessions were scheduled over a period of about 10 wk. During part of that time, the subjects were asked to use the Phonak Naida HA with their CIs in place of their own HAs. Data Collection and Analysis: The speech perception tests included measures of consonant identification from a closed set of 12 items presented in quiet, and measures of sentence understanding in babble noise. The speech materials were presented at an average level of 60 dB SPL from a loudspeaker. Results: Speech perception was better, on average, in all conditions that included use of the CI in comparison with any condition in which only an HA was used. For example, consonant recognition improved by approximately 50 percentage points, on average, between the HA-alone listening conditions and the CI-alone condition. There were no statistically significant score differences between conditions with SoundRecover enabled and disabled. There was a small but significant improvement in the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) required to understand 50% of the words in the sentences presented in noise when an HA was used simultaneously with the CI. Conclusions: Although each of these CI users readily accepted the Phonak Naida HA with SoundRecover frequency compression, no benefits related specifically to the use of SoundRecover were found in the particular tests of speech understanding applied in this study. The relatively high levels of perceptual performance attained by these subjects with use of a CI by itself are consistent with the finding that the addition of an HA provided little further benefit. However, the use of an HA with the CI did provide better performance than the CI alone for understanding sentences in noise.

Abstract:
Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2), a Ca2+-permeable cation channel implicated in postischemic neuronal cell death, leukocyte activation, and insulin secretion, is activated by intracellular ADP ribose (ADPR). In addition, the pyridine dinucleotides nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide (NAD), nicotinic acid–adenine-dinucleotide (NAAD), and NAAD-2′-phosphate (NAADP) have been shown to activate TRPM2, or to enhance its activation by ADPR, when dialyzed into cells. The precise subset of nucleotides that act directly on the TRPM2 protein, however, is unknown. Here, we use a heterologously expressed, affinity-purified–specific ADPR hydrolase to purify commercial preparations of pyridine dinucleotides from substantial contaminations by ADPR or ADPR-2′-phosphate (ADPRP). Direct application of purified NAD, NAAD, or NAADP to the cytosolic face of TRPM2 channels in inside-out patches demonstrated that none of them stimulates gating, or affects channel activation by ADPR, indicating that none of these dinucleotides directly binds to TRPM2. Instead, our experiments identify for the first time ADPRP as a true direct TRPM2 agonist of potential biological interest.

Abstract:
2019. gada 5. martā Eiropas Komisija pret rasismu un neiecietību (The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance, ECRI) publicēja Piekto ziņojumu par Latviju. Tajā, atsaucoties uz Tiesībsarga biroja un nevalstisko organizāciju sniegto informāciju, norādīts, ka naida kurināšanas upuri bieži vien neinformē policiju par notikušo, jo viņiem nav pārliecības par tiesībaizsardzības iestāžu vēlmi vai spēju efektīvi izmeklēt šos notikumus, tādēļ tiek rekomendēts Valsts policijai izveidot speciālu struktūrvienību darbam ar mazāk aizsargātajām sabiedrības grupām. Iepriekšējā ziņojumā, kas tika publicēts 2012. gada 21. februārī, ECRI norādīja, ka par šāda veida noziegumiem piespriestie sodi (ar dažiem izņēmumiem, kad tika piemēroti sodi, kas saistīti ar brīvības atņemšanu) Latvijā ir pārāk saudzīgi. Rakstā tiek skaidrots, kā šajā jomā mainījusies situācija pēc ECRI Ceturtā ziņojuma publicēšanas. The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) on 5 March 2019 published Report on Latvia (fifth monitoring cycle). Non-governmental organisations, minority representatives and Ombudsman of the Republic of Latvia indicated to ECRI that victims of hate speech do not often report incidents to the police due to lack of trust in the willingness or ability of the law enforcement agencies to investigate these cases effectively. ECRI recommends, as a matter of priority, that the authorities establish a unit within the State Police tasked with reaching out to vulnerable groups in order to increase trust in the police and address the problem of under-reporting of hate crimes. In 2012, the ECRI pointed out that penalties for racist violence (with a few exceptions, the imposition of custodial penalties) in Latvia are too lenient. Therefore, the author offers his vision of the actual situation and how things have changed since the fourth ECRI Report on Latvia.
