The World Health Organization has declared novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a global public health emergency. Although respiratory symptoms predominate in COVID-19, thrombosis can occur in patients with COVID-19. This paper reports a case of an 82-year-old female with a prior medical history of hypertension, diabetes presenting with fever and cough, and was diagnosed with COVID-19. The patient subsequently developed progressively worsening of abdominal distention, tenderness, and underwent emergent laparotomy. She was found to have a gangrenous colon. This case adds to the limited literature regarding the extrapulmonary complications of COVID-19. (Korean J Gastroenterol 2020;76:164-166)

Textile effluents are toxic and carcinogenic materials that exist in the aquatic environment. In this study, the degradation efficiency of commercially available scarlet red dye investigated on TSA-SS Electro Fenton process (EFP) was reported. It is of great interest in the field of environmental engineering to remove dyes from aquatic environment. The influence of operating parameters such as pH (2-9), current density ($0.1-0.5mA/cm^2$), concentration of dye (0.1-0.5 g/L), $H_2O_2$ (0.1-0.5 g/L) concentration and $Fe^{2+}$ concentration (0.01-0.03 g/L) were analyzed by batch system. The optimum degradation conditions were determined as pH-3, current density-$0.4mA/cm^2$, concentration of dye-0.4 g/L, $H_2O_2$ concentration-0.5 g/L and $Fe^{2+}$ concentration-0.025 g/L. These results indicated that the degradation efficiency of scarlet red dye by EFP depends on solution pH and Fenton reagent concentration and a low pH value was favorable for the dye degradation. It has been demonstrated that more than 94% dye removal was obtained at 50 min. Electro Fenton process was also investigated by cyclic voltammetry technologies.
Rapid injuries of high temperature in plants
Gurpreet Kaur Goraya,Balraj Kaur,Bavita Asthir,Shashi Bala,Gurpreet Kaur Goraya,Muhammad Farooq 한국식물학회 2017 Journal of Plant Biology Vol.60 No.4
Global climate changes particularly high temperature is predicted to have a general negative effect on plant growth and development, that might lead to catastrophic loss of crop productivity. High temperature has a wide range of effect on plant in terms of plant physiological, biochemical processes such as photosynthesis, respiration water relations, and gene regulatory pathways. The injury inflicted on plant tissues under such extremes weakens the cell membrane, which leads to the production of reactive oxygen species that attacks major sites i.e photosynthetic apparatus, the photosystems, mainly photosystem II (PSII) and the respiratory pathways. To cope with rising temperature conditions, plants possess a number of adaptive, avoidance, or acclimation mechanisms. In addition to major tolerance mechanisms, plants also employ ion transporters, proteins, osmoprotectants, antioxidants and many other factors involved in signaling cascades and transcriptional control that are activated to offset stress-induced biochemical and physiological alterations. This article reviews the recent findings on high temperature induced injuries and responses at the cellular, organellar and whole plant levels.

Achalasia Is Associated With eNOS4a4a, iNOS22GA, and nNOS29TT Genotypes: A Case-control Study

Background/Aims: Achalasia is known to result from degeneration of inhibitory neurons, which are mostly nitrinergic. Characteristic features of achalasia include incomplete lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxation and esophageal aperistalsis. Nitric oxide (NO), produced by NO synthase (NOS), plays an important role in peristalsis and LES relaxation. Therefore, we evaluated genetic polymorphisms of NOS gene isoforms (endothelial NOS [eNOS], inducible NOS [iNOS], and neuronal NOS [nNOS]) in patients with achalasia and healthy subjects (HS). Methods: Consecutive patients with achalasia (diagnosed using esophageal manometry) and HS were genotyped for 27-base pair (bp) eNOS variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR), iNOS22G/A (rs1060826), nNOS C/T (rs2682826) polymorphisms by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), respectively. Results: Among 183 patients (118 [64.5%] male, age 39.5 ± 13.0 years) with achalasia and 366 HS (254 [69.4%] male, age 40.8 ± 11.0 years), eNOS4a4a genotype of 27-bp VNTR was more common among achalasia than HS (20 [10.9%] vs 13 [3.6%]; P < 0.001; OR, 3.72; 95% CI, 1.8-7.7). Patients with achalasia had iNOS22GA genotypes more often than HS (95 [51.9%] vs 93 [25.4%]; P < 0.001; OR, 3.0; 95% CI, 2.1-4.4). Frequency of genotypes GA + AA was higher in patients than HS (97 [53%] vs 107 [29.2%]; P < 0.001; OR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.8-3.9). Also, nNOS29TT variant genotype in rs2682826 was more com - mon among patients compared to HS (14 [7.7%] vs 6 [1.6%]; P < 0.001; OR, 5.91; 95% CI, 2.2-15.8). Conclusions: Achalasia is associated with eNOS4a4a, iNOS22GA, and nNOS29TT genotypes. This may suggest that polymorphisms of eNOS, iNOS, and nNOS genes are risk factors for achalasia.

Comparative Evaluation of Infiltration Models
Alireza Sepah Vand,Parveen Sihag,Balraj Singh,Mehran Zand 대한토목학회 2018 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.22 No.10
Infiltration models are very helpful in designing and evaluating surface irrigation systems. The main purpose of this study is to compare infiltration models which are used to evaluate infiltration rates of Davood Rashid, Kelat and Honam in Iran. Field infiltration tests were carried out at sixteen different locations comprising of 155 observations by use of double ring infiltrometer. The potential of four conventional infiltration models (Kostiakov, Modified Kostiakov, Novel and Philip’s models) were evaluated by least–square fitting to observed infiltration data. Three statistical comparison criteria including coefficient of correlation (C.C), coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE) were used to determine the best performing infiltration models. The novel infiltration model suggests improved performance out of other three models. Further a Multi-linear Regression (MLR) equation has been developed using field infiltration data and compare with Support Vector Machine and Gaussian Process based regression with two kernels (Pearson VII and radial basis) modeling. Results suggest that Pearson VII based SVM works well than other modeling approaches in estimating the infiltration rate of soils. Sensitivity analysis concludes that the parameter, time, plays the most significant role in the estimation of infiltration rate. Comparison of results suggests that there is no significant difference between conventional and soft-computing based infiltration models.

This research article constitutes an effi cient way to extract the minimum fuel cost for the economic dispatch problem considering multiple fuel options along with valve point eff ects. In general one convex cost function for one generator is assumed. The piecewise quadratic cost function is represented by selecting the convex cost function more than one for a generator. A new approach referred as Power Search Algorithm (PSA) based on reverse search strategy is suggested along with various constraints in ED. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated on a ten unit multi-fuel system for various power demands with diff erent fuel input options. The outcomes acquired from the simulation are of good quality and furthermore it reveals that the proposed algorithm performs superior than the various algorithms discussed.
Genotype-Phenotype correlation of SMN locus genes in spinal muscular atrophy patients from India
Akanchha Kesari,M Mohammed Idris,Giri Raj Chandak,Balraj Mittal 생화학분자생물학회 2005 Experimental and molecular medicine Vol.37 No.3
Spinal muscular atrophy has been classified into four groups based on the age of onset and clinical severity of the disease. Homozygous deletion in SMN1 gene causes the disease but the clinical severity may be modified by copy number of homologous gene SMN2 as wel as the extent of deletion at SMN locus. In the view of scarcity of genotype and phenotype corela-tion data from India, this study has been under-taken to determine that corelation in SMA pa-SMN and NAIP genes and two polymorphic markers C212 and C272 located in this region. Two to four aleles of the markers C212 and C272 were observed in normal indivi-duals. However, majority of Type I patients show-ed only one alele from both markers whereas in Type II and II patients, 2-3 alleles were observed. The SMN2 copy number in our type II patients showed that patients cary 3-5 copies of SMN2 gene. Our results sugest that extent of deletions encompassing H4F5, SMN1, NAIP and copy num-ber of SMN2 gene can modify the SMA pheno-type, thus acounting for the diferent clinical subtypes of the disease.
