Time-resolved SANS reveals pore-forming peptides cause rapid lipid reorganization

Cells depend on proper lipid transport and their precise distribution for vital cellular function. Disruption of such lipid organization can be initiated by external agents to cause cell death. Here, we investigate two antimicrobial pore-forming peptides, alamethicin and melittin, and their influence on lipid intervesicular exchange and transverse lipid diffusion (i.e. flip-flop) in model lipid vesicles. Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and a strategic contrast matching scheme show the mixing of two isotopically distinct dimyristoylphosphocholine (DMPC) vesicle populations is promoted upon the addition of high (1/40) and low (1/150, 1/1000) peptide-to-lipid (P/L) molar ratios. Parsing out the individual exchange and flip-flop rate constants revealed that alamethicin increases both DMPC flip-flop and exchange by ≈2-fold when compared to methanol alone (the carrier solvent of the peptides). On the other hand, melittin affected DMPC flip-flop by a factor of 1 to 4 depending on the concentration, but had little effect on inter-vesicle lipid exchange at low P/L ratios. Thermodynamic parameters measured at high protein concentrations (P/L = 1/40) yielded remarkable similarity in the values obtained for both peptides, indicating likeness in their mechanism of action on lipid motion despite differences in their proposed oligomeric pore structures. The entropic contributions to the free energy of activation became favorable upon peptide addition, while the enthalpy of activation remained the major barrier to lipid exchange and flip-flop.

Spectroscopy of 13B via the 13C(t,3He) reaction at 115 AMeV

Gamow-Teller and dipole transitions to final states in 13B were studied via the 13C(t,3He) reaction at Et = 115 AMeV. Besides the strong Gamow-Teller transition to the 13B ground state, a weaker Gamow-Teller transition to a state at 3.6 MeV was found. This state was assigned a spin-parity of 3/2- by comparison with shell-model calculations using the WBP and WBT interactions which were modified to allow for mixing between nhw and (n+2)hw configurations. This assignment agrees with a recent result from a lifetime measurement of excited states in 13B. The shell-model calculations also explained the relatively large spectroscopic strength measured for a low-lying 1/2+ state at 4.83 MeV in 13B. The cross sections for dipole transitions up to Ex(13B)= 20 MeV excited via the 13C(t,3He) reaction were also compared with the shell-model calculations. The theoretical cross sections exceeded the data by a factor of about 1.8, which might indicate that the dipole excitations are "quenched". Uncertainties in the reaction calculations complicate that interpretation.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figure

Profile of Pregnant Women who Underwent Cesarean Section and their Perinatal Outcome at a Tertiary Referral Hospital: Profil Ibu Hamil dengan Indikasi Operasi Caesar dan Luaran Perinatal di Rumah Sakit Rujukan Tersier

Abstract Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of referral system, in regard to pregnant women with indication of C-section, and to learn the patients’ profile and their baby’s perinatal outcome.Methods: The research uses a retrospective descriptive method utilizing patient medical records with history of C-section at RSCM from January 2016 to December 2019. The target population is all pregnant women who were referred and performed cesarean section to at the hospital.Results: The most indications of C-section were premature membrane ruptures (16.1%), fetal distress (14.5%) and previous C-section (14.1%). There were 1585 cases (41.9%) coming without referral, 779 cases (20.6%) were bookcase, and 806 (21.3%) non-bookcase without referral. The main reasons for referral were absence of NICU facilities (27.31%), premature membranes rupture (20.81%), and eclampsia/preeclampsia/HELLP syndrome (15.40%). Most babies are born with normal weight (2500-3999 grams) as many as 45.1% and 54.9% are groups of babies with abnormal weight. Most babies have an APGAR score 5 minute of 7-10 (83.6%). As many as 47.8% rooming in and infants requiring perinatological care in both SCN and NICU are 52.1%.Conclusion: The study found that the effectiveness of RSCM tiered referral system still has much room for improvements. The study also found gap between number of referred cases and the cases eventually underwent for C-section with the same indication. The screening can be done better for an indication of the origin of the reference whether it is appropriate to do the reference or not.Keywords: caesarean section, perinatal outcome, pregnant women, referral system. Abstrak Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui efektivitas sistem rujukan pada ibu hamil dengan indikasi seksio sesarea, serta mengetahui profil pasien dan hasil perinatal bayinya.Metode: Studi ini menggunakan metode deskriptif retrospektif dengan memanfaatkan rekam medis pasien riwayat seksio sesarea di RSCM dari Januari 2016 sampai Desember 2019. Populasi sasaran adalah semua ibu hamil yang dirujuk dan dilakukan seksio sesarea di RSCM.Hasil: Indikasi seksio sesarea terbanyak adalah ketuban pecah dini (16,1%), gawat janin (14,5%), dan riwayat seksio sesarea sebelumnya (14,1%). Ada 1.585 kasus (41,9%) yang datang tanpa rujukan, 779 (20,6%) bookcase, dan 806 (21,3%) non-bookcase tanpa rujukan. Alasan utama rujukan adalah tidak adanya fasilitas NICU (27,31%), ketuban pecah dini (20,81%), dan eklampsia/preeklamsia/sindrom HELLP (15,40%). Sebagian besar bayi lahir dengan berat badan normal (2500-3999 gram) sebanyak 45,1% dan 54,9% merupakan kelompok bayi dengan berat badan tidak normal. Sebagian besar bayi memiliki skor APGAR 5 menit 7-10 (83,6%). Sebanyak 47,8% rawat inap dan bayi yang membutuhkan perawatan perinatologi baik di SCN maupun NICU sebanyak 52,1%. Kesimpulan: Studi ini menemukan bahwa efektivitas sistem rujukan berjenjang RSCM masih memiliki banyak ruang untuk perbaikan. Studi ini juga menemukan kesenjangan antara jumlah kasus yang dirujuk dan kasus yang akhirnya menjalani seksio sesarea dengan indikasi yang sama. Penapisan dapat dilakukan lebih baik untuk indikasi asal rujukan apakah layak dilakukan rujukan atau tidak.Kata kunci: ibu hamil, luaran perinatal, seksio sesarea, sistem rujuka

The 150^{150}Nd(3^3He,tt) and 150^{150}Sm(tt,3^3He) reactions with applications to ββ\beta\beta decay of 150^{150}Nd

The $^{150}$Nd($^3$He,$t$) reaction at 140 MeV/u and $^{150}$Sm($t$,$^3$He) reaction at 115 MeV/u were measured, populating excited states in $^{150}$Pm. The transitions studied populate intermediate states of importance for the (neutrinoless) $\beta\beta$ decay of $^{150}$Nd to $^{150}$Sm. Monopole and dipole contributions to the measured excitation-energy spectra were extracted by using multipole decomposition analyses. The experimental results were compared with theoretical calculations obtained within the framework of Quasiparticle Random-Phase Approximation (QRPA), which is one of the main methods employed for estimating the half-life of the neutrinoless $\beta\beta$ decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) of $^{150}$Nd. The present results thus provide useful information on the neutrino responses for evaluating the $0\nu\beta\beta$ and $2\nu\beta\beta$ matrix elements. The $2\nu\beta\beta$ matrix element calculated from the Gamow-Teller transitions through the lowest $1^{+}$ state in the intermediate nucleus is maximally about half of that deduced from the half-life measured in $2\nu\beta\beta$ direct counting experiments and at least several transitions through $1^{+}$ intermediate states in $^{150}$Pm are required to explain the $2\nu\beta\beta$ half-life. Because Gamow-Teller transitions in the $^{150}$Sm($t$,$^3$He) experiment are strongly Pauli-blocked, the extraction of Gamow-Teller strengths was complicated by the excitation of the $2\hbar\omega$, $\Delta L=0$, $\Delta S=1$ isovector spin-flip giant monopole resonance (IVSGMR). However, the near absence of Gamow-Teller transition strength made it possible to cleanly identify this resonance, and the strength observed is consistent with the full exhaustion of the non-energy-weighted sum rule for the IVSGMR.Comment: 18 pages, 13 figures, 2 table
