All patients had complete microsurgical excisions without adjuvant therapy with no recurrence with a mean follow-up of 5.1 ± 1.4 years. Tumours were attached to the filum terminale. Electron microscopic images demonstrated abundant neurosecretory granules with no evidence of catecholamine production. A total of 620 articles were screened and 65 papers (including ours) combining 121 patients (mean age 48.8 and MF 7150) were included. The mean follow-up was 3.48 ± 0.46 (range 0.15-23 years). Back pain was the most common symptom (94%). Cure following surgery was achieved in 93% of the patients whilst 7% had recurrence. Total resection likely results in cure without the need for adjuvant therapy or prolonged follow-up. However, in certain situations, the length of follow-up should be determined by the treating surgeon.We consider the problem of the minimum number of phylogenetic trees it would take to display all splits in a given set, a problem related to k-compatibility. A set of trees that displays every single possible split is termed a universal tree set. In this note, we find the universal incompatibility U(n), the minimal size of a universal tree set for n taxa. By normalising incompatibility using U(n), one can then compare incompatibility of split systems across different numbers of taxa. We demonstrate this application by comparing two SplitsTree networks derived from archaeal genomes, with different numbers of taxa.In this paper, three organic semiconductors such as 9-[(5-nitropyridin-2-aminoethyl)iminiomethyl]-anthracene (a), N'-((pyren-4-yl)methylene)isonicotinohydrazide (b), and novel organic semiconductor N-(2-((pyren-4-yl)methyleneamino)ethyl)-5-nitropyridin-2-amine (c) were prepared. Their structures were assessed using NMR and elemental analysis techniques. While compound (a) and compound (c) have the same wing unit ([(5-nitropyridin-2-aminoethyl) iminiomethyl]), compounds (b) and (c) have the same core unit (5-nitropyridin-2-amine). Based on TD-DFT and Marcus theories, we have explored the effects of molecular structure on the opto-electronic properties for OLED applications. Our results show that wing units of molecules impact more on the opto-electronics properties than on core units. The compounds (a) and (c) with the same wing unit have exhibited quite similar behaviors in terms of both structural and opto-electronic parameters. However, a similar situation has not been observed for compounds (b) and (c) with the same core unit. In conclusion, our results indicate that compounds (a) and (c) exhibit obvious advantages for OLEDs in terms of calculated opto-electronic and charge transport properties such as better absorption and emission parameters, lower energy gaps and reorganisation energies and higher charge mobility.In this study, substance P, an antioxidant peptide of tachykinin, was identified using bioinformatics tools from the earlier established muscle transcriptome of a freshwater murrel Channa striatus and the peptide was named RM12. The antioxidant properties of RM12 were screened using various colorimetric assays. The toxicity of RM12 was experimented using fish erythrocytes, and it is observed that the maximum concentration (320 μM) of RM12 was found to have 15 or 20% of hemolytic activity; however, it was not significant with other tested concentrations (10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 μM). Further, the in vivo antioxidant properties of RM12 were experimented on zebrafish embryo, the intracellular ROS level was estimated by 5 mM H2O2 stress in the zebrafish embryo, and inhibition of apoptosis was evaluated. The antioxidant enzymes were extracted from the H2O2-stressed zebrafish embryo, and the intracellular ROS was eliminated due to RM12. Collectively, the experiment showed that the substance P from the freshwater murrel C. striatus possessed potent antioxidant properties; thus, it can further be focused to develop it as antioxidant molecule in aquac
