Introduction:Mongolia's health ministry prioritizes control of Sexually Transmitted Infections,including syphilis screening and treatment in antenatal care(ANC).Methods:Adult syphilis prevalence trends were fitted using the Spectrum-STI estimation tool,using data from ANC surveys and routine screening over *** were combined with programmatic data to estimate numbers of treated and untreated pregnant women with syphilis and associated incidence congenital syphilis(CS)and CS-attributable adverse birth outcomes(ABO),which we compared with CS case ***:Syphilis prevalence in pregnant women was estimated at 1.7%in 2000 and 3.0%in *** estimated 652 CS cases,of which 410 ABO,in *** larger,annually increasing numbers of CS cases and ABO were estimated to have been prevented:1654 cases,of which 789 ABO in 2016thanks to increasing coverages of ANC(99%in 2016),ANC-based screening(97%in 2016)and treatment of women diagnosed(81%in 2016).The 42 CS cases reported nationally over 2016(liveborn infants only)represented 27%of liveborn infants with clinical CS,but only 7%of estimated CS cases among women found syphilis-infected in ANC,and 6%of all estimated CS cases including those born to women with undiagnosed ***/Conclusion:Mongolia's ANC-based syphilis screening program is reducing CS,but maternal prevalence remains *** eliminate CS(target:<50 cases per 100,000 live births),Mongolia should strengthen ANC services,limiting losses during referral for treatment,and under-diagnosis of CS including still-births and neonatal deaths,and expand syphilis screening and prevention programs.

Mitochondria utilize iron (Fe), but the proteins involved in mitochondrial Fe regulation are not characterized in plants. We cloned and characterized a mitochondrial iron-regulated (MIR) gene in rice involved in Fe homeostasis. MIR, when expressed in tobacco BY-2 cells, was localized to the mitochondria. MIR transcripts were greatly increased in response to Fe deficiency in roots and shoot tissue. MIR is not homologous to any known protein, as homologs were not found in the rice or Arabidopsis genome databases, or in the EST database for other organisms. Growth in the MIR T-DNA knockout rice mutant (mir) was significantly impaired compared to wild-type (WT) plants when grown under Fe-deficient or -sufficient conditions. Furthermore, mir plants accumulated more than twice the amount of Fe in shoot and root tissue compared to WT plants when grown under either Fe-sufficient or -deficient conditions. Despite the high accumulation of Fe in roots and shoots, mir plants triggered the expression of Fe-deficiency-inducible genes, indicating that mir may not be able to utilize Fe for physiological functions. These results clearly suggest that MIR is a rice-specific mitochondrial protein, recently evolved, and plays a significant role in Fe homeostasis.
