Indicadores de homosexualidad en el dibujo de la figura humana: comparación entre homosexuales y heterosexuales
Authors: Fernández Dávila Percy , Ávila Daniel
Published: September 2020

El estudio revisa los indicadores gráficos (IG) sobre homosexualidad en el Dibujo de la Figura Humana descritos en diversos textos sobre pruebas proyectivas. Participaron 36 hombres homosexuales y 30 hombres heterosexuales de clase media (18-50 años), quienes realizaron tres dibujos (hombre, mujer y sí mismo). Se analizaron los IG resultantes del estudio, la información de la literatura y lo que señalan un grupo de psicólogos sobre los IG que describen homosexualidad. Los resultados revelan que no existen mayores diferencias entre los IG de los dibujos de los hombres homosexuales y de los heterosexuales; sólo se encontraron tres indicadores característicos en los hombres homosexuales (Boca Arco de Cupido en la Figura Femenina, Ojos Grandes/Remarcados en la Figura Sí Mismo y Figura Semidesnuda en las figuras Femenina y Sí Mismo) y un indicador en los hombres heterosexuales (Ojos Vacíos en la Figura Masculina). Casi todos los IG que señala la literatura no resultan válidos para describir las homosexualidades y los clínicos manejan concepciones estereotipadas sobre la homosexualidad.

Authors: Merino Soto César , Wichern Dean W. , Rivas Karin
Published: September 2020

El artículo evalúa la estructura factorial bajo los efectos del método ipsativo de respuesta, estudiados en el nivel de las subescalas del Cuestionario de Valores Interpersonales de Gordon (SIV), y las relaciones entre ellas, en una muestra de adolescentes entre 15 y 17 años de ambos sexos y procedentes de un colegio privado y estatal, representativos de los niveles socioeconómicos medio y bajo. Aunque el SIV ha sido una herramienta extensamente utilizada, no se reportado previamente un análisis de su estructura factorial en muestras Latinoamericanas. Mediante el análisis de componentes principales y el análisis factorial con un enfoque confirmatorio, se han identificado relaciones bipolares entre Independencia y Benevolencia, y Soporte y Conformidad. Se obtuvo también la confirmación del modelo de valores interpersonales propuesto por L. V. Gordon. En el análisis se consideró un aspecto que artificialmente puede haber influido en el patrón de correlaciones entre los componentes, esto es el método ipsativo de las preguntas del SIV. Finalmente, se discute sobre las medidas ipsativas y sus consecuencias en la interpretación de sus resultados.
Análisis factorial confirmatorio de la Escala de Estilos de Crianza de Steinberg: validez preliminar de constructo
Authors: Merino Soto César , Arndt Stephan
Published: September 2020

Se estudió la validez de constructo y confiabilidad interna de la Escala de Estilos de Crianza de L. Steinberg que se administró a una muestra de 224 adolescentes entre 11 y 19 años de un colegio público en Lima. Mediante el análisis factorial confirmatorio de grupo múltiple, la estructura de tres subescalas (Compromiso, Autonomía Psicológica y Control Conductual/Supervisión) se mantuvo en general estable, aunque la agrupación teórica de los ítems tendió a estar influenciada por la distribución de los ítems. La confiabilidad alfa para las subescalas solo alcanzó niveles marginales de aceptación y se reconoció el probable impacto del error de medición aleatorio. Los resultados muestran que el instrumento utilizado es una herramienta potencial para la investigación, pero estos hallazgos son preliminares y se requieren estudios adicionales para evaluar la generalización del análisis efectuado.
Relaciones entre autoconcepto académico, atribuciones de éxito y fracaso, y rendimiento académico en escolares preadolescentes
Authors: Moreano Giovanna
Published: September 2020

La presente investigación busca identificar las relaciones que se tienden entre las variables mencionadas. 284 estudiantes de 5° y 6° grado de primaria conformaron la muestra. Para medir las variables se aplicó el Cuestionario de Autodescripción (SDQ-I) y la Escala de Atribuciones de Sydney (SAS). Asimismo, se recogieron los promedios finales de las áreas de matemáticas y comunicación integral como indicadores de rendimiento. Un análisis factorial exploratorio del SAS mostró cinco factores, tres de los cuales demostraban que los estudiantes no discriminaban entre esfuerzo y habilidad. Sobre el SDQ, los resultados confirmaron que los niños diferenciaban entre las diferentes dimensiones del autoconcepto. En general, los participantes mostraron un autoconcepto favorable en todas sus dimensiones, lo cual estaría relacionado con el marcado locus de control interno que mostraron. Asimismo, pudo apreciarse la tendencia notable a aceptar el éxito por causas internas y negar las posibilidades de fracaso.

No se observaron diferencias teóricamente relevantes en la procrastinación crónica según sexo. edad y nivel de instrucción. sin embargo. el estrato socio-económico indicó mayores niveles de procrastinacióncrónica en el sector más pobre.
Comportamiento antisocial durante la adolescencia: teoría, investigación y programas de prevención
Authors: Herrera Dora , Morales Córdova Hugo
Published: September 2020

La multicausalidad del comportamiento antisocial durante la adolescencia parece no sólo obedecer a la combinación de múltiples factores de riesgo ubicados en diferentes niveles del desarrollo humano, sino también a procesos históricos y culturales que afectan de manera diferenciada a varias generaciones de jóvenes desde su temprana infancia. Este artículo revisa las principales teorías explicativas del  comportamiento antisocial durante la adolescencia, enfatizando en la teoría neuropsicológica de la Taxonomía del Desarrollo de la Conducta Antisocial propuesta por Terrie E. Moffitt (1993, 1994, 1996, 2003). Asimismo, se mencionan algunos estudios realizados que confirman la validez transcultural del modelo teórico de Moffitt y sus contribuciones para el diseño de programas de prevención del delito entre población adolescente y juvenil en nuestro medio.

La organización y la participación comunitaria ocupan un lugar importante en el discurso como estrategias para la superación de las dificultades y se valoran positivamente, a pesar de la falta de experiencias positivas recientes y de un probable desgaste debido a la sobreutilización de estos recursos locales en la resolución de problemas colectivos.
Does the Quality of Source Notes Matter? An Exploratory Study of Source-based Academic Writing
Authors: Neumann Heike , Leu Sarah , McDonough Kim , Gil Leslie , Crawford Bonnie
Published: September 2020

Integrated writing tasks have increased in popularity in second language writing classrooms. Extensive research on these tasks has examined the challenges that students face when completing such tasks. One significant challenge is the transformation of source language use when students integrate source information into their own essays. However, little is known about the relationship between students’ source notes and the quality of the essays that they produce. This exploratory study examined this issue by investigating the relationship between characteristics of English for academic purposes (EAP) students’ notes (N = 24) and their essay scores. The students’ notes were coded in terms of how they appropriated information from the source texts using four categories: copied, copied with changes, copied with gaps, and paraphrased. A multiple linear regression revealed that essay scores were predicted by the degree to which the students transformed source language and avoided copying. The implications of these findings for second language (L2) writing pedagogy and assessment are discussed.

Emplasto sísmico?
Authors: Philipson Gabriel Salvi
Published: September 2020

A intenção é abordar o pensamento brasileiro e o pensamento do brasileiro a partir de uma consideração equívoca da sua forma literária e suas determinações técnicas e midiáticas em relação com o processo de constituição da prática filosófica, em um momento específico em que ambos os pensamentos coincidiram: o sistema uspiano de filosofia universitária. Para tanto, se conduz a análise de O fio da meada (1996), entrevista, conversa (fiada), aula e encenação entre Paulo Arantes e três “alunas”, a partir da reflexão sobre a relação entre mídias e corpos, entre os gêneros (literários, mas não só), e entre o texto e os dispositivos de escrita e de fala que indicam, na passagem da fala para a escrita por uma transcrição feita “graças a uma fantasia exata”, os modos de autoinstitucionalização que vigoram no campo filosófico e em sua relação com o teórico literário.

A poética indígena como resistência: por uma abertura na literatura brasileira contemporânea
Authors: Cernicchiaro Ana Carolina
Published: September 2020

Há 500 anos, os povos indígenas r(existem) em sua pluralidade. Contra a guerra unificadora do Estado, a abertura ao múltiplo. De um lado dessa guerra, impondo uma língua única, está a pátria e sua “língua paterna”; do outro, a língua materna dos povos plurais, língua-mátria, língua-terra, língua com a qual se tem uma relação de afeto, e não de comando; de pertencimento, e não de propriedade; de cuidado, e não de mercadoria. Não se trata, no entanto, apenas de preservar a língua materna, a resistência também se faz no devir-menor que ela realiza na língua maior. Um devir que desvia a língua paterna de seus propósitos estatais homogeneizadores, de sua violência excludente. A agência da literatura ameríndia, como uma rasgadura em nossa história cultural, coloca nosso etnocentrismo e antropocentrismo em questão, abertura de nosso mundo tão fechado em si mesmo para outros mundos.

Fronteiras e feridas na escrita de Carolina Maria de Jesus
Authors: Fernandes Mariana Patrício
Published: September 2020

O presente artigo pretende pensar como a obra da escritora Carolina Maria de Jesus pressiona a abertura de uma possibilidade de afirmação da noção de autonomia literária, na qual, paradoxalmente, vida e obra estão irremediavelmente associadas em sua dimensão estética e política em relação com a história e a cultura. A noção de autonomia que aqui se vislumbra resiste, portanto, constantemente ao risco de isolamento, alienação e solidão, atravessamentos que significariam o ponto final da escrita. Para tal, toma como ponto de partida os modos de produção de aberturas de espaço nos diários Quarto de despejo (1960), Casa de Alvenaria (1961) e Onde estaes felicidade (2014) que projetam uma cena literária que permite a (co)existência de elementos postos de fora do espaço da representação.

Study on Two-Phase Fluid-Solid Coupling Characteristics in Local-Saturated Zone of Subgrade Considering the Effect of Fine Particles Migration
Authors: Ding Yu , Zhang Jia-sheng , Jia Yu , Chen Xiao-bin , Wang Xuan , Meng Fei
Published: September 2020

The fluid seepage in local-saturated zone of subgrade promotes the migration of fine particles in the filler, resulting in the change of pore structure and morphology of the filler and the deformation of solid skeleton, which affects the fluid seepage characteristics. Repeatedly, the muddy interlayer, mud pumping and other diseases are finally formed. Based on the theory of two-phase seepage, the theory of porous media seepage, and the principle of effective stress in porous media, a two-phase fluid-solid coupling mathematical model in local-saturated zone of subgrade considering the effect of fine particles migration is established. The mathematical model is numerically calculated with the software COMSOL Multiphysics○R, the two-phase seepage characteristics and the deformation characteristics of the solid skeleton in local-saturated zone of the subgrade are studied. The research results show that due to the continuous erosion and migration of fine particles in local-saturated zone of the subgrade, the volume fraction of fine particles first increases then decreases and finally becomes stable with the increase of time. And the volume fraction of fine particles for the upper part of the subgrade is larger than that for the lower part of the subgrade. The porosity, the velocity of fluid, the velocity of fine particles, and the permeability show a trend of increasing first and then stabilizing with time; the pore water pressure has no significant changes with time. The vertical displacement increase first and then decrease slightly with the increase of time, and finally tend to be stable. For a filler with a larger initial volume fraction of fine particles, the maximum value of the volume fraction of fine particles caused by fluid seepage is larger, and the time required to reach the maximum value is shorter. It can be concluded that in actual engineering, the volume fraction of fine particles in the subgrade filler should be minimized on the premise that the filler gradation meets the requirements of the specification.

Sebaliknya, penambahan konsentrasi natrium silikat hingga 100 mM,  dapat meningkatkan laju korosi menjadi 0,101 mm/tahun.

The Effect of Sodium Silicate Concentration on the Corrosion Rate of Aluminum Alloy in Sodium Chloride 3.5%. Corrosion is a process of decreasing the quality of metals due to the reaction of metals with their environment. Seawater is one of the corrosive systems because of the high levels of chloride ions. Silicate ions with optimum concentrations can slow the rate of corrosion in metals, such as aluminum. This research examines the effect of silicate ions on the aluminum corrosion rate in a solution of sodium chloride 3.5%, tested by the potentiostat method and calculated by Tafel extrapolation. The effect of silicate ion concentration on the corrosion rate was observed in various concentrations of 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mM. The optimum concentration of sodium silicate in reducing the corrosion rate is 25 mM, in which the corrosion rate drops from 0.0118 to 0.0084 mm/year. Conversely, increasing the concentration of sodium silicate to 100 mM increased the corrosion rate to 0.101 mm/year.
Interestingness Improvement of Face Images by Learning Visual Saliency
Authors: Anh Dao Nam ,   Electric Power University 235 Hoang Quoc Viet Road, Hanoi, Vietnam
Published: September 2020

Connecting features of face images with the interestingness of a face may assist in a range of applications such as intelligent visual human-machine communication. To enable the connection, we use interestingness and image features in combination with machine learning techniques. In this paper, we use visual saliency of face images as learning features to classify the interestingness of the images. Applying multiple saliency detection techniques specifically to objects in the images allows us to create a database of saliency-based features. Consistent estimation of facial interestingness and using multiple saliency methods contribute to estimate, and exclusively, to modify the interestingness of the image. To investigate interestingness – one of the personal characteristics in a face image, a large benchmark face database is tested using our method. Taken together, the method may advance prospects for further research incorporating other personal characteristics and visual attention related to face images.

Based on the results of artificial samples generated in the minority class and through the label regulation of the neighbor samples of the majority class, the precision of the classification prediction for imbalanced learning has clearly been enhanced. This article presents a unified solution combining learning factors to improve the learning performance. The proposed method solves this imbalance through a feature selection incorporating the generation of artificial samples and label regulation. A probabilistic representation is used for all aspects of learning: class, sample, and feature. A Bayesian inference is applied to the learning model to interpret the imbalance occurring in the training data and to describe solutions for recovering the balance. We show that the generation of artificial samples is sample based approach and label regulation is class based approach. We discovered that feature selection achieves surprisingly good results when combined with a sample- or class-based solution.

Práticas de gestão de recursos humanos nas organizações sociais em Portugal: um estudo exploratório
Authors: Bernardino Susana , Freitas Santos J.
Published: September 2020

Os recursos humanos são apontados como um importante ativo para as organizações em geral, sendo particularmente relevante para as organizações sociais. Este estudo procede à recolha de dados primários, por questionário, junto dos responsáveis das organizações sociais em Portugal, com o objetivo de conhecer as suas práticas de gestão de recursos humanos. Um objetivo complementar do estudo consistiu em compreender se essas práticas variavam (ou não) em função do perfil da organização social e do seu responsável.A investigação quantitativa realizada indicou uma forte valorização das práticas de gestão de recursos humanos, com perfis distintos em função das organizações sociais. Assim, enquanto algumas organizações procuram valorizar a gestão de colaboradores remunerados, outras tendem a concentrar a sua atenção essencialmente na gestão de voluntários. A investigação revela ainda que a valorização de diferentes práticas de gestão de recursos humanos é condicionada pelas características do empreendedor social e do nível de concorrência do ambiente em que as organizações atuam.

Authors: Palupi Rizki , Lubis Fitri Nova , Lubis Raical Demino
Published: September 2020

This study aims to determine the effects of adding propionic acid in the poultry diets on the internal organs of broiler chickens. The livestock used were 180 broilers with Cobb strain. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 3 treatments and 6 replications.The treatments in this study consisted of: P0= commercial feed without propionic acid addition; P1= commercial feed with addition of 0.5%propionic acid; and P2= commercial feed with 0.75% propionic acid. The parameters observed included live weight, spleen percentage, gizzardpercentage, liver percentage, and small intestine length. The results showed that the addition of propionic acid in the broiler feed had a significant effect (P0.05) on the live weight and had no significant effect (P0.05) on the percentage of spleen, percentage of gizzard, percentage of liver, and small intestine length. The conclusion of this study was that the addition of propionic acid in poultry feed at a dose of 0.75% did not negatively affect the internal organs and the length of the small intestine of broiler chickens.

Introduction: Speed of movement refers to the max. speed of moves that an individual is able to perform, associated with the optimal activation of muscle fibers. It increases until the age of 15 in girls and 18 in boys, with the fastest rate 6–14 years of age. In boys, 2 periods of a particularly intense increase in speed are observed: 7–10 and 13–15 years of age.

The aim of the study was to assess the level of speed in girls and boys aged 9–10-years-old from school groups with an extended physical education program and those from regular groups.

Materials and methods: This study, performed every year 2003–2013, involved 470 children aged 9–10 years, finishing the 3rd year of the primary school. A 30 m run and long jump were used to test the speed of the children. The study method was based on the selected elements of the Denisiuk test.

Results: The tests showed that boys were faster than girls. Every year, they obtained better average score for the 30 m run and tests. The lowest difference between sexes was noted in 2013. We also demonstrated that almost in all years the candidates for cross-country skiers were faster than the students assigned to groups with no extra sports classes.

Conclusions: Our study confirmed higher speed in 9–10-year-old boys than in girls, especially in long jump tests. Children with higher fitness level were faster than their less active peers. The deterioration of speed test results in the subsequent years of the study is an unfavorable trend that requires further long-term research.

Spatial analysis was done using spatial autocorrelation Moran’s I, Gettis-OrdGi* and spatial scan statics to identify significant clusters of modern contraceptive utilization. The data were analyzed using a two level-mixed-effects logistic regression model to determine the individual and community level factors associated with modern contraceptive utilization.Result: In Ethiopia, prevalence of modern contraceptive utilization among young married women age group 15-24 years was 36.7 %. Spatial scan statistics identified primary clusters of modern contraceptive utilization were all zone of Amhara, Addis Ababa and Shewa. In other hand, Gettis-OrdGi* analysis indicated zone 1 of Afar region, Borena zone of Oromia region and all zone of Somalia regions were low prevalence spot region. In this study religion, respondent working status, partner occupation, number of living children, husband desire more children, region, community mas media exposure and community educational level were statically significant variables for modern contraceptive utilization among young married women.Conclusions: There is low prevalence of modern contraceptive utilization and it was varied across zone of Ethiopia. High and low prevalence spot area, most likely cluster, community and individual level factor associated with modern contraceptive utilization is identified which is important to prioritize family planning strategy. Therefore, exerting much effort on this area is supreme important as it has significant public health contributions.

Published: September 2020

Background: The relationship between high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and different cardiovascular events has been observed in several large community studies, and the results have been controversial. However, there is currently no cross-sectional or longitudinal follow-up study on hs-cTnT in the Chinese population.Methods: We analyzed the association of plasma hs-cTnT levels with major adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in 1325 subjects from a longitudinal follow-up community-based population in Beijing, China.Results: In the Cox proportional hazards models analysis, the risk of MACE increased with the increase of hs-cTnT levels (HR, 1.223, 95% CI, 1.054–1.418, P = 0.008). Increased hs-cTnT levels were associated with coronary events (HR, 1.391, 95% CI, 1.106–1.749, P = 0.005) in Model 4. Cox proportional risk regression model analysis revealed that increased hs-cTnT levels were associated with an increased risk of mortality (HR, 1.763, 95% CI, 1.224–2.540, P = 0.002), even after adjusting hs-CRP and NT-proBNP. The area under the ROC curve for predicting MACE was 0.559 (95% CI, 0.523–0.595, P = 0.001). The areas under the ROC curve for predicting coronary events and mortality were 0.629 (95% CI, 0.580–0.678, P < 0.001) and 0.644 (95% CI, 0.564–0.725, P < 0.001), respectively.Conclusions: Our findings in the Chinese cohort support that hs-cTnT is a risk factor for major adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.
The field meaning of wave function
Authors: Yuan Canlun Yuan
Published: September 2020

Although this paper is the inheritance and development of Copenhagen quantum mechanics theory, it is a brand-new theory, because although quantum mechanics has achieved great success, its physical significance still needs to be explored. In this paper, the concept of generalized field and generalized quantity is introduced. From the behavior of generalized field in potential well, the conclusion that generalized field exists with energy in the form of standing wave in potential well is obtained. In this paper, only one physical model is used: "the generalized field forms wave, which is wave function". With a basic assumption of mvλ=h , the Einstein de Broglie relation is derived, and the wave function has the meaning of generalized field. Every conclusion given in this paper has clear and obvious physical significance, which makes quantum mechanical problems simple and clear. At the same time, the new atom model is established, and the problems of electron transition, electron spin, electron emission and absorption are discussed.

Background: Oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) expands the inner volume of the spinal canal by indirect decompression. However, there were few studies to assess OLIF for LSS. The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes and safety after percutaneous delta endoscopic decompression (PED) and OLIF. Methods: Ninety-four patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) underwent PED or OLIF with percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (PPS) between January 2016 and December 2018 were retrospectively studied. Patients were assessed by estimated blood loss (EBL), operative time, hospital stay, cost, reoperation, complications, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Japanese Orthopaedic Association score (JOA) and Short Form-36 (SF-36). Results: Compared with OLIF group, the OLIF group was with longer operation time and hospital stay, more blood loss and more cost (p=0.001, 0.005, 0.001 and 0.001, respectively). Compared with preoperative data, VAS and ODI were significantly reduced and JOA and SF-36 increased significantly with the statistically significant difference (all p <0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative main outcomes except VAS (lumbar) and ODI between the two groups (all p >0.05). But patients in the PED group were with lower VAS (lumbar) and ODI (p=0.012 and 0.042, respectively). In addition, the PED group was with SF-36 physical-component summary score (p=0. 0.036). The PED group was with lower all complication rate (2.4% PED vs 9.8% OLIF), intra-operative complication rate (2.4% PED vs 3.9% OLIF) and post-operative complication rate (0.0% PED vs 5.9% OLIF), but the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.336, 0.517 and 0.402, respectively). And there was no statistical difference in and reoperation rate (2.4% PED vs 3.8% OLIF) (p= 0.715).Conclusions: PED and OLIF had satisfactory results for LSS. In general, PED was superior to OLIF in relieving patients with low back pain and improving function without any obvious shortcomings. Therefore, we recommend PED for LSS.Level of Evidence: 3

Published: September 2020

Background: Injuries on tendon-to-bone attachment (TBA) are common clinical dilemmas. Bone Morphogenetic Proteins-4 (BMP-4) has been found the potency in chondrogenesis. But there is rare studies focusing the influence of BMP-4 on the TBA healing. Thus, the objective of this study was to explore the effect of BMP-4 on the healing of TBA in murine model of rotator cuff tear.Methods: 120 mature C57BL/6 mice (12 weeks old) were randomly divided into BMP-4 group, noggin (an inhibitor of all BMP activities) group and control group after being established an injury model of supraspinatus tendon insertion. At week 2 and 4 after surgery, the supraspinatus tendon- humerus complex (SSTHC) were harvested for microradiographic, histologic, immunofluorescent and biomechanical evaluations.Results: Radiographic data showed that BMP-4 was able to improve the quality of subchondral bone, manifested as higher BV/TV, Tb.N, TB.Th, and lower Tb.Sp. Histologically, the BMP-4 group at week-2 and -4 showed better BTA healing interface, characterized by better organizational integration and remodeling, thicker fibrocartilage layer and more fibrocartilage cells. Immunoflorescence evaluation demonstrated the number of SOX 9 positive cells in the BMP-4 group was significantly more than that in the control or noggin group at postoperative weeks 2 and 4 (p<0.05 for all). Mechanical testing results demonstrated the failure load and stiffness in the BMP-4 group were significantly higher (p<0.05 for both), while in the noggin group were lower (p<0.05 for both), compared to the control group at postoperative weeks 4.Conclusion: BMP-4 might enhance the TBA healing by promoting the regeneration of fibrocartilaginous enthesis and mineralization, while noggin inhibited this process.Clinical Relevance: BMP-4 may be a potential therapy to augment TBA healing, and finally lead to more rapid rehabilitation and reduce risk of recurrent repair.
Targeting BACH2-FOS signaling overcomes chemoresistance via stromal microenvironment alterations in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Published: September 2020

Background

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is an aggressive hematological cancer that mainly affects children. Relapse and chemoresistance result in treatment failure, underlining the need for improved therapies. BTB and CNC homology 2 (BACH2) is a lymphoid-specific transcription repressor recognized as a tumor suppressor in lymphomas, but little is known about the function and regulatory network of BACH2 in pediatric ALL (p-ALL).
Methods

We analyzed the clinical relevance of BACH2 in nearly 450 published p-ALL microarray data. The mRNA and protein levels of BACH2 were validated in an independent cohort of p-ALL samples. The roles of BACH2 in leukemogenesis were examined using cell growth and proliferation assays, cell cycle and BrdU assays, cell apoptosis and cell adhesion assays as well as in vivo mouse models. Multiplexed flow cytometric assay was utilized to detect the bone marrow environmental alterations. Luciferase activity assay and CUT&Tag sequencing were applied to determine the downstream target of BACH2. The therapeutic effects of chemicals were evaluated in precursor B (pre-B) ALL cells, primary p-ALL cells and in vivo pre-B ALL-driven leukemia xenografts.
Results

We found aberrant BACH2 expression at newly diagnosis not only facilitated risk stratification of p-ALL but also served as a sensitive predictor for early treatment response and clinical outcome. Silencing BACH2 in pre-B ALL cells increased cell proliferation and accelerated cell cycle progression. BACH2 blockade also promoted cell adhesion to bone marrow stromal cells and conferred chemo-resistant properties to leukemia cells by altering stromal microenvironment. Strikingly, we identified FOS, a transcriptional activator competing with BACH2, as a novel downstream target repressed by BACH2. Blocking FOS by chemical compounds enhanced the effect of cytarabine treatment in both primary p-ALL cells and pre-B ALL-driven leukemia xenografts and prolonged survival of tumor-bearing mice.
Conclusions

Our results highlight an interconnected network of BACH2-FOS, disruption of which could render current ALL chemotherapies more effective and offer a promising therapeutic strategy to overcome chemoresistance in p-ALL.

Background: Poplar (Populus) is a genus of globally important plantation trees used widely in industrial and agricultural production. However, poplar is easily damaged by Micromelalopha troglodyta and Hyphantria cunea, resulting in a decline in poplar quality. Due to their strong insect resistance, Bt toxin-encoded Cry genes have been widely adopted in poplar breeding; however, potential adverse effects of Cry1Ah1-modified poplars on the ecological environment have raised concerns. Results: In this study, we comprehensively analyzed the structural and functional composition of the rhizosphere microbiome in field-grown transgenic Bt poplar. Conclusions: Our analysis of soil chemistry patterns revealed that soil alkaline nitrogen, soil available phosphorus, and microbial biomass nitrogen and phosphorus levels were improved, whereas microbial biomass carbon declined in Cry1Ah1-modified poplar rhizosphere samples. We applied metagenomic sequencing of Non-Transgenic (NT) and Cry1Ah1-modified poplar rhizosphere samples collected from a natural field; the predominant taxa included Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Actinobacteria. We also identified microbial functional traits involved in membrane transport, amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and replication and repair in NT and Cry1Ah1-modified poplars. Together, these results demonstrate that the NT and Cry1Ah1-modified poplar rhizosphere microbiomes had similar diversity and structure. These differences in relative abundance were observed in a few genera but did not affect the primary genera or soil.
