PurposePurpose Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several autoimmune disorders and used in adoptive cell transfer therapies. Neither have been explored in patients with autoimmune encephalitis where treated patient outcomes remain suboptimal with frequent relapses. Here, to identify new treatment strategies for autoimmune encephalitis, we sought to evaluate the proportion of circulating Tregs and Treg subpopulations in peripheral blood of patients with N-methyl-ᴅ-aspartate receptor-antibody encephalitis (NMDAR-Ab-E) and compared this with healthy controls.MethodsWe compared the phenotype of peripheral blood Tregs in four adult NMDAR-Ab-E patients and four age- and sex-matched healthy controls using an 11-color flow cytometry assay panel for characterization of Tregs (CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3+) cells into naïve (chemokine receptor [CCR] 7+ CD45RA+), central memory (CCR7+ CD45RA-), and effector memory (CCR7- CD45RA-) cells. We also examined and compared the expression of the CCR6 by circulating Tregs and the respective Treg subpopulations between the study groups.ResultsThe proportion of circulating Tregs was similar between patients with NMDAR-Ab-E and healthy controls but the proportion of naïve Tregs was lower in NMDAR-Ab-E patients (p = 0.0026). Additionally, the frequency of circulating effector memory Tregs was higher, and the proportion of circulating effector memory Tregs expressing CCR6 was lower, in NMDAR-Ab-E patients compared with healthy controls (p = 0.0026).ConclusionAltered Treg homeostasis may be a feature of patients with NMDAR-Ab-E. Future studies with larger samples are warranted to validate these findings.
The Possibility of Liberation of Female Subalterns in Bapsi Sidhwa’s Cracking India
Authors:   The Women’s Studies Center, Hong Hyun-Ae
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this paper is to examine the possibility of liberation of female subalterns in Bapsi Sidhwa’s Cracking India, based on Spivak's article, “Can Subaltern Speak?”. What Spivak is trying to argue is that the female subaltern has lost her voice in another language system that can speak beyond the existing language system of the ruling class. They cannot speak unless the subaltern is defined as a dominated group and possesses a language system of power. Subalterns cannot escape the regime itself, but nevertheless, they can create cracks and change the system by constantly resisting it. The female characters in Cracking India are victims of the colonialist ideology that has been denigrated because of their ethnicity and religion, and at the same time they are victims of the patriarchal ideology. I intend to pay a special attention to the voice of Ayha, a woman who is constrained by the ruling system and the target of oppression due to the political and religious divisions in India. Ayha is in a state of double bondage due to the tragic social environment of religious rifts and the authority of the patriarchal ideology. Nevertheless, Indian women who Lenny sees do not remain victims like Ayha and give in to men. Typically, Lenny's mother, Seti, is portrayed as a woman who has the power to oppose the power of men. Breaking away from the typical female role of the patriarchal ideology, she does not remain silent to help women in need, and tries to change, showing an independent female image to help women in need. In conclusion, through Cracking India, it can be seen that female subalterns are in a state of double bondage due to the tragic social environment of religious rift and patriarchal ideology, but the desire to recognize the self and the possibility of their liberation through the process of evolution goes on
Discourse on Women in the MAEILSHINBO in the 1910s and the Formulation of Colonial Women
Authors:   The Women’s Studies Center, Kim Kyungnam
Published: January 2023

In order to systematize the changes in the women's movement and women's discourse during the Japanese colonial period, this study aimed to investigate and analyze the characteristics of women's discourse data in the MAEILSHINBO in the 1910s. This newspaper played a role in promoting colonial policies to the extent that it was recognized as the official newspaper of the Japanese colonial government during the Japanese colonial period, and it also shows colonial regression in women's discourse. In this study, data that can confirm women's discourse was investigated for editorials, editorials, articles, and columns of this newspaper, and based on this, the content of the discourse was classified by field, and the content was analyzed accordingly. As a result, it was discovered that there were certain characteristics in the material of discourse on women appearing in the MAEILSHINBO in the 1910s. First, data related to women's issues have been continuously published in this newspaper since modern times. However, most of the data from the 1910s were expressed in terms of ‘BUIN(wife)’ or ‘YEOJA(woman)’, and the term ‘YEOJA’was used very limitedly. Second, discourses such as ‘women's labor’ and ‘BUEOP(side work)’ appear most frequently in the content or distribution of discourses on women. In particular, by guarding against ‘women who do not work’ and ‘women indulged in luxury and vanity’, the logic that these women are the cause of poverty is often developed, which is a logic that regards women as objects of colonial assimilation. Third, the issue of women's education also reflects the retirement of the modern view of women. The primary goal of education was to ‘cultivate innocent people’, and education for women also aims to make compliant women. Fourth, it can be confirmed that the women's discourse in this newspaper aimed to formulate colonial women who combined nationalism based on the traditional view of women is emphasizing. As such, the disappearance of women's discourse under the colonial rule in the 1910s shows a major change in the newspaper media reflecting the position of Koreans after the cultural movement in the 1920s. Therefore, this study is expected to contribute to some extent in objectifying the changing aspects of women's discourse during the Japanese colonial period.

Authors: Johnson C.W. , Olatinwo R.O. , Hwang J. , Brownie C.
Published: January 2023

Laurel wilt is a lethal disease of American Lauraceae caused by Harringtonia lauricola. Propiconazole is a systemic fungicide which arrests fungal growth among a variety of plant hosts. Propiconazole as a preventive treatment against laurel wilt in sassafras (Sassafras albidum) has not been evaluated. We treated sassafras trees with propiconazole using the Arborjet QUIK-jet® Micro-InjectionTM and TREE I.V. Micro-InfusionTM systems (Arborjet,Inc., Woburn, MA, USA) and challenged trees by inoculating them with H. lauricola. Out of 7 trees treated using the QUIK-jet Micro-Injection system, 6 (86%) survived 52 or more weeks following inoculation with H. lauricola, while only 11% of inoculated control trees (1 of 9) survived over this period. All trees not damaged by hurricanes (n = 13) treated with propiconazole using the TREE I.V. Micro-Infusion system survived signifi cantly longer than untreated control trees after inoculation with H. lauricola; 10 of 13 trees (77%) survived with < 50% crown loss, and 8 of 13 trees (62%) appeared entirely healthy 54 weeks post-inoculation. In the TREE I.V. Micro-Infusion system trial, 15 of 19 control trees (79%) had either died or lost ≥ 50% of living crown 54 weeks post-inoculation with H. lauricola. Results indicate sassafras trees treated with propiconazole using the Arborjet QUIK-jet Micro-Injection and TREE I.V. Micro-Infusion systems are significantly less likely to die within one year of infection with H. lauricola; however some trees may exhibit signifi cant crown decline (≥ 50%) over this period.

Published: January 2023

"Background: In Singapore, determining the level of infestation by lebbek borer (Xystrocera globosa)(Olivier, 1795)[Coleoptera: Cerambycidae] is the crucial first step in control of this pestra in rain tree (Albizia saman [Jacq.] Merr.)[Fabales: Fabaceae]. Current assessment methods rely on symptoms such as canopy colour, defoliation, dieback, and actual estimation of borer population via counting of larvae or exit holes created by adults. Currently, there is a lack of systematic approach to integrate different tree health indicators and symptoms to quantify infestation level. This gap poses challenges in assessment of treatment efficacy as managers could not quantitatively determine whether infestation level has changed following treatment. Thus, this study aimed to develop a visual assessment method that can integrate all mentioned symptoms to quantify infestation level. Methods: We surveyed a total of 388 rain trees and used principal component analysis (PCA) to investigate the correlation between X. globosa infestation and different borer infestation symptoms. Borer Infestation Score (BIS) formula was developed based on the linear combinations of the statistically significant principal component. Results: Infestation level was strongly associated with bark peeling, exit holes, and proximity of bark peeling and/or exit holes to trunk base and weakly associated with defoliation, dieback, and canopy colour. Developed BIS formula generated numerical values that distinguished between noninfested and infested trees, reflected infestation level in surveyed areas and temporal progression of infestation. Conclusions: Described integrated visual assessment method can be executed quickly on field. BIS formula generates quantitative scores easy to be interpreted, tracked, and compared.
