Abstract
Background
Understanding movement patterns of a species is vital for optimising conservation and management strategies. This information is often difficult to obtain in the marine realm for species that regularly occur at depth. The common sawshark (Pristiophorus cirratus) is a small, benthic associated elasmobranch species that occurs from shallow to deep-sea environments. No information is known regarding its movement ecology. Despite this, P. cirrata are still regularly landed as nontargeted catch in the south eastern Australian trawl fisheries. Three individuals were tagged with pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs) off the coast of Tasmania, Australia, to test the viability of satellite tagging on these small elasmobranchs and to provide novel insights into their movement.
Results
Tags were successfully retained for up to three weeks, but movement results differed on an individual basis. All three individuals displayed a post-release response to tagging and limited vertical movement was observed for up to 5–7 days post-tagging. Temperature loggers on the tags suggest the animals were not stationary but moved horizontally during this time, presumably in a flight response. After this response, continuous wavelet transformations identified diel vertical movements in one individual at cyclical intervals of 12- and 24-hour periods, however, two others did not display as clear a pattern. Temperature was not significantly correlated with movement in the study period. The deepest depths recorded during the deployments for all individuals was approximately 120 meters and the shallowest was 5 meters.
Conclusions
This study demonstrates that sawsharks can be successfully tagged by pop-up satellite archival tags. The data presented here show that sawsharks regularly move both horizontally and vertically in the water column, which was an unexpected result for this small benthic species. Additional research aimed at resolving the trophic ecology will help identify the drivers of these movements and help to better define the ecological, behavioural and physiological roles of these sharks in their ecosystems. These data describe a substantial ability to move in the common sawshark that was previously unknown and provides the first account of movement ecology on the family of sawsharks: Pristiophoridae.

Abstract
BackgroundAedes aegypti is the major mosquito vector of many burdensome human diseases. While behavioral research has focused primarily on understanding the importance of olfactory stimuli in its host-seeking abilities, Ae. aegypti’s vision has also been shown to contribute significantly to locating a human host. In this semi-field study conducted in Kisian, Kisumu County, Kenya, we explored the role of visual properties in Aedes host-seeking by testing four different visual characteristics presented in host decoy traps (HDT). This surveillance trap presents a combination of visual, thermal, and odor stimuli to attract bloodmeal-seeking mosquitoes. This was also the first test of HDT for sampling Aedes mosquitoes, having previously been shown to be effective for capture of other vector genera such as Anopheles, Mansonia, and Culex in field settings.ResultsOur results show that the HDT is an effective means of capturing Ae. aegypti mosquitoes, with a per trial capture rate of up to 69% across four visually distinct HDTs deployed simultaneously in a semi-field arena. Of these four, a solid black HDT (HDT B) captured more mosquitoes than HDTs with: black-white stripes (HDT S), black-white checkerboard patches (HDT P), and a solid white color (HDT W). Across 16 replicates wherein 200 mosquitoes were released per trial, HDT B caught more mosquitoes than HDTs S, P, and W by a factor of 1.9, 1.7, and 1.5 respectively. In all cases, mosquito capture was not evenly distributed on the HDT surface, with captures on the HDT’s outer half, away from the odor delivery, exceeding captures on the inner half facing towards the odor delivery by a factor of 4.8, 3.7, 3.7, and 5.1 on HDTs B, S, P, and W respectively.Conclusions: Our results establish that in semi-field conditions, the HDT is effective for the capture of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes and provides a flexible platform to test experimental parameters pertinent to the host-seeking behavior of mosquito vector species. We show that Ae. aegypti makes use of dark, but not light, high contrast visual information while responding to both the olfactory and thermal stimuli associated with hosts. The results further show that the solid black surface of the original HDT design is more effective than the other surfaces (white or black/white patterns) for the capture of Ae. aegypti.

Abstract
Background: Conventional median sternotomy is widespread used in cardiac surgery, while the multiple-incision totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery which is considered to have aesthetic advantages now is increasingly used in china because patients' requirements for minimally invasive and aesthetically pleasing are significantly increased. Fewer studies have been conducted on the assessment of surgical scars after cardiac surgery. Compared to a median sternotomy approach, totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery offers smaller but numerous and scattered incisions, requiring two surgical incisions on the upper and lower margins of the right breast, as well as an inguinal incision and an axillary incision. So, does totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery really have aesthetic advantages? This study has the following objectives: (a) to compare the long term cosmetic effect of post-operative scars between median sternotomy cardiac surgery and totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery; (b) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Scar Cosmesis Assessment and Rating(SCAR) scale, in combination with the Numeric Rating Scale(NRS) in the assessment of surgical scars after cardiac surgery.Methods: Collection of consecutive patients who came to our institution from January 2019 to May 2019 for cardiac surgery via median sternotomy or totally thoracoscopic approach for at least one year of follow-up. Inter-rater reliability, internal consistency and convergent validity were evaluated for the SCAR scale and the NRS. Clinic characteristics and the score of the SCAR scale and the NRS were analyzed using the Student's t test or Mann-Whitney U-test between the two groups.Results: 31 patients underwent cardiac surgery via the totally thoracoscopic approach (TA n = 31), and 42 patients via the median sternotomy approach (SA n = 42). No significant differences were found in demographic and clinical data between the two groups. Validity and reliability of the SCAR scale and the NRS were satisfactory. The scores of “overall impression” and “patient questions” were obviously higher in the sternotomy group with statistical significance (P < 0.05). The overall SCAR scale scores and the NRS scores were statistically significant (P < 0.05).Conclusions: The SCAR scale in combination with the NRS is an effective tool for scar assessment after cardiac surgery. Surgical scars of totally thoracoscopic cardiac surgery can achieve desirable cosmetic effects in Chinese population. Especially in susceptible individuals with high risk of keloid and hypertrophic scars. Patients with appropriate indications can undergo cardiac surgery through the totally thoracoscopic approach and obtain a satisfactory scar appearance.
Linking microbial genomes with their potential to degrade terrestrial organic matter in the Amazon River
Authors: Santos-Junior Celio Dias , Logares Ramiro , Henrique-Silva Flavio 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Rivers connect the carbon cycle in land with that in aquatic ecosystems by transporting and transforming terrestrial organic matter (TeOM). The Amazon River receives huge loads of TeOM from the surrounding rainforest, promoting a substantial microbial heterotrophic activity and consequently, CO2 outgassing. In the Amazon River, microbes degrade up to 55% of the lignin present in the TeOM. Yet, the main microbial genomes involved in TeOM degradation were not known. Here, we characterize 51 population genomes (PGs) representing some of the most abundant microbes in the Amazon River deriving from 106 metagenomes. The 51 reconstructed PGs are among the most abundant microbes in the Amazon River, and 53% of them are not able to degrade TeOM. Among the PGs capable of degrading TeOM, 20% were exclusively cellulolytic, while the others could also oxidize lignin. The transport and consumption of lignin oxidation byproducts seemed to be decoupled from the oxidation process, being apparently performed by different groups of microorganisms. Altogether, based on our findings, we suggest a new priming effect model that explains the quick turnover of TeOM as a product of the microbial consumption of lignin-derived aromatic compounds produced by lignin oxidation, reducing the inhibition of cellulose degradation and ensuring structural carbon and energy for cell growth. By connecting the genomic features of abundant microbes in the Amazon River with the degradation of recalcitrant TeOM, we contribute to increase our understanding of the rapid consumption of recalcitrant compounds in this ecosystem.

Abstract
In this study, the surface water balance method was used to calculate the interaction between surface water and groundwater (SGW) in the Taoer River alluvial fan in Jilin Province, China, from 1956 to 2014. The automatic linear model was used to determine the key and non-key influencing factors, and correlation analysis was performed to evaluate their relationship with one another. River runoff and groundwater level were the key factors affecting the SGW interaction, and sand–gravel exposure in the fan was more conducive to SGW interaction. There was a positive correlation between runoff and SGW interaction, and the relationship between the groundwater and surface water levels was correlated and affected by groundwater exploitation and groundwater runoff. Groundwater exploitation and evaporation and precipitation indirectly influenced the SGW interaction by affecting the groundwater level and river runoff key factors, respectively, and were considered non-key factors.

Abstract
Selective removal of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) from soil washing effluents is the key to the surfactant-enhanced soil washing technology. In this study, the diatomite was modified by nonionic surfactant TX-100 and applied in the selective adsorption of PHCs in the soil washing effluents. The modified diatomites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption/desorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy respectively. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order model and the adsorption isotherms indicated that the interaction between PHCs and modified diatomite was monolayer adsorption. The important operating factors such as TX-100 dosage, adsorbent dosage, time and temperature were optimized. With the participation of the low-cost adsorbent TX3-Db with high adsorption capacity, the recovery efficiency of the washing effluents was still up to 78.9% after three cycles. A selective adsorption mechanism, based on steric hindrance and electrostatic repulsion, was proposed to explain the removal of PHCs from washing effluents.
Bioluminescent Proteins Prediction with Voting Strategy
Authors: Zhao Shulin , Ju Ying , Ye Xiucai , Zhang Jun , Han Shuguang 
Published: June 2020

Background:
Bioluminescence is a unique and significant phenomenon in nature.
Bioluminescence is important for the lifecycle of some organisms and is valuable in biomedical
research, including for gene expression analysis and bioluminescence imaging technology. In recent
years, researchers have identified a number of methods for predicting bioluminescent proteins
(BLPs), which have increased in accuracy, but could be further improved.

Method:
In this study, a new bioluminescent proteins prediction method, based on a voting
algorithm, is proposed. Four methods of feature extraction based on the amino acid sequence were
used. 314 dimensional features in total were extracted from amino acid composition,
physicochemical properties and k-spacer amino acid pair composition. In order to obtain the highest
MCC value to establish the optimal prediction model, a voting algorithm was then used to build the
model. To create the best performing model, the selection of base classifiers and vote counting rules
are discussed.

Results:
The proposed model achieved 93.4% accuracy, 93.4% sensitivity and
91.7% specificity in the test set, which was better than any other method. A previous prediction of
bioluminescent proteins in three lineages was also improved using the model building method,
resulting in greatly improved accuracy.

Published: June 2020

Background and Objective:Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is the most common form of leishmaniasis affecting humans. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and epidemiological features of CL in Iran by a systematic review and meta-analysis.Methods:The literature search was performed in the SID, Magiran, IranDoc, PubMed, Scopus, Medlib, as well as the Google Scholar search engine databases to find studies on the prevalence of CL. The reference lists of the found articles were also reviewed to obtain additional relevant articles. Studies that were related to treatment and reservoirs of CL were excluded. Forty-four studies were selected for the final analysis.Results:Meta-analysis with a random-effects model showed that the prevalence of leishmaniasis in Iran was 77 per 100,000 population. Overall, 60% of the patients were men. Most cases of CL occurred in autumn, and the majority of the patients had one lesion, mostly on hands. The most common age group was 20-30 years.Conclusion:In conclusion, CL is an endemic disease in Iran, and its prevalence is largely affected by geographical locations and regional customs. Appropriate preventing measures should be considered to decrease the incidence of CL in Iran.
In Vitro and In Vivo Neuroprotective Effects of Etifoxine in β-Amyloidinduced Toxicity Models
Authors: Riban Veronique , Meunier Johann , Buttigieg Dorothee , Villard Vanessa , Verleye Marc 
Published: June 2020

Aim:
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of etifoxine on β-amyloid-induced toxicity
models.

Background:
Etifoxine is an anxiolytic compound with a dual mechanism of action; it is a positive allosteric
modulator of GABAergic receptors as well as a ligand for the 18 kDa mitochondrial Translocator
Protein (TSPO). TSPO has recently raised interest in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), and experimental studies
have shown that some TSPO ligands could induce neuroprotective effects in animal models.

Objective:
In this study, we examined the potential protective effect of etifoxine in an in vitro and an
in vivo model of amyloid beta (Aβ)-induced toxicity in its oligomeric form, which is a crucial factor in
AD pathologic mechanisms.

Method:
Neuronal cultures were intoxicated with Aβ1-42, and the effects of etifoxine on oxidative
stress, Tau-hyperphosphorylation and synaptic loss were quantified. In a mice model, behavioral deficits
induced by intracerebroventricular administration of Aβ25-35 were measured in a spatial memory
test, the spontaneous alternation and in a contextual memory test, the passive avoidance test.

Results:
In neuronal cultures intoxicated with Aβ1-42, etifoxine dose-dependently decreased oxidative
stress (methionine sulfoxide positive neurons), tau-hyperphosphorylation and synaptic loss (ratio
PSD95/synaptophysin). In a mice model, memory impairments were fully alleviated by etifoxine administered
at anxiolytic doses (12.5-50mg/kg). In addition, markers of oxidative stress and apoptosis
were decreased in the hippocampus of these animals.

Conclusion:
Our results have shown that in these two models, etifoxine could fully prevent neurotoxicity
and pathological changes induced by Aβ. These results confirm that TSPO ligands could offer an
interesting therapeutic approach to Alzheimer’s disease.

Published: June 2020

Antecedentes: Los adenomas suprarrenales son tumores benignos que pueden tener o no hiperactividad.
Caso clínico: Mujer de 52 años con antecedente de HTA de 4 años de evolución con mal control a pesar de medicación en los últimos 2 meses. El TC evidenció una masa a nivel suprarrenal derecho. Analíticamente se constató niveles elevados de Aldosterona que sugieren diagnóstico de hiperaldosteronismo primario. Ante esta sospecha se realizó una suprarrenalectomía derecha laparoscópica.
Conclusión: El síndroma de Conn es una causa de HTA secundaria debida a una producción excesiva de aldosterona. En caso de hiperaldosteronismo primario la cirugía supone una posibilidad de control de la HTA con medicación cercana al 100% y de curación del 30-60%. El acceso laparoscópico es la vía de elección.
PALABRAS CLAVE: Hiperaldosteronismo primario, Síndroma de Conn, suprarrenalectomía.

Published: June 2020

Objetivo: O estudo objetivou avaliar os fatores de risco relacionados à remoção não eletiva do cateter central de inserção periférica (CCIP) em recém-nascidos. Métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado com 188 CCIPs instalados em neonatos em um centro neonatal de um hospital público de grande porte, localizado na cidade de São Paulo (SP), entre janeiro e novembro de 2017. Para variáveis contínuas, utilizaram-se estatística descritiva e teste t-Student, e para variáveis descritivas, o teste χ2 de Pearson. Resultados: Ruptura (25%) e infecção relacionada ao cateter (19%) foram os principais motivos para sua remoção não eletiva, e os fatores de risco identificados para tal estiveram relacionados ao tipo de terapia instituída (monoterapia ou politerapia), número de venopunções durante sua inserção, número de curativos realizados durante sua permanência e tempo de permanência do cateter. Conclusão: A remoção do cateter antes do término da terapia programada gera danos ao neonato e custos extras para a instituição. A análise dos motivos para sua remoção não eletiva e dos fatores de risco associados demonstram a necessidade de investir-se no treinamento da equipe de enfermagem para o correto manuseio do cateter, objetivando a prevenção de complicações evitáveis.
