ABSTRACT
Growers have rapidly adopted auxin-resistant cotton and soybean technologies. In Georgia, growers who plant auxin-resistant cotton/soybean are required to utilize nozzles that produce larger (coarser) droplets when spraying auxin herbicides to minimize potential off-target movement of pesticides. Consequently, these nozzles are also used in peanut (an important rotational crop with cotton) since changing nozzles between crops is uncommon for growers. However, larger droplets can result in reduced spray coverage which may lead to less effective pest control. Therefore, seven on-farm trials were conducted in commercial peanut fields using commercial sprayers from 2018 to 2020 across four different locations in Georgia to compare the spray performance of air-induction (AI) nozzles that produce very coarse to ultra coarse droplets (VMD50 ≥ 404 microns) with non-AI (conventional flat fan) nozzles that produce medium to coarse droplets (403≥VMD50≥236 microns) for pest management in peanuts. For each trial, test treatments were implemented in large replicated strips where each strip represented a nozzle type. For nozzle comparison, XR and XRC represented non-AI nozzles while TADF, TDXL, TTI, and TTI60 represented the commonly used AI nozzles in these trials. Spray deposition data for each nozzle along with disease ratings, weed and insect control ratings were collected in all on-farm trials. Peanut yield was collected at harvest. Results indicated that the AI nozzles produced larger droplets than the non-AI nozzles in all nozzle tests; however, the spray coverage varied among the nozzle types. Nozzle type did not influence pest (weed, disease and insect) control, or peanut yield (p&gt;0.10) in any of the on-farm trials. These results suggested that peanut growers can utilize these coarser droplet nozzles for pest management in fields with low to average pest pressure during the season. Future research on nozzle evaluation needs to investigate the influence of droplet size, carrier volume, and pressure on coverage and canopy penetration.

Kebutuhan jagung di Sumatera Barat cukup besar karena permintaan untuk pakan terus meningkat sejalan dengan perkembangan peternakan ayam. Kabupaten Limapuluh Kota sebagai salah satu sentra peternakan ayam petelur dan pedaging, hanya mampu memproduksi jagung 25-30% dari kebutuhan lokal. Hal ini disebabkan karena produktivitas jagung masih rendah sehingga diperlukan suatu teknologi untuk meningkatkan produksi. Sebagian besar lahan penanaman jagung di Indonesia berupa lahan kering, yaitu seluas 63,4 juta hektar atau sekitar 33,7%. Masalah utama penanaman jagung di lahan kering adalah kebutuhan air sepenuhnya tergantung pada curah hujan, sehingga pada musim kemarau menyebabkan tanaman kekurangan air untuk mendukung pertumbuhan dan perkembangan. Sedangkan, masalah pada musim hujan adalah tingginya populasi gulma dan adanya erosi yang mengakibatkan penurunan kesuburan lahan. Upaya untuk mengatasi masalah ini adalah dengan cara memanipulasi lingkungan tumbuh tanaman yaitu dengan pemulsaan, salah satunya dengan menggunakan mulsa alang-alang. Budidaya tanaman jagung dengan teknologi mulsa alang-alang dilakukan di lahan praktek Politeknik Pertanian Negeri Payakumbuh, Tanjung Pati. Waktu pelaksanaan dimulai pada bulan September 2015 sampai dengan Januari 2016. Dosis alang-alang yang digunakan yaitu 6 ton/ha atau 150 kg/250 m2. Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan dan uji t student, penggunaan mulsa alang-alang pada tanaman jagung dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan tinggi tanaman dan jumlah daun serta jumlah biji per baris dan bobot 100 biji. Pada lahan yang diberi teknologi diperoleh produksi sebanyak 107,5 kg/250 m2 (4,3 ton/ha), meningkat 22,85% dibandingkan produksi tanpa teknologi yaitu 87,5 kg/250 m2 (3,5 ton/ha).

Background: Limited research is available on the pattern of double distal perfusion catheters in patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) with an intra-aortic balloon pump(IABP). Here, we compared the outcomes of a double distal perfusion catheter and conventional treatment in patients who received VA-ECMO with IABP and had severe lower limb ischemia on the IABP side.Methods: We reviewed the data of 15 adult patients with postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock who received VA-ECMO via femoral cannulation combined with an IABP in the contralateral artery that was complicated with severe acute limb ischemia (ALI) on the same side as the IABP between January 2004 and December 2016. Patients underwent symptomatic treatment (conventional group, n = 9) and double distal perfusion catheterization treatment (DDPC group, n = 6). ALI was monitored using near-infrared spectroscopy placed on both calves after double distal perfusion catheters. The outcomes were compared.Results: All 6 patients who underwent double distal perfusion catheters were successfully decannulated without the development of osteofascial compartment syndrome, amputation, or bleeding and infection of the double distal perfusion catheters. The number of patients who weaned from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation successfully in the DDPC and conventional groups was 6 (100%) and 3 (33%, p = 0.028), respectively. The in-hospital mortality rates were 17% and 89% for the DDPC and conventional groups, respectively (p = 0.011).Conclusions: DDPC can be considered a strategy for severe limb ischemia on the IABP side in patients who received femoro-femoral VA-ECMO with IABP.

Background: Accurate diagnosis and classification of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is important for its management. We employed a new high-sensitivity chemiluminescence immunoassay to detect the thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), plasmin alpha2-plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC), soluble thrombomodulin (sTM), and tissue plasminogen activator-inhibitor complex (TPAI-C), and evaluated their diagnostic and classification performance for OHSS.Methods: A total of 106 women were enrolled, including 51 patients with OHSS (25 mild or moderate OHSS, 26 severe OHSS), and 55 without OHSS (control group). TAT, PIC, sTM, and TPAI-C levels were measured using the Sysmex HISCL5000 automated analyzer.Results: Compared to the control group, TAT, PIC, and TPAI-C levels were significantly higher (P &lt; 0.001, P &lt; 0.001, P &lt; 0.001, respectively), whereas the sTM level was significantly lower (P &lt; 0.001) in the patients with OHSS. The receiver operating characteristic was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency. For the diagnosis of OHSS, the area under the curves (AUCs) for TAT, PIC, sTM, and TPAI-C were 0.991, 0.973, 0.809, and 0.722, respectively. In particular, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for TAT and PIC were all above 90%. For the differential diagnosis of mild–moderate and severe OHSS, the AUCs for TAT, PIC, and TPAI-C were 0.736, 0.735, and 0.818, respectively. The cutoff values of TAT, PIC, and TPAI-C for the differential diagnosis of mild–moderate and severe OHSS were 11.5 ng/mL, 2.4 μg/mL, and 5.8 ng/mL, respectively. Based on these cutoff values, eight cases of mild–moderate OHSS exceeded the cutoff values, two of which developed to severe OHSS in the following days. However, of the remaining 17 cases of mild–moderate OHSS patients with negative biomarkers, none subsequently developed severe OHSS.Conclusions: TAT, PIC, sTM, and TPAI-C can be used as sensitive biomarkers in the diagnosis of OHSS. Meanwhile, TAT, PIC, and TPAI-C also displayed remarkable potential in the classification of OHSS. In addition, the levels of TAT, PIC, and TPAI-C above the cutoff values in patients with mild–moderate OHSS might predict a high risk of developing severe OHSS.

In Brazilian northern Amazon, communities are potentially exposed and vulnerable to methylmercury (MeHg) toxicity through the vast ingestion of fish. In vivo and in vitro studies demonstrated that the salivary glands as a susceptible organ to this potent environmental pollutant, reporting alterations on physiological, biochemical, and proteomic parameters. However, the alterations caused by MeHg on the gene expression of the exposed human salivary gland cells are still unknown. Therefore, the goal was to perform the transcriptome profile of the human salivary gland cell line after exposure to MeHg, using the microarray technique and posterior bioinformatics analysis. The cell exposure was performed using 2.5 µM MeHg. A previously published study demonstrated that this concentration belongs to a range of concentrations that caused biochemical and metabolic alterations in this linage. As a result, the MeHg exposure did not cause lethality in the human salivary gland cells line but was able to alter the expression of 155 genes. Downregulated genes (15) are entirety relating to the cell metabolism impairment, and according to KEGG analysis, they belong to the glycosphingolipid (GSL) biosynthesis pathway. On the other hand, most of the 140 upregulated genes were related to cell-cycle progression, DNA repair, and replication pathway, or cellular defenses through the GSH basal metabolism. These genomic changes revealed the effort to the cell to maintain physiological and genomic stability to avoid cell death, being in accordance with the nonlethality in the toxicity test. Last, the results support in-depth studies on nonlethal MeHg concentrations for biomarkers identification that interpret transcriptomics data in toxicological tests serving as an early alert of physiological changes in vitro biological models.

Published: August 2021

Objective: The prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) in women is higher than men. However, the knowledge of gender disparity in ADRD treatment is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the gender disparities in the receipt of anti-dementia medications among Medicare beneficiaries with ADRD in the U.S.Methods: We used data from the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey 2016. Anti-dementia medications included cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs; including rivastigmine, donepezil, and galantamine) and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists (including memantine). Descriptive analysis and multivariate logistic regression models were implemented to determine the possible gender disparities in the receipt of anti-dementia medications. Subgroup analyses were conducted to identify gender disparities among beneficiaries with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and those with only AD-related dementias.Results: Descriptive analyses showed there were statistically significant differences in age, marital status, and Charlson comorbidities index (CCI) between Medicare beneficiaries who received and who did not receive anti-dementia medications. After controlling for covariates, we found that female Medicare beneficiaries with ADRD were 1.7 times more likely to receive anti-dementia medications compared to their male counterparts (odds ratio [OR]: 1.71; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19–2.45). Specifically, among Medicare beneficiaries with AD, females were 1.2 times more likely to receive anti-dementia medications (Odds Radio: 1.20; 95% confidence interval: 0.58–2.47), and among the Medicare beneficiaries with only AD-related dementias, females were 1.9 times more likely to receive anti-dementia medications (OR: 1.90; 95% CI: 1.23–2.95).Conclusion: Healthcare providers should be aware of gender disparities in receiving anti-dementia medications among patients with ADRD, and the need to plan programs of care to support both women and men. Future approaches to finding barriers of prescribing, receiving and, adhering to anti-dementia medications by gender should include differences in longevity, biology, cognition, social roles, and environment.

Introduction: Studies have shown that patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) often perform more poorly than healthy control (HC) participants on cognitive tasks involving executive functions. Most studies, however, have been performed in Western countries and societies, making it uncertain whether impaired executive functions can also be observed among non-Western patients with OCD. To address this gap in the literature, we evaluated several executive functions in Chinese patients with OCD and HCs.Methods: Participants included consisted of 46 Chinese patients with OCD (25 men, 21 women), ranging in age from 19 to 56 years, and 45 matched HCs without any self-reported lifetime psychiatric disorder. They all lived in Shanghai or the surrounding area. Five tests of the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) were used to evaluate several executive functions (response inhibition, spatial working memory, planning, and cognitive flexibility) along with testing basic learning and visual recognition memory. Statistical tests using a Bonferroni-corrected significance level of p = 0.003 were performed to assess overall patient-control group differences in cognitive performance. Additionally, we explored performance differences between patients classified as having either relatively mild symptoms or severe symptoms based on the individual total scores on the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale.Results: There were no significant performance differences between patients with OCD and HC in any of the cognitive tests. Similarly, cognitive performance of patients with relatively mild OCD symptoms did not differ significantly from that of patients with severe symptoms.Conclusions: These results do not seem to support the view that impaired executive functioning represents a basic cognitive and pathophysiological feature of Chinese patients with OCD. However, due to study limitations, additional research is required before this conclusion can be well accepted.

Purpose: Psychotropic medications are commonly used for treating mental disorders; however, there is currently no study on how commonly they are used in China. This study reported the trends in psychotropic medications prescriptions in urban China.Methods: A national population-based study was conducted using the China Health Insurance Research Association database to estimate the period prescription prevalence of 11 major classes of psychotropic medications annually during 2013–2017. The World Health Organization Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification codes were used to identify psychotropic medications.Results: The prescription prevalence of any psychotropic medication increased from 8.110% (8.106–8.114%) in 2013 to 11.362% (11.357–11.366%) in 2017. The prescription prevalence of six classes increased significantly during 2013–2017, including sedatives-hypnotics (from 3.177 to 5.388%), anxiolytics (from 1.436 to 2.200%), antiepileptic drugs (from 1.416 to 2.140%), antipsychotics (from 0.809 to 1.156%), antidepressants (from 0.891 to 1.045%), and psycholeptic polypills (from 0.682 to 0.866%). The prescription prevalence of antidementia drugs increased from 0.069 to 0.122%, and mood stabilizers increased from 0.029 to 0.037%, although not statistically significant. The prescription prevalence of nootropic drugs, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications and drugs used in the treatment of addictive disorders was largely stable. Psychotropic medication prescription increased with age for all classes except for ADHD medications and mood stabilizers.Conclusion: Increasing trends in prescription prevalence were observed for most classes of psychotropic medications in urban China, although the prevalence was still lower than that in most developed countries. Further research is warranted to explore the potential treatment gap between China and most developed countries.
