nERdy: network analysis of endoplasmic reticulum dynamics
Authors: Hamarneh Ghassan , Samudre Ashwin , Gao Guang , Cardoen Ben , Nabi Ivan Robert 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) comprises smooth tubules, ribosome-studded sheets, and peripheral sheets that can present as tubular matrices. ER shaping proteins determine ER morphology, however, their role in tubular matrix formation requires reconstructing the dynamic, convoluted ER network. Existing reconstruction methods are sensitive to parameters or require extensive annotation and training for deep learning. We introduce nERdy, an image processing based approach, and nERdy+, a D4-equivariant neural network, for accurate extraction and representation of ER networks and junction dynamics, outperforming previous methods. Comparison of stable and dynamic representations of the extracted ER structure reports on tripartite junction movement and distinguishes tubular matrices from peripheral ER networks. Analysis of live cell confocal and STED time series data shows that Atlastin and Reticulon 4 promote dynamic tubular matrix formation and enhance junction dynamics, identifying novel roles for these ER shaping proteins in regulating ER structure and dynamics.
A Mathematical Explanation for Why Ratio-Based Isotopic Analyses are Commonly Misleading: Dealing with Confounded Isotopic Ratios
Authors: Moots Kate , Nguyen Christina P. , Nguyen Catherine , Camacho Frank , Lindstrom Dan , Righetti Timothy L. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Dozens of preliminary data reevaluations were conducted to verify the ratio-related mathematical theory. Differences in total elements among treatments, times and/or conditions frequently confound interpretation because total element values affect isotopic ratios. Eventually, twelve (six 87Sr:86Sr, three 15N:14N, two 13C:12C and one 34S:32S) well-performed studies were selected as examples. Sr studies: Source evaluations better describe migration patterns for ancient humans and animals, better align speleothem isotopic data with known climate changes, better define the dynamics of isotopic data within a watershed, and better describe sources of soil Sr. N studies: Source evaluations change interpretations for isotopic fractionation in sediments; N tracer treatments on potted plants; and trophic level assignments for different species in a marsh. C studies: Total C confounds 13C:12C data for isotopic fractionation experiments in forest soils and complicates an evaluation of whether past life existed in Martian sediments collected by the Curiosity rover. S studies: Total S also confounds 34S:32S evaluations of the same Martian sediments. We intend to emphasize that source analyses provide better isotopic interpretations than observed ratios in agricultural, biological and environmental studies. Observed isotopic ratio changes do not necessarily reflect source changes. Source analyses improved the Sr, N, C and S isotope evaluations.

Authors: Sathiah Prasath , Toi Pampa Chi 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Acinic cell carcinoma is an uncommon neoplasm, with the papillary cystic variant having a fatal outcome. Our knowledge about this variant is limited.
Case Presentation:
Here, we present a case report of a 59-year-old female who presented with right cheek swelling. The biopsy showed tumor cells arranged in a papillary cystic pattern and lined by a cell with an amphophilic cytoplasm and vesicular nuclei. Cells with a focal hobnail appearance were also seen. Tumour cells showed PAS-positive cytoplasmic granules and were positive for alpha-1 antitrypsin and S100. A final diagnosis of a papillarycystic variant of acinic cell carcinoma was made by correlating the morphology with special stain and immunohistochemistry.
Conclusions:
It is essential to recognize this rare variant of Acinic cell carcinomaand look for the factors associated with it for the better management of the patient.

Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background
Bile acids (BAs) are steroid-derived molecules with important roles in digestion, the maintenance of host metabolism, and immunomodulation. Primary BAs are synthesized by the host, while secondary BAs are produced by the gut microbiome through transformation of the former. Nevertheless, regulation of microbial production of secondary BAs is not well understood, particularly the production of 7-dehydroxylated BAs, which are the most potent agonists for host BA receptors. The 7-dehydroxylation of cholic acid (CA) is well established and is linked to the expression of a bile acid-inducible (bai) operon responsible for this process. However, little to no 7-dehydroxylation has been reported for other host-derived BAs (e.g., chenodeoxycholic acid, CDCA or ursodeoxycholic acid, UDCA).
Results
Here, we demonstrate that the 7-dehydroxylation of CDCA and UDCA by human-isolated Clostridium scindens strains is induced by CA suggesting that CA-dependent transcriptional regulation of 7-dehydroxylation is generalisable to CDCA and UDCA. In contrast, in the murine isolate Extibacter muris, bai gene expression did not respond to CA or other primary BAs exposure in vitro. E. muris was found to 7-dehydroxylate in vivo.
Conclusions
The distinct expression responses amongst strains indicate that bai genes are regulated differently. CA promoted the 7-dehydroxylating activity in C. scindens strains. Conversely, the in vitro activity of E. muriswas promoted only after the addition of cecal content. The accessory gene baiJ was only upregulated in the C. scindens ATCC 35704 strain, implying mechanistic differences amongst isolates. Interestingly, the human-derived C. scindens strains were also capable of 7-dehydroxylating murine bile acids (muricholic acids) to a limited extent. This study shows novel 7-dehydroxylation activity in vitro resulting from the presence of CA and suggests distinct baigene expression across bacterial species.

Published: May 2024

Abstract

This study aims to explore the undrained shear behavior and static liquefaction potential of sand in both overconsolidated and normally consolidated states. Based on the uncertainty associated with the Critical State Line (CSL) and the state parameter (\(\psi\)) of the samples defined as the current void ratio (es) and the critical void ratio (ec) at the same mean effective stress (p'), the samples were classified into four states: heavily overconsolidation state (HO), intermediate overconsolidation state (IO), lightly overconsolidation state (LO), and normally consolidation state (NC). The latter corresponds to a very loose sand with initial relative density (Dr) of about − 20%. The study findings revealed significant differences in the undrained shear behavior among samples in different consolidation states. Samples in heavily (HO) and intermediate (IO) overconsolidation states exhibited a tendency of initial contraction followed by dilation, with the main difference lying in the presence of a distinct peak strength (qpeak). In contrast, samples lightly overconsolidated (LO) and normally consolidated (NC) only showed a contraction tendency, with the main difference being in residual strength (qresidual). Finally, exploration was conducted into the potential for static liquefaction under different consolidation states. The study found that for overconsolidated samples, their liquefaction potential is mainly controlled by the state parameter (\(\psi\)). As the state parameter increases, the sample's liquefaction potential also increases. Conversely, for normally consolidated samples, their liquefaction potential is determined by the initial mean effective stress (p'0), with the potential decreasing as the initial mean effective stress (p'0) increases.

Abstract

Chronic wounds represent a significant global health concern, statistically impacting 1–2% of the population in developed countries throughout their lifetimes. These wounds cause considerable discomfort for patients and necessitate substantial expenditures of time and resources for treatment. Among the emerging therapeutic approaches, medicated dressings incorporating bioactive molecules, including natural compounds, are particularly promising. Hence, the objective of this study was to develop novel antimicrobial dressings for wound treatment. Specifically, polycaprolactone membranes were manufactured using the electrospinning technique and subsequently coated with natural polyelectrolytes (chitosan as a polycation and a mixture of manuka honey with essential oils nanoemulsions as a polyanion) employing the Layer-by-Layer assembly technique. Physico-chemical and morphological characterisation was conducted through QCM-D, FTIR-ATR, XPS, and SEM analyses. The results from SEM and QCM-D demonstrated successful layer deposition and coating formation. Furthermore, FTIR-ATR and XPS analyses distinguished among different coating compositions. The coated membranes were tested in the presence of fibroblast cells, demonstrating biocompatibility and expression of genes coding for VEGF, COL1, and TGF-β1, which are associated with the healing process (assessed through RT-qPCR analysis). Finally, the membranes exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against both Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with higher bacterial strain inhibition observed when cinnamon essential oil nanoemulsion was incorporated. Taken together, these results demonstrate the potential application of nanocoated membranes for biomedical applications, such as wound healing.
A Systematic Review Focused On Understanding the Effects of Modifiable Factors in Patients who Suffer from Chemotherapy Induced Cognitive Impairments or “Chemobrain”
Authors: Sharafkhaneh Saba , Meshkati Negin , Khan Azeem , Shepherd Hannah 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background
As the prevalence of cancer survivors increases, there have been increased reports of chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (CICI). Around 75% of cancer patients experience CICI during or after treatment. From the reported group, up to 35% will have persistent CICI for months to years following their treatments. In this review, the authors focused on modifiable factors (MFs) as variables that can be manipulated to change the impact of CICI on the patient's life. The MFs focused upon psychological factors, sleep, physical activity, and intervention programs. The authors aimed to establish that when certain interventions that address these MFs are added to treatment plans, it may help to decrease the impact of CICI.
Search Methods:
The authors used the PubMed database to identify articles to be potentially included in the review. A scoping review was conducted to narrow down the topics in relation to CICI. From here, the authors identified a set of factors deemed MFs. Using the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the authors started with 17,242 papers and narrowed down the review to 46 papers. The RoB2 tool from Cochrane Methods Bias was used to conduct risk basis assessment.
Results
The systematic review established that psychological factors, physical activity, and sleep quality/quantity affect the presence and severity of CICI. Furthermore, interventional programs and exercise can help decrease the effects of CICI. Meta-analysis was not conducted due to varying factors (cancer type, treatment type, and assessments conducted) across included studies.
Discussion
Cancer patients and survivors reported more severe CICI when depression, anxiety, fatigue, PTSD, decreased sleep quality and quantity were present. The severity of CICI significantly diminished with the use of physical activity programs, psychological programs, and cognitive training programs; however, the use of herbs, supplements, prescribed medication, Tibetan sound meditation, and EGG feedback showed little to no improvement in CICI. The findings suggest that when CICI is diagnosed at earlier stages, and supplementary interventions (medications, exercise programs cognitive behavioral therapy) are incorporated into treatment plans, the impact and severity of CICI can be decreased. This study urges more focus be placed on this aspect of chemotherapy treatment due to the increased prevalence of cancer survivors in the population.

Energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory index is associated with chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus in hemodialysis patients: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Rostami Hossein , Delkhosh Marjan 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background
Chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) is a common and bothersome symptom among hemodialysis patients. This study aimed to determine the association of energy-adjusted dietary inflammatory (E-DII) index with the risk and severity of CKD-aP in hemodialysis patients.
Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 hemodialysis patients. A valid 168-item semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used to assess the usual food intake and calculated E-DII. Yosipovitch Itch Questionnaire was used to assess CKD-aP. Based on the E- DII score, odds ratios, and 95% confidence intervals were calculated for the risk of CKD-aP. Linear regression analysis was used to determine the association between E-DII scores and biochemical parameters, CKD-aP score, and pruritus VAS score.
Results
The continuous E-DII score was significantly associated with the risk of CKD-aP in all three models. (model 1; OR = 1.19 (1.02–1.40), model 2; OR = 1.29 (1.00-1.65), and model 3 OR = 1.41 (1.00-1.98)). in all three models, the linear regression analysis showed a significant relationship between the E-DII score and CKD-aP score, as well as the VAS score (P ≤ .05). However, there was no significant association between E-DII and biochemical parameters (P ≥ .05).
Conclusions
This study provides evidence that higher consumption of a pro-inflammatory diet is associated with an increased risk of CKD-aP in hemodialysis patients. Future studies with prospective and interventional designs are required to clarify the association between this dietary index and CKD-aP in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract

Abstract
Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are one of the most studied groups of arthropods worldwide due to their high transmission capacity for pathogens, including viruses and parasites. During June to October 2022, the prevalence of mosquito species in 12 intensive pig farms from 12 representative administrative regions in Hunan province of China was investigated using traps with ultraviolet light. All collected mosquitoes were counted and identified to species according to morphological and molecular methods. A total of 4,443 mosquito specimens were collected in the pig farms, and they represented one family, four genera and nine species. Culex pipiens pipiens (24%) was the most common mosquito species, followed by Armigeres subalbatus (23.4%) and Culex tritaeniorhynchus (20.6%). Phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial cox1 sequences revealed all mosquito species from present study grouping into distinct monophyletic groups corresponding to nine known mosquito species with strongly supported. The results of the present investigation have implications for the ongoing control of mosquito infestation in pig farms in Hunan province, China. This is the first report of mosquito populations in intensive pig farms in Hunan province, China.
Impact of migrant remittances on child health in Burkina Faso
Authors: MILLOGO Kalé Julienne , N'GUESSAN Coffie Francis José , ZAHONOGO Pam 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

The increase in migrant remittances in recent years in Burkina Faso may contribute to alleviating household liquidity constraints while improving hygiene and health conditions. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the impact of migrant remittances on child health in Burkina Faso. Data from the 2021 EHCVM-2 were used using the linear regression model with an endogenous treatment effect. The results show that migrant remittances lead to a reduction of 2.598 percentage points in the proportion of children aged 0–5 hospitalized for diarrhea, typhoid, stomach problems and malaria, and a reduction of 2.831 percentage points for children aged 6–18. However, the effect appears to be more pronounced among children aged 6 to 18. It is therefore essential that health reforms take into account the magnitude of remittances, while emphasizing improvements in household living and hygiene conditions. In addition, specific health policies for children aged 6 to 18 would be relevant.

Abstract

Purpose
Thyroid function alteration is linked to insulin resistance (IR). Limited and conflicting data exist on the thyroid-IR link in African women with hypertension, in the presence or absence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). This investigation looks into the connection between free thyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), T3/T4 ratio, and IR in female hypertensive patients with or without T2DM.
Methods
A cross-sectional study on 122 female participants (≥ 18 years), categorized into three groups: 42 healthy controls, 40 hypertensive (HT), and 40 diabetic hypertensive (HT + DM) patients were recruited. Assessments and comparisons between the groups were made using baseline clinical and biochemical indicators.
Results
Mean waist circumference, systolic, and diastolic blood pressures were significantly higher in HT (p < 0.001) and HT + DM groups (p < 0.0001) compared to controls. Plasma FT3 levels were higher in HT (p = 0.042) and HT + DM (p = 0.012) compared to controls. HT group exhibited a higher T3/T4 ratio than HT + DM (p = 0.016). Mean HOMA-IR values were significantly elevated in HT (p = 0.044) and HT + DM (p = 0.047) compared to controls, with HT + DM having a higher HOMA-IR than HT.
Conclusion
These findings demonstrate that FT3 may be a better predictor of insulin resistance compared to FT4 or T3/T4 ratio in hypertensive females with or without type 2 DM.
Traffic Jams: Music and Traffic Noise Interact to Influence the Vividness, Sentiment, and Spatiotemporal Properties of Directed Mental Imagery
Authors: Prince Jon B. , Delalande Joanna , Ayyildiz Ceren , Herff Steffen A. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Music and traffic noise are nearly ubiquitous components of our modern auditory landscape. However, much remains unknown on how they interact in influencing higher-order cognitive processes such as mental imagery. Understanding this influence is important because music is a candidate to support mental imagery-based therapies, and traffic noise is often unavoidable in urban environments. Here, 107 participants performed a directed mental imagery task of imagining the continuation of a journey towards a landmark. Each trial had either silence, traffic noise, music, or combined music and noise. Bayesian Mixed Effects models reveal that compared to silence, participants reported enhanced imagery vividness for music in all conditions. Only music increased positive emotional sentiment of the imagined content, and adding noise to music diminished the effect. The auditory landscape further shaped the physical properties of the imagined content; both music and traffic affected the imagined distances travelled, but only music affected the imagined time travelled. Furthermore, elevated traffic-related themes occurred in both conditions involving traffic noise. Overall, both music and noise can modulate aspects of mental imagery and interact in complex ways to reveal dissociations between imagery components. We discuss practical implications for applied contexts, such as imagery-based therapies.
