ON TWO NEW HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA
Authors: Ashmead Wm. H. 
Published: February 2010

Among a very interesting collection of Mexican and other Hemiptera sent to me by Mr. Samuel Henshaw, Curator of Boston Society of Natural History, for identification, I find two species new to science and peculiar to genera never before detected in North America, although both are well represented in the European fauna.In the first genus, Stenocephalus A. & S., in Europe, four species are known, principally peculiar to the southern portions of that continent.

NATURAL HISTORY NOTES ON CERTAIN COLEOPTERA. No. I
Authors: Hamilton John 
Published: February 2010

Ceophyllus monilis Lec. Several of these curious little coleopters were taken May 11th, from a colony of ants inhabiting under a flat stone. This ant is honey yellow, .18 inch in length, very sluggish in its movements, and not disposed to be vicious; it seems to be the same as that with which Batrisus bistriatus is found (also in May), and is perhaps Lasius integerrimus, Mayr., which Mr. E. A. Schwarz thinks is the name of the ant with which on several occasions he found the same beetle in Michigan in early spring.The beetles were on the under side of the stone distributed among the ants, and taking alarm immediately on its being overturned, scampered off so quickly into the underground galleries that only a few could be captured.
NOTES ON TENTHREDINIDÆ, 1885
Authors: Harrington W. Hague 
Published: February 2010

Read at the Annual Meeting of the Ent. Soc. Ont.The earliest species which I noted during the past season, was the common and obnoxious currant saw-fly, Nematus ventricosus, which appeared on 15th May. Two days later I captured upon willow in bloom a specimen of Dolerus collaris, and on the 21st and 22nd found D. aprilis quite common on and about alders, with a few D. sericeus? and D. abdominalis. By the 24th May the strawberry saw-fly, Emphytus maculatus, and the raspberry saw-fly, Selandria rubi, were in considerable numbers, and at the same time appeared several less well known species in fields and woods, such as Hylotoma McCleayi. This species I found again on 2nd June and subsequent days, upon the flowers of choke-cherry. Later in the season specimens were found upon Spiræa. Selandria flavipes was captured on 10th June, and was abundant during the season. It could always be obtained by using a sweeping-net among the common fern. At the same time could be obtained in abundance upon the ferns greenish larvae which I have no doubt were those of that species.

COLEOPTERA FOUND IN DEAD TRUNKS OF TILIA AMERICANA L, IN OCTOBER
Authors: Townsend C. H. T. 
Published: February 2010

Having examined a good number of dead trunks of the basswood or American linden, Tilia Americana L., here this fall, I have found quite a list of Coleoptera in them either under the bark or in the decayed wood. The following is the list, which embraces thirty-four species taken from 13th October to 3rd November, 1885. Some of the species are only of accidental occurrence in the trunks, but will be readily known, and are given to record them from this locality. The determinations are mostly by Dr. Horn:—Tachys flavicauda Gyll. Colonies or scattered individuals mixed with colonies of Silvanus planatus Germ., or by themselves, under the bark of the less decayed trunks.
NOTES ON HYMENOPTERA, COLLECTED NEAR OTTAWA
Authors: Guignard J. A. 
Published: February 2010

Within the first year of work in this branch of entomology in the Ottawa district, I was able to make acquaintance with all the 26 orders into which Hymenoptera are divided in Mr. Brodie's Canadian list; and now at the end of our second year, out of 247 genera, only about 70 remain unrepresented, while 13 genera are added not yet before met with in Canada, two of which have never been described.I shall leave out the Uroceridœ and Tenthredinidae, and not include them in the following figures, as Mr. W. H. Harrington has given especial attention to those two orders, and has already published an article on them.

Published: February 2010

Lebia divisa Lec.—Twenty-nine specimens of this beautiful Carabid were taken during July (1884) with the sweeping net, on various weeds along the edge of a slough. One specimen was found under a board. Towards sunset seemed to be the only time they could be captured, differing in that respect from some of the others of the genus, which are about at all hours of the day. My first specimen was taken in 1876 in same locality.Lebia tricolor, pleuritica and analis seem to be rare. Have taken them with the sieve late in October.

DESCRIPTION OF A NEW TEXAN ANISOTA
Authors: Harvey Leon F. 
Published: February 2010

The following species, new to the fauna of the United States, have been collected by Mr. L. Heiligbrodt, in Bastrop Co., Texas, and the types are contained in the beautiful collection of my friend, Mr. Otto Meske, in Albany.Anisota Heiligbrodti, n. s.♂ ♀. The antennæ of the male are broadly bipectinate, except at the tips ; those of the female are simple. This species differs from its allies by its purely gray color and by the fore wings being covered by two narrow blackish lines. The first of these is sub-basal, irregularly sinuous, produced on the disc; the second is regularly scalloped, interspaceally waved, and runs from apical third to internal margin. The wide median space has a more purely whitish ground, while the wing everywhere is thickly dusted with duskily cells.

Authors: Bailey James S. 
Published: February 2010

Center is situated on the line of the New York Central Railroad, midway between Albany and Schenectady. The road in reaching this point traverses a distance of eight miles from Albany, and attains an elevation of 315 feet above tide-water.During the warm months there are two daily trains stopping at this station, going east and west, and are so arranged as to give the scientist the advantage of the first half of the day on the ground. The place itself is not in the least attractive, consisting of but a few dwellings erected for the accommodation of the Railroad employes.

In an article published in the Entomologist for May, 1873, I gave the results of my observations upon the genus Cynips, so far as they related to the agamous reproduction of certain species.I showed that at least two-gendered species, C.q. operator O.S. and a species nearly related to, if not identical with, C. q. batatus Bassett, were followed in the next generation by a brood composed entirely of females.
NOTES ON THE LARVA AND PUPA OF EUCHAETES COLLARIS
Authors: Van Wagenen G. H. 
Published: February 2010

I have, for three seasons, raised Euchaetes collaris from the larva, it being very abundant in this locality, and present the following notes as the result of my observations :The larvæ feed on the Apocynum androsaemifolium, or Spreading Dogsbane. They will in confinement feed on Asclepias, but I have never, after careful search, found but one of the larvæ on it in the field. They feed at night, leaving their food-plant and hiding themselves during the day.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that the dichotomy between tolerance and active IgA immunity in mucosal immune responses is regulated at the APC level. Therefore, immunomodulation of the APC could be an effective mechanism to control the two response patterns. In this study, we demonstrate that ADP-ribosylation controls the outcome of tolerance or active effector T cell immunity to an internal peptide p323–339 from OVA inserted into the cholera toxin (CT)-derived CTA1-OVA-DD adjuvant. We found that a single point mutation, CTA1R7K-OVA-DD, resulting in lack of enzymatic activity, promoted peptide-specific tolerance in TCR transgenic CD4+ T cells following a single intranasal (i.n.) treatment. The CTA1R7K-OVA-DD–induced tolerance was strong, long-lasting, and impaired the ability of adoptively transferred naive peptide-specific CD4+ T cells to respond to Ag-challenge, irrespective if this was given i.p or i.n. The tolerance correlated with induction of regulatory T cells of the regulatory T type 1 characterized by CD25−Foxp3−CD4+ T cells producing IL-10. In contrast, in IL-10–deficient mice, no peptide-specific tolerance was observed, and these mice exhibited unimpaired CD4+ T cell responsiveness to recall Ag irrespective of if they were untreated (PBS) or treated i.n. with CTA1R7K-OVA-DD. Thus, for the first time, we can provide unequivocal proof that ADP-ribosylation can control the outcome of mucosal Ag exposure from tolerance to an enhanced effector CD4+ T cell response. The exploitation of this system for clinical treatment of autoimmune diseases is discussed.

AbstractObjectiveTo describe vascular events during an 8‐year followup in a multicenter systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) inception cohort and their attribution to atherosclerosis.MethodsClinical data, including comorbidities, were recorded yearly. Vascular events were recorded and attributed to atherosclerosis or not. All of the events met standard clinical criteria. Factors associated with atherosclerotic vascular events were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t‐tests, and chi‐square tests. Stepwise multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the association of factors with vascular events attributed to atherosclerosis.ResultsSince 2000, 1,249 patients have been entered into the cohort. There have been 97 vascular events in 72 patients, including: myocardial infarction (n = 13), angina (n = 15), congestive heart failure (n = 24), peripheral vascular disease (n = 8), transient ischemic attack (n = 13), stroke (n = 23), and pacemaker insertion (n = 1). Fifty of the events were attributed to active lupus, 31 events in 22 patients were attributed to atherosclerosis, and 16 events were attributed to other causes. The mean ± SD time from diagnosis to the first atherosclerotic event was 2.0 ± 1.5 years. Compared with patients followed for 2 years without atherosclerotic events (n = 615), at enrollment, patients with atherosclerotic vascular events were more frequently white, men, older at diagnosis of SLE, obese, smokers, hypertensive, and had a family history of coronary artery disease. On multivariate analysis, only male sex and older age at diagnosis were associated factors.ConclusionIn an inception cohort with SLE followed for up to 8 years, there were 97 vascular events, but only 31 were attributable to atherosclerosis. Patients with atherosclerotic events were more likely to be men and to be older at diagnosis of SLE.
Factors that influence rheumatologists' decisions to escalate care in rheumatoid arthritis: Results from a choice‐based conjoint analysis

AbstractObjectiveIn order to improve adherence to treatment guidelines and performance indicators advocating tight control of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), it is important to gain insight into the factors influencing rheumatologists' decisions whether or not to escalate care. Our objective was to determine the influence of specific attributes relative to a validated measure of disease activity (the Disease Activity Score [DAS]) on rheumatologists' decisions to escalate care.MethodsWe used a computer‐based choice‐based conjoint analysis survey to determine the relative importance of 6 attributes on rheumatologists' decisions related to escalation of care in RA. We administered the survey in a convenience sample of rheumatologists attending the 2008 American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting. Utilities were calculated using hierarchical Bayes modeling, and these results were used to calculate the relative importance of each attribute.ResultsRheumatologists assigned the most importance to the DAS score (relative importance of 30.7%) in their decision to escalate care. The age of the patient (21.5%) and erosions (20.5%) were rated as equally important in this decision. The decision to escalate care was least influenced by change in symptoms reported by the patient (11.1%), current treatment (8.9%), and disease duration (7.4%).ConclusionOur findings suggest that rheumatologists endorse the DAS as a means to guide decision making in RA. We also found that age and erosions are important influences on rheumatologists' decisions to escalate care in RA. Our results add to the literature supporting age bias in RA and suggest that further research is needed to determine how age affects quality of care in clinical practice.

AbstractObjectiveTo develop a definition of global flare in juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and derive candidate criteria for measuring juvenile SLE flares.MethodsPediatric rheumatologists answered 2 Delphi questionnaires to achieve consensus on a common definition of juvenile SLE flare and identify variables for use in candidate flare criteria. The diagnostic accuracy of these candidate flare criteria was tested with data from juvenile SLE patients (n = 98; 623 visits total). Physician‐rated change in the juvenile SLE course (worsening, yes/no) between visits served as the criterion standard.ResultsThere was 96% consensus that a “a flare is a measurable worsening of juvenile SLE disease activity in at least one organ system, involving new or worse signs of disease that may be accompanied by new or worse SLE symptoms. Depending on the severity of the flare, more intensive therapy may be required.” Variables suggested for use in flare criteria were: physician‐rated disease activity (V1), patient well‐being, protein:creatinine ratio, a validated disease activity index (V2), the Child Health Questionnaire physical summary score (V3), anti–double‐stranded DNA antibodies, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and complement levels. Using multiple logistic regression, several candidate flare criteria were derived with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) as high as 0.92 (sensitivity ≥85%, specificity ≥85%); classification and regression tree analysis suggested that V1, V2, and V3 suffice to identify juvenile SLE flares (AUC 0.81; sensitivity = 64%, specificity = 86%).ConclusionConsensus about a definition of global disease flare for juvenile SLE has been obtained and promising candidate flare criteria have been developed. These will need further assessment of their ease of use and accuracy in prospective study.

AbstractThe field‐effect transistor (FET) and diode characteristics of poly(3‐alkylthiophene) (P3AT) nanofiber layers deposited from nanofiber dispersions are presented and compared with those of layers deposited from molecularly dissolved polymer solutions in chlorobenzene. The P3AT n‐alkyl‐side‐chain length was varied from 4 to 9 carbon atoms. The hole mobilities are correlated with the interface and bulk morphology of the layers as determined by UV–vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with selected area electron diffraction (SAED), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and polarized carbon K‐edge near edge X‐ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy. The latter technique reveals the average polymer orientation in the accumulation region of the FET at the interface with the SiO2 gate dielectric. The previously observed alkyl‐chain‐length‐dependence of the FET mobility in P3AT films results from differences in molecular ordering and orientation at the dielectric/semiconductor interface, and it is concluded that side‐chain length does not determine the intrinsic mobility of P3ATs, but rather the alkyl chain length of P3ATs influences FET diode mobility only through changes in interfacial bulk ordering in solution processed films.
