Published: June 2024

AbstractA unifying feature of echinoderm larvae is the development of a left anterior coelom, which consists of an undivided left axocoel and hydrocoel. Although the axocoel is a key deuterostome trait, the presence of this coelom in holothurians has been the subject of debate. Here, we focus on the development of the coelom in a basal holothuroid, the apodid Chiridota gigas (F. Chiridotidae). The dorsal pore and dorsal duct develop first, just after gastrulation, followed by expansion into an axohydrocoel in the auricularia. The left somatocoel was first evident adjacent to the stomach ~30 days post‐fertilization. The axohydrocoel differentiated into two distinct parts: the hydrocoel adjacent to the stomach, and a thin‐walled axocoel that was mid‐dorsal between the hydrocoel and the dorsal pore. This left axocoel extended to both the anterior and posterior but did not cross the larval midline. Out‐folding of the hydrocoel to form the primary tentacles was first observed at 58 days. Transition to a doliolaria with four‐rings was rapid (24 hr) and similar to the transition in other holothurians, with the hydrocoel encircling the esophagus. This transition involved a posterior shift of elements of the auricularia ciliary band and associated nervous system. The ciliary band of the auricularia was rearranged to form transverse bands of the doliolaria larva, and at the same time, the serotonergic cells and fibers that had been at the anterior end moved with the portions of the ciliary band with which they were associated. These serotonergic cells and fibers were still present in the pentactula. The first pentactula was observed at 66 days. Coelom development in C. gigas showed two differences from that in other holothurians, including the development of the left axocoel and the extension of the anterior coelom into the preoral lobe. Description of the full larval development in C. gigas also revealed highly variable morphology in the late auricularia stage, which may aid in identifying apodid holothurians from plankton samples.

AbstractObjectiveExisting evidence of the relationship between induced abortion and ectopic pregnancy has not been assessed rigorously. This systematic review provides a comprehensive evaluation to examine whether induced abortion (IA) can increase the rate of ectopic pregnancy (EP).MethodsWe searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane, CNKI, WanFang, and Sinomed databases since their inception until February 2023. Eligibility criteria included case‐control studies and cohort studies that analyzed induced abortion associated with ectopic pregnancy. Data analyses were conducted by using R‐studio Version 1.1.383 software.ResultsA total of 33 case‐control studies and 7 cohort studies involving 132,926 participants were included. In case‐control studies, there was a significant association between induced abortion and ectopic pregnancy by using single‐factor analysis data (OR = 2.32, 95% CI = 1.81–2.98). Subgroup analysis by region suggested no statistical significance in the Americas (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 0.92–1.43) and Eastern Mediterranean (OR = 3.64, 95% CI = 0.88–15.18). The relationship was significant by using multiple regression analysis data (OR = 1.97, 95% CI = 1.38–2.80). In cohort studies, statistical significance was found (OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.001–2.018) after omitting one study in sensitivity analysis. The combined results of the two types of studies suggested that induced abortion would increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy to some degree, but the conclusion needs to be considered with caution.ConclusionThis study indicated that IA could increase the risk of EP to some degree and the times of IA had a negative impact on the risk. Safe abortion and avoiding repeat abortion due to unintended pregnancy could protect women's fertility.
A novel fish individual recognition method for precision farming based on knowledge distillation strategy and the range of the receptive field

AbstractWith the continuous development of green and high‐quality aquaculture technology, the process of industrialized aquaculture has been promoted. Automation, intelligence, and precision have become the future development trend of the aquaculture industry. Fish individual recognition can further distinguish fish individuals based on the determination of fish categories, providing basic support for fish disease analysis, bait feeding, and precision aquaculture. However, the high similarity of fish individuals and the complexity of the underwater environment presents great challenges to fish individual recognition. To address these problems, we propose a novel fish individual recognition method for precision farming that rethinks the knowledge distillation strategy and the chunking method in the vision transformer. The method uses the traditional convolutional neural network model as the teacher model, introducing the teacher token to guide the student model to learn the fish texture features. We propose stride patch embedding to expand the range of the receptive field, thus enhancing the local continuity of the image, and self‐attention‐pruning to discard unimportant tokens and reduce the model computation. The experimental results on the DlouFish dataset show that the proposed method in this paper improves accuracy by 3.25% compared to ECA Resnet152, with an accuracy of 93.19%, and also outperforms other vision transformer models.

Published: June 2024

AbstractThe Poyang Lake region is home to large‐blackspot loaches (LBL), small‐blackspot loaches (SBL), and non‐blackspot loaches (NBL), Misgurnus anguillicaudatus. To investigate the impact of tyrosinase on spot development, the complementary DNAs (cDNA) of tyrosinase in M. anguillicaudatus (designated as Matyr) were cloned using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE)‐PCR method. The full‐length cDNA for Matyr was 2020 bp, and the open‐reading frame comprised 1617 bp, encoding a predicted protein with 538 amino acids. Phylogenetic studies revealed that MaTyr was first grouped with Tyr of Triplophysa tibetana and Leptobotia taeniops, and then Tyr of other cyprinid fish. The quantitative reverse‐transcription‐PCR results show that Matyr was highly expressed in the muscle, caudal fin, and dorsal skin. The Matyr gene's messenger RNA expression pattern steadily increased from the fertilized ovum period to the somitogenesis period, and from the muscle effect stage to 6 days after fertilization, it considerably increased (p < 0.01). The Matyr hybridization signals with similar location could be found in all developmental stages of three kinds of loaches using whole‐mount in situ hybridization (WISH) technology and were the strongest during the organ development period and melanin formation period. Dot hybridization signals in LBLs rapidly spread to the back of the body beginning at the period when the eyes first formed melanin, and their dimensions were larger than those of NBLs during the same time period. The body color of loaches could change reversibly with black/white background adaptation. The α‐msh, mitfa, and tyr are mainly expressed in loaches adapted with a black background. Tyr gene could be involved in the development of blackspots and body color polymorphism, and contribute to organ development in the loach.

AbstractThe Lebranche mullet Mugil liza is a marine fish of great importance for artisanal and industrial fishing, as well as aquaculture. The use of live feeds during the larviculture phase of marine fish is a significant component of production costs. The present study evaluated the effects of the feeding transition on different larval stages of M. liza, from the combined supply of live feed (Brachionus rotundiformis + Artemia franciscana) and live + inert feed (Artemia franciscana + inert diet) until the weaning phase to only the inert diet. A total of 3240 M. liza larvae (weight 0.0133 ± 0.0062 g and length 0.793 ± 0.160 cm) were distributed among the 12 experimental units (n = 270), resulting in four groups with three replicates each. Treatment groups consisted of feed transition with A. franciscana (enriched metanauplii) to commercial inert feed starting weaning at four different larval ages: 28, 31, 34, and 37 days post hatching. Zootechnical performance indexes and intestinal histomorphometry were evaluated. Mortality, condition factor, and length variation coefficient did not show significant differences between treatments. Final weight, final length, weight gain, and length gain were significantly greater in larvae that started weaning at 31, 34, and 37 days post hatching. Weight coefficient of variation was significantly higher in larvae that started weaning at 28 days (67.51 ± 11.70) compared to 37 days (34.40 ± 7.30). In intestinal histology, villi height (180.3 ± 4.4) was significantly higher in larvae that started weaning at 37 days post hatching. Considering the evidence found in the present study, it is recommended to start weaning M. liza on the 31st day post‐hatching, using a 2‐day co‐feeding protocol (31st and 32nd days). From the 33rd day after hatching, M. liza larvae can receive only commercial feed.

ABSTRACTThe development of flowers in soybean (Glycine max) is essential for determining the yield potential of the plant. Gene silencing pathways are involved in modulating flower development, but their full elucidation is still incomplete. Here, we conducted a forward genetic screen and identified an abnormal flower mutant, deformed floral bud1‐1 (Gmdfb1‐1), in soybean. We mapped and identified the causal gene, which encodes a member of the armadillo (ARM)‐repeat superfamily. Using small RNA sequencing (sRNA‐seq), we found an abnormal accumulation of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNA (miRNAs) in the Gmdfb1 mutants. We further demonstrated that GmDFB1 interacts with the RNA exosome cofactor SUPER KILLER7 (GmSKI7). Additionally, GmDFB1 interacts with the PIWI domain of ARGONAUTE 1 (GmAGO1) to inhibit the cleavage efficiency on the target genes of sRNAs. The enhanced gene silencing mediated by siRNA and miRNA in the Gmdfb1 mutants leads to the downregulation of their target genes associated with flower development. This study revealed the crucial role of GmDFB1 in regulating floral organ identity in soybean probably by participating in two distinct gene silencing pathways.

AbstractBackgroundLoss‐of‐function variants in MME (membrane metalloendopeptidase) are a known cause of recessive Charcot–Marie–Tooth Neuropathy (CMT). A deep intronic variant, MME c.1188+428A>G (NM_000902.5), was identified through whole genome sequencing (WGS) of two Australian families with recessive inheritance of axonal CMT using the seqr platform. MME c.1188+428A>G was detected in a homozygous state in Family 1, and in a compound heterozygous state with a known pathogenic MME variant (c.467del; p.Pro156Leufs*14) in Family 2.AimsWe aimed to determine the pathogenicity of the MME c.1188+428A>G variant through segregation and splicing analysis.MethodsThe splicing impact of the deep intronic MME variant c.1188+428A>G was assessed using an in vitro exon‐trapping assay.ResultsThe exon‐trapping assay demonstrated that the MME c.1188+428A>G variant created a novel splice donor site resulting in the inclusion of an 83 bp pseudoexon between MME exons 12 and 13. The incorporation of the pseudoexon into MME transcript is predicted to lead to a coding frameshift and premature termination codon (PTC) in MME exon 14 (p.Ala397ProfsTer47). This PTC is likely to result in nonsense mediated decay (NMD) of MME transcript leading to a pathogenic loss‐of‐function.InterpretationTo our knowledge, this is the first report of a pathogenic deep intronic MME variant causing CMT. This is of significance as deep intronic variants are missed using whole exome sequencing screening methods. Individuals with CMT should be reassessed for deep intronic variants, with splicing impacts being considered in relation to the potential pathogenicity of variants.

AbstractHuman papillomavirus (HPV) is a major cause of cervical cancer. As the natural history of HPV‐associated cervical lesions is HPV genotype‐dependent, it is important to understand the characteristics of these genotypes and to manage them accordingly. Among high‐risk HPVs, HPV16 and 18 are particularly aggressive, together accounting for 70% of HPV genotypes detected in cervical cancer. Other than HPV16 and 18, HPV31, 33, 35, 45, 52, and 58 are also at a high risk of progression to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)3 or higher. Recent studies have shown that the natural history of HPV16, 18, 52, and 58, which are frequently detected in Japan, depends on the HPV genotype. For example, HPV16 tends to progress in a stepwise fashion from CIN1 to CIN3, while HPV52 and 58 are more likely to persist in the CIN1 to CIN2 state. Among the high‐risk HPVs, HPV18 has some peculiar characteristics different from those of other high‐risk HPV types; the detection rate in precancerous lesions is much lower than those of other high‐risk HPVs, and it is frequently detected in highly malignant adenocarcinoma and small cell carcinoma. Recent findings demonstrate that HPV18 may be characterized by latent infection and carcinogenesis in stem cell‐like cells. In this context, this review outlines the natural history of HPV‐infected cervical lesions and the characteristics of each HPV genotype.
How intergenerational estrangement matters for maternal and adult children's health

Published: June 2024

AbstractObjectiveWe compare maternal and adult child health outcomes across (1) estranged (i.e., no contact, or low contact and low quality), (2) socially positive (i.e., high quality, moderate to high contact), and (3) socially negative (i.e., high contact but low quality) maternal–adult child relationships.BackgroundWe develop intergenerational resource, crisis, and strain theories to test the link between socially positive, socially negative, and estranged maternal–adult child dynamics and the health of both generations.MethodRegression models of National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79 and NLSY79‐CYA) data compare self‐rated health and CES‐D scores across maternal–adult child relationship types (N = 2609 mothers; 5590 children).ResultsMothers with estranged ties report poorer health relative to those with socially positive ties. Mothers with socially negative ties report statistically similar health relative to mothers with either socially positive or estranged ties. The health of adult children with estrangement exposure is similar to those in socially negative ties, while adult children with socially negative ties have worse health relative to those in socially positive ties. Estranged adult children report worse self‐rated health than those in socially positive ties, but adult children's mental health is not statistically different than those in socially positive ties. Family‐level analyses incorporating siblings suggest that for mothers, an estranged/socially negative tie with any child is associated with worse self‐rated health; for adult children, one's own maternal relationship is more consequential than the sibling context.ConclusionThis study has implications for research and theory on the health cost of socially negative and estranged intergenerational ties.
Putting Health care Where the Kids Are: US Public Attitudes About School‐Based Health Centers

Published: June 2024

ABSTRACTBACKGROUNDSchool‐based health centers (SBHCs) have been shown to offer substantial benefits to students but we know little about how the public thinks about them. We sought to assess US public attitudes about SBHCs and the provision of 7 health service lines—primary care, preventive care, vaccinations, preventive dental care, preventive vision care, mental health care, and nutrition counseling.METHODSWe administered a national online survey (N = 4196) of US adults using Lucid, a large, internet‐based, opt‐in panel to assess public attitudes about SBHCs as well as 7 commonly offered health services in SBHCs. We then used t‐tests and weighted linear regression models to carry out our study objectives.RESULTSUnadjusted analysis revealed that more than 2 in 3 respondents supported SBHCs in general as well as the provision of all health services in SBHCs. Regression analysis indicated that ideology, partisanship, and trust in public school principals served as consistent predictors of attitudes when controlling for demographic and health characteristics. The provision of vaccinations stood out as particularly controversial. Subanalysis of parents found even higher levels of support as well as a more subdued role of ideology and partisanship.CONCLUSIONSThe US public broadly supports the provision of health services in SBHCs. Our results should inform policymakers, advocates, and providers seeking to improve access to health care among school‐aged children, particularly for underserved populations. Increasing knowledge about SBHCs and providing stable funding should be a priority. In the immediate future, SBHCs may offer an important buffer against ongoing Medicaid disenrollments.

AbstractDesmodium triflorum is an important gramineous forage grown in tropical regions of China. In August 2022, a new leaf spot disease was observed on D. triflorum during a field survey at the base of the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences, Hainan, China. The pathogen was isolated and identified using morphological examination and phylogeny based on multi‐gene sequences analysis of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer, the second largest RNA polymerase subunit (RPB2), and beta‐tubulin genes. The isolates were identified as Epicoccum sorghinum. The pathogenicity of E. sorghinum on D. triflorum was validated fulfilling Koch's postulates, causing leaf spot disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of leaf spot disease on D. triflorum caused by E. sorghinum in China.
