Published: January 2025

Abstract
We report the first confirmed geographical occurrences of three species of leaf-nosed bats (family Phyllostomidae) in the Brazilian Caatinga, based on specimens collected in semideciduous forests and rupestrian grasslands of the Chapada Diamantina National Park. The new records include Artibeus anderseni, A. gnomus (Stenodermatinae), and Rhinophylla pumilio (Rhinophyllinae). Additionally, we expand the known distribution of five taxa previously recorded in other sectors of the Caatinga but either unknown in Bahia state or whose presence in this region is supported by few museum specimens: Uroderma magnirostrum, Micronycteris megalotis, M. minuta, M. sanborni, and Gardnerycteris crenulata. The new findings highlight the need for precise morphological diagnoses of voucher specimens in field surveys and geographical assessments of bat communities from the Caatinga, including the taxonomic revision of historical records. Previous records of species reported in transitional areas between this natural region and the Atlantic Forest suggest that, with additional sampling efforts in other areas, new species could be added to bat inventories in the dry ecosystems of northeastern Brazil.

Authors: Erkılıç T. Orkun , Bayraktar B. 
Published: January 2025

Background: This study aims to investigate the anti-obesity effect of GOE with adipokine (apelin and adiponectin) response at different doses (100 and 200 mg/kg) of GOE in normal healthy and obese rats with High-fat diet (HF). Methods: In this study, 36 adult male Wistar albino rats, aged between 8-10 weeks, were used. 6 groups were created, with 6 rats in each group: Control (C), Rat group without GOE and HF application, G100 (GOE 100 mg/kg group given with oral gavage route of administration (OGRA), G200 (GOE 200 mg/kg group given with OGRA), HFC (HF control group): no HF and no GOE group), HF100 (rats receiving HF were100 mg/kg graviola oil extract added to their diet), HF200 (rats receiving HF were 200 mg/kg graviola oil extract added to their diet). Blood samples were taken from the tail vein (vena caudalis) of all on days 0 and 60 of the study. Apelin and adiponectin levels in the serum samples were measured by ELISA method. Result: In the present study, a significant increase (p less than 0.01) was observed in the mean serum apelin level in the HF groups at the end of the 60 day after HF induction, while a significant decrease (p less than 0.01) was also detected in the adiponectin level. On the other hand, when examined in terms of BW, the most significant decrease due to GOE addition in the HF groups, i.e. the anti-obesity effect, was determined in the HFG200 mg/kg group (p less than 0.01). As a result, it was concluded that GOE may be safe and beneficial when administered at a dose of 200 mg/kg in obesity-induced rats.

Aim and purpose: The knowledge of health professionals about the potential risks of using ionizing radiation plays an important role in protecting themselves and patients. The use of mobile radiography units poses several threats to workers such as radiation exposure, ergonomic injuries and musculoskeletal disorders from the constant use of lead feet and moving the portable radiography machine. The aim of the study is to highlight the knowledge background of healthcare professionals on radiation and radiation protection. Methodology: 72 questionnaires were distributed and 60 were returned with an overall response rate of 83%. The main sections addressed through the questionnaire were demographic data, knowledge background on radiation dose and radiation protection rules and measures. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using SPSS software. Results: From the results, the deficit of the knowledge background of health professionals on radiation and radiation protection is evident. It emerged that health professionals, especially medical doctors - radiologists have knowledge of the dose received by the patient when performing a chest X-ray in a percentage of 75%. Also, 6.6% of the respondents stated that they rarely or never use a protective lead apron, while 5% of the respondents stated that they never use a personal dosimeter. Conclusion: The guidelines for radiation protection of workers and patients when performing home radiography should be based on the pillars of continuous training of staff, but also on adherence to the very basic principle of justification.

Larutan kaporit, biasanya digunakan sebagai zat disinfektan air, yang dapat menyebabkan korosi logam. Larutan yang bersirkulasi dapat menggerus lapisan pelindung sehingga mempercepat korosi. Epoksi primer memberikan karakter pencegah karat dan daya lekat yang paling baik dibanding dengan cat primer jenis lain. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh epoksi primer terhadap laju korosi baja karbon rendah yang direndam dalam larutan kalsium hipoklorit yang bersirkulasi. gtolPenelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan 27 buah spesimen dalam 3 bejana masing – masing bejana terdapat 9 spesimen dengan perendaman baja karbon rendah tanpa perlakuan, yang dilapisi cat dan dilapisi epoksi primer. Volume larutan kaporit1 liter untuk 1 bejana. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa yang dilapisi epoksi primer mampu menghambat laju korosi dengan baik. Pengurangan berat baja karbon rendah yang tanpa perlakuan atau yang tidak dilapisi apapun jauh lebih besar dibandingkan pada baja karbon rendah yang dilapisi cat dan dilapisi epoksi primer meski begitu yang dilapisi cat tetap tidak mampu menahan laju korosi dengan baik. Laju korosi terendah dengan pemberian epoksi primer dalam waktu perendaman 60 hari dengan nilai rata – rata yaitu 0,002879872 mpy dan laju korosi tertinggi dengan tanpa perlakuan atau yang tidak dilapisi perlakuan sama sekali dalam waktu prendaman 15 hari dengan nilai rata – rata yaitu 0,009015251 mpy.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

The spatial arrangement of cells plays a pivotal role in shaping tissue functions in various biological systems and diseased microenvironments. However, it is still under-investigated of the topological coordinating rules among different cell types as tissue spatial patterns. Here, we introduce the Triangulation cellular community motif Neural Network (TrimNN), a bottom-up approach to estimate the prevalence of sizeable conservative cell organization patterns as Cellular Community (CC) motifs in spatial transcriptomics and proteomics. Different from clustering cell type composition from classical top-down analysis, TrimNN differentiates cellular niches as countable topological blocks in recurring interconnections of various types, representing multicellular neighborhoods with interpretability and generalizability. This graph-based deep learning framework adopts inductive bias in CCs and uses a semi-divide and conquer approach in the triangulated space. In spatial omics studies, various sizes of CC motifs identified by TrimNN robustly reveal relations between spatially distributed cell-type patterns and diverse phenotypical biological functions.
Cation-controlled diffusion of chloride ions during electrochemical chlorine evolution in acidic media
Authors: Nakamura Ryuhei , Lim Taejung , Ooka Hideshi 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Impurity ions pose a major challenge towards diversifying water usage for electrolysis. In particular, millimolar-level chloride impurities remaining in reverse osmosis filtrates significantly diminish the selectivity and longevity of water electrolyzers. Here, we show that alkali metal cations can regulate the diffusion coefficient of chloride ions, enabling suppression of chlorine evolution during water electrolysis under diffusion-limiting conditions. Evidence of the cation dependency is provided by positive intercepts in both Levich and modified Koutecký−Levich plots using a rotating ring disk electrode, indicating the presence of an additional, cation-dependent diffusion layer that suppresses chloride diffusion. Numerical simulations based on the double diffusion model quantify this effect, resulting in a linear correlation between the cation-dependent diffusion barrier and the structural entropy of cation hydration. These findings suggest that the cation-dependent structuring of water significantly influences mass transport, which is particularly important at practical current densities where impurity ions are diffusion-limited.

Abstract

Introduction:Acut idiopathic urticaria is a common dermatologic condition that can significantly impact a patient's quality of life. Studies suggest various factors, including allergic and non-allergic triggers, play a role in the disease's development. However, the effects of lifestyle factors such as food consumption on disease activity and skin characteristics remain insufficiently studied.
Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between symptom duration, urticaria activity at admission, weekly packaged food consumption, and skin measurements (moisture, oil, and softness) in patients with acute idiopathic urticaria (AIU).
Material and Methods: This case-control study included 25 patients with AIU and a control group of 25 healthy children. Clinical data, including symptom duration, urticaria activity score (UAS), and weekly packaged food consumption, were collected. Skin measurements, such as moisture (MOIST %), oil, and softness, were assessed at admission. Correlations between these factors were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient.
Results:The study found significant negative correlations between weekly packaged food consumption and skin moisture (R=-0.405, P=0.041), oil (R=-0.421, P=0.032), and softness (R=-0.463, P=0.016). There was no significant correlation between symptom duration, UAS, and skin measurements.
Conclusion:The results suggest that higher consumption of packaged foods correlates with decreased skin hydration and oiliness in children with AIU. Further studies are needed to understand the underlying mechanisms and to explore the impact of diet on chronic skin conditions.
High alpha-band activity of prefrontal cortex contributes to the significant neural alterations in the initial two-month phase of a romantic relationship
Authors: Zhang Zhizhen , Han Chuanliang 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Romantic relationships are integral to human experience, with most individuals encountering them at some point in their lives. The neural mechanisms of romantic relationships have gradually gained attention. However, existing studies have mainly focused on the cross-sectional level, and longitudinal research is not sufficient, especially regarding the early stages when couples first enter a romantic relationship. The brain's neural transition from a normal state to the honeymoon phase of love remains poorly understood. To answer this question, we, the authors, used ourselves as subjects; after confirming our romantic relationship, we employed portable electroencephalography (EEG) to record neural activity in the prefrontal cortex during resting states (both with eyes open and closed). Data collection occurred irregularly over a period of around two months, resulting in 13 EEG data trials per individual. We found that there was a consistent decrease in the high alpha band neural activity under the closed-eye state for both of us over the two-month period, suggesting a potential correlation with the neural activity changes in the early stage of the romantic relationship. Further analysis revealed that this decrease was driven by changes in periodic components rather than non-periodic components. This study is the first to reveal a significant change in the alpha oscillatory activity of the prefrontal cortex in a couple during the initial two months after confirming their romantic relationship, which will further impact the understanding of the mechanism of alpha sub-oscillations and their application in the study of emotions process.
Variations in iron profile among dialysis adherent chronic kidney disease patients and compare with the non-adherence chronic kidney disease patients
Authors: Ogolla Collince Odiwuor , Karani Lucy W. , Musyoki Stanslaus , Maruti Phidelis 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) constitutes one of the most important global health challenges and iron deficiency (ID) anemia are both frequent complications, especially in patients on dialysis. Dialysis treatment is an important aspect of addressing these complications, yet the treatment adherence rate is low in CKD patients and the association between dialysis adherence and differences in iron profiles among CKD patients is unclear.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess differences in iron profile in dialysis-adherent and non-adherent chronic kidney disease subjects and analyze the profiles between both groups.
Methods: One hundred twenty patients undergoing hemodialysis were included in this cross-sectional study, divided into two groups based on two subcategories of dialysis adherence- adherent (n=60) and nonadherent (n=60). The parameters of iron profile-also defined as serum ferritin, transferrin saturation (TSAT), hemoglobin, and serum iron-were studied. Further, multivariate regression analysis was carried out, adjusting possible confounders such as age, sex, diabetes, and duration of dialysis. Results: Serum ferritin was significantly higher among patients in the adherent group when compared with those in the non-adherent group (235.6 120.2 ng/mL vs. 185.2 105.3 ng/mL; p=0.03), TSAT (33.4 9.3% vs. 28.8 10.2%; p=0.02), and hemoglobin level (11.5 1.8 g/dL vs. 10.2 2.1 g/dL; p=0.04). That is, non-adherence to the therapy was associated with a significantly higher number of patients having iron deficiency anemia (63% in non-adherent vs. 40% in adherent patients; p=0.01). Multivariate analysis confirmed that dialysis adherence was independently associated with better iron status (p<0.05 for all parameters).
Conclusion:In hemodialysis patients, adherence to dialysis presents as a strong predictor of better iron profile. More "iron parameters" were better and showed a decreased reliance on iron deficiency anemia for adherents. Such improvement, however, may significantly reduce anemia-associated complications through strategies that improve adherence to dialysis treatment by optimizing iron metabolism among chronic kidney disease patients.
Identification of the nature of recycled carbonates in the mantle: Insights from Mo-Mg isotopic pair
Authors: Lei Ming , Guo Zhengfu , Dingwell Donald B. , Li Jie , Chen Jianlin 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
It is generally accepted that carbon from Earth’s surface can be recycled into the mantle during oceanic subduction, thereby playing an important role in the global carbon cycle. However, evidence as to whether the mantle contains recycled carbonates, and of which types, remains ambiguous. Here, we present Mo-Mg isotopic data for two distinct mafic rock types in the Lhasa terrane, southern Tibet: the Taruocuo gabbros and Zhongba basalts. These units were formed in response to Neo-Tethys oceanic subduction at the sub-arc and post-arc depths of the mantle, respectively. Our results, combined with existing data, show that the Late Cretaceous (ca. 90 Ma) Taruocuo gabbros with arc-like geochemical characteristics (e.g., Nb–Ta depletions) have high δ98/95Mo (0.19‰ to 0.61‰) and mantle-like δ26Mg (−0.29‰ to −0.22‰) values. In contrast, the Early Cenozoic (ca. 52 Ma) Zhongba basalts with ocean island basalt-like geochemical signatures (e.g., Nb–Ta enrichments) have low δ98/95Mo (−0.66‰ to −0.24‰) and δ26Mg (−0.38‰ to −0.30‰) values. Neither shallow processes (e.g., alteration, crustal contamination, and fractional crystallization) nor partial melting can explain the Mo-Mg isotopic features of the Taruocuo gabbros and Zhongba basalts. Thus, we infer that the Mo-Mg isotopic features of the Taruocuo gabbros and Zhongba basalts may well reflect their source characteristics. We argue that the Taruocuo gabbros were derived from a mantle source that contained recycled Ca-rich carbonates at the sub-arc depths. In contrast, the Zhongba basalts appear to have been derived from a mantle source containing recycled Mg-rich carbonates and some oceanic crust in the form of eclogite at the post-arc depths. Our findings suggest that recycled carbonate sediments at the sub-55 arc depths of the mantle may increase its δ98/95Mo values without significantly affecting δ26Mg values, whereas recycled carbonate sediments at the post-arc depths of the mantle would decrease both δ98/95Mo and δ26Mg values. Therefore, the Mo-Mg isotopic pair may be a unique tool for determining whether the mantle contains recycled carbonates and for identifying the types of carbonates involved during oceanic subduction.

Published: January 2025

Abstract:
Targeted therapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) appears to have great potential
with lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). The advances in LNP-based techniques, such as liposomes,
exosomes, micelles, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), nano-cubosomes, and plant-
derived LNPs (PDLNPs), are explored in detail in this thorough review. Every platform
provides distinct advantages: liposomes enable precise drug release and improved
delivery; exosomes function as organic nanocarriers for focused treatment; SLNs offer
greater stability; micelles enhance drug solubility and resistance; nano-cubosomes tackle
low bioavailability; and PDLNPs offer biocompatible substitutes. The mechanisms, benefits,
drawbacks, and therapeutic potential of these LNP platforms in the treatment of
colorectal cancer are highlighted in the review. The review highlights how crucial it is to
use these technologies for efficient CRC management and looks at potential future developments
for them. The controlled release properties of liposomes and solid liposome
nanoparticles (SLNs) improve the stability and bioavailability of medicinal compounds.
On the other hand, exosomes and micelles provide answers for medication resistance
and solubility issues, respectively. Novel strategies for resolving bioavailability
problems and enhancing biocompatibility include nano-cubosomes and PDLNPs. These
LNP-based systems are promising in clinical applications for boosting therapeutic efficacy,
decreasing systemic toxicity, and facilitating tailored drug delivery. By incorporating
these nanotechnologies into CRC treatment plans, present therapeutic approaches may
be completely changed, and more individualized and efficient treatment choices may be
provided. To completely comprehend the advantages and drawbacks of these LNP systems
in therapeutic settings, as well as to and optimize them, more study is recommended
by the review. Treatment for colorectal cancer may be much improved in the future
thanks to developments in LNP-based drug delivery systems. These technologies hold
great promise for improving patient outcomes and advancing the field of oncology by
tackling important issues related to medication delivery and bioavailability.
