Context.—
Integration of molecular data into glioma classification supports diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic decision-making; however, testing practices for these informative biomarkers in clinical laboratories remain unclear.

Objective.—
To examine the prevalence of molecular testing for clinically relevant biomarkers in adult and pediatric gliomas through review of a College of American Pathologists proficiency testing survey prior to the release of the 2021 World Health Organization Classification of Central Nervous System Tumors.

Design.—
College of American Pathologists proficiency testing 2020 survey results from 96 laboratories performing molecular testing for diffuse gliomas were used to determine the use of testing for molecular biomarkers in gliomas.

Results.—
The data provide perspective into the testing practices for diffuse gliomas from a broad group of clinical laboratories in 2020. More than 98% of participating laboratories perform testing for glioma biomarkers recognized as diagnostic for specific subtypes, including IDH. More than 60% of laboratories also use molecular markers to differentiate between astrocytic and oligodendroglial lineage tumors, with some laboratories providing more comprehensive analyses, including prognostic biomarkers, such as CDKN2A/B homozygous deletions. Almost all laboratories test for MGMT promoter methylation to identify patients with an increased likelihood of responding to temozolomide.

Conclusions.—
These findings highlight the state of molecular testing in 2020 for the diagnosis and classification of diffuse gliomas at large academic medical centers. The findings show that comprehensive molecular testing is not universal across clinical laboratories and highlight the gaps between laboratory practices in 2020 and the recommendations in the 2021 World Health Organization Classification of Central Nervous System Tumors.

Aims: This work investigated the phytochemical constituents and synergistic antibacterial activity of ethanolic extracts of Mondia whytei roots and Physalis peruviana leaves.
Study Design: This study employed both qualitative and quantitative methods.
Place and Duration of Study: All research works were performed at the Central Science Laboratories, Faculty of science, Kyambogo University between September 2021 and March 2022.
Methodology: Standard methods were followed for phytochemical screening of ethanolic extracts of Mondia whytei roots, and Physalis peruviana leaves. The potential synergistic antibacterial activity of ethanolic extracts were evaluated through agar well diffusion assay. The bacteria strains were cultured on Mueller-Hinton agar. Sterile cork borer (6 mm diameter) was used to create the wells on petri discs and filled aseptically with 10 µl of the test extract (100 mg/ml) and Chloramphenicol (0.5 mg/ml) was used as the positive control. The interaction between the extracts and the combined extract was assessed by determining their fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index.
Results: Alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, phenols were found to be present in both extracts. Cardiac glycosides, terpenoids, anthraquinnones and steroids were present only in ethanolic extract of Physalis peruviana leaves. The antibacterial activities of Mondia whytei roots extract, Physalis peruviana leaves extract and combined extract were obtained with the following zone of inhibitions; 19.20 ± 0.72 mm, 19.77 ± 0.60 mm, 25.93 ± 0.83 mm for S. aureus and 15.50 ± 0.46 mm, 15.00 ± 0.26 mm, 17.87 ± 0.61 mm for E.coli respectively, as compared with the standard reference antibiotic with zone of inhibitions; 26.00 ± 0.00 mm for S. aureus and 24.00 ± 0.00 mm E. coli. The MICs were determined at 0.1-100 mg/ml, and the FIC index were obtained from the evaluated MIC values with the corresponding values of 0.5 (synergistic) for S. aureus and 1.0 (additive) for E. coli.
Conclusion: The results obtained from the present study support the traditional claims of using the selected plants to treat bacterial infections. The extracts had low antibacterial activities on the selected human pathogens, Hence, if these extracts are used in unison, greater efficacy could be achieved; further studies should be done using combined extracts combined with commercial antibiotics.

Authors: Vidyalaxmi Kokkada , Divanji Gooty 
Published: July 2022

Let \(\left\{X_{n}, n \geq 1\right\}\) be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with a common distribution function F. Let \((S_{n})\) be the partial sum sequence. Set \(T_{n}=S_{n+a_{n}}-S_{n}=\sum_{k=n+1}^{n+a_{n}} X_{k}\) The sum (T_{n}\) is called a (forward) delayed sum. The present work aims to obtain a moment convergence result for the delayed sums when the random variables are in the domain of normal attraction of a stable law with an index \(\alpha ,1, < \alpha < 2 \). This result plays a vital role in studying a local limit theorem.

Authors: Olalekan Kareem Lookman , A. Adedapo Aduragbenro A. D. , Adeola Kareem Rafiat , O. Falade Catherine 
Published: July 2022

Background: Malaria and HIV infections are both major public health problems in Africa with significant morbidity and mortality. Atazanavir and artemether-lumefantrine are used in the treatment of HIV and Malaria respectively which are co-administered when there is co-infection with both diseases. Both drugs are known to independently cause cardiac electrical abnormalities. In addition, atazanavir inhibits CYP3A4 which is the enzyme that metabolizes lumefantrine with the potential for increased cardiac electrical abnormalities. We, therefore, assessed the cardiac electrical activities during the co-administration of atazanavir and artemether-lumefantrine.
Method: Forty-one consecutive HIV-infected adults attending the Anti-retroviral therapy clinic in a Nigeria General hospital were enrolled on the study using the convenience sampling technique. Study participants had electrocardiographic tracings done before (day 0) and after treatment with artemether/lumefantrine (days 3 and 7).
Result: There was an increase in the mean heart rate from day 1 through day 7 but the mean heart rates were within normal limits. In contrast, there was a progressive decline in the mean PR interval from day 0 through day 7 which was not statistically significant. There was also a significant increase in corrected QT interval (QTc) between day 0 and day 3 and day 0 and day 7. Though the value of the mean QTc on day 3 (414.83±34.88ms) and day 7 (411.41 ± 22.63ms) remained within the normal limit, 5% (2) of the participant had prolonged QTc.
Conclusion: The results of this study suggested that there may be potential drug-drug interaction resulting from the co-administration of atazanavir based antiretroviral drug and artemether-lumefantrine especially in the prolongation of QTc interval.

Authors: Renner Nrior, Renner , Ibietela Douglas, Salome , Gote Igoni, Yirabari 
Published: July 2022

Aim: The study was aimed to determine the toxicity of paraquat dichloride and lambda-cyhalothrin on phosphate solubilizing bacteria, Pantoa dispersa in aquatic ecosystems.
Study Design: This study employs randomized block design, statistical analysis of the data and interpretation.
Place and Duration of the Study: Soil sample was collected from the root nodules of leguminous plants in a sterile polythene bag from the Elele, in Etche L.G.A, Rivers State. The fresh water sample was collected from Bane town in Khana L.G.A, brackish water sample was collected from Choba river in Obio/Akpor L.G.A while the marine water was collected from Bonny River of Bonny L.G.A., all of Rivers State, Nigeria. The samples were collected aseptically and transported in an ice-pack immediately to the Rivers State University, Microbiology laboratory for analysis. The study lasted for three months.
Methodology: The bacterium, Pantoa dispersa was isolated and identified based on conventional and molecular characterization from water and soil samples. Different concentrations (3.13%, 6.25, 12.50, 25.00%, 50.00% and 75.00%) and the control (0%) of the herbicide (paraquat dichloride) and insecticide, Lambda-cyhalothrin were prepared using fresh, brackish and marine water samples and 10ml of the test organism, Pantoa dispersa was introduced and the survival count was determined at 0, 4hr, 8hr, 12hr and 24hr. The Mean Lethal Concentration (LC50) of the insecticide and herbicide on Pantoa dispersa in the three aquatic ecosystem was determined.
Results: The LC50 of the herbicide (Paraquat dichloride) was recorded as 15.8% in brackish water, 17.37% in fresh water and 27.44% in marine water. While the LC50 of the insecticide, Lambda-cyhalothrin to Pantoa dispersa was 26.84% in fresh water, 27.26% in brackish water and 32.33% in marine water.
Conclusion: From the study, the herbicide, Paraquat dichloride was more toxic in the three aquatic ecosystems compared to the insecticide, Lambda-cyhalothrin. The use of these agrochemicals should be monitored as they result in the mortality of beneficial soil bacteria like Pantoa dispersa which is phosphate solubilizing bacteria in aquatic ecosystems.
Active space control of underactuated robots: From adaptation to robustness to optimality
Authors: Azimi Vahid , Farzan Siavash , Ames Aaron D. , Vela Patricio A. , Hutchinson Seth 
Published: July 2022

SummaryThis article develops a controller for the active space control of underactuated robotic systems with the ability to adapt to unknown parameters, be robust to unmodeled dynamics and disturbances, and generate optimal control policies in a pointwise fashion. To achieve the set forth objectives, the model dynamics are first partitioned into active and passive spaces. As a remedy for nonlinear coupling between these spaces, the system's acceleration is estimated for use in the control algorithm. The modeling uncertainty associated with both unknown system parameters and unknown control map is then estimated by proposing a concurrent learning adaptive approach. An online quadratic program (QP) is synthesized utilizing an intelligent robust control Lyapunov function (IRCLF) constraint to ensure the system stability with minimal control effort while using the estimates of the unknown dynamics. The proposed IRCLF scheme automatically compensate for acceleration estimation errors, unmodeled dynamics, and disturbances without the knowledge of their bounds a priori. The uniform ultimate boundedness of all system signals is proven using the Lyapunov stability argument and Barbalat's lemma. The performance of the proposed QP‐AIR‐CLF control framework is validated on two different underactuated systems: a foot‐leg model on a deformable ground, and an overhead crane system. Simulation results show the benefits of the proposed controller over the baseline QP‐RCLF and an adaptive QP‐RCLF in terms of the control optimality, tracking accuracy, dynamic estimation performance, and robustness to disturbances.
Efficient Solution‐Processed Red Fluorescent OLEDs Using Diluted Exciplex Host to Reduce Non‐Radiative Loss of Triplet Excitons
Authors: Wang Qian , Chen Liang , Yang Qingqing , Xu Yushuai , Wang Hailong , Xie Zhiyuan 
Published: July 2022

AbstractHigh‐performance red fluorescent organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) are fabricated via a diluted exciplex host strategy to suppress non‐radiative triplet exciton loss in the exciplex sensitized fluorescent emitter system. The solution‐processed red fluorescent OLEDs based on the diluted TCTA:PO‐T2T exciplex host demonstrate higher external quantum efficiency (EQE) than the theoretical 5% limit for traditional fluorescent OLEDs. In the TCTA:PO‐T2T exciplex sensitized fluorescent emitter system, the excess content of TCTA is employed relative to PO‐T2T to manipulate the decay process of triplet excitons. A part of TCTA adjacent to PO‐T2T involves forming the exciplex pair that efficiently converts triplet excitons to singlet excitons via reverse intersystem crossing (RISC), while the other TCTA donors act as the host for the exciplex sensitizer and fluorescent emitter, which inhibits both concentration quenching of the exciplex sensitizer and short‐range dexter energy transfer from the exciplex sensitizer to the fluorescent emitter DCJTB without affecting ISC, RISC, and long‐range Föster energy transfer rate significantly. With this strategy, the formed triplet excitons can be converted to singlet excitons with reduced loss contributing to efficient fluorescent emission under electric excitation. The solution‐processed red fluorescent OLEDs achieve an EQE of 8.1%, much higher than 3.5% of the conventional exciplex sensitized OLEDs.
Selective Hydrogenation of Crotonaldehyde on SiO2‐Supported Pt Clusters: A DFT Study
Authors: Song Yang , Hu Chaoquan , Li Chang , Ma Meng 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThe selective hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde has gained considerable attention owing to its industrial applications for producing fine chemicals. Understanding the hydrogenation mechanism from density functional theory (DFT) calculations can provide insights for designing catalysts with high selectivities toward the target products. Among contemporary theoretical investigations of the hydrogenation, the calculated selectivities are not in agreement with the experimental results. Herein, a SiO2‐supported Pt nanocluster is developed, and it is used to investigate the selective hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde. The nanocluster model is used to obtain free energy barriers from DFT calculations, and these are used to build a microkinetic model. The theoretical selectivity values for the products are in agreement with the experimental results. According to the density of state analysis, this is directly attributed to the more accurate d‐band width from the Pt cluster. The contribution of each step to the final product is identified and can be used to intensify the process of generating the target product.

AbstractTemperature is one of the most relevant parameters for the regulation of intracellular processes. Measuring localized subcellular temperature gradients is fundamental for a deeper understanding of cell function, such as the genesis of action potentials, and cell metabolism. Notwithstanding several proposed techniques, at the moment detection of temperature fluctuations at the subcellular level still represents an ongoing challenge. Here, for the first time, temperature variations (1 °C) associated with potentiation and inhibition of neuronal firing is detected, by exploiting a nanoscale thermometer based on optically detected magnetic resonance in nanodiamonds. The results demonstrate that nitrogen‐vacancy centers in nanodiamonds provide a tool for assessing various levels of neuronal spiking activity, since they are suitable for monitoring different temperature variations, respectively, associated with the spontaneous firing of hippocampal neurons, the disinhibition of GABAergic transmission and the silencing of the network. Conjugated with the high sensitivity of this technique (in perspective sensitive to < 0.1 °C variations), nanodiamonds pave the way to a systematic study of the generation of localized temperature gradients under physiological and pathological conditions. Furthermore, they prompt further studies explaining in detail the physiological mechanism originating this effect.
