description: BackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of intermittent treatment of parathyroid hormone (PTH (1-34)) on the bone regeneration of critically-sized rat calvarial bone defects.Material and MethodsThirty-two male rats were trephined (4mm fullthickness diameter), in the central part of the parietal bones and divided into 2 groups of 16. The PTH group received subcutaneous injections of PTH (1-34) at 40µg/kg, 3 times a week and the control (CTL) group received the vehicle in the same regimen. The rats were sacrificed at 4 weeks post-treatment regimen, the parietal bones were extracted and samples were evaluated through histomorphometry and radiodensitometry.ResultsThe histological observations showed that the PTH group presented more “island-like” new bone between the defect margins with fibrous tissues than did the CTL group. The PTH group significantly exhibited greater histologic bone formation than did the CTL group (1.5mm ±0.7; 1.9 mm ± 0.6, p<0.05/ for residual bone defect). The radiodensitometry analysis revealed significant differences among the PTH and CTL groups (2.1 Al eq. ±0.04; 1.8Al eq. ±0.06, p<0.05), demonstrating an increase in bone mineral density. The PTH treatment contributed to the bone formation with a higher amount of mineral and/or fibrous tissue when compared with the CTL group.ConclusionsThe results suggest that it was possible to increase the process of bone regeneration by accelerating the healing process in rat calvarial defects through intermittent administration of the PTH treatment. Key words: Bone, skull, rats, bone regeneration, bone density.

description: Chemotherapy is a general treatment option for various cancers, including lung cancer. In order to find compounds with superior bioactivity and less toxicity against lung cancer, novel spin-labeled 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) derivatives (3a–f) were synthesized and evaluated against four human tumor cell lines (A-549, DU-145, KB, and KBvin). Two promising compounds 3d and 3f exhibited IC50 values of 2.76 and 2.38 μM, respectively, against non-small cell lung carcinoma cell line A-549. These compounds were twofold more cytotoxic than 5-FU and less toxic against other tested cell lines. Compound 3f exhibited seven times more selective cytotoxicity against A-549 than 5-FU. Our results suggest that compounds 3d and 3f merit further investigation for development into clinical trial candidates for non-small cell lung cancer.

description: We analyze the effect on poverty of a significant increase in the minimum wage using a quasi-experimental situation in Mexico. In January 2019, the Mexican government announced an increase in the minimum wage: in most of the country it increased by 16 per cent, while in 43 municipalities along the U.S. border it increased by 100 per cent. Using household surveys and the official method for calculating labor income poverty, we implement difference-in-difference and synthetic control methodologies to estimate whether this policy affected poverty in Mexico. We find that poverty along the border decreased by 2.6–3.0 percentage points (11–13 per cent) due to the larger increase in the minimum wage. Poverty was reduced mainly by reducing the flow from non-poverty into poverty. However, poverty intensity increased, mainly because the policy did not affect the share of families without labor income among the poorest households.

description: A series of novel spin-labeled 4β-[(4-substituted)-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl]podophyllotoxin derivatives (17a–h) were firstly designed and synthesized with significant regioselectivity by employing Cu(I) catalyzed click approach, and evaluated for cytotoxicity against four human tumor cell lines (A-549, DU145, KB, and KBvin). Among them, compound 17h displayed the highest cytotoxic activity against the tumor cell lines tested. Significantly, compound 17h showed superior cytotoxic activity compared with etoposide (IC50 6.30 to>10 μM), a clinically available anticancer drug. Significant activity toward the drug resistant KBvin cell line revealed promising future for compound 17h as a new generation of epipodophyllotoxin-derived antitumor clinical trial candidate.

description: Insecticide resistance represents a major threat for the control of insect vectors. In last years, genetically-based tools have been proposed as a cutting-edge alternative to counteract this problem. However, high-quality -omics resources are crucial for an effective application of these tools. Here, we presented a de novo transcriptome of the mosquito vector Culex pipiens, assembled by using sequences of susceptible and diflubenzuron-resistant individuals. A total of 437,233,732 reads were assembled and annotated and the high-quality of the assemblage was confirmed by TransRate and BUSCO. A mapping percentage until 94.8% was obtained by aligning contigs to Nr, SwissProt, and TrEMBL, with 27,281 sequences that simultaneously mapped on the three databases. A total of 14,966 ORFs were also functionally annotated by using the eggNOG database. A comparison through the orthologues with other five mosquito species further validated the quality of the Cx. pipiens transcriptome. This resource represents therefore a valuable reference for further investigations about mosquito biology, their adaptation to insecticides, as well as to identify target sequences for genetic-based control tools.

description: This review discusses recent progress in the development of anti-HIV agents targeting the viral entry process. The three main classes (attachment inhibitors, co-receptor binding inhibitors, and fusion inhibitors) are further broken down by specific mechanism of action and structure. Many of these inhibitors are in advanced clinical trials, including the HIV maturation inhibitor bevirimat, from the authors’ laboratories. In addition, the CCR5 inhibitor maraviroc has recently been FDA-approved. Possible roles for these agents in anti-HIV therapy, including treatment of virus resistant to current drugs, are also discussed.

description: Olfactory dysfunction is common among older adults and affects their safety, nutrition, quality of life, and mortality. More importantly, the decreased sense of smell is an early symptom of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson disease (PD) and Alzheimer disease. However, the genetic determinants for the sense of smell have been poorly investigated. We here performed the first genome-wide meta-analysis on the sense of smell among 6252 US older adults of European descent from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, the Health, Aging, and Body Composition (Health ABC) study, and the Religious Orders Study and the Rush Memory and Aging Project (ROS/MAP). Genome-wide association study analysis was performed first by individual cohorts and then meta-analyzed using fixed-effect models with inverse variance weights. Although no SNPs reached genome-wide statistical significance, we identified 13 loci with suggestive evidence for an association with the sense of smell (Pmeta < 1 × 10−5). Of these, 2 SNPs at chromosome 17q21.31 (rs199443 in NSF, P = 3.02 × 10−6; and rs2732614 in KIAA1267–LRRC37A, P = 6.65 × 10−6) exhibited cis effects on the expression of microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT, 17q21.31) in 447 frontal-cortex samples obtained postmortem and profiled by RNA-seq (P < 1 × 10−15). Gene-based and pathway-enrichment analyses further implicated MAPT in regulating the sense of smell in older adults. Similar results were obtained after excluding participants who reported a physician-diagnosed PD or use of PD medications. In conclusion, we provide preliminary evidence that the MAPT locus may play a role in regulating the sense of smell in older adults and therefore offer a potential genetic link between poor sense of smell and major neurodegenerative diseases.

description: When an initially entangled pair of qubits undergoes local decoherence processes, there are a number of ways in which the original entanglement can spread throughout the multipartite system consisting of the two qubits and their environments. Here we report theoretical and experimental results regarding the dynamics of the distribution of entanglement in this system. The experiment employs an all optical set-up in which the qubits are encoded in the polarization degrees of freedom of two photons, and each local decoherence channel is implemented with an interferometer that couples the polarization to the path of each photon, which acts as an environment. We monitor the dynamics and distribution of entanglement and observe the transition from bipartite to multipartite entanglement and back, and show how these transitions are intimately related to the sudden death and sudden birth of entanglement. The multipartite entanglement is further analyzed in terms of 3- and 4- partite entanglement contributions, and genuine four-qubit entanglement is observed at some points of the evolution.

description: The scientific discovery process has been deeply influenced by the data deluge started at the beginning of this century. This has caused a profound transformation in several scientific domains which are now moving towards much more open and collaborative approaches.
 In the context of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative launched by the European Commission (EC), the ENES Data Space represents a domain-specific implementation of the data space concept, a digital ecosystem supporting the climate community towards a more sustainable, effective, and FAIR use of data. More in detail, the ENES Data Space aims to provide scientists with an open, scalable and cloud-enabled science gateway for climate data analysis on top of the EGI Federated Cloud infrastructure. The service, developed in the context of the EGI-ACE EU project, provides ready-to-use compute resources and datasets, as well as a rich ecosystem of open source Python modules and community-based tools (e.g., CDO, NCO, Xarray, Dask, PyOphidia, Cartopy, Matplotlib, etc.), all made available through the user-friendly JupyterLab interface. In particular, the ENES Data Space provides access to a multi-terabyte set of specific variable-centric collections from large-scale global experiments to support researchers in realistic climate model analysis experiments. The data pool consists of a mirrored subset of the CMIP (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project) climate model datasets from the ESGF (Earth System Grid Federation) federated archive. Results and output products as well as experiment definitions (in the form of Jupyter Notebooks) can be easily shared among users through data sharing services integrated in the infrastructure.

description: This paper examines the impact of a rural road improvement project on schooling decisions and youth employment in Morocco. Paved rural roads are expected to reduce travel time and costs, allowing additional school choices and increasing the motivation for youth to enter higher education. On the other hand, immediate earning opportunities created by new connections may encourage youth to seek paid employment. Thus, the impact of rural road improvement on schooling and youth employment warrants empirical investigation. We employ a difference-in-differences estimation using a household-level dataset collected under a quasi-experimental setting. First, we do not observe any positive effect on primary school completion for either sex, but we find a positive and significant effect on secondary school attainment or above for females. Moreover, the higher educational attainment of females is associated with a lower proportion of early marriage. Second, we do not observe any significant effects on self-employment for either sex, but we find a positive and significant effect on wage employment for males, which is pronounced among the better educated. Our findings reveal sharp gendered differences in the impact of the rural road improvement project, with increased motivation towards better education for females and paid work for males.

description: Two decades of experimental research indicates that spatial confinement of glass-forming molecular and polymeric liquids results in major changes of their slow dynamics beginning at large confinement distances. A fundamental understanding remains elusive given the generic complexity of activated relaxation in supercooled liquids and the major complications of geometric confinement, interfacial effects and spatial inhomogeneity. We construct a predictive, quantitative, force-level theory of relaxation in free-standing films for the central question of the nature of the spatial mobility gradient. The key new idea is that vapor interfaces speed up barrier hopping in two distinct, but coupled, ways by reducing near surface local caging constraints and spatially long range collective elastic distortion. Effective vitrification temperatures, dynamic length scales, and mobile layer thicknesses naturally follow. Our results provide a unified basis for central observations of dynamic and pseudo-thermodynamic measurements.

description: The Trial for Activity in Adolescent Girls (TAAG) is a multi-center group-randomized trial to reduce the usual decline in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among middle-school girls. In group-randomized trials, the group-level intraclass correlation (ICC) has a strong inverse relationship to power and a good estimate of ICC is needed to determine sample size. As a result, we conducted a substudy to estimate the school-level ICC for intensity-weighted minutes of MVPA measured using an accelerometer.

description: We explore the interplay between tunneling process and chiral interactions in the discrimination of chiral states for an ensemble of molecules in a biological environment. Each molecule is described by an asymmetric double-well potential and the environment is modeled as a bath of harmonic oscillators. We carefully analyze different time-scales appearing in the resulting master equation at both weak- and strong-coupling limits. The corresponding results are accompanied by a set of coupled differential equations characterizing optical activity of the molecules. We show that, at the weak-coupling limit, chiral interactions prohibit the coherent racemization induced by decoherence effects and thus preserve the initial chiral state. At the strong-coupling limit, considering the memory effects of the environment, Markovian behavior is observed at long times.

description: Insecticide resistance represents a major threat for the control of insect vectors. In last years, genetically-based tools have been proposed as a cutting-edge alternative to counteract this problem. However, high-quality -omics resources are crucial for an effective application of these tools. Here, we presented a de novo transcriptome of the mosquito vector Culex pipiens, assembled by using sequences of susceptible and diflubenzuron-resistant individuals. A total of 437,233,732 reads were assembled and annotated and the high-quality of the assemblage was confirmed by TransRate and BUSCO. A mapping percentage until 94.8% was obtained by aligning contigs to Nr, SwissProt, and TrEMBL, with 27,281 sequences that simultaneously mapped on the three databases. A total of 14,966 ORFs were also functionally annotated by using the eggNOG database. A comparison through the orthologues with other five mosquito species further validated the quality of the Cx. pipiens transcriptome. This resource represents therefore a valuable reference for further investigations about mosquito biology, their adaptation to insecticides, as well as to identify target sequences for genetic-based control tools.

description: We consider the issue of summarizing accelerometer activity count data accumulated over multiple days when the time interval in which the monitor is worn is not uniform for every subject on every day. The fact that counts are not being recorded during periods in which the monitor is not worn means that many common estimators of daily physical activity are biased downward.

description: This paper studies the effect of rural taxation on Chinese peasants’ mobility towards urban areas. We find that the tax alleviation due to the tax-for-fee reform significantly reduces rural-to-urban migration, with a 10% decline in tax leading to a 10% reduction in migration. We provide compelling evidence that the result is not driven by unintended policy effects of the tax-for-fee reform in fostering rural non-agricultural job opportunities. The effect of taxation is more pronounced and precisely estimated on migration across provinces or at older ages. To the best of our knowledge this is the first study to identify the tax-induced migration among low-skilled and low-income laborers.

description: Aid and the resulting development sector have expanded in developing countries in the past decades. Many studies have explored the effects of aid, but few have studied the effects of the development sector on decisions around labor supply and occupational choice. Using primary data from Sierra Leone, this article contributes to the literature by exploring how the presence of a large development sector influences the occupational preferences of skilled workers. Four key findings emerge. First, the development sector is an attractive employment choice as the largest share of skilled jobseekers (44 percent) opt for early-career employment working for a donor organization, international NGO or local NGO. Second, there is an ability-effect as workers with higher cognitive ability are more likely to choose the development sector over the public and private sectors. Third, more prosocial jobseekers and those seeking social status from employment are more likely to prefer the development sector. And fourth, favorable perceptions of the development sector reduce the probability of choosing the public and private sectors. These findings speak to policy and should encourage development organizations to reflect on their impact on the dynamics of the labor market in countries in which they operate.
