Nyctocrepis

description: Nyctocrepis Motschulsky, 1853: 33.
Type species: Nyctocrepis demoulini Motschulsky, 1854: 10 (original designation).
Diagnosis: Antennal branches shorter than in other cladodine genera, median lamellae only 2.3–3.5× longer than antennomere itself. Labium with apical palpomere of the right triangle shape. Anterior margin of pronotum rounded (triangularly produced forwards in Cladodes s.s.), submarginal punctures on anterolateral corners of pronotum fused, forming vitreous spots, deeper than lateral punctures, phallus as long as parameres.
Species included: Nyctocrepis demoulini Motschulsky, 1854, N. (Fenestratocladodes) malleri (Pic, 1935) comb. nov., N. stellata (Gorham, 1880) comb. nov..
Distribution: Brazil.
Comments: Considering the absence of a triangular pronotum in Fenestratocladodes (the synapomorphy of Cladodes s. str.) and a phallus as long as the parameres, the subgenus Fenestratocladodes is here placed in Nyctocrepis.

description: Motivation
Estimating the effects of interventions on patient outcome is one of the key aspects of personalized medicine. Their inference is often challenged by the fact that the training data comprises only the outcome for the administered treatment, and not for alternative treatments (the so-called counterfactual outcomes). Several methods were suggested for this scenario based on observational data, i.e. data where the intervention was not applied randomly, for both continuous and binary outcome variables. However, patient outcome is often recorded in terms of time-to-event data, comprising right-censored event times if an event does not occur within the observation period. Albeit their enormous importance, time-to-event data are rarely used for treatment optimization. We suggest an approach named BITES (Balanced Individual Treatment Effect for Survival data), which combines a treatment-specific semi-parametric Cox loss with a treatment-balanced deep neural network; i.e. we regularize differences between treated and non-treated patients using Integral Probability Metrics (IPM).
Results
We show in simulation studies that this approach outperforms the state of the art. Furthermore, we demonstrate in an application to a cohort of breast cancer patients that hormone treatment can be optimized based on six routine parameters. We successfully validated this finding in an independent cohort.
Availability and implementation
We provide BITES as an easy-to-use python implementation including scheduled hyper-parameter optimization (https://github.com/sschrod/BITES).

description: Although in the last three decades pharmaceutical industries invented good number of new drugs, resistance to antimicrobials is still prevailing due to the remarkable genetic plasticity of the microbes and drugs. In this present study, we have shown, Sphagneticola trilobata exhibited maximum zone of inhibition (20.5 ± 0.5 mm) and (20.166 ± 0.763 mm) against Streptococcus constellatus and Proteus sp. (in the case of human pathogenic bacteria) respectively and (27 ± 1mm) and (22.166 ± 0.763 mm) against Staphylococcus sciuri and Streptococcus dysgalactiae (in the case of human and animal pathogenic bacteria) respectively which were even greater than the zone of inhibition of the control. Additionally the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ratio of the plant extract was 2 or less (bactericidal) against all the tested bacterial strains. Moreover, the molecular docking studies of the compound list obtained from the Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis against Phosphoolipase C showed binding energy of −8.3Kcal/mol, −7.7Kcal/mol, and −7.5Kcal/mol respectively for CID-5318517, CID-6432640 and CID-6452077 compounds whereas sensor domain of Vbrk showed docking energy of −6.1Kcal/mol, −6.1Kcal/mol, and −6.4 Kcal/mol for CID-5318517, CID-6452077, and CID-13304974 respectively. Moreover, the CID-5318517, CID-11976203, CID-12313020 complexes exhibited the binding energy −6.7Kcal/mol, −6.1Kcal/mol, and −6.8Kcal/mol respectively while interacting with Sortase A protein. The pharmacological and bioactivity profiling showed no carcinogenic and toxic profiles along with more favourable drug properties. Our data showed the molecular geometries of the short listed compounds which proved their good molecular geometry towards the active sites of the microbial targets in DFT calculation and strong binding patterns for the docked complexes in multiple dynamics thresholds. However, these need to be further checked and additional experimental validations are required.

description: Curcumin, originally isolated as natural product from the rhizome of Curcuma longa L., is widely known for its anticancer properties. However, the clinical application of curcumin is still limited due to its poor absorption and rapid metabolism. In this study, structural modification of curcumin by introducing active small organic acids into its pyrazole ring intermediate, was employed to yield five curcumin derivatives 5a-5e. All the target compounds were characterised by 1H NMR,13C NMR and ESI-MS. Biological evaluation through the CCK-8 method indicated that nearly all these derivatives displayed higher proliferation inhibitory effect on A549 cells than that of curcumin. Among them, 5d bearing biotin moiety exhibited even stronger cytotoxicity action (2.25 μmol/L) than the positive control drug Doxorubicin (3.99 μmol/L) and therefore became the most promising lead compound for further investigation. Our findings provided a potential approach for the structural optimisation of curcumin derivatization in cancer treatment.

description: The total iridoid glycosides (TIG) from Lonicera japonica Thunb. were firstly enriched by D316 anion exchange resin, using the response surface method (RSM) model to optimise the enrichment parameters, leading to the optimised RSM parameters of 1.25 g sample weight, 8.83 h adsorption time, 3.65 BV elution volume. Quantitative analysis of TIG showed the content increased from 12.71 mg/g to 74.62 mg/g after enrichment. The TIG obtained was analysed by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS, identifying 34 iridoid glycosides. The anti-inflammatory activity of TIG was evaluated by LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells in vitro, effectively inhibiting the production of NO at the concentrations of 0.8,1.6, 3.2 mg/mL. TIG from L. japonica were successfully enriched by D316 resin to remove the abundant phenolic acids through acid-base reaction, which provided material basis for the further efficacious constituents revelation for L. japonica, as well as the further exploitation of TIG as anti-inflammatory drug.

description: To investigate the potential mechanisms of Acer tegmentosum Maxim (AT) in preventing Alcoholic liver disease (ALD), this study used network pharmacology and molecular docking methods to screen the main active ingredients of AT for preventing core target proteins related to ALD, conducted GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis and performed molecular docking and visualisation. The results showed that AT’s top five active components were kaempferol-3-rhamnoside, salidroside, linoleic acid, ethyl linoleate, and tyrosol. The top five core target proteins for preventing ALD with AT were SRC, AKT1, STAT3, MAPK1, and ESR1. Gene enrichment analysis indicated that AT may inhibit the occurrence of ALD by improving inflammation and cancer pathways, and the core components of AT were well combined with critical targets, further elucidated the preventive mechanism of ALD through multiple components, targets, and pathways. It can provide a new idea for studying the mechanism of AT active ingredients to prevent ALD.

description: Studies in the Neotropical region consistently highlight high levels of endemism and biodiversity. However, challenges persist, particularly in uncovering the cryptic diversity among species. Various approaches are needed to address this, including morphological, genetic, and environmental data. This study focused on genetic and morphological variation in three endemic, sympatric lizard species: Tropidurus hygomi, Glaucomastix abaetensis, and Glaucomastix itabaianensis in the coastal sand dunes of Northeastern Brazil. These lizards are confined to sandy Pleistocene-formed environments with limited distribution. While earlier research revealed substantial genetic diversity, gaps remained in distribution sampling, morphological data, and understanding the correlation between this variation and environmental factors. We aimed to identify genetic clusters to assess the alignment of phenotypic differences with these clusters and explore potential relationships between climatic and geographical factors and morphometric variations. We utilized mtDNA data to assess population clusters. Geometric and linear morphometrics were employed to analyze morphological data, which was then correlated with climatic information. Results unveiled genetic and morphological variations signifying the presence of cryptic diversity. Our analyses also highlighted the influence of geography and climate on morphometric variations. These findings underscore hidden diversity and a complex evolutionary history within the confined Pleistocene sand dunes. Further genomic analyses could contribute to comprehending these patterns and enhancing the conservation strategies for these endangered species.

Material examined
LAOS: 1D + 1S shells (Fig. 4G), Khone District, Champasak, South Laos (RMNH 101049); 1D + 2S shells, W.J.M. Maassen collection; 2D + 2D juveniles, Khone, South Laos, ZMB, Lehmann collection.
Remarks
Currently known only from the type locality. The unique shell characters are chirally dimorphic, conical to elongate conical; whorls weakly convex, with white subsutural band. Shell color with yellowishbrown or brownish radial streaks on pinkish to whitish ground color; dark varix present. Aperture elongated; peristome thickened, expanded and reflected; lip folded and pinkish. Parietal callus pinkish and thickened; columella pinkish and straight; umbilicus imperforated.
Laidlaw & Solem (1961) mentioned that this species is similar to the A. atricallosus leucoxanthus variety “ laidlawi ” (Solem 1965: pl. 1, fig. 3; Sutcharit & Panha 2006: fig. 4d–e). However, it differs in having a slender shell and pinkish peristome, parietal callus and inside of the aperture, while “ var. laidlawi ” has a white lip, parietal callus and inside aperture, and more depressed suture. Furthermore, A. cambojiensis (Reeve, 1860) can be distinguished from this species by having a very large and thickened shell, thickened and white parietal callus and lip, and purplish inside aperture (see Sutcharit et al. 2015).

Material examined
LAOS: 120D + 18D juveniles (Figs 3C, 4I, CUMZ 7015), 7D specimens, in ethanol (Fig. 2 C, CUMZ 7016), Thad Lor Waterfall, Salavan District, Salavan; 61D + 8D juveniles (CUMZ 7017), 2D specimens, in ethanol (CUMZ 7018), Wat Phou (Temple on the mountain), Khong Xédon District, Salavan.
Remarks
The species description, as well as the morphology of the genitalia and the radula, have been carefully presented in Sutcharit & Panha (2006), which allows an unambiguous recognition of this species. The unique characters are a relatively medium sized (compared to other members of this genus, as shown in Table 1), ovate-conical and dextral shell; apex with black spot; aperture oblique; peristome expanded and not reflected; parietal callus thin and transparent to slightly thickened and white; shell color uniform greenish with pale to yellowish color on earlier whorl, and greenish subsutural band; genitalia contain long and slender penis, short and curved epiphallus of equal length to flagellum; proximal to enlarged and coiled appendix epiphallus; appendix short.
The early records of this species were from the Ubon Ratchathani and Kalasin Provinces of Thailand, and the Luang Phrabang and Savannakhet Provinces of Laos (Sutcharit & Panha 2006). Here, two more localities from Salavan Province, Laos are added. All of the records are from dry dipterocarp to deciduous forests with sandstone hills. The snails were found in small holes on branches or tree trunks during the aestivation period (Fig. 3C).

Figs 1, 4H
Amphidromus (Amphidromus) protania Lehmann & Maassen, 2004: 17–20, figs 1–4. Type locality: South Laos, Salavan Province, near Ban Donxé Village, E bank of Se Don River.
Material examined
LAOS: Dextral, holotype (RMNH 98143, Fig. 4 H); 4D shells, paratypes (RMNH 98144).
Remarks
No specimen was found in this survey. Amphidromus protania has a very similar shell shape to that the dipterocarp forest species A. givenchyi. The genitalia contain a long and coiled proximal part of the epiphallus, with a relatively short appendix, as in A. givenchyi (Lehmann & Maassen 2004; Sutcharit & Panha 2006). However, the characters distinguishing it from A. givenchyi are the relatively smaller shell (height 26–31 mm in A. protania; Table 1), the yellowish shell color as well as the brownish subsutural and spiral bands on the periphery. Moreover, Lehmann & Maassen (2004) mentioned that the brownish banding pattern had less variation. However, a brownish spiral band on the periphery can also be observed in juvenile A. givenchyi (see Sutcharit & Panha 2006: fig. 4o). Moreover, this species occurs in dipterocarp forest within the range of A. givenchyi; therefore, it is possibly a shell color variant of A. givenchyi. Additional specimens for further anatomical and molecular study are desirable to test this hypothesis.

description: Subgenus Syndromus Pilsbry, 1900
Amphidromus (Syndromus) Pilsbry, 1900: 184.
Type species
Helix contraria Müller, 1774 by subsequent designation in Zilch (1960: 623).
Diagnosis
Shells mostly sinistral, conical to elongate conical and rather small (height 25 to 40 mm), varices absent and varying in color pattern. Genital characteristics show camaenid type with short epiphallus and flagellum, appendix absent, vaginal pouch and vaginal stimulator pilaster sometimes present. Radula teeth with spatulate shape.
The subgenus Syndromus was first nominated as “Sinistral Division” for Amphidromus with a relatively smaller sinistral coiling shell (Pilsbry 1900). Until onw, the genital characters of the type species have never been examined; only Wiegmann (1894) briefly reported on the radular and jaw structures of the type species. To clarify the genitalia and radula characters of the subgenus, spirit preserved specimens in the Zoological Museum of Amsterdam (ZMA) collection were examined and are described below.

Material examined
CAMBODIA: Lectotype, NHMUK 19601450 (Sutcharit et al. 2015: fig. 13e); paralectotype, NHMUK 19601451 (1 shell).
Remarks
The type specimens have recently been figured in Sutcharit et al. (2015: fig. 13e–f). The unique characters of this species are the sinistral, ovate conical shell; spire with a brownish color; last whorl well rounded. Shell whitish ground color, Bands 1 to 3 and 6 absent and Bands 4 and 5 perform reddish brown bands. Aperture ovate; peristome weakly expanded; lip white.
Amphidromus roemeri was described based on specimens collected by H. Mouhot with the type locality “ Laos Mountains, Camboja ”. This collection locality is a historical geographic name with an uncertain boundary. So far, this species is known only from the type specimens and an uncertain record from Laos by Laidlaw & Solem (1960: 654). However, no specimens were found in the present study; therefore the records from Laos still remain to be confirmed.
Laidlaw & Solem (1961) placed A. roemeri as a junior synonym of A. sinensis (Benson, 1851) from S China. We have examined the type specimens of both species and found that A. roemeri differs from A. sinensis by having an ovate conical, whitish shell, aperture ovate, spire short and conical, last whorl well rounded (see Sutcharit et al. 2015: fig. 13e–f). In contrast, A. sinensis (see Sutcharit et al. 2015: fig. 16g–i) has a yellowish shell, elongate conical spire, aperture auriform and the last whorl rounded. Furthermore, A. globonevilli differs by having a larger, spired conical, yellowish shell and an oblique aperture.

Figs 1, 13 S–T; Table 1
Diagnosis
The new species is superficially similar to A. roemeri, but the distinguishing characters are a relatively large and thick shell, dark to brownish spire, Bands 2 and 3 merged and become tinted pink stained, with a pale tinted pink lip. In contrast, A. roemeri shows a relatively small and thin shell, whitish ground color, Bands 2 and 3 absent, and has a white lip. Amphidromus xiengkhaungensis sp. nov. differs from A. sinensis and A. flavus by having an ovated conic shell, Bands 2 and 3 stained with tinted pink, ovate aperture and slightly angular last whorl. In comparison, A. sinensis and A. flavus have an elongate conical, relatively small and thin shell, with a yellowish color and rounded last whorl. In addition, A. globonevilli differs from this new species by having a small and thin shell, with a yellowish color, last whorl rounded and Bands 2 and 3 absent.
Etymology
The specific epithet ‘ xiengkhaungensis ’ refers to the type locality of the new species.
Type material
Holotype

Remarks: Previously known only from New Caledonia, at depths from 600 to 830 m (Stock 1991a; 1997). The present specimen, somewhat less hirsute than the type but with the characteristic large, setose abdomen, is from shallower waters. A detail not mentioned by Stock (loc. cit.) is the fine structure of the tips of the long setae found distally on the longer leg articles: in particular, those of the distal crown of the first tibia (where complete) are minutely and sparsely setulose along their length, with an anaxial, pointed distal taper (Fig. 1).

Material: New Caledonia: 1 female (MNHN­Py 1054), Lagon de Nouvelle Caledonie Campagne WOODIN, Baie Jeantau, 8 m, 22/03/2001; coll. C. Peignon.
Remarks: It is almost impossible to speciate solitary females in this genus. This specimen has an attenuated trunk, long and very slender leg articles, and sharply pointed ocular and lateral­process tubercles. The leg articles are without long spines or spine­swellings, an absence typical of, for example, E. mollis (Carpenter, 1904) but the trunk is much more attenuate than that of Carpenter’s species. Indeed, the only species of Endeis with an attenuated trunk which has been recorded from this area is E. raleighi Bamber, 1992, but the legs of that species are more compact than is shown by the present specimen. Its identity (or novelty) must await the collection of males from this area.
