Functionally relevant basal ganglia subdivisions in first-episode schizophrenia
Creators: name: Khorram, Babak
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Schizophrenia is among the most debilitating mental disorders, yet the pathophysiology remains unclear. The basal ganglia, a region of the brain involved in motor, cognitive, and sensory processes, may be involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Some, but not all, neuroimaging studies suggest abnormalities of the basal ganglia in schizophrenia. However, previous studies have examined whole basal ganglia nuclei as opposed to using a unified basal ganglia complex that incorporates anterior-posterior divisions, dorsal-ventral divisions, and gray-white matter segmentation. The hypothesis for the present study was that basal ganglia sub-regions forming functionally relevant subdivisions might be different in schizophrenia. Magnetic resonance imaging scans were acquired from 25 first-episode schizophrenia subjects and 24 healthy subjects. Using manual and automated neuroimaging techniques, total and segmented (gray-white matter) volumes were obtained for the caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus. For the striatum (caudate and putamen), total and segmented volumes were obtained for their respective sub-regions. These sub-regions were restructured into associative, limbic, and sensorimotor subdivisions. Schizophrenia subjects had 6% smaller gray matter volumes for the caudate and 8% smaller gray matter volumes for the associative striatum relative to healthy subjects. Basal ganglia function was studied by examining performance on a neuropsychological test that assesses frontostriatal functioning. For male subjects there was a significant negative correlation between volume of the associative striatum and performance on the neuropsychological test (r=-0.57, p=0.03). Smaller volumes of the associative striatum were associated with more errors on the neuropsychological test. This test was specific to the associative striatum, as another neuropsychological test did not reveal any correlation. In schizophrenia subjects, the relationship between basal ganglia volumes and motor symptoms severity was examined. For antipsychotic-naive subjects there was a significant negative correlation between volume of the motor striatum and severity of Parkinsonism (r=-0.65, p=0.03). The present study suggests that total basal ganglia nuclei volumes are not different in schizophrenia, but gray matter volumes of total basal ganglia nuclei and subdivisions forming functional units may be different in schizophrenia. Structural abnormalities involving the basal ganglia may lead to disrupted functional circuits in schizophrenia.

Conservation status in IUCN Red List
Least concern.
Remarks
This is a typical West African species, being the only representative of the genus Genuanoconus. The different names available in the literature have all been synonymised with G. genuanus. The name foscaclaudiae Assi, 2010 applied to a mere form of G. genuanus is unavailable according to the ICZN articles 45.5 and 45.6 (infrasubspecific; introduced as form after 1960). As discussed in Abalde et al. (2019), the previous placement of G. genuanus in the genus Kalloconus by Puillandre et al. (2014) was due to a misidentification of a sample in the original work (Cunha et al. 2005). A mitogenomic analysis clearly indicates that Genuanoconus is not a synonym of Kalloconus but a distantly related genus. Genuanoconus genuanus has an specialized vermivorous diet, preying on amphinomid polychaetes (fireworms) such as Hermodice carunculata (Pallas, 1766) (Rolán 2005). On the phylogenetic tree in Abalde et al. (2019), G. genuanus is recovered as sister to Rhombiconus imperialis Linnaeus, 1758, another specialised amphinomid polychaete worm eater from the Pacific Ocean. A novel bioactive guanine derivative named genuanine has been isolated from the venom duct of G. genuanus. This finding indicates that not only conopeptides, but also small molecules contribute to the activity of cone snail venoms (Neves et al. 2015).

Novel therapeutics for treating pancreatic cancer
Creators: name: Mangal, Nagina
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the most aggressive malignancies with a median 5 year-survival rate of 8%. Cannabidiol (CBD) has been found to exhibit antineoplastic potential and may potentiate the anticancer effects of gemcitabine. The biological mechanism for this synergy remains elusive but in other tumour types, CBD therapy has been linked to de novo synthesis of ceramide. The sphingolipid ceramide is a potent tumour suppressor lipid with roles in apoptosis and autophagy. The aim of this study was to establish an in vitro platform to investigate the cytotoxic mechanism of action of CBD in PDAC, evaluate the potential synergy with gemcitabine therapy, and describe the effect on ceramide induction in this pathway. The findings point to evidence of a putative ceramide synthase 1 (CerS1) dependent pathway driven by CBD in activating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress target; GRP78. Specifically, in gemcitabine resistant cells, Panc1, the activation of the GRP78/ATF4/CHOP arm of the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway was observed. In gemcitabine sensitive cells, Panc03.27, CerS1 showed enhanced upregulation of CerS1, GRP78, CHOP targets in combination with gemcitabine. The involvement of a cannabinoid receptor was analysed by viability and protein expression which showed evidence of CB2 and GPR55 expression in both human and murine cells. Cell cycle analysis showed arrest in G0-G1 phase and an increase in apoptotic cells via annexin/PI studies, indicating cell death specific effects of CBD in pancreatic cancer cells. Using an in vivo model of PDAC, we aimed to characterise if CBD could sensitise cells to gemcitabine and abraxane. No significance in survival of animals nor changes to immune populations of processed tumours were observed. However, double chemotherapy combination with co administration of CBD showed a significant reduction in tumour burden. These findings provide evidence of a cytotoxic mechanism of action of CBD in pancreatic cancer.

Conservation status in IUCN Red List
Endangered. Status revision required.
Remarks
This beautiful species is endemic to Sal Island. Its pattern of white triangular or tessellate markings on a black background color seems fairly constant. Its classification as ‘Endangered’ resulted upon considering all the populations of Kalloconus on the island as members of this species. Several phylogenetic studies (Cunha et al. 2008; Abalde et al. 2017a; Tenorio et al. 2018) have shown that under the apparently same phenotype there are actually two cryptic sister species in Sal Island, namely K. ateralbus and K. marimaris. As a consequence, the distribution range of K. ateralbus has been drastically reduced to the southwest coast of Sal Island, an area that has underwent a large touristic development in the recent years, with subsequent pressure on marine habitats. Although the species seems to be fairly common within its distribution range, the limited geographical area and the human activities indicate that an upgrade in the risk status is most likely required.

Remarks
Specimens from the type locality have not been molecularly examined. However, the mitogenome of a specimen from Senegal with a shell morphology matching that of typical K. byssinus is almost identical to that of K. pulcher (Abalde et al. 2017a). There are no significant differences between the radular teeth of K. pulcher and K. byssinus. Although we consider K. byssinus as provisionally valid only, pending molecular examination of specimens from the type locality, it is however likely that this taxon represents just a phenotypic variation of the widespread K. pulcher, typical of the northern end of its distribution range along the West African coast.

Stochastic optimization algorithms for adaptive modulation in software defined radio
Creators: name: Misra, Anup

description: Adaptive modulation has been actively researched as a means to increase spectral efficiency of wireless communications systems. In general, analytic closed form models have been derived for the performance of the communications system as a function of the control parameters. However, in systems where general error correction coding is employed, it may be difficult to derive closed form performance functions of the communications systems. In addition, in closed form optimization, real time adaptation is not possible. Systems designed with deterministic state optimization are developed offline for a certain set of parameters and hardwired into mobile devices. In this thesis we present stochastic learning algorithms for adaptive modulation design. The algorithms presented allow for adaptive modulation system design in-dependent of error correction coding and modulation constellation requirements. In real time, the performance of the system is measured and stochastic approximation techniques are used to learn the optimal transmission parameters of the system. The technique is applied to Software Defined Radio (SDR) platforms, an emerging wireless technology which is currently being researched as a means of designing intelligent communications devices. The fundamental property that sets SDR apart from traditional radios is that the communications parameters are controlled in software, allowing for real-time control of physical layer communications. Our treatment begins by modeling the time evolution of the adaptive modulation process as a general state space Markov chain. We show the existence and uniqueness of the invariant measure and model performance functions as expectations with respect to the invariant measure. We consider constrained and unconstrained throughput optimization. We show that the cost functions considered are convex. Next we present stochastic approximation algorithms that are used to estimate the gradient of the cost function given only noisy estimates. We conclude by presenting simulation results obtained by the presented method. The learning based method is able to achieve the maximum throughput as dictated by exhaustive Monte Carlo simulation of the communications system, which provide an upper bound on performance. In addition, the learning algorithm is able to optimize communications under various error correction schemes. The tracking abilities of the algorithm are also demonstrated. We see that the proposed method is able to track optimal throughput settings as constraints are changed in time.

Remarks
This recently described species was formerly identified as K. venulatus or K. ateralbus. Kalloconus venulatus is absent from Sal Island, and K. ateralbus has enough mitogenome sequence divergence to be considered a separate species, sister to K. marimaris (see above). The latter is split into two populations inhabiting areas to the east and west coasts of Sal Island. This species has some morphological similarities to K. ateralbus and hence the confusion. Kalloconus marimaris is very variable in background color, with yellow, orange, milky white or brown morphs, whereas in K. ateralbus the background color is always black.

Remarks
This name was introduced in order to solve the existing confusion with the name Conus nivifer G.B. Sowerby I, 1833 (a synonym of Conus venulatus Hwass in Bruguière, 1792) which had been incorrectly applied to shells from Cabo Verde having a bluish white background with a distinctive pattern of spiral interrupting thick lines of deep purple or dark brown and a purple aperture (Monteiro et al. 2004). The specimens of this species are morphologically very close to K. trochulus (Reeve, 1844), and in fact the latter might be considered as a patternless version of K. pseudonivifer. Previous population genetic analyses showed that most specimens of individuals identified as K. pseudonivifer from Boa Vista and Maio islands clustered with K. trochulus, with the exception of one specimen from Praia Canto in northeast Boa Vista Island (Cunha et al. 2008). We examined the mitogenome of many individuals of alleged K. pseudonivifer from Boa Vista and Maio islands (Abalde et al. 2017a). As in Cunha et al. (2008), all individuals but the one from northeast Boa Vista Island clustered together with K. trochulus (Abalde et al. 2017a). Here, we sequenced the mitogenome of a second specimen from Praia Canto in northeast Boa Vista Island, which confirmed the segregation of these two individuals from the clade grouping K. trochulus with pseudonivifer -like individuals, at a genetic distance consistent with separate species status (Fig. 2). Given the fact that the type locality of the taxon Conus pseudonivifer is “Baía das Gatas”, which is located to the northeast of Boa Vista Island, the name pseudonivifer is only applicable to specimens distributed along the east and northeast coasts of the island, whereas the specimens from other areas should be considered patterned forms of K. trochulus.
