description: Shenghui Yizhi Decoction (SHYZD) has exhibited the capacity to enhance cognitive function and learning abilities in individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) while ameliorating pre-existing neuroinflammation. Nevertheless, the precise mechanism underlying its therapeutic effects on AD remains to be elucidated. Twenty-four male SAMP8 mice were randomly divided into three groups, and eight male SAMR1 mice were used as a blank control, to examine their learning and spatial memory abilities. The expression of amyloid β1-42 (Aβ1-42) was detected by immunohistochemical staining of hippocampal tissue. ELISA was used to detect the interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expressions. Real time PCR was used to detect NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3), cysteine protease-1 (Caspase-1), and IL-1β mRNA expression. Western blot was used to detect nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), inhibitor of NF-κB α (IκBα), IκB kinase α (IKKα), NLRP3, Caspase-1, and IL-1β protein expression. In this study, SAMP8 mice, employed as an AD model, displayed markedly diminished abilities in terms of spatial localization, navigation, and spatial exploration when compared to the blank control group. Additionally, there was a substantial upregulation of Aβ1-42 expression in the hippocampus of these mice, along with a significant increase in the levels of inflammation-associated factors, including IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, NLRP3, Caspase-1, as well as the NF-κB pathway-related proteins, namely, NF-κB, IκBα, and IKKα. Moreover, after treatment with positive drugs (donepezil hydrochloride) and SHYZD, the learning abilities of the mice exhibited significant improvements. Furthermore, the hallmark AD protein Aβ1-42, inflammatory factors, and NF-κB/NLRP3 signalling pathway proteins were significantly reduced. These findings collectively suggest that SHYZD exerts a therapeutic effect on AD. In summary, the specific molecular mechanisms through which SHYZD alleviates AD and the potential role for SHYZD in the NF-κB/NLRP3 signalling pathway are identified in this study.

description: Genus Orybina Snellen, 1895
Oryba Walker, 1863. Type species: Oryba flaviplaga Walker, 1863.
Orybina Snellen, 1895. Type species: Oryba flaviplaga Walker, 1863. Hirayamaia Marumo, 1917. Type species: Oryba regalis Leech, 1889.
Adult. Wingspan 24.0–43.0 mm. Frons covered with smooth scales. Labial palpus in male rostriform (Fig. 9), about two times as long as head, third segment rounded or pointed at apex; labial palpus in female (Fig. 10) slenderer than in male, about three to four time as long as head. Maxillary palpus brush-shaped in male, filiform in female. Antenna with a row of cilia along anterior margin. Forewing broad; ground color reddish-brown or saffron, with a yellow spots, indistinct or absent in some species; postmedial line conspicuous. Hindwing broad triangular, with conspicuous postmedial line. Venation (Fig. 11): forewing with R3 to apex, R3 and R4 stalked, R5 stalked with R3+4, R3+4+5 and M1 short-stalked at base, M2 and M3 stalked or approximated at lower angle of cell, 1A+2A furcated at base; hindwing with Sc+R1 and Rs adjacent at middle of Sc+R1, Rs and M1 short-stalked, M2 and M3 from lower angle of cell.
Male genitalia. Uncus triangular or tongue-shaped. Gnathos lateral arms bandlike, distal process rod-shaped or thorn-shaped. Valva broad, usually enlarged at apex; clasper present. Juxta oval, concave on posterior margin. Phallus cylindrical, with sclerotized plate of varied shape distally; cornutus absent.
Female genitalia. Apophyses anteriores slightly longer than apophyses posteriores. Antrum usually funnelshaped, bursal ring well-sclerotized; ductus bursae membranous, longer than corpus bursae, usually coiled. Corpus bursae ovate, signum absent.
Diagnosis. Orybina is superficially similar to Trebania Ragonot, 1891 in the labial palpus with the second and third segments triangular or rostriform. However, Orybina can be distinguished from Trebania by having the forewing with a conspicuous spot placed at or below costa on the inner margin of the postmedial line (absent in Trebania), the triangular or tongue-shaped uncus (oval in Trebania), and the sturdy phallus without cornutus in male genitalia (slim and having cornutus in Trebania).

description: Anxiety and depression are common comorbidities in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) that impair health-related quality of life. However, there is a lack of studies focusing on the mental disorder of IPF after antifibrotic treatment and their related predictive factors. Patients with an initial diagnosis of IPF were enrolled. Data on demographics, lung function, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9), Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15), and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire total score(SGRQ-T) were collected. Changes in anxiety, depression, somatic symptoms, and quality of life scores before and after nintedanib treatment were compared, and the related predictive factors were analyzed. A total of 56 patients with a first diagnosis of IPF were enrolled, with 42 and 35 patients suffering from anxiety and depression, respectively. The GAD-7, PHQ-9, PHQ-15, and SGRQ scores were higher in the anxiety and depression groups. SGRQ total score (SGRQ-T) [OR = 1.075, 95%CI= (1.011, 1.142)] was an independent predictor of IPF combined with anxiety (p < 0.05); SGRQ-T [OR = 1.080, 95%CI= (1.001, 1.167)] was also an independent predictor of IPF combined with depression (p < 0.05). After treatment, GAD-7, PHQ-9, PHQ-15, and SGRQ scores decreased (p < 0.05). ΔSGRQ-T significantly affected ΔGAD-7 (β = 0.376, p = 0.009) and ΔPHQ-9 (β = 0.329, p = 0.022). Anxiety and depression in IPF patients are closely related to somatic symptoms, pulmonary function, and quality of life. The SGRQ-T score is of great value for assessing anxiety and depression in patients with IPF. Short-term treatment with nintedanib antifibrotic therapy can alleviate anxiety and depression in IPF patients.

Discussion Te single, large otolith of 3.3 mm in length is readily recognized by the slightly convex inner face and the flat outer face, the parallelogram-like shape, and the postdorsal projection being markedly bent outward. Te sulcus shows a shoe sole shape with moderate ostial lobe, and the subcaudal iugum is clearly discernable despite erosion. Gobius reichenbacherae was a common and widespread species in the middle Miocene of the Mediterranean and Paratethys and the late Miocene of the Mediterranean (Schwarzhans et al., 2020a, 2020b).

description: The tumor burden within the axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) constitutes a pivotal factor in breast cancer, serving as the primary determinant for treatment decisions and exhibiting a close correlation with prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the potential of ultrasound-based radiomics and clinical characteristics in non-invasively distinguishing between low tumor burden (1-2 positive nodes) and high tumor burden (more than 2 positive nodes) in patients with node-positive breast cancer. A total of 215 patients with node-positive breast cancer, who underwent preoperative ultrasound examinations, were enrolled in this study. Among these patients, 144 cases were allocated to the training set, 37 cases to the validation set, and 34 cases to the testing set. Postoperative histopathology was used to determine the status of ALN tumor burden. The region of interest for breast cancer was delineated on the ultrasound image. Nine models were developed to predict high ALN tumor burden, employing a combination of three feature screening methods and three machine learning classifiers. Ultimately, the optimal model was selected and tested on both the validation and testing sets. In addition, clinical characteristics were screened to develop a clinical model. Furthermore, Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) values were utilized to provide explanations for the machine learning model. During the validation and testing sets, the models demonstrated area under the curve (AUC) values ranging from 0.577 to 0.733 and 0.583 to 0.719, and accuracies ranging from 64.9% to 75.7% and 64.7% to 70.6%, respectively. Ultimately, the Boruta_XGB model, comprising five radiomics features, was selected as the final model. The AUC values of this model for distinguishing low from high tumor burden were 0.828, 0.715, and 0.719 in the training, validation, and testing sets, respectively, demonstrating its superiority over the clinical model. The developed radiomics models exhibited a significant level of predictive performance. The Boruta_XGB radiomics model outperformed other radiomics models in this study.

(Figs 1–15)
urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 15244304-1BD6-4054-B414-CB8216E4F5C7
Type species. Hamadiana chapadensis sp. n. by present designation.
Description. The new genus is unique among Laccophilini in having the hind margin of metacoxal process deeply incised and medially slightly protruded backwards (Fig. 9). Other diagnostic characters are: antennomeres simple, not expanded; metacoxal lines not straight, converging anteriad in posterior 3/4 of their length, slightly diverging anteriad in anterior 1/4 (Fig. 9); metatibia with two simple apical spurs (Fig. 6). Moreover, the last metatarsomere is bilobed, with inner lobe long and acute and outer lobe about half shorter; the single metatarsal claw is curved, apically rounded and short, about as long as the outer lobe of last metatarsomere (Fig. 11).
Etymology. This genus is named after Neusa Hamada, INPA, in recognition of her significant contribution to the knowledge of aquatic insects in Amazonia. The gender of the name is feminine.
Discussion. Among the Neotropical genera of Laccophilini, the new genus is easily differentiated from Laccophilus and Napodytes in having two simple apical spurs on metatibiae (single apical spur in Napodytes and two apically bifid spurs in Laccophilus). This character is shared with Laccodytes and Laccomimus, but Hamadiana gen. n. can be differentiated from these two genera by the shape of metacoxal processes, which are unique in having the hind margin strongly incised and medially protruded backwards (Fig. 9). From Laccodytes, the new genus can be distinguished by the metacoxal lines converging anteriad in posterior 3/4 of their length, slightly diverging anteriad in anterior 1/4 (straight in Laccodytes) and by the larger body (more than 3 mm in length in Hamadiana gen. n. and less than 2.4 mm in Laccodytes). From Laccomimus, Hamadiana gen. n. differs also in having the prosternal process elongate and apically acute (relatively short and apically rounded in Laccomimus), in the mesotibial spurs not longer than mesotarsomeres 1–2 (longer than mesotarsomeres 1–4 in Laccomimus) and in the larger body (more than 3 mm in length in Hamadiana gen. n. and less than 2.5 mm in Laccomimus).

Remarks. While Mesobiotus harmsworthi sensu lato has a cosmopolitan distribution (McInnes 1994), we think the presence of M. harmsworthi sensu stricto in Africa is questionable. Originally described from Zemlya Frantsa- Iosifa in Arctic Russia (Murray 1907c), M. harmsworthi is now considered a species group, with a number of very similar species (all requiring careful taxonomic analysis of adults and egg morphology—see Kaczmarek et al. 2011 for diagnostic key). This is particularly emphasised by the presence of taxa reported from Africa (e.g. M. diffusus, M. nuragicus, etc.).

WENO scheme on characteristics for the equilibrium dispersive model of chromatography with generalized Langmuir isotherms

description: Column chromatography is a laboratory and industrial technique used to separate different substances mixed in a solution. Mathematically, it can be modelled using non-linear partial differential equations whose main ingredients are the adsorption isotherms, which are non-linear functions modelling the affinity between the different substances in the solution and the solid stationary phase filling the column. The goal of this work is twofold. Firstly, we aim to extend the techniques of Donat, Guerrero and Mulet (Appl. Numer. Math. 123 (2018) 22-42) to other adsorption isotherms. In particular, we propose a family of generalized Langmuir-type isotherms and prove that the correspondence between the concentrations of solutes in the liquid phase (the primitive variables) and the conserved variables is well defined and admits a global smooth inverse that can be computed numerically. Secondly, to establish the well-posedness of the mathematical model, we study the eigenstructure of the Jacobian of the mentioned correspondence and use this characteristic information to get oscillation-free sharp interfaces on the numerical approximate solutions. To do so, we determine the structure of the Jacobian matrix of the system and use it to deduce its eigenstructure. We combine the use of characteristic-based numerical fluxes with a second-order implicit-explicit scheme proposed in the cited reference and perform some numerical experiments with Tóth's adsorption isotherms to demonstrate that the characteristic-based schemes produce accurate numerical solutions with no oscillations, even when steep gradients appear in the solutions.

description: Periodic recurrence is a prominent behavioural of many biological phenomena, including cell cycle and circadian rhythms. Although deterministic models are commonly used to represent the dynamics of periodic phenomena, it is known that they are little appropriate in the case of systems in which stochastic noise induced by small population numbers is actually responsible for periodicity. Within the stochastic modelling settings automata-based model checking approaches have proven an effective means for the analysis of oscillatory dynamics, the main idea being that of coupling a period detector automaton with a continuous-time Markov chain model of an alleged oscillator. In this paper we address a complementary aspect, i.e. that of assessing the dependency of oscillation related measure (period and amplitude) against the parameters of a stochastic oscillator. To this aim we introduce a framework which, by combining an Approximate Bayesian Computation scheme with a hybrid automata capable of quantifying how distant an instance of a stochastic oscillator is from matching a desired (average) period, leads us to identify regions of the parameter space in which oscillation with given period are highly likely. The method is demonstrated through a couple of case studies, including a model of the popular Repressilator circuit.

description: Dark patterns and deceptive designs (DPs) are user interface elements that trick people into taking actions that benefit the purveyor. Such designs are widely deployed, with special varieties found in certain nations like Japan that can be traced to global power hierarchies and the local socio-linguistic context of use. In this breaking work, we report on the first user study involving Japanese people (n=30) experiencing a mock shopping website injected with simulated DPs. We found that Alphabet Soup and Misleading Reference Pricing were the most deceptive and least noticeable. Social Proofs, Sneaking in Items, and Untranslation were the least deceptive but Untranslation prevented most from cancelling their account. Mood significantly worsened after experiencing the website. We contribute the first empirical findings on a Japanese consumer base alongside a scalable approach to evaluating user attitudes, perceptions, and behaviours towards DPs in an interactive context. We urge for more human participant research and ideally collaborations with industry to assess real designs in the wild.

2020a Odondebuenia agiadiae —Schwarzhans, Brzobohatý & Radwańska: pl. 6, figs. 12–22.
Material 7 otoliths: 2 specimens, Mlyntsi, NMNHU-P PI 2570; 5 specimens, Kozatskyi Yar, NMNHU-P PI 2569 and NMB 1219.
Discussion Otoliths of O. agiadiae are characterized by the preventral projection being stronger than the postdorsal one, a depressed predorsal region, and a small, rather narrow sulcus with reduced sole shape and without a subcaudal iugum. Outline and proportions were found to vary considerably in the original description by Schwarzhans et. al. (2020a); this variability is confirmed here. Odondebuenia agiadiae is apparently a species that preferred near-reef environments, such as Lakšárská Nová Ves (late Badenian of Slovakia) or Węglinek (early Badenian of Poland), and is now also confirmed in the back-reef environment of the Medobory Reef.

description: Patients with hip fractures frequently need to receive perioperative transfusions of concentrated red blood cells due to preoperative anemia or surgical blood loss. However, the use of perioperative blood products increases the risk of adverse events, and the shortage of blood products is prompting us to minimize blood transfusion. Our study aimed to construct a machine learning algorithm predictive model to identify patients at high risk for perioperative transfusion early in hospital admission and to manage their patient blood to reduce transfusion requirements. This study collected patients hospitalized for hip fractures at a university hospital from May 2016 to November 2022. All patients included in the analysis were randomly divided into a training set and validation set according to 70:30. Eight machine learning algorithms, CART, GBM, KNN, LR, NNet, RF, SVM, and XGBoost, were used to construct the prediction models. The models were evaluated for discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility, and the best prediction model was selected. A total of 805 patients were included in the study, of whom 306 received transfusions during the perioperative period. We screened eight features used to construct the prediction model: age, fracture time, fracture type, hemoglobin, albumin, creatinine, calcium ion, and activated partial thromboplastin time. After evaluating and comparing the performance of each of the eight models, the model constructed by the XGBoost algorithm had the best performance, with MCC values of 0.828 and 0.939 in the training and validation sets, respectively. In addition, it had good calibration and clinical utility in both the training and validation sets. The model constructed by the XGBoost algorithm has the best performance, using this model to identify patients at high risk for transfusion early in their admission and promptly incorporating them into a patient blood management plan can help reduce the risk of transfusion.
