description: This study aimed to investigate the effects of two practically relevant doses of menthol-rich plant bioactive lipid compounds (PBLC) on fermentation, microbial community composition, and their interactions in sheep rumen. Twenty-four growing Suffolk sheep were divided into three treatments and were fed hay ad libitum plus 600 g/d of concentrate containing no PBLC (Control) or PBLC at low dose (80 mg/d; PBLC-L) or high dose (160 mg/d; PBLC-H). After 4 weeks on the diets, samples of ruminal digesta were collected and analyzed for short-chain fatty acid (SCFA), ammonia, and microbiota; microbiota being analyzed in the solid and the liquid digesta fractions separately. Ruminal SCFA and ammonia concentrations were not affected by the PBLC treatments. The microbiota in the solid fraction was more diverse than that in the liquid fraction, and the relative abundance of most taxa differed between these two fractions. In the solid fraction, phylogenetic diversity increased linearly with increased PBLC doses, whereas evenness (lowest in PBLC-L) and Simpson diversity index (greatest in PBLC-H) changed quadratically. In the liquid fraction, however, the PBLC supplementation did not affect any of the microbial diversity measurements. Among phyla, Chloroflexi (highest in PBLC-L) and unclassified_bacteria (lowest in PBLC-L) were altered quadratically by PBLC. Lachnospiraceae, Bacteroidaceae (increased linearly), BS11 (increased in PBLC-L), Christensenellaceae (decreased in PBLC treatments), and Porphyromonadaceae (increased in PBLC treatments) were affected at the family level. Among genera, Butyrivibrio increased linearly in the solid fraction, YRC22 increased linearly in the liquid fraction, whereas Paludibacter increased and BF311 increased linearly with increasing doses of PBLC in both fractions. The PBLC treatments also lowered methanogens within the classes Thermoplasmata and Euryarchaeota. Correlation network analysis revealed positive and negative correlations among many microbial taxa. Differential network analysis showed that PBLC supplementation changed the correlation between some microbial taxa and SCFA. The majority of the predicted functional features were different between the solid and the liquid digesta fractions, whereas the PBLC treatments altered few of the predicted functional gene categories. Overall, dietary PBLC treatments had little influence on the ruminal fermentation and microbiota but affected the associations among some microbial taxa and SCFA.

description: Three new phenylpropanoids, 3-(3,4-dimethoxy-5-methylphenyl)-3-oxopropyl acetate (1), 3-hydroxy-1-(3,4-dimethoxy-5-methylphenyl)propan-1-one (2), and 3-hydroxy-1-(4-methylbenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-6-yl) propan-1-one (3), together with three known phenylpropanoids (4–6) were isolated from the whole plant of Lavandula angustifolia. Their structures were determined by means of HRESIMS and extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic studies. Compounds 1–6 were tested for their anti-tobacoo mosaic virus (TMV) activities and cytotoxicity activities. The results revealed that compounds 1–3 showed high anti-TMV activity with inhibition rate of 35.2, 38.4 and 33.9%. These rates are higher than that of positive control. The other compounds also showed potential anti-TMV activities with inhibition rates in the range of 26.8–28.9%, respectively. Compounds 1–6 also showed weak inhibitory activities against some tested human tumour cell lines with IC50 values in the range of 3.8–8.8 μM.

Computational Biology

description: Owing to their widespread use in a variety of technological applications, as well as their prevalence as naturally occurring phases in the environment, there is a prolific amount of computational research devoted to the surfaces of metal oxides. However, there is no standard approach for how to best represent the surface structurally in quantum mechanical modeling, specifically in the standard supercell slab geometry that is amenable to density functional theory calculations that employ periodic boundary conditions. There is a choice in both slab thickness and in how the atomic positions are treated during geometry optimisations; the atomic coordinates can either be fully relaxed or partially fixed. Constraining the atomic positions of select layers of the slab can decrease overall computational cost and is often reported to have a minimal effect on the details of the optimised geometries. In this study, we compare fully relaxed structures of alumina () and hematite () (0 0 1) surfaces to two slab models in which either one or two stoichiometric layers, denoted as trilayers, are constrained to bulk positions. We go on to study the electronic structure of the slab models, and we also assess how modeled reactivity is affected through studies of atomic chemisorption on the slab models. Our results suggest that while structural differences between partially constrained or fully relaxed slab models may be subtle, both the electronic structure and modeled reactivity can vary significantly in quantitative and qualitative ways.

description: The Na+/Mg2+ exchanger SLC41A1 (A1), a key component of intracellular Mg homeostasis (IMH), is the major cellular Mg2+ efflux system, and its overexpression decreases [Mg2+]intracellular. IMH plays an important role in the regulation of many cellular processes, including cellular signaling. However, whether the overexpression of A1 and the consequent drop of [Mg2+]i impact on intracellular signaling is unknown. To examine the latter, we utilized dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) assay, PathScan® RTK signaling antibody (PRSA) array, confirmatory Western blot (WB) analyses of phosphorylation of kinases selected by PRSA, and mag-fura 2-assisted fast filter spectrometry (FFS). We demonstrate here that the overexpression of A1 quantitatively and qualitatively changes the DMR signal evoked by the application of PAR-1-selective activating peptide and/or by changing [Mg2+]extracellular in HEK293 cells. PRSA profiling of the phosphorylation of important signaling nodes followed by confirmatory WB has revealed that, in HEK293 cells, A1 overexpression significantly attenuates the phosphorylation of Akt/PKB on Thr308 and/or Ser473 and of Erk1/2 on Thr202/Tyr204 in the presence of 0 or 1 mM (physiological) Mg2+ in the bath solution. The latter is also true for SH-SY5Y and HeLa cells. Overexpression of A1 in HEK293 cells significantly lowers [Mg2+]i in the presence of [Mg2+]e = 0 or 1 mM. This correlates with the observed attenuation of prosurvival Akt/PKB – Erk1/2 signaling in these cells. Thus, A1 expression status and [Mg2+]e (and consequently also [Mg2+]i) modulate the complex physiological fingerprint of the cell and influence the activity of kinases involved in anti-apoptotic and, hence, pro-survival events in cells.

description: Optical transmission and selective reflection data are reported for suspensions of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in photoactive nematic material ZhK-440 with a mesogenic chiral dopant M5. At small concentrations of CNTs (C ≈ 0.01–0.05%), the preferential localisation of CNTs at oily sticks (cholesteric topological defects) and suppression of the network of oily streaks by CNTs were observed. At the same time, the optical density D was shown to be essentially non-linear and a minimum at certain concentration of CNTs, C ≈ 0.05–0.08%, was observed. This anomalous behaviour was explained by the presence of the structural transition from the loose (ramified) aggregates with highly anisotropic shape (oriented along the anchoring direction on rubbed polyvinyl alcohol) to the compact aggregates with denser packing. The location of this minimum, as well as the selective reflection maximum (helical pitch), was sensitive to partially reversible UV-induced trans–cis–trans isomerisation effects. The UV-controlled helical pitch variation was shown to be only slightly affected by introduction of CNTs.

description: Quantitative structure–property relationships were developed to predict the nematic–isotropic transition temperatures of 92 pyridine-containing liquid crystalline compounds using molecular descriptors calculated by CODESSA software and DRAGON software. The descriptors were also analysed by using principal component analysis. Essentials accounting for a reliable model were all considered carefully during model construction and assessment process. Five variables were selected out by stepwise forward regression analysis and were used as inputs to perform the multiple linear regression, support vector machine and projection pursuit regression (PPR) study. All models were validated through two ways, that is, internal cross-validation combined with a test set. Comparatively, the PPR model performs best both in the fitness and in the prediction capacity. For the test set, it gave a predictive correlation coefficient (R) of 0.991, root mean square error of 11.799 and absolute average relative deviation of 5.456, respectively. The relationships between the descriptors and the nematic–isotropic transition temperature of compounds were also discussed. The odd–even effect in the transition temperatures of mesogens in the same homologous series was also discussed.

description: Two homologous series of λ-shaped chiral liquid crystal trimers composed of a laterally substituted benzylidene-aniline as the central core armed by two cholestryl ester moieties via odd-even alkyl spacer are synthesised. All the compounds are mesogenic exhibiting both chiral nematic (N*) and SmA phases except for trimers bearing long spacers (n = 9–10). A pronounced odd-even effect is observed on the phase transition temperatures and clearing enthalpies when the spacer length is varied in which the even-parity members show higher value. The widening of N* phase upon elongation of the alkyl spacer can be interpreted as a result of the destabilisation of SmA phase. Full recrystallisation from the cholesteric phase upon cooling is not observed for all the compounds bearing long spacer, especially oxydecanoyl spacer. Instead, the anisotropic fluid vitrified to form the cholesteric glassy state characteristic of polymer at low temperature. This finding is also evident from the polarising optical microscope whereby non-crystalline texture which resembles the Grandjean texture with various reflection colours is observed upon cooling to low temperature. The effect of the lateral substituents on the liquid-crystalline behaviour is also discussed.

description: The objective of this study was to determine an optimum combination of N inputs for dryland organic winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (WW). Trials were conducted on separate fields near Concord, Nebraska in 2008–2009 and 2010–2011. WW followed previous crops of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)/corn (Zea mays L.) and alfalfa/alfalfa. Cattle manure was applied at three rates (providing approximately 0, 58, and 112 kg ha−1 predicted plant available N [0, base, and double rates]), in either fall (autumn) or spring. An organic-approved foliar N was applied at three rates (0, 11, and 22 kg ha−1 N) in late spring (flag leaf stage). In Trial I, yield and N uptake were greater for fall (autumn) manure (4.0 Mg ha−1 and 82.9 kg N ha−1) than for spring manure (3.5 Mg ha−1 and 76 kg N ha−1). In Trial I, grain protein concentration was slightly improved (~2%) by both rates of foliar N and the double rate of spring manure, and slightly decreased (~2%) by both rates of fall manure. In Trial II no treatment had a clear effect on WW yield, grain protein concentration, or N uptake. In both trials the mean grain yield was 3.7 Mg ha−1 and protein concentration was above 130 g kg−1, which exceeded the requirement for bread flour. It was concluded that N was not limiting in this system; the alfalfa provided sufficient fertility for WW in both the alfalfa/corn/WW and alfalfa/alfalfa/WW crop sequences. The results indicated that livestock manure may be more effectively used for other phases of the rotation than for WW.

description: If the laser-induced grating in a close-to-collinear two-beam geometry comprises only a few grooves, then the phase between the grooves of the grating and its envelope is decisive to nonlinear effects. Here it is shown that the groove-envelope phase, which can be altered through the delay between the pulses on a subcycle timescale, determines the interferences that arise in self-diffraction. The shape of the interference pattern changes as the laser intensity approaches the damage threshold in a thin dielectric solid, and simulations show that the shape depends on the mechanisms that lead to self-diffraction.

description: Modern targeted attacks such as Advanced Persistent Threats use multiple hosts as stepping stones and move laterally across them to gain deeper access to the network. However, existing defenses lack end-to-end information flow visibility across hosts and cannot block cross-host attack traffic in real time. In this paper, we propose P4Control, a network defense system that precisely confines end-to-end information flows in a network and prevents cross-host attacks at line rate. P4Control introduces a novel in-network decentralized information flow control (DIFC) mechanism and is the first work that enforces DIFC at the network level at network line rate. This is achieved through: (1) an in-network primitive based on programmable switches for tracking inter-host information flows and enforcing line-rate DIFC policies; (2) a lightweight eBPF-based primitive deployed on hosts for tracking intra-host information flows. P4Control also provides an expressive policy framework for specifying DIFC policies against different attack scenarios. We conduct extensive evaluations to show that P4Control can effectively prevent cross-host attacks in real time, while maintaining line-rate network performance and imposing minimal overhead on the network and host machines. It is also noteworthy that P4Control can facilitate the realization of a zero trust architecture through its fine-grained least-privilege network access control.

description: Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the serum uric acid (SUA) level and the prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) in Chinese population. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among 100,226 employees (79.9% male) of the Kailuan Group using physical examination data in 2006–2007. HUA was defined as SUA >356.9 μmol/L (6.0 mg/dL) for women and SUA >416.4 μmol/L (7.0 mg/dL) for men. We investigated crude and age adjusted HUA prevalence and compared characteristics of subjects with and without HUA in men and women using multivariate logistic regression. Results: SUA levels were 244.9 ± 71.5 μmol/L in women and 302.0 ± 83.5 μmol/L in men. About 8290 (8.27%) subjects were diagnosed with HUA. Age-adjusted prevalence of HUA was 8.02% in the total sample (6.87% in women and 8.57% in men). The SUA level and HUA prevalence showed U-shaped or J-shaped associations with age. Multivariate logistic regression revealed age, waist circumference, total cholesterol, triglyceride, hypertension and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease history, prolonged sitting, alcohol consumption, and oral diuretics were independent risk factors of HUA, while long sleep duration was protective against HUA. Conclusions: The prevalence of HUA is 6.87% and 8.57% in Chinese women and men. HUA is likely related with life style and metabolic disorders.

Its construct validity was assessed through a factorial analysis; its concurrent validity was evaluated based on ecological outcomes, its convergent validity was tested against the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS II), and its reliability was estimated based on internal consistency and inter-rater reliability. Results: Overall, 215 patients were included. Our findings supported a two-factor structure which accounted for 46% of the variance. The internal consistency and inter-rater reliability were good. The convergent validity showed a strong correlation with the WHODAS II. The concurrent validity showed strong relationships with work status, independent living, level and adequacy of institutional care. Conclusions: The good psychometric properties of the scale suggest a role for this tool in assessing schizophrenia-related disability and evaluating the need for cognitive remediation.Implication for RehabilitationSchizophrenia is a chronic disorder leading to a severe psychiatric handicap.The scale showed good psychometric properties in individuals with schizophrenia and severe psychiatric disability.The scale is easy and quick to administer (about 15 min).The scale may help to identify targets for rehabilitation interventions in individuals with schizophrenia.

description: As one of the most complex post-translational modification, glycosylation is widely involved in cell adhesion, cell proliferation and immune response. Nevertheless glycoproteins with an identical polypeptide backbone mostly differ in their glycosylation patterns. Due to this heterogeneity, the mapping of different glycosylation patterns to their associated function is nearly impossible. In the last years, glycoengineering tools including cell line engineering, chemoenzymatic remodeling and site-specific glycosylation have attracted increasing interest. The therapeutic hormone erythropoietin (EPO) has been investigated in particular by various groups to establish a production process resulting in a defined glycosylation pattern. However commercially available recombinant human EPO shows batch-to-batch variations in its glycoforms. Therefore we present an alternative method for the synthesis of active glycosylated EPO with an engineered O-glycosylation site by combining eukaryotic cell-free protein synthesis and site-directed incorporation of non-canonical amino acids with subsequent chemoselective modifications.

description: Recent research indicates that affective responses during exercise are an important determinant of future exercise and physical activity. Thus far these responses have been measured with standardized self-report scales, but this study used biometric software for automated facial action analysis to analyze the changes that occur during physical exercise. A sample of 132 young, healthy individuals performed an incremental test on a cycle ergometer. During that test the participants’ faces were video-recorded and the changes were algorithmically analyzed at frame rate (30 fps). Perceived exertion and affective valence were measured every two minutes with established psychometric scales. Taking into account anticipated inter-individual variability, multilevel regression analysis was used to model how affective valence and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) covaried with movement in 20 facial action areas. We found the expected quadratic decline in self-reported affective valence (more negative) as exercise intensity increased. Repeated measures correlation showed that the facial action mouth open was linked to changes in (highly intercorrelated) affective valence and RPE. Multilevel trend analyses were calculated to investigate whether facial actions were typically linked to either affective valence or RPE. These analyses showed that mouth open and jaw drop predicted RPE, whereas (additional) nose wrinkle was indicative for the decline in affective valence. Our results contribute to the view that negative affect, escalating with increasing exercise intensity, may be the body’s essential warning signal that physiological overload is imminent. We conclude that automated facial action analysis provides new options for researchers investigating feelings during exercise. In addition, our findings offer physical educators and coaches a new way of monitoring the affective state of exercisers, without interrupting and asking them.

description: Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are emerging tools with unique characteristics that have attracted great interest in developing effective anticancer treatment. At present, the possibility to arm oncolytic viruses with therapeutic payloads is appealing more attention. A broad array of genes is under consideration as therapeutic genes arming OVs. Tumour suppressor genes are intended to counteract its loss and thus induce apoptosis of cancer cells. Cytokines and other immunostimulatory genes are aiming to enhance the systemic immune response and antitumor immunity. Prodrug-activating genes/suicide genes encode for enzymes which convert prodrugs into active form. However, recent advancements in the understanding of OVs are shifting the therapeutic paradigm toward a greater focus on their immunomodulatory role.

description: Background: The prevalence of undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during preoperative evaluation and the best method to screen OSA and its association with postoperative complications remain unclear. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of undiagnosed OSA in preoperative Indian patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, to compare the diagnostic accuracy of the STOP-BANG questionnaire to a preoperative level III sleep study, and to assess the association of OSA with postoperative complications. Methods: A prospective cohort of 245 consecutive adults with ≥2 risk factors for OSA who underwent noncardiac surgery between July 2011 and February 2013 were studied. The STOP-BANG questionnaire was administered to all patients, and 182/245 (74.2%) patients underwent a preoperative level III sleep study. Patients were followed for postoperative complications in hospital and contacted at 30 days after surgery. Results: 70/182 (38.5%) obtained a new diagnosis of OSA, including 11/182 (6%) with moderate to severe OSA (apnea-hypopnea index ≥15/h). On logistic regression analyses, the presence of OSA was independently associated with postoperative oxygen desaturation (OR 5.96, 95% CI 2.35-15.1, p < 0.01), a postoperative complication within 7 days (OR 3.63, 95% CI 1.77-7.45, p < 0.01) and within 30 days (OR 3.5, 95% CI 1.74-7.1, p < 0.01). The STOP-BANG questionnaire did not identify 12/70 (17%) of the patients diagnosed with OSA and classified 28% of the cohort as OSA when the level III sleep study was negative. Conclusions: Unrecognized OSA is common in preoperative patients and is independently associated with postoperative complications. The STOP-BANG questionnaire had a lower performance in the diagnosis of OSA in a South Indian population than the level III sleep study.© 2017 S. Karger AG, Basel
