description: The insertion of an endogenous retroviral long terminal repeat (LTR) sequence into the bovine apolipoprotein B (APOB) gene is causal to the inherited genetic defect cholesterol deficiency (CD) observed in neonatal and young calves. Affected calves suffer from developmental abnormalities, symptoms of incurable diarrhoea and often die within weeks to a few months after birth. Neither the detailed effects of the LTR insertion on APOB expression profile nor the specific mode of inheritance nor detailed phenotypic consequences of the mutation are undisputed. In our study, we analysed German Holstein dairy heifers at the peak of hepatic metabolic load and exposed to an additional pathogen challenge for clinical, metabolic and hepatic transcriptome differences between wild type (CDF) and heterozygote carriers of the mutation (CDC). Our data revealed that a divergent allele-biased expression pattern of the APOB gene in heterozygous CDC animals leads to a tenfold higher expression of exons upstream and a decreased expression of exons downstream of the LTR insertion compared to expression levels of CDF animals. This expression pattern could be a result of enhancer activity induced by the LTR insertion, in addition to a previously reported artificial polyadenylation signal. Thus, our data support a regulatory potential of mobile element insertions. With regard to the phenotype generated by the LTR insertion, heterozygote CDC carriers display significantly differential hepatic expression of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis and lipid metabolism. Phenotypically, CDC carriers show a significantly affected lipomobilization compared to wild type animals. These results reject a completely recessive mode of inheritance for the CD defect, which should be considered for selection decisions in the affected population. Exemplarily, our results illustrate the regulatory impact of mobile element insertions not only on specific host target gene expression but also on global transcriptome profiles with subsequent biological, functional and phenotypic consequences in a natural in-vivo model of a non-model mammalian organism.

Comments. Rhene wandae Wang & Li, 2021 was described based on the holotype male and the paratype male from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China. Rhenefictus tropicus Logunov, 2021 was described based on the holotype male from the Tuyen Quang Province in northern Vietnam. While comparing the illustrations of both species, it is evident that they depict the same species. The unique male palp with the long whip-like, coiled embolus lacking a terminal apophysis (cf. figs 120–126 in Logunov (2021) with figs 16A–C, 17A–D in Wang & Li (2021)) is a diagnostic characteristic of the newly erected genus Rhenefictus Logunov, 2021. Despite both descriptions being published in 2021, the paper by Wang & Li appeared in October, whereas that of Logunov in November. Therefore, the name Rhene wandae has a priority over R. tropicus Logunov, 2021, and the latter is to be considered a junior synonym of the former. Yet, the validity of the newly erected, monotypic genus Rhenefictus remains unquestioned, and thus Rhene wandae is to be transferred to this genus: Rhenefictus wandae (Wang & Li, 2021) comb. n. Finally, despite the newly established synonymy and based on Article 67.1.2 of the ICZN, Rhenefictus tropicus Logunov, 2021 remains the type species of Rhenefictus, and is now regarded as a synonym of Rhene wandae Wang & Li, 2021.
Distribution. China, northern Vietnam (Wang & Li, 2021; Logunov 2021: sub Rhenefictus tropicus; WSC, 2022) (Fig. 72).

description: Cinclidonemertes mooreae Crandall, 2010
Remarks
Established based on four specimens, up to 3.7 mm in length, collected from 19–25 m depth near Wauwermans Islands, Antarctica. With four eyes. The rhynchocoel is “composed of single fibres spaced apart from one another in a partially woven lattice” (Crandall 2010: 2412), a character state that cannot readily be interpreted as decisively homologous with that in Cratenemertea and/or Plectonemertidae. The cerebral organs are large, located behind the pre-cerebral septum, lying beside and beneath the brain, and thus conforming to those in Cratenemertea, but also in Proamphiporus Chernyshev & Polyakova, 2019. The vascular plug is “broad and flat, lying tightly against ventral wall of rhynchocoel” (Crandall 2010: 2421), but one of the original figures (Crandall 2010, fig. 12) depicts it as if there are two vascular plugs, reminiscent of the character state in Oerstediina. The taxonomic placement of the family Cinclidonemertidae Crandall, 2010, the genus Cinclidonemertes Crandall, 2010, and C. mooreae among Monostilifera thus requires further scrutiny.

description: The potato is the most important non-cereal food crop, and thus improving potato growth and yield is the focus of agricultural researchers and practitioners worldwide. Several studies reported beneficial effects of silicon (Si) fertilization on potato performance, although plant species from the family Solanaceae are generally considered to be non-Si-accumulating. We used results from two field experiments in the temperate zone to gain insight into silica accumulation in potato plants, as well as corresponding long-term potato yield performance. We found relatively low Si contents in potato leaves and roots (up to 0.08% and 0.3% in the dry mass, respectively) and negligible Si contents in potato tuber skin and tuber flesh for plants grown in soils with different concentrations of plant-available Si (field experiment 1). Moreover, potato yield was not correlated to plant-available Si concentrations in soils in the long term (1965–2015, field experiment 2). Based on our results, we ascribe the beneficial effects of Si fertilization on potato growth and yield performance reported in previous studies mainly to antifungal/osmotic effects of foliar-applied Si fertilizers and to changes in physicochemical soil properties (e.g., enhanced phosphorus availability and water-holding capacity) caused by soil-applied Si fertilizers.

Remarks
Described based on four specimens from Umm al-Dalkh oil field in the Persian Gulf, off the United Arab Emirates, up to 3 mm in body length. With two to six eyes. The rhynchocoel is half the length of the body; its wall is mainly composed of circular muscle fibres, but longitudinal muscle fibres are also interwoven to varying degrees, a condition otherwise not hitherto reported in Monostilifera. The cerebral organs are simple, reaching back to 66% of the pre-septal region; the position of the organs thus differs from that in Cratenemertea.A stylet apparatus is missing from V. schultzei. Whether or not the mid-dorsal vessel forms a vascular plug is unknown. While the type species of the genus Verrillianemertes rathkei Senz, 2001 likely belongs in Amphiporina, V. schultzei cannot be placed with certainty in any of the higher taxon recognized in this paper.

Comments. Rhene haldanei Gajbe, 2004 was described based on a holotype female from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. Detailed examination of the holotype revealed it to be identical to Bianor angulosus in both general colour pattern and genital morphology. The abdominal pattern with a pair of white spots in the posterior half and median chevron shaped markings; epigyne with a well-developed central pocket and fossae; copulatory openings leading to funnel-shaped inlets; copulatory ducts long with clearly visible first loop and spermathecae elongated (cf. Figs 65–70 with figs 7, 11 in Zabka (1985) and figs 53, 55, 61 in Logunov (2001)). Thus, the species R. haldanei is to be treated as a member of Bianor and a junior synonym of B. angulosus.

description: Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) constitute important cells of the pancreatic microenvironment and their close interaction with cancer cells is important in pancreatic cancer. It is currently not known whether PSCs accumulate genetic alterations that contribute to tumor biology. Our aim was to analyze genetic alterations in cancer associated PSCs. PSC DNA was matched to DNA isolated from pancreatic cancer patients’ blood (n = 5) and analyzed by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). Bioinformatic analysis was performed using the GATK software and pathogenicity prediction scores. Sanger sequencing was carried out to verify specific genetic alterations in a larger panel of PSCs (n = 50). NGS and GATK analysis identified on average 26 single nucleotide variants in PSC DNA as compared to the matched blood DNA that could be visualized with the Integrative Genomics Viewer. The absence of PDAC driver mutations (KRAS, p53, p16/INK4a, SMAD4) confirmed that PSC isolations were not contaminated with cancer cells. After filtering the variants, using different pathogenicity scores, ten genes were identified (SERPINB2, CNTNAP4, DENND4B, DPP4, FGFBP2, MIGA2, POLE, SNRNP40, TOP2B, and ZDHHC18) in single samples and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. As a proof of concept, functional analysis using control and SERPINB2 knock-out fibroblasts revealed functional effects on growth, migration, and collagen contraction. In conclusion, PSC DNA exhibit a substantial amount of single nucleotide variants that might have functional effects potentially contributing to tumor aggressiveness.

description: Acute (AW) and chronic (CW) workload imbalances, including their ratio (ACWR), are largely associated with increased injury risk. However, the inclusion of personal endurance performance (EP) in this calculation as a means of improving accuracy has been neglected in previous studies. The aim of this longitudinal observational study was to evaluate the relevance of the high metabolic load distance (ACWRHMLD) to EP in relation to non-contact injuries. Twenty-three German male first division soccer players (age: 24.5 ± 3.5 years; VO2max: 53.7 ± 4.9 mL/min/kg; v4: 15.2 ± 0.9 km/h) were analyzed. Eleven players with non-contact injuries were identified and matched with players without any injuries within the same time interval. Players were monitored using GPS and LPS tracking to calculate ACWRHMLD on a daily basis over the course of one competitive season. Relationships between different endurance performance parameters (v2, v4, vLT, VO2max) and the ACWRHMLD, AW, CW were established for statistical analysis. An area under the curve analysis (AUC) was performed. Based on the four weeks preceding the non-contact injuries, the CW, especially for the last two weeks before the injury, proved to be the most suitable parameter to estimate the risk of injury. The highest significant AUC value (0.81, 95% CI: 0.59–1.00) was calculated for the CW (last week before injury) in relation to the vLT (suitable cut-off: 0.04 km; sensitivity: 78%, specificity: 80%). With regard to the injury rate, the ACWRHMLD seems to be the most appropriate method of calculation, especially for CW related to EP (vLT). The sole use of ACWR, AW, and CW is not recommended.

Olisthanella obtusa

description: Olisthanella obtusa (Schultze, 1851)
Synonyms: Mesostomum obtusum Schultze, 1851
Locality. Temporary pools on Mount Kavul and Mount Shekhanya, Lower Galilee.
Material. Several individuals. Live observations, squash preparations and two sagittally- sectioned individuals deposited in the Department of Zoology at Tel Aviv University, Israel, Catalogue Number VR-25072 and VR-25073.
Ecological features. Olisthanella obtusa was found in some of the smallest temporary pools sampled, after the pools dried and refilled with water (April–May 2002) (Eitam et al 2004).
Olisthanella obtusa is widely distributed in Europe (Luther, 1963; Young, 1970; Müller & Faubel, 1993); there are no known records from North America or Africa. It was reported from Israel for the first time by Eitam et al (2004).

Discussion. Based on the new material, we compared the female measurements of Homogryllacris bilobus based on Bei-Bienko in 1957 with all other micropterous species of Homogryllacris and the nominate subgeneric species of Apterolarnaca (Table 1). For micropterous species of Homogryllacris, the ration of ovipositor length to body length obviously greater than 0.5 and the value of OvL/HFL greater than 1.5. And the two values of Apterolarnaca (Apterolarnaca) are lesser than 0.5 and 1.0 respectively. The holotype’s measurements of Homogryllacris bilobus has 0.89 and 1.83 of the above two ratios which are proved that the current classification is reasonable.

description: In insects, females can keep sperm capable of fertilisation over a long period with the help of the spermatheca. The effectiveness of storing fertile sperm is expected to reflect in the reproductive strategy and, thus, the morphology of the involved organs. In this work, we focused on the relationship between reproduction and morphology in the haplodiploid Thysanoptera, especially if a loss of these traits occurs under thelytoky. The spermathecal morphology and the fate of stored spermatozoa were studied by microscopic techniques (high-resolution x-ray computed tomography and transmission electron microscopy) in three species with different reproductive modes and lifestyles (Suocerathrips linguis, Echinothrips americanus, Hercinothrips femoralis). Mating experiments were conducted to analyse the use of the transferred sperm in the thelytokous H. femoralis. Results show that the spermathecae are relatively simple, which can be explained by the availability of sperm and the short lifespan of the females. However, the spermatheca in H. femoralis seems to be vestigial compared to the arrhenotokous species and females do not use sperm for fertilisation. No substantial change was observed in the structure of spermatozoa, despite an enlargement of the sperm organelles being measured during storage in all three species. The results of this work demonstrate differences in the morphology of the spermatheca, especially concerning the reproduction mode, promoting the understanding of the complex interaction between morphology and behaviour.

Locality. Permanent spring in Kaukab, Lower Galilee.
Material. Squash preparations, photographs and two sagittally-sectioned individuals deposited in the Department of Zoology at Tel Aviv University, Israel, Catalogue Number VR-25078 and VR-25079.
Morphological remarks. Contrary to the European specimens, the Israeli population shows rhabditetracts (“Stäbchenstrassen”).
Ecological features. Olisthanella opistomiformis is an inhabitant of pools and swamps with humus-rich bottoms. In Israel, it was found in a permanent water source, Kaubab spring (April 2002) (TABLE 1).
Olisthanella opistomiformis is reported from Europe and Brazil, although the species from Brazil was described by Marcus (1946) as Olisthanella parva. A review of the different descriptions of this species is necessary to determine a reliable distribution for O. opistomiformis. We consider O. opistomiformis to be distributed only in Europe and adjacent areas, as well as Israel.

description: Background: Person-centred care (PCC) has been suggested as the preferred model of dementia care in all settings. The EPCentCare study showed that an adapted PCC approach was difficult to implement and had no effect on prescription of antipsychotics in nursing home residents in Germany. This paper reports the qualitative process evaluation to identify facilitators and barriers of the implementation of PCC in German nursing homes from the perspective of participating practice development champions. Methods: Five individual and 14 group interviews were conducted with 66 participants (staff and managers) from 18 nursing homes. The analysis was based on inductive coding to identify factors influencing the PCC implementation process. Identified factors were systematised and structured by mapping them to the four constructs (coherence, cognitive participation, collective action, reflexive monitoring) of the Normalization Process Theory (NPT) as a framework that explains implementation processes. Results: Facilitating implementation factors included among others broadening of the care perspective (coherence), tolerance development within the care team regarding challenging behaviour (cognitive participation), testing new approaches to solutions as a multi-professional team (collective action), and perception of effects of PCC measures (reflexive monitoring). Among the facilitating factors reported in all the NPT constructs, thus affecting the entire implementation process, were the involvement of relatives, multi-professional teamwork and effective collaboration with physicians. Barriers implied uncertainties about the implementation and expectation of a higher workload (coherence), concerns about the feasibility of PCC implementation in terms of human resources (cognitive participation), lack of a person-centred attitude by colleagues or the institution (collective action), and doubts about the effects of PCC (reflexive monitoring). Barriers influencing the entire implementation process comprised insufficient time resources, lack of support, lack of involvement of the multi-professional team, and difficulties regarding communication with the attending physicians. Conclusions: The findings provide a comprehensive and detailed overview of facilitators and barriers structured along the implementation process. Thus, our findings may assist both researchers and clinicians to develop and reflect more efficiently on PCC implementation processes in nursing homes.
