description: Castrella alba Luther, 1955
Figs 6, 7
Known distribution.
Species recorded from Finland and Sweden (Luther 1955).
Material.
Seven specimens studied alive, two of which were whole mounted afterwards (ZMH V 13831 –13832); collected in Kirchwerder-Fünfhausen, submerged vegetation and litter in an irrigation channel, 0.1–0.2 m deep. Four specimens studied alive and preserved in absolute ethanol, collected in Groß Glienicker lake; littoral, floating vegetation. Two specimens from Kirchwerder-Fünfhausen and one from Groß Glienicker lake used for molecular phylogenetic analyses.
Remarks.
Live specimens about 1 mm long, anterior margin rounded and posterior pointing, translucent, pinkish-brownish colouration due to parenchymal glands (Figs 6 – 7). A pair of eyes (Figs 6 A – C, 7 A: e) anterior to the pharynx; the eyes are formed by two pigmented spots linked by a bridge, and sometimes look like two independent structures. Barrel-shaped pharynx (Figs 6 A – C, 7 A: ph) 122–183 µm long (x ̄ = 147 µm; n = 5). Testes located postero-lateral to the pharynx. The male copulatory organ includes a seminal vesicle (Fig. 7 E, F: sv), a prostate vesicle (Fig. 7 E, F: sv), and the stylet. The stylet (Figs 6 D – F, 7 C – F: st) is 43–74 µm long (x ̄ = 60 µm; n = 3) and displays a proximal handle and a distal spiny part; a hook-shaped, well-differentiated, largest spine is 14–30 µm long (x ̄ = 22 µm; n = 3). The vitellaria (Fig. 6 B: vi) run beside the pharynx until the posterior third of the body, fusing before opening into the oviduct. The oval eggs are 64–120 µm long (n = 2) and present a 95–168 µm long stalk (n = 2) (Fig. 7 A – C: eg).
As noted by Luther (1955), identifying the male sclerotised apparatus in C. alba is particularly challenging. In our study, we were able to distinguish a fully developed stylet in only three out of 11 specimens, while this structure was indistinguishable in the whole mounted material. The stylet in this species is generally delicate and, at first glance, appears underdeveloped. Consequently, Luther (1955) speculated that this species might be synonymous with C. vernalis Beklemischev, 1921. However, the newly studied material, which includes fully developed specimens, suggests that C. alba bears a closer resemblance to C. truncata (Abildgaard, 1789) Sekera, 1906, as indicated by the stylet, which has a proximal handle and a distal spiny section with one spine more developed than the others. Nevertheless, our phylogenetic analysis confirms that C. alba represents a distinct lineage from C. truncata (see section Molecular Phylogenetic Analyses; Fig. 16).

description: The major type I interferon-producing plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) surround and infiltrate certain tumors like malignant melanoma, head and neck cancer, and ovarian and breast cancer. The presence of pDC in these tumors is associated with an unfavorable prognosis for the patients as long as these cells are unstimulated. Upon activation by synthetic Toll-like receptor agonists or viruses, however, pDC develop cytotoxic activities. Viruses have the additional advantage to augment cytotoxic activities of pDC via lytic replication in malignant lesions. These effects turn cold tumors into hotspots, recruiting further immune cells to the site of inflammation. Activated pDC contribute to cross-presentation of tumor-associated antigens by classical dendritic cells, which induce cytotoxic T-cells in particular in the presence of checkpoint inhibitors. The modification of oncolytic herpes viruses via genetic engineering favorably affects this process through the enhanced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, curbing of tumor blood supply, and removal of extracellular barriers for efficient viral spread. Importantly, viral vectors may contribute to stimulation of memory-type adaptive immune responses through presentation of tumor-related neo- and/or self-antigens. Eventually, both replication-competent and replication-deficient herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) may serve as vaccine vectors, which contribute to tumor regression by the stimulation of pDC and other dendritic cells in adjuvant and neo-adjuvant situations.

description: D-2-Hydroxyglutarate (D-2-HG) is regarded as an oncometabolite. It is found at elevated levels in certain malignancies such as acute myeloid leukaemia and glioma. It is produced by a mutated isocitrate dehydrogenase IDH1/2, a low-affinity/high-capacity enzyme. Its degradation, in contrast, is catalysed by the high-affinity/low-capacity enzyme D-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase (D2HDH). So far, it has not been proven experimentally that the accumulation of D-2-HG in IDH mutant cells is the result of its insufficient degradation by D2HDH. Therefore, we developed an LC-MS/MS-based enzyme activity assay that measures the temporal drop in substrate and compared this to the expression of D2HDH protein as measured by Western blot. Our data clearly indicate, that the maximum D-2-HG degradation rate by D2HDH is reached in vivo, as v(max) is low in comparison to production of D-2-HG by mutant IDH1/2. The latter seems to be limited only by substrate availability. Further, incubation of IDH wild type cells for up to 48 hours with 5 mM D-2-HG did not result in a significant increase in either D2HDH protein abundance or enzyme activity.

The larva of this species has been exclusively described by Willmann (1977).
Examined specimens. Greece. Rhodos, Kiotari, rock overhang, VII.2009 (D. Badano), 1 L3 and 3 L3 laboratory-reared to adults; same locality, XI.2010 (R. A. Pantaleoni), 19 L3. Rhodos, Kamiros, XI.2010, R. A. Pantaleoni, 8 L3; Rhodos, Kallitea, XI.2010, R. A. Pantaleoni, 3 L3.
Description of 3 rd instar larva. Size (based on 31 specimens): BL 9.34 mm; HL 1.95 mm (1.70–2.20), HW 1.58 mm (1.37–1.77), ML 2.00 mm (1.76–2.10), HW/HL 0.81, ML/HL 1.03. General colouring pale ochre with few slightly faded markings, ventral side whitish without contrasting dark areas; head capsule pale with a slightly darker area on the clypeo-labrum, lateral and ventral sides of the head unmarked (Figs. 5H, 33c); mandibles pale; legs pale; setae of the body black. Head longer than wide; mandibles as long as the head capsule (Fig. 33a); interdental mandibular setae: (6)(2–3)(2–3)(1); dorsal side of the mandible covered by sparse short setae, ventral side of the mandible with a thick covering of short setae external to the maxilla reaching the apical tooth (Figs. 5H, 33b), few setae are disposed on ventral side of the mandible internally to the maxilla. IX abdominal sternite equipped with an anterior row of 4 digging setae and two rastra each bearing 4 setae of which the external pair is the longest (Figs. 6H, 33d).
Bio-ecology. M. fasciatus inhabits very warm and xeric biotopes, including deserts. The larvae build their pits in sheltered conditions, such as under overhangs and cavities of sedimentary rocks, with the presence of very fine detritus or sand.
Distribution. M. fasciatus is widely distributed in North Africa and Middle East, while its presence in Europe is limited to the Greek island of Rhodos.
Remarks. Unmistakable among European Myrmeleontini thanks to the pale body colouring devoid of a contrasting dark pattern.

Species Lagurus lagurus (Pallas 1773)
Discussion: Lagurini. Closely related to Eolagurus, which together constitute the extant members of Lagurini (Gromov and Polyakov, 1977; Hooper and Hart, 1962; Zagorodnyuk, 1990). Also arranged as subtribe Lagurina within Prometheomyini (Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1998; Pavlinov et al., 1995 a), Clethrionomyini (Mezhzherin et al., 1995), or Arvicolini (McKenna and Bell, 1997). Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) clarified the status of Mus lagurus as the type species, instead of L. migratorius as misindicated by Corbet (1978 c). Koenigswald and Tesakov (1997) documented the enamel microstructure of Lagurus and related its significance for reconstructing relationships among extant and fossil lagurines, from the Pliocene to Recent. Excludes North American Lemmiscus curtatus (see that account).

Euroleon

description: Euroleon Esben-Petersen, 1918
Diagnosis. Anterior margin of the clypeo-labrum slightly concave; mandibles with 3 equidistant teeth of which the apical tooth is slightly longer than the others; 1 seta after the apical tooth; external margin of the mandible with long setae; pronotum covered by sparse short setae; meso- and metathorax with sessile setiferous processes; VIII abdominal sternite with odontoid processes, posterior margin covered by long and thin setae; IX abdominal sternite equipped with an anterior row of digging setae and two short rastra each bearing 4 digging setae.
Examined species. E. nostras (Geoffroy in Fourcroy, 1785).
Comments. Euroleon is a small genus, closely related to Myrmeleon, comprising only 6 described species of exclusively Palaearctic distribution. The larval stages of the widespread European E. nostras were described numerous times since the XVIII century (see text), while those of eastern species, E. parvus Hölzel, 1972, E. polyspilus (Gerstaecker, 1885) and E. coreanus Okamoto, 1926 were treated only recently (Krivokhatsky 1994, 2011).
The morphological characters of Euroleon fall in the range of variability shown by the numerous species included in the closely related genus Myrmeleon. The larvae of Euroleon are differentiated by the hair-like setae covering the posterior margin of the VIII abdominal sternite, while at least in the European species of Myrmeleon the VIII abdominal sternite is equipped with short or spiniform setae.

Using geometric morphometry, Courant et al. (1997) noted cranial shape convergence between L. lagurus and lemmings (Lemmus and Dicrostonyx) and discussed ecological parallels between these two groups. Although the present range of L. lagurus does not extend west of Ukraine, the species occurred in Europe and S England during the last interglacial and glacial cycle (Kowalski, 1967; Sutcliffe and Kowalski, 1976).

description: A growing body of evidence emphasizes the important role exosomes in different physiological and pathological conditions. Exosomes, virus-size extracellular vesicles (EVs), carry a complex molecular cargo, which is actively processed in the endocytic compartment of parental cells. Exosomes carry and deliver this cargo to recipient cells, serving as an intercellular communication system. The methods for recovery of exosomes from supernatants of cell lines or body fluids are not uniformly established. Yet, studies of the quality and quantity of exosome cargos underlie the concept of “liquid biopsy.” Exosomes are emerging as a potentially useful diagnostic tool and a predictor of disease progression, response to therapy and overall survival. Although many novel approaches to exosome isolation and analysis of their cargos have been introduced, the role of exosomes as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers of disease remains unconfirmed. This review considers existing challenges to exosome validation as disease biomarkers. Focusing on advantages and limitations of methods for exosome isolation and characterization, approaches are proposed to facilitate further progress in the development of exosomes as biomarkers in human disease.

Fig. 8
Known distribution.
This species has been broadly recorded in the United States, Iceland, Faroe Islands, overall Europe (United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Latvia, Italy, France, and Spain), Russia, and Japan. See a summary of this distribution and main references in Van Steenkiste et al. (2011).
Material.
One specimen studied alive and whole mounted (ZMH 13833), collected in Wandse river, submerged vegetation with organic matter, 0.1 m deep.
Remarks.
Live animal about 1 mm long, anterior margin rounded and posterior pointing, translucent, orange colouration due to parenchymal glands (Fig. 8 A). A pair (Fig. 8 A: e) of eyes anterior to the pharynx. Barrel-shaped pharynx (Fig. 8 A: ph) 250 µm long. Testes located antero-lateral to the male copulatory bulb. This bulb encompasses a seminal vesicle (Fig. 8 B: sv), a prostate vesicle (Fig. 8 B: sv), and the stylet. The stylet (Fig. 8 C – E: st) is 123 µm long, H-shaped as typical for species of Microdalyellia. One arm carries five 17 - µm-long spines, and the other a single 58 - µm-long spine. The vitellaria (Fig. 8 A: vi) run beside the pharynx until the posterior third of the body, fusing before opening into the oviduct. The oval egg is 140 µm long (Fig. 8 A, C – F: eg).
Microdalyellia armigera shows a high morphological variability of the male sclerotised stylet, the main character to differentiate species in most microturbellarians. However, it would not be surprising if this variability represents cryptic speciation, as suggested by our phylogenetic analysis (see section Molecular Phylogenetic Analyses; Fig. 16). For example, the specimens of M. armigera collected by Müller and Faubel (1993) in the Elbe river present a stylet much larger than in our specimen (220 µm vs 123 µm respectively) and have 3–9 spines in one arm. The size of this structure in other North-European populations varies between 82 μm and 130 μm (Luther 1955; Rixen 1961) and in specimens from Spain is 165 μm long (Van Steenkiste et al. 2011). In general the number of spines in both arms can be variable (see Luther 1955; Bauchhenss 1971) but commonly there is one arm with one spine and the other with 4–5 (Müller and Faubel 1993).

description: One mechanism of action for the anticaries effect of topical fluoridation is through precipitation of CaF2. In this in vitro study energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) is used as a semiquantitative method to detect enamel fluoride-precipitation under the influence of acidic and neutral pH-value and absence or presence of a salivary pellicle. Crowns of 30 human caries-free third molars were quartered into four specimens and the enamel surface ground flat and polished. Two specimens each were stored in human saliva (120 minutes pellicle formation). Teeth were randomly allocated into 6 treatment groups: NaF_a (experimental acidic sodium fluoride; 12500 ppmF(-), pH 4.75); NaF_n (experimental neutral sodium fluoride; 12500 ppmF(-), pH 7.0); GB_a (acidic gel base; 0 ppmF(-), pH 4.75); GB_n (neutral gel base; 0 ppmF(-), pH 7.0); AmF-NaF_a (experimental acidic amine/sodium fluoride; 12500 ppmF(-), pH 4.75); EG_a (acidic amine/sodium fluoride; Elmex Gelee, CP-GABA GmbH; 12500 ppmF(-), pH 4.75). Each gel was applied for 60 seconds to one specimen with and one specimen without pellicle. Two specimens served as controls (no gel, without/with pellicle). Atomic percent (At%) of O, F, Na, Mg, P, Ca was measured by EDX. Delta At% and Ca/P-ratios were calculated. EDX could semi-quantify superficial enamel fluoride-precipitation. Only specimens treated with acidic fluoride gels showed fluoride-precipitation, a salivary pellicle tended to decrease At%F.

description: Major depressive disorder is the main cause of disability worldwide with imperfect treatment options. However, novel therapeutic approaches are currently discussed, from augmentation strategies to novel treatments targeting the immune system or the microbiome-gut-brain axis. Therefore, we examined the potential beneficial effects of minocycline, a tetracycline antibiotic with pleiotropic, immunomodulatory action, alone or as augmentation of escitalopram on behavior, prefrontal microglial density, and the gut microbiome in rats selectively bred for high anxiety-like behavior (HAB). We show that concomitant with their high innate anxiety and depression, HABs have lower microglial numbers in the infralimbic and prelimbic prefrontal cortex and an altered gut microbiota composition compared with controls. Three weeks of minocycline treatment alleviated the depressive-like phenotype, further reduced microglial density, exclusively in male HAB rats, and reduced plasma concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, coadministration of escitalopram, which had no effect alone, prevented these minocycline-induced effects. Moreover, minocycline led to a robust shift in cecal microbial composition in both HABs and rats nonselected for anxiety-like behavior. Minocycline markedly increased relative abundance of Lachnospiraceae and Clostridiales Family XIII, families known for their butyrate production, with a corresponding increase and positive correlation in plasma 3-OH-butyrate levels in a trait-dependent manner. Thus, our data suggest that the antidepressant effect of minocycline is sex- and trait-dependent, associated with a reduced microglial number in the prefrontal cortex, and with changes in microbial composition and their metabolites. These results further support the microbiomegut-brain axis as potential target in the treatment of depression.

description: Correlation for $p_T$ cross section between 1.6 < |y| < 2.0 and 0.0 < |y| < 0.4
description: CERN-LHC. This paper presents for the first time a precise measurement of the production properties of the $Z$ boson in the full phase space of the decay leptons. This is in contrast to the many previous precise unfolded measurements performed in the fiducial phase space of the decay leptons. The measurement is obtained from proton--proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2012 at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb$^{-1}$. The results, based on a total of 15.3 million $Z$-boson decays to electron and muon pairs, extend and improve a previous measurement of the full set of angular coefficients describing $Z$-boson decay. The double-differential cross-section distributions in $Z$-boson transverse momentum $p_T$ and rapidity $y$ are measured in the pole region, defined as $80 < m_{\ell\ell} < 100$ GeV, over the range $|y| < 3.6$. The total uncertainty of the normalised cross-section measurements in the peak region of the $p_T$ distribution is dominated by statistical uncertainties over the full range and increases as a function of rapidity from $0.5-1.0$% for $|y| < 2.0$ to $2-7$% at higher rapidities. The results for the rapidity-dependent transverse momentum distributions are compared to state-of-the-art QCD predictions, which combine in the best cases approximate N$^4$LL resummation with N$^3$LO fixed-order perturbative calculations. The differential rapidity distributions integrated over $p_T$ are even more precise, with accuracies from $0.2-0.3$% for $|y| < 2.0$ to $0.4-0.9$% at higher rapidities, and are compared to fixed-order QCD predictions using the most recent parton distribution functions. The agreement between data and predictions is quite good in most cases.

Discussion: Included in Phaiomys leucurus, whether as Pitymys or Microtus (Corbet, 1978 c; Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951; Pavlinov et al., 1995 a; Zhang and Wang, 1963), but separated as a species and transferred to Lasiopodomys by Zheng and Wang (1980; also Musser and Carleton, 1993). USNM specimens of fuscus verify its membership in Lasiopodomys, not Phaiomys. Hoffmann (1996 a) carefully described old expedition routes and collecting sites, selected a lectotype of fuscus, and documented sympatry between it and the wider ranging Phaiomys leucurus.

description: Over the past few years extensive body of research was produced investigating the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for the treatment of chronic tinnitus with heterogeneous results. This heterogeneity is exemplified by two recently published large-scale clinical trials reporting different outcomes. Technical aspects of rTMS were suspected as a potential source for this incongruency. The aim of this systematic review is to examine the overall efficacy as well as to identify possible technical factors relevant for the effectiveness of rTMS tinnitus trials. Via a literature search appropriate original research papers were identified and rTMS parameters were extracted from each study arm for subsequent statistical analysis with respect to observed effects (significant vs. not significant pre-post rTMS effects). Our findings indicate that verum rTMS is superior to sham rTMS as demonstrated by the proportion of significant pre-post contrasts. Some relevant rTMS parameters (e.g., pulse waveform) are not reported. Lower rTMS stimulation intensity was associated with significant effects in verum rTMS arms. An additional stimulation of the DLPFC to the temporal cortex was not found to promote efficacy. Future research should consider differential effects of rTMS induced by technical parameters and strive for an exhaustive reporting of relevant rTMS parameters.

description: The 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) is an evolutionary conserved cholesterol binding protein localized in the outer mitochondrial membrane. It has been implicated in the regulation of various cellular processes including oxidative stress, proliferation, apoptosis, and steroid hormone biosynthesis. Since the expression of TSPO in activated microglia is upregulated in various neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders, we set out to examine the role of TSPO in an immortalized human microglia C20 cell line. To this end, we performed a dual approach and used (i) lentiviral shRNA silencing to reduce TSPO expression, and (ii) the CRISPR/Cas9 technology to generate complete TSPO knockout microglia cell lines. Functional characterization of control and TSPO knockdown as well as knockout cells, revealed only low de novo steroidogenesis in C20 cells, which was not dependent on the level of TSPO expression or influenced by the treatment with TSPO-specific ligands. In contrast to TSPO knockdown C20 cells, which did not show altered mitochondrial function, the TSPO deficient knockout cells displayed a significantly decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and cytosolic Ca2+ levels, as well as reduced respiratory function. Performing the rescue experiment by lentiviral overexpression of TSPO in knockout cells, increased oxygen consumption and restored respiratory function. Our study provides further evidence for a significant role of TSPO in cellular and mitochondrial metabolism and demonstrates that different phenotypes of mitochondrial function are dependent on the level of TSPO expression.

description: Argeia Dana, 1852
DIAGNOSIS (modified from Markham, 1977): Female: Body ovoid, about 3/4 as wide as long, slightly distorted, all body regions and segments distinct; head subrectangular, wider than long; maxilliped palp setose (sometimes articulated); barbula with two or three short projections on each side; pereomeres either bearing coxal plates or prominently divided laterally; oostegites surrounding but not covering marsupium, oostegite 1 with large rounded posterolateral lobe, not tapered; pleon of six pleomeres, first five produced into prominent oval to lanceolate lateral plates; pleopods uniramous, exopodites often reduced to knobs on ventral surface, especially posteriorly; uropods uniramous, of same size and shape as lateral plates.
Male: Body approximately three times as long as wide; head usually much narrower than pereon; pereomeres distinctly separated, subequal in width; pleon triangular, ending in rounded point.
TYPE SPECIES: Argeia pugettensis Dana, 1852, by monotypy.
OTHER SPECIES: Argeia atlantica Markham, 1977.
REMARKS: Argeia lowisi Chopra, 1923, and A. nierstraszi Shiino, 1958, do not belong in Argeia. Females of both A. pugettensis and A. atlantica have an oostegite 1 with a rounded (not tapered) posterior lobe, the first 5 pleomeres with lateral plates and a pair of uniramous pleopods on pleomeres 1–5. However, females of A. lowisi and A. nierstraszi both have an elongate and tapered oostegite 1 posterior lobe (similar to that seen in Stegoalpheon kempi Chopra, 1923), no lateral plates or biramous pleopods. Although the oostegite 1 is very similar in A. lowisi, A. nierstraszi, and S. kempi, the presence of five or six pairs of uniramous lateral plates and five pairs of biramous pleopods in S. kempi precludes the inclusion of A. lowisi and A. nierstraszi in that genus. Therefore, we erect Stegoargeia, n. gen. (type species Argeia lowisi Chopra, 1923), for the type species as well as A. nierstraszi. The hosts for both Argeia species are crangonids, while those of Stegoalpheon and Stegoargeia, n. gen., are alpheids. The males of all three genera are very similar and suggest a close relationship between the genera.
