description: Paratinoides Medvedev, 1964
Type species: Paratinoides apterus Medvedev, 1964 fixed by monotypy.
Diagnosis. Small-size (c. 3.0– 3.3 mm) beetles with the body elongate, narrow, parallel-sided, slightly expanded posteriorly and staphylinoid-type, because of the uncovered by elytra abdomen. Head, pronotum, elytra, abdomen, intermediate and posterior femora, thorax, 6–11th antennomeres black-brown, mouthpart area, palpi, 1–5th basal segments of antennae, anterior legs and tibiae and tarsi in intermediate and posterior legs light-yellow. Antennae filiform, simple, expanding over the base of pronotum. Head not wider than as pronotum, flat, eyes simple, round, not large, slightly protruding. Pronotum elongate, evenly and strongly narrowed at base, almost completely straight anteriorly, and emarginate at base near scutellum, with evenly rounded angles and indistinctly marginate sides. Elytra extremely shortened, cover only thoracic segments and leave abdomen free, suboval, slightly expanded just behind the indistinct shoulders; apices evenly rounded, simple, with distinct margination. Surface of head, pronotum and elytra densely punctured, with distinct microsculpture, shining, covered with short double pubescence. Anterior tarsi with distinct transverse not large comb above the 2nd segments, legs simple, not swollen or modified, lacking appendages or hairs. Metathorax simple, not swollen and lacking appendage or hairs.
Pygidium elongate, undivided, evenly narrowed and rounded distally, ultimate abdominal ventrite narrow, transverse, bilaciniate, with simple evenly rounded apices, aedeagus almost completely straight, simple, with a specific strong and spiral-curved horn-like tube in endophallus and a group of small denticles in anterior part. Tegmen narrow, long, with thin and curved apices of parameres.
The species is similar to representatives of subfamily Carphurinae due to its “staphylinoid” body shape, but specific 2nd segment of filiform antennae together with tarsal comb allow to place the genus near Protapalochrus, species of which are also distributed in the same region. One of the most distinguishing characters is the strong and curved horn-like tube in the inner sac of the aedeagus.
Notes. The species is distributed in Central and North Asia, namely Kazakhstan, neighbouring regions of Russia and Mongolia.

description: A bibliometric analysis (BA) is a knowledge synthesis methodology aimed at quantitively summarizing large amounts of bibliometric data. We aimed to summarize the performance of BAs in the health sciences. We searched Scopus for BAs in the health sciences published prior to May 10, 2023. All identified studies were included. We performed a BA on these studies in two steps: performance analysis and science mapping. For the performance analysis, various indicators of scientific production were calculated using the bibliometrix R package. For the science mapping, VOSviewer was used to generate a co-authorship network and a keyword co-occurrence network. In total, 5,828 BAs were analyzed. Scientific production has exploded in the last years, with more than 1,500 BAs published in 2022 alone. Scientific impact (i.e. citations) has also been rising, although at a lesser pace. The mean number of citations per year per BA was 1.78. China was the most productive country, publishing more BAs than the nine other most productive countries combined. China paradoxically had a lower number of citations per publication compared with the nine other most productive countries. International collaborations were rare. Common BA themes included oncology, public health, neurosciences, mental health, artificial intelligence, and COVID-19. BAs are increasingly common in the health sciences, but their performance remains limited. More international collaborations and standardized guidelines could help improve their performance, notably the frequency at which they are cited.

description: To evaluate the status of lupus nephritis treatment particularly regarding the need for intensification of treatment in Japan from 2010 to 2019 using a large-scale claims database. This descriptive study included adult lupus nephritis patients who were administered glucocorticoid equivalent to ≥15 mg prednisolone as the initial dose. After summarizing patient characteristics, we assessed the rate of treatment intensification using the Kaplan–Meier method among six groups based on initial dose of glucocorticoid. We identified 403 patients (mean age, 42.7 years; 68.5% women) with the median initial glucocorticoid dose of 30 mg/day prednisolone equivalent. We observed 56 treatment intensifications; the incidence rate was 71.3 per 1,000 person-years (95% confidence interval: 52.6–90.0). The rate in higher glucocorticoid dose groups was higher than that in lower glucocorticoid dose groups. We found that the rate of treatment intensification was higher in the high-dose glucocorticoid groups than in the low-dose glucocorticoid groups. Further studies are needed to clarify the relationship between the initial dose of glucocorticoids and the prognosis of lupus nephritis patients.

description: Shock waves from supernova remnants (SNRs) have strong influence on the physical and chemical properties of molecular clouds (MCs). Shocks propagating into magnetized MCs can be classified into "jump" J-shock and "continuous" C-shock. The molecular chemistry in the re-formed molecular gas behind J-shock is still not well understood, which will provide a comprehensive view of the chemical feedback of SNRs and the chemical effects of J-shock. We conducted a W-band (71.4-89.7 GHz) observation toward a re-formed molecular clump behind a J-shock induced by SNR W51C with the Yebes 40 m radio telescope to study the molecular chemistry in the re-formed molecular gas. Based on the local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) assumption, we estimate the column densities of HCO+, HCN, C2H and o-c-C3H2, and derive the maps of their abundance ratios with CO. The gas density is constrained by non-LTE analysis of the HCO+ J=1-0 line. We obtain the following abundance ratios: $N({\rm HCO^+})/N({\rm CO})\sim (1.0\text{--}4.0)\times 10^{-4}$, $N({\rm HCN})/N({\rm CO})\sim (1.8\text{--}5.3)\times 10^{-4}$, $N({\rm C_2H})/N({\rm CO})\sim (1.6\text{--}5.0)\times 10^{-3}$, and $N({o\text{-}c\text{-}{\rm C_3H_2}})/N({\rm CO})\sim (1.2\text{--}7.9)\times 10^{-4}$. The non-LTE analysis suggests that the gas density is $n_{\rm H_2}\gtrsim 10^4\rm \ cm^{-3}$. We find that the N(C2H)/N(CO) and N(o-c-C3H2)/N(CO) are higher than typical values in quiescent MCs and shocked MCs by 1-2 orders of magnitude, which can be qualitatively attributed to the abundant C+ and C at the earliest phase of molecular gas re-formation. The Paris-Durham shock code can reproduce, although not perfectly, the observed abundance ratios, especially the enhanced N(C2H)/N(CO) and N(o-c-C3H2)/N(CO), with J-shocks propagating in to both non-irradiated and irradiated molecular gas with a preshock density of $n_{\rm H}=2\times 10^3\rm \ cm^{-3}$.

The genus Meoneura is by far the largest genus of Carnidae and there are 91 valid species known. The Nearctic species can be identified with Sabrosky (1959, 1961). The basis for the identification of the Palaearctic species reported here are the keys of Collin (1930) and Papp (1978). Additionally, the original descriptions of all species that are published later are taken into account. The identification of those species that cannot be identified with the keys of Collin (1930) and Papp (1978) are discussed in detail below. At present, only males can be identified with characters of the postabdomen.

description: We conducted an analysis of the velocity field of dwarf galaxies in the LITTLE THINGS sample, focusing on deriving 2D velocity maps that encompass both the transverse and radial velocity fields. Within the range of radial distances where velocity anisotropies are sufficiently small for the disc to be considered rotationally supported, and where the warped geometry of the disc can be neglected, we reconstructed the rotation curve while taking into account the effect of the asymmetric drift. To fit the rotation curves, we employed the standard halo model and the dark matter disc (DMD) model, which assumes that dark matter is primarily confined to the galactic discs and can be traced by the distribution of \HI{}. Interestingly, our analysis revealed that the fits from the DMD model are statistically comparable to those obtained using the standard halo model, but the inferred masses of the galaxies in the DMD model are approximately 10 to 100 times smaller than the masses inferred in the standard halo model. In the DMD model, the inner slope of the rotation curve is directly related to a linear combination of the surface density profiles of the stellar and gas components, which generally exhibit a flat core. Consequently, the observation of a linear relationship between the rotation curve and the radius in the disc central regions is consistent with the framework of the DMD model.

description: The cumulative effect of drugs with anticholinergic properties may pose a significant risk in the post-discharge period of patients who have undergone elective cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between anticholinergic burden and 6-month postdischarge mortality in older cardiac surgery patients. This study performed a retrospective longitudinal analysis of patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery at a tertiary care centre from January 2021 to January 2022. The Deyo-Charlson comorbidity index (D-CCI) was used to estimate the burden of comorbidities. The anticholinergic burden was assessed using the Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden scale (ACB) and Drug Burden Index (DBI) scale. All-cause postdischarge mortality was determined from electronic medical records. A total of 255 older adults who had undergone elective cardiac surgery and had been followed up for at least 6 months were included in this study. Approximately 12.5% (n = 32) of older patients died within 6 months of discharge. In multivariate Cox regression analysis, ACB (HR:1.31, 95%CI:1.10–1.56 p = 0.01) and DBI (HR:2.08, 95%CI:1.27–3.39 p = 0.01) showed significantly increased risk of 6-month postdischarge mortality after adjusting for several possible confounders (age, gender, D-CCl, and American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) score). Overall event-free survival differed significantly between patients undergoing cardiac surgery based on anticholinergic burden according to the group-stratified ACB and DBI scales (χ2: 5.907, log-rank test, p = 0.015 and χ2: 15.389, log-rank test, p < 0.001 respectively). The anticholinergic burden is associated with 6-month all-cause post-discharge mortality in older cardiac surgery patients. A deprescribing approach should be considered, especially for older adults in the perioperative period. The trial was retrospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov. Identifier: NCT05312684 Registered on 5 April 2022.

description: Next generations of radio surveys are expected to identify tens of millions of new sources, and identifying and classifying their morphologies will require novel and more efficient methods. Self-Organising Maps (SOMs), a type of unsupervised machine learning, can be used to address this problem. We map 251,259 multi-Gaussian sources from Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey (RACS) onto a SOM with discrete neurons. Similarity metrics, such as Euclidean distances, can be used to identify the best-matching neuron or unit (BMU) for each input image. We establish a reliability threshold by visually inspecting a subset of input images and their corresponding BMU. We label the individual neurons based on observed morphologies and these labels are included in our value-added catalogue of RACS sources. Sources for which the Euclidean distance to their BMU is $\lesssim$ 5 (accounting for approximately 79$\%$ of sources) have an estimated $>90\%$ reliability for their SOM-derived morphological labels. This reliability falls to less than 70$\%$ at Euclidean distances $\gtrsim$ 7. Beyond this threshold it is unlikely that the morphological label will accurately describe a given source. Our catalogue of complex radio sources from RACS with their SOM-derived morphological labels from this work will be made publicly available.

description: 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO) is an important building block in the chemical industry that has been mainly produced from fossil fuels, but now biosynthesis of 1,4-BDO has received more and more attention due to environmental issues. The Clostridia C4 pathway produces an intermediate crotonyl-CoA which could be diverted to 1,4-BDO by 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydratase (4HBD). Here, we compared this pathway with other 1,4-BDO biosynthesis pathways and illustrated its potential advantages regarding cellular energy conservation and theoretical yield. Then, the feasibility of 1,4-BDO production in this way was tested by introducing a single 4HBD in Clostridium acetobutylicum that natively produced the C4 intermediate and a variety of aldehyde/alcohol dehydrogenases (AdhE). Five different 4HBD genes were screened and the Cbei-2100 gene from Clostridium beijerinckii was the most effective, producing 0.066 mg/mL of 1,4-BDO. To block the metabolic flux towards the main product butanol, disruption of butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase (Bcd) was tried but failed, while inactivation of its homologue (FAD/FMN-containing dehydrogenase, Fcd) obtained little effect. Alternatively, the electron-transferring flavoprotein EtfA coupled with Bcd was inactivated, and 1,4-BDO production was greatly increased to 0.182 mg/mL. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the feasibility of 1,4-BDO production through the Clostridia C4 pathway. Further blocking of the competing flux towards butanol would be effective to improve the production of in the future.

Meoneura arctica can be easily identified by the characteristic shape of the male postabdomen that is figured in Ozerov (1991: 10, Fig. 7). I compared two specimens reported here with the original description and cannot find any reason to assume a new species. The record of Meoneura arctica is surprising because this species has previously only been known from the locus typicus (Russia, Yamal Peninsula) and Sweden (Brake 2011).

description: Post-hoc analysis examined health-related quality of life and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) symptoms in the Asian subgroup of patients in RATIONALE-302 (NCT03430843). Methods: Patients were randomized 1:1 to either tislelizumab or investigator-chosen chemotherapy (paclitaxel, docetaxel, or irinotecan). Health-related quality of life was measured using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and the QLQ-OES18. Least-squares mean score changes from baseline to Weeks 12 and 18 in health-related quality of life scores were assessed using a mixed model for repeated measurements. Reported nominal p-values are for descriptive purpose only. Of the 512 patients, this analysis was conducted in 392 Asian patients (tislelizumab n = 192; investigator-chosen chemotherapy n = 200). The tislelizumab arm had stable GHS/QoL, but fatigue scores worsened in both arms. The change from baseline was similar for physical functioning in both arms at Weeks 12 and 18. Eating and dysphagia scores remained stable in the tislelizumab arm. Reflux improved at Week 12 in the tislelizumab arm and worsened in investigator-chosen chemotherapy arm. Overall, the health-related quality of life and ESCC-related symptoms of patients receiving tislelizumab in the Asian subgroup remained stable or improved, while patients receiving investigator-chosen chemotherapy experienced worsening. These results in Asian patients corroborate the findings in the intent-to-treat population suggesting tislelizumab is a potential new second-line treatment option for patients with advanced or metastatic ESCC. The RATIONALE-302 study is registered on clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03430843.

description: Lysine succinylation is a post-translational modification that occurs when a succinyl group bonds with a lysine residue and changes the polarity of lysine from positive to negative, causing significant changes in the structure and functioning of proteins. Lysine succinylation occurs on various proteins and is crucial in the cellular and biological processes of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Succinylation site identification is an area of high research interest, and sequence-based prediction methods using machine learning and deep learning have been developed based on experimentally confirmed data of succinylation sites, aiming to be highly accurate, robust, quick, and cost-efficient. However, despite the usefulness of these methods, different issues must be addressed when building a model of lysine succinylation. As succinylation site predictors become more abundant, it is crucial to assess their advantages and drawbacks to identify potential issues and improve the efficiency of predicting succinylation sites. Among the multiple studies that have employed machine-learning and deep-learning applications, few have systematically examined computational issues. Hence, in this review, we summarize the challenges and restrictions in the development of succinylation prediction models and provide guidelines for more suitable and efficient computational methods.

description: Exoplanets on close-in orbit are subject to intense X-ray and ultraviolet (XUV) irradiation from their star. Their atmosphere therefore heats up, sometimes to the point where it thermally escapes from the gravitational potential of the planet. Nonetheless, XUV is not the only source of heating in such atmospheres. Indeed, close-in exoplanets are embedded in a medium (the stellar wind) with strong magnetic fields that can significantly vary along the orbit. The variations of this magnetic field can induce currents in the upper atmosphere, which dissipate and locally heat it up through Ohmic heating. The aim of this work is to quantify Ohmic heating in the upper atmosphere of hot exoplanets due to an external time-varying magnetic field, and to compare it to the XUV heating. Ohmic heating depends strongly on the conductivity properties of the upper atmosphere. A 1D formalism is developed to assess the level and the localization of Ohmic heating depending on the conductivity profile, and applied to the specific cases of Trappist-1 b and $π$ Men c. Ohmic heating can reach values up to 10$^{-3}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-3}$ in the upper atmospheres of hot exoplanets. It is expected to be stronger the closer the planet is and the lower the central star mass is, as these conditions maximize the strength of the ambient magnetic field around the planet. We confirm that Ohmic heating can play an important role in setting the thermal budget of the upper atmosphere of hot exoplanets, and can even surpass the XUV heating in the most favorable cases. When it is strong, a corollary is that the upper atmosphere screens efficiently time-varying external magnetic fields, preventing them to penetrate deeper in the atmosphere or inside the planet itself. We find that both Trappist-1b and $π$ Men c are likely subject to intense Ohmic heating.

description: Japanese brome (Bromus japonicus Thunb. ex Murr.) is a pervasive annual weed with wide distribution in winter wheat fields across the North China Plain. In this study, we researched the genetic diversity and phylogeography of 24 B. japonicus populations in China based on total genomic DNA and chloroplast DNA. The results showed that 106 fragments were scored using 12 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers, and 101 fragments (95.28%) were polymorphic. The findings revealed substantial genetic diversity and differentiation among populations from different locations (Ht = 0.2125, Hs = 0.0730, Gst = 0.6562 and Nm = 0.2619). Mean values of Nei’s genetic diversity (H) and Shannon index of diversity (I) were 0.0731 and 0.1068, respectively. In addition, 15 haplotypes were identified based on combined cpDNA regions among the 24 populations exhibiting abundant haplotype (gene) diversity and nucleotide diversity. The AMOVA based on ISSR and cpDNA both showed that genetic variation mainly exists among populations rather than within them. The STRUCTURE analysises of ISSR and cpDNA indicated that geographical location and genetic relationship had no significant correlation. The haplotype network also illustrated that the widespread haplotypes (H1, H2) might represent ancient polymorphism. The results obtained in this study demonstrate the presence of extensive genetic variability among and within the Chinese populations of B. japonicus, which is likely to contribute significantly to its adaptability and infestation as a weed species.

description: Size is one of the important factors for antigen carriers because it influences cellular interaction, pharmacokinetics, immune cell activation and the types of immune responses. We developed pH-sensitive polysaccharide derivative-modified liposomes as antigen carriers for induction of antigen-specific immune responses. For an earlier study, the size of these liposomes was controlled to within 100–200 nm considering the suitable size for endocytosis. However, since most antigen-presenting cells can engulf larger particles, the proper liposome size and its effect on the induction of cellular versus humoral immune responses remains unclear. Here, we examined the effects of polysaccharide derivative-modified liposome size on immune responses. Liposome size was controlled by using an extrusion method by passing liposomes through a polycarbonate membrane of different pore sizes. Small liposomes encapsulating model antigenic protein suppressed antigen-expressing tumour growth effectively and increased the IgG2a/IgG1 ratio early after liposome administration, suggesting that Th1 response was mainly induced. Large liposomes increased antigen-specific IgG1 and IgG2a production for 56 days compared with small liposomes. These results suggest that small liposomes modified with pH-responsive polysaccharide derivatives could be effective for cancer immunotherapy whereas large liposomes could be suitable for induction of antibody production towards vaccination.

description: Due to limited research on the effectiveness and safety of intravenous (IV) fluids administered during labor, there are no guidelines available. Thus, this meta-analysis aims to evaluate efficacy of IV Ringer’s lactate during labor as compared to usual care. Six databases were searched for the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the effects of IV Ringer’s lactate at 125 mL/h or 250 mL/hr during labor in nulliparous women at term as compared to usual care, and the search results were imported to Covidence for screening of the articles. All the concerned outcomes were pooled as risk ratios (RR) or mean difference (MD) with 95% CI in the meta-analysis models using RevMan 5.4. Pooled data from 7 RCTs with 967 nulliparous women showed that the active stage of labor duration (MD −32.16 with 95% CI [40.43 to −23.90], p < 0.00001), need of oxytocin augmentation (RR 0.72 with 95% CI [0.54 to 0.96], p = 0.03) and incidence of prolonged labor (RR 0.57 with 95% CI [0.34 to 0.95], p = 0.03) was significantly lower with IV Ringer’s lactate. However, the total duration of labor (p = 0.23), duration of second stage of labor (p = 0.31) and cesarean section rate (p = 0.070) did not differ between the two groups. The test for subgroup analysis based on infusion rate was significant (p = 0.01) for the active stage of labor. IV Ringer’s lactate reduced the duration of active labor, the need for oxytocin augmentation and the prolonged labor incidence. However, it did not differ in effect on immediate neonatal health but was found to have more potential for reducing maternal vomiting as compared to usual care with unrestricted oral intake. Further research is needed to explore its effects in the larger and more diverse populations and with different IV fluids for evidence-based guidelines.
