Magnetic Properties of NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ and KH$_2$PO$_4$: Emergence of Multiferroic Salts

description: We observe sharp step-down discontinuities in the magnetic susceptibility of NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ and NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$-$d$$_{60}$ (60% deuterated) along the $a$ and $c$-axes occurring exactly at their antiferroelectric transition temperatures. For the case of KH$_2$PO$_4$, less pronounced discontinuities occur at the ferroelectric transition temperature. To explain this, we treat the acid protons as individual oscillators that generate current elements which translate to magnetic forces in near resonance with each other. With decreasing temperature, the resonant forces become more commensurate which amplifies a disproportionate drop off of two types of magnetic forces to eventually trigger the structural phase transitions. For the case of NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$, the associated internal magnetic field appears to aid the NH$_4$$^+$ to order at higher temperature. At 49 K, a shoulder-like anomaly in both NH$_4$H$_2$PO$_4$ and KH$_2$PO$_4$ is attributed to a possible onset of macroscopic quantum tunneling of protons. Our findings bring forth a new category of intrinsic multiferroic systems.

Not Munidopsis hamata, Retamal 1981: 23. The material deposited MZUC-CCC 31734, belongs to M. barrerai (see below)
Type locality. Gulf of Panama (07°21.00’N, 79°35.007’W, 935 m).
Distributional range. Baja California, Mexico, to the Gulf of Panama (Wicksten 1989) and Chile.
Bathymetric range. 390–1337 m
New record. MUAP (CD)-0308, 2 specimens, stn 8 “ PNUD /Chi/87” (18°24’S, 70°45’W), 390 m. One of the two specimens in MZUC-CCC 31734 belongs to M. hamata, collected in Iquique, with no other data available.
Description. Rostrum long, about half carapace length, slightly curved upward, armed with row of minute lateral and submarginal spines. Carapace almost rectangular, densely covered by minute spines; antennal spine absent; anterolateral spines short, not reaching anterior margin of carapace; cervical groove strong depressed; gastric and cardiac area of similar height, gastric with a longitudinal row of spines; cardiac region with strong medial spine projecting anteriorly; posterior margin with strong medial spine flanked by row of minor spines (Fig. 6 a). Second to third abdominal segments with medial spine-like tubercle flanked by minor spines (Fig. 6 b). Telson with nine plates (Fig. 6 c). Chelipeds equals in size and shape, palm almost twice length of fixed finger, armed with sparse spines and tubercles (Fig. 6 d). Carpus and merus armed with spines on both dorsal and ventral margins (Fig. 6 e, f). Pereiopods armed with sparse spines and tubercles (Fig. 6 g); dactyl armed only on ventral margin, with 8 or 9 spines (Fig. 6 h).
Remarks. The diagnostic characters of the analyzed specimens are well matched with those of the Baba (2005) and the original description in Faxon (1893). Almost no morphological variations were observed in the three specimens analyzed.
The record cited by Retamal (1981, 2000) as M. hamata, collected from Rada Chigualoco, 31°44'S, 71°41'W, Chile, is erroneous. The material is deposited in the Museum of Zoology, Universidad de Concepción (MZUC- CCC 31604), and belongs to M. barrerai.
Despite Retamal’s record, this is the first valid record of the species for Chile.

description: This study combined the bioinformatics and in vitro experiment-related technologies to analyze the impact of steroid 5 alpha-reductase 3 (SRD5A3) on the prognosis and immune microenvironment of Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma (LIHC). Gene expression and clinical data were obtained from public databases. The prognosis was evaluated using survival, multifactor Cox, enrichment, and mutation analyses. This was then verified through in vitro experiments. The expression level of SRD5A3 in LIHC tissues was significantly higher than that in the adjacent tissues. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis showed that high SRD5A3 expression was associated with poor overall survival (OS) and short progression-free survival in patients with LIHC. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that positive SRD5A3 expression was an independent risk factor for OS in patients with LIHC. Expression of SRD5A3 was negatively correlated with immune cell infiltration of CD4+ T, CD8+ T, and B cells. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that SRD5A3 was significantly enriched in signaling- and tumor metastasis-related pathways. Nomogram and calibration curve showed that the predicted performance of the model was consistent with the actual results. In vitro results confirmed that SRD5A3 knockdown inhibited the migration, invasion, and proliferation of LIHC cells. SRD5A3 is actively expressed in LIHC, and positive expression of SRD5A3 is an independent risk factor for different prognoses in patients with LIHC. SRD5A3 can promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of liver cancer cells and is related to short immune infiltration in patients with LIHC. High SRD5A3 expression is significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients with LIHC and may help assess tumor progression.Highly expressed SRD5A3 promotes migration, invasion, and proliferation of liver cancer cells.SRD5A3 expression is related to the degree of tumor immune cell infiltration.

description: The wireless channel is undergoing continuous changes, and the block-fading assumption, despite its popularity in theoretical contexts, never holds true in practical scenarios. This discrepancy is particularly critical for user activity detection in grant-free random access, where joint processing across multiple resource blocks is usually undesirable. In this paper, we propose employing a low-dimensional approximation of the channel to capture variations over time and frequency and robustify activity detection algorithms. This approximation entails projecting channel fading vectors onto their principal directions to minimize the approximation order. Through numerical examples, we demonstrate a substantial performance improvement achieved by the resulting activity detection algorithm.

Holidoteidae—Poore 2001: 223.— Poore 2003: 1807–1809.— Kensley, Schotte & Poore, 2007: 440.
Diagnosis (slightly modified from Poore 2003): Body straight, more or less flattened or semi-cylindrical. Head and pereonite 1 fused. Pereonite 4 of similar length to pereonite 3, not geniculate. All pleonites fused into pleotelson, or pleonite 1 articulating with fused pleotelson. Body smooth or slightly sculptured, or variously spinose or rugose; pleotelson without dorsolateral ridges ending in mediodorsal posterior spine. Dorsal coxal plates 2–7 obsolete, bases of pereopods exposed, or 2–7 obsolete and with expanded marginal tergites (females only). Mouthparts and pereopod 1 visible in lateral view (may be hidden by expanded tergites). Eyes well developed, or reduced or lost (rare). Antenna 2 flagellum of 2 or 3 articles plus distal claw. Pereopod 1 gnathopod, pereopods 2–4 elongated, differentiated from ambulatory pereopods 5–7. Pereopod 1 dactylus evenly curved along anterior margin, evenly tapering. Pereopods 2–4 with scattered and uneven long setae (sometimes pappose) along posterior margins; with short dactylus, unguis longer and setiform; pereopod 4 similar to pereopod 3. Pleonite 1 peduncle more elongate than on other pleopods; with marginal setae on rami longer than or equal to length of rami. Uropodal exopod shorter than wide, bearing single prominent robust seta, endopod with robust apical seta.
Pereopods of males without dense fur of fine setae. Penes fused as single penial plate; penial plate apically bifid and splayed. Pleopod 1 exopod thichened and with groove on posterior face, with overlapping rows of simple and plumose setae along lateral margin, terminating at subdistal excavation; with groove on posterior face of exopod ending on distolateral lobed tip, separated from most of lateral margin by notch. Pleopod 2 with appendix masculina about as long as endopod, basally less than half width of endopod.
Oostegites 1–4 functional, supported by coxal lobes; oostegite 5 absent.
Remarks: Holidoteidae contains three genera, Neoarcturus Barnard, 1914a, Austroarcturus Kensley, 1975 and the monotypic Holidotea Barnard, 1920 (Poore 2003). The arrangement of pereopods 2–4 and the form of the male pleopod 1 differentiate these genera. Pleuroprion is now added.

Material examined. Brazil, São Paulo: 1 ♂, CCDB 5901, RV Soloncy Moura Expedition, Point 14, 79m, colls. F. Zara et al., 18–21.viii.2015.
Distribution. Western Atlantic—Antilles, north of South America, Guianas, and Brazil (Amapá, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul) (Rathbun 1918; Holthuis 1959; Coelho & Ramos 1972; Fausto-Filho & Sampaio Neto 1976; Melo 1996, 2008, 2010; Coelho et al. 2008; Boos et al. 2012; Ng & Castro 2016).
Remarks. Record on the coast of São Paulo state was first mentioned in a continuous distribution range without specific locality by Coelho & Ramos (1972), and in Ubatuba as larvae phase obtained in the plankton (G. Hirose, unpublished thesis). Nucci & Melo (2012) mentioned the occurrence but no information about voucher individuals was provided; pending double check about this situation. This is an important record of adult specimens in São Paulo. Specimens are found from 25 to 210m (Melo et al. 1989; Melo 1996, 2010), and in the literature available the number of individuals captured is low.

description: Literature on the safety of remdesivir in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with severe renal impairment is limited. We aimed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of remdesivir in this population. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult hospitalized COVID-19 patients who received remdesivir between April 2022 and October 2022. Outcomes were compared between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 mL/min/1.73 m2 and ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2 groups. The primary safety outcomes were acute kidney injury (AKI) and bradycardia, while the primary effectiveness outcomes included mortality in COVID-19-dedicated wards and hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included laboratory changes, disease progression, and recovery time. A total of 1,343 patients were recruited, with 307 (22.9%) in the eGFR <30 group and 1,036 (77.1%) in the eGFR ≥30 group. Patients with an eGFR <30 had higher risks of AKI (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 2.92, 95% CI 1.93–4.44) and hospital mortality (aHR 1.47, 95% CI 1.06–2.05) but had comparable risks of bradycardia (aHR 1.15, 95% CI 0.85–1.56) and mortality in dedicated wards (aHR 1.43, 95% CI 0.90–2.28) than patients with an eGFR ≥30. Risk of disease progression was higher in the eGFR <30 group (adjusted odds ratio 1.62, 95% CI 1.16–2.26). No difference between the two groups in laboratory changes and recovery time. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients receiving remdesivir with severe renal impairment had an increased risk of AKI, hospital mortality, and COVID-19 disease progression compared to patients without severe renal impairment.

Description. Rostrum widely triangular, about half carapace length, curved upward, flattened dorsally. Carapace subrectangular covered with tubercles; without antennal and lateral spines; cervical groove well developed, gastric and cardiac regions elevated (Fig. 8 a). Second to fourth abdominal somites dorsomedially armed with strong, tooth-like tubercle, curved and anteriorly projecting (Fig. 8 b); pleuron of second somite and partially on third somite with tubercles. Chelipeds as long as 2 times carapace length, slightly cylindrical, surface with tubercles, dactyl one and one-half times length of palm (Fig. 8 c). Pereiopods long, first reaching basal part of cheliped, surface with tubercles, more dense on merus and carpus (Fig. 8 d), same ornamentation on carpus (Fig. 8 e) and merus (Fig. 8 f).
Remarks. This species is very characteristic because of the quadrangular shape of carapace. No differences compared to the original descriptions were observed.
The presence of authigenic carbonates at the sites where the last two specimens were collected indicates the presence of methane seeps nearby. These new records for Chile extend the range of the species by about 1750 km south, to 36°00.12’S (southwest off Constitución, Chile).

Diagnosis
The soldier of this species is readily distinguished from other species of the genus by the densely shagreened brown body; posterior corners of head each with four stout hairs, clypeus with several pairs of long pale hairs, pronotum with four pairs, mesonotum, propodeum and petiole each with a single pair of hairs, gaster with abundant, long, yellow hairs.
Material examined
Yemen, Socotra Island, Lehanoh, 22 April 2014, 931 m, (M. R. Sharaf leg.), 12.57583°N, 54.04836°E (18 w, KSMA, 1 w, CASC).
Geographic range
This species was described from Ghana and with a broad distribution in the Savannahs and forests of the Afrotropical region (Collingwood 1985). It was recorded from Socotra by Collingwood et al. (2004) with no records known from the Arabian Peninsula. In Socotra, this species has a limited distribution and is confined to a few sites at higher elevations.
Ecological and biological notes
This species appears to be uncommon, only collected from one locality during the present study. Workers were found foraging on twigs of Croton socotranus Balf. f. (Euphorbiaceae). It seems likely that the species may be confined to higher elevation sites above 900 m. It was recorded from Dixam Plateau 1000–1200 m (Collingwood et al. 2004).

Diskussion
van der Hammen (1952) weist darauf hin, daß Oudemans (1929) L. tremellae (L.) anhand der Synonymisierung mit Oribates globosus C. L. Koch identifiziert hat. Da letzte Art nach Grandjean (1936) aber mit Sicherheit kein Liacarus sei, ist bisher keine sichere Identifizierung von L. tremellae erfolgt und der Linnéschen Originalbeschreibung nach auch nicht möglich. Wir folgen daher der Synonymie von van der Hammen, der die Oudemannschen L. tremellae als L. subterraneus (C. L. Koch) identifiziert hat. Damit ist gleichzeitig L. tremellae sensu Willmann, 1931 synonym mit L. subterraneus, da sich Willmann auf die OUDEMANSsche Diagnose stützt. Ebenso kann als sicher gelten, daß L. tremellae sensu Sellnick, 1960 und L. globosus sensu Sellnick, 1928 mit L. subterraneus identisch sind.

Diskussion
Die Identifizierung dieser Art ist nach den genannten Autoren nicht ganz eindeutig; auch die Hinzunahme der Abbildung von Giljarov & Krivoluckij (1975:180) und der Beschreibung von Mihelcic (1957) bringt keine definitive Klärung. Gerade die Unmenge neuer Arten, die Mihelcic beschrieben hat, bestärken uns in der Annahme, daß Liacarus-Arten sehr variabel und teilweise zu synonymisieren sind, was bereits Schuster (1956) vermutet. Unsere Tiere stimmen mit seiner Beschreibung und Abbildung weitgehend überein, wenngleich seine Tiere mit 783-940 µm deutlich größer sind. Aus der Diskussion bei Schuster geht auch hervor, daß die Außenspitze der Cuspides sehr unterschiedlich ausgeprägt sein kann, bei seinen Tieren "deutlich und scharf", nach anderen Autoren fehlt sie gänzlich und bei unseren Tieren ist sie fast fehlend bis deutlich vorhanden. Leider wurde das unserer Meinung nach eindeutige Merkmal, die feine Längsriefung des Notogaster, bisher noch von niemand erwähnt.
Wir stützen die Identifizierung von L. coracinus vor allem auf folgende Merkmale:
- Die Kutikula des Notogaster weist eine feine Längsriefung auf, die allerdings nur im mikroskopischen Präparat nach Aufhellung in Form schmaler, langer, durchscheinender Streifen auszumachen ist,
-11 Notogasterhaare, fein, aber doch deutlich sichtbar,
- lange Interlamellarhaare,
- Lamellen vorne nicht verschmolzen, nur die Heftkanten bilden eine Translamelle mit einem kleinen, stumpfen Intercuspidalzahn,
- Cuspis innen mit langer, scharfer Spitze, außen an der Basis des Lamellarhaares nur mit einem kleinen, manchmal nur angedeuteten Zahn,
- dorsosejugale Linie median leicht konkav.

New records. MUAP (CD)-0175, 1 male cl 21.20 mm, off Arica, stn E-18 (18°25’S, 70°45’W, 390 m), “ PNUD ” survey; CZUCN, 1 male cl 21.44 mm, stn Z3 (33°15.48’S, 71°52.49’W, 323 m), FIP 2005-61 project (site is near a recently discovered methane seep site; J. Sellanes unpublished data).
Description. Rostrum straight, styliform with dorsal keel (Fig. 10 a). Carapace subrectangular, covered by scale-like tubercles, ending in minute apical spine surrounded by row of setae; carapace surface flat, regions and grooves poorly developed (Fig. 10 b). Eyes with spine overreaching cornea and tubercle on inner side. Abdominal somites unarmed, without keels or grooves (Fig. 10 c). Cheliped longer than carapace, armed on dorsal and ventral margins, spines better developed on dorsal face; dactyl almost half length of palm (Fig. 10 d). Walking legs longer than carapace, armed dorsally with row of spines (Fig. 10 e); merus and carpus with mesial row of spines; ventral margin of dactyl unarmed. More robust cheliped observed in adult males (Fig. 10 f, g).
Remarks. Munidopsis tanneri is closely related to M. scabra Faxon, 1893. The two species are clearly differentiated by the flattened dorsal carapace and long antennal spine in M. tanneri. Munidopsis scabra has been recorded off Peru (11°50'S, 77°58'W) (Garth & Haig 1971). This new record extends the range by more than 4000 km southward.

description: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) infection is associated with significant gut damage, similar to that observed in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This pathology includes loss of epithelial integrity, microbial translocation, dysbiosis, and resultant chronic immune activation. Additionally, the levels of all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA) are dramatically attenuated. Data on the therapeutic use of anti-α4β7 antibodies has shown promise in patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Recent evidence has suggested that the microbiome and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) metabolites it generates may be critical for anti-α4β7 efficacy and maintaining intestinal homeostasis. To determine whether the microbiome contributes to gut homeostasis after anti-α4β7 antibody administered to SIV-infected rhesus macaques, faecal SCFA concentrations were determined, 16S rRNA sequencing was performed, plasma viral loads were determined, plasma retinoids were measured longitudinally, and gut retinoid synthesis/response gene expression was quantified. Our results suggest that anti-α4β7 antibody facilitates the return of retinoid metabolism to baseline levels after SIV infection. Furthermore, faecal SCFAs were shown to be associated with retinoid synthesis gene expression and rebound viral loads after therapy interruption. Taken together, these data demonstrate the therapeutic advantages of anti-α4β7 antibody administration during HIV/SIV infection and that the efficacy of anti-α4β7 antibody may depend on microbiome composition and SCFA generation.

Blandford refers to slight differences in the degree of “gloss” in the elytral excavation without direct reference to individual specimens. Wood (1974: 35) described Xyleborus sharpi lenis as a new subspecies from Veracruz, Mexico, thereby implicitly designating a nominate subspecies, X. sharpi sharpi. Wood (1974, 1982, 1992, 2007) based his recognition of subspecies lenis (Veracruz, Mexico) and sharpi (Costa Rica, Panama) on slight morphological differences and geographic separation. In subsequent treatments (Wood 1982: 791, Wood & Bright 1992: 786, Wood 2007: 460) he treated the two subspecies as having disjunct distributions with X. sharpi lenis occurring in southeastern Mexico and X. sharpi sharpi occurring in Costa Rica and Panama.
In 1982 (p. 792) Wood designated a lectotype for X. sharpi sharpi citing the specimen from “Paraiso, prob. Panama ”, explicitly choosing to interpret the lectotype locality of sharpi Blandford as Panama, despite acknowledging that Blandford (1896: 199) stated that the locality was in Guatemala, later confirmed by Selander and Vaurie (1962). Among other considerations, this renders his arguments on disjunction of the two “subspecies” irrelevant. Subsequent collections in Oaxaca and Chiapas (Mexico) have closed the geographical gap between Veracruz (type locality of lenis) and Guatemala (type locality of sharpi). A new record from Honduras reported below further reduces any geographical disjunction. Some of Wood’s specimens labeled as T. sharpi sharpi have the declivity more shagreened in appearance, but this character is variable in both Mexican and Costa Rican specimens. In none of his publications did Wood make any mention of the specimens cited by Blandford from Veracruz.
Minute morphological differences may seem to justify taxonomic recognition when allopatry is involved. However I have examined numerous specimens from the Mexican states of Oaxaca and Chiapas and all specimens in the NMNH identified as either sharpi or lenis. In my opinion the minute differences cited by Wood simply do not merit subspecific recognition and I believe that there is a single species found from southeastern Mexico to Panama.
