title: Supplementary Material for: Dietary Factors and Prevention: Risk of End-Stage Kidney Disease by Fruit and Vegetable Consumption

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> The association between fruit and vegetable (FV) intake and the risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) has not been examined in the general population and fully explored in chronic kidney disease (CKD). We prospectively evaluated this relationship in US representative sample of adults and evaluated consistency by the presence or absence, and severity, of CKD. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We used data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988–1994) linked with the US Renal Data System, including 14,725 adults aged ≥20 years and with follow-up for ESKD through 2008. Daily FV intake was ascertained using a food frequency questionnaire. We examined the association between selected categories of FV intake and ESKD using a Fine Gray competing risk model adjusting for sociodemographics, lifestyle, clinical and nutritional factors, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and albuminuria. We evaluated whether risk varied in individuals with severe versus any CKD. <b><i>Results:</i></b> 230 participants (1.5%) developed ESKD during follow-up. In the adjusted model, compared to highest intake, those in lowest categories of FV intake had a higher risk of ESKD, for &lt;2 times/day (1.45 [1.24–1.68], 2 to &lt;3 times/day (1.40 [1.18–1.61]), 3 to &lt;4 times/day (1.25 [1.04–1.46]), and 4 to &lt;6 times/day (1.14 [0.97–1.31]). There was suggestion of heterogeneity (<i>p</i> for interaction = 0.03) with possible stronger inverse association in patients with CKD than those without CKD. After stratification, we obtained similar strong inverse association when we examined ESKD incidence across intake of FVs in participants with CKD stages 1–4 (<i>n</i> = 5,346) and specifically in those with CKD stages 3–4 (<i>n</i> = 1,084). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Low intake of FVs was associated with higher risk of ESKD in US adults with and without CKD, supporting an emerging body of literature on the potential benefits of plant-rich diets for prevention of ESKD.

title: T cells sense rigidity of microscale structures

description: Cells have the remarkable ability to sense the mechanical stiffness of their surroundings. This has been studied extensively in the context of cells interacting with planar surfaces, a conceptually elegant model that also has application in biomaterial design. However, physiological interfaces are spatially complex, exhibiting topographical features that are described over multiple scales. This report explores mechanosensing of microstructured elastomer surfaces by CD4+ T cells, key mediators of the adaptive immune response. We show that T cells form complex interactions with elastomer micropillar arrays, extending processes into spaces between structures and forming local areas of contraction and expansion dictated by the layout of microtubules within this interface. Conversely, cytoskeletal reorganization and intracellular signaling are sensitive to the pillar dimensions and flexibility. Unexpectedly, these measures show different responses to substrate rigidity, suggesting competing processes in overall T cell mechanosensing. The results of this study demonstrate that T cells sense the local rigidity of their environment, leading to new strategies for biomaterial design.<br>

title: Nystagmus in patients with unilateral acute otitis media complicated by serous labyrinthitis

description: <b>Conclusion</b> The patients with serous labyrinthitis caused by acute otitis media (AOM) exhibited various patterns of nystagmus in which direction-fixed irritative-type nystagmus was the most common pattern. Differential effects on inner ear function by toxic or inflammatory mediators may be responsible for the various manifestation of nystagmus. <b>Objective</b> This study aimed to investigate nystagmus patterns in patients with serous labyrinthitis, and discuss possible mechanisms. <b>Methods</b> From October 2011 to March 2014, 13 consecutive patients with serous labyrinthitis were included. Eye movements of the patients were serially examined using video-nystagmography, and patterns of nystagmus were investigated. <b>Results</b> The most commonly observed pattern was direction-fixed nystagmus (nine of 13 patients). Of these, eight showed irritative-type, and one showed paretic-type. Direction of nystagmus, although the intensity gradually decreased, was not changed during the course of treatment. One patient showed direction-changing spontaneous nystagmus, which changed into paretic-type direction-fixed nystagmus 1 day after myringotomy. Three patients exhibited persistent direction-changing positional nystagmus in a supine head-roll test. Of them, two showed apogeotropic and one showed geotropic type. In all 13 patients, vertigo and hearing loss were improved after the treatment.

title: Supplementary Material for: Finerenone in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and Type 2 Diabetes: FIDELIO-DKD subgroup from China

description: Background: This prespecified subgroup analysis of the FIDELIO-DKD trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of finerenone in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in China. Methods: Three hundred and seventy-two participants were recruited from 67 centers in China and randomized 1:1 to oral finerenone or placebo with standard therapy for T2DM. The primary composite outcome included kidney failure, sustained decrease of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 40% from baseline over at least 4 weeks, or renal death. The key secondary composite outcome included death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure. Results: After a median follow-up of 30 months, the finerenone group showed a relative risk reduction (RRR) of 41% (hazard ratio [HR]=0.59, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.39 to 0.88; p=0.009) for the primary composite outcome compared with placebo, consistent across its components with treatment benefits with finerenone. Based on an absolute between-group difference of 12.2% after 30 months, the number of patients who needed to be treated (NNT) with finerenone to prevent one primary outcome event was eight (95%CI: 4 to 84). For the key secondary composite outcome, the finerenone group showed a RRR of 25% (HR=0.75, 95% CI, 0.38 to 1.48; p=0.408). Adverse events were similar between the two groups. The effects of finerenone on blood pressure were modest. No gynecomastia events were reported in the study. Hyperkalemia leading to discontinuation occurred in eight (4.3%) and two (1.1%) participants in the finerenone and control groups, respectively. The incidence of acute kidney injury was comparable between the two groups (1.6% vs. 1.6%). Conclusions: Finerenone resulted in lower risks of CKD progression than placebo and a balanced safety profile in Chinese patients with CKD and T2DM.

title: Supplementary Material for: Dexamethasone Implant Migration through an Iris Coloboma

description: Ozurdex® 0.7 mg (dexamethasone 0.7 mg implant, Allergan, Dublin, Ireland), an intravitreal biodegradable implant, is indicated for cystoid macular edema due to various causes. One of its known and uncommon complications is implant migration to the anterior chamber, causing corneal edema that, in some cases, is irreversible. Reported risk factors for device migration are open or defective lens capsule and prior history of vitrectomy. We present a case of dexamethasone implant migration through a congenital iris coloboma in a pseudophakic patient with an intact lens capsule. The patient is a 56-year-old pseudophakic man with a history of congenital iris coloboma, myopia, retinal tears, and a branch retinal vein occlusion with subsequent cystoid macular edema resistant to anti-VEGF medications but responsive to corticosteroids. He presented with sudden painless decreased vision in his left eye, 8 weeks following dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex) injection to the same eye. Upon presentation, he was diagnosed with corneal edema caused by anterior chamber migration of the implant. He was referred for immediate surgical intervention to extract the implant, with a resolution of the corneal edema within 2 weeks postoperatively. To conclude, this is the first case that reports Ozurdex implant migration through an iris coloboma in the setting of an intact posterior capsule. In addition, we describe a novel surgical approach for implant removal from the anterior chamber that is simple and efficient.

title: <b>Data set (Annexures) related to the study ‘TECH-SPOT’: A Technology-Enhanced Assessment of Spotting Anatomical Structures: Feasibility and Challenges</b>

description: In anatomical practical examinations, Spotters are used for real-time assessment. This method involves pre-dissected specimens with structures pinned or tied. While it's suitable for small groups, it's challenging for large groups. To address this, we propose using 'Technology Enhanced Anatomy Spotters,' i.e., 'Image Based Spotters,' for formative assessments. The study involved here will explore students' and faculty' perceptions of this approach and identifies challenges in its conduct.

title: Supplementary Material for: A Long-Term Study to Evaluate Acidic Skin Care Treatment in Nursing Home Residents: Impact on Epidermal Barrier Function and Microflora in Aged Skin

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> The pH of the stratum corneum (SC) in the elderly is elevated and linked to impaired SC function. Therefore, this paper addresses the question of whether acidic skin care generates positive clinical, biophysical, and microbiological effects in aged skin. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This study was performed to assess skin care effects in nursing home residents (aged 80-97 years). Visual, biophysical, and microbiological methods were used. Subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups and treated over 7 weeks with skin care products adjusted to a pH of 4.0 (group A) or a pH of 6.0 (group B). <b><i>Results:</i></b> Compared to baseline, SC integrity improved significantly in group A (p = 0.007), whereas there was no change in group B (p = 0.672). SC recovery 24 h after perturbation increased significantly in group A (p = 0.004) compared to baseline. The SC recovery in group B was not significant compared to baseline (p = 0.327). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Long-term treatment with pH 4.0 skin care results in a significant improvement in epidermal barrier function compared to identical products with a pH of 6.0. In addition, effects on skin dryness and resident flora were demonstrated, but without significant differences, between the 2 groups. Based on these results, we recommend adjustment of skin care products for the elderly to a pH of 4.0 to maintain the health of aged skin.

title: <b>Leadership Behavior: Ethical Consideration in Decision-Making</b>

description: <b>Abstract</b>This conceptual paper aims to explore the relationship between a leader’s consideration of ethics in decision – making and the behavior-change of those affected by that decision. I propose that it benefits both the influencer and the influenced when ethics is considered. In making that argument I seek to answer the question I often ask myself, why is it beneficial to consider ethics in decision making when increased revenue is the goal for organizations? In analyzing the findings of a series of published studies found at Google Scholar that examine all aspects of this relationship, this paper applied the utilitarian consequential theory to highlight the most ethical (i.e., has the greatest benefit) responses that emerge from these case study findings. Greek philosopher Epicurus developed the consequential theory to describe the response from acts, such as decision – making, as causing pleasure or pain responses. Philosopher Bentham expanded the consequential theory of pleasure or pain responses from actions to measure the pleasure or pain responses as good or bad (i.e., utilitarian). In conclusion, what the analysis of these 14 case study findings are saying about the benefit of ethical consideration in decision – making by individuals in leadership roles, I hope to create dialogue about the why it benefits them also if ethics in decision – making is considered. Collectively the case studies indicate there are several styles of leaders that consider ethics in decision – making and those that do, benefit along with those influenced by their decisions.

title: Dataset on the changes in the gut microbiome and host metabolism in diabetic mice after transplantation of faecal microbiota from healthy young mice

description: Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is becoming as a promising area of interest for treating refractory diseases, but its efficacy in diabetic cognitive decline remains unclear and the potential mechanisms are even unknown. Herein we transplanted faecal microbiota from healthy young mice to streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic (T1D) mice with a 30-week history of diabetes and investigated their cognitive changes using the Morris water maze test and its possible mechanisms. In order to examine the gut microbial changes, we used a 16S rRNA gene sequencing approach to analyze the gut microbiome in feces of healthy control (CON) mice, type 1 diabetic (T1D) mice, and T1D mice with faecal microbiota transplantation from healthy young mice (FMT). Additionally, to study antibiotic effect on host metabolism, a <sup>1</sup>H NMR-based metabolomics approach was applied to analyze metabolic changes in feces, colonic tissues, serum, and hippocampus.

title: Data from Sphingosine kinase and sphingosine-1-phosphate regulate epithelial cell architecture by the modulation of de novo sphingolipid synthesis

description: Sphingolipids regulate several aspects of cell behavior and it has been demonstrated that cells adjust their sphingolipid metabolism in response to metabolic needs. Particularly, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a final product of sphingolipid metabolism, is a potent bioactive lipid involved in the regulation of various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, cell migration, actin cytoskeletal reorganization and cell adhesion. In previous work in rat renal papillae, we showed that sphingosine kinase (SK) expression and S1P levels are developmentally regulated and control de novo sphingolipid synthesis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the participation of SK/S1P pathway in the triggering of cell differentiation by external hypertonicity. We found that hypertonicity evoked a sharp decrease in SK expression, thus activating the de novo sphingolipid synthesis pathway. Furthermore, the inhibition of SK activity evoked a relaxation of cell-cell adherens junction (AJ) with accumulation of the AJ complex (E-cadherin/β-catenin/α-catenin) in the Golgi complex, preventing the acquisition of the differentiated cell phenotype. This phenotype alteration was a consequence of a sphingolipid misbalance with an increase in ceramide levels. Moreover, we found that SNAI1 and SNAI2 were located in the cell nucleus with impairment of cell differentiation induced by SK inhibition, a fact that is considered a biochemical marker of epithelial to mesenchymal transition. So, we suggest that the expression and activity of SK1, but not SK2, act as a control system, allowing epithelial cells to synchronize the various branches of sphingolipid metabolism for an adequate cell differentiation program.

title: Code for: Measuring beta-diversity with abundance data

description: Simulations to manipulate the structure of pairs of species assemblages, calculate 33 beta-diversity metrics and score the desirable properties (including conceptual and sampling properties) and the personality properties of each metric. These are the simulations used to generate the results in the manuscript Barwell, Isaac and Kunin. Measuring beta-diversity with abundance data. Journal of Animal Ecology. Conceptual properties (C1-C16) are intrinsic and depend on the design of the metric. Sampling properties (S1 - S2) reflect the statistical behaviour of the metrics when applied to sampled assemblage data, as opposed to the true assemblage structure. The method of evaluation for each property is given in brackets below. Conceptual properties C1) Independence of alpha diversity (RMSE) C2) Beta is cumulative along gradient of species turnover (RMSE) C3) Similarity is probabilistic when assemblages are distributed indepndently and identically in space (RMSE) C4) Minimum of zero and positiveness (TRUE/FALSE) C5) Fixed upper bound R (TRUE/FALSE) C6) Monotonic increase with species turnover (TRUE/FALSE) C7) Monotonic increase with decoupling of species ranks (TRUE/FALSE) C8) Monotonic increase with differences in evenness (TRUE/FALSE) C9) Beta under extreme decoupling of species ranks &lt; beta when species turnover is complete (TRUE/FALSE) C10) Beta under extreme differences in evenness &lt; beta when species turnover is complete (TRUE/FALSE) C11) Symmetry (Beta(x1, x2)==Beta(x2,x1)) (TRUE/FALSE) C12) Double zero asymmetry (TRUE/FALSE) C13) Beta does not decrease in a series of nested assemblages (TRUE/FALSE) C14) Independence of species replication (RMSE) C15) Independence of the measurement units (RMSE) C16) Independence of differences in abundance (RMSE) Sampling properties S1) Independence of sample size (RMSE) S2) Independence of unequal sample sizes (RMSE) Personality properties P1) Sensitivity to nestedness R P2) Relative sensitivity to nestedness and turnover components of beta P3) Relative sensitivity to decoupling of species ranks and species turnover components of beta P4) Relative sensitivity to evenness differences and species turnover components of beta P5) Relative sensitivity to turnover in rare versus common species We also consider two additional scenarios in our discussion and report the results in the Supplementary Information E1) Patterns of turnover predicted by a positive occupancy-abundance relationship (ONR): rare species are more likely to be turned over E2) Scale-dependence of beta-diversity.
