title: Supplementary Material for: Effects of Psychotherapy on Glutamatergic Neurotransmission

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Psychodynamic psychotherapy is an effective and widely used treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD); however, little is known about neurobiological changes associated with induced symptom improvement. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy with a two-dimensional J-resolved sequence served to test the relationship between glutamate (Glu) and glutamine (Gln) levels, measured separately in pregenual anterior cingulate cortex (pgACC) and the anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC) as a control region, with change in depression symptoms after 6 months of weekly psychodynamic psychotherapy sessions in MDD patients. Depressed (<i>N</i> = 45) and healthy (<i>N</i> = 30) subjects participated in a baseline proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurement and a subgroup of MDD subjects (<i>N</i> = 21) then received once-a-week psychodynamic psychotherapy and participated in a second proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurement after 6 months. Change in depression symptoms was assessed using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD). <b><i>Results:</i></b> Higher pretreatment pgACC Gln concentrations in MDD patients compared to healthy controls were associated with symptom severity. Patients and controls did not differ regarding Gln levels in aMCC nor regarding Glu levels in both regions. The association of pgACC Gln concentration and severity of depressive symptoms was reversed after 6 months of psychotherapy in MDD subjects. Regarding Gln in aMCC as well as Glu in both regions, there were no significant associations with improvement of depressive symptoms in the course of psychotherapy. <b><i>Discussion:</i></b> Findings indicate specific regional effects of psychodynamic psychotherapy on glutamatergic neurotransmission and thereby highlight the key role of the pgACC in both depression pathophysiology and recovery.

title: Pesticide concentrations in bees and other matrices collected from sunflower fields (with and without a neonicotinoid seed treatment) near Sacramento, California

description: Hybrid sunflower production occurs near Sacramento in Northern California where seed treatments are commonly used. In this study, four locations were sampled in 2016 as matched pairs; half of each field was sown with thiamethoxam treated seed and half without. In addition to the thiamethoxam seed treatment, all seeds were coated with two fungicides, fludioxonil and mefenoxam/metalaxyl. Both wild bee and honey bee pesticide exposure was assessed by analyzing field soil, sunflower pollen and nectar, honey bees (pollen and nectar foraging) and a sunflower specialist wild bee, Melissodes agilis. Samples were extracted via pressurized liquid extraction (except nectar which underwent a room temperature solvent extraction) with an organic solvent followed by solid phase extraction cleanup. Samples were analyzed for 168 pesticides and degradates using both gas and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. While only one of the three seed coating pesticides (thaimethoxam) was detected, 25 other pesticides and degradates were also measured. In total, 5 insecticides, 9 herbicides, 7 fungicides, and 5 degradates detected across all matrices. There were 7 pesticides and degradates detected in M. agilis, 4 in honey bees, 6 in nectar, 6 in pollen, and 23 in soil. These results indicate the bees visiting sunflower fields are exposed to more pesticides than those used as seed coatings including those pesticides applied to other nearby crops (e.g., rice, tomatoes and walnuts).

title: Supplementary Material for: Gut Microbiome Composition and Its Association with Sleep in Major Psychiatric Disorders

description: Introduction: Sleep disturbances are highly prevalent across most major psychiatric disorders. Alterations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, neuroimmune mechanisms and circadian rhythm disturbances partially explain this connection. The gut microbiome is also suspected to play a role in sleep regulation and recent studies suggest that certain probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics and fecal microbiome transplantation can improve sleep quality. Methods: We aimed to assess the relationship between gut-microbiota -composition, psychiatric disorders and sleep quality, in this cross-sectional, cross-disorder study. We recruited 103 participants, 63 patients with psychiatric disorders (Major Depressive Disorder n=31, Bipolar Disorder n=13, Psychotic Disorder n=19) along with 40 healthy controls. Sleep quality was assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The fecal microbiome was analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing, and groups were compared based on alpha- and beta-diversity metrics as well as differentially abundant species and genera. Results: A transdiagnostic decrease in alpha diversity and differences in beta diversity indices were observed in psychiatric patients, compared to controls. Correlation analysis of diversity metrics and PSQI score showed no significance in the patient and control groups. However, three species, Ellagibacter isourolithinifaciens, Senegalimassilia faecalis and uncultured Blautia sp. and two genera, Senegalimassilia and uncultured Muribaculaceae genus were differentially abundant in psychiatric patients with good sleep quality (PSQI &gt; 8), compared to poor sleep quality patients (PSQI ≤ 8). Conclusion: In conclusion, this study raises important questions about the interconnection of the gut microbiome and sleep disturbances.

title: Supplementary Material for: Maternal, Perinatal, and Postnatal Predisposing Factors of Hearing Loss in Full-Term Children: A Matched Case-Control Study

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Studies on risk factors for childhood hearing loss (HL) are usually based on questionnaires or small sample sizes. We conducted a nationwide population-based case-control study to comprehensively analyze the maternal, perinatal, and postnatal risk factors for HL in full-term children. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We retrieved data from three nationwide databases related to maternal characteristics, perinatal comorbidities, and postnatal characteristics and adverse events. We used 1:5 propensity score matching to include 12,873 full-term children with HL and 64,365 age-, sex-, and enrolled year-matched controls. Conditional logistic regression was used to evaluate the risk factors for HL. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Among the various maternal factors, maternal HL (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 8.09, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 7.16–9.16) and type 1 diabetes (aOR: 3.79, 95% CI: 1.98–7.24) had the highest odds of childhood hearing impairment. The major perinatal risk factors for childhood hearing impairment included ear malformations (aOR: 58.78, 95% CI: 37.5–92.0) and chromosomal anomalies (aOR: 6.70, 95% CI: 5.25–8.55), and the major postnatal risk factors included meningitis (aOR: 2.08, 95% CI: 1.18–3.67) and seizure (aOR: 3.71, 95% CI: 2.88–4.77). Other factors included acute otitis media, postnatal ototoxic drug use, and congenital infections. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Many risk factors for childhood HL identified in our study are preventable, such as congenital infection, meningitis, ototoxic drug use, and some maternal comorbidities. Accordingly, more effort is required to prevent and control the severity of maternal comorbidities during pregnancy, initiate genetic diagnostic evaluation for high-risk children, and aggressive screening for neonatal infections.

title: Neurosurgical intraoperative ultrasonography using contrast enhanced superb microvascular imaging -vessel density and appearance time of the contrast agent-

description: Ultrasonography (US) provides real-time information on structures within the skull during neurosurgical operations. Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) is the latest imaging technique for detecting very low-velocity flow with minimal motion artifacts, and we have reported on this technique for intraoperative US monitoring. We combined SMI with administration of contrast agent to obtain detailed information during neurosurgical operations. Twenty patients diagnosed with brain tumor (10 meningiomas, 5 glioblastomas, 2 hemangioblastomas, 1 schwannoma, 1 malignant lymphoma, 1 brain abscess) underwent neurosurgery under US with SMI and contrast agent techniques. Vessel density and appearance time following contrast administration were analyzed. Flow in numerous vessels was not visualized by SMI alone, but appeared following injection of contrast agent in all cases. Flow in tumors was drastically enhanced by contrast agent in schwannoma, hemangioblastoma and meningioma, compared to normal brain tissue. Flows in the dilated and bent vessels of glioblastoma were also enhanced, although flow in hypoechoic lymphoma remained inconspicuous. The characteristics of tumor vessels were clearly visualized and tumor borders were demonstrated by the difference between tumor flow and brain flow, by the increased tumor vessel density and decreased appearance time of contrast agent compared to normal brain vessels. The combination of SMI and contrast agent techniques for intraoperative US monitoring could provide innovative flow images of tumor and normal brain. The neurosurgeon obtains information about tumor flow and tumor borderline before tumor resection.

title: New load transfer structure to reduce body deformation in side collisions

description: In this research, body technology was established for side collisions with new IIHS MDB as a representative case. In the conventional body structure, most of the load received from the barrier is absorbed by bending deformation of the door beam and B-pillar, etc. For that reason, the body is subjected to large deformation before reaching the maximum load, and the deformation increases further when subjected to a high-energy collision. Therefore, the objective of this research is to create a structure that increases the load from the initiation of impact and suppresses the deformation of the car body. An arched door beam was developed to reduce the bending moment by the axial load in the longitudinal direction generated during the deformation and to increase the load in the lateral direction. A principle equation was developed that uses the shape of the door beam as a variable. A prototype of the arched door beam was fabricated, and its performance was evaluated by an impactor test. A full-car simulation was conducted using a mass-produced sedan as a base, to which the arched door beam was added to verify the performance of the complete vehicle. The results of the impactor tests were evaluated using the load gradient, which was defined as the generated load divided by the amount of deformation. Compared to conventional straight door beams, the load gradient was 7.1 times higher. Full-car simulation results showed that for a gasoline-powered vehicle body weight, the body load gradient of the proposed structure was 4.7 times higher, and the body deformation adjacent to the dummy shoulder was reduced by 210 mm. Spine acceleration of the dummy was reduced by 56%. The body structure proposed in this research has the effect of increasing the load gradient and reducing body deformation and spine acceleration. It is expected to be applicable to EVs and FCVs, which require more energy absorption due to their increased vehicle weight.

title: Load distribution structure of rear bumper beam to enhance vehicle body energy absorption in rear-end collisions

description: This research focused on FMVSS301, which is required for higher energy absorption as a regulation for rear-end collisions. Since they are offset collisions, the deformation of the non-collision side frame, which does not directly contact the barrier, is less than on the collision side. The reason is that the rear bumper beam with curvature is deformed into a straight shape by the load from the barrier, resulting in an asymmetrical load distribution from the barrier that is biased toward the collision side. Therefore, the objective of this research was to construct a new bumper beam structure that reduces the difference in the load input to both frames and increases the energy absorption of the non-collision side frame. The basic principle is to generate a counterforce against the lateral loads during transmitting the load from barrier to the frames. To achieve this, a bow-shaped rear bumper beam structure was devised. The rear bumper beam corresponds to the bow and the newly added connection plate to the string. The lateral load increase is suppressed and load distribution to the rear frame is maintained. The designed rear bumper beam and rear components equipped with the rear bumper beam were both prepared and evaluated by drop test. With testing of the rear bumper beam, it was demonstrated that the load in the lateral direction, which conventionally generates over 80 kN, could be canceled. Tests of the rear component demonstrated that load distribution to the rear frame could be maintained, and the energy absorption of the non-collision side frame could be enhanced by 35 times. The total energy absorption of the barrier and the two frames was demonstrated to increase 2.9 times. The bow-shaped rear bumper beam was designed to distribute the load evenly to the collision and non-collision side frames, and to deform both frames, thereby achieving a higher energy absorption of the entire vehicle body. This is expected to be applicable to electric vehicles and FCVs, which require more energy absorption with increased vehicle weight.
