Afrotropical Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) : description of the hitherto unknown male of C. walkeri Boorman, 1979 from South Africa

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The genus Culicoides Latreille is represented by 160 described species in the Afrotropical \nRegion; of these, approximately 10 % are plain-wing species, the wing lacking a distinctive \npattern of pale and dark spots. This plain-wing sector includes C. walkeri Boorman which, till \nnow, has been known only in the female, based on nine specimens fromKenya. The hitherto \nunknown male of C. walkeri is described here (and the female redescribed) based on material \ncollected in South Africa since 1970. Culicoides walkeri can be distinguished from other \nplain-wing species in its pale ochreous colour, the robust shape of the male genitalia, and the \nsensilla coeloconica distribution which, uniquely, is the same in both sexes (occurring \non flagellomeres 1–12). Though the feeding habits of C. walkeri are not known, its greatly \ninflated third palpal segment and the copious number of sensilla found on the flagellum, \nindicate it to be ornithophilic. Culicoides walkeri would appear to be confined to the frost-free \nsavannas of the eastern length of Africa, from the equator southwards; its limited distribution \nin South Africa is mapped and shows that this uncommon species is confined to the Central \nBushveld, the Lowveld and the Mopane bioregions. We propose that C. walkeri remain \nunplaced to subgenus.

Summary conservation action plans for Mongolian mammals

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The assessments were carried out during the Mongolian Biodiversity Workshop from October 31st to November 4th 2005. The assessments revealed a number of trends affecting the mammals of Mongolia. Twenty-one Mongolian mammal species were identified as regionally threatened. Of these, the majority are represented by carnivores and ungulates (Artiodactyla and Perissiodactyla), which are predominantly threatened by overexploitation. These summary conservation action plans are intended to highlight species of particular concern and to alert policy-makers, conservationists, and government and planning authorities of actions that will help to ensure that all mammals of Mongolia maintain viable populations into the future. Detailed action plans are already in place for some of the species in this document; the summary conservation action plans for Mongolian mammals are not intended to replace these documents, but to accompany them, and further details are provided for action plans already available. Each summary conservation action plan presents information about the status of the species, the current known distribution, threats faced, conservation measures presently established, and recommended conservation measures. The future of Mongolia's mammalian biodiversity depends on the response of the Mongolian and global community to the plight of the species discussed in these summary conservation action plans.
Physics-informed neural networks for spherical indentation problems

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A scientific deep learning (SciDL) approach was developed by integrating a regression-based spherical indentation method with an artificial neural network (ANN) to extract elastic–plastic properties from indentation load-depth curves. Different combinations of material parameters are constructed through Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) process to create a database of indentation parameters. An attempt is made to reversely obtain load-depth (P-h) data using a regression function for a given set of material parameters; this method is further verified by performing finite element (FE) simulations. SciDL models i.e., physics-informed artificial neural network (PI-ANN) with autoencoder (AE) are built based on PyTorch library, and the models are trained using the generated database. Transfer learning (TL) techniques are employed to achieve better training performance with the PI-ANN model. Compared with data-driven models, SciDL models produce consistent predictions with higher accuracy; the coefficient of determination R2 values are observed greater than 0.960. TL techniques allows the SciDL model to learn much faster (≈ 42 epochs) than traditional method (≈ 2400 epochs). Finally, we perform spherical indentation experiments on STS304 and SM45C, and validate the performance of the trained SciDL models; AE integrated PI-ANN model with tanh activation function predicts the material properties close to reference values of SS400 and SM45C. The proposed SciDL approach can be extended for characterizing engineering materials and structures by incorporating any priorly developed mechanical testing method with ANN.

The ugly duckling of aphasia: cerebral venous sinus thrombosis as a mimic of TIA and stroke

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis may present with transient aphasia and focal seizure-likeactivity mimicking a TIA or stroke. In this case, the patient's presentation was further complicated by non-diagnostic CT findings, which can be common in up to 27% of cases [1]. An 86-year-old right-handed male with a history of colon adenocarcinoma status post resection and recent surgery for right sphenoid wing meningioma presented to the ED with transient episodes of fluent aphasia lasting approximately 10 minutes and one episode of involuntary right-hand clenching, both of which resolved spontaneously and were concerning for possible TIA. Non-contrast head CT, CTA head and neck, and CT perfusion studies showed non-opacification of the left transverse and sigmoid sinuses, but no perfusion defects. Subsequent MRI brain with gadolinium revealed a new left transverse sinus thrombus. EEG was without epileptiform features. For the 13-day remainder of his hospitalization the patient received low molecular weight heparin for anticoagulation, and he experienced no recurrence of his symptoms. He was discharged on apixiban and levetiracetam to follow-up for possible tumor recurrence. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis can present with stroke-like symptoms, and CT perfusion studies can be normal. CT venography, MRI with gadolinium, and MR venography are sensitive imaging modalities for diagnosing dural sinus thrombosis and should be considered, especially for patients with hypercoagulable risk factors, MR venography being the most sensitive, preferred modality [2]. Additionally, it is important to recall the laterality of focal symptoms, as a history of cerebrovascular disease can be a confounding factor in diagnosis.
Inapparent Streptococcus pneumoniae type 35 infections in commercial rats and mice.

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Streptococcus pneumoniae was isolated from specific-pathogen-free rodents in two rooms at a commercial breeding facility during vendor surveillance testing. In a survey of 274 animals from the two rooms over a period of 7 months, capsular serotype 35 S. pneumoniae was isolated from the upper respiratory tracts of 11% (9 of 82) of C57BL/6 mice in room A and 14% (10 of 72) of F344 rats in room B, but not from WKY rats, BALB/c mice or DBA/2 mice from room A. In both C57BL/6 mice and F344 rats, older rodents had higher colonization frequencies. Nasal lavage cultures gave the best results in identifying colonized rodents. No clinical illness or microscopic lesions were associated with pneumococcal colonization in rats or mice, and no other evidence of potential pathogen infection was found except for positive serologic tests for mouse rotavirus in mice. This is the first report of natural pneumococcal infection in mice, and the first report of type 35 S. pneumoniae infection in rodents. The findings support an earlier observation that pneumococcal infections in rat colonies tend to be monotypic and suggest that the same may be true in mice.
Biodiversity and Potential Activity of Microorganisms in Underground Gas Storage Horizons

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The share of molecular hydrogen as a source of “green energy” is currently significantly increasing. It is proposed to use existing underground natural gas storage facilities to store large volumes of hydrogen. In Russia, depleted oil and gas fields (DOGFs) and deep aquifers are used for natural gas storage. The purpose of this work was to determine microbial diversity in DOGF and deep aquifers by cultural and 16S rRNA gene-based approaches and the effect of H2 on the growth of microorganisms from the underground gas storage (UGS) horizons. The composition of the microbial community inhabiting the formation water of the Peschano–Umetskoe depleted oil and gas reservoir was typical for microbial communities of oil reservoirs and included bacteria of the phyla Bacillota (Dethiosulfatibacter, Defluviitalea, Acetobacterium, Syntrophobotulus), Actinobacteriota (Dietzia, Rhodococcus), Spirochaetota (Sphaerochaeta), Pseudomonadota (Shewanella), and Bacteroidota (Petrimonas), together with methanogenic archaea of the phylum Euryarchaeota (Methanobacterium). In some formation water samples, the share of methanogens of the genus Methanobacterium reached 61.6% of the total community; these hydrogen-utilizing organisms may contribute to the formation of methane in the reservoirs used for the storage of molecular hydrogen. Microbial communities of UGSs located in aquifers were less diverse and abundant. Cultivable hydrogenotrophic sulfate-reducing, homoacetogenic, and methanogenic prokaryotes were retrieved from the studied aquifers and from the DOGF used for gas storage. Microorganisms present in the condensation and reservoir waters of the UGS facilities can influence the composition of the water and gas phase, and affect the host rocks and borehole equipment.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Objective To observe the effect of Tianzhi granule (Chinese patent medicine) on the learning and memory ability and proliferative levels of pre-nerve cells and astroglial cells in vascular dementia rats. Methods One hundred and ninety-two old Sprage-Dawleye rats (male) were randomly asigned to treated group, model group, sham operated group, and normal control group (48 rats in each group). Vascular dementia rats were established by bilateral common carotid artery ligature in treated group and model group. Sixty days after operation, Tianzhi granule 5 g/(kg·d) were given to the rats in treated group for 30 days. Three equal divided Y type electric mazing test was used to examine learning and memory ability. Immunohistochemical method with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) was applied to observe the changes of nerve cell proliferation, and compare the changes and differences of learning and memory ability and nerve cell proliferation among the 4 groups. Results No significant differences were seen in learning and memory ability and results of immunohistochemical test between normal control group and sham operated group. After 30 days of Tianzhi granule treatment, comparing with model group learning and memory ability significantly improved (P 0.05), BrdU positive cells significantly increased (P 0.05), astroglial cells significantly decreased (P 0.05) in treated group, but comparing with normal control group, learning and memory ability, the number of BrdU positve cells and astroglial cells did not reduced to normol level (P 0.05) in treated group. Conclusion Tianzhi granule could inhibit the proliferation of astroglial cells by promoting pre-nerve cells proliferation to improve the learning and memory ability of vascular dementia rats.

Assessing microbiome population dynamics using wild-type isogenic standardized hybrid (WISH)-tags

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Microbiomes feature recurrent compositional structures under given environmental conditions. However, these patterns may conceal diverse underlying population dynamics that require intra-strain resolution. Here, we developed a genomic tagging system, termed wild-type isogenic standardized hybrid (WISH)-tags, that can be combined with quantitative PCR and next-generation sequencing for microbial strain enumeration. We experimentally validated the performance of 62 tags and showed they can be differentiated with high precision. WISH-tags were introduced into model and non-model bacterial members of the mouse and plant microbiota. Intra-strain priority effects were tested using one species of isogenic barcoded bacteria in the murine gut and the Arabidopsis phyllosphere, both with and without microbiota context. We observed colonization resistance against late arriving strains of Salmonella typhimurium in the mouse gut, whereas the phyllosphere accommodated Sphingomonas latecomers in a proportional manner to their presence at the late inoculation timepoint. This demonstrates that WISH-tags are a resource for deciphering population dynamics underlying microbiome assembly across biological systems.
ADIRF Suppresses Tumor Progression And Involves Keratinocyte Differentiation In Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background and Aim: Adipogenesis regulatory factor (ADIRF) regulates fat cell development and promotes adipogenic differentiation, but the role in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is unknow. We aimed to interpret the regulatory effects of ADIRF in the progression and differentiation of ESCC. Methods: The expression ADIRF was evaluated in the RNA-seq dataset and the immunohistochemically examined in the ESCC tissues. The associations with the clinical features were studied in an ESCC cohort. The effect on ESCC cells growth and migration were assessed. The core functions of ADIRF were analyzed according to the co-expressed genes. Results: The expression of ADIRF was decreased in cancerous mucosa and significantly downregulated in the advanced ESCCs. The immunostainings of ADIRF were reversely correlated with the progressing of AJCC stage ( r =-0.41) and tumor stage ( r =-0.56) in the carcinomas. The high expression of ADIRF was capable to indicated the patients without deep invasion (AUC=0.805, P<0.001). In multiple ESCC cells, ADIRF overexpression obviously suppressed the cell proliferation, migration and division. According to assessing the core functions of co-expressed genes, the ADIRF was putatively associated with the keratinocyte differentiation. Among the keratinocyte differentiation associated genes, SPRR1A, SPRR1B, PKP3, SPRR2D, and FLG were detected to independently correlate with the ESCC prognosis. Thereinto, SPRR1A was with the minimum hazard ratio (HR=0.11, 95%CI: 0.02-0.62) and significantly downregulated in the advanced ESCCs. Conclusions: ADIRF might suppress the tumor progression and be speculated to regulate esophageal keratinocyte differentiation during the development of ESCC.
<b>Korean Women Divers ‘</b><b><i>Haenyeo</i></b><b>’: Bathing Suits and Acclimatization to Cold</b>

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

During the 1960~80s Korean breath-hold women divers (haenyeo) received attention from environmental physiologists, especially Professor Suk-Ki Hong and colleagues, due to their unique ability to resist cold water wearing only a thin cotton bathing suit (so-jung-ee). Eventually, Haenyeos began to wear wetsuits to avoid severe cold stress instead of the cotton bathing suit from the mid 1970's.With advancing social industrialization, the number of haenyeos rapidly decreased and a total of 4,507 haenyeos works as of 2013. The average age of haenyeos is 70 years old and the oldest haenyeos currently diving is 92 years old. Today, some senior haenyeos over fifty years old share the diving experiences of their youth by wearing the classic cotton bathing suits. At present it is predicted that the tradition of haenyeos could cease to exist in 10-15 years because of their aging. At this point in time, it is worth reviewing the history of haenyeos' diving practices and acclimatization/deacclimatization to cold. The present review described the diving practices and physiology of haenyeos related to cotton bathing suits and wetsuits. Finally, we suggest interdisciplinary research on haenyeos from the viewpoint of social-environmental physiology and intangible cultural heritage.
Understanding the Supramolecular Chemistry of Lutein with Gelatin, Octenyl Succinic Anhydride‐Modified Starch Polymers in Simulated Gastro‐Intestinal Buffers: A Molecular Dynamics Study

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Lutein, a carotenoid with significant health benefits, faces challenges in delivery due to its poor solubility and low bioavailability in the human body. Experimental methods are used to deliver lutein but it has limitations in providing detailed molecular‐level insights into lutein interactions within delivery systems. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations offer a powerful tool to overcome this knowledge gap by providing an atomic‐level understanding of lutein behavior in various physiological conditions. This study employs MD simulations to investigate the binding of lutein in a hydrogel composed of gelatin and octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA)‐modified starch across different gastro‐intestinal buffers. The analysis of the simulation trajectory reveals that while both gelatin and OSA‐starch form hydrogel networks, OSA‐starch maintains better structural integrity in all buffers. Autodock scores indicate a higher binding affinity of lutein for OSA‐starch compared to gelatin, which is further validated by hydrogen bonding and radial distribution function analyses. The mean square displacement results demonstrate the subdiffusive behavior of lutein. These results provide valuable insights into the interactions of lutein with hydrogel components and solvents, contributing to the rational design of improved lutein delivery systems. Future research can focus on optimizing the hydrogel composition to enhance lutein stability and bioavailability in various physiological environments.
