Pig Genome Evolution: De Novo Assembly and Annotation of the Genome of the Visayan Warty Pig (Sus cebifrons)

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

The Visayan warty pig (Sus cebifrons) is a critically endangered species in the pig genus (Sus). We generated a de novo genome assembly of Visayan warty pig using linked-read sequencing (10x Genomics) and Hi-C-based chromatin interaction maps (Dovetail Genomics). The resulting chromosome level assembly consists of 17 chromosomes and 1,568 unplaced scaffolds. The scaffold N50 length is 141,782,568 bp while the contig N50 length is 159,621 bp. BUSCO analysis suggests the assembly is highly complete, with 95.7% of BUSCOs complete. The alignment of the Sus cebifrons and the Sus scrofa (Sscrofa11.1) assemblies reveals a high degree of collinearity. We reveal chromosome rearrangements during Suidae evolution, involving chromosome fusion and fission events involving Sus scofa chromosomes 13, 14 ,16 and 18. Annotation was done using Braker2 and included RNA-seq data from 6 different tissues. Identification of repetitive sequences was done using Repeatmasker and Repeatmodeler. In total, 38,300 protein-coding genes and 788.86 Mb of repetitive sequences were identified. This highly contiguous assembly provides a comparative framework to common pigs (S. scrofa), extending our understanding of the genome evolution. A comparison of the HiC data of S. cebifrons and S. scrofa revealed a high degree of conservation of the 3D chromatin structure in these two species that diverged approximately 4 million years ago.

SPC212 Human Mesothelioma Cell Underwent Apoptosis, Oxidative Stress, Morhological Deformation Following Astaxanthin Treatment

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract

Although astaxanthin (ASX) is one type of carotenoid, it is a more bioactive compound than other carotenoids. Despite its utilization against different cancer types, the effect of ASX on mesothelioma has yet to be well-studied. In this study, our goal is to ascertain how ASX will affect SPC212 human mesothelioma cells. First, the effective doses of ASX against SPC212 cells were uncovered by the MTT test. Thereafter, with flow cytometry analysis, Annexin-V and caspase 3/7 assay were implemented for the evaluation of apoptotic cell death and an oxidative stress test was carried out to determine how the free radicals changed. Ultimately, the cells’ morphology was examined under a light microscope. The effective doses of ASX were found as 50,100 and 200 µM. In Annexin V assay, the total apoptosis increased to around 12%, 30%, and %45 with increasing doses of ASX. In the caspase 3/7 assay, the total apoptosis was around %25 and %38 at 100 and 200 µM. In oxidative stress analysis, ROS-positive cells rose from 4.54 at the lowest dose to 86.95 at the highest dose. In morphological analysis, cellular shrinkage, decrease in cell density, swelling and vacuolations in some cells, membrane blebbing and apoptotic bodies are observed in ASX-treated cells. To conclude, the current study provided insights into the efficacy and effects of ASX against SPC212 mesothelioma cells regarding morphology, proliferation and cell death for future studies.
Least-cost cheap-food policies: some implications of international food aid

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Many low-income countries pursue cheap-food policies in which consumers pay subsidized prices for bread, rice and other staples.This paper addresses the issue of why different governments select different food subsidy policies, using multiple instruments rather than a simple across-the-board subsidy to provide consumers with access to cheap food.It examines the optimal structure of cheap-food policies in the context of a partial equilibrium model in which the country may be large in trade, and is able to combine import subsidies or tariffs, and output taxes or subsidies, to transfer income to consumers through the market.The model allows for a marginal opportunity cost of government revenues greater than one dollar.In addition, in the model, food aid from overseas may be either given away to the consumer, or given to the government for subsequent sale in the domestic market.The results indicate that only by happenstance will a country choose to use a pure consumption subsidy or a pure import subsidy to transfer income to consumers.In addition, an increase in international food aid does not necessarily lead the government to reduce producer and consumer prices for a commodity.
Les hommes font toujours l’affaire ! Ségrégation sexuelle et processus de hiérarchisation : l’exemple du commerce

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article is based on the studies stemming from the Swedish White paper "Men are always in business !" which deals with the gendered division of power and economic resources. It concerns the retail trade sector and highlights the way in which the enterprise culture influences the relations between women and men in this sector, whether this through strategies for change or in the implementation of equal opportunities measures. We see in particular that while management policy always plays a key role in the process of segregation and hierarchization, decision-making power is relatively spread out among the different levels of the enterprise, and that more or less space is left to individual initiative.
Non-immune hydrops fetalis as a diagnostic and survival problems: what do we tell the parents?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Objective: Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is one of the most difficult problems related to pregnancy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the etiological analysis as well as the fetal and neonatal outcomes of NIHF. Methods: We reviewed the prenatal sonographic data and postnatal medical records of pregnant women diagnosed as NIHF in our hospital between January 2001 and May 2013. All cases were categorized using 12 etiological classification groups. Demographic data, diagnostic laboratory parameters, karyotyping results, sonographic and autopsy findings, postnatal final diagnoses, and perinatal mortality rates were also recorded. Results: This study included 147 cases. The mean gestational age at the time of the initial diagnosis was 23.84±6.30 weeks. Cardiovascular causes were the most common (21.7%), followed by structural abnormalities (17.0%), chromosomal abnormalities (6.8%), and skeletal dysplasias (5.4%). Chromosomal abnormalities were detected in 12.8% of these cases. The most common karyotype abnormality was monosomy X. Postmortem autopsy was performed in 50 (34%) cases, and at least one finding was detected in 40 (80%) of these cases. The overall mortality rate was 78.2%. The gestational week at delivery, birth weight, and Apgar score (1 st and 5 th min) showed a statistically significant difference between exitus and surviving fetuses (P<0.05). Conclusion: NIHF can lead to high perinatal morbidity and mortality, yet its etiopathology remains poorly understood. Early diagnosis of NIHF gives parents an opportunity to make an informed choice about the possible complications of a pregnancy.

ANTIBIOTIC XG AS A SEED TREATMENT FOR THE CONTROL OF LEAF AND POD SPOT OF PEAS CAUSED BY ASCOCHYTA PISI

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Antibiotic XG has been studied for its possible application as a pea seed treatment in the control of Ascochyta leaf and pod spot. Fungistatic properties of Antibiotic XG against Ascochyta Pisi at various concentrations in relation to pH and temperature in vitro were studied. At antibiotic concentrations up to 1 p.p.m. no fungistatic effect was observed at pH values from 3.5 to 6.5, but, at concentrations above 1 p.p.m., complete inhibition of growth was found at all pH values tested. In the temperature range of 22 °C. to 30 °C. antibiotic concentrations of 1 p.p.m. had no effect on growth. Fungicidal activity to spores of A. Pisi has also been tested. A spore suspension of 10,000 spores per ml. required an exposure of 12 hr. with an antibiotic concentration of 100 p.p.m. for complete lethal dosage. The soaking of diseased pea seed samples in Antibiotic XG at a concentration of 25 p.p.m. for a period of 18 hr. effectively controls A. Pisi infection as determined by laboratory test and does not seriously impair germination. This treatment is compatible with Spergon applied after the seed has been air-dried. Storage of treated seed for a period of three months did not affect the degree of control but reduced the germinative capacity in laboratory plate tests.
Congestion-Aware Scheduling for Software-Defined SAG Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

As a successful solution for global communications, Space-Air-Ground (SAG) networks, have drawn extensive attention. Satellites are influenced by geographical features as a way of space communications. Since the traffic congestion may occur in densely populated cities, leading to serious latency and throughput collapses. To solve this problem, we first introduce Software Defined Networks (SDN) into satellites and then propose a load balancing approach to improve communication performances. However, the SDN Space-Air-Ground networks need a cooperative communication process, we consider this problem as an SDN-enabled routers placement problem, so that we can decide the exactly traditional routers are upgrading to ensure the robustness of hybrid networks. Based on the hybrid Space-Air-Ground networks, we design a load balancing strategy to distribute traffic among networks optimally, so that the total congested links are minimized in our proposed model. For better performance in Space-Air-Ground networks, we propose a resilient congestion estimate scheme. Detouring traffic around the nearby satellites to optimize traffic load is a decision based on the network condition. Simulation results illustrate that our proposed method outperforms traditional satellite network methods by improving 6.5% and 4.4% packet loss rate, and 11.6% and 8.3% higher throughput respectively.
Stress and Burnout in Postgraduate Physiotherapy Students: A Mixed Methods Observational Cohort Study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background and Purpose: The impact of stress and burnout in students is an emerging topic. When students perceive that they are unable to cope with stressors, there is increased potential for burnout. To maximise students’ higher educational institution (HEI) outcomes, students must be able to effectively cope with stressful demands. Research suggests physiotherapy students, in particular, suffer from a high risk of stress and burnout, however limited research exists on postgraduate, pre-registration, physiotherapy students. The purpose of this study was to determine perceived stress, burnout and associated coping strategies across three time points in the first year of a post-graduate, pre-registration physiotherapy program. Subjects: All first year Doctor of Physiotherapy (DPHTY) students at Bond University 2019 were invited to participate. Methods: A mixed methods observational cohort design was implemented in one Australian HEI to determine stress, burnout and coping strategies across 3 time points. The 51-item self-administered questionnaire consisted of demographics, the Coping Self Efficacy (CSE) Scale and Maslach Burnout Inventory – General Survey for Students (MBI-GS (S)), and open-ended questions. Results: A response rate of 62% (n=38) was achieved. There were no differences in stress and burnout scores between sexes, nor differences in stress and burnout over time. Highest median CSE scores were seen at T1, with highest median MBI-GS (S) cynicism (CYN) scores at T2, exhaustion (EX) at T1 and T2, and professional efficacy (PE) at T1 and T2. The greatest mean CSE changes were seen from T1-T2 and T1-T3, and PE greatest changes from T2-T3 and T1-T3. No strong correlation was found between stress and burnout. Curriculum coursework was a frequently reported stressor, along with clinical placement and transition periods. Coping strategies utilized by students were both positive and maladaptive. Positive strategies included sporting activities, baking, listening to music, and social connections, whereas maladaptive strategies included alcohol consumption, excessive eating and gaming. Conclusion: Student consistently identified periods of stress and burnout, with curriculum coursework in particular being a trigger. Findings acknowledge the need for further investigation on sources of perceived stress, burnout and coping mechanisms to optimise student welfare and enhance HEI outcomes.

This is the first record of the previously monotypic genus <em>Shaitan </em>Kovblyuk, Kastrygina et Marusik, 2013 in Iran, as well as its southernmost known locality. All species, including the closely related ones, are illustrated.</p>
Recursive Directional Ligation by Plasmid Reconstruction Allows Rapid and Seamless Cloning of Oligomeric Genes

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

This paper reports a new strategy, recursive directional ligation by plasmid reconstruction (PRe-RDL), to rapidly clone highly repetitive polypeptides of any sequence and specified length over a large range of molecular weights. In a single cycle of PRe-RDL, two halves of a parent plasmid, each containing a copy of an oligomer, are ligated together, thereby dimerizing the oligomer and reconstituting a functional plasmid. This process is carried out recursively to assemble an oligomeric gene with the desired number of repeats. PRe-RDL has several unique features that stem from the use of type IIs restriction endonucleases: first, PRe-RDL is a seamless cloning method that leaves no extraneous nucleotides at the ligation junction. Because it uses type IIs endonucleases to ligate the two halves of the plasmid, PRe-RDL also addresses the major limitation of RDL in that it abolishes any restriction on the gene sequence that can be oligomerized. The reconstitution of a functional plasmid only upon successful ligation in PRe-RDL also addresses two other limitations of RDL: the significant background from self-ligation of the vector observed in RDL, and the decreased efficiency of ligation due to nonproductive circularization of the insert. PRe-RDL can also be used to assemble genes that encode different sequences in a predetermined order to encode block copolymers or append leader and trailer peptide sequences to the oligomerized gene.
COX-2 status is a significant factor to predict a postoperative survival as well as an efficacy of postoperative adjuvant therapy in non-small cell lung cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

9556 Background: Clinical significance of biomarkers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear, and an exact and quantitative evaluation of biomarkers may be required to clarify the clinical significance. Methods: A total of 110 patients (pts) with completely resected p-stage I NSCLC were reviewed. RNAs were isolated from laser-captured tumor cells, and gene expression of VEGF, COX-2, MMP-2, MMP-9, EGFR, p27, TS, DPD, TP, and OPRT was quantitatively evaluated by a real-time RT-PCR assay. Results: COX-2 gene expression status was the only significant prognostic factor (Table), and a multivariate analysis confirmed that high COX-2 gene expression was an independent factor to predict a poor prognosis (p=0.005, RR=3.848 [95% CI, 1.500–9.874]). COX-2 gene expression status also predicted the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy using UFT (an oral 5-FU derivative); UFT administration was effective for low COX-2 gene-expression tumor (5-year survival rate, 93% for UFT-treated pts and 67% for surgery-alone pts; p=0.045), and was not effective for high COX-2 gene-expression tumor (5-year survival rate, 64% for UFT-treated pts and 62% for surgery-alone pts; p=0.677). COX-2 protein-expression status determined immunohistochemically was well correlated with COX-2 gene-expression status (p=0.001). However, COX-2 protein-expression status was not a significant prognostic factor nor a significant predictive factor of UFT administration. Conclusions: High COX-2 gene-expression in tumor cells was a significant factor to predict not only a poor prognosis but also an inefficacy of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for resected NSCLC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
