Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate parameters derived from 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT images for discriminating pathological characteristics in primary clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). METHODS The study retrospectively examined data for 36 ccRCC patients with preoperative 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scan and surgical specimens. Radiological parameters including maximal tumor diameter, mean CT value, and maximal standard uptake value (SUVmax) were derived from PET/CT images. Pathological characteristics included WHO/ISUP grade and adverse pathology (tumor necrosis or sarcomatoid or rhabdoid feature). Values of radiological parameters were compared within subgroups of pathological characteristics. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used for the effectiveness of radiological parameters in differentiating pathological characteristics, estimating area under the ROC curve (AUC) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS The WHO/ISUP grade distribution for 36 tumors was grade 1, 9 (25.0%); grade 2, 12 (33.3%); grade 3, 9 (25.0%); and grade 4, 6 (16.7%). Adverse pathology was positive for 15 (41.7%). Radiological tumor diameter and SUVmax significantly differed by WHO/ISUP grade, pT stage, and adverse pathology (all P < 0.05), with no difference by CT value. Tumor diameter demonstrated sensitivity 86% and specificity 88% for pT stage, with cutoff 6.70 and AUC 0.91 (95% CI, 0.79-1.00, P < 0.001). SUVmax could effectively differentiate WHO/ISUP grade (3-4 vs. 1-2) and adverse pathology (positive vs. negative), with AUC 0.89 (95% CI, 0.81-0.98, P < 0.001), cutoff 16.4, sensitivity 100%, and specificity 71% and AUC 0.92 (95% CI, 0.85-0.99, P < 0.001), cutoff 18.5, sensitivity 94%, and specificity 87%, respectively. CONCLUSION 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT could effectively identify aggressive pathological features of ccRCC.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) has largely supplanted diagnostic polysomnography. Primary care (PC) driven HSAT utilization is common especially in rural settings that lack sleep specialist (SS) support. There have been no studies comparing appropriateness of HSAT utilization in veterans managed by SS vs. PC.
Methods
We use hub and spoke model to manage patients with OSA. SS selects testing for hub and PC utilizes HSAT for spoke patients. Testing is interpreted by SS. Patients referred for HSAT using WatchPAT over 4 months were compared on test failure rate, adherence to AASM guidelines for OSA diagnosis, adherence to HSAT use criteria, and diagnostic success rate (AHI ≥5) in high risk patients (STOPBANG ≥5) without significant comorbidities or HSAT contraindications compared to all comers.
Results
There were 125 hub and 170 spoke patients included in the analyses. Baseline characteristics were similar between sites (gender, age, BMI, Epworth sleepiness scale, neck size, STOPBANG, pacemaker dependence, and medication use affecting HSAT). Spoke patients had slightly higher prevalence of comorbidities (hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia, heart failure, COPD, stroke, and long acting opioid use). Complete HSAT failure (no data) was 2% and technical failure (monitoring time <4 hours) was 13% at both sites. Unnecessary studies primarily to confirm OSA in those previously diagnosed on therapy seeking to establish care were 3% (hub) and 21% (spoke). HSAT done in patients without significant comorbidities was 77% (hub) and 68% (spoke). Adherence to HSAT use criteria was 74% at both sites. Diagnostic success rate of prespecified and all comers was 65% vs. 60% at hub and 86% vs. 64% at spoke sites.
Conclusion
Adherence to AASM guidelines and HSAT use criteria was overall fair with low failure rates. Further improving HSAT protocol for SS and PC with the aim to improve diagnostic success rate and minimize unnecessary studies should be pursued.

Abstract
In the wake of constant improvements in sequencing technologies, numerous insect genomes have been sequenced. Currently, 1219 insect genome-sequencing projects have been registered with the National Center for Biotechnology Information, including 401 that have genome assemblies and 155 with an official gene set of annotated protein-coding genes. Comparative genomics analysis showed that the expansion or contraction of gene families was associated with well-studied physiological traits such as immune system, metabolic detoxification, parasitism and polyphagy in insects. Here, we summarize the progress of insect genome sequencing, with an emphasis on how this impacts research on pest control. We begin with a brief introduction to the basic concepts of genome assembly, annotation and metrics for evaluating the quality of draft assemblies. We then provide an overview of genome information for numerous insect species, highlighting examples from prominent model organisms, agricultural pests and disease vectors. We also introduce the major insect genome databases. The increasing availability of insect genomic resources is beneficial for developing alternative pest control methods. However, many opportunities remain for developing data-mining tools that make maximal use of the available insect genome resources. Although rapid progress has been achieved, many challenges remain in the field of insect genomics.

Abstract
The circular (CPGE) and linear photogalvanic effect (LPGE) of a three-dimensional topological insulator Bi2Se3 thin film of seven quintuple layers excited by near-infrared (1064 nm) and mid-infrared (10.6 [Formula: see text]m) radiations have been investigated. The comparison of the CPGE current measured parallel and perpendicular to the incident plane, together with the comparison of the CPGE current under front and back illuminations, indicates that the CPGE under front illumination of 1064 nm light is dominated by the top surface states of the Bi2Se3 thin film. The CPGE current excited by 10.6 [Formula: see text]m light is about one order larger than that excited by 1064 nm light, which may be attributed to the smaller cancelation effect of the CPGE generated in the two-dimensional electron gas when excited by 10.6 [Formula: see text]m light. Under the excitation of 1064 nm light, the LPGE current is dominated by the component which shows an even parity of incident angles, while the LPGE current excited by 10.6 [Formula: see text]m light is mainly contributed by the component which is an odd parity of incident angles. Both of the CPGE and LPGE currents excited by 1064 nm decrease with increasing temperature, which may be owing to the decrease of the momentum relaxation time and the stronger electron-electron scattering with increasing temperature, respectively.

Abstract
The cotton mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is a polyphagous insect that attacks tens of plant and causes substantial economic loss. Insect chitinases are required to remove the old cuticle to allow for continued growth and development. Though insect chitinases have been well studied in tens of insects, their functions in mealybug are still not addressed. Here, we sequenced the transcriptomes of adult males and females, from which eight chitinase genes were identified. We then used the method of rapid amplification of cDNA ends to amplify their full length. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that these genes clustered into five subgroups. Among which, group II PsCht2 had the longest transcript and was highly expressed at second instar nymph. PsCht10, PsCht3-3 and PsIDGF were highly expressed in the adult females, whereas PsCht4 and PsCht4-1 were significantly expressed at the male pupa and adult male. Next, we knocked down all eight chitinase genes by feeding the double-stranded RNA. Knockdown of PsCht4 or PsCht4-1 led to the failure of moult and, silencing PsCht5 resulted in pupation defect, while silencing PsCht10 led to small body size, suggesting these genes have essential roles in development and can be used as a potential target for pest control.

Abstract
To study adaptation of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) to hypoxic stress, we investigated physiological responses and lactate metabolism of the fish under acute hypoxia. The objectives of this study were to (a) observe changes in glucose, glycogen, and lactate content; (b) detect the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in serum, brain, heart, and liver tissues; and (c) quantify the dynamic gene expression of AMP activated protein kinase alpha (AMPKα), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1), monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4), and lactate dehydrogenase-a (LDHa) following exposure to hypoxia. The fish were subjected to two hypoxia stresses (dissolved oxygen [DO] 1.20 ± 0.2 mg/L and 3.50 ± 0.3 mg/L, respectively) for 24 h. Our results showed that hypoxic stress significantly increased the decomposition of liver glycogen and significantly increased the concentration of blood glucose; however, the muscle glycogen content was not significantly decreased, which indicates that liver glycogen was the main energy source under acute hypoxia. Moreover, hypoxia led to accumulation of a large amount of lactic acid in tissues, possibly due to the activity of lactic acid dehydrogenase, but this process was delayed in the heart and brain relative to the liver. Additionally, hypoxia induced the expression of AMPKα, HIF-1α, MCT1, MCT4, and LDHa, suggesting that glycometabolism had switched from aerobic to anaerobic. Our results contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the response to hypoxia in largemouth bass.

Abstract
Insect chitinases participate in numerous physiological processes such as nutrition, parasitism, morphogenesis and immunity. These properties make chitinases good targets for pest control. Rice striped stem borer (SSB), Chilo suppressalis Walker, is one of the most destructive pests of rice causing huge yield losses. In our previous work, we reported the identification of 12 SSB chitinase (CsCht) genes, and studied the functions of CsCht1 to 4. Here, we have extended our study to investigate the expression patterns and functions of CsCht5 to 12. All eight chitinase genes displayed distinct temporospatial expression profiles. We looked at the effect of knocking down each gene at the developmental stage where highest expression was observed. Knocking down CsCht5, CsCht6 and CsCht8 resulted in high mortality and delayed development. Although silencing CsCht7, CsCht9, CsCht10, CsCht11 and CsCht12 had no apparent effect on development, knocking down CsCht10 in SSB individuals that were simultaneously treated with Beauveria bassiana (Bb84) led to higher mortality rates and quicker death, suggesting CsCht10 has an essential role in protecting SSB from exogenous microorganisms. In summary, we elucidated the functions of eight SSB chitinase genes and found that CsCht10 could be a good candidate for pest control.

Abstract
The global dissemination of colistin resistance has received a great deal of attention. Recently, the plasmid-mediated colistin resistance encoded by mcr genes in Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains from animals, food, and patients in China has been reported frequently. To investigate the colistin resistance and mcr-1 and mcr-2 genes spread in domestic animals in Jiangsu Province, we collected fecael swabs from pigs, chicken and cattle at different ages distributed in intensive feeding farms. The selective chromogenic agar and mcr-PCR were used to screen the colistin resistance and mcr gene carriage. Colistin resistant E. coli colonies were identified in 54.25% (440/811), 35.96% (443/1232), and 26.92% (42/156) faecal swabs from pigs, chickens, and cattle, respectively. The prevalence of mcr-1 in colistin resistant E. coli isolates from pigs, chickens and cattle was 68.86% (303/440), 87.58% (388/443), and 71.43% (30/42), respectively, compared to mcr-2 which was present in 46.82% (206/440), 14.90% (66/443), and 19.05% (8/42) of the colistin-resistant E. coli isolated from pigs, chickens and cattle, respectively. Co-occurrence of mcr-1 and mcr-2 was identified in 20% (88/440) in pigs, 7.22% (32/443) in chickens, and 9.52% (4/42) in cattle. Interventions and alternative options are necessary to minimise further dissemination of mcr between food-producing animals and human.

Abstract
Porcine circovirus-like virus P1 is a novel unclassified circovirus that was first detected in China and may be associated with post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) and congenital tremor. In this study, we detected P1 infection in pigs in Hebei Province, China, in 2017. One hundred and forty of 500 (28.0%) serum samples from 25 pig farms with different PMWS status in seven cities were P1 positive on PCR. Twelve P1 strains were sequenced, and the complete genomes of 11 P1 strains were 648 nucleotides (nt) in length, whereas that of strain ZJK02 was 647 nt, with a G deletion at position of 183 in its genome. The complete genomic and capsid protein sequences of the 12 P1 strains analysed in this study shared 98.8%-100.0% and 86.5%-100.0% identity, respectively. A phylogenetic analysis based on the complete genomic and capsid sequences of 26 P1 strains showed that the 12 P1 sequences from Hebei Province clustered on two small branches. Further studies of the evolution and pathogenesis of P1 are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endotoxin is a significant contributing factor underlying the occurrence of fever, diarrhea, inflammation, edema, coagulation, shock and other syndromes associated with gram-negative bacterial infections. To date, there is no effective treatment for endotoxemia. AIM The aim of this study was to characterize differentially expressed genes in sinomenine-treated and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endothelial cells by microarray analysis and to determine the potential pharmacological activity of sinomenine. DESIGN The cultured cells of five treatment groups (n = 3) were collected. Participants: total RNA was extracted and subjected to Agilent Porcine 4 × 44 K whole genome microarray. METHODS Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes and gene ontology software were applied to screen and analyze differentially regulated genes. RESULTS The results showed that 723 differentially regulated genes were identified including 410 up-regulated genes and 313 down-regulated genes in therapy group vs. LPS group. Ten genes may be key controlled genes in the pathogenesis of LPS, including five up-regulated genes (ARG1, TLR2, IL1A, VCAM1, DKK3) and five down-regulated genes (HABP2, ID1, CHDH, GPX3, PTGFR), which primarily contribute to biological processes such as inflammatory response, vascular lesion, metabolic process and cell cycle. IL1A and FMO3 were considered as potent target genes. CONCLUSION Global gene expression profile analysis showed that sinomenine might effectively be useful to regulate inflammatory responses as part of future anti-endotoxin therapies.
