Abstract
Shallow lakes are numerous in all climate zones, but our knowledge about their dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) response to future climate change and nutrient enrichment is rather limited. Here we performed a mesocosm experiment with four treatments to investigate how warming and nitrogen addition will impact the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) and phytoplankton community individually and combined. We found that warming alone had no significant effect on pCO2, while nitrogen addition increased pCO2 significantly. The combined effects of nitrogen addition and warming on pCO2 level were prevalent, indicating that eutrophic shallow lakes would be double-jeopardized in the future climate. Warming and nitrogen addition together also showed to have changed the phytoplankton community structure, suggesting a potential shifting of biological system in shallow lakes under changing climate. These findings highlight the importance of reducing nitrogen pollution to shallow lake systems for sustainable development goal.

Abstract
Improper management of aquatic environments substantially restricts the development of the aquaculture industry. The industrialisation of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii, for example, is currently being limited by poor water quality. Research suggests that microalgal biotechnology has a great potential for water quality regulation. However, the ecological effects of microalgal applications on aquatic communities in aquaculture systems remain largely unknown. In the present study, 5 L Scenedesmus acuminatus GT-2 culture (biomass 120 g L-1) was added to an approximately 1,000 m2 rice-crayfish culture to examine the response of aquatic ecosystems to microalgal application. The total nitrogen content decreased significantly as a result of microalgal addition. Moreover, the microalgal addition changed the bacterial community structure directionally and produced more nitrate reducing and aerobic bacteria. The effect of microalgal addition on plankton community structure was not obvious, except for a significant difference in Spirogyra growth which was inhibited by 81.0% under microalgal addition. Furthermore, the network of microorganisms in culture systems with the added microalga had higher interconnectivity and was more complex, which indicating microalgal application enhance the stability of aquaculture systems. The application of microalgae was found to have the greatest effect on the 6th day of the experiment, as supported by both environmental and biological evidence. These findings can provide valuable guidance for the practical application of microalgae in aquaculture systems.

Abstract
As a byproduct of mitochondrial respiration or metabolism, reactive oxygen species (ROS) can act as a signaling molecule to activate NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, thereby triggering immune response. NLRP3 inflammasome acts as a sensor of various danger signals and is central to the control of pyroptosis occurrence. Macrophage pyroptosis is closely related to atherosclerosis, arthritis, pulmonary fibrosis and other inflammatory diseases. Methylophiopogonanone A (MO-A) is a main homoisoflavonoid in Chinese herb Ophiopogonis Radix, which has antioxidant effect. However, it is not clear whether MO-A can alleviate macrophage pyroptosis by inhibiting oxidative stress. Here we have shown that MO-A increases the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), inhibits the production of ROS, reduces the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and inhibits pyroptosis in macrophages induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). These effects can be reversed by the ROS promoter H2O2. Therefore, MO-A can inhibit macrophage pyroptosis through the ROS/NLRP3 pathway and may be considered as a candidate drug for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Aerobic photosynthetic organisms such as algae produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) as by-products of metabolism. ROS damage biomolecules such as proteins and lipids in cells, but also act as signaling molecules. The mechanisms that maintain the metabolic balance in aerobic photosynthetic organisms and how the cells specifically respond to different levels of ROS are unclear. Glutathione peroxidase (GPX) enzymes detoxify hydrogen peroxide or organic hydroperoxides, and thus are important components of the antioxidant system. In this study, we employed a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii glutathione peroxidase knockout (gpx5) mutant to identify the genetic response to singlet oxygen (1O2) generated by the photosensitizer rose bengal (RB). To this end, we compared the transcriptomes of the parental strain CC4348 and the gpx5 mutant sampled before, and 1 h after, the addition of RB. Functional annotation of differentially expressed genes showed that genes encoding proteins related to ROS detoxification, stress-response-related molecular chaperones, and ubiquitin–proteasome pathway genes were upregulated in CC4338. When GPX5 was mutated, higher oxidative stress specifically induced the TCA cycle and enhanced mitochondrial electron transport. Transcription of selenoproteins and flagellar-associated proteins was depressed in CC4348 and the gpx5 mutant. In addition, we found iron homeostasis played an important role in maintaining redox homeostasis, and we uncovered the relationship between 1O2 stress and iron assimilation, as well as selenoproteins. Based on the observed expression profiles in response to different levels of oxidative stress, we propose a model for dose-dependent responses to different ROS levels in Chlamydomonas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to estimate the prevalence of sufficient physical activity (PA) for primary and high school students in China. STUDY DESIGN This is a meta-analysis study. METHODS The literature search was carried out using both English and Chinese online databases, including articles published from January 2005 to May 2018. Statistical analyses were performed with STATA 13.0. RESULTS Of 1439 articles initially retrieved, 18 studies met the inclusion criteria. The prevalence of sufficient PA among Chinese students varied from 8.96% to 56.02%. With meta-analysis, the sufficient PA prevalence was 31.1% (27.1%-35.2%). Boys were more likely to achieve sufficient PA compared to girls (boys vs girls: 42.4% vs 31.5%, P < 0.001), while urban students engaged in more sufficient PA than their rural counterparts (urban vs rural: 42.7% vs 38.5%, P < 0.001). Primary school students spent more time in overall PA than junior (primary vs junior: 45.4% vs 40.6%, P < 0.001) or senior high school students (primary vs senior: 45.4% vs 27.9%, P < 0.001). Students tended to be more physically active on weekdays than weekends (weekdays vs weekend: 57.2% vs 45.2%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of sufficient PA was 31% among Chinese students. Intervention campaigns are needed for promoting PA level among students in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plant height and leaf angle are important determinants of yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Genes involved in regulating plant height and leaf angle were identified in previous studies; however, there are many remaining unknown factors that affect rice architecture. RESULTS In this study, we characterized a dwarf mutant named ds1 with small grain size and decreased leaf angle,selected from an irradiated population of ssp. japonica variety Nanjing35. The ds1 mutant also showed abnormal floral organs. ds1 plants were insensitive to BL treatment and expression of genes related to BR signaling was changed. An F2 population from a cross between ds1 and indica cultivar 93-11 was used to fine map DS1 and to map-based clone the DS1 allele, which encoded an EMF1-like protein that acted as a transcriptional regulator. DS1 was constitutively expressed in various tissues, and especially highly expressed in young leaves, panicles and seeds. We showed that the DS1 protein interacted with auxin response factor 11 (OsARF11), a major transcriptional regulator of plant height and leaf angle, to co-regulate D61/OsBRI1 expression. These findings provide novel insights into understanding the molecular mechanisms by which DS1 integrates auxin and brassinosteroid signaling in rice. CONCLUSION The DS1 gene encoded an EMF1-like protein in rice. The ds1 mutation altered the expression of genes related to BR signaling, and ds1 was insensitive to BL treatment. DS1 interacts with OsARF11 to co-regulate OsBRI1 expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study sought to explore endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression in acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APE). MATERIALS AND METHODS eNOS expression in lung tissue and bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (BM-EPCs) from APE mouse models was assessed by immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR. A gene expression profile meta-analysis was performed on human venous thromboembolism (VTE) whole blood samples recorded in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository. Significantly expressed genes were determined from the microarray data by unsupervised clustering and supervised classification. Selected sample data with significantly expressed genes were further analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA), followed by Bayesian probit regression. Key discriminate genes were further grouped and annotated using functional annotations and gene enrichments using the online Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) software (v. 6.7). RESULTS While eNOS expression was significantly higher, serum nitric oxide levels were significantly lower in APE mice (20.42 ± 2.15 μM) compared to controls (53.50 ± 5.69 μM, p<0.001). eNOS mRNA and protein levels were significantly upregulated in BM-EPCs from APE mice. GEO repository data reported 3,397 upregulated and 4,173 downregulated genes (including eNOS) in VTE patients. In this regression analysis, the significant principal component PC1 and PC2 (p<0.05) were useful in distinguishing the VTE classification. The coefficient value of eNOS was -0.47707 in PC1 and -0.08429 in PC2, which did have some proportions on these significantly discriminated components but did not contribute significantly to the VTE classification. Functional enrichment in terms of acetylation and phosphoproteins were high. CONCLUSIONS Our findings, therefore, suggest that expression of eNOS is significantly altered in APE and may be a potential peripheral blood biomarker. Modulation of eNOS expression may be used for APE treatment.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate real-world clinical outcomes for switching basal insulin analogues [insulin glargine (GLA) and insulin detemir (DET)] among US patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS Using the GE Centricity Electronic Medical Records database, this retrospective study examined two cohorts: cohort 1, comprising patients previously on GLA and then either switching to DET (DET-S) or continuing with GLA (GLA-C); and cohort 2, comprising patients previously on DET and then either switching to GLA (GLA-S) or continuing with DET (DET-C). Within each cohort, treatment groups were propensity-score-matched on baseline characteristics. At 1-year follow-up, insulin treatment patterns, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, hypoglycaemic events, weight and body mass index (BMI) were evaluated. RESULTS The analysis included 13 942 patients: cohort 1: n = 10 657 (DET-S, n = 1797 matched to GLA-C, n = 8860) and cohort 2: n = 3285 (GLA-S, n = 858 matched to DET-C, n = 2427). Baseline characteristics were similar between the treatment groups in each cohort. At 1-year follow-up, in cohort 1, patients in the DET-S subgroup were significantly less persistent with treatment, more likely to use a rapid-acting insulin analogue, had higher HbA1c values, lower HbA1c reductions and lower proportions of patients achieving HbA1c <7.0 or <8.0% compared with patients in the GLA-C subgroup, while hypoglycaemia rates and BMI/weight values and change from baseline were similar in the two subgroups. In cohort 2, overall, there were contrasting findings between patients in the GLA-S and those in the DET-C subgroup. CONCLUSIONS This study showed contrasting results when patients with T2DM switched between basal insulin analogues, although these preliminary results may be subject to limitations in the analysis. Nevertheless, this study calls into question the therapeutic interchangeability of GLA and DET, and this merits further investigation.

Abstract
The effect of pressure and temperature on the vibrational spectra of hydrogen bonded systems has been studied on amides, thioamides, carboxylic acids and urea. The compounds under investigation are indicative for the kind of hydrogen bonding changing from pure intermolecular to intramolecular and dimeric forms. The discussion of the temperature dependence on the fundamentals involved in the hydrogen bonding is straightforward but the pressure data are much more complicated and only if the changes in the crystalline state at different pressures are known, we will have a better understanding of the dependence of some fundamentals in the hydrogen bonded systems. A clear example of this approach is given for urea.

Abstract
A suspension of cells from embryonic day 21 fetal pig ventral mesencephalon was transplanted into the striatum of 20 immunosuppressed rats with 6-hydroxydopamine-induced lesions of the nigrostriatal dopamine pathway. Of these rats, 15 showed reduction of amphetamine-induced ipsilateral rotation by 9 weeks and complete reversal of rotation by 14-17 weeks. Animals maintained stable reversal of rotations (contralateral direction) until cessation of Cyclosporin A (CyA) treatment at 15-20 weeks. Within 4-9 weeks after CyA removal, these rats showed exclusively ipsilateral rotations during behavioral testing which were comparable to pre-transplant levels, suggesting that the grafts were rejected upon cessation of CyA treatment. Rats were sacrificed and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunohistochemistry was performed at several time points, both on and off CyA, to examine a possible correlation between the degree of rotational behavior and the number of TH-positive surviving grafted cells. Staining showed large numbers (230-12,329) of TH-positive surviving cells in animals displaying a high degree of rotational correction (1.6 to -9.6 net ipsilateral rotations/min) after cessation of CyA treatment. Two control groups, those transplanted with non-neuronal cells from the pig ventral mesencephalon (n = 5) and those receiving only daily CyA injections (n = 4) showed no significant reduction of net ipsilateral rotations throughout the experiment. No TH-positive surviving cells were seen in the one non-neuronal transplant analyzed. This data demonstrates long-term retention of xenografted tissue with immunosuppression and its concomitant restoration of normal motor behavior in the rat model of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
The ability to maintain tissue in culture prior to grafting would greatly facilitate the widespread application of graft therapy to neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease. However, neurons cultured on planar substrata can be easily damaged when they are removed from the substrata and redissociated for use in grafting procedures. To overcome this limitation we utilized aggregate tissue culture methods, which allowed dopamine (DA)-rich neuronal tissue to be grafted directly following culture, without an additional redissociation. Fetal rat dopamine-neuron-containing ventral mesencephalon was cultured for 9 days in rotating flasks. The cells formed many small spheres (280 microns mean diameter), each estimated to contain about 10,000 cells. Forty such aggregate spheres were injected via a 22G needle into the DA-denervated striata of host Parkinsonian rats. A significant reduction of amphetamine-induced rotation was seen onward from 6 weeks post-transplantation, with a complete reversal of rotational asymmetry by 15 weeks post-transplantation. Well placed, surviving grafts were found in all behaviorally compensated rats (N = 6). Grafts contained an average of 517 tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons, as well as TH-positive fibers seen extending into the host striatum. These results suggest that aggregate culture methods are a promising means to maintain and deliver tissue for transplant therapy.

Abstract
Three genetically distinct groups of treponemes have been identified by saturation reassociation assays using 125I-labeled treponemal DNAs. The three groups are (i) virulent Treponema pallidum (Nichols strain), (ii) T. phagedenis and its biotypes Reiter and Kazan 5, and (iii) T. refringens biotypes Nichols and Noguchi. There is no detectable DNA sequence homology (less than 5%) among the three groups. The groups have distinct guanine + cytosine contents: 52.4 to 53.7% for T. pallidum, 41.5% for T. refringens, and 38 to 39% for T. phagedenis.

Abstract
Human papovavirus, RFV, isolated from urine of a renal transplant patient was compared with two strains of SV40 and with the prototype human papovavirus, BKV. Neutralization tests showed that RFV and BKV are indistinguishable, while large-plaque (LP) and small-plaque(SP) isolates of SV40 gave a low but significant level of cross-reaction with rabbit or human antisera against RFV. DNA reassociation saturation tests using 125I-labelled RFV DNA show that BKV has 88% homology, and SP-SV40 has 29% homology to RFV. We conclude that RFV and BKV are nearly, if not totally, identical and are not SV40 variants.

Abstract
The transforming activity of fractionated complementary strands of Diplococcus pneumoniae deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) bands at the position of fully denatured DNA in CsCl at pH 11.0, and is completely (> 99.8%) destroyed by digestion with exonuclease-I. These results prove that pure single strands transform the normally prepared competent cells of this species. Their efficiency is about 0.5% that of native DNA of comparable size.
