Abstract
The goal of achieving elimination of schistosomiasis across all endemic counties in China by 2030 was proposed in the Outline of the Healthy China 2030 Plan. On June 16, 2023, the Action Plan to Accelerate the Elimination of Schistosomiasis in China (2023-2030) was jointly issued by National Disease Control and Prevention Administration and other 10 ministries, which deployed the targets and key tasks of the national schistosomiasis elimination programme in China. This article describes the progress of the national schistosomiasis control programme, analyzes the opportunities to eliminate schistosomiasis, and proposes targeted recommendations to tackle the challenges of schistosomiasis elimination, so as to accelerate the process towards schistosomiasis elimination and facilitate the building of a healthy China.

Abstract
While brain regions function in coordination to mediate diverse behaviors, techniques allowing simultaneous monitoring of many deep brain regions remain limited. Here, we present a multi-fiber recording protocol that enables simultaneous recording of fluorescence signals from multiple brain regions in freely behaving mice. We describe steps for assembling a multi-fiber array and patch cord, implantation, and recording. We then detail procedures for data extraction and visualization. This protocol enables a comprehensive view of the neural activity at the network level. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Guo et al.1.

Abstract
To survive in a complex social group, one needs to know who to approach and, more importantly, who to avoid. In mice, a single defeat causes the losing mouse to stay away from the winner for weeks1. Here through a series of functional manipulation and recording experiments, we identify oxytocin neurons in the retrochiasmatic supraoptic nucleus (SOROXT) and oxytocin-receptor-expressing cells in the anterior subdivision of the ventromedial hypothalamus, ventrolateral part (aVMHvlOXTR) as a key circuit motif for defeat-induced social avoidance. Before defeat, aVMHvlOXTR cells minimally respond to aggressor cues. During defeat, aVMHvlOXTR cells are highly activated and, with the help of an exclusive oxytocin supply from the SOR, potentiate their responses to aggressor cues. After defeat, strong aggressor-induced aVMHvlOXTR cell activation drives the animal to avoid the aggressor and minimizes future defeat. Our study uncovers a neural process that supports rapid social learning caused by defeat and highlights the importance of the brain oxytocin system in social plasticity.

Abstract
Schistosomiasis control is not only a disease control programme, but also a great social practice activity in China. During the evolution of national schistosomiasis control programmes, the special schistosomiasis control culture has been cultivated and developed, which contains the spiritual connotation of government-led, people-oriented, respect for science and integration of all efforts. The publication of Chairman Mao Zedong's two poems entitled "Farewell to the God of Plague" and the post-script in 1958 was a sign for the formation and development of Chinese schistosomiasis control culture, which always lead the orientation of development and practice of schistosomiasis control culture building. The schistosomiasis control culture provides powerful spiritual motivation and supports to schistosomiasis control programmes in China, and improving the building of schistosomiasis control culture is of great significance to strengthen our belief in achieving the goal of schistosomiasis elimination, mobilize all social resources, accelerate the progress towards elimination of schistosomiasis and facilitate the high-quality development of healthcare services. Chinese schistosomiasis control spirit is the refinement from the cultural connotation of the long-term schistosomiasis control programmes in China, and is the most essential and concentrated embodiment of the schistosomiasis control culture. This article describes the great significance of two poems entitled "Farewell to the God of Plague", summarizes the connotation and role of schistosomiasis control spirit, and introduces the practice, development and innovation of schistosomiasis control culture building in Jiangxi Province.

Abstract
Distributed hypothalamic-midbrain neural circuits orchestrate complex behavioral responses during social interactions. How population-averaged neural activity measured by multi-fiber photometry (MFP) for calcium fluorescence signals correlates with social behaviors is a fundamental question. We propose a state-space analysis framework to characterize mouse MFP data based on dynamic latent variable models, which include continuous-state linear dynamical system (LDS) and discrete-state hidden semi-Markov model (HSMM). We validate these models on extensive MFP recordings during aggressive and mating behaviors in male-male and male-female interactions, respectively. Our results show that these models are capable of capturing both temporal behavioral structure and associated neural states. Overall, these analysis approaches provide an unbiased strategy to examine neural dynamics underlying social behaviors and reveals mechanistic insights into the relevant networks.

Abstract
Gonadal hormones act throughout the brain 1 , and nearly all neuropsychiatric disorders vary in symptom severity with hormonal fluctuations over the reproductive cycle, gestation, and perimenopause 2-4 . Yet the mechanisms by which hormones influence mental and cognitive processes are unclear. Exogenous estrogenic hormones modulate dopamine signaling in the nucleus accumbens core (NAcc) 5,6 , which instantiates reward prediction errors (RPEs) for reinforcement learning 7-16 . Here we show that endogenous estrogenic hormones enhance RPEs and sensitivity to previous rewards by regulating expression of dopamine reuptake proteins in the NAcc. We trained rats to perform a temporal wagering task with different reward states; rats adjusted how quickly they initiated trials across states, balancing effort against expected rewards. Dopamine release in the NAcc reflected RPEs that predicted and causally in-fluenced subsequent initiation times. When fertile, females more quickly adjusted their initiation times to match reward states due to enhanced dopaminergic RPEs in the NAcc. Proteomics revealed reduced expression of dopamine transporters in fertile stages of the reproductive cycle. Finally, genetic suppression of midbrain estrogen receptors eliminated hormonal modulation of behavior. Estrogenic hormones therefore control the rate of reinforcement learning by regulating RPEs via dopamine reuptake, providing a mechanism by which hormones influence neural dynamics for motivation and learning.

Abstract
Social behaviors are innate and supported by dedicated neural circuits, but the molecular identities of these circuits and how they are established developmentally and shaped by experience remain unclear. Here we show that medial amygdala (MeA) cells originating from two embryonically parcellated developmental lineages have distinct response patterns and functions in social behavior in male mice. MeA cells expressing the transcription factor Foxp2 (MeAFoxp2) are specialized for processing male conspecific cues and are essential for adult inter-male aggression. By contrast, MeA cells derived from the Dbx1 lineage (MeADbx1) respond broadly to social cues, respond strongly during ejaculation and are not essential for male aggression. Furthermore, MeAFoxp2 and MeADbx1 cells show differential anatomical and functional connectivity. Altogether, our results suggest a developmentally hardwired aggression circuit at the MeA level and a lineage-based circuit organization by which a cell's embryonic transcription factor profile determines its social information representation and behavioral relevance during adulthood.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced bladder squamous cell carcinoma (aBSCC) is an uncommon form of urinary bladder malignancy when compared with the much higher urothelial carcinoma incidence. We studied the genomic alteration (GA) landscape in a series of aBSCC based on the association with human papilloma virus (HPV) to determine if differences in GA would be observed between the positive and negative groups. METHODS Using a hybrid capture-based FDA-approved CGP assay, a series of 171 aBSCC were sequenced to evaluate all classes of GA. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was determined on up to 1.1 Mbp of sequenced DNA and microsatellite instability (MSI) was determined on up to 114 loci. Programmed cell death ligand -1 (PD-L1) expression was determined by IHC (Dako 22C3) with negative expression when PD-L1 was 0, lower expression of positivity set at 1 to 49%, and higher expression set at ≥50% expression. RESULTS Overall, 11 (6.4%) of the aBSCC were found to harbor HPV sequences (10 HPV16 and 1 HPV 11). HPV+ status was identified slightly more often in women (NS) and in younger patients (P = 0.04); 2 female patients with aBSCC had a prior history of SCC including 1 anal SCC and 1 vaginal SCC. HPV+ aBSCC had fewer GA/tumor (P < 0.0001), more inactivating mutations in RB1 (P = 0.032), and fewer inactivating GA in CDKN2A (P < 0.0001), CDKN2B (P = 0.05), TERT promoter (P = 0.0004) and TP53 (P < 0.0001). GA in genes associated with urothelial carcinoma including FGFR2 and FGFR3 were similar in both HPV+ and HPV- aBSCC groups. MTAP loss (homozygous deletion) which has emerged as a biomarker for PRMT5 inhibitor-based clinical trials was not identified in any of the 11 HPV+ aBSCC cases, which was significantly lower than the 28% positive frequency of MTAP loss in the HPV- aBSCC group (P < 0.0001). MTOR and PIK3CA pathway GA were not significantly different in the 2 groups. Putative biomarkers associated with immunotherapy (IO) response, including MSI and TMB status, were also similar in the 2 groups. PD-L1 expression data was available for a subset of both HPV+ and HPV- cases and showed high frequencies of positive staining which was not different in the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS HPV+ aBSCC tends to occur more often in younger patients. As reported in other HPV-associated squamous cell carcinomas, HPV+ aBSCC demonstrates significantly reduced frequencies of inactivating mutations in cell cycle regulatory genes with similar GA in MTOR and PIK3CA pathways. The implication of HPV in the pathogenesis of bladder cancer remains unknown but warrants further exploration and clinical validation.

Abstract
Neuropeptides are key signaling molecules in the endocrine and nervous systems that regulate many critical physiological processes. Understanding the functions of neuropeptides in vivo requires the ability to monitor their dynamics with high specificity, sensitivity, and spatiotemporal resolution. However, this has been hindered by the lack of direct, sensitive, and noninvasive tools. We developed a series of GRAB (G protein-coupled receptor activation‒based) sensors for detecting somatostatin (SST), corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), cholecystokinin (CCK), neuropeptide Y (NPY), neurotensin (NTS), and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). These fluorescent sensors, which enable detection of specific neuropeptide binding at nanomolar concentrations, establish a robust tool kit for studying the release, function, and regulation of neuropeptides under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
Sexual, parental, and aggressive behaviors are central to the reproductive success of individuals and species survival and thus are supported by hardwired neural circuits. The reproductive behavior control column (RBCC), which comprises the medial preoptic nucleus (MPN), the ventrolateral part of the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMHvl), and the ventral premammillary nucleus (PMv), is essential for all social behaviors. The RBCC integrates diverse hormonal and metabolic cues and adjusts an animal's physical activity, hence the chance of social encounters. The RBCC further engages the mesolimbic dopamine system to maintain social interest and reinforces cues and actions that are time-locked with social behaviors. We propose that the RBCC and brainstem form a dual-control system for generating moment-to-moment social actions. This Review summarizes recent progress regarding the identities of RBCC cells and their pathways that drive different aspects of social behaviors.

Abstract
Sexual and aggressive behaviors are vital for species survival and individual reproductive success. Although many limbic regions have been found relevant to these behaviors, how social cues are represented across regions and how the network activity generates each behavior remains elusive. To answer these questions, we utilize multi-fiber photometry (MFP) to simultaneously record Ca2+ signals of estrogen receptor alpha (Esr1)-expressing cells from 13 limbic regions in male mice during mating and fighting. We find that conspecific sensory information and social action signals are widely distributed in the limbic system and can be decoded from the network activity. Cross-region correlation analysis reveals striking increases in the network functional connectivity during the social action initiation phase, whereas late copulation is accompanied by a "dissociated" network state. Based on the response patterns, we propose a mating-biased network (MBN) and an aggression-biased network (ABN) for mediating male sexual and aggressive behaviors, respectively.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Globally, cervical cancer is the fourth most frequent cancer in women. The local and gut microbiomes of cervical cancer patients primarily consist of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Bacterial composition has been previously associated with response to chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and patient outcome. Recently, our group has demonstrated that the HPV virome dynamically shifts during treatment and was associated with treatment response. Although connections between fungi and cervicovaginal health have been established, little is known about the fungal microbiome during treatment of cervical cancer. In this study, we sought to explore changes in fungal distribution throughout CRT for a cohort of cervical cancer patients. MATERIALS/METHODS This study includes 57 patients diagnosed with cervical cancer at a single institution with samples collected throughout CRT timepoints: baseline, week 1, week 3, and week 5. 170 swab specimens were included in this analysis: 138 cervical swabs from 56 patients and 32 rectal swabs from 9 patients. Whole genome sequencing data was obtained from the swabs using the Illumina HiSeqX platform (2 × 150bp). Fungal reads were log transformed to reduce variability and skewness and normalized to the total library size resulting in log normalized fungal reads per million (RPM). Bacterial reads were normalized with the same methodology. Timepoint analysis was performed using Wilcoxon signed rank tests or Friedman tests (with Dunn's multiple comparisons test) when comparing two or more time points, respectively. RESULTS All swab samples contained reads mapped to fungi. Of the 3.70 × 109 total reads across all sequenced samples, 19.2% did not map specifically to the human genome: 91.8% of these non-human reads could not be mapped to an individual microbial genome. Of the remaining 8.2% of non-human reads that mapped to a specific microbial genome (1.6% of total), 97.4% were classified as bacterial (1.5% of total), 0.71% as virus (0.011% of total), and 0.44% as fungal (0.0069% of total). Comparison of fungal RPM in the cervical and rectal microbiome revealed a significant decrease during treatment from baseline to week 5 (cervical, P = 0.0002; rectal, P = 0.0273). Distribution of bacterial reads exhibited similar trends as decreases were observed between baseline and week 5 for both cervical (P = 0.0116) and rectal (P = 0.0195) samples. Fungi to bacteria distribution ratios in the rectal microbiome revealed significant differences when comparing across all timepoints (P = 0.0041), baseline vs. week 1 (P = 0.0028), baseline vs. week 3 (P = 0.0389), and baseline vs. week 5 (P = 0.0113) with all three later timepoints higher relative to baseline. CONCLUSION The distributions of cervical and gut fungal reads and their relationship to the bacteriome shift during CRT. Further investigation into characterizing fungi and their relationship with other microbiota will be valuable to understanding its potential associations with cervical cancer and treatment response.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Testicular seminoma affects young men and is associated with very favorable prognosis. The evolution in treatment paradigm has focused on minimizing acute and especially late toxicities. Following orchiectomy, while surveillance is favored in Stage I patients, radiotherapy (RT) is a standard treatment option for de novo or relapsed stage IIA or select non-bulky stage IIB disease. Despite low doses, standard RT fields to paraaortic and pelvic lymphatics using x-rays exposes a large volume of uninvolved normal tissue/viscera to excess dose. This young patient population is especially vulnerable to risks of late RT toxicities including secondary malignancy. Proton beam therapy (PBT) has dosimetric advantage over x-ray-based RT due to lack of exit dose, and comparative dosimetric/modeling studies show significant sparing of uninvolved abdominal/pelvic organs. However, there is scant reported clinical data at this time for PBT. We review our early institutional outcomes with PBT for testicular seminoma. MATERIALS/METHODS Single institution retrospective review from a tertiary care center of patients treated with PBT from 2013-2022 for testicular seminoma. Recurrence free (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated from the completion of PBT. Toxicities were graded (Gr) using CTCAE v5.0. RESULTS Four patients underwent PBT, median age 39 (range 36-47). All were Stage I at diagnosis (pT1b n = 3; pT2 n = 1) and were treated for recurrent stage II disease (IIA n = 3; IIB n = 1) at a median of 34 months from orchiectomy (range 3 - 74 months). Nodal extent included 2 with multiple paraaortic nodes, 1 with solitary paraaortic node and 1 with solitary pelvic node. PBT was delivered with pencil-beam scanning, treating paraaortic + ipsilateral pelvic fields (20 Gy in 10 fractions), then sequential boost to involved nodes (10 -16 Gy in 5-8 fractions). Typically, PA or posterior oblique fields were used to minimize dose to out-of-field abdominal/pelvic viscera. Treatment was well tolerated with minimal acute toxicities: fatigue Gr 1 (n = 3), nausea Gr 1 (n = 3). No Gr 2 or higher acute toxicities or significant late toxicities were observed. At median follow up of 30 months (range 3 - 54), no recurrences were observed, and RFS and OS were 100%. Two patients are without evidence of disease > 4 years post-treatment. CONCLUSION In this case series, PBT for retroperitoneal and pelvic metastases in Stage IIA/IIB testicular seminoma was associated with oncologic efficacy with minimal toxicity. PBT reduces unnecessary dose to abdominal/pelvic organs compared to x-ray techniques, which is advantageous in young patients who have anticipated long-term survival. This is one of the few series reporting clinical outcomes of PBT in the management of seminoma. Randomized comparisons with x-ray approaches are impractical given the relatively low volume of patients receiving RT in modern seminoma management, so it is essential to report and track longitudinal outcomes across institutions to validate this approach.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Local treatment options for patients with locally recurrent pancreatic adenocarcinoma (L-PAC) are limited, with expected median survival time (MST) of 8-11 months (mo) following recurrence. MRI-guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) provides the ability to dose escalate while sparing normal tissue. The literature for MR-guided Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (MRgSBRT) for L-PAC is sparse. Here we report on the early outcomes of MRgSBRT in patients with L-PAC. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients with prior resection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma with post-operative chemotherapy as indicated followed by local recurrence of disease at prior surgical site and treated with MRgSBRT at a single tertiary referral center from 5-2021 to 8-2022 for L-PAC were identified from our prospective database. MRgSBRT was delivered to 40-50 Gy in 4-5 fractions with target and OAR delineation per institutional standards. Descriptive analysis of the patient, disease, and treatment characteristics were performed. Endpoints included local control, defined as absence of tumor progression per RECIST criteria, distant failure, overall survival (OS), and acute and chronic toxicities per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5. RESULTS Eleven patients with L-PAC were identified with median follow-up of 10.7 mo (3.2 - 22.3). Ten of those underwent surgical resection at the treating radiation facility and one patient underwent preoperative radiation for 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions followed by surgical resection at an outside hospital. MRgRT was delivered a median of 18.8 mo (3.5 - 48.0) following resection. There were 5 females and 6 males, with a median age of 72 years (52-83) and median KPS of 80 (60-100). OS rates following initial diagnosis at 12, 18 and 24 mo were 100%, 82%, and 61%, respectively, with an MST of 25.3 mo (12.4-53.1). OS rates following recurrence at 6 and 12 mo were 82% and 52%, respectively, with an MST of 10.7 mo (3.2 - 21.9). One patient experienced local failure at 7.8 mo, and 9 patients experienced distant failure at a median of 3.4 mo (0.3 - 21.9) following MRgSBRT. Five patients experienced distant failure less than 3 mo following radiation. Grade 1 or 2 acute GI toxicity was noted in 45% of patients and chronic GI toxicity, in 18% of patients. No Grade≥3 AEs were noted. CONCLUSION MRgSBRT for recurrent pancreatic adenocarcinoma demonstrates good local control with acceptable acute and chronic toxicity as well as reasonable overall survival. Distant failure remains a substantial problem with a significant number of patients demonstrating metastases immediately following radiation, suggesting the presence of micro-metastatic disease prior to local therapy. Adequate patient selection for MRgSBRT, and proper integration of systemic therapy in this patient population remains a topic of discussion that requires further exploration.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Tumor bacterial composition is strongly associated with response to cancer therapy, and is impacted by environment, including geography. Human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypic diversity composition and load are dynamic during pelvic radiation (RT) and correlate with differential responses to RT in cervical cancer patients. In this multi-institutional, collaborative study, we aimed to explore associations between bacterial composition, HPV serotypes, and geographical distribution in an international patient population. MATERIALS/METHODS Cervical swabs were collected from 287 patients diagnosed with cervical cancer/ dysplasia in four locations: Houston, USA (TX; N = 94), Ethiopia (ETH; N = 85), Puerto Rico (PR; N = 71), and Botswana (BOT; N = 37). Swabs were collected prior to treatment and were subjected to 16S V4 rRNA gene sequencing and HPV genotyping. We compared HPV types and geography via Chi-squared test. We analyzed bacterial composition, alpha diversity (ANOVA), and beta diversity (principal coordinates analysis [PCoA] with PERMANOVA) for HPV type and geography. We used Linear Discriminant Effect Size (LEfSe) analysis to distinguish taxa associated with HPV types. RESULTS Overall, the global bacterial composition for patients with cancer or dysplasia did not significantly vary by location. However, the proportion of patients with each HPV type varied by location (p<0.01); HPV16 was most frequent in TX (54%), BOT (70%) and ETH (61%), while HPV18 was most frequent in PR (62%). The proportion of patients with HPV low-risk/negative tumors was highest in ETH (25%) compared to other sites (2% - 14%). Patients with HPV 16 had significantly higher bacterial alpha diversity across locations (all p<0.01). The bacterial composition also differed by HPV type across locations (p = 0.01). On LEfSe, bacterial genera enriched in HPV 16 samples were Bacteroides, Clostridium, and Prevotella. Non-HPV16 tumors were enriched in species of Lactobacillus and Gardnerella and HPV 18 and high-risk type tumors were enriched in Escherichia. CONCLUSION In thislarge, international cohort of cervical cancer and dysplasia patients, bacterial composition was more closely associated with cervical HPV genotype than with geography. This finding has implications for the development of biomarkers and interventions aimed at improving chemotherapy and radiation response through manipulation of the microbiome.

Abstract
This paper reports the data of a patient who was admitted to hospital for "cough with blood in sputum for 6 months" and diagnosed with α-fetoprotein(AFP) positive primary hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung. The patient was an 83-year-old male with a history of smoking for more than 60 years. Tumor indicators of patients were: AFP>3 000 ng/ml, carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) 31.5 ng/ml, CA724 46.90 U/ml, Cyfra21-1 10.20 ng/ml, NSE 18.50 ng/ml, and the pathological findings of percutaneous lung biopsy showed that poorly differentiated cancer with significant necrosis. Combined with the results of immunohistochemistry and clinical laboratory examination, it is considered as metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. PET-CT showed that FDG metabolism of multiple lymph nodes in the right lower lung, part of the pleura and mediastinum was increased, and the FDG metabolism in the liver or other systems/tissues was normal. Based on these results, it was diagnosed as AFP positive primary hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung, and the tumor stage was T4N3M1a(IVA). Through the data of the patient and the existing literature and reviews, we can get the tumor characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of HAL, and improve the level of diagnosis and treatment of HAL by clinicians.

Abstract
Oxytocin (OT), a peptide hormone and neuromodulator, is involved in diverse physiological and pathophysiological processes in the central nervous system and the periphery. However, the regulation and functional sequences of spatial OT release in the brain remain poorly understood. We describe a genetically encoded G-protein-coupled receptor activation-based (GRAB) OT sensor called GRABOT1.0. In contrast to previous methods, GRABOT1.0 enables imaging of OT release ex vivo and in vivo with suitable sensitivity, specificity and spatiotemporal resolution. Using this sensor, we visualize stimulation-induced OT release from specific neuronal compartments in mouse brain slices and discover that N-type calcium channels predominantly mediate axonal OT release, whereas L-type calcium channels mediate somatodendritic OT release. We identify differences in the fusion machinery of OT release for axon terminals versus somata and dendrites. Finally, we measure OT dynamics in various brain regions in mice during male courtship behavior. Thus, GRABOT1.0 provides insights into the role of compartmental OT release in physiological and behavioral functions.

Abstract
In many species, including mice, female animals show markedly different pup-directed behaviours based on their reproductive state1,2. Naive wild female mice often kill pups, while lactating female mice are dedicated to pup caring3,4. The neural mechanisms that mediate infanticide and its switch to maternal behaviours during motherhood remain unclear. Here, on the basis of the hypothesis that maternal and infanticidal behaviours are supported by distinct and competing neural circuits5,6, we use the medial preoptic area (MPOA), a key site for maternal behaviours7-11, as a starting point and identify three MPOA-connected brain regions that drive differential negative pup-directed behaviours. Functional manipulation and in vivo recording reveal that oestrogen receptor α (ESR1)-expressing cells in the principal nucleus of the bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BNSTprESR1) are necessary, sufficient and naturally activated during infanticide in female mice. MPOAESR1 and BNSTprESR1 neurons form reciprocal inhibition to control the balance between positive and negative infant-directed behaviours. During motherhood, MPOAESR1 and BNSTprESR1 cells change their excitability in opposite directions, supporting a marked switch of female behaviours towards the young.

Abstract
Reproduction is the biological process by which new individuals are produced by their parents. It is the fundamental feature of all known life and is required for the existence of all species. All mammals reproduce sexually, a process that involves the union of two reproductive cells, one from a male and one from a female. Sexual behaviors are a series of actions leading to reproduction. They are composed of appetitive, action, and refractory phases, each supported by dedicated developmentally-wired neural circuits to ensure high reproduction success. In rodents, successful reproduction can only occur during female ovulation. Thus, female sexual behavior is tightly coupled with ovarian activity, namely the estrous cycle. This is achieved through the close interaction between the female sexual behavior circuit and the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. In this review, we will summarize our current understanding, learned mainly in rodents, regarding the neural circuits underlying each phase of the female sexual behaviors and their interaction with the HPG axis, highlighting the gaps in our knowledge that require future investigation.

Abstract
Aggression is costly and requires tight regulation. Here we identify the projection from estrogen receptor alpha-expressing cells in the caudal part of the medial preoptic area (cMPOAEsr1) to the ventrolateral part of the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMHvl) as an essential pathway for modulating aggression in male mice. cMPOAEsr1 cells increase activity mainly during male-male interaction, which differs from the female-biased response pattern of rostral MPOAEsr1 (rMPOAEsr1) cells. Notably, cMPOAEsr1 cell responses to male opponents correlated with the opponents' fighting capability, which mice could estimate based on physical traits or learn through physical combats. Inactivating the cMPOAEsr1-VMHvl pathway increased aggression, whereas activating the pathway suppressed natural intermale aggression. Thus, cMPOAEsr1 is a key population for encoding opponents' fighting capability-information that could be used to prevent animals from engaging in disadvantageous conflicts with superior opponents by suppressing the activity of VMHvl cells essential for attack behaviors.

Abstract
Social behaviors are innate and supported by dedicated neural circuits, but it remains unclear whether these circuits are developmentally hardwired or established through social experience. Here, we revealed distinct response patterns and functions in social behavior of medial amygdala (MeA) cells originating from two embryonically parcellated developmental lineages. MeA cells in male mice that express the transcription factor Foxp2 (MeAFoxp2) are specialized for processing male conspecific cues even before puberty and are essential for adult inter-male aggression. In contrast, MeA cells derived from the Dbx1-lineage (MeADbx1) respond broadly to social cues and are non-essential for male aggression. Furthermore, MeAFoxp2 and MeADbx1 cells show differential anatomical and functional connectivity. Altogether, our results support a developmentally hardwired aggression circuit at the level of the MeA and we propose a lineage-based circuit organization by which a cell's embryonic transcription factor profile determines its social information representation and behavior relevance during adulthood.

Abstract
Sexual behavior is fundamental for the survival of mammalian species and thus supported by dedicated neural substrates. The ventrolateral part of ventromedial hypothalamus (VMHvl) is an essential locus for controlling female sexual behaviors, but recent studies revealed the molecular complexity and functional heterogeneity of VMHvl cells. Here, we identify the cholecystokinin A receptor (Cckar)-expressing cells in the lateral VMHvl (VMHvllCckar) as the key controllers of female sexual behaviors. The inactivation of VMHvllCckar cells in female mice diminishes their interest in males and sexual receptivity, whereas activating these cells has the opposite effects. Female sexual behaviors vary drastically over the reproductive cycle. In vivo recordings reveal reproductive-state-dependent changes in VMHvllCckar cell spontaneous activity and responsivity, with the highest activity occurring during estrus. These in vivo response changes coincide with robust alternation in VMHvllCckar cell excitability and synaptic inputs. Altogether, VMHvllCckar cells represent a key neural population dynamically controlling female sexual behaviors over the reproductive cycle.

Abstract
Social behaviors are among the most important motivated behaviors. How dopamine (DA), a "reward" signal, releases during social behaviors has been a topic of interest for decades. Here, we use a genetically encoded DA sensor, GRABDA2m, to record DA activity in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) core during various social behaviors in male and female mice. We find that DA releases during approach, investigation and consummation phases of social behaviors signal animals' motivation, familiarity of the social target, and valence of the experience, respectively. Positive and negative social experiences evoke opposite DA patterns. Furthermore, DA releases during mating and fighting are sexually dimorphic with a higher level in males than in females. At the functional level, increasing DA in NAc enhances social interest toward a familiar conspecific and alleviates defeat-induced social avoidance. Altogether, our results reveal complex information encoded by NAc DA activity during social behaviors and their multistage functional roles.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Damage in the intestinal epithelium is repaired via de-differentiation of mature intestinal epithelial cells to a stem-like state. Indeed, literature has primarily focused on acute forms of intestinal damage, but there is a lack of models to study how intestinal stem cells function after chronic injury, such as in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). A previous report found that growth of mouse intestinal organoids in air-liquid interface (ALI) follows by submergence caused differentiation and reversible injury, but this has not been demonstrated in human cells or with repeated cycles of injury. Understanding how chronic damage alters human intestinal stem cell fate and function is imperative to developing novel therapies that repair the epithelium in people with IBD
Aims
To develop a robust in vitro model to differentiate and damage human intestinal epithelial cells, with or without the addition of bacterial flagellin to mimic pathogen exposure.
Methods
Human colonoid monolayers were seeded on Transwell inserts for 10 days until fully confluent and then differentiated by removing the apical media to create ALI growth conditions for 7 days. To induce damage, media was added to the apical side of the Transwell, with or without the addition of flagellin in the basolateral compartment. Following submergence induced damage, the apical media was removed and collected for chemokine analysis, and the cells were grown back in ALI for 3 days to recover them from injury. This cycle was repeated 5 times to induce chronic damage. Cells were collected for qPCR analysis, immunofluorescence imaging, RNA sequencing and DNA methylation analysis
Results
Repeated rounds of damage impaired the ability of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) to respond to TLR stimulation (a decrease in basolateral IL-8 with each round), likely due to a decrease in TLR signaling pathways, as demonstrated by GSEA and qPCR. Chronic submergence damage led to an increase in differentiation of cells expressing MUC2, SLC26a3 and CHGA, and a decrease in stemness as shown by qPCR for BMI1, HOPX, and LGR5. After several rounds of damage, colonoid monolayers were unable to regrow as monolayers after passaging, likely due to a decrease in YAP signaling. We also identified mRNA expression and DNA methylation changes in genes associated with IBD and colon cancer.
Conclusions
We have developed a novel chronic damage model of recurrent IEC injury, which possibly mimics pathologies seen in people with inflammatory bowel disease. This model can be used to understand how chronic damage alters the ability of IECs to respond to pathogens and regenerate to repair and protect the epithelium from further damage.

Abstract
Fast ion phase-space flow, driven by Alfvén eigenmodes (AEs), is measured by an imaging neutral particle analyzer in the DIII-D tokamak. The flow firstly appears near the minimum safety factor at the injection energy of neutral beams, and then moves radially inward and outward by gaining and losing energy, respectively. The flow trajectories in phase space align well with the intersection lines of the constant magnetic moment surfaces and constant E-(ω/n)P_{ζ} surfaces, where E, P_{ζ} are the energy and canonical toroidal momentum of ions; ω and n are angular frequencies and toroidal mode numbers of AEs. It is found that the flow is so destructive that the thermalization of fast ions is no longer observed in regions of strong interaction. The measured phase-space flow is consistent with nonlinear hybrid kinetic-magnetohydrodynamics simulation. Calculations of the relatively narrow phase-space islands reveal that fast ions must transition between different flow trajectories to experience large-scale phase-space transport.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recurrent pericarditis (RP) patients report that painful, debilitating flares negatively impact their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). RHAPSODY, the Phase 3 trial of rilonacept (IL-1α/IL-1β cytokine trap), included a daily pain diary and patient-reported outcome SF-36v2 to measure HRQoL throughout the trial.
Purpose
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of rilonacept on HRQoL in relation to changes in pain for RP patients who have a recurrence.
Methods
RHAPSODY enrolled 86 patients with acute symptomatic RP to receive weekly rilonacept for a 12-week run-in (RI) period and randomized 61 patients (1:1) to receive placebo (n=31) or continue rilonacept (n=30) for the event-driven randomized-withdrawal (RW) period. Patients on placebo who experienced a qualifying recurrence during RW (return of pericarditis pain and increase in C-reactive protein) were rescued with bailout rilonacept. Patients reported daily pericarditis pain electronically, using a 0–10 numeric rating scale (NRS), and completed the SF-36v2 at study visits prior to clinician interaction. Scores from RI Baseline (BL), RI Week 12 (RW BL), Recurrence visit, and RW up to Week 24 (or end of study; EOS) were evaluated for patients who experienced recurrence in RW. Analyses exclude one patient randomized to placebo who had a recurrence after Week 24 of the RW period.
Results
Analyses focused on the 22 of 30 patients (73%) in the placebo group who experienced a recurrence before Week 24 of RW (median time from RW BL to recurrence: 8.6 weeks). During RI, daily pain scores decreased while on rilonacept (Cohen's effect size [ES] d=−2.0), and SF-36v2 scores improved, with scores at RI BL (Fig. 1 red line) below the general population average of 50 and near or above average at RI Week 12 (Fig. 1 blue line); ES were all large (d>0.8), ranging from 0.917 (Mental Component Summary) to 2.021 (Bodily Pain). At recurrence, pain scores increased (d=6.5; Fig. 2) and SF-36v2 scores were below the population average (Fig. 1 orange line), with largest reductions between RI Week 12 (RW BL) and recurrence for Bodily Pain (−13.4) and Physical Component Summary (−10.6). Following rilonacept bailout, average pain decreased (d=−2.1; Fig. 2), and by RW Week 24/EOS, SF-36v2 scores returned to similar levels as at the end of the RI period (Fig. 1 green line).
Conclusion
Impaired RI BL SF-36v2 scores indicate negative impact of RP on HRQOL in RP patients. While receiving rilonacept, HRQoL scores improved to near or above population averages, in conjunction with patient-reported pain. After discontinuing rilonacept during RW, HRQoL scores worsened at recurrence and improved upon receipt of bail-out rilonacept, similar to pain. These results provide support for the broader benefit of rilonacept treatment beyond pain, when administered on top of conventional therapies and as mono-therapy, providing evidence of its potential to improve HRQoL in this patient population.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Annually in the United States (US), an estimated 80–90,000 patients are diagnosed with acute pericarditis and 15–30% experience recurrent pericarditis (RP), resulting in increased morbidity and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Treatment options include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and colchicine. Corticosteroids (CS) are often added to the treatment plan in RP despite CS-associated adverse events and inherent potentiation of recurrence with long-term treatment. A recent Phase 3 clinical trial RHAPSODY (NCT03737110) demonstrated efficacy and safety of rilonacept, an interleukin-1 α and β cytokine trap, in patients with RP. RHAPSODY data helped support FDA approval of the first therapy for RP. With the emergence of this targeted therapy, there is increased interest to learn more about this disease with the goal to better inform treatment and management decisions and improve long-term outcomes.
Purpose
RESONANCE Registry aims to evaluate the natural history of RP by collecting retrospective and prospective, longitudinal physician- and patient-reported outcomes data in real-world clinical practice across the US.
Methods
RP patients with active disease (recurrence within 3 years) will have both retrospective and prospective data collected (Figure 1) for as long as their RP is managed up to 5 years. For patients with inactive disease (no recurrence within 3 years), data collection will be retrospective (Figure 2). Up to 500 patients in the US are planned for enrollment at pediatric and adult medical centers, with the potential for expansion to European sites. Additionally, patients will be recruited through a novel, internet-based technology platform and screened for eligibility at a “decentralized” trial site. The registry will include variables obtained from health records, including baseline characteristics and medical history, as well as patient reported outcome (PRO) measures collected every 3 months. The RESONANCE protocol is designed to include a broad population of pediatric and adult patients, regardless of etiology or treatment course, including patients treated with rilonacept. Data will be analyzed to understand disease heterogeneity, variability in treatment and management, and impact on HRQoL. The protocol and Case Report Forms (CRFs) were developed in collaboration with physicians, patients, and patient advocates.
Conclusions
Registries utilize real-world data to fill knowledge gaps in the management of less common diseases such as RP. The RESONANCE Registry is the first RP registry designed to collect data across a broad range of patients regardless of treatment. The registry will also serve as a connection point for physicians to further educate and empower patients with information about their disease. In addition, PRO data may enable greater insights into the understanding of the burden of RP from the patient's perspective.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Low QRS amplitude (QRSa), QRS fractionation (QRSf) and longer QRS duration (QRSd) are markers of myocardial fibrosis and inflammation in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM).
Objective
To determine if reduction of inflammation with treatment of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) may reverse these 12 lead ECG parameter changes.
Methods
21 patients (pts) with CS and VT ablation with a positive baseline positron emission tomographic (PET 1) scan were studied. All pts received prednisone ≥40 mg for 4 to 8 weeks followed by a taper and maintenance with methotrexate ± low-dose prednisone, <10 mg/day, until clinically stable and resolution of inflammation on PET 2 one year after initial. In addition, pts with low LV ejection fraction (13/21) received guideline directed medical therapy for heart failure. Pts at 1yr with positive PET2 (9) were compared to those with negative PET2 (12). Baseline and 1yr 12-lead ECGs were analyzed for QRSd, ≥2QRSf contiguous leads and QRSa in the limb leads.
Results
Pts in PET2(+) vs PET2(−) groups has similar gender (men 89% vs 100%, p=0.42), age (57±8 vs 56±10 years, p=0.8) and LV ejection fraction (41±11 vs 46±11, p=0.31). Baseline 12-lead ECGs showed similar QRSd, ≥2QRSf contiguous leads and QRSa for PET2(+) vs PET2(−); P all >0.15 (Table 1). At 1 yr there was a lower prevalence of ≥2QRSf contiguous leads and strong trend for shorter QRS duration and larger QRSa in lead DI if PET2(−) vs PET2(+). 4 pts demonstrated loss of QRSf 2 contiguous leads and/or increase in QRSa in DI by at least 0.15 mV from baseline if PET2(−) and none if PET2(+).
Conclusions
In pts with CS and VT, reversal of inflammation may result in a greater QRSa and reduction in QRSf. An increase in QRSa in lead 1 by >0.15mV and/or loss of QRSf identifies a clear positive response to treatment and negative PET at 1 year.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic and response measures, including lockdowns and the reorientation of health services, have disrupted essential health services for other diseases, including TB, HIV and malaria. For TB, reductions in case detection due to the COVID-19 pandemic are projected to result in increased TB transmission, morbidity and mortality. Active case-finding (ACF) for TB using community-based approaches is a potential strategy to offset reductions in TB detection by obviating the need for patients to seek care at a health facility. A number of approaches can be used to conduct TB ACF safely and screen designated target populations while managing the risks of SARS-CoV-2 transmission for staff, individuals and the community. We present a framework of options for and experience of adapting TB ACF services in response to the challenges of COVID-19 in our programme in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Key changes have included revised prioritisation of target populations focusing on household contacts, reducing case-finding throughput, implementation of additional infection control measures and precautions, and integration of COVID-19 screening among those being screened for TB. Our approach could inform other programmes seeking to adapt TB ACF services to mitigate the negative impact of COVID-19 on TB case detection.

Abstract
Jupiter's bright persistent polar aurora and Earth's dark polar region indicate that the planets' magnetospheric topologies are very different. High-resolution global simulations show that the reconnection rate at the interface between the interplanetary and jovian magnetic fields is too slow to generate a magnetically open, Earth-like polar cap on the time scale of planetary rotation, resulting in only a small crescent-shaped region of magnetic flux interconnected with the interplanetary magnetic field. Most of the jovian polar cap is threaded by helical magnetic flux that closes within the planetary interior, extends into the outer magnetosphere, and piles up near its dawnside flank where fast differential plasma rotation pulls the field lines sunward. This unusual magnetic topology provides new insights into Jupiter's distinctive auroral morphology.

Abstract
Social behaviors, such as mating, fighting, and parenting, are fundamental for survival of any vertebrate species. All members of a species express social behaviors in a stereotypical and species-specific way without training because of developmentally hardwired neural circuits dedicated to these behaviors. Despite being innate, social behaviors are flexible. The readiness to interact with a social target or engage in specific social acts can vary widely based on reproductive state, social experience, and many other internal and external factors. Such high flexibility gives vertebrates the ability to release the relevant behavior at the right moment and toward the right target. This maximizes reproductive success while minimizing the cost and risk associated with behavioral expression. Decades of research have revealed the basic neural circuits underlying each innate social behavior. The neural mechanisms that support behavioral plasticity have also started to emerge. Here we provide an overview of these social behaviors and their underlying neural circuits and then discuss in detail recent findings regarding the neural processes that support the flexibility of innate social behaviors.
