Loss of dexras1 Alters Nonphotic Circadian Phase Shifts and Reveals a Role for the Intergeniculate Leaflet (IGL) in Gene-Targeted Mice

Loss of Dexras1 in gene-targeted mice impairs circadian entrainment to light cycles and produces complex changes to phase-dependent resetting responses (phase shifts) to light. The authors now describe greatly enhanced and phase-specific nonphotic responses induced by arousal in dexras1^?/? mice. In constant conditions, mutant mice exhibited significant arousal-induced phase shifts throughout the subjective day. Unusual phase advances in the late subjective night were also produced when arousal has little effect in mice. Bilateral lesions of the intergeniculate leaflet (IGL) completely eliminated both the nonphotic as well as the light-induced phase shifts of circadian locomotor rhythms during the subjective day, but had no effect on nighttime phase shifts. The expression of FOS-like protein in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) was not affected by either photic or nonphotic stimulation in the subjective day in either genotype. Therefore, the loss of Dexras1 (1) enhances nonphotic phase shifts in a phase-dependent manner, and (2) demonstrates that the IGL in mice is a primary mediator of circadian phase-resetting responses to both photic and nonphotic events during the subjective day, but plays a different functional role in the subjective night. Furthermore, (3) the change in FOS level does not appear to be a critical step in the entrainment pathways for either light or arousal during the subjective day. The cumulative evidence suggests that Dexras1 regulates multiple photic and nonphotic signal-transduction pathways, thereby playing an essential role modulating species-specific characteristics of circadian entrainment.

Induction of Female Breeding Characteristics by Ovarian Tissue Implants in Androgenic Gland Ablated Male Freshwater Prawns Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man) (Decapoda,Palaemonidae)

Summary

Implantation of ovarian tissue into androgenic gland ablated male prawns, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man) induced the development of ovigerous and ovipositing setae and brood chambers, suggesting that in females, these secondary sexual characteristics are induced by the ovary. This model system has potential for the study of morphological changes associated with breeding in the Decapoda.     

Development of a dual joystick‐controlled laser trapping and cutting system for optical micromanipulation of chromosomes inside living cells

A multi‐joystick robotic laser microscope system used to control two optical traps (tweezers) and one laser scissors has been developed for subcellular organelle manipulation. The use of joysticks has provided a “user‐friendly” method for both trapping and cutting of organelles such as chromosomes in live cells. This innovative design has enabled the clean severing of chromosome arms using the laser scissors as well as the ability to easily hold and pull the severed arm using the laser tweezers.

摘要 目的：研究超声造影在甲状腺结节鉴别诊断及良性结节微波消融治疗中的应用价值。方法：选取2015年1月～2018年2月我院收治的甲状腺结节患者100例作为研究对象,所有纳入对象均进行超声造影检查,分析甲状腺结节的超声造影特征,并与病理诊断结果进行对照。此外,将甲状腺良性结节患者以随机抽签法分成超声造影组31例和常规超声组30例。超声造影组微波消融治疗前后均予以超声造影配合,常规超声组微波消融治疗前后均予以常规超声配合。比较两组治疗前后甲状腺结节造影情况以及术后1年结节复发情况。结果：甲状腺恶性结节增强强度为低增强、增强模式为不均匀、无环绕增强占比均高于良性结节（均P＜0.05）。以病理诊断为金标准,超声造影诊断恶性甲状腺结节的灵敏度为92.31%、特异度为78.69%、准确度为84.00%。治疗后超声造影组甲状腺结节最长径、体积均低于常规超声组（均P＜0.05）。超声造影组术后1年结节复发率为0.00%,低于常规超声组的16.67%（P＜0.05）。结论：超声造影应用于甲状腺结节鉴别诊断的价值较高,且结合微波消融治疗良性结节的效果明显,预后理想,值得临床推广应用。     

The role of the antennae and maxillary palps in mediating food preference by larvae of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta

The role of antennae and maxillary palps in mediating food preferences by Manduca sexta (Johan.) (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) was examined. Fifth‐instar larvae, having different chemosensory organs remaining after microsurgery, were tested in two‐choice feeding assays using three solanaceous host species Lycopersicon esculentum (Mill.), Datura innoxia (Mill.), and Solanum pseudocapsicum (L.), an acceptable non‐host Raphanus sativus (L.) (Cruciferae), and an unacceptable non‐host Pelargonium hortorum (L.H. Bailey) (Geraniaceae). Larvae had a choice between leaf discs of two plant species or between one species and moist filter paper discs (water). The antennae are fully competent in mediating normal (unimpaired) food preferences for S. pseudocapsicum vs. water and P. hortorum vs. water. Thus, the antennae alone can mediate both acceptance and rejection behaviour. The latter is the first report of such a function in M. sexta. The antennae are partly competent (reduced preference) for S. pseudocapsicum vs. P. hortorum. No antennal competence could be demonstrated using the other plant species tested. The antennae alone are either partly needed (R. sativus vs. water) or not necessary to elicit normal food preferences for the plant species tested. The maxillary palps are fully competent in mediating normal food preference for S. pseudocapsicum vs. water, and D. innoxia vs. water. The palps are partly competent for S. pseudocapsicum vs. P. hortorum and incompetent for the other plant species tested. Thus, the maxillary palps alone could only mediate acceptance behaviour in this study. The need of the maxillary palps in normal food preferences could not be demonstrated. Interestingly, the maxillary palps alone can mediate food preferences for two normally rejected plants, R. sativus and P. hortorum. Similar results are reported for two other non‐host plant species, Vigna unguiculata (Walp.) (Leguminosae) and Vinca rosea (L.) (Apocynaceae). Perhaps, the maxillary palps inform M. sexta mostly about feeding stimulatory chemicals common to most plant species.
