    Abstract: Remote access and endoscopic thyroid surgery has been gaining popularity because it allows patients to avoid a visible scar in the neck. There is limited data on transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy when it relates to patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma. We aim to evaluate the safety of ipsilateral central compartment dissection for patients who undergo transoral thyroidectomy (thyroidectomy vestibular approach–compartment lymph node dissection). Patients and Methods A total of 80 patients who underwent thyroidectomy vestibular approach–compartment lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid carcinoma from June 2015 to September 2016 were identified. Over the same period, a matched cohort of 80 patients who underwent open thyroidectomy with routine ipsilateral central compartment dissection was also identified (Open-compartment lymph node dissection). The two groups were analyzed in terms of patient characteristics, perioperative clinical results and post-operative outcomes. Results All patients were female with a mean age of 32-year. There was no difference in mean maximum tumor size and number of lymph nodes dissected. Moreover, there was no difference in average positive lymph nodes between thyroidectomy vestibular approach–compartment lymph node dissection and Open-compartment lymph node dissection (1.48 vs 1.08, P = 0.647). Operative time was longer in the thyroidectomy vestibular approach–compartment lymph node dissection group (193 vs 102 min, P  & lt; 0.001). Thyroidectomy specific complications were similar with rates of temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy of 6.3 vs 8.8% and temporary hypocalcemia rates of 2.5 vs 5% in the thyroidectomy vestibular approach–compartment lymph node dissection and Open-compartment lymph node dissection groups, respectively. Conclusions Thyroidectomy vestibular approach–compartment lymph node dissection is a feasible and safe option for select patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma who require central node dissection compared with Open-compartment lymph node dissection, and can be a viable alternative for patients wishing to avoid a visible scar.

    Abstract: In viticulture, grafting has been practiced widely and influences grape development as well as berry and wine quality. However, there is limited understanding of the effects of rootstocks on grape phenolic compounds, which are located primarily in the berry skin and contribute to certain sensory attributes of wine. In this study, scion–rootstock interactions were investigated at the green-berry stage and the veraison stage when grapevines were hetero-grafted with three commonly used rootstock genotypes (5BB, 101-14MG, and SO4). Physiological investigations showed that hetero-grafts, especially CS/5BB, contained higher concentrations of total proanthocyanidins (PAs) and various PA components in berry skins compared with the auto-grafted grapevines. Further metabolomics analysis identified 105 differentially accumulated flavonoid compounds, the majority of which, including anthocyanins, PAs, and flavonols, were significantly increased in the berry skins of hetero-grafted grapevines compared with auto-grafted controls. In addition, transcriptomic analysis of the same samples identified several thousand differentially expressed genes between hetero-grafted and auto-grafted vines. The three rootstocks not only increased the transcript levels of stilbene, anthocyanin, PA, and flavonol synthesis genes but also affected the expression of numerous transcription factor genes. Taken together, our results suggest that hetero-grafting can promote phenolic compound accumulation in grape berry skin during development. These findings provide new insights for improving the application value of grafting by enhancing the accumulation of nutritious phenolic components in grape.

    Abstract: Grafting, which joins a scion from a cultivar with the stem of a rootstock from a grapevine wild relative, is commonly used in viticulture. Grafting has crucial effects on various phenotypes of the cultivar, including its phenology, biotic and abiotic resistance, berry metabolome, and coloration, but the underlying genetics and regulatory mechanisms are largely unexplored. In this study, we investigated the phenotypic, metabolomic, and transcriptomic profiles at three developmental stages (45, 75, and 105 days after flowering) of the Crimson Seedless cultivar (Vitis vinifera) grafted onto four rootstocks (three heterografts, CS/101-14, CS/SO4, and CS/110R and one self-graft, CS/CS) with own-rooted graft-free Crimson Seedless (CS) as the control. All the heterografts had a significant effect on berry reddening as early as ~45 days after flowering. The grafting of rootstocks promoted anthocyanin biosynthesis and accumulation in grape berries. The metabolomic features showed that cyanidin 3-O-glucoside, delphinidin 3-O-glucoside, malvidin 3-O-glucoside, peonidin 3-O-glucoside, and petunidin 3-O-glucoside were the pigments responsible for the purplish-red peel color. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that anthocyanin biosynthesis-related genes, from upstream (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase) to downstream (anthocyanidin 3-O-glucosyltransferase and anthocyanidin synthase), were upregulated with the accumulation of anthocyanins in the heterografted plants. At the same time, all these genes were also highly expressed and more anthocyanin was accumulated in self-grafted CS/CS samples compared with own-rooted graft-free CS samples, suggesting that self-grafting may also have promoted berry reddening in grapevine. Our results reveal global transcriptomic and metabolomic features in berry color regulation under different grafting conditions that may be useful for improving berry quality in viticulture.

    Abstract: Low-level lead exposure is a risk factor for cognitive and learning disabilities in children and has been specifically associated with deficits in auditory temporal processing that impair aural language and reading abilities. Here, we show that rats exposed to low levels of lead in early life display a significant behavioral impairment in an auditory temporal rate discrimination task. Lead exposure also results in a degradation of the neuronal repetition-rate following capacity and response synchronization in primary auditory cortex. A modified go/no-go repetition-rate discrimination task applied in adult animals for ∼50 days nearly restores to normal these lead-induced deficits in cortical temporal fidelity. Cortical expressions of parvalbumin, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and NMDA receptor subunits NR2a and NR2b, which are down-regulated in lead-exposed animals, are also partially reversed with training. These studies in an animal model identify the primary auditory cortex as a novel target for low-level lead exposure and demonstrate that perceptual training can ameliorate lead-induced deficits in cortical discrimination between sound sequences.

    Abstract: The compromised abilities to understand speech and localize sounds are two hallmark deficits in aged individuals. Earlier studies have shown that age-related deficits in cortical neural timing, which is clearly associated with speech perception, can be partially reversed with auditory training. However, whether training can reverse aged-related cortical changes in the domain of spatial processing has never been studied. In this study, we examined cortical spatial processing in ~21-month-old rats that were trained on a sound-azimuth discrimination task. We found that animals that experienced 1 month of training displayed sharper cortical sound-azimuth tuning when compared to the age-matched untrained controls. This training-induced remodeling in spatial tuning was paralleled by increases of cortical parvalbumin-labeled inhibitory interneurons. However, no measurable changes in cortical spatial processing were recorded in age-matched animals that were passively exposed to training sounds with no task demands. These results that demonstrate the effects of training on cortical spatial domain processing in the rodent model further support the notion that age-related changes in central neural process are, due to their plastic nature, reversible. Moreover, the results offer the encouraging possibility that behavioral training might be used to attenuate declines in auditory perception, which are commonly observed in older individuals.

    Abstract: The membrane (M) protein is the most abundant structural protein of coronaviruses including MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2, and plays a central role in virus assembly through its interaction with various partner proteins. However, mechanistic details about how M protein interacts with others remain elusive due to lack of high-resolution structures. Here, we present the first crystal structure of a betacoronavirus M protein from Pipistrellus bat coronavirus HKU5 (batCOV5-M), which is closely related to MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 M proteins. Furthermore, an interaction analysis indicates that the carboxy-terminus of the batCOV5 nucleocapsid (N) protein mediates its interaction with batCOV5-M. Combined with a computational docking analysis an M–N interaction model is proposed, providing insight into the mechanism of M protein–mediated protein interactions.
