    Abstract Phytic acid (myo‐inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6‐hexakisphosphate) in grains and legumes reduces bioavailability and absorption of minerals in the gut via chelation of divalent minerals such as iron and zinc. In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a low‐phytate mutant (lpa1‐1), developed by ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis, was reported to reduce phytate in wheat grain by up to 35% and to elevate free inorganic phosphate (Pi). Little is known about the genetic architecture conditioning this high‐Pi (HIP) phenotype in wheat. Inheritance of the HIP phenotype was evaluated in three segregating populations developed with the lpa1‐1 derivative A02568WS‐A‐12‐10 as a common parent. Distinct genotypic classes were not identified in these populations. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) and develop molecular markers for the HIP phenotype, 171 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from a winter wheat cross ‘Danby’ × A02568WS‐A‐12‐10 were phenotyped for Pi concentration and genotyped by reduced‐representation sequencing. A total of 1,246 nonredundant, high‐quality single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were used to construct a linkage map spanning 3,272 cM. Two major‐effect QTL were identified on chromosomes 4D and 5A, accounting for 23 and 33% of the total phenotypic variation, respectively. Multiple interval mapping (MIM) identified synergistic additive × additive epistasis between these QTL, and the full MIM model accounted for 54% of the phenotypic variation in grain Pi. Ten candidate genes were identified within or in close proximity to the genomic locations of the QTL, five of which encode proteins within the inositol phosphate metabolism pathway. Site‐specific marker assays were developed for marker‐assisted breeding.

    Abstract The linear mixed-effects model (LME) is a versatile approach to account for dependence among observations. Many large-scale neuroimaging datasets with complex designs have increased the need for LME; however LME has seldom been used in whole-brain imaging analyses due to its heavy computational requirements. In this paper, we introduce a fast and efficient mixed-effects algorithm (FEMA) that makes whole-brain vertex-wise, voxel-wise, and connectome-wide LME analyses in large samples possible. We validate FEMA with extensive simulations, showing that the estimates of the fixed effects are equivalent to standard maximum likelihood estimates but obtained with orders of magnitude improvement in computational speed. We demonstrate the applicability of FEMA by studying the cross-sectional and longitudinal effects of age on region-of-interest level and vertex-wise cortical thickness, as well as connectome-wide functional connectivity values derived from resting state functional MRI, using longitudinal imaging data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development

    Abstract The use of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) remains an important component in the management of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). This is due to the high rates of subclinical brain metastases at the time of diagnosis. Following a response to initial treatment, PCI historically has been associated with improvements in overall survival and decreased development of brain metastases in patients with limited stage (LS-SCLC) and extensive stage (ES-SCLC) SCLC. However, PCI is commonly withheld in these settings in favor of observation, largely due to its association with cognitive sequelae following treatment. While randomized data has demonstrated that in patients with ES-SCLC, PCI may be withheld in favor of close MRI surveillance without a detriment in overall survival or cognitive functioning, these patients did not undergo formal neuropsychological assessments. In recent years, cognitive sparing techniques incorporated into whole brain radiation therapy and PCI, such as the addition of memantine and hippocampal avoidance, have demonstrated significant improvements in cognitive outcomes. As the overall survival in patients with SCLC continues to improve due to the incorporation of novel systemic therapies (e.g., immune checkpoint inhibitors), the role of PCI and maximizing quality of life remains a highly relevant topic. This article reviews the role of PCI and cognitive-sparing techniques in the management of SCLC.

    Abstract Protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR-2) is activated by secreted proteases from immune cells or fungi. PAR-2 is normally expressed basolaterally in differentiated nasal ciliated cells. We hypothesized that epithelial remodeling during diseases characterized by cilial loss and squamous metaplasia may alter PAR-2 polarization. Here, using a fluorescent arrestin assay, we confirmed that the common fungal airway pathogen

    Abstract Objective: Immune dysfunction and chronic inflammation are characteristic of HIV infection and diabetes mellitus, with CD4 + T-cell metabolism implicated in the pathogenesis of each disease. However, there is limited information on CD4 + T-cell metabolism in HIV+ persons with diabetes mellitus. We examined CD4 + T-cell glucose metabolism in HIV+ women with and without diabetes mellitus.
    Design: A case-control study was used to compare CD4 + T-cell glucose metabolism in women with HIV with or without diabetes mellitus.
    Methods: Nondiabetic (HIV+DM-, N = 20) or type 2 diabetic HIV+ women with (HIV+DM+, N  = 16) or without (HIV+DMTx+, N  = 18) antidiabetic treatment were identified from the WIHS and matched for age, race/ethnicity, smoking status and CD4 + cell count. CD4 + T-cell immunometabolism was examined by flow cytometry, microfluidic qRT-PCR of metabolic genes, and Seahorse extracellular flux analysis of stimulated CD4 + T cells.
    Results: HIV+DM+ displayed a significantly elevated proportion of CD4 + T cells expressing the immunometabolic marker GLUT1 compared with HIV+DMTx+ and HIV+DM- ( P  = 0.04 and P  = 0.01, respectively). Relative expression of genes encoding key enzymes for glucose metabolism pathways were elevated in CD4 + T cells of HIV+DM+ compared with HIV+DMTx+ and HIV+DM-. T-cell receptor (TCR)-activated CD4 + T cells from HIV+DM+ showed elevated glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation compared with HIV+DM-.
    Conclusion: CD4 + T cells from HIV+DM+ have elevated glucose metabolism. Treatment of diabetes mellitus among women with HIV may partially correct CD4 + T-cell metabolic dysfunction.

    Abstract African savannas are the last stronghold of diverse large-mammal communities, and a major focus of savanna ecology is to understand how these animals affect the relative abundance of trees and grasses. However, savannas support diverse plant life-forms, and human-induced changes in large-herbivore assemblages-declining wildlife populations and their displacement by livestock-may cause unexpected shifts in plant community composition. We investigated how herbivory affects the prevalence of lianas (woody vines) and their impact on trees in an East African savanna. Although scarce (<2% of tree canopy area) and defended by toxic latex, the dominant liana,
