    Abstract Objective: To establish a reverse genetic system of rabies virus for producing safe and efficient rabies vaccine.
    Method: By reverse genetic and molecular cloning technique, we established two rabies virus rescue systems including (1) help plasmids expressing N, P and L protein, and (2) CMV/T7 and T7 promoter.
    Results: Wild-type rERA-VC was rescued by both systems, and had the same growth kinetics as parental virus. The third generation virus could grow to high titer.
    Conclusion: The established reverse genetic system for rescuing wild-type rERA-VC provides the possibility of producing safe and efficient rabies virus vaccines.

    Abstract The pudgy (pu/pu) mouse, caused by a recessive mutation in the Notch family Delta like-3 gene (Dll3), has severe rib, vertebral body and intervertebral disc abnormalities. Using whole-mount preparations and serial histologic sections we demonstrate: 1) localized paravertebral longitudinal cartilage/bone accumulations (PVLC/BAs) invariably associated with branched, fused and asymmetrically spaced ribs that emanate from it laterally; 2) abnormal rib formation immediately adjacent to abnormal vertebral body and intervertebral disc formation in asymmetric right/left fashion; and 3) patterns of rib deformation that differ in each mouse. Normal BALB/c embryo and age-matched non-affected pu/+ mice assessments allow for pu/pu comparisons. The Dll3 Notch family gene is involved in normal somitogenesis via the segmentation clock mechanism. Although pathogenesis of rib deformation is initially triggered by the Dll3 gene mutation, these findings of abnormal asymmetric costo-vertebral region structure imply that differing patterns cannot be attributed to this single gene mutation alone. All findings implicate a dual mechanism of malformation: the Dll3 gene mutation leading to subtle timing differences in traveling oscillation waves of the segmentation clock and further subsequent misdirection of tissue formation by altered chemical reaction-diffusion and epigenetic landscape responses. PVLC/BAs appear as primary supramolecular structures underlying severe rib malformation associated both with time-sensitive segmentation clock mutations and subsequent reactions.

    Abstract Food foraging is essential for the fitness of animals. Previous studies have suggested that optimal foraging strategies involve a cost-benefit analysis comparing reward versus effort to guide action choices. Little is known how prior experience with different actions to obtain rewards may affect subsequent foraging choices. Here, we report a sunflower seed foraging test to investigate how effort and prior actions influence decision-making in laboratory mice. Sunflower seeds are a natural food favourite for mice, and mice spend effort to peel the hard shells to obtain the seeds. In our test, peeled and unpeeled sunflower seeds were placed at different ends of a Y-maze. Mice were free to explore the maze and make foraging decisions. Naïve mice were more likely to choose peeled seeds requiring low effort versus unpeeled seeds requiring high effort. Furthermore, mice with prior seed peeling experience significantly reduced preference for peeled seeds during the subsequent Y-maze foraging test, compared with mice pre-exposed to peeled seeds only. This experience-dependent shift in foraging choice was associated with reduced seed peeling time and improved motor skills with practice, and predictable on a trial-by-trial basis by a probabilistic decision-making model with the amount of peeled and unpeeled seeds consumed as inputs. Together, these results suggest that laboratory mice make rational foraging choices based on effort estimation and moreover, prior actions to obtain reward alter effort estimation and decision-making through motor skill learning. This naturalist behavioural task may be applied to dissect neural mechanisms in adaptive decision-making during foraging.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Both adults and children are frequently affected by symptoms of itchy urticarial lesions that cause considerable distress and impact nearly all their daily activities. A comprehensive history is critical to identify the etiology in patients who have chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) (those with symptoms for > 6 weeks) and is more important than extensive laboratory serum tests. Unfortunately, most of the current treatment guidelines have been based on data from adult studies since there is rare data on children. These treatment algorithms have been subsequently used to extrapolate treatments for children.
    Recent findings: Current treatment regiments do not achieve complete success in all patients, neither adults nor children. As the pathophysiology of chronic urticaria slowly becomes defined, novel therapies are being tested which target these individual molecular pathways to treat those that continue to experience symptoms. Future studies are required to establish the natural history, risks/benefits and efficacy of current medications, and biologics used to treat CSU in children.

    Abstract Objectives: Mindful Awareness and Resilience Skills for Adolescents (MARS-A) is a mindfulness-based intervention adapted for the adolescent population. While previous studies have explored the benefits of MARS-A in various single-diagnosis populations, the aim of this study was to assess MARS-A for a heterogenous clinical adolescent population with mental health and/or chronic diagnoses, focusing on the underlying suffering present in all these conditions rather than its effects on a single diagnosis itself.
    Methods: Qualitative data was collected through interviews to understand post-intervention participant perspectives and experiences. Quantitative data was collected through measures to investigate preliminary secondary outcomes.
    Results: After participating in MARS-A, participants reported qualitative benefits in enhanced well-being, including coping with difficult emotions and managing sleep and/or pain. Quantitative results showed a reduction in functional disability, psychological distress, perceived stress, and depressive symptoms; increase in positive affect; and benefit in coping with pain and chronic conditions.
    Conclusions: MARS-A shows great potential in a heterogeneous clinical adolescent population.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate how sociodemographic and medical care access variables are associated with influenza vaccine uptake among pregnant women in the USA.
    Methods: This is an observational study using 2015-2019 data from the US Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Pregnant women aged 18-49 years were included. Weighted χ
    Results: A total of 9149 pregnant women were included, of whom 39.9% received the influenza vaccine. Age, income, education and race/ethnicity were significantly associated with influenza vaccination. The following medical access factors were associated with a higher likelihood of receiving the influenza vaccine: having insurance (odds ratio [OR] 1.43, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-1.97), having had a checkup in the past year (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.40-2.03), and having a primary care provider (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.18-1.78). In subgroup analysis by race/ethnicity, non-Hispanic black women had the least difference in influenza vaccine uptake between those with medical care access and those without.
    Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the influenza vaccine uptake level was far from optimal among pregnant women. Influenza vaccine uptake was associated with social demographics and medical care access among pregnant women.
