    Abstract Cortisol is the predominant corticosteroid in ray-finned fish since it does not possess the aldosterone synthase necessary to produce specific mineralocorticoids. Cortisol is traditionally believed to function as a fish mineralocorticoid. However, the effects of cortisol are mediated through corticosteroid receptors in other vertebrates, and there is an ongoing debate about whether cortisol acts through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) or the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in teleosts. To investigate this issue, we conducted a study using euryhaline Mozambique tilapia ( Oreochromis mossambicus ) as the experimental species. The experiment was designed to investigate the effect of cortisol on ionocyte development at both the cellular and gene expression levels in tilapia. We administered exogenous cortisol and receptor antagonists, used immunohistochemistry to quantify ionocyte numbers, and performed real-time PCR to assess the expression of the differentiation factor tumor protein 63 (P63) mRNA, an epidermal stem cell marker. We observed that cortisol increased the number of Na + -K + -ATPase (NKA)-immunoactive ionocytes (increased by 1.6-fold) and promoted the gene expression of P63 mRNA (increased by 1.4-fold). Furthermore, we found that the addition of the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist Spironolactone inhibited the increase in the number of ionocytes (decreased to the level of the control group) and suppressed the gene expression of P63 (similarly decreased to the level of the control group). We also provided evidence for gr , mr , and p63 localization in epidermal cells. At the transcript level, mr mRNA is ubiquitously expressed in gill sections and present in epidermal stem cells (cells labeled with p63 ), supporting the antagonism and functional assay results in larvae. Our results confirmed that cortisol stimulates ionocyte differentiation in tilapia through the MR, rather than the GR. Therefore, we provide a new direction for investigating the dual action of osmotic regulation and skin/gill ...

    Abstract Background: The Caregiver-Teacher Report Form of the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 1½-5 (C-TRF) is a widely used checklist to identify emotional and behavioral problems in preschoolers. However, the 100-item C-TRF restricts its utility.
    Aims: This study aimed to develop a machine learning-based short-form of the C-TRF (C-TRF-ML).
    Methods and procedures: Three steps were executed. First, we split the data into three datasets in a ratio of 3:1:1 for training, validation, and cross-validation, respectively. Second, we selected a shortened item set and trained a scoring algorithm using joint learning for classification and regression using the training dataset. Then, we evaluated the similarity of scores between the C-TRF-ML and the C-TRF by r-squared and weighted kappa values using the validation dataset. Third, we cross-validated the C-TRF-ML by calculating the r-squared and weighted kappa values using the cross-validation dataset.
    Outcomes and results: Data of 363 children were analyzed. Thirty-six items of the C-TRF were retained. The r-squared values of C-TRF-ML scores were 0.86-0.96 in the cross-validation dataset. Weighted kappa values of the syndrome/problem grading were 0.72-0.94 in the cross-validation dataset.
    Conclusions and implications: The C-TRF-ML had about 60 % fewer items than the C-TRF but yielded comparable scores with the C-TRF.

    Abstract One-class classification aims to learn one-class models from only in-class training samples. Because of lacking out-of-class samples during training, most conventional deep learning based methods suffer from the feature collapse problem. In contrast, contrastive learning based methods can learn features from only in-class samples but are hard to be end-to-end trained with one-class models. To address the aforementioned problems, we propose alternating direction method of multipliers based sparse representation network (ADMM-SRNet). ADMM-SRNet contains the heterogeneous contrastive feature (HCF) network and the sparse dictionary (SD) network. The HCF network learns in-class heterogeneous contrastive features by using contrastive learning with heterogeneous augmentations. Then, the SD network models the distributions of the in-class training samples by using dictionaries computed based on ADMM. By coupling the HCF network, SD network and the proposed loss functions, our method can effectively learn discriminative features and one-class models of the in-class training samples in an end-to-end trainable manner. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100 and ImageNet-30 datasets under one-class classification settings.

    Abstract Lay abstract: Theory of mind is an ability to infer others' mental states, which is a foundation for generating appropriate social responses. Theory of mind can be conceptually divided into two related but distinguishable constructs: explicit theory of mind (conceptual knowledge/information about others' mental states) and applied theory of mind (the ability to use theory of mind skills in real-life contexts). Although these two theory of mind scores can be described by the percentages of children in the early, basic, and advanced developmental stages, the resulting information may not be sufficient to determine the corresponding relationships between these two theory of mind constructs or identify children with mismatched theory of mind abilities (e.g. children who have difficulty in effectively applying their theory of mind knowledge in real-life contexts). To resolve these limitations, methods for simultaneously interpreting the relationships between the two theory of mind scores are proposed. Based on the findings, each applied theory of mind score can reflect multiple scores of explicit theory of mind. In particular, the results do not take measurement error into consideration, which would make them more ambiguous. Therefore, the scores of applied theory of mind should be interpreted carefully, given that children who have the same applied theory of mind score may actually have high or low explicit theory of mind. Regarding the method for joint interpretation, cutoff scores were selected to identify children who have mismatched theory of mind abilities (high explicit theory of mind with low applied theory of mind or low explicit theory of mind with high applied theory of mind) and determine the priority for interventions.

    Abstract The Childhood Autism Rating Scale™, Second Edition (CARS™-2) and Social Responsiveness Scale™, Second Edition (SRS™-2) are two measures for identifying autism symptoms. The CARS™-2 has two versions: Standard (CARS-ST) and High-Functioning (CARS-HF). To better understand their properties, this study aimed to investigate: (1) the associations among the CARS-ST, CARS-HF and the SRS™-2, and (2) the severity consistency between the CARS-ST and the CARS-HF. A sample of 125 children with autism spectrum disorder was recruited (mean age: 80.98 months, SD = 16.08). Based on Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI), children were divided into two groups: low severity level of autism spectrum disorder (LSL-ASD: VCI ≥ 80) and high severity level of autism spectrum disorder (HSL-ASD: VCI < 80). All children were evaluated with the CARS-ST and the SRS™-2, and the HF group, with the CARS-HF as well. In the LSL group, the CARS-ST and the CARS-HF had high correlation (r = 0.852, p < .001). Both versions had small to moderate correlations with the SRS™-2 (r = 0.130-0.491). In the HSL group, no significant correlations were found between the CARS-ST and SRS™-2 (p > .05). The CARS-HF and the CARS-ST had low severity consistency (Kappa = 0.376, p < .01). The CARS-ST and the CARS-HF had high correlations but low severity consistency. Different correlation patterns were found between the CARS™-2 and the SRS™-2 in the LSL and HSL groups. The results should help clinicians better understand the properties of the measures and choose appropriate measures when assessing autism symptoms.

    Abstract In this study, we investigated the effects of cortisol on the regulation of the glycogen metabolism biomarkers glycogen synthase (GS) and glycogen phosphorylase (GP) in the glycogen-rich cells of the gills of tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). In the gills of tilapia, GP, GS, and glycogen were immunocytochemically colocalized in a specific group of glycogen-rich cells adjacent to the gills’ main ionocytes and mitochondria-rich cells. Cortisol plays a vital role in the regulation of physiological functions in animals, including energy metabolism, respiration, immune response, and ion regulation. However, no studies have elucidated the mechanisms regulating cortisol and glycogen-rich cells in the gills. Therefore, we treated tilapia larvae with exogenous cortisol and a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist to investigate the regulatory mechanisms between cortisol and glycogen-rich cells in the gills. Our results showed that cortisol promoted the expression of gill glycogen phosphorylase isoform (GPGG) mRNA via GR, whereas the GS gene expression remained unaffected. We also found that GR mRNA was colocalized with some glycogen-rich cells in the gills, further confirming our hypothesis that cortisol directly acts on glycogen-rich cells in the gills of tilapia and regulates glycogen metabolism by promoting GPGG mRNA expression.
