    Abstract Abstract: Gun violence is an epidemic throughout the United States and is increasing around the world-it is a public health crisis. The impact of gun violence is not limited to the victims (our patients); it also extends to the physicians and caregivers who are taking care of these patients every day. Even more broadly, gun violence affects those living and going to work in potentially dangerous environments. The "vicarious trauma" that is experienced in these situations can have long-term effects on physicians, nurses, and communities. Importantly, socioeconomic disparities and community deprivation strongly correlate with gun violence. Systemic factors that are deeply ingrained in our society can increase concerns for these underrepresented patient populations and cause increased stressors with substantial health consequences, including delayed fracture-healing and poorer overall health outcomes. It is incumbent on us as physicians to take an active role in speaking up for our patients. The importance of advocacy efforts to change policy (not politics) and continue to push for improvement in the increasingly challenging environments in which patients and physicians find themselves cannot be overstated. Multiple national organizations, including many orthopaedic and general surgery associations, have made statements advocating for change. The American College of Surgeons, in collaboration with many other medical organizations, has supported background checks, registration, licensure, firearm education and training, safe storage practices, red flag laws, addressing mental health issues, and more research to better inform an approach going forward and to address the root causes of violence. We encourage the orthopaedic surgery community to stand together to protect each other and our patients, both physically and mentally, with agreement on these principles.

    Abstract The role of the autoimmune regulator (Aire) in central immune tolerance and thymic self-representation was first described more than 20 years ago, but fascinating new insights into its biology continue to emerge, particularly in the era of advanced single-cell genomics. We briefly describe the role of human genetics in the discovery of Aire, as well as insights into its function gained from genotype-phenotype correlations and the spectrum of Aire-associated autoimmunity-including insights from patients with Aire mutations with broad and diverse implications for human health. We then highlight emerging trends in Aire biology, focusing on three topic areas. First, we discuss medullary thymic epithelial diversity and the role of Aire in thymic epithelial development. Second, we highlight recent developments regarding the molecular mechanisms of Aire and its binding partners. Finally, we describe the rapidly evolving biology of the identity and function of extrathymic Aire-expressing cells (eTACs), and a novel eTAC subset called Janus cells, as well as their potential roles in immune homeostasis.

    Abstract: ... 2018 and 2019, multiple Potamotrygon rays (P castexi, n = 1; P leopoldi, 1; P motoro, 6) underwent left ...

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the surgical technique and subsequent clinical observations (reproductive and ultrasound findings) of left unilateral ovariectomy in 3 species of Potamotrygon rays-Potamotrygon castexi, Potamotrygon leopoldi, and Potamotrygon motoro-for reproductive management.
    Animals: Between 2018 and 2019, multiple Potamotrygon rays (P castexi, n = 1; P leopoldi, 1; P motoro, 6) underwent left ovariectomies to evaluate this technique for reproductive management.
    Procedures: At time of surgery, patient age ranged from juvenile to adult. Rays were anesthetized with MS222 buffered with sodium bicarbonate, and a left craniodorsal surgical approach was made to isolate and excise the left ovary. All rays had uneventful recoveries. Eight unilateral ovariectomized females and 6 males were combined in a mixed-species freshwater touch pool of Potamotrygon rays and teleost species.
    Results: In December 2020, 3 live and 1 premature autolyzed pup were noted in the habitat. The following day, the adult females were examined via ultrasound and separated from the males. Four dams were identified that produced 8 viable offspring and 4 premature abortions. A large right ovary was observed in all females, with no evidence of left ovarian tissue present via ultrasound.
    Clinical relevance: Previous histologic evaluation of freshwater ray ovarian tissue suggests both ovaries may be functionally active yet maintain left dominance like some other elasmobranch species. This manuscript provides proof the right ovary alone can produce live offspring. Furthermore, the enlarged right ovary observed in these females suggests that removal of the left ovary may result in compensatory enlargement of the right ovary.

    Abstract We have integrated Oligocene to lower upper Miocene planktonic foraminifer biostratigraphy with benthic foraminifer (Cibicidoides spp.) stable isotope records for two sites drilled on opposite sides of the Sierra Leone Rise in the eastern equatorial Atlantic Ocean. Deep Sea Drilling Project Site 366 (2853 m present water depth; 2200-2800 m paleodepth) recovered an Oligocene to upper Miocene record with a minor unconformity in the "middle" Oligocene and a condensed middle Miocene section. Ocean Drilling Program Site 667 (3529 m present depth; 3000-3500 m paleodepth) recovered an apparently continuous "middle" Oligocene to lower middle Miocene record and a similar condensed middle Miocene section. The Oligocene to lower Miocene sections were deposited at similar sedimentation rates (~11-16 m/m.y.). Stable isotope stratigraphy proved to be useful in establishing intra- and interbasinal correlations. In addition to the well-known earliest Oligocene and middle Miocene S180 increases, a distinct d18O increase occurred near the Oligocene/Miocene boundary. Carbon isotope variations provide similar potential for improving correlations; for example, a d13C increase occurred near the Oligocene/Miocene boundary in concert with increased d18O values. There was little d13C difference between the western Atlantic and eastern Atlantic basins during the late Oligocene and most of the middle Miocene; in contrast, eastern basin d13C values were slightly lower than those in the western basins during the earliest Oligocene (about 35-33 Ma) and early Miocene (about 22-18 Ma).

    Abstract Starch is one of the most abundant renewable biopolymers in nature and is the main constituent in the human diet and a raw material for the food industry. Native starches are limited in most industrial applications and often tailored by structural modification to enhance desirable attributes, minimize undesirable attributes, or create new attributes. Enzymatic approaches for structuring starch have become of interest to the food industry precisely because the reactions minimize the formation of undesirable by-products and coproducts and are therefore considered environmentally friendly methods for producing clean-label starches with better behavioral characteristics. Starches with improved functionalities for various applications are produced via enzyme hydrolysis and transfer reactions. Use of novel, multifunctional, starch-active enzymes to alter the structures of amylose and/or amylopectin molecules, and thus alter the starch's physiochemical attributes in a predictable and controllable manner, has been explored. This review provides state-of-the-art information on exploiting glycosyl transferases and glycosyl hydrolases for structuring starch to improve its functionalities. The characteristics of starch-active enzymes (including branching enzymes, amylomaltases, GH70 α-transglycosylases, amylosucrases, maltogenic amylases, cyclomaltodextrinases, neopullulanases, and maltooligosaccharide-forming amylases), structure-functionality-driven processing strategies, novel conversion products, and potential industrial applications are discussed.

    Abstract Research was conducted to test the hypothesis that the surface charge on maize starch granules cross-linked with POCl₃ affects how hydrocolloids (HC) interact with them. Normal (NMS) and waxy maize (WMS) starches were cross-linked with epichlorohydrin (ECH) to 2 extents. The products were heated in water or one of 9 HC solutions, and the pasting and paste properties and the rheological attributes of the produced gels were determined and compared to those of POCl₃ cross-linked NMS and WMS. Results confirm the hypothesis that the ability of HC to alter early events in the pasting process is an important factor in their effects in altering the properties of starch pastes, as all HC used appeared to have an effect on granule swelling of heated slurries of both native and cross-linked starches. Differences in the effect produced by the different HC on the pasting and paste properties of POCl₃ and ECH cross-linked products of both NMS and WMS appeared primarily to be in degree and unrelated to whether the cross-linked starch had a negative surface charge. Two mechanisms are proposed for the influence of HC on granule swelling: 1) strengthening of granules via interactions with HC molecules, and 2) inhibition of water penetration and, therefore, granule swelling by plugging of granule micro- and mesopores by those hydrated HC molecules that are too large to enter them. Rheological properties of the produced gels determined before and after cold storage also had both similarities and differences in effects produced by addition of a HC.
