    Abstract We describe the design, organic synthesis, and characterization, including X-ray crystallography, of a series of novel analogues of the clinically used antitumor agent temozolomide, together with their in vitro biological evaluation. The work has resulted in the discovery of a new series of anticancer imidazotetrazines that offer the potential to overcome the resistance mounted by tumors against temozolomide. The rationally designed compounds that incorporate a propargyl alkylating moiety and a thiazole ring as isosteric replacement for a carboxamide, are readily synthesized (gram-scale), exhibit defined solid-state structures, and enhanced growth-inhibitory activity against human tumor cell lines, including MGMT-expressing and MMR-deficient lines, molecular features that confer tumor resistance. The cell proliferation data were confirmed by clonogenic cell survival assays, and DNA flow cytometry analysis was undertaken to determine the effects of new analogues on cell cycle progression.

    Importance: The family of botulinum neurotoxins comprises the most potent toxins known to humankind. New members of this family of protein toxins as well as more distantly related homologs are being identified. The discovery of BoNT/X via bioinformatic screen in 2017 as a putative new BoNT serotype raised concern about its potential as a pathogenic agent with no available countermeasures. This study for the first time assessed both recombinantly produced and native purified BoNT/X for its vertebrate neurotoxicity.

    Abstract We evaluated miRNA and mRNA expression differences in head tissues between avid-biting vs. reluctant-biting Aedes albopictus (Skuse) females from a single population over a 20-min timescale. We found no differences in miRNA expression between avid vs. reluctant biters, indicating that translational modulation of blood-feeding behavior occurs on a longer timescale than mRNA transcription. In contrast, we detected 19 differentially expressed mRNAs. Of the 19 differentially expressed genes at the mRNA level between avid-biting vs. reluctant-biting A. albopictus, 9 are implicated in olfaction, consistent with the well-documented role of olfaction in mosquito host-seeking. Additionally, several of the genes that we identified as differentially expressed in association with phenotypic variation in biting behavior share similar functions with or are inferred orthologues of, genes associated with evolutionary variation in biting behaviors of Wyeomyia smithii (Coq.) and Culex pipiens (Lin.). A future goal is to determine whether these genes are involved in the evolutionary transition from a biting to a non-biting life history.

    Abstract Photofermentative hydrogen production has gained increasing attention as a source of green energy. To make such photofermentation processes economically competitive, operating costs need to be reduced, possibly through outdoor operation. Because photofermentation processes are light dependent, the emission spectrum and intensity of light both have a significant influence on the hydrogen production and merit investigation. This study investigates the effect of light sources on the hydrogen production and growth of Rhodopseudomonas palustris, comparing the organism's productivity under longer-wavelength light and light mimicking sunlight. Hydrogen production is enhanced under longer-wavelength light, producing 26.8% (± 7.3%) more hydrogen as compared to under light mimicking that of sunlight; however, R. palustris is still able to produce a considerable volume of hydrogen under light with a spectrum mimicking that of sunlight, providing a promising avenue for future research.

    Abstract Childhood mental health problems are common, impairing, and can become chronic if left untreated. Children are not reliable reporters of their emotional and behavioral health, and caregivers often unintentionally under- or over-report child symptoms, making assessment challenging. Objective physiological and behavioral measures of emotional and behavioral health are emerging. However, these methods typically require specialized equipment and expertise in data and sensor engineering to administer and analyze. To address this challenge, we have developed the ChAMP (Childhood Assessment and Management of digital Phenotypes) System, which includes a mobile application for collecting movement and audio data during a battery of mood induction tasks and an open-source platform for extracting digital biomarkers. As proof of principle, we present ChAMP System data from 101 children 4-8 years old, with and without diagnosed mental health disorders. Machine learning models trained on these data detect the presence of specific disorders with 70-73% balanced accuracy, with similar results to clinical thresholds on established parent-report measures (63-82% balanced accuracy). Features favored in model architectures are described using Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP). Canonical Correlation Analysis reveals moderate to strong associations between predictors of each disorder and associated symptom severity (r = .51-.83). The open-source ChAMP System provides clinically-relevant digital biomarkers that may later complement parent-report measures of emotional and behavioral health for detecting kids with underlying mental health conditions and lowers the barrier to entry for researchers interested in exploring digital phenotyping of childhood mental health.

    Abstract Seventy Ménière's disease (MD) patients with spontaneous vertigo (100%), unilateral aural fullness (57.1%), tinnitus (78.6%), and subjective hearing loss (75.7%) self-recorded nystagmus during their episodes of vertigo using portable video oculography goggles. All demonstrated ictal spontaneous nystagmus, horizontal in 94.3% (n = 66) and vertical in 5.7% (n = 4), with a mean slow-phase velocity (SPV) of 42.8 ± 31.1°/s (range 5.3-160.1). Direction reversal of spontaneous horizontal nystagmus was captured in 58.6%, within the same episode in 34.3%, and over different days in 24.3%. In 18.6%, we observed ipsiversive then contraversive nystagmus, and in 12.9% contraversive to ipsiversive direction reversal. Ictal nystagmus SPV (42.8 ± 31.1°/s) was significantly faster than interictal (1.4 ± 3.1°/s, p < 0.001, CI 34.277-48.776). Compared to age-matched healthy controls, interictal video head impulse test gains in MD ears were significantly lower, cumulative and first saccade (S1) amplitudes were significantly larger, and S1 peak velocities were significantly faster (p = 0.038/0.019/0.008/ < 0.001, CI 0.002-0.071/0.130-1.444/0.138-0.909/14.614-41.506). Audiometry showed asymmetrically increased thresholds in 100% of MD ears (n = 70). Significant caloric, air-conducted (AC) cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (VEMP), and AC ocular VEMP asymmetries were found in 61.4, 37.9, and 44.4% of patients (MD ear reduced). Transtympanic electrocochleography tested in 36 ears (23 patients) showed 81.8% of MD ears had a positive result for hydrops (either a summating potential at 1/2 kHz < - 6 µV, or an SP/AP ratio > 40%). Using ictal nystagmus findings of SPV > 12°/s, and a caloric canal paresis > 25%, we correctly separated a diagnosis MD from Vestibular Migraine with a sensitivity and specificity of 95.7% and 85.1% (CI 0.89-0.97).
