Abstract: The maize weevil Sitophilus zeamais (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an important pest of stored grains, predominantly maize (Zea mays L.), wheat (Triticum L. spp.), rice (Oryza L. spp.), and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) (all Poaceae) ...

Abstract	The maize weevil Sitophilus zeamais (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an important pest of stored grains, predominantly maize (Zea mays L.), wheat (Triticum L. spp.), rice (Oryza L. spp.), and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) (all Poaceae). Weevil infestations occur in the field and weevils are carried to the storage facility after harvest. Infestation also occurs in the grain storage facility. There is no effective field or storage trapping system for control. They are commonly parasitized by Pteromalidae Dalman (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) spp. parasitoids in the Tropics; however, there is no biocontrol use of these Hymenoptera. Therefore, pesticide application and the development of resistant grain are the current control strategies; although, studies have indicated that odors associated with the grain upon which the weevils feed, mate, and oviposit are attractive to the weevil. Host plant produced volatiles and their associations with the maize weevil have not been investigated fully. To better understand the weevil's attraction to crop plants, a study was initiated to investigate the weevil's preference for immature host plants. Weevils that had been reared on 4 types of grain for several generations were presented immature plants of all 4 types of grains in choice tests to determine if they prefer grains of the host plant on which they had been reared. This research demonstrated that immature rice plants have the greatest attraction, and that previous feeding did not influence the weevil's host plant attraction. The isolation of key rice plant semiochemicals will be the focus in the development of an attractant for S. zeamais and may also prove effective for the control of Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

Abstract	Las problemáticas ambientales asociadas al incremento de metales pesados como el plomo han promovido la búsqueda de bioindicadores eficientes; Vicia faba es uno de los más utilizados, sin embargo, su aprovechamiento a nivel mundial ha provocado el uso indistinto de sus variedades silvestres y domesticadas, sin considerar las implicaciones del proceso de domesticación. Por tal motivo, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo evaluar el efecto genotóxico y citotóxico del plomo en células meristemáticas de raíz de semillas de V. faba silvestre y de la variedad Major (domesticada) a través de la presencia de micronúcleos y la determinación del índice mitótico, con la finalidad de conocer sus respuestas ante este metal y su relación con la domesticación, así como sugerir el uso de la variedad más sensible como bioindicador. Para ello, los meristemos radiculares se sometieron a tratamientos con 0, 0.005, 0.01 y 0.02 g L-1 de acetato de plomo y se realizaron tinciones con aceto-orceína; se obtuvo la frecuencia de micronúcleos y el índice mitótico por cada 1000 células observadas. Los resultados obtenidos indican que el acetato de plomo tiene un efecto genotóxico y citotóxico diferencial entre ambas variedades, siendo V. faba var. Major la que presenta una alta sensibilidad al metal pesado, debido a una pérdida en la resistencia al estrés, por lo que se sugiere su uso como bioindicador; mientras que en las semillas silvestres mostraron mayor tolerancia al tener un bajo grado de domesticación.

Abstract	Introduction: Although both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 ARDS can be accompanied by significantly increased levels of circulating cytokines, the former significantly differs from the latter by its higher vasculopathy, characterized by increased oxidative stress and coagulopathy in lung capillaries. This points towards the existence of SARS-CoV2-specific factors and mechanisms that can sensitize the endothelium towards becoming dysfunctional. Although the virus is rarely detected within endothelial cells or in the circulation, the S1 subunit of its spike protein, which contains the receptor binding domain (RBD) for human ACE2 (hACE2), can be detected in plasma from COVID-19 patients and its levels correlate with disease severity. It remains obscure how the SARS-CoV2 RBD exerts its deleterious actions in lung endothelium and whether there are mechanisms to mitigate this. Methods: In this study, we use a combination of Results: We show that SARS-CoV2 RBD impairs endothelial ENaC activity, reduces surface hACE2 expression and increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) and tissue factor (TF) generation in monolayers of HL-MVEC, as such promoting barrier dysfunction and coagulopathy. The TNF-derived TIP peptide (a.k.a. solnatide, AP301) -which directly activates ENaC upon binding to its a subunit- can override RBD-induced impairment of ENaC function and hACE2 expression, mitigates ROS and TF generation and restores barrier function in HL-MVEC monolayers. In correlation with the increased mortality observed in COVID-19 patients co-infected with S. pneumoniae, compared to subjects solely infected with SARS-CoV2, we observe that prior intraperitoneal RBD treatment in transgenic mice globally expressing hACE2 significantly increases fibrin deposition and capillary leak upon intratracheal instillation of S. pneumoniae and that this is mitigated by TIP peptide treatment.

Abstract	Purpose: Mutations in the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral (KRAS) oncogene constitute a significant driver of lung adenocarcinoma, present in 10-40% of patients, which exhibit heterogeneous clinical outcomes, mainly driven by concurrent genetic alterations. However, characterization of KRAS mutational subtypes and their impact on clinical outcomes in Latin America is limited. Methods: A cohort study was conducted at the National Cancer Institute (INCan) of Mexico. Individuals with advance-staged of adenocarcinoma and KRAS mutations, detected by next-generation sequencing, having undergone at least one line of therapy were included for analysis. Clinical and pathological characteristics were retrieved from institutional database from June 2014 to March 2023. Results: KRAS was identified in fifty-four (15.6%) of 346 patients, among which 50 cases were included for analysis. KRAS Conclusions: To our knowledge, this study represents the first effort to comprehensively characterize the molecular heterogeneity of KRAS-mutant NSCLC in Latin American patients. Our data reinforce the current view that KRAS-mutated NSCLC is not a single oncogene-driven disease and emphasizes the prognostic impact of diverse molecular profiles in this genomically defined subset of NSCLC. Further validation is warranted in larger multicenter Latin American cohorts to confirm our findings.

Abstract	Endothelial dysfunction is a key event in the development of vascular disease, and it precedes clinically obvious vascular pathology. Abnormal activation of the RhoA/Rho kinase (ROCK) pathway has been found to elevate vascular tone through unbalancing the production of vasodilating and vasoconstricting substances. Inhibition of the RhoA/ROCK pathway can prevent endothelial dysfunction in a variety of pathological conditions. This review, based on recent molecular, cellular, and animal studies, focuses on the current understanding of the ROCK pathway and its roles in endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract	Objective: A disintegrin and metalloproteinase ADAM17 (tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF]-converting enzyme) regulates soluble TNF levels. We tested the hypothesis that aging-induced activation in adipose tissue (AT)-expressed ADAM17 contributes to the development of remote coronary microvascular dysfunction in obesity. Approach and results: Coronary arterioles (CAs, ≈90 µm) from right atrial appendages and mediastinal AT were examined in patients (aged: 69±11 years, BMI: 30.2±5.6 kg/m Conclusions: The present study indicates that aging and obesity cooperatively reduce caveolin-1 expression and increase vascular endothelial ADAM17 activity and soluble TNF release in AT, which may contribute to the development of remote coronary microvascular dysfunction in older obese patients.
