    Abstract The current prevailing paradigm in the renin-angiotensin system dictates that most, if not all, biological, physiological, and pathological responses to its most potent peptide, angiotensin II (Ang II), are mediated by extracellular Ang II activating its cell surface receptors. Whether intracellular (or intracrine) Ang II and its receptors are involved remains incompletely understood. The present study tested the hypothesis that extracellular Ang II is taken up by the proximal tubules of the kidney by an AT

    Abstract The Fellegi-Sunter model is a latent class model widely used in probabilistic linkage to identify records that belong to the same entity. Record linkage practitioners typically employ all available matching fields in the model with the premise that more fields convey greater information about the true match status and hence result in improved match performance. In the context of model-based clustering, it is well known that such a premise is incorrect and the inclusion of noisy variables could compromise the clustering. Variable selection procedures have therefore been developed to remove noisy variables. Although these procedures have the potential to improve record matching, they cannot be applied directly due to the ubiquity of the missing data in record linkage applications. In this paper, we modify the stepwise variable selection procedure proposed by Fop, Smart, and Murphy and extend it to account for missing data common in record linkage. Through simulation studies, our proposed method is shown to select the correct set of matching fields across various settings, leading to better-performing algorithms. The improved match performance is also seen in a real-world application. We therefore recommend the use of our proposed selection procedure to identify informative matching fields for probabilistic record linkage algorithms.

    Abstract This chapter explores the existing structural and functional studies on the endo-lysosomal channel TRPML1 and its analogs TRPML2, TRPML3. These channels represent the mucolipin subfamily of the TRP channel superfamily comprising important roles in sensory physiology, ion homeostasis, and signal transduction. Since 2016, numerous structures have been determined for all three members using either cryo-EM or X-ray crystallography. These studies along with recent functional analysis have considerably strengthened our knowledge on TRPML channels and its related endo-lysosomal function. This chapter, together with relevant reports in other chapters from this handbook, provides an informative and detailed tool to study the endo-lysosomal cation channels.

    Abstract ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) utilizes energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to export cholesterol and phospholipids from macrophages. ABCA1 plays a central role in the biosynthesis of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which mediates reverse cholesterol transport and prevents detrimental lipid deposition. Mutations in ABCA1 cause Tangier disease characterized by a remarkable reduction in the amount of HDL in blood. Here we present cryo-electron microscopy structures of human ABCA1 in ATP-bound and nucleotide-free states. Structural comparison reveals that ATP molecules pull the nucleotide-binding domains together, inducing movements of transmembrane helices 1, 2, 7 and 8 through a series of salt-bridge interactions. Subsequently, extracellular domains (ECDs) undergo a rotation and introduce conformational changes in the ECD-transmembrane interface. In addition, while we observe a sterol-like molecule in ECDs, no such density was observed in the structure of an HDL-deficiency mutant ABCA1

    Abstract Background: Patient data is fragmented across multiple repositories, yielding suboptimal and costly care. Record linkage algorithms are widely accepted solutions for improving completeness of patient records. However, studies often fail to fully describe their linkage techniques. Further, while many frameworks evaluate record linkage methods, few focus on producing gold standard datasets. This highlights a need to assess these frameworks and their real-world performance.
    Objective: We use real-world datasets and expand upon previous frameworks to evaluate a consistent approach to the manual review of gold standard datasets and measure its impact on algorithm performance.
    Methods: We applied the framework, which includes elements for data description, reviewer training and adjudication, and software and reviewer descriptions, to four datasets. Record-pairs were formed and 15,000 records were randomly sampled from these pairs. After training, two reviewers determined match status for each record-pair. If reviewers disagreed, a third reviewer was used for final adjudication.
    Results: Between the four datasets, the percent discordant rate ranged from 1.8-13.6%. While reviewers' discordance rate typically ranged between 1% and 5%, one exhibited a 59% discordance rate, showing the importance of the third reviewer. The original analysis was compared to three sensitivity analyses. The original analysis most often exhibited the highest predictive values compared to the sensitivity analyses.
    Conclusion: Reviewers vary in their assessment of a gold standard, which can lead to variances in estimates for matching performance. Our analysis demonstrates how a multi-reviewer process can be applied to create gold standards, identify reviewer discrepancies, and evaluate algorithm performance.

    Abstract With high strength and good fatigue resistance, Al-Cu alloys such as AA2024 are widely used in the aerospace and automotive industries. However, the system's susceptibility to hot cracking and other solidification defects hinders its development in metal additive manufacturing (AM). A nano-treated AA2024 deposition, with the addition of TiC nanoparticles, is successfully additively manufactured without cracks. Microstructural analysis suggests nanoparticles not only mitigate the hot cracking sensitivity but also significantly refine and homogenize grains, resulting in an average size of 23.2 ± 0.4 μm. Microhardness profiles show consistent mechanical performance along the build direction, regardless of cyclic thermal exposure. Finally, excellent tensile strength and elongation up to 428 MPa and 7.4% were achieved after heat treatment. The combined results show a great promise of nano-treating in high-strength aluminum AM.

    Abstract Flexible piezoresistive sensors with a porous structure that are used in the field of speech recognition are seldom characterized by both high sensitivity and ease of preparation. In this study, a piezoresistive sensor with a porous structure that is both highly sensitive and can be prepared by using a simple method is proposed for speech recognition. The preparation process utilizes the interaction of bubbles generated by ethanol evaporation and active agents with polydimethylsiloxane to produce a porous flexible substrate. This preparation process requires neither templates nor harsh experimental conditions such as a low temperature and a low pressure. Furthermore, the prepared piezoresistive sensor has excellent properties, such as a high sensitivity (27.6 kPa

    Abstract Neutrophil recruitment from circulation to sites of inflammation is guided by multiple chemoattractant cues emanating from tissue cells, immune cells, and platelets. Here, we focus on the function of one G-protein coupled receptor, GPR35, in neutrophil recruitment. GPR35 has been challenging to study due the description of multiple ligands and G-protein couplings. Recently, we found that GPR35-expressing hematopoietic cells respond to the serotonin metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). We discuss distinct response profiles of GPR35 to 5-HIAA compared to other ligands. To place the functions of 5-HIAA in context, we summarize the actions of serotonin in vascular biology and leukocyte recruitment. Important sources of serotonin and 5-HIAA are platelets and mast cells. We discuss the dynamics of cell migration into inflamed tissues and how multiple platelet and mast cell-derived mediators, including 5-HIAA, cooperate to promote neutrophil recruitment. Additional actions of GPR35 in tissue physiology are reviewed. Finally, we discuss how clinically approved drugs that modulate serotonin uptake and metabolism may influence 5-HIAA-GPR35 function, and we speculate about broader influences of the GPR35 ligand-receptor system in immunity and disease.
