    Abstract Hydroquinone meroterpenoids, especially those derived from marine sponges, display a wide range of biological activities. However, use of these compounds is limited by their inaccessibility; there is no sustainable supply of these compounds. Furthermore, our knowledge of their metabolic origin remains completely unstudied. In this review, an in depth structural analysis of sponge merotriterpenoids, including the adociasulfate family of kinesin motor protein inhibitors, provides insight into their biosynthesis. Several key structural features provide clues to the relationships between compounds. All adociasulfates appear to be derived from only four different hydroquinone hexaprenyl diphosphate precursors, each varying in the number and position of epoxidations. Proton-initiated cyclization of these precursors can lead to all carbon skeletons observed amongst sponge merotriterpenoids. Consideration of the enzymes involved in the proposed biosynthetic route suggests a bacterial source, and a hypothetical gene cluster was constructed that may facilitate discovery of the authentic pathway from the sponge metagenome. A similar rationale can be extended to other sponge meroterpenoids, for which no biosynthetic pathways have yet been identified.

    Abstract Individuals with serious mental illnesses and poorly managed medical conditions known as serious medical-psychiatric illnesses (SMPIs) are vulnerable to disruptions in care, resulting in poor outcomes. Intensive integrated care management approaches are indicated when these individuals are hospitalized on medical-surgical inpatient units in order to ensure continuity of medical and psychiatric services. This column describes a manualized intervention for hospitalized individuals with SMPIs that was developed in a National Institute of Mental Health ALACRITY research center. The approach uses a critical time intervention model incorporating motivational interviewing and shared decision making to maximize engagement and continuity of care for individuals with SMPIs.

    Abstract Pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) are insects containing genes of bacterial origin with putative functions in peptidoglycan (PGN) metabolism. Of these, rlpA1-5, amiD, and ldcA are highly expressed in bacteriocytes, specialized aphid cells that harbor the obligate bacterial symbiont Buchnera aphidicola, required for amino acid supplementation of the host's nutrient-poor diet. Despite genome reduction associated with endosymbiosis, pea aphid Buchnera retains genes for the synthesis of PGN while Buchnera of many other aphid species partially or completely lack these genes. To explore the evolution of aphid horizontally-transferred genes (HTGs) and to elucidate how host and symbiont genes contribute to PGN production, we sequenced genomes from four deeply branching lineages, such that paired aphid and Buchnera genomes are now available for 17 species representing eight subfamilies. We identified all host and symbiont genes putatively involved in PGN metabolism. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that each HTG family was present in the aphid shared ancestor, but that each underwent a unique pattern of gene loss or duplication in descendant lineages. While four aphid rlpA gene subfamilies show no relation to symbiont PGN gene repertoire, the loss of aphid amiD and ldcA HTGs coincides with the loss of symbiont PGN metabolism genes. In particular, the coincident loss of host amiD and symbiont murCEF in tribe Aphidini, in contrast to tribe Macrosiphini, suggests either 1) functional linkage between these host and symbiont genes, or 2) Aphidini has lost functional PGN synthesis and other retained PGN pathway genes are non-functional. To test these hypotheses experimentally, we used cell-wall labeling methods involving a d-alanine probe and found that both Macrosiphini and Aphidini retain Buchnera PGN synthesis. Our results imply that compensatory adaptations can preserve PGN synthesis despite the loss of some genes considered essential for this pathway, highlighting the importance of the cell wall in these symbioses.

    Abstract New York State was the epicenter for COVID-19 in Spring 2020 when little was known about the pandemic. Dire circumstances necessitated New York State's (NYS) public mental health system to rapidly pivot, adapt, and innovate its policies and procedures to ensure continuous high-level care to individuals with serious mental illness (SMI), a population especially vulnerable to both the physical and psychosocial sequelae of COVID-19. NYS rapidly adopted emergency measures to support community providers, expanded the capacity of its State-Operated facilities, created policies to promote improved infection control access, collaborated to enhance the public-private continuum of service to support people with SMI, and broadened the use of new technologies to ensure continued engagement of care.

    Abstract Objectives: The current study investigated mental health utilization review (UR) clinical service authorization requests, denials, and reasons for denial in a statewide Medicaid managed care organization (MMCO) program.
    Study design: Retrospective analysis of utilization review data reported by MMCOs in New York State.
    Methods: Data from the utilization review practices of 15 MMCOs were collected and analyzed for calendar years 2017 and 2018. The data reported are specific to mental health services and include the number of authorization requests, number of clinical denials, and the reasons specified for each denial. Analyses were undertaken to determine the UR denial rates and most common reasons for denials.
    Results: A total of 264,901 requests for inpatient mental health service authorizations and 53,687 requests for outpatient mental health service authorizations were made in 2017 and 2018. Of these, 1.5% of inpatient authorization requests and 0.4% of outpatient authorization requests were denied for reasons related to medical necessity. The most common reason for inpatient mental health service denials was that the patient no longer met the standard for the requested level of care.
    Conclusions: Low UR denial rates warrant further examination of the relationship between UR and both quality of care and patient outcomes in mental health care. With the substantial resources spent on UR, findings could point to areas of potential reforms to the system that may minimize these costs and improve care for patients with mental illness.
