    Abstract A new subgenus and three new species of parasitic lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) in the Oxylipeurus-complex are described and illustrated. Forcipurellus new subgenus is part of the genus Reticulipeurus Kéler, 1958, and only includes species parasitic on partridges of the genus Arborophila Hodgson, 1837. The new species are: Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) diki new species ex Arborophila rubrirostris (Salvadori, 1879); Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) bracatus new species ex Arborophila atrogularis (Blyth, 1849); Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) longistylus new species ex Arborophila rufogularis guttata Delacour & Jabouille, 1928 and two other host subspecies. In addition, we redescribe the species Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) formosanus (Uchida, 1917) ex Arborophila crudigularis (Swinhoe, 1864) and Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) nitzschi Kéler, 1958 ex Arborophila torqueola torqueola (Valenciennes, 1825) and Arborophila torqueola millardi (Baker, 1921). Also, we briefly discuss four additional species that could not be described based on the specimens examined. A key to identify all species in the subgenus Forcipurellus is provided, as well as an emendation to include Forcipurellus in a previously published key to the Oxylipeurus-complex.

    Abstract Asphalt pavement, a major type of road surface, may contain hazardous elements depending on its specific composition. A growing concern has developed regarding the potential leaching of these hazardous constituents from asphalt pavements, particularly when incorporating waste materials and additives. This study investigates the presence of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in leachates from six commonly employed asphalt paving materials. A comprehensive laboratory leaching experiment was conducted on three key sample scales: asphalt binder, asphalt mortar, and asphalt mixture. The impact of the leachates was assessed by the heavy metal pollution index and the toxic equivalency factor based on the benzo[a]pyrene equivalent concentration. The results reveal that leaching tests at the binder and mortar scales provided fundamental insights into leaching characteristics within a relatively short timeframe, while the mixture-scale test was more capable of representing pollutant leaching in near-true scenarios. In addition, the results indicate potential adverse health implications associated with the incorporation of hazardous waste, such as bottom ash, into asphalt pavement. These findings hold significant implications for promoting environmentally responsible practices of asphalt pavement.

    Abstract Background: Females are considered to have an increased susceptibility to neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) than males, especially aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody positive NMOSD, indicating that sex hormones may be involved in the NMOSD pathogenesis. However, the causality between sex hormones and NMOSD still remains unclear.
    Methods: Based on the genome-wide association study (GWAS) data of three sex hormones (estradiol (E2), progesterone (PROG) and bioavailable testosterone (BAT)), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), age of menarche, age of menopause, and NMOSD (total, AQP4 + and AQP4 -), we performed a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) study. Sex-stratified GWAS data of E2, PROG, BAT, and SHBG was obtained for gender-specific MR analysis. Causal inferences were based on the inverse variance weighted method, MR-Egger regression, and weighted median method. The reverse MR analysis was also performed to assess the impact of NMOSD on hormone levels.
    Results: PROG in females had aggravative effects on NMOSD (P < 0.001), especially AQP4 - NMOSD (P < 0.001). In the reverse MR analysis, total NMOSD was found to decrease the level of BAT (P < 0.001) and increase the level of SHBG (P = 0.001) in females.
    Conclusion: Findings of this MR analysis revealed mutual causal associations between sex hormones and NMOSD, which provided novel perspectives about the gender-related pathogenesis of NMOSD.

    Abstract This paper introduces a methodology to recover the morphology of a complex rough surface from ultrasonic pulse echo measurements with an array of equidistant sensors using the one dimensional convolution neural network (1DCNN). The neural network is trained by the datasets simulated from high-fidelity finite element simulations for surfaces with a range of roughness parameters and is tested on both numerical and real experimental data. To assess the performance of our proposed method, the rough surface reconstruction results from the deep learning approach are compared with those obtained from conventional ultrasonic array imaging methods. Unlike array imaging-based methods that require a large number of sensors (e.g., 128, 64 or 32), the deep learning-based method uses pulse echo signals and can achieve accurate results with much fewer sensors. The developed deep learning approach has the potential to enable low-cost, accurate, and real-time reconstruction of complex surface profiles.

    Abstract Frequency up-conversion, enabled by molecular optomechanical coupling, has recently emerged as a promising approach for converting infrared signals into the visible range through quantum coherent conversion of signals. However, detecting these converted signals poses a significant challenge due to their inherently weak signal intensity. In this work, we propose an amplification mechanism capable of enhancing the signal intensity by a factor of 1000 or more for the frequency up-converted infrared signal in a molecular optomechanical system. The mechanism takes advantage of the strong coupling enhancement with molecular collective mode and the Stokes sideband pump. This work demonstrates a feasible approach for up-converting infrared signals to the visible range.

    Abstract Our subjective experience of remembering guides and monitors the reconstruction of past and simulation of the future, which enables us to identify mistakes and adjust our behavior accordingly. However, what underlies the process of subjective mnemonic experience remains incompletely understood. Here, we combined behavior, repetitive TMS, and functional neuroimaging to probe whether vividness and confidence are generated differently during retrieval. We found that preretrieval repetitive TMS targeting the left angular gyrus (AnG) selectively attenuated the vividness efficiency compared with control stimulation while keeping metacognitive efficiency and objective memory accuracy unaffected. Using trialwise data, we showed that AnG stimulation altered the mediating role of vividness in confidence in the accuracy of memory judgment. Moreover, resting-state functional connectivity of hippocampus and AnG was specifically associated with vividness efficiency, but not metacognitive efficiency across individuals. Together, these results identify the causal involvement of AnG in gauging the vividness, but not the confidence, of memory, thereby suggesting a differentiation account of conscious assessment of memory by functionally and anatomically dissociating the monitoring of vividness from confidence.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the effect of platycodin D (PD) for alleviating pulmonary fibrosis in mice and explore the underlying mechanism.
    Methods: C57BL/6J mouse models of pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin injection into the airway were treated with daily intragastric administration of 10 mg/kg PD for 28 days. The changes of pulmonary fibrosis and the expression and distribution of transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 6 (TRPC6) were evaluated with immunohistochemistry, HE staining and Sirius Red staining. Western blotting was used to detect
    Results: PD treatment significantly alleviated pulmonary fibrosis and reduced
    Conclusion: PD alleviated pulmonary fibrosis in mice possibly by down-regulating TRPC6 and reducing ROS production.
