    Description: Complex gene-environment interactions are considered important in the development of obesity. The composition of the gut microbiota can determine the efficacy of energy harvest from food and changes in dietary composition have been associated with changes in the composition of gut microbial populations. The capacity to explore microbiota composition was markedly improved by the development of metagenomic approaches, which have already allowed production of the first human gut microbial gene catalogue and stratifying individuals by their gut genomic profile into different enterotypes, but the analyses were carried out mainly in non-intervention settings. To investigate the temporal relationships between food intake, gut microbiota and metabolic and inflammatory phenotypes, we conducted diet-induced weight-loss and weight-stabilization interventions in a study sample of 38 obese and 11 overweight individuals. Here we report that individuals with reduced microbial gene richness (40%) present more pronounced dys-metabolism and low-grade inflammation, as observed concomitantly in the accompanying paper. Dietary intervention improves low gene richness and clinical phenotypes, but seems to be less efficient for inflammation variables in individuals with lower gene richness. Low gene richness may therefore have predictive potential for the efficacy of intervention.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cotillard, Aurelie -- Kennedy, Sean P -- Kong, Ling Chun -- Prifti, Edi -- Pons, Nicolas -- Le Chatelier, Emmanuelle -- Almeida, Mathieu -- Quinquis, Benoit -- Levenez, Florence -- Galleron, Nathalie -- Gougis, Sophie -- Rizkalla, Salwa -- Batto, Jean-Michel -- Renault, Pierre -- ANR MicroObes consortium -- Dore, Joel -- Zucker, Jean-Daniel -- Clement, Karine -- Ehrlich, Stanislav Dusko -- England -- Nature. 2013 Aug 29;500(7464):585-8. doi: 10.1038/nature12480.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale, U872, Nutriomique, Equipe 7, Centre de Recherches des Cordeliers, Paris 75006, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23985875" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: beta-catenin is a multi-functional protein that has an important role in the mature central nervous system; its dysfunction has been implicated in several neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression. Here we show that in mice beta-catenin mediates pro-resilient and anxiolytic effects in the nucleus accumbens, a key brain reward region, an effect mediated by D2-type medium spiny neurons. Using genome-wide beta-catenin enrichment mapping, we identify Dicer1-important in small RNA (for example, microRNA) biogenesis--as a beta-catenin target gene that mediates resilience. Small RNA profiling after excising beta-catenin from nucleus accumbens in the context of chronic stress reveals beta-catenin-dependent microRNA regulation associated with resilience. Together, these findings establish beta-catenin as a critical regulator in the development of behavioural resilience, activating a network that includes Dicer1 and downstream microRNAs. We thus present a foundation for the development of novel therapeutic targets to promote stress resilience.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4257892/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4257892/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dias, Caroline -- Feng, Jian -- Sun, Haosheng -- Shao, Ning Yi -- Mazei-Robison, Michelle S -- Damez-Werno, Diane -- Scobie, Kimberly -- Bagot, Rosemary -- LaBonte, Benoit -- Ribeiro, Efrain -- Liu, XiaoChuan -- Kennedy, Pamela -- Vialou, Vincent -- Ferguson, Deveroux -- Pena, Catherine -- Calipari, Erin S -- Koo, Ja Wook -- Mouzon, Ezekiell -- Ghose, Subroto -- Tamminga, Carol -- Neve, Rachael -- Shen, Li -- Nestler, Eric J -- P50 MH096890/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- R00 MH094405/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2014 Dec 4;516(7529):51-5. doi: 10.1038/nature13976.

    Description: Liver cirrhosis occurs as a consequence of many chronic liver diseases that are prevalent worldwide. Here we characterize the gut microbiome in liver cirrhosis by comparing 98 patients and 83 healthy control individuals. We build a reference gene set for the cohort containing 2.69 million genes, 36.1% of which are novel. Quantitative metagenomics reveals 75,245 genes that differ in abundance between the patients and healthy individuals (false discovery rate 〈 0.0001) and can be grouped into 66 clusters representing cognate bacterial species; 28 are enriched in patients and 38 in control individuals. Most (54%) of the patient-enriched, taxonomically assigned species are of buccal origin, suggesting an invasion of the gut from the mouth in liver cirrhosis. Biomarkers specific to liver cirrhosis at gene and function levels are revealed by a comparison with those for type 2 diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease. On the basis of only 15 biomarkers, a highly accurate patient discrimination index is created and validated on an independent cohort. Thus microbiota-targeted biomarkers may be a powerful tool for diagnosis of different diseases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Qin, Nan -- Yang, Fengling -- Li, Ang -- Prifti, Edi -- Chen, Yanfei -- Shao, Li -- Guo, Jing -- Le Chatelier, Emmanuelle -- Yao, Jian -- Wu, Lingjiao -- Zhou, Jiawei -- Ni, Shujun -- Liu, Lin -- Pons, Nicolas -- Batto, Jean Michel -- Kennedy, Sean P -- Leonard, Pierre -- Yuan, Chunhui -- Ding, Wenchao -- Chen, Yuanting -- Hu, Xinjun -- Zheng, Beiwen -- Qian, Guirong -- Xu, Wei -- Ehrlich, S Dusko -- Zheng, Shusen -- Li, Lanjuan -- England -- Nature. 2014 Sep 4;513(7516):59-64. doi: 10.1038/nature13568.

    Notes: Summary Data from two multiparameter radars are used to diagnose some microphysical characteristics of intense convective storms, in particular, the 24 June 1992 case near Fort Collins and Greeley, Colorado. Dual-polarization and dual-frequency radar measurements from the CSU-CHILL and NCAR/CP-2 radars provided the basis for microphysical interpretations. Supporting in-situ measurements were provided by several T-28 aircraft penetrations of updraft regions. Limited dual-Doppler synthesis as well as surface mesoscale features showed persistent regions of convergence and advection of moist air along the northeast side of the storm complex. The Fort Collins storm was analyzed in detail over its duration including an intercomparison of rainfall rates from raingage and as deduced from specific differential phase and attenuation measurements. Vertical sections of radar data taken parallel and perpendicular to the surface convergence axis showed interesting features such as positiveZ dr and attenuation columns with an LDR ‘cap’ on the inflow side. Such columns provide evidence of the important role of warm cloud processes in this storm. NCAR/CP-2 radar data from a multi-cellular storm in central Florida are also analyzed as a contrast to the 24 June Colorado case.

    Notes: Abstract Allozyme variation was examined in 1571 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) from 29 localities in Tennessee by starch gel electrophoresis. For 11 polymorphic loci, sex-related, age-related and temporal differences were minimal. However, significant spatial hererogeneity was evident in genotypes (contingency table results), allele frequencies (F ST=0.057) and heterozygosity. Heterozygosity ranged from 16.9% to 26.8% with a mean of 22.9%. The spatial pattern of allele frequencies determined from Rogers' coefficients of genetic similarity indicated associations based on geographic proximity and stocking history. In hierarchial analyses, physiographic regions accounted for more of the total gene diversity than herd origin groups (populations of similar origin) but less than individual populations. For five loci, physiographic regions accounted for more of the gene diversity than populations, suggesting a selection role in the observed genetic variability. Bivariate and canonical correlation analyses revealed significant associations between environmental and genetic variables. Temperature variables and allele frequencies for three loci (alcohol dehydrogenase, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, sorbitol dehydrogenase) had the prominent roles in the multivariate association between environmental and genetic variables. Herd origin, gene flow and selection appear to be involved in the gene diversity in deer from Tennesee.

    Notes: Abstract Strategic Agricultural Trade Policy Interdependence is modeled using a game theoretic framework. The model distinguishes between the European Community, the United States and a politically passive rest-of-the-world. Particular emphasis is placed on the effect of the exchange rate on the equilibrium outcome of this game. Without compensatory payments to those with the highest political influence, the results suggest that only modest reform is possible. With compensation, liberalization occurs but free trade is not obtained. Simulations also indicate that the U.S. gains incentive to reduce protection given a depreciation of the dollar, while incentive to liberalize trade policies decreases as the dollar appreciates. Research was supported by Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station project 14065 “Economic Integration and Disintegration in Europe: Implications for U.S. Agriculture.”

    Notes: Abstract This paper extends the mixed estimation technique to handle a case in which the coefficients of a set of linear constraints are known nonlinear functions of an unknown parameter vector for which an extraneous unbiased estimate is available. This novel form of the mixed estimation technique is illustrated by applying it to the Bass innovation/diffusion model of new product growth. It is suggested that this is superior to the traditional method whereby “managerial intuition” is incorporated into this type of model, and is an attractive alternative to recently-suggested Bayesian methods.

    Notes: Summary A quality control programme for mercury determinations in hair was developed within a study of “Mental effects of prenatal methylmercury exposure in New Zealand children”. Hair was obtained from seven females with a mercury concentration of about 0.5–4 μg Hg/g. The hair was cut into 1–5 cm pieces and pulverized by liquid nitrogen grinding using a ring mill. In order to obtain a series of QC samples with varying Hg concentrations, different amounts of powder from all the samples and a reference sample of pulverized hair (11.2 μg Hg/g) were mixed using a Braun Mikrodismembrator II. To eliminate static electricity when weighing the material, an alpha-ionization unit, Po210 was placed close to the pan within the analytical balance. The mercury concentrations in the original samples and the mixtures were determined by radiochemical neutron activation analysis (RNAA), at the Swedish Environmental Research Institute. In total four laboratories participated in the interlaboratory comparison. All laboratories used the cold vapor AAS technique and Hg monitor model 1235, LDC for determinations after wet digestion of the samples. The accuracy of RNAA was established using the Ispra reference hair sample T4 and the IAEA reference hair sample HH1. There was good agreement between found and expected Hg values for the hair mixtures. Following the first rounds of analyses, two laboratories showed analytical improvements after introduction of a Po-210 unit into the chamber of the analytical balance.
