Electrophysiological comparison of left versus right stellate ganglia neurons by Arie O. Verkerk, Carol Ann Remme, Molly O'Reilly

“…We reveal that there are two populations of neurons in terms of their AP firing properties (phasic or tonic firing), with the majority (65 %) firing with a phasic pattern. When all recordings were pooled, tonic neurons had a significantly larger AP amplitude (85 ± 3.0 vs 76 ± 2.4 mV) and overshoot (28 ± 1.8 vs 19 ± 1.8 mV) compared to phasic neurons (P < 0.05). …”

Exploring the Relationship Between Adipocytokines and Endometrial Cancer: Identifying Correlations With Clinico‐Pathological Prognostic Factors by Irene Ray, Carla S. Möller‐Levet, Agnieszka Michael, Simon Butler‐Manuel, Jayanta Chatterjee, Anil Tailor, Ben Haagsma, Izhar Bagwan, Lisiane B. Meira, Patricia E. Ellis

“…Results Using qRT‐PCR analysis, endometrial cancer tissues (n = 39) exhibited higher expression levels of adiponectin, leptin, IL6, TNFα, and their receptors, IL6R and TNFRSF1A/B, compared to the calibrator sample, which consisted of five pooled benign endometrial control samples. Intriguingly, the adiponectin receptors, ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2 demonstrated opposing correlations with cancer characteristics such as grade, histology, LVSI, and microcystic elongated and fragmented (MELF) pattern. …”

Time Series Data Provide Insights into the Evolution and Abundance of One of the Most Abundant Viruses in the Marine Virosphere: The Uncultured Pelagiphages vSAG 37-F6 by Marina Vila-Nistal, Ramiro Logares, Josep M. Gasol, Manuel Martinez-Garcia

“…We explored the temporal dynamics of vSAG 37-F6, assessing periodic fluctuations in abundance and evolutionary patterns using long- and short-term data series. In the long-term series (7 years), metagenomics showed negative selection acting on all viral genes, with a highly conserved overall diversity over time composed of a pool of yearly emergent, highly similar novel strains that exhibited a seasonal abundance pattern with two peaks during winter and fall and a decrease in months with higher UV radiation. …”

The Possible Influence of Atmospheric Circulation and North Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly on the Winter Cold Wave Frequency in the Southern China by Feng JIANG, Liping LI

“…Based on the daily minimum temperature station data provided by the National Meteorological Information Centre from 1980 to 2022， the month-by-month reanalysis data of the NCEP/NCAR， and the monthly Sea Surface Temperature （SST） data from the NOAA， by using EOF， simple linear regression and T-N wave flux methods， the main anomalous spatial and temporal characteristics of winter cold wave frequency in the southern China are studied， and the influence mechanisms of atmospheric circulation and winter Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly （SSTA） on it are also analyzed.The results show that： （1） The large value areas of winter cold wave frequency are mainly located in the eastern and central of the southern China， with an approximately "inverse C" distribution.There are three main frequency anomalous modes， namely， regionally consistent anomaly， north-south antiphase anomaly and tripole anomaly patterns according to the EOF analysis， among which the regionally consistent anomaly reflects the overall anomalous spatial and temporal characteristics of the winter cold wave frequency in the southern China.（2） The negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation （NAO）， the strong Caspian Sea - Tibetan Plateau ridge and the East Asian Trough located to the north and to the east， the weak in the north and strong in the south of the Siberian High， the strong temperate jet and the weak subtropical jet are the key circulation systems affect the winter cold wave frequency in the southern China.The cold air pool is located in the Western Siberia.The high and low level circulation systems cooperate together to make the cold air from Western Siberia move southward to the vicinity of the Caspian Sea， and then transport eastward along the northern side of the Tibetan Plateau， then move southward into the southern China along the eastern side of the Tibetan Plateau， resulting in the increase of the winter cold wave frequency in the whole southern China.（3）In winter， the “+”“-”“+” tripolar SSTA in the North Atlantic can stimulate the -NAO atmospheric circulation anomalies through the exchange of heat fluxes between air and sea and the Rossby wave energy anomalies.The Rossby wave energy propagates from the North Atlantic to East Asia along the south and north two paths， and stimulates the corresponding anomalous waves， which enhance the key circulation systems in the north and south affecting the cold wave frequency in the southern China.When the North Atlantic SSTA exhibits an inverse "C" anomaly in spring， and there is a trend of developing into a “+”“-”“+” tripolar pattern in summer and autumn， the winter cold wave frequency in the southern China can be predicted to more.…”
