Abstract:

Tracking transplanted stem cells is necessary to clarify cellular properties and improve transplantation success. In this study, we investigate the effects of fluorescent superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (SPIO) (Molday ION Rhodamine-B™, MIRB) on biological properties of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) and monitor hDPSCs in vitro and in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Morphological analysis showed that intracellular MIRB particles were distributed in the cytoplasm surrounding the nuclei of hDPSCs. 12.5–100 μg/mL MIRB all resulted in 100% labeling efficiency. MTT showed that 12.5–50 μg/mL MIRB could promote cell proliferation and MIRB over 100 μg/mL exhibited toxic effect on hDPSCs. In vitro MRI showed that 1 × 106cells labeled with various concentrations of MIRB (12.5–100 μg/mL) could be visualized. In vivo MRI showed that transplanted cells could be clearly visualized up to 60 days after transplantation. These results suggest that 12.5–50 μg/mL MIRB is a safe range for labeling hDPSCs. MIRB labeled hDPSCs cell can be visualized by MRI in vitro and in vivo. These data demonstrate that MIRB is a promising candidate for hDPSCs tracking in hDPSCs based dental pulp regeneration therapy.

Abstract:

Remote sensing products provide a vital understanding of wildfire effects across a landscape, but detection and delineation of low- and mixed-severity fire remain difficult. Although data provided by the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) project are frequently used to assess severity in the United States, alternative indices can offer improvement in the measurement of low-severity fire effects and would be beneficial for future product development and adoption. This research note evaluated one such alternative, the Mid-Infrared Bi-Spectral Index (MIRBI), which was developed in savannah ecosystems to isolate spectral changes caused by burning and reduce noise from other factors. MIRBI, differenced MIRBI (dMIRBI) and burn severity indices used by MTBS were assessed for spectral optimality at distinguishing severity and the ability to differentiate between unburned and burned canopy in a conifer forest. The MIRBI indices were better at isolating changes caused by burning and demonstrated higher spectral separability, particularly at low severity. These findings suggest that MIRBI indices can provide an enhanced alternative or complement to current MTBS products in high-canopy-cover forests for applications such as discernment of fire perimeters and unburned islands, as well as identification of low-severity fire effects.

Abstract:

Introduction: Evaluating the attenuation of influenza viruses in animal studies is important in developing safe and effective vaccines. This study aimed to demonstrate that the microRNA (miRNA)-let-7b-mediated attenuated influenza viruses (miRT-H1N1) are sufficiently attenuated and safe in mice. Methodology: The pathogenicity of the miRT-H1N1virus was investigated in a mouse model, evaluated with median lethal dose (LD50). The replicative dynamics of the miRT-H1N1, wild type (wt)-H1N1, and scramble (scbl)-H1N1 viruses in the lungs of infected mice were compared. The degrees of lesions and the expression levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-β in the lungs of mice infected with different viruses were also analyzed. Results: In miRT-H1N1 virus-infected mice, 100% of mice survived, and a lower pathogenicity was characterized with non-significant weight loss when compared to mice infected with the control wt virus. The miRT-H1N1 virus was not fatal for mice, even at the highest dose administered. The viral load in the lungs of miRT-H1N1-infected mice was significantly lower than that of the wild-type virus-infected mice. Fewer pulmonary lesions and lower levels of selected pro-inflammatory cytokines in the lungs of the mice infected with the miRT-H1N1 virus were also observed. The virulence of the miRT-H1N1 virus reduced significantly, suggesting that the miRT-H1N1 virus was safe for mice. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that the miRNA-mediated gene silencing is an alternative approach to attenuating the pathogenicity of wt influenza viruses that have potential in the development of influenza vaccines.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTSiderophores have been identified as virulence factors in the opportunistic fungal pathogenAspergillus fumigatus. The 14-pass transmembrane protein MirB is postulated to function as a siderophore transporter, responsible for uptake of the hydroxamate siderophoreN,N′,N″-triacetylfusarinine C (TAFC). Our aim was to identify amino acids ofA. fumigatusMirB that are crucial for uptake of TAFC. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to create MirB mutants. Expression of wild-type and mutant proteins in theSaccharomyces cerevisiaestrain PHY14, which lacks endogenous siderophore transporters, was confirmed by Western blotting. TAFC transport assays using55Fe-labeled TAFC and growth assays with Fe-TAFC as the sole iron source identified alanine 125, tyrosine 577, loop 3, and the second half of loop 7 (Loop7Del2) as crucial for function, since their substitution or deletion abrogated uptake completely. Wild-type MirB transported ferricrocin and coprogen as well as TAFC but not ferrichrysin. MirB was localized by fluorescence microscopy using antisera raised against a MirB extracellular loop peptide. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed that in yeast, wild-type MirB had a punctate distribution under the plasma membrane, as did the A125D and Y577A strains, indicating that the defect in transport of these mutants was unlikely to be due to mislocalization or degradation. MirB immunolocalization inA. fumigatusshowed that the transporter was found in vesicles which cycled between the cytoplasm and the plasma membrane and was concentrated at the hyphal tips. The location of MirB was not influenced by the presence of the siderophore TAFC but was sensitive to internal iron stores.

Abstract:

As a method to derive a “purified” measure along a dimension of interest from response data that are potentially multidimensional in nature, the projective item response theory (PIRT) approach requires first fitting a multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) model to the data before projecting onto a dimension of interest. This study aims to explore how accurate the PIRT results are when the estimated MIRT model is misspecified. Specifically, we focus on using a (potentially misspecified) two-dimensional (2D)-MIRT for projection because of its advantages, including interpretability, identifiability, and computational stability, over higher dimensional models. Two large simulation studies (I and II) were conducted. Both studies examined whether the fitting of a 2D-MIRT is sufficient to recover the PIRT parameters when multiple nuisance dimensions exist in the test items, which were generated, respectively, under compensatory MIRT and bifactor models. Various factors were manipulated, including sample size, test length, latent factor correlation, and number of nuisance dimensions. The results from simulation studies I and II showed that the PIRT was overall robust to a misspecified 2D-MIRT. Smaller third and fourth simulation studies were done to evaluate recovery of the PIRT model parameters when the correctly specified higher dimensional MIRT or bifactor model was fitted with the response data. In addition, a real data set was used to illustrate the robustness of PIRT.

Abstract:

AbstractTo understand the mechanisms standing behind a successful stem cell-based therapy, the monitoring of transplanted cell’s migration, homing as well as the engraftment efficiency and functional capability in-vivo has become a critical issue. The present study was designed to track the labelled oADMSCs in-vitro and its visualization through MRI technique. oADMSCs from passage 4 (P-4) to passage 6 (P-6) were labelled with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) conjugated with rhodamine (Molday Ion Rhodamine-B - MIRB) at the concentration of 25μg Fe/ml in DMEM. Internalized MIRB was observed under fluorescent microscope after 72 hrs of incubation. Labelled oADMSCs showed Prussian Blue positive reaction demonstrating the iron uptake of the cells. The viability of the MIRB-labelled oADMSCs ranged between 98-99 per cent and Trypan blue exclusion test showed no significant difference in viability between labelled and unlabelled oADMSCs. MR signal in control group of cells was similar to that of water. MR signals or fluorescence in MIRB-labelled cells decreased with increasing concentrations of iron. The T2 weighted images of MIRB-labelled oADMSCs increased with increasing concentrations of SPIOs. The MIRB was found to be nontoxic, and did not affect proliferation capacity in-vitro.

Abstract:

Multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) models use data from individual item responses to estimate multiple latent traits of interest, making them useful in educational and psychological measurement, among other areas. When MIRT models are applied in practice, it is not uncommon to see that some items are designed to measure all latent traits while other items may only measure one or two traits. In order to facilitate a clear expression of which items measure which traits and formulate such relationships as a math function in MIRT models, we applied the concept of the Q-matrix commonly used in diagnostic classification models to MIRT models. In this study, we introduced how to incorporate a Q-matrix into an existing MIRT model, and demonstrated benefits of the proposed hybrid model through two simulation studies and an applied study. In addition, we showed the relative ease in modeling educational and psychological data through a Bayesian approach via the NUTS algorithm.

Abstract:

Abstract Background The aim of the study was to dosimetrically compare multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy (MIBT) and stereotactic radiotherapy with CyberKnife (CK) for accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) especially concerning the dose of organs at risk (OAR-s). Patients and methods Treatment plans of thirty-two MIBT and CK patients were compared. The OAR-s included ipsilateral non-target and contralateral breast, ipsilateral and contralateral lung, skin, ribs, and heart for left-sided cases. The fractionation was identical (4 x 6.25 Gy) in both treatment groups. The relative volumes (e.g. V100, V90) receiving a given relative dose (100%, 90%), and the relative doses (e.g. D0.1cm3, D1cm3) delivered to the most exposed small volumes (0.1 cm3, 1 cm3) were calculated from dose-volume histograms. All dose values were related to the prescribed dose (25 Gy). Results Regarding non-target breast CK performed slightly better than MIBT (V100: 0.7% vs. 1.6%, V50: 10.5% vs. 12.9%). The mean dose of the ipsilateral lung was the same for both techniques (4.9%), but doses irradiated to volume of 1 cm3 were lower with MIBT (36.1% vs. 45.4%). Protection of skin and rib was better with MIBT. There were no significant differences between the dose-volume parameters of the heart, but with MIBT, slightly larger volumes were irradiated by 5% dose (V5: 29.9% vs. 21.2%). Contralateral breast and lung received a somewhat higher dose with MIBT (D1cm3: 2.6% vs. 1.8% and 3.6% vs. 2.5%). Conclusions The target volume can be properly irradiated by both techniques with similar dose distributions and high dose conformity. Regarding the dose to the non-target breast, heart, and contralateral organs the CK was superior, but the nearby organs (skin, ribs, ipsilateral lung) received less dose with MIBT. The observed dosimetric differences were small but significant in a few parameters at the examined patient number. More studies are needed to explore whether these dosimetric findings have clinical significance.

Abstract:

Unique and authentic landscapes attract tourists. Hanging Rock and Camping Ground Arya Kemuning and Sanghyang Dora are natural tourist attractions owned by Mirat Village. As a new tourist destination in Majalengka Regency, the tourism stakeholders of Mirat village play an important role in developing the existing tourism potential to increase the number of tourist visits. This study aims to determine the marketing communication strategy carried out by the village government and Kelompok Sadar Wisata (POKDARWIS), the factors that support and hinder the marketing communication strategy in increasing tourist visits to the Mirat tourism village. This study uses a phenomenological method with a qualitative approach. The data source used is primary with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the marketing communication strategy carried out by the village government and Kelompok Sadar Wisata (POKDARWIS) had a positive impact on increasing the number of tourists. The success of the marketing communication strategy is supported by the unique appeal of tourist destinations in Mirat Village. Although there are obstacles in terms of accessibility and amenities, it is hoped that in the future there will be the right solution through alternative shuttle bus transportation to tourist locations and improving the quality of amenities to support tourist comfort.

Abstract:

Although item response theory (IRT) models such as the bifactor, two-tier, and between-item-dimensionality IRT models have been devised to confirm complex dimensional structures in educational and psychological data, they can be challenging to use in practice. The reason is that these models are multidimensional IRT (MIRT) models and thus are highly parameterized, making them only suitable for data provided by large samples. Unfortunately, many educational and psychological studies are conducted on a small scale, leaving the researchers without the necessary MIRT models to confirm the hypothesized structures in their data. To address the lack of modeling options for these researchers, we present a general Bayesian MIRT model based on adaptive informative priors. Simulations demonstrated that our MIRT model could be used to confirm a two-tier structure (with two general and six specific dimensions), a bifactor structure (with one general and six specific dimensions), and a between-item six-dimensional structure in rating scale data representing sample sizes as small as 100. Although our goal was to provide a general MIRT model suitable for smaller samples, the simulations further revealed that our model was applicable to larger samples. We also analyzed real data from 121 individuals to illustrate that the findings of our simulations are relevant to real situations.

Abstract:

A theoretical and conceptual framework for true-score equating using a simple-structure multidimensional item response theory (SS-MIRT) model is developed. A true-score equating method, referred to as the SS-MIRT true-score equating (SMT) procedure, also is developed. SS-MIRT has several advantages over other complex multidimensional item response theory models including improved efficiency in estimation and straightforward interpretability. The performance of the SMT procedure was examined and evaluated through four studies using different data types. In these studies, results from the SMT procedure were compared with results from four other equating methods to assess the relative benefits of SMT compared with the other procedures. In general, SMT showed more accurate equating results compared with the traditional unidimensional IRT (UIRT) equating when the data were multidimensional. More accurate performance of SMT over UIRT true-score equating was consistently observed across the studies, which supports the benefits of a multidimensional approach in equating for multidimensional data. Also, SMT performed similarly to a SS-MIRT observed score method across all studies.

Abstract:

Current procedures for estimating compensatory multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) models using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques are inadequate in that they do not directly model the interrelationship between latent traits. This limits the implementation of the model in various applications and further prevents the development of other types of IRT models that offer advantages not realized in existing models. In view of this, an MCMC algorithm is proposed for MIRT models so that the actual latent structure is directly modeled. It is demonstrated that the algorithm performs well in modeling parameters as well as intertrait correlations and that the MIRT model can be used to explore the relative importance of a latent trait in answering each test item.

Abstract:

Recent studies have demonstrated that lymphocytes play a key role in ischemic brain injury. However, there is still a lack of viable approaches to non-invasively track infiltrating lymphocytes and reveal their key spatiotemporal events in the inflamed central nervous system (CNS). Here we describe an in vivo imaging approach for sequential monitoring of brain-infiltrating CD4+ T cells in experimental ischemic stroke. We show that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or Xenogen imaging combined with labeling of SPIO-Molday ION Rhodamine-B (MIRB) can be used to monitor the dynamics of CD4+ T cells in a passive transfer model. MIRB-labeled CD4+ T cells can be longitudinally visualized in the mouse brain and peripheral organs such as the spleen and liver after cerebral ischemia. Immunostaining of tissue sections showed similar kinetics of MIRB-labeled CD4+ T cells when compared with in vivo observations. Our results demonstrated the use of MIRB coupled with in vivo imaging as a valid method to track CD4+ T cells in ischemic brain injury. This approach will facilitate future investigations to identify the dynamics and key spatiotemporal events for brain-infiltrating lymphocytes in CNS inflammatory diseases.

Abstract:

The development of the economics HOTS test that combines critical thinking skills, problem-solving, and critical thinking are essential to meet the challenges of the 21st century life skills. The combination of these thinking skills in the HOT test will help teachers to diagnose students' strengths and weaknesses. However, it could interfere with the accuracy of the measurement results if analyzed using IRT in a single analysis. The Multidimensional Item Response Theory (MIRT) resolved the accuracy of the measurement issues. This research aimed to develop the economics HOTS test to estimate the student’s abilities in higher order thinking skills using the MIRT. The samples were 750 high school students selected from fourteen high schools in West Sumatera, Indonesia. The data were collected using tests which calibrated through the simple-structure MIRT model using R studio. The test reliability was calculated based on coefficients Alpha and test information function. The results show MIRT offers accurate measurement in estimating multidimensional test parameters. The item had a moderate average multidimensional discriminant and difficulty, while the students had a moderate HOTS ability. Their ability to think creatively was lower than critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. The test was proven to be reliable with coefficients Alpha of 0.81, it yielded a high-test information function of the 4.0124, and a low measurement error of 0.4992. It is suitable to be tested on students who have moderate abilities in problem-solving and critical thinking, but with high creative thinking ability. Keywords: HOTS, critical thinking, creative thinking, problem solving, MIRT.

Abstract:

In a pilot randomized clinical trial, participants aged ≥60 years (n = 35) with physical limitations and symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) were randomized to 12 weeks of lower-body low-load resistance training with blood-flow restriction (BFR) or moderate-intensity resistance training (MIRT) to evaluate changes in muscle strength, pain, and physical function. Four exercises were performed three times per week to volitional fatigue using 20% and 60% of one repetition maximum (1RM). Study outcomes included knee extensor strength, gait speed, Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) performance, and pain via the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities OA Index (WOMAC). Per established guidance for pilot studies, primary analyses for the trial focused on safety, feasibility, and effect sizes/95% confidence intervals of dependent outcomes to inform a fully-powered trial. Across three speeds of movement, the pre- to post-training change in maximal isokinetic peak torque was 9.96 (5.76, 14.16) Nm while the mean difference between groups (BFR relative to MIRT) was −1.87 (−10.96, 7.23) Nm. Most other directionally favored MIRT, though more spontaneous reports of knee pain were observed (n = 14) compared to BFR (n = 3). BFR may have lower efficacy than MIRT in this context—though a fully-powered trial is needed to definitively address this hypothesis.

Abstract:

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease in which gait and balance disturbances are relevant symptoms that respond poorly to pharmacological treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate whether a 4-week inpatient multidisciplinary intensive rehabilitation treatment (MIRT) is effective in improving balance and gait and whether improvements persist at a one-year followup. We studied 20 PD inpatients (stage 3 Hoehn-Yahr) who underwent a MIRT. Outcome measures were UPDRS items for balance (30), falls (13), and walk (29), Berg Balance Scale, six-minute walking test, Timed Up and Go Test, and Comfortable-Fast gait speeds. Patients were evaluated at admission, at the end of the 4-week treatment, and at a 1-year followup. Pharmacological therapy was unchanged during MIRT and follow-up. All outcome measures improved significantly at the end of treatment. At 1-year follow-up control, UPDRS walk and Comfortable-Fast gait speeds still maintained better values with respect to admission (P=0.009,P=0.03,andP=0.02, resp.), while the remaining scales did not differ significantly. Our results demonstrate that the MIRT was effective in improving balance and gait and that the improvement in gait performances was partially maintained also after 1 year.

Abstract:

Introduced tree species which have a wide natural range of distribution should be tested in experiments with different provenances. Douglas-fir is a very productive conifer species in its natural forest stands of America and Canada. Because of its high value, it is very popular in the countries of Europe and New Zealand as a conifer species suitable for reforestation. Its genetics and ecological adaptability can be confirmed by the investigations of its variable morphological traits, which is the aim of this research. Needle characteristics and needle morphology play a very important role in the performance of plant functions. Needle structure has a great influence on the plant life-cycle and their resistance to water loss, temperature and CO2 levels. The characteristics and morphology of needles were studied in order to determine whether there are differences between the provenances. Two experimental plots with twenty Douglas-fir provenances originally from North America were established in Serbia. A two-way analysis of variance was aimed at a closer study of the effects of the interaction of the site conditions of Douglas-fir provenances in the test locations in Serbia on the morphological traits of the needles.

Abstract:

In large-scale educational assessment data consistent with a simple-structure multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) model, where every item measures only one latent variable, separate unidimensional item response theory (UIRT) models for each latent variable are often calibrated for practical reasons. While this approach can be valid for data from a linear test, unacceptable item parameter estimates are obtained when data arise from a multistage test (MST). We explore this situation from a missing data perspective and show mathematically that MST data will be problematic for calibrating multiple UIRT models but not MIRT models. This occurs because some items that were used in the routing decision are excluded from the separate UIRT models, due to measuring a different latent variable. Both simulated and real data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress are used to further confirm and explore the unacceptable item parameter estimates. The theoretical and empirical results confirm that only MIRT models are valid for item calibration of multidimensional MST data.

Abstract:

This study investigated the Type I error rate and power of the multivariate extension of the S − χ2 statistic using unidimensional and multidimensional item response theory (UIRT and MIRT, respectively) models as well as full-information bifactor (FI-bifactor) models through simulation. Manipulated factors included test length, sample size, latent trait characteristics such as discrimination pattern and intertrait correlations, and model type misspecification. The nominal Type I error rates were observed under all conditions. The power of the S − χ2 statistic for UIRT models was high for MIRT and FI-bifactor models that were structurally most distinct from the UIRT models but was low otherwise. The power of the S − χ2 statistic to detect misfitting between MIRT and FI-bifactor models was low across all conditions because of the structural similarity of these two models. Finally, information-based indices of relative model–data fit and latent variable correlations were obtained, and these showed expected patterns across conditions.

Abstract:

The filamentous ascomyceteAspergillus nidulans produces three major siderophores: fusigen, triacetylfusarinine C, and ferricrocin. Biosynthesis and uptake of iron from these siderophores, as well as from various heterologous siderophores, is repressed by iron and this regulation is mediated in part by the transcriptional repressor SREA. Recently we have characterized a putative siderophore-transporter-encoding gene (mirA). Here we present the characterization of two further SREA- and iron-regulated paralogues (mirB and mirC), including the chromosomal localization and the complete exon/intron structure. Expression of mirA and mirB in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, which lacks high affinity iron transport systems, showed that MIRA transports specifically the heterologous siderophore enterobactin and that MIRB transports exclusively the native siderophore triacetylfusarinine C. Construction and analysis of an A. nidulans mirA deletion mutant confirmed the substrate specificity of MIRA. Phylogenetic analysis of the available sequences suggests that the split of the species A. nidulans and S. cerevisiae predates the divergence of the paralogous Aspergillus siderophore transporters.
