Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (4th edition)1.
In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Thus, it is important to formulate on a regular basis updated guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Despite numerous reviews, there continues to be confusion regarding acceptable methods to evaluate autophagy, especially in multicellular eukaryotes. Here, we present a set of guidelines for investigators to select and interpret methods to examine autophagy and related processes, and for reviewers to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of reports that are focused on these processes. These guidelines are not meant to be a dogmatic set of rules, because the appropriateness of any assay largely depends on the question being asked and the system being used. Moreover, no individual assay is perfect for every situation, calling for the use of multiple techniques to properly monitor autophagy in each experimental setting. Finally, several core components of the autophagy machinery have been implicated in distinct autophagic processes (canonical and noncanonical autophagy), implying that genetic approaches to block autophagy should rely on targeting two or more autophagy-related genes that ideally participate in distinct steps of the pathway. Along similar lines, because multiple proteins involved in autophagy also regulate other cellular pathways including apoptosis, not all of them can be used as a specific marker for bona fide autophagic responses. Here, we critically discuss current methods of assessing autophagy and the information they can, or cannot, provide. Our ultimate goal is to encourage intellectual and technical innovation in the field
The ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC
ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is a general-purpose, heavy-ion detector at the CERN LHC which focuses on QCD, the strong-interaction sector of the Standard Model. It is designed to address the physics of strongly interacting matter and the quark-gluon plasma at extreme values of energy density and temperature in nucleus-nucleus collisions. Besides running with Pb ions, the physics programme includes collisions with lighter ions, lower energy running and dedicated proton-nucleus runs. ALICE will also take data with proton beams at the top LHC energy to collect reference data for the heavy-ion programme and to address several QCD topics for which ALICE is complementary to the other LHC detectors. The ALICE detector has been built by a collaboration including currently over 1000 physicists and engineers from 105 Institutes in 30 countries. Its overall dimensions are 161626 m3 with a total weight of approximately 10 000 t. The experiment consists of 18 different detector systems each with its own specific technology choice and design constraints, driven both by the physics requirements and the experimental conditions expected at LHC. The most stringent design constraint is to cope with the extreme particle multiplicity anticipated in central Pb-Pb collisions. The different subsystems were optimized to provide high-momentum resolution as well as excellent Particle Identification (PID) over a broad range in momentum, up to the highest multiplicities predicted for LHC. This will allow for comprehensive studies of hadrons, electrons, muons, and photons produced in the collision of heavy nuclei. Most detector systems are scheduled to be installed and ready for data taking by mid-2008 when the LHC is scheduled to start operation, with the exception of parts of the Photon Spectrometer (PHOS), Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) and Electro Magnetic Calorimeter (EMCal). These detectors will be completed for the high-luminosity ion run expected in 2010. This paper describes in detail the detector components as installed for the first data taking in the summer of 2008
Evaluación no invasiva del desarrollo muscular de deportistas
Muscles contribute to the movement, in addition to providing protection to the bones, veins, arte-ries and organs, besides they shape the body. In this article, we describe a non-invasive method to evaluate the functional status of muscles based on muscle temperature, used to track the performance of athletes. The study was developed with different groups of subjects, each with a different sport activity (runners and physicist-constructivists) and, in turn, often with different training frequency (intense and moderate), to which a non-invasive muscle test was applied; with the statistical analysis of the obtained data it was possible to characterize, in a differential way, the muscular behavior in terms of heat released, corresponding to each experimental group.Os músculos contribuem para o movimento, além de fornecer proteção aos ossos, veias, arté-rias e órgãos, além de moldarem o corpo. Neste artigo, descrevemos um método não invasivo para avaliar o estado funcional dos músculos baseado na temperatura muscular, usado para rastrear o desempenho de atletas. O estudo foi desenvolvido com diferentes grupos de sujeitos, cada um com uma atividade esportiva diferente (corredores e físico-construtivistas) e, por sua vez, muitas vezes com treinamento diferente (intenso e moderado), aos quais foram aplicados um teste muscular não invasivo; com a análise estatística dos dados obtidos foi possível carac-terizar, de forma diferencial, o comportamento muscular em termos de calor liberado, corres-pondendo a cada grupo experimental.Los músculos contribuyen al movimiento, además de proporcionar protección a los huesos, venas, arterias y órganos, además dan forma al cuerpo. En el presente artículo, se describe un método no invasivo para evaluar el estado funcional de los músculos con base en la tempe-ratura muscular, usada para dar seguimiento al desempeño de atletas. El estudio se desarrolló con diferentes grupos de sujetos, cada uno con una actividad deportiva distinta (corredores y físico-constructivistas) y, a su vez, con frecuencia de entrenamiento distinto (intensa y mode-rada), a los que se aplicó una prueba muscular no invasiva; con el análisis estadístico de los datos obtenidos fue posible caracterizar, de manera diferencial, el comportamiento muscular en términos de calor liberado, correspondientes a cada grupo experimental
<i>STAT4</i> Gene Variant <i>rs7574865</i> Is Associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis Activity and Anti-CCP Levels in the Western but Not in the Southern Population of Mexico
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a multifactorial autoimmune disease. Currently, several genes play an important role in the development of the disease. The objective was to evaluate the association of the STAT4 rs7574865 and rs897200 gene variants with RA susceptibility, DAS28, RF, and anti-CCP in Western and Southern Mexico populations. Genotyping was performed on 476 samples (cases = 240; controls = 236) using the Taqman® system and qPCR probes. Disease activity was assessed using DAS28 and HAQ DI. CRP, ESR, RF, and anti-CCP were determined for clinical assessment. Our study showed there is a statistically significant association with susceptibility to RA for the rs7574865 variant in the Western population for the GT and TT genotypes. The same genotypes also showed a moderate-to-high activity according to DAS28 and positive anti-CCP compared to the control group. This association was not found in the Southern population. This work confirms the association of the rs7574865 variant with RA, as well as a moderate-to-high activity and positive anti-CCP in the Western population but not in the Southern population. No association of the rs897200 variant was found in any of the studied populations
Análisis de 17 híbridos de maíz sembrados en 17 ambientes de los Valles Altos del centro de México
Los Valles Altos del Centro de México es un área agrícola muy importante para la producción de maíz ( Zea mays L.) y especí f icamente para el mejoramiento genético y para la generación de tecnología. En este estudio fueron evaluados en parcelas demostrativas y de validación 17 híbridos de maíz en 17 ambientes de esta región para identi f icar material genético sobresaliente considerando principalmente su rendimiento de grano, las alturas de planta y mazorca y el ciclo vegetativo de los cultivares. Los resultados más importantes mostraron que los 17 híbridos podrían clasi f icarse como material de ciclo intermedio con base en floraciones masculina (de 87 a 97 días) y femenina (de 89.4 a 99 días). La variable más afectada por la heterogeneidad que existe entre los 17 ambientes del centro de México fue el rendimiento de grano (RG), que varió desde 2.20 (El Batán fecha 2) hasta 8.64 t (Tlaxcoapan); la diferencia entre las localidades de menor y mayor RG fue de 6.44 t. Tlaxcoapan, Santa Lucía, Amealco (fecha 1), Boximo y Epitacio Huerta fueron las mejores localidades (8.19, 8.10, 7.35 y 7.95 t) para la evaluación de los ensayos. H-55, considerado como testigo, produjo 6.30 t ha -1 y sólo fue superado estadísticamente por CMT 099004 (6.90 t ha -1 ). Los cultivares H-55, CML457/ CML459//IML-6, CMT 099003, CMT 099027, H-57, CMT 0290502, CMT 099002 e Insurgentes (de 6.1 a 6.3 t ha -1 ) tuvieron RG estadísticamente iguales. Los ocho híbridos anteriores representan el material más sobresaliente para iniciar nuevos programas de mejoramiento genético o de generación de tecnología, y también son recomendables para la producción de semilla certi f icada o siembra comercial en el área de estudio

Effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on surgery for indeterminate thyroid nodules (THYCOVID): a retrospective, international, multicentre, cross-sectional study.
BACKGROUND
Since its outbreak in early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has diverted resources from non-urgent and elective procedures, leading to diagnosis and treatment delays, with an increased number of neoplasms at advanced stages worldwide. The aims of this study were to quantify the reduction in surgical activity for indeterminate thyroid nodules during the COVID-19 pandemic; and to evaluate whether delays in surgery led to an increased occurrence of aggressive tumours.
METHODS
In this retrospective, international, cross-sectional study, centres were invited to participate in June 22, 2022; each centre joining the study was asked to provide data from medical records on all surgical thyroidectomies consecutively performed from Jan 1, 2019, to Dec 31, 2021. Patients with indeterminate thyroid nodules were divided into three groups according to when they underwent surgery: from Jan 1, 2019, to Feb 29, 2020 (global prepandemic phase), from March 1, 2020, to May 31, 2021 (pandemic escalation phase), and from June 1 to Dec 31, 2021 (pandemic decrease phase). The main outcomes were, for each phase, the number of surgeries for indeterminate thyroid nodules, and in patients with a postoperative diagnosis of thyroid cancers, the occurrence of tumours larger than 10 mm, extrathyroidal extension, lymph node metastases, vascular invasion, distant metastases, and tumours at high risk of structural disease recurrence. Univariate analysis was used to compare the probability of aggressive thyroid features between the first and third study phases. The study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05178186.
FINDINGS
Data from 157 centres (n=49 countries) on 87 467 patients who underwent surgery for benign and malignant thyroid disease were collected, of whom 22 974 patients (18 052 [78·6%] female patients and 4922 [21·4%] male patients) received surgery for indeterminate thyroid nodules. We observed a significant reduction in surgery for indeterminate thyroid nodules during the pandemic escalation phase (median monthly surgeries per centre, 1·4 [IQR 0·6-3·4]) compared with the prepandemic phase (2·0 [0·9-3·7]; p<0·0001) and pandemic decrease phase (2·3 [1·0-5·0]; p<0·0001). Compared with the prepandemic phase, in the pandemic decrease phase we observed an increased occurrence of thyroid tumours larger than 10 mm (2554 [69·0%] of 3704 vs 1515 [71·5%] of 2119; OR 1·1 [95% CI 1·0-1·3]; p=0·042), lymph node metastases (343 [9·3%] vs 264 [12·5%]; OR 1·4 [1·2-1·7]; p=0·0001), and tumours at high risk of structural disease recurrence (203 [5·7%] of 3584 vs 155 [7·7%] of 2006; OR 1·4 [1·1-1·7]; p=0·0039).
INTERPRETATION
Our study suggests that the reduction in surgical activity for indeterminate thyroid nodules during the COVID-19 pandemic period could have led to an increased occurrence of aggressive thyroid tumours. However, other compelling hypotheses, including increased selection of patients with aggressive malignancies during this period, should be considered. We suggest that surgery for indeterminate thyroid nodules should no longer be postponed even in future instances of pandemic escalation.

Search for Ultra-high-energy Photons from Gravitational Wave Sources with the Pierre Auger Observatory
International audienceA search for time-directional coincidences of ultra-high-energy (UHE) photons above 10 EeV with gravitational wave (GW) events from the LIGO/Virgo runs O1 to O3 is conducted with the Pierre Auger Observatory. Due to the distinctive properties of photon interactions and to the background expected from hadronic showers, a subset of the most interesting GW events is selected based on their localization quality and distance. Time periods of 1000 s around and 1 day after the GW events are analyzed. No coincidences are observed. Upper limits on the UHE photon fluence from a GW event are derived that are typically at ∼7 MeV cm (time period 1000 s) and ∼35 MeV cm (time period 1 day). Due to the proximity of the binary neutron star merger GW170817, the energy of the source transferred into UHE photons above 40 EeV is constrained to be less than 20% of its total GW energy. These are the first limits on UHE photons from GW sources
Constraining the sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays across and above the ankle with the spectrum and composition data measured at the Pierre Auger Observatory
In this work we present the interpretation of the energy spectrum and mass composition data as measured by the Pierre Auger Collaboration above eV. We use an astrophysical model with two extragalactic source populations to model the hardening of the cosmic-ray flux at around eV (the so-called "ankle" feature) as a transition between these two components. We find our data to be well reproduced if sources above the ankle emit a mixed composition with a hard spectrum and a low rigidity cutoff. The component below the ankle is required to have a very soft spectrum and a mix of protons and intermediate-mass nuclei. The origin of this intermediate-mass component is not well constrained and it could originate from either Galactic or extragalactic sources. To the aim of evaluating our capability to constrain astrophysical models, we discuss the impact on the fit results of the main experimental systematic uncertainties and of the assumptions about quantities affecting the air shower development as well as the propagation and redshift distribution of injected ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs)
