POPULATION GENETIC STRUCTURE OF SPINY LOBSTERS, Panulirus homarus AND Panulirus ornatus, IN THE INDIAN OCEAN, CORAL TRIANGLE, AND SOUTH CHINA SEA

Populations of spiny lobsters worldwide are threatened by overfishing, while its supply from aquaculture is currently insufficient to meet the market demand. This current study investigated the genetic structure of two economically important spiny lobsters, P. homarus and P. ornatus sourced from the Indian Ocean and South China Sea. Fragments of the cytochrome oxidase subunit-I (COI) gene of the mitochondrial DNA of 71 P. homarus and 42 P. ornatus collected from 6 and 5 fish landing sites in Indonesia, respectively, were sequenced. Homologous sequences from the Indian Ocean and South China Sea available at GenBank were included in the analysis. No genetic differences were observed in P. ornatus populations from the two geographic regions (xST = -0.005) while a diminutive difference was found in the populations of P. homarus (xST = -0.002 and 0.009). These results, combined with a negative Tajima’s D estimates, points to a deficit of nucleotide variation relative to the expectations from the mutation/drift equilibrium. Reconstruction of the phylogeny of P. homarus demonstrates that all Indonesian samples of P. homarus are grouped in one cluster and share the common cluster with GenBank data originated from Taiwan, Vietnam, India, Sri Lanka, Oman, and Iran. The phylogeny of P. ornatus indicates that there are two separated lineages existing in Indonesia

Genomic signatures of host-associated divergence and adaptation in a coral-eating snail, Coralliophila violacea (Kiener, 1836).

The fluid nature of the ocean, combined with planktonic dispersal of marine larvae, lowers physical barriers to gene flow. However, divergence can still occur despite gene flow if strong selection acts on populations occupying different ecological niches. Here, we examined the population genomics of an ectoparasitic snail, Coralliophila violacea (Kiener 1836), that specializes on Porites corals in the Indo-Pacific. Previous genetic analyses revealed two sympatric lineages associated with different coral hosts. In this study, we examined the mechanisms promoting and maintaining the snails' adaptation to their coral hosts. Genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data from type II restriction site-associated DNA (2b-RAD) sequencing revealed two differentiated clusters of C. violacea that were largely concordant with coral host, consistent with previous genetic results. However, the presence of some admixed genotypes indicates gene flow from one lineage to the other. Combined, these results suggest that differentiation between host-associated lineages of C. violacea is occurring in the face of ongoing gene flow, requiring strong selection. Indeed, 2.7% of all SNP loci were outlier loci (73/2,718), indicative of divergence with gene flow, driven by adaptation of each C. violacea lineage to their specific coral hosts

Outcome following cervicothoracic junction fusion in T1 pathological fracture of breast cancer spinal metastases: a case report

The cervicothoracic junction (CTJ) is defined as the area extending from vertebral segment C7 to T2. Spinal metastases of CTJ are rare, range from 10% to less than 20%. A 47-year-old woman complained sensory and motor disturbance since 3 weeks prior to admission. History of lump on the left breast was confirmed. Neurological deficit was confirmed as ASIA C at the time of diagnosis. MRI finding suggest fracture of T1 vertebral body with kypothic angle 28° that causing anterior compression of spinal cord. The patient underwent decompression and posterior fusion from C4 to T4. A biopsy sample was also collected from the spine and left breast to confirm the diagnosis. Patient evaluation was done during discharge and at certain points of follow-up for improvement on its neurological, pain, and functional status. An MRI evaluation was performed to evaluate spinal stability and fusion. Significant improvements were observed in patient ambulatory and pain status. Cervicothoracic junction fusion procedure is a considerable choice for the management of pathological vertebral fractures with cervicothoracic junction involvement caused by spinal metastases of breast cancer

Medial swivel type dislocation of the talonavicular joint with associated cuboid fracture: a case report

Medial Swivel-type dislocation are dislocation of talonavicular joint (TNJ) medially and the calcaneus swivels under the talus, with the calcaneocuboid joint intact. This is a rare injury due to the strong network of ligament and tendinous structures. An 11-year-old girl presented after 1 week of injury to the left foot. She had pain, swelling on the mid-foot and inability to weight bearing. X-ray and computerized tomography (CT) scan showed medial dislocation of TNJ, with fracture of cuboid body. A closed reduction was attempted but it failed. Patient then underwent open reduction with K-wire fixation and immobilization by below knee cast for 3 weeks. After K-wire removal, the foot was stable with near normal ankle and sub-talar joint range of motion and patient started to partial weight bearing Midtarsal dislocations of the foot are rare injuries. In this case dislocation is resulted from high-energy medial forces to the forefoot. The associated cuboid fracture possibly as a result of tensile forces through the lateral structure of midfoot with adduction. ‘Swivel dislocation’ in which the TNJ dislocates, usually medially, and the calcaneus swivels under the talus, with the calcaneocuboid joint intact. A careful assessment of initial radiograph and CT scan should be done to determine type of dislocation and associated fracture. An open reduction K-wire fixation bring a stable reduction. Talonavicular dislocations are rare injuries, occur as a result of high-energy trauma. A stable reduction and good outcome are anticipated
