Abstract
Maternal immune activation (MIA) during pregnancy is considered a risk factor for neurodevelopment in the offspring, resulting in behavioral abnormalities. Furthermore, adolescence is a vulnerable period for developing different psycho-cognitive deficits. Here, we aimed to observe the cognitive consequences of prenatal MIA exposure in adolescents and explored the underlying mechanisms. We divided dams into CON and MIA groups after inducing a mouse model of MIA using lipopolysaccharide (120μg/kg) on gestational day 15. Open field (OF), elevated plus maze (EPM), and novel object recognition (NOR) tests were performed on postnatal day (PD) 35-37. The expression of hippocampal Wisteria floribunda agglutinin (WFA)+ perineuronal net (PNN), parvalbumin (PV), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule-1(Iba-1) were evaluated using immunofluorescence, and the expression of matrix metalloprotein-9 (MMP-9) in the hippocampus was assessed using the western blot. Following the infusion of chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) into CA1 in the offspring from the CON group on PD 30, they were divided into ChABC and Sham groups. OF, EPM, and NOR were performed on PD 35-37. Compared to the CON group, decreased exploration time of the novel object and preference ratio were observed in the MIA group. Meanwhile, the MIA group presented significantly decreased WFA+ PNN in CA1, increased Iba-1+ microglia, and MMP-9 in the hippocampus. Additionally, the density of PV+ neurons and GFAP+ astrocytes was comparable between both groups. After digesting the PNN, the exploration time of novel object and preference ratio decreased in the ChABC group compared to the Sham group. Conclusively, the PNN deficit in CA1 caused by prenatal MIA might, at least partially, induce cognitive impairment in adolescents. Microglia and MMP-9 may also be potential candidates for PNN deficit after MIA.

Abstract
Both environmental stress and immune challenge can induce abnormal neurobehavior. However, the impact of chronic stress on immune challenge-related neurobehavioral abnormalities is still controversial. Hence, we aimed to investigate the effects of chronic stress on immune challenge-related neurobehavioral abnormalities and explore the possible underlying mechanisms. During the first set of experiments, mice were reared under normal condition (NC) or chronic stress (CS) for 4 consecutive weeks. They were allocated to the following four groups: NC + normal saline (NS) group, CS + NS group, NC + lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group, and CS + LPS group. Open field, elevated plus maze, fear conditioning, novel object recognition, and forced swimming tests were performed, and their tissues were harvested. During the second set of experiments, after rearing the mice under the above conditions for 3 weeks, microelectrodes were implanted into the CA1 of the hippocampus. After recovery for 1 week under the respective environmental conditions, the mice were allocated to four groups, as in the first experiments. The basal (home cage) and task (fear conditioning)-related local field potential (LFP) were recorded. In the present study, LPS significantly induced a decrease in the freezing to context and discrimination ratio. However, only the freezing to context was further reduced by prior chronic stress. This suggested that chronic stress worsened fear memory impairment induced by acute LPS challenge. Consistent with the change in fear memory, LPS significantly decreased the expression of PV in the CA1, which was further downregulated by prior chronic stress. On the other hand, LPS inhibited the power of both basal and task-related θ oscillations in the CA1. Only the task-related θ power was further decreased by chronic stress. In conclusion, our study showed that the phenotypic loss of PV interneurons and the decrease in the power of the θ oscillation in the CA1 aggravated by chronic stress may mediate, at least in part, the deterioration of fear memory impairment induced by LPS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conventional protocols utilize core needle biopsy (CNB) or fine needle aspiration (FNA) to produce cell suspension for flow cytometry (FCM) is a diagnostic challenge for lymphoid malignancies. We aim to develop an alternative CNB rinsing technique (RT) to produce cell suspension for FCM during this mini-invasive procedure of CNB for lymphoma diagnosis. METHODS FNA and CNB specimens from the same lesion of 93 patients with suspected lymphoma were collected under the guidance of B-ultrasound simultaneously. The fresh CNB samples were prepared to cell suspension by RT for FCM immunophenotyping analysis (Group CNB-RT). Then, the CNB tissues after performing the RT process and the fresh FNA tissues were processed by conventional tissue cell suspension (TCS) technique to obtain the cell suspensions (Groups of CNB-TCS & FNA-TCS), respectively, as comparison. The diagnostic efficacies, as well as the concordances of the FCM results with reference to the morphologic diagnoses were compared in these three groups. RESULTS RT could yield sufficient cells for FCM immunophenotyping analysis, though a lower cell numbers compared to TCS technique. The diagnostic concordance was comparable in group CNB-RT (91.1%) to the group CNB-TCS (88.9%) and group FNA-TCS (88.4%) (p = 0.819). The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of CNB-RT (91.1%; 100%) was not inferior to that of CNB-TCS (88.9%; 100%) and FNA-TCS (88.4%; 98.8%). CONCLUSIONS This study shows the CNB-RT presented non-inferior diagnostic concordance and efficacy as compared to the TCS technique. CNB-RT has the potential to produce cell suspension for FCM immunophenotyping while preserving tissue for lymphoma diagnosis and research.

Abstract
Systemic inflammation induces cognitive impairments via unclear mechanisms. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that a subset of neurons that express parvalbumin (PV) play a critical role in regulation of cognitive and emotional behavior. Thus, the aim of the present study was to test whether disruption of PV interneuron mediates systemic inflammation-induced depression-like behavior and working memory impairment by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Here we showed that LPS induces depression-like behavior and working memory impairment, coinciding with increased PV expression, enhanced GABAergic transmission, and impaired long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus. Notably, systemic administration of NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor (NMDAR) antagonist ketamine was able to interfere with PV expression and reverse depression-like behavior and working memory impairment, which is probably mediated by reversing impaired LTP. In addition, flumazenil, a competitive antagonist acting at the benzodiazepine binding site of the GABAA receptor, also ameliorated these abnormal behaviors. Collectively, our study added growing evidence to the limited studies that overinhibition mediated by PV interneurons might play a critical role in LPS-induced depression-like behavior and working memory impairment.

Abstract
Virus isolate G10 was obtained from diseased allamanda plants showing leaf curl symptoms in Guangdong, China. The full-length nucleotide sequence of a DNA-A-like molecule of G10 was cloned and sequenced; it comprises 2755 nucleotides and has a typical begomovirus genome organization with six conserved open reading frames. When compared with the DNA-A sequences of other begomoviruses, the complete nucleotide sequence of DNA-A of G10 had the highest sequence identity (81.2%) to tomato leaf curl Guangdong virus (ToLCGuV) isolate G2. This is less than the 89% identity in the complete genome that has been defined as the threshold value for demarcation of species in the genus Begomovirus. The molecular data show that isolate G10 from allamanda in Guangdong, China is a distinct Begomovirus species, for which the name Allamanda leaf curl virus (AlLCV) is proposed.

Abstract
Virus isolate G6 was obtained from Hibiscus rosa-sinensis showing yellow and leaf curl symptoms in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. The complete nucleotide sequence of DNA-A was determined to be 2 737 nucleotides encoding six potential ORFs. Comparison showed that G6 DNA-A had more than 89% sequence identify with all isolates of Cotton leaf curl Multan virus (CLCuMV) and shared the highest sequence identify (96.1%) with CLCuMV isolate 62. G6 DNA-A had 87.1%-89.8% sequence identity with those of CLCuRV isolates, while less than 87% identities with other begomoviruses. Phylogenetic analysis of G6 DNA-A and selected begomoviruses showed that G6 was most closely related to CLCuMV isolates, and they clustered together as a separate branch. Satellite DNA molecule (G6 DNAbeta) was found to be associated with G6 using the primers beta01 and beta02. G6 DNAbeta contains 1346 nucleotides, with a potential functional ORF (C1) in complementary sense DNA. Pairwise comparison indicated that G6 DNAbeta had the highest sequence identities with CLCuMV DNAbeta (92.1%) and CLCuRV DNAbeta (88.7%), but less than 80% sequence identities with other reported satellite DNA molecules. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that G6 DNAbeta was most closely related to CLCuMV DNAbeta and the two DNAbetas clustered together as a separate branch, and formed the main branch with DNAbeta of CLCuRV and MYVV-Y47. It is concluded that G6 infecting Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is an isolate of CLCuMV.
