Tenacibaculosis caused by Tenacibaculum dicentrarchi is the third most important bacterial fish infection affecting the Chilean salmon industry. Losses to this disease are most frequently controlled by treatments with florfenicol and oxytetracycline. However, recent tenacibaculosis outbreaks were controlled through the extra-label, oral administration of tiamulin, resulting in high treatment efficiency. In this study, we present an analysis of susceptibility patterns of 32 T. dicentrarchi isolates and the type strain CECT 7612T to tiamulin by determining the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) according to the procedures recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute, but fixing incubation temperature to the more appropriate for the growth of T. dicentrarchi (18 ºC). The MICs of the T. dicentrarchi isolates were unimodally distributed (0.06-1.0 µg/ml range), while the CECT 7612T strain presented an MIC of 0.5 μg/ml. Calculations using Normalized Resistance Interpretation provided epidemiological cut-off values of ≤1.0 µg/ml, with the 33 T. dicentrarchi classified as wild type. In Chile, tiamulin is authorized for use in other livestock species, but application in salmonids is extra-label. Our presented in vitro results suggest that tiamulin is a viable alternative to florfenicol, specifically as tiamulin requires comparatively lower concentrations to inhibit T. dicentrarchi. Considering that tiamulin is also exclusively for veterinary use, is classified as "least important" by the World Health Organization and has not resulted in the development of bacterial resistance, pharmaceutical companies should be requested to register tiamulin and provide alternative antimicrobial treatments for the salmonid industry.

Knowing the patterns of brain activation that occur and networks involved under different interventions is important for motor recovery in subjects with stroke. This study aimed to study the patterns of brain activation and networks in two interventions, affected upper limb side and bilateral exercise training, using concurrent functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) imaging.

Thirty-two patients in the early subacute stage were randomly divided into two groups unilateral and bilateral groups. The patients in the unilateral group underwent isokinetic muscle strength training on the affected upper limb side and patients in the bilateral group underwent bilateral upper limb training. Oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin concentration changes (ΔHbO

and ΔHbR, respectively) were recorded in the ipsilateral and contralateral prefrontal cortex (IPFC and CPFC, respectively) and ipsilateral and contralateral motor cortex (IMC and CMC, respectively) by fNIRS equipment in the resting state and training conditionifted local efficiency.

The results indicated that unilateral upper limb training could more effectively promote the interaction and balance of bilateral motor hemispheres and help brain reorganization in the IMC and prefrontal cortex in stroke patients. The method provided in this study could be used to evaluate dynamic brain activation and network reorganization under different interventions, thus improving the strategy of rehabilitation intervention in a timely manner and resulting in better motor recovery.

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC×GC-qMS)-based untargeted metabolomics combined with a multivariate analysis was used to investigate the dynamic variations in the aroma profile of Huangjiu during aging process and to establish the relationship between the changing volatile metabolite profiles and the age-dependent sensory attributes. A total of 144 volatile metabolites were identified by GC×GC-qMS and 63 were selected as critical metabolites based on variable importance in projection values and p-values. Based on the results of principal component analysis, orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis, and hierarchical clustering analysis, the samples of six different ages were divided into three groups 1Y and 3Y samples, 5Y and 8Y samples, and 10Y and 15Y samples. The partial least-squares analysis results further revealed the relationship between the aromas attributes and variations of these volatile compounds. The high esters, aldehydes, and lactones contents contributed to the high intensities of the sweet and ester aroma attributes of the aged Huangjiu, while the high alcohols and ethyl esters contents contributed to the alcoholic and fruity aroma attributes of the newly brewed Huangjiu. These results improve our understanding of the chemical nature of the aroma characteristics of aged Huangjiu. PRACTICAL APPLICATION Huangjiu is often labeled with its age as a measure of quality, which influences consumers' choice. Dynamic variations in volatile compounds of Huangjiu during aging and its contribution to the aroma characteristics of Huangjiu were figured out, which will assist the industry to produce better quality aged Huangjiu for consumers.Sexual dimorphism is a ubiquitous source of within-species variation, yet the community-level consequences of sex differences remain poorly understood. Here, we analyse a bitrophic model of two competing resource species and a sexually reproducing consumer species. We show that consumer sex differences in resource acquisition can have striking consequences for consumer-resource coexistence, abundance and dynamics. Under both direct interspecific competition and apparent competition between two resource species, sexual dimorphism in consumers' attack rates can mediate coexistence of the resource species, while in other cases can lead to exclusion when stable coexistence is typically expected. Slight sex differences in total resource acquisition also can reverse competitive outcomes and lead to density cycles. These effects are expected whenever both consumer sexes require different amounts or types of resources to reproduce. Our results suggest that consumer sexual dimorphism, which is common, has wide-reaching implications for the assembly and dynamics of natural communities.Retraction "MicroRNA-4429 restrains colorectal cancer cell invasion and migration via regulating SMAD3-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition," by Hongwen Li, Weijie Liang, Hongyu Zhang, Yifang Shui, and Zhe Zhang, J Cell Physiol. 2021; 5875-5884.

Acupuncture is frequently used to treat the side effects of cancer treatment, but the safety of this intervention remains uncertain. The current meta-analysis was conducted to assess the safety of acupuncture in oncological patients.

The PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Scopus databases were searched from their inception to August 7, 2020. Randomized controlled trials in oncological patients comparing invasive acupuncture with sham acupuncture, treatment as usual (TAU), or any other active control were eligible. Two reviewers independently extracted data on study characteristics and adverse events (AEs). Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool.

Of 4590 screened articles, 65 were included in the analyses. The authors observed that acupuncture was not associated an with increased risk of intervention-related AEs, nonserious AEs, serious AEs, or dropout because of AEs compared with sham acupuncture and an active control. Compared with TAU, acupuncture was nanalysis, acupuncture is a safe therapy for the treatment of patients with cancer. this website Acupuncture seems to be safe compared with sham acupuncture and active controls.Acquired immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare disease with a poor prognosis if undiagnosed. It is caused by autoantibody production to the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease, A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13 (ADAMTS13). Caplacizumab, an immunoglobulin directed to the platelet glycoprotein Ibα receptor of VWF, has been reported to induce quicker resolution of iTTP compared to placebo. The laboratory measurement of VWF activity was significantly reduced in clinical trials of caplacizumab. Several VWF assays are available in the UK and this study investigated whether differences in VWF parameters were present in 11 patients diagnosed with iTTP and treated with daily caplacizumab. Chromogenic factor VIII activity, VWF antigen, collagen binding activity, VWF multimers and six VWF activity assays were measured prior to caplacizumab therapy and on several occasions during treatment. VWF antigen and collagen binding activity levels were normal or borderline normal in all patients. Ultra-large molecular weight multimers were present in all patients following treatment. VWF activity assays were normal or reduced during treatment, but this was reagent and patient dependant. In the unusual scenario of a caplacizumab-treated patient requiring measurement of VWF activity, it is important that laboratories understand how their local reagents perform as results cannot be predicted.Retraction "Protection of miR-19b in hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced injury by targeting PTEN," by Wan-Gen Liu, Li-Li Han, Rong Xiang, J Cell Physiol. 2019; 16226-16237.
