With the high prevalence of COVID-19 infections worldwide, the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A) is becoming an increasingly recognized entity. This syndrome presents in patients several weeks after infection with COVID-19 and is associated with thrombosis, elevated inflammatory markers, hemodynamic compromise and cardiac dysfunction. Treatment is often with steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). The pathologic basis of myocardial injury in MIS-A, however, is not well characterized. In our case report, we obtained endomyocardial biopsy that revealed a pattern of myocardial injury similar to that found in COVID-19 cardiac specimens.

A 26-year-old male presented with fevers, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea 5weeks after his COVID-19 infection. His SARS-CoV-2 PCR was negative and IgG was positive, consistent with prior infection. He was found to be in cardiogenic shock with biventricular failure, requiring inotropes and diuretics. Given concern for acute fulminant mcation of MIS-A and guided therapy. The patient's biventricular function recovered with IVIg and steroids.

In the pharmaceutical industry, competing for few validated drug targets there is a drive to identify new ways of therapeutic intervention. Here, we attempted to define guidelines to evaluate a target's 'fitness' based on its node characteristics within annotated protein functional networks to complement contingent therapeutic hypotheses.

We observed that targets of approved, selective small molecule drugs exhibit high node centrality within protein networks relative to a broader set of investigational targets spanning various development stages. Targets of approved drugs also exhibit higher centrality than other proteins within their respective functional class. These findings expand on previous reports of drug targets' network centrality by suggesting some centrality metrics such as low topological coefficient as inherent characteristics of a 'good' target, relative to other exploratory targets and regardless of its functional class. These centrality metrics could thus be indicators of an individual protein's 'fitness' as potential drug target. Correlations between protein nodes' network centrality and number of associated publications underscored the possibility of knowledge bias as an inherent limitation to such predictions.

Despite some entanglement with knowledge bias, like structure-oriented 'druggability' assessments of new protein targets, centrality metrics could assist early pharmaceutical discovery teams in evaluating potential targets with limited experimental proof of concept and help allocate resources for an effective drug discovery pipeline.

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oil and economic crop. Calcium modulates plants in response to abiotic stresses and improves plant resistance to pathogens. Enrichment of beneficial microorganisms in the rhizosphere is associated with plant disease resistance and soil development. The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in peanut rhizosphere microbial community structure between the calcium treatment and the control during two growth stages and to explain why calcium application could improve the resistance of peanuts to soil-borne pathogens.

The 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing of rhizosphere microbiome showed that calcium application significantly enriched Serratia marcescens and other three dominant strains at the seedling stage. At the pod filling stage, ten dominant stains such as Sphingomonas changbaiensis and Novosphingobium panipatense were enriched by calcium. Serratia marcescens aseptic fermentation filtrate was mixed with PDA medium and inoculated with the main soil-borne pathogens in the seedling stage, which could inhibit the growth of Fusarium solani and Aspergillus flavus. The aseptic fermentation filtrate of Novosphingobium panipatense was mixed with PDA medium and inoculated with the main soil-borne pathogens in the pod filling stage, which could inhibit the growth of Sclerotium rolfsii and Leptosphaerulina arachidicola.

Calcium application increases the resistance of peanuts to soil-borne pathogens by enriching them with specific dominant bacteria.

Phylogenetic profiling is widely used to predict novel members of large protein complexes and biological pathways. Although methods combined with phylogenetic trees have significantly improved prediction accuracy, computational efficiency is still an issue that limits its genome-wise application.

Here we introduce a new tree-based phylogenetic profiling algorithm named GFICLEE, which infers common single and continuous loss (SCL) events in the evolutionary patterns. We validated our algorithm with human pathways from three databases and compared the computational efficiency with current tree-based with 10 different scales genome dataset. Our algorithm has a better predictive performance with high computational efficiency.

The GFICLEE is a new method to infers genome-wide gene function. The accuracy and computational efficiency of GFICLEE make it possible to explore gene functions at the genome-wide level on a personal computer.

Intraoperative blood salvage (IBS) is regarded as an alternative to allogeneic blood transfusion excluding the risks associated with allogeneic blood. Currently, IBS is generally avoided in tumor surgeries due to concern for potential metastasis caused by residual tumor cells in the erythrocyte concentrate.

The feasibility, efficacy and safety aspects of the new developed Catuvab procedure using the bispecific trifunctional antibody Catumaxomab was investigated in an ex-vivo pilot study in order to remove residual EpCAM positive tumor cells from the autologous erythrocyte concentrates (EC) from various cancer patients, generated by a IBS device.

Tumor cells in intraoperative blood were detected in 10 of 16 patient samples in the range of 69-2.6 × 10

but no residual malignant cells in the final erythrocyte concentrates after Catuvab procedure. IL-6 and IL-8 as pro-inflammatory cytokines released during surgery, were lowered in mean 28-fold and 52-fold during the Catuvab procedure, respectively, whereasthese encouraging results.

To explore the determinants of incident hypertension, and especially the impact of baseline blood pressure categories, in a representative Swedish population.

A 10-year longitudinal study of residents aged 30-74. Blood pressures were measured and categorized according to ESH guidelines with optimal blood pressure < 120/80mmHg, normal 120-129/80-84mmHg, and high normal 130-139/85-89mmHg. Incident hypertension was defined as ongoing treatment or three consecutive blood pressure readings ≥ 140/ ≥ 90mmHg (one or both) at follow-up, while those with ≥ 140 and/or ≥ 90mmHg at only one or two visits were labelled as unstable. After excluding subjects with hypertension, ongoing blood pressure lowering medication or a previous CVD event at baseline, 1099 remained for further analyses.

Sixteen (2.6%) subjects with optimal baseline blood pressure had hypertension at follow up. Corresponding numbers for subjects with normal, high normal and unstable blood pressure were 55 (19.4%), 50 (39.1%) and 46 (74.2%), respectively. Compared with subjects in optimal group those in normal, high normal and unstable blood pressure categories had significantly higher risk to develop manifest hypertension with odds ratios OR and (95% CI) of 7.04 (3.89-12.7), 17.1 (8.88-33.0) and 84.2 (37.4-190), respectively, with adjustment for age, BMI and family history for hypertension. The progression to hypertension was also independently predicted by BMI (p < 0.001), however, not by age.

Subjects with high normal or unstable blood pressure should be identified in clinical practice, evaluated for global hypertension risk and offered personalized advice on lifestyle modification for early prevention of manifest hypertension and cardiovascular disease.

The goal of every emergency department is to provide the highest quality services in the shortest time using limited resources. However, occupational violence is so prevalent among pre-hospital paramedic personnel that some experts claim that it is impossible to find pre-hospital personnel without an experience of violence in the workplace. Therefore, it seems necessary to investigate the causes of violence among this population group and find ways to control it.

The present study aimed to investigate the Violence and influencing factors among paramedic pre-hospital personnel.

This qualitative study was conducted to explore the views of a group of pre-hospital paramedic personnel (n = 45) selected through purposive sampling. The data was collected through in-depth and semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman's conventional content analysis methods. The trial version of MAXQDA 16 software was used to manage the coding process.

Based on the results of the analysis of data colls issue and, instead, take measures, for instance hold workshops, to train personnel about the techniques of anger and violence control.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease dependent upon a complex interaction between genetic predisposition and immunological factors. It is characterized by skin lesions throughout the body, causing great morbidity and affecting life quality. The present study aimed to evaluate the protein and mRNA expression of heparanase-1 (HPSE), heparanase-2 (HPSE2), syndecan-1 (SYND1), metalloproteinases (MMP2, MMP9), and tissue inhibitor metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP2) in skin samples.

From each psoriasis patient, two samples were collected, one sample from a psoriasis plaque (n = 23) and the other sample from non-affected skin (n = 23), as well as tissue collected by blepharoplasty from control individuals (n = 18). Protein expression was investigated by immunohistochemistry, followed by digital quantification. Quantitative RT-PCR obtained mRNA expression. Statistical analyses were done, and p values < 0.05 were considered significant.

A significant increase in protein and mRNA expression was observed in botracellular matrix in psoriasis. The increased expression of HPSE2, SYND1, MMP9, and TIMP2, even in the absence of psoriatic plaque, indicates that these molecules may be involved with extracellular matrix changes in the initial alterations the psoriatic process and may be candidates for the development of target treatments.
