    Abstract Aims: The use of metagenomics for pathogen identification in clinical practice has been limited. Here we describe a workflow to encourage the clinical utility and potential of NGS for the screening of bacteria, fungi, and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs).
    Methods and results: The method includes target enrichment, long-read sequencing, and automated bioinformatics. Evaluation of several tools and databases was undertaken across standard organisms (n = 12), clinical isolates (n = 114), and blood samples from patients with suspected bloodstream infections (n = 33). The strategy used could offset the presence of host background DNA, error rates of long-read sequencing, and provide accurate and reproducible detection of pathogens. Eleven targets could be successfully tested in a single assay. Organisms could be confidently identified considering ≥60% of best hits of a BLAST-based threshold of e-value 0.001 and a percent identity of >80%. For ARGs, reads with percent identity of >90% and >60% overlap of the complete gene could be confidently annotated. A kappa of 0.83 was observed compared to standard diagnostic methods. Thus, a workflow for the direct-from-sample, on-site sequencing combined with automated genomics was demonstrated to be reproducible.
    Conclusion: NGS-based technologies overcome several limitations of current day diagnostics. Highly sensitive and comprehensive methods of pathogen screening are the need of the hour. We developed a framework for reliable, on-site, screening of pathogens.

    Abstract Introduction: Self-reported measures of immunosuppression adherence have been largely examined in research settings.
    Methods: In this single center study of 610 kidney transplant recipients, we examined if a voluntary, non-anonymous self-report measure could identify non-adherence in a routine clinic setting and how patients perceived such a measure. Non-adherence was measured using the Basel Assessment of Adherence to Immunosuppressive Medications Scale (BAASIS) and patient perception was elicited using a customized questionnaire.
    Results: Non-responders to the survey (15%) were younger, more likely to be black, and less likely to have had a pre-emptive transplant. Among complete responders (n = 485), 38% reported non-adherence with non-adherent patients being younger (54 y vs. 60 y; p = .01), less likely to have been on dialysis pre-transplant (59% vs. 68%; p = .04), further out from transplant (37 vs. 22 months; p < .001) and had more rejections in the preceding year (8% vs. 3%; p = .02). Self-reported non-adherence was associated with higher calcineurin inhibitor intra-patient variability (27.4% vs. 24.5%; p = .02), but not with donor-specific antibody detection (27.8% vs. 21.2%, p = .15). Of patients providing feedback (n = 500), the majority of patients felt comfortable reporting adherence (92%), that the survey was relevant to their visit (71%), and that the survey did not interfere with their clinic visit (88%).
    Conclusion: In summary, a self-reported questionnaire during clinic visits identified immunosuppression non-adherence in a significant proportion of patients and was well received by patients. Integrating self-report measures into routine post-transplant care may enable early identification of non-adherence.

    Abstract Phytochemical survey of the methanol extract of the dried aerial parts of Andrographis paniculata led to the isolation of major labdane diterpenes, namely 14-deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide, andrographolide and neoandrographolide. Andrographolide was found to be the major phytoconstituent of the plant which was biologically active. For better physiochemical characteristics and bioefficacy, andrographolide is subjected to semi-synthetic modifications. However, presence of several free hydroxyl groups associated with this molecule make it quite polar and poorly soluble in many organic solvents and hence unsuitable for synthetic modifications. One way of resolving its solubility issue is to protect 1,3-diol quantitatively under mild reaction condition without effecting other functional groups. Reaction conditions were optimised using different solvent systems and catalysts towards this direction. X-ray structure of 3,19-isopropylidene-14-deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide is being reported here for the first time. Isolated compounds and derivatives were confirmed by spectral analysis or X-ray data analysis.

    Abstract Differential outcomes of EphB4-ephrinB2 signaling offers formidable challenge for the development of cancer therapeutics. Here, we interrogate the effects of targeting EphB4 and ephrinB2 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and within its microenvironment using genetically engineered mice, recombinant constructs, pharmacologic agonists and antagonists. We observe that manipulating the EphB4 intracellular domain on cancer cells accelerates tumor growth and angiogenesis. EphB4 cancer cell loss also triggers compensatory upregulation of EphA4 and T regulatory cells (Tregs) influx and their targeting results in reversal of accelerated tumor growth mediated by EphB4 knockdown. EphrinB2 knockout on cancer cells and vasculature, on the other hand, results in maximal tumor reduction and vascular normalization. We report that EphB4 agonism provides no additional anti-tumoral benefit in the absence of ephrinB2. These results identify ephrinB2 as a tumor promoter and its receptor, EphB4, as a tumor suppressor in HNSCC, presenting opportunities for rational drug design.

    Abstract EphrinB2 and its receptor EphB4 are highly expressed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and disrupting EphB4-ephrinB2 interaction generates sub-optimal outcomes. Here, compartmental targeting of EphB4 and ephrinB2 in HNSCC cancer cell and endothelial compartments suggests that ephrinB2 acts as a tumor promoter and EphB4 as a tumor suppressor.
