    Abstract H + /K + ATPase Type 2 is an heteromeric membrane protein involved in cation transmembrane transport and consists of two subunits: a specific α subunit (ATP12A) and a non-specific β subunit. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the presence and establish the localization of ATP12A in spermatozoa from Bubalus bubalis , Bos taurus and Ovis aries . Immunoblotting revealed, in all three species, a major band (100 kDa) corresponding to the expected molecular mass. The ATP12A immunolocalization pattern showed, consistently in the three species, a strong signal at the acrosome. These results, described here for the first time in spermatozoa, are consistent with those observed for the β 1 subunit of Na + /K + ATPase, suggesting that the latter may assemble with the α subunit to produce a functional ATP12A dimer in sperm cells. The above scenario appeared to be nicely supported by 3D comparative modeling and interaction energy calculations. The expression of ATP12A during different stages of bovine sperm maturation progressively increased, moving from epididymis to deferent ducts. Based on overall results, we hypothesize that ATP12A may play a role in acrosome reactions. Further studies will be required in order to address the functional role of this target protein in sperm physiology.

    Abstract Introduction: Noninvasive assessment of corpus atrophic gastritis (CAG), a condition at increased risk of gastric cancer, is based on the measurement of pepsinogens, gastrin, and Helicobacter pylori antibodies. Parietal cell autoantibodies (PCAs) against the gastric proton pump (ATP4) are potential serological biomarkers of CAG. The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of PCA and pepsinogen I tests in patients with clinical suspicion of CAG with the histopathological evaluation of gastric biopsies as reference standard.
    Methods: A prospective case-finding study was performed on 218 naive adult patients (131 women, median age 65 years) who underwent gastric biopsies to confirm/exclude CAG. Patients with histopathological CAG were defined as cases, conversely as controls. Autoantibodies against the individual alpha (ATP4A) and beta (ATP4B) subunits of ATP4 were measured by luciferase immunoprecipitation, and global PCA and pepsinogen I by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
    Results: Histopathology classified 107 subjects (49%) as cases (CAG+, autoimmune 81.2%, and multifocal extensive 18.8%) and 111 subjects (51%) as controls (CAG-). In cases, ATP4A, ATP4B, and PCA titers were increased compared with controls, whereas pepsinogen I was reduced (P < 0.0001 for all). ATP4B, ATP4A, and pepsinogen I tests showed sensitivities of 77%, 75%, and 73% and specificities of 88%, 88%, and 80%, respectively. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under the ROC curve (AUC) of these serological biomarkers confirmed their ability to discriminate cases from controls (ATP4B = 0.838, ATP4A = 0.826, pepsinogen I = 0.775, and PCA = 0.805), whereas the partial ROC-pAUC90 analysis showed that the ATP4B test had the best diagnostic performance (P = 0.008 vs ATP4; P = 0.0002 vs pepsinogen I). The presence of autoimmune or extensive gastritis was not significantly different between ATP4B positive or negative cases (P = 0.217).
    Discussion: PCAs are promising serological biomarkers for the identification of CAG in high-risk individuals, particularly in an autoimmune pattern but also in an extensive-multifocal atrophy pattern.

    Abstract The Luciferase Immuno Precipitation System (LIPS) enables the detection of specific serum antibodies by immunoprecipitation of recombinant antigens tagged with a luciferase reporter. Here we describe LIPS assays for the quantification of autoantibodies to the H+, K+-ATPase A (ATP4A) and B (ATP4B) subunits, two serological markers of autoimmune atrophic gastritis and pernicious anemia. In particular, we will describe the expression of luciferase-tagged recombinant ATP4A and ATP4B, their immunoprecipitation with test sera, the recovery and washing of immune-complexes with a protein-A coated resin, and the quantification of autoantibodies by addition of a luciferase substrate and the measurement of the light output from captured luciferase-tagged antigens.

    Abstract Objectives: Circulating autoantibodies targeting the H+/K+-ATPase proton pump of gastric parietal cells are considered markers of autoimmune gastritis, whose diagnostic accuracy in atrophic body gastritis, the pathological lesion of autoimmune gastritis, remains unknown. This study aimed to assess autoantibodies against ATP4A and ATP4B subunits of parietal cells H+, K+-ATPase in atrophic body gastritis patients and controls.
    Methods: One-hundred and four cases with atrophic body gastritis and 205 controls were assessed for serological autoantibodies specific for ATP4A or ATP4B subunits using luminescent immunoprecipitation system (LIPS). Recombinant luciferase-reporter-fused-antigens were expressed by in vitro transcription-translation (ATP4A) or after transfection in Expi293F cells (ATP4B), incubated with test sera, and immune complexes recovered using protein-A-sepharose. LIPS assays were compared with a commercial enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for parietal cell autoantibodies.
    Results: ATP4A and ATP4B autoantibody titers were higher in cases compared to controls (P<0.0001). The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve was 0.98 (95% CI 0.965-0.996) for ATP4A, and 0.99 (95% CI 0.979-1.000) for ATP4B, both higher as compared with that of EIA: 0.86 (95% CI 0.809-0.896), P<0.0001. Sensitivity-specificity were 100-89% for ATP4A and 100-90% for ATP4B assay. Compared with LIPS, EIA for parietal cell autoantibodies showed a lower sensitivity (72%, P<0.0001) at a similar specificity (92%, P=0.558).
    Conclusions: Positivity to both, ATP4A and ATP4B autoantibodies is closely associated with atrophic body gastritis. Both assays had the highest sensitivity, at the cost of diagnostic accuracy (89 and 90% specificity), outperforming traditional EIA. Once validated, these LIPS assays should be valuable screening tools for detecting biomarkers of damaged atrophic oxyntic mucosa.

    Abstract Introduction: Current literature on stingray envenomations focuses on the incidence, presentation, and complications of these injuries, with some studies providing such data for specific geographic locations. This is the first study to evaluate the influence of environmental factors and human characteristics on stingray envenomation patterns in San Diego, California.
    Methods: Incident reports of injuries documented by the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department/Lifeguard Division (SDFR-LG) during 2017 were analyzed. Water temperature and tide height were populated based on date and time. Data was analyzed for associations between stingray injuries incidence and tide height, water temperature, time, month, age and sex of the injured person, and whether they were local.
    Results: 1722 stingray injuries were reported to the SDFR-LG in 2017. Stingray injuries were associated with water temperature (p < 0.001), more frequently occurring between 18.8 °C and 19.5 °C. Most envenomations occurred at tide heights between 1.7 ft and 3.1 ft. Most victims were aged 20-29, and there were more males than females injured. Beaches separated from the greater ocean or with a reef bottom had a lower incidence. Stingray injuries were more frequent during summer months. More stingray envenomations were documented for out-of-town beachgoers.
    Conclusions: Beachgoers with certain characteristics had more reported stingray envenomations than others. Males, nonlocal beachgoers, and individuals in their twenties had more injuries than their counterparts. Stingray injuries were more common at water temperatures between 18.8 and 19.5 °C. These findings may lead to future research on the prevention of stingray injuries.

    Abstract Skin cancer is the leading malignancy in immunosuppressed patients, including organ transplant recipients (OTRs), which is increasing in incidence as OTRs live longer. We performed a single-center case series of 4 patients with scalp pleomorphic dermal sarcoma and a history of multiple keratinocyte carcinomas. Outcomes included incidence of dermal sarcoma, dermal sarcoma-related mortality, and histopathologic findings. Out of more than 200 patients followed over a 3-year period in Massachusetts General Hospital High Risk Skin Cancer Clinics, all skin cancer-related deaths (2/2) were due to metastatic dermal sarcoma. Three of 4 patients diagnosed with scalp dermal sarcoma were OTRs and had been on at least one immunosuppressive medication for a median of 9 years. For patients who died from dermal sarcoma, the median time between diagnosis and death was 6 months. Our findings suggest pleomorphic dermal sarcoma contributes to skin cancer-related morbidity and mortality in OTRs.

    Abstract The oxidation of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC), known as oxi-mCs, garners significant interest in plants as potential epigenetic marks. While research in mammals has established a role in cell reprogramming, carcinogenesis and gene regulation, their functions in plants remain unclear. In rice, 5hmC has been associated with transposable elements and heterochromatin. This study utilizes Silene latifolia, a dioecious plant with heteromorphic sex chromosomes and a genome with a large proportion of transposable elements, which provides a favourable environment for the study of oxi-mCs in individual sexes. Notably, we detected surprisingly high levels of oxi-mCs in S. latifolia comparable to mammals. Nuclei showed enrichment in heterochromatic regions, except for 5hmC which signal was homogeneously distributed. Intriguingly, the same X chromosome in females displayed overall enrichment of 5hmC and 5fC regarding its counterpart. This fact is shared with 5mC resembling dosage compensation. Colocalization showed higher correlation between 5mC and 5fC than with 5hmC, suggesting no potential relationship between 5hmC and 5fC. Additionally, the promoter of several sex-linked genes and sex biased TEs gathered on a clear sex-dependent clustering. Together, these findings unveil a hypothetical role of oxi-mCs in S. latifolia sex chromosome development, warranting further exploration.

    Abstract Background: Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a potentially organ and life-threatening condition affecting patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Cases of proteasome inhibitor-induced TMA and specifically carfilzomib-induced TMA have been rarely reported and standards for diagnostic workup and treatment are not available.
    Case presentation: We describe a case of a male MM patient under salvage therapy including proteasome inhibitor carfilzomib following chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. The patient then developed acute kidney injury with clinical and laboratory signs of TMA. Hemodialysis became necessary and treatment with plasma exchange was initiated followed by therapy with C5 complement inhibitor eculizumab which led to amelioration of kidney function and hemolysis parameters.
    Conclusion: We report a patient with suspected proteasome inhibitor-induced secondary thrombotic microangiopathy that has been successfully treated with plasma exchange and eculizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting complement factor C5.

    Abstract Abstract: Anderson, OK, Martinez-Ferran, M, Lorenzo-Calvo, J, Jiménez, SL, and Pareja-Galeano, H. Effects of nitrate supplementation on muscle strength and mass: a systematic review. J Strength Cond Res 36(12): 3562-3570, 2022-This systematic review examines the effect of dietary nitrate supplementation (SUP) on muscle strength and hypertrophy when combined with physical exercise. The databases PubMed, Web of Science, and MEDLINE were searched for full-text articles published between January 2000 and June 2020. For inclusion, studies had to report on the effects of SUP administered as acute or chronic doses together with a standardized exercise protocol on muscle strength and hypertrophy compared with placebo in healthy adults who were sedentary, physically active, or professional athletes. Twelve studies (1,571 subjects) were finally selected. In 5 studies, the SUP regime was acute, and in 7, it was chronic. SUP was nitrate-rich beetroot juice in 9 studies, a potassium nitrate capsule in 1, and increased dietary nitrate in 2. Ingested nitrate was 64-1,200 mg. Of the 12 studies, 6 observed an ergogenic effect of SUP compared with placebo. These findings indicate that muscle strength gains are possible provided the dose, format, frequency, period, and exercise test are appropriate. Best results were observed with a minimum acute dose of 400 mg of nitrate provided as beetroot juice/shot taken 2-2.5 hours before exercise involving low- and high-intensity muscle contractions. This SUP regime seems to improve muscle efficiency in terms of reduced phosphocreatine and energy costs (P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy) and improved time to exhaustion.

    Abstract A survey of the surf flies (Canacinae) of the main Mascarene Islands of La Réunion, Mauritius, and Rodrigues was undertaken between 2015 and 2018. It encompassed intertidal material from 38 sampling stations on the islands and included records supplied by Martin J. Ebejer from La Réunion. No specimens of surf flies were collected on Rodrigues Is., which lacks suitable rocky shore habitats. A new species of Isocanace Mathis, 1982, that is deemed closely related to I. briani Mathis, 1982 described from Aldabra Is. and Madagascar, is described and figured from Mauritius (I. mauritiana Munari sp. nov.). Nocticanace mahensis (Lamb, 1912) is also reported from La Réunion and Mauritius and Procanace pninae Mathis Freidberg, 1991 from Mauritius (all representing first records for the islands concerned). The Procanace grisescens species-group is also reported from Mauritius for the first time, representing a first record of this species-group from the Mascarenes. An identification key to Afrotropical species of Isocanace is provided and the distributions of all species are mapped.
