    Abstract This study assessed the performance of the BioFire Blood Culture Identification 2 (BCID2) panel in identifying microorganisms and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles in positive blood cultures (BCs) and its influence on turnaround time (TAT) compared with conventional culture methods. We obtained 117 positive BCs, of these, 102 (87.2%) were correctly identified using BCID2. The discordance was due to off-panel pathogens detected by culture (n = 13), and additional pathogens identified by BCID2 (n = 2). On-panel pathogen concordance between the conventional culture and BCID2 methods was 98.1% (102/104). The conventional method detected 19 carbapenemase-producing organisms, 14 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales, 18 methicillin-resistant

    Abstract This study was to enhance the nitrogen removal efficiency in the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process by adding sulfur-based carriers. The nitrogen removal efficiency of the control group was compared with that of the experimental group through a two-series operation of SBR1 without carrier and SBR2 with the carrier under the condition of no external carbon source. A total nitrogen (T-N) removal efficiency of 6.6%, 72.6%, and 79.9% was observed in SBR1, SBR2 (5%), and (10%), respectively. The T-N removal efficiency was improved in the system with carriers, which showed an increase in the removal efficiency of approximately 91.7%. The results suggest that the inclusion of the carrier led to an elevation in the sulfur ratio, implying an augmented surface area for sulfur-based denitrifying microorganisms. Additionally, CaCO3 contributed essential alkalinity for sulfur denitrification, thereby preventing a decline in pH. Regardless of the carrier, the efficiency of organic matter removal surpassed 89%, indicating that the sulfur-based carrier did not adversely affect the biological reaction associated with organic matter. Therefore, autotrophic denitrification was successfully performed using a sulfur carrier in the SBR process without an external carbon source, improving the nitrogen removal efficiency.

    Abstract Therapeutic resistance is an inevitable impediment towards effective cancer therapies. Evidence accumulated has shown that the signaling pathways and related factors are fundamentally responsible for therapeutic resistance via regulating diverse cellular events, such as epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), stemness, cell survival/apoptosis, autophagy, etcetera. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been identified as essential cellular components in gene regulation. The expression of ncRNAs is altered in cancer, and dysregulated ncRNAs participate in gene regulatory networks in pathological contexts. An in-depth understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying the modulation of therapeutic resistance is required to refine therapeutic benefits. This review presents an overview of the recent evidence concerning the role of human ncRNAs in therapeutic resistance, together with the feasibility of ncRNAs as therapeutic targets in pancreatic cancer.

    Abstract Five cranial nonmetric traits for sex estimation for sex estimation are classified by score according to geometry. The population of origin is one of the factors influencing cranial nonmetric traits. Moreover, among the five cranial traits, the robust traits for estimating sex varied across population. The aim of this study is to suggest the most useful method for sex estimation and demonstrate the need of a suitable method for each population.

    Abstract Nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) or washings have traditionally been used to diagnose respiratory tract infections. Reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) is widely used for rapid viral detection using samples from the upper respiratory tract. However, RT-PCR is rarely applied to sputum samples, mainly due to the viscosity of sputum. Thus, we assessed the detection rates of respiratory viruses from NPS, sputum samples, and combined NPS and sputum samples using multiplex RT-PCR (Allplex respiratory panels I, II, and III; Seegene, Seoul, South Korea). Paired NPS and sputum samples were collected from 219 patients admitted to the hospital with acute respiratory illnesses from October to December 2019. RT-PCR was performed on each sample for virus detection. Combined samples for virus detection were produced using remnant NPS and sputum samples with a positive virus signal. Respiratory viral nucleic acid was identified in 92 (42%) of 219 patients. Among the 92 viral detections, 61 (28%) were detected by both NPS and sputum samples. Twenty-four (11%) were sputum positive/NPS negative, and seven (3%) were sputum negative/NPS positive. For the combined NPS-sputum samples (

    Abstract Background: Understanding the immune response to evolving viral strains is crucial for evidence-informed public health strategies. The main objective of this study is to assess the influence of vaccination on the neutralizing activity of SARS-CoV-2 delta and omicron infection against various SARS-CoV-2 variants.
    Methods: A total of 97 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases were included. To assess the influence of vaccination on neutralizing activity, we measured the neutralizing activity of SARS-CoV-2 delta or omicron (BA.1 or BA.2) infection against wild-type (WT), delta, BA.1, and BA.2, with the results stratified based on vaccination status.
    Results: The neutralizing activity against the WT, delta, and omicron variants (BA.1 and BA.2) was significantly higher in the vaccinated patients than those in the unvaccinated patients. In the unvaccinated individuals infected with the delta variant, the decrease in binding to BA.1 and BA.2 was statistically significant (3.9- and 2.7-fold, respectively) compared to the binding to delta. In contrast, vaccination followed by delta breakthrough infection improved the cross-neutralizing activity against omicron variants, with only 1.3- and 1.2-fold decreases in BA.1 and BA.2, respectively. Vaccination followed by infection improved cross-neutralizing activity against WT, delta, and BA.2 variants in patients infected with the BA.1 variant, compared to that in unvaccinated patients.
    Conclusions: Vaccination followed by delta or BA.1 infection is associated with improved cross-neutralizing activity against different SARS-CoV-2 variants. The enhanced protection provided by breakthrough infections could have practical implications for optimizing vaccination strategies.
