    Abstract The microalgae Isochrysis galbana and Chaetoceros gracilis are part of the basic diet of most bivalve cultures. This study evaluated the supplementation of bacterial strains naturally associated with these microalgae to improve their productivity. Ten bacterial strains collected from I. galbana and C. gracilis commercial cultures used in the larviculture of the Peruvian scallop Argopecten purpuratus were isolated and purified. These strains were individually coinoculated to each microalgal culture to confirm their promoter effect on growth. First, inoculation was carried out in a volume of 500 mL with constant aeration, which allowed the selection of the best bacterial strains. Then, the culture growth performance after transfer from 500 mL to 2 L tanks, with and without bacterial reinoculation during transfer, was monitored. Two bacterial strains, Lysinibacillus fusiformis and Bacillus cereus, significantly improved (α = .05) I. galbana production, whereas three other strains, Lysinibacillus sp., Psychrobacter celer, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus, significantly increased (α = .05) the growth of the C. gracilis culture. The use of microalgae supplemented with bacteria did not significantly affect A. purpuratus larval rearing. Altogether, these results showed the potential of native probiotic bacteria to improve microalgal production within bivalve hatcheries.

    Abstract Objective: To assess whether a correlation exists between different sperm pathologies and Intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI) outcomes.
    Study design: A retrospective cohort study which included couples with recurrent implantation failures (2 or more unsuccessful IVF-ICSI cycles) undergoing their first IVF-IMSI cycle in Hebrew-University Hadassah Medical Center between January 2008 and May 2017.
    Results: A total of 170 couples with at least two IVF failures attempting their first IVF-IMSI cycle were included, of them 56 (32.9%) achieved a clinical pregnancy. No correlation was found between clinical pregnancy and a specific abnormal semen parameter. However, a positive correlation with clinical pregnancy was demonstrated when all three semen parameters were abnormal (OR-3.33, p = 0.015).
    Conclusions: Our findings suggest that IMSI procedure may be more efficient in severe compound sperm pathologies than in patients with one abnormal sperm parameter. Future prospective trials are required to reinforce these findings and allow formation of clear indications for IMSI.

    Abstract The natural alkaloid berberine has several pharmacological properties and recently received attention as a potential anticancer agent. In this work, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-tumor effect of berberine on glioblastoma U343 and pancreatic carcinoma MIA PaCa-2 cells. Human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) were used as non-cancer cells. We show that berberine differentially affects cell viability, displaying a higher cytotoxicity on the two cancer cell lines than on HDF. Berberine also affects cell cycle progression, senescence, caspase-3 activity, autophagy and migration in a cell-specific manner. In particular, in HDF it induces cell cycle arrest in G2 and senescence, but not autophagy; in the U343 cells, berberine leads to cell cycle arrest in G2 and induces both senescence and autophagy; in MIA PaCa-2 cells, the alkaloid induces arrest in G1, senescence, autophagy, it increases caspase-3 activity and impairs migration/invasion. As demonstrated by decreased citrate synthase activity, the three cell lines show mitochondrial dysfunction following berberine exposure. Finally, we observed that berberine modulates the expression profile of genes involved in different pathways of tumorigenesis in a cell line-specific manner. These findings have valuable implications for understanding the complex functional interactions between berberine and specific cell types.

    Abstract Oral problems are common in patients diagnosed with Eating Disorders (ED) and still require better elucidation. We aimed to analyze the prevalence of oral Candida spp in individuals with ED. The sample of the study was comprised of 30 women with purgative habits and 15 without purgative habits. Samples of the oral cavity were collected by sterile cotton swab rubbed on soft tissues and teeth. Yeasts were isolated on Sabouraud dextrose agar. Yeasts were isolated from the oral cavity of 53% of the patients yielding 75 yeast isolates; of these, 43 were identified by conventional mycological methods: C. parapsilosis (n=19), C. glabrata (n=16), Rhodotorula sp (n= 6), C. famata (n=2). The remaining 32 isolates were presumptively identified as C. albicans or C. dubliniensis and required mass spectrometry for the final differentiation: 28 isolates were confirmed as C. albicans and four as C. dubliniensis. Among the control group, only four subjects (26.7%) were found to harbor C. albicans. The four C. dubliniensis isolates were from two patients, one that was only colonized and the other, with severe ED, was diagnosed with an oral candidiasis as demonstrated by the presence of pseudohyphae on the direct mycological exam from different sites. The increased rate of isolation of non-albicans species, such as C. glabrata, C. parapsilosis, and C. dubliniensis in the oral cavity from ED patients with nutritional deficiency may suggest that purgative habits of these patients can lead to changes in normal flora and predispose to oral candidiasis.

    Abstract The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of existing pharmacological models of canine dermatitis. Canine models of dermatitis have contributed significantly to our current understanding of the pathology of dermatitis and to the development of corresponding pharmacological interventions. Specifically, canine atopic dermatitis (AD) is reviewed here, as it is one of the most common inflammatory skin diseases in dogs. Canine AD also shares clinicopathological features with human AD, making the dog a natural and optimal model for human disease. Thus, pharmacological models of canine AD may be uniquely applicable to human pharmacological research. In this article, particular attention is dedicated to relevant in vivo, in vitro, and ex vivo models of canine AD, skin barrier defect models, pruritus models, and skin immunology models. Additionally, models of superficial pyoderma and food allergy are also discussed. With understanding of findings from canine models, researchers can select the most salient features for future pharmacological drug development. © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

    Abstract Introduction: The septal area provides a rich innervation to the hippocampus regulating hippocampal excitability to different behavioral states and modulating theta rhythmogenesis. However, little is known about the neurodevelopmental consequences of its alterations during postnatal development. The activity of the septohippocampal system is driven and/or modulated by ascending inputs, including those arising from the nucleus incertus (NI), many of which contain the neuropeptide, relaxin-3 (RLN3).
    Methods: We examined at the molecular and cellular level the ontogeny of RLN3 innervation of the septal area in postnatal rat brains.
    Results: Up until P13-15 there were only scattered fibers in the septal area, but a dense plexus had appeared by P17 that was extended and consolidated throughout the septal complex by P20. There was a decrease in the level of colocalization of RLN3 and synaptophysin between P15 and P20 that was reversed between P20 and adulthood. Biotinylated 3-kD dextran amine injections into the septum, revealed retrograde labeling present in the brainstem at P10-P13, but a decrease in anterograde fibers in the NI between P10-20. Simultaneously, a differentiation process began during P10-17, resulting in fewer NI neurons double-labeled for serotonin and RLN3.
    Discussion: The onset of the RLN3 innervation of the septum complex between P17-20 is correlated with the onset of hippocampal theta rhythm and several learning processes associated with hippocampal function. Together, these data highlight the relevance and need for further analysis of this stage for normal and pathological septohippocampal development.

    Abstract Background: Although recommendations to prevent COVID-19 healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) have been proposed, data on their effectivity are currently limited.
    Objective: The aim was to evaluate the effectivity of a program of control and prevention of COVID-19 in an academic general hospital in Spain.
    Methods: We captured the number of COVID-19 cases and the type of contact that occurred in hospitalized patients and healthcare personnel (HCP). To evaluate the impact of the continuous use of a surgical mask among HCP, the number of patients with COVID-19 HAIs and accumulated incidence of HCP with COVID-19 was compared between the preintervention and intervention periods.
    Results: Two hundred fifty-two patients with COVID-19 have been admitted to the hospital. Seven of them had an HAI origin (6 in the preintervention period and 1 in the intervention period). One hundred forty-two HCP were infected with SARS-CoV-2. Of them, 22 (15.5%) were attributed to healthcare (2 in the emergency department and none in the critical care departments), and 120 (84.5%) were attributed to social relations in the workplace or during their non-work-related personal interactions. The accumulated incidence during the preintervention period was 22.3 for every 1000 HCP and 8.2 for every 1000 HCP during the intervention period. The relative risk was 0.37 (95% confidence interval, 0.25 to 0.55) and the attributable risk was -0.014 (95% confidence interval, -0.020 to -0.009).
    Conclusions: A program of control and prevention of HAIs complemented with the recommendation for the continuous use of a surgical mask in the workplace and social environments of HCP effectively decreased the risk of COVID-19 HAIs in admitted patients and HCP.

    Abstract Purpose: Molecular classification of endometrial cancer (EC) has become a promising information to tailor preoperatively the surgical treatment. We aimed to evaluate the rate of lymph node metastases (LNM) in patients with EC according to molecular profile.
    Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed according to PRISMA guidelines by searching in two major electronic databases (PubMed and Scopus), including original articles reporting lymph node metastases according to the molecular classification of EC as categorized in the ESGO-ESMO-ESP guidelines.
    Results: Fifteen studies enrolling 3056 patients were included. Pooled prevalence LNM when considering only patients undergoing lymph node assessment was 4% for POLE-mutated (95%CI: 0-12%), 22% for no specific molecular profile (95% CI: 9-39%), 23% for Mismatch repair-deficiency (95%CI: 10-40%) and 31% for p53-abnormal (95%CI: 24-39%).
    Conclusions: The presence of LNM seems to be influenced by molecular classification. P53-abnormal group presents the highest rate of nodal involvement, and POLE-mutated the lowest.

    Abstract Objectives: To report the case of a patient with a prenatal diagnosis of jejunal atresia and to review the literature regarding the results and prenatal diagnosis of this entity, implementing the use of non-conventional methods (3D ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging).
    Material and methods: Report of a case of an 18-year-old pregnant woman referred to the Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Genetics and Reproduction Unit of the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville due to fetus with abdominal peristaltic cystic image, consistent with jejunal atresia, confirmed with 3D HDLive mode ultrasound. A bibliographic search was carried out in Medline/PubMed, Google Scholar and LILACS, restricting by type of language (English and Spanish) and date of publication (January 1995 to June 2020). Primary studies of reports and case series relating to the outcome and prenatal diagnosis of this pathology were included.
    Results: The search identified 1,033 titles, of which four studies met the inclusion criteria, these being reports or case series. A total of twelve fetuses with a prenatal diagnosis of jejunal atresia detected with unconventional methods were reported. In all cases, the prenatal diagnosis was confirmed during the neonatal period, which required resection of the compromised segment; one of them died and two neonates developed short bowel syndrome because of a wide bowel resection. The postoperative course in the remaining cases was favorable.
    Conclusion: The available literature on the prenatal diagnosis of jejunal atresia using non-conventional methods is scarce and is limited to case reports or case series. The literature reviewed suggests that, in the presence of intestinal dilation, 3D ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging could be of some use in characterizing the atretic portion and establishing the differential diagnosis. More studies are required to evaluate the diagnostic utility of these two alternatives.
