    Abstract In a recent study, we identified a fucosylated damage-associated ligand exposed by ischemia on renal tubule epithelial cells, which after recognition by collectin-11 (CL-11 or collectin kidney 1 (CL-K1)), initiates complement activation and acute kidney injury. We exploited the ability to increase the local tissue concentration of free l-fucose following systemic administration, in order to block ligand binding by local CL-11 and prevent complement activation. We achieved a thirty-five-fold increase in the intrarenal concentration of l-fucose following an IP bolus given before the ischemia induction procedure - a concentration found to significantly block in vitro binding of CL-11 on hypoxia-stressed renal tubule cells. At this l-fucose dose, complement activation and acute post-ischemic kidney injury are prevented, with additional protection achieved by a second bolus after the induction procedure. CL-11

    Abstract We present five new dinuclear triple helicate compounds of types [Mn 2 L 3 ](ClO 4 ) 4 , [Co 2 L 3 ](BF 4 ) 4 , [Ni 2 L 3 ](BF 4 ) 4 , [Cu 2 L 3 ](BF 4 ) 4 , and [Zn 2 L 3 ](BF 4 ) 4 , where L is a previously reported semi-rigid ligand incorporating two α-diimine primary donor groups and two secondary 4-pyridyl donor groups. All complexes have been characterized in both solution and the solid state. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies were used to probe the variation in the respective helical structures as the coordinated metal ion was altered, including the effect on the orientations of the secondary binding domains. The influence of the metal ion size, the spin state in the case of Fe(II), and the presence of Jahn-Teller distortions on the overall helical structure has been investigated. These results form a basis for the design and construction of new large metallosupramolecular architectures which manifest properties associated with the constituent helical metalloligand units.

    Abstract Dogs use their teeth for a multitude of tasks and, as such, it is vital for their health and wellbeing that their oral health is maintained. Persistent deciduous teeth (PDT), those that fail to fall out at the appropriate time, are associated with malocclusion (misaligned bite), soft tissue trauma and increased risk of periodontal disease. The objective of the current study was to perform a retrospective analysis of veterinary medical data to understand the effect of dog breed size, dog breed and body weight on prevalence of PDT. Medical records collected from almost 3 million dogs visiting a chain of veterinary hospitals across the United States over a 5-year period showed an overall prevalence of 7% for PDT, the data represented 60 breeds with extra-small breeds (<6.5 kg) showing significantly higher prevalence (15%) than all other breed sizes (P < 0.001). Statistical modelling of extra-small, small and medium-small breed sizes showed that those on Wellness Plans or that had not received a dental prophylaxis for at least two years had significantly increased odds of PDT being detected (Odds ratio 2.72-3.2 and 2.17-3.36 respectively, P < 0.0001). Dogs with a below ideal body condition score had a decreased odds of PDT (Odds ratio 0.57-0.89, P < 0.0001) whereas those above ideal had an increased odds (Odds ratio 1.11-1.60, P < 0.0001). The findings from this extensive dataset highlight the importance of regular veterinarian examinations to identify and remove PDT, helping to avoid increasing the risk of associated issues such as periodontal disease and malocclusion.

    Abstract The extent to which dietary supplementation with the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) substrate, L-arginine (ARG), impacts on NO production and NO-mediated physiological responses is controversial. This randomised, double blinded, cross-over study investigated the effects of acute ARG supplementation on NO biomarkers, O₂ cost of exercise and exercise tolerance in humans. In one experiment, 15 subjects completed moderate- and severe-intensity running bouts after acute supplementation with 6 g ARG or placebo (PLA). In another experiment, eight subjects completed moderate- and severe-intensity cycling bouts after acute supplementation with 6 g ARG plus 25 g of carbohydrate (ARG + CHO) or an energy-matched dose of carbohydrate alone (CHO). The plasma nitrite concentration was not different after ARG (Pre: 204 ± 79; Post: 241 ± 114 nM; P > 0.05) or ARG + CHO consumption (Pre: 304 ± 57; Post: 335 ± 116 nM; P > 0.05). During moderate-intensity exercise, the steady-state pulmonary VO₂ was not different, relative to the respective placebo conditions, after ARG (PLA: 2,407 ± 318, ARG: 2,422 ± 333 mL min(-1)) or ARG + CHO (CHO: 1,695 ± 304, ARG + CHO: 1,712 ± 312 mL min(-1)) ingestion (P > 0.05). The tolerable duration of severe exercise was also not significantly different (P > 0.05) after ingesting ARG (PLA: 551 ± 140, ARG: 552 ± 150 s) or ARG + CHO (CHO: 457 ± 182, ARG + CHO: 441 ± 221 s). In conclusion, acute dietary supplementation with ARG or ARG + CHO did not alter biomarkers of NO synthesis, O₂ cost of exercise or exercise tolerance in healthy subjects.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Some general practitioners (GPs) find the older driver medical assessment challenging, citing clinical uncertainty and concerns about communicating the need for further testing or driving cessation while maintaining a trusting therapeutic relationship. A screening toolkit could help support GP decision making and communication about fitness to drive. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility, acceptability and utility of the 3-Domains screening toolkit for the medical assessment of older drivers in Australian general practice.
    Method: A prospective mixed-methods study was conducted in nine general practices in south-east Queensland. Participants were older drivers (age ≥75 years) attending annual driving licence medical assessment, GPs and practice nurses. The 3-Domains toolkit comprises three screening tests (Snellen chart visual acuity, functional reach, road signs recognition). We evaluated the feasibility, acceptability and utility of the toolkit.
    Results: Practices used the toolkit in 43 older driver medical assessments (age 75-93 years; combined predictive score 13-96%). Twenty-two semistructured interviews were conducted. Older drivers felt reassured by the thorough assessment. GPs said the toolkit fitted into practice workflows, informed clinical judgement and supported conversations about fitness to drive while preserving therapeutic relationships.
    Discussion: The 3-Domains screening toolkit is feasible, acceptable and useful for the medical assessment of older drivers in Australian general practice.

    Abstract Type I interferons (IFNs) are among the most powerful tools that host cells deploy against intracellular pathogens. Their effectiveness is due both to the rapid, directly antiviral effects of IFN-stimulated gene products and to the effects of type I IFN on responding immune cells. Type I IFN signaling through its receptor, IFNAR, is tightly regulated at multiple steps in the signaling cascade, including at the level of IFNAR downstream effectors, which include the kinase JAK1 and the transcriptional regulator STAT1. Here, we found that tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-associated factor 3 (TRAF3) enhanced the activation of JAK1 and STAT1 specifically in CD4

    Abstract Biological control agents possess various mechanisms to limit pathogens including ability to outcompete pathogens for resources and occupy shared niches. However, measuring this competition between putative biocontrol agents and pathogens for the same resources remains difficult. To evaluate carbon and nitrogen source utilization as a measure of competitiveness, we used phenotype microarrays on three endophytes (Trichoderma atroviridae, Trichoderma harzianum and Lecanicillium lecanii) with reported biological control activity and five stem-infecting fungal pathogens (Diplodia seriata, Eutypa lata, Neofusicoccum parvum, Phaeomoniella chlamydospora, and Phaeoacremonium minimum) that infect grapevine and other important woody plant hosts. The faster growing N. parvum and D. seriata utilized a greater number of the 190 assessed carbon and 380 assessed nitrogen sources than the relatively slower growing pathogens E. lata, P. chlamydospora, and P. minimum. All three endophytes had a greater niche overlap of carbon and nitrogen resource use than E. lata and P. chlamydospora. However, only T. harzianum and L. lecanii were determined to be able to equally compete or slightly outcompete N. parvum and D. seriata over carbon or nitrogen sources. Therefore, based on these results involving carbon and nitrogen source niche utilization, T. harzianum and L. lecanii would be advanced to additional biological control agent screening. Furthermore, according to plate bioassays, both Trichoderma spp. exhibited significant growth reduction of all pathogens except P. minimum, and L. lecanii significant reduced growth of D. seriata, E. lata, and N. parvum. Therefore, a combination of direct antagonism and ability to outcompete over resources is important in selecting biocontrols. Regardless, these results demonstrated the capacity of phenotype microarrays to assess the ability of endophytes to outcompete pathogens over shared resources in in vitro conditions as a complement to traditional plate assays.
