    Abstract Background: This retrospective study determined survival responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), comparing mono- (mono) and combo-immunotherapy (combo) in patients with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) by analyzing quantitative imaging data and clinical factors.
    Methods: One hundred fifty patients were included from two centers and divided into training (n = 105) and validation (n = 45) cohorts. Radiologists manually annotated chest-abdomen-pelvis computed tomography and calculated tumor burden. Progression-free survival (PFS) was assessed, and variables were selected through Recursive Feature Elimination. Cutoff values were determined using maximally selected rank statistics to binarize features, forming a risk score with hazard ratio-derived weights.
    Results: In total, 2258 lesions were annotated with excellent reproducibility. Key variables in the training cohort included: total tumor volume (cutoff: 73 cm
    Conclusions: A score based on total tumor volume, lesion count, the presence of peritoneal carcinomatosis, and age can guide MSI-H mCRC treatment decisions, allowing oncologists to identify suitable candidates for mono and combo ICI therapies.

    Abstract Twenty-one known specialised metabolites were isolated from the flowers of Vernonanthura nudiflora (Less.) H. Rob., the structures of the compounds were established based on 1 D and 2 D NMR spectroscopic experiments. Others 28 compounds were putatively identified using the dereplication technique by UHPLC-HRMS/MS. Twenty-three of the compounds are being reported for the first time in this species. The mixture of sesquiterpene lactones piptocarphins A and B (17 + 18), and the flavone velutin (14) were tested against several microorganisms and showed promising activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis with MIC of 15.6 μg/mL and 31.2 μg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, 17 + 18 showed greater cytotoxicity against VERO cells (IC₅₀ = 7.0 ± 1.73) compared to compound 14 (IC₅₀ 85.0 ± 10.6 µg/mL). These findings reveal the feasibility of using the UHPLC-ESI-HRMS/MS-based dereplication strategy in complex fractions to identify specialised metabolites, moreover to V. nudiflora flowers being a source of compounds with antimycobacterial potential.

    Abstract Objetivo del estudio: El emprendimiento social puede ser visto como un modelo de negocio y como una forma de promover solución a problemas sociales. Este doble discurso que lo caracteriza también es viable en el entorno digital. El objetivo de esta investigación es clasificar los elementos que inciden en el impacto social para que los emprendimientos sociales en medios digitales consigan coadyuvar en la solución de los problemas sociales que abordan. Diseño/Metodología/Enfoque: El presente estudio empleó un enfoque mixto para diseñar un modelo predictivo basado en una red neuronal alimentada por una base de conocimiento en la que se llevó a cabo una observación no participante a quince emprendimientos sociales en medios digitales. Resultados: El modelo pronosticó un impacto social bajo para este tipo de emprendimientos. No obstante, en segundo lugar determinó la probabilidad de un impacto social alto lo que permitió identificar no sólo las características de los proyectos con mayores posibilidades, sino qué dimensiones son determinantes para generar un impacto social positivo. Limitaciones e implicaciones: Si bien la metodología puede aplicarse a otros emprendimientos sociales en medios digitales, solo se analizaron proyectos originarios de México. También podrían investigarse más casos, además de ampliar el tiempo en que se llevó a cabo la observación no participante. Originalidad / Contribución: En la revisión del Estado del arte no se encontró referencia al concepto Emprendimientos sociales en medios digitales, de modo que se pone en evidencia la existencia de este tipo de proyectos donde a través de espacios, como las redes sociodigitales, los emprendedores informan y promueven la acción hacia sus audiencias. Además, se trabaja sobre los impactos sociales que pueden generar este tipo de proyectos para conocer no solo sus acciones sino sus implicaciones.

    Abstract In anaerobiosis, the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is able to produce H₂ gas. Electrons mainly derive from mobilization of internal reserves or from water through biophotolysis. However, the exact mechanisms triggering this process are still unclear. Our hypothesis was that, once a proper redox state has been achieved, H₂ production is eventually observed. To avoid nutrient depletion, which would result in enhanced fermentative pathways, we aimed to induce long‐lasting H₂ production solely through a photosynthesis : respiration equilibrium. Thus, growing cells were incubated in Tris Acetate Phosphate (TAP) medium under low light and high chlorophyll content. After a 250‐h acclimation phase, a 350‐h H₂ production phase was observed. The light‐to‐H₂ conversion efficiency was comparable to that given in some reports operating under sulphur starvation. Electron sources were found to be water, through biophotolysis, and proteins, particularly through photofermentation. Nonetheless, a substantial contribution from acetate could not be ruled out. In addition, photosystem II (PSII) inhibition by 3‐(3,4‐dichlorophenyl)‐1,1‐dimethylurea (DCMU) showed that it actively contributed to maintaining a redox balance during cell acclimation. In appropriate conditions, PSII may represent the major source of reducing power to feed the H₂ evolution process, by inducing and maintaining an ideal excess of reducing power.

    Abstract DNA-packaging and the control of gene expression constitute a major challenge for bacteria to survive and adapt to environmental changes. The use of multiple strategies to solve these problems could explain the presence of various nucleoid-associated proteins in bacteria. H-NS, one of these proteins, has been extensively studied in Escherichia coli, and a variety of phenotypes have been associated with a mutation in its structural gene. However, the role of H-NS in bacterial physiology and its mechanism of action are still a matter of debate. The expanding number of H-NS-related proteins identified in Gram-negative bacteria reveals interesting clues about their structure-function-evolution relationship.

    Abstract The nucleoid-associated protein H-NS is thought to play an essential role in the organization of bacterial chromatin in Escherichia coli. Homologues, often with very low sequence identity, are found in most gram-negative bacteria. Microscopic analysis reveals that, despite limited sequence identity, their structural organization results in similar DNA binding properties.

    Abstract The C(s) symmetry reaction of the H(2) molecule on a Pt(4) (111) clusters, has been studied using ab initio multiconfiguration self-consistent field plus extensive multireference configuration interaction variational and perturbative calculations. The H(2) interaction by the vertex and by the base of a tetrahedral Pt(4) cluster were studied in ground and excited triplet and singlet states (closed and open shells), where the reaction curves are obtained through many avoided crossings. The Pt(4) cluster captures and activates the hydrogen molecule; it shows a similar behavior compared with other Pt(n) (n=1,2,3) systems. The Pt(4) cluster in their lowest five open and closed shell electronic states: (3)B(2), (1)B(2), (1)A(1) (3)A(1), (1)A(1), respectively, may capture and dissociate the H(2) molecule without activation barriers for the hydrogen molecule vertex approach. For the threefolded site reaction, i.e., by the base, the situation is different, the hydrogen adsorption presents some barriers. The potential energy minima occur outside and inside the cluster, with strong activation of the H-H bond. In all cases studied, the Pt(4) cluster does not absorb the hydrogen molecule.

    Abstract In Escherichia coli, the H-NS protein plays an important role in the structure and the functioning of bacterial chromosome. A homologous protein has also been identified in several enteric bacteria and in closely related organisms such as Haemophilus influenzae. To get information on their structure and their function, we identified H-NS-like proteins in various microorganisms by different procedures. In silico analysis of their amino acid sequence and/or in vivo experiments provide evidence that more than 20 proteins belong to the same class of regulatory proteins. Moreover, large scale technologies demonstrate that, at least in E. coli, the loss of motility in hns mutants results from a lack of flagellin biosynthesis, due to the in vivo repression of flagellar gene expression. In contrast, several genes involved in adaptation to low pH are strongly induced in a H-NS deficient strain, resulting in an increased resistance to acidic stress. Finally, expression profiling and phenotypic analysis suggest that, unlike H-NS, its paralogous protein StpA does not play any role in these processes.
