    Abstract Recent discovery of endophytic strains of Bacillus thuringiensis significantly improves the knowledge on its ecology. It also may be a new source for the isolation of insecticidal strains. This report shows the characterization of two endophytic, highly insecticidal strains of B. thuringiensis. Strains LBIT-1250L and LBIT-1251P were isolated from lavender and Poinsettia sap, respectively. Their parasporal crystals were very similar in morphology to those shown by serotypes israelensis and kurstaki, respectively. Bioassays on Aedes aegypti fourth instar larvae and on Manduca sexta first instar larvae, respectively, showed significantly higher levels of toxicity than those of their standard counterparts, IPS-82 (israelensis) and HD-1 (kurstaki) strains, respectively. Characterization of both strains included the sequencing of flagellin (hag) gene, plasmid and Bc Rep-PCR patterns and crystal protein content. All four characterization features indicated that LBIT1250L is highly related to the IPS-82 standard (serotype H-14: israelensis); while the LBIT-1251P was highly related to the HD-1 standard (serotype H-3a3b3c kurstaki). These results indicate that endophytic strains of B. thuringiensis may be a new source of potential insecticidal strains and opens more in-depth studies about the role of this bacterium in such a specialized habitat.

    Abstract Despite the fact that Bacillus thuringiensis is the most widely used bacterium in biological pest control, its ecology has been notoriously neglected. Its role in nature is uncertain, and a defined habitat and niche are under discussion. In this report, wild-type strains were isolated from the inner plant tissues as natural endophytic bacteria in wild plants. Once a reliable superficial sterilization technique was standardized, leaf samples from 110 wildlife plant species within 52 families were processed to obtain their endophytic microflora, which were able to grow in artificial media. From 93 morphologically different isolates, 22 showed the typical sporangium morphology of B. thuringiensis (endospore and parasporal bodies). These isolates were identified and characterized by their 16S ribosomal RNA, hag gene, MLST, and cry gene sequences. Also, isolates were characterized by Bc-RepPCR and parasporal body protein content. All the isolates showed at least some of the typical B. thuringiensis features tested, but 10 showed information in all those features, which, in a rigorous selection, were taken as B. thuringiensis sensu stricto strains. Only three subspecies were identified: five kurstaki, four nigeriensis, and one thuringiensis. None showed toxicity against mosquito larvae or Caenorhabditis elegans, and only one showed significant toxicity against Manduca sexta larvae. The role of B. thuringiensis as a natural endophytic bacterium is discussed.

    Title translation Development, techniques, and utility of experimental animal models of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms.
    Abstract Aneurysms are clinical entities that can develop and affect human aorta; and although in most cases they have an asymptomatic course, these pathological dilatations can lead to a lethal outcome when rupture occurs, thus the establishment of predictors is crucial for death prevention. Essential events that take place in the vessel wall have been identified and described, such as inflammation, proteolysis, smooth muscle cell apoptosis, angiogenesis, and vascular remodeling. Porcine and ovine models have been useful for the development and evaluation of endovascular devices of the aorta. However, since the worldwide introduction and adoption of these minimally invasive techniques for aneurysm repair, there is lesser availability of diseased aortic tissue for molecular, cellular, and histopathological analysis, therefore over the last three decades it has been proposed various small species models that have allowed the focal induction of these lesions for the study of physiopathological mechanisms and possible useful biomarkers as diagnostic and therapeutic targets. The present review article presents and discusses the animal models available as their applications, characteristics, advantages, and limitations for the development of preclinical studies, and their importance in the comprehension of this pathology in humans.

    Abstract Maslow's Human Motivation extended Theory, in its late version, proposed transcendence as one of the highest levels, inclusive or holistic in the Human consciousness. Through Meaning Theory, Victor Frankl and Paul Wong suggested that self-transcendence is a fundamental expression of our spiritual nature and a distinctive concept. However, it is not clear whether at present, with an extensive offer of individualistic currents, transcending involves a personal issue or is rather a collective issue, related to community and culture. The objective of this research is to determine if seeking personal transcendence and seeking collective transcendence are two differentiable categories, and if there is a priority among them, which would suggest an extension of the Theory. With the participation of 402 business students in Mexico, and with the help of a structured equation model, it was determined that there is a significant difference between orientation toward "I transcend" and the orientation toward "I help others transcend." The results obtained from the selected sample indicate that individual transcendence and collective transcendence are distinguishable categories. In addition, it was found that young people prefer to seek a personal meaning rather than a collective one, which suggest that dimension of collective transcendence is prior to personal transcendence. These findings can be used to design job profiles for positions that require staff development, and it can serve as a positive pattern for life education and society.

    Abstract Biofuels are an attractive alternative from polluting activities to low carbon ones. In this understanding, biodiesel has the potential to replace fossil diesel. Density is a relevant parameter of biodiesel to work out its quality. Density models lead to reducing the costly and time-consuming experimental measurements. We compiled two databases to prove a group contribution approach. For this purpose, the first database contained 1231 densities of 58 alkyl esters, while the second covered 696 densities of 16 pure biodiesel samples and 8 biodiesel blends. The group contribution method based on the molar volume was used to estimate the alkyl ester densities, while the mixing rule proposed by Kay was used to predict the biodiesel densities. The method developed here is easy to apply and provides excellent results, because an average absolute deviation of 0.29% was reached on the biodiesel density prediction.

    Abstract Bacillus thuringiensis has been widely used as a biological control agent against insect pests. Additionally, nematicidal strains have been under investigation. In this report, 310 native strains of B. thuringiensis against Caenorhabditis elegans were tested. Only the LBIT-596 and LBIT-107 strains showed significant mortality. LC50s of spore-crystal complexes were estimated at 37.18 and 31.89 μg/mL for LBIT-596 and LBIT-107 strains, respectively, while LC50s of partially purified crystals was estimated at 23.76 and 20.25 μg/mL for LBIT-596 and LBIT-107, respectively. The flagellin gene sequence and plasmid patterns indicated that LBIT-596 and LBIT-107 are not related to each other. Sequences from internal regions of a cry5B and a cyt1A genes were found in the LBIT-596 strain, while a cry21A, a cry14A and a cyt1A genes were found in the LBIT-107 strain. Genome sequence of the LBIT-107 strain showed new cry genes, along with other virulence factors, hence, total nematicidal activity of the LBIT-107 strain may be the result of a multifactorial effect. The highlight of this contribution is that translocation of spore-crystal suspensions of LBIT-107 into tomato plants inoculated at their rhizosphere decreased up to 90% the number of galls of Meloidogyne incognita, perhaps the most important nematode pest in the world.

    Abstract Background: Increasingly, total hip and total knee replacements are being performed at outpatient ambulatory surgery centers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility and safety of instituting a same-day surgery program for hip and knee replacement at an urban, safety net hospital.
    Methods: Retrospective review of a prospectively collected registry for all patients scheduled for same-day total joint replacement at a safety net hospital was performed. Medical records were reviewed for patient demographics, same-day hospital admissions, and 30-day emergency room/hospital admissions.
    Results: 131 same-day total joint replacements were identified, including 76 knees and 55 hips. Median ASA was 3, and median Charlson comorbidity score was 2. Rate of same-day surgery for total joint replacements increased from 4.5% in September 2020 to 100% in September 2021. On major patient outcomes, 3.8% of patients (n = 5) required conversion to inpatient admission. Rate of 30-Day Emergency Department (ED) visits was 13.0% (n = 17). Most common complaints included postoperative pain (n = 10), incision drainage/edema/hematoma (n = 9), and cellulitis (n = 2). 30-Day Hospital Readmissions occurred in 1.5% of patients (n = 2).
    Conclusion: Same-day hip and knee replacement can be performed safely at a safety net hospital. Unlike dedicated high-volume orthopedic hospitals or outpatient surgery centers, urban safety net hospitals face a different set of challenges and must care for a wide variety of patients who do not plan for their illness and/or may not be able to pay for their care. Outpatient total joint replacement may extend total joint replacement to patients who might not have access otherwise.
