    Abstract We developed a novel real-time PCR assay for rapid sexing in all three elephant species, which amplifies small fragments of the orthologous sexual chromosome zinc finger protein genes ZFX/ZFY (65 bp). This assay is a simple, inexpensive and reliable tool that is suitable for non-invasive DNA samples and can be incorporated into larger SNP panels for individual identification and population genetic studies.

    Abstract Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has diagnostic importance as one of the earliest indicators of inflammation, tissue damage, hypoxia, or infection. In contrast to the time-consuming immunoassays actually used in many laboratories, results of a new IL-6 bedside test, which is interpreted visually or photometrically, are available at 20 minutes. The photometric measurement using a stored standard curve allowed differentiation of five ranges: <50, 50-100, >100-200, >200-500, and >500-1000 pg/mL. The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic relevance of this new IL-6 bedside test in four well-defined, noninfectious and infectious events after kidney transplantation. In a retrospective study the IL-6 serum levels were measured in a total of 269 serum samples from 27 renal graft recipients. Analysis of all data clearly showed that the majority of elevated IL-6 levels occurred in connection with bacterial infections. Viral infections did not result in an increase of IL-6 >50 pg/mL. Thus, from a clinical point of view this new bedside test can be recommended.

    Abstract Background: Although the need for hand hygiene (HH) is generally accepted, studies continue to document inadequate compliance. Medical students are taught about the importance of HH to prevent nosocomial infections, and receive training in the correct procedures for HH. However, personality traits (social orientation and achievement orientation) may influence HH compliance. People with high social orientation feel socially responsible and act cooperatively, and people with high achievement orientation are ambitious and competitive.
    Aim: To evaluate the relationship between HH compliance and personality traits of medical students.
    Methods: The HH compliance of 155 students was observed during objective standardized clinical examinations (OSCEs). Social orientation and achievement orientation were measured using the corresponding scales of the Freiburg Personality Inventory - Revised.
    Findings: Social orientation did not differ between students with high HH compliance and students with low HH compliance [F(1) = 3.87, P = 0.052, η(2) = 0.045]. For achievement orientation, a moderate effect was found between low and high HH compliance [F(1) = 11.242, P = 0.001, η(2) = 0.119], and students with high HH compliance were found to be more achievement orientated than students with low HH compliance.
    Conclusion: Achievement orientation plays a major role during OSCEs, while social orientation is less emphasized. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to show that HH compliance is associated with achievement orientation in achievement situations.

    Abstract Mucosally active subunit vaccines are an unmet clinical need due to lack of licensed immunostimulants suitable for vaccine antigens. Here, we show that intranasal administration of liposomes incorporating: the Streptococcus pyogenes peptide antigen, J8; diphtheria toxoid as a source of T cell help; and the immunostimulatory glycolipid, 3D(6-acyl) PHAD (PHAD), is able to induce long-lived humoral and cellular immunity. Mice genetically deficient in either mucosal antibodies or total antibodies are protected against S. pyogenes respiratory tract infection. Utilizing IL-17-deficient mice or depleting cellular subsets using antibodies, shows that the cellular responses encompassing, CD4
