Abstract

Previous work has shown that item response theory may be used to rank incorrect response options to multiple-choice items on commonly used assessments. This work has shown that, when the correct response to each item is specified, a nominal response model (NRM) may be used to rank the incorrect options. We seek to determine the robustness of these results by applying the NRM to all response choices, without specifying the correct response. We apply these analyses to multiple data sets (each with more than 9,000 response sets), including pre-instruction and post-instruction responses. We find that the rankings generated without specifying the correct response are consistent with the previously published rankings for one data set; however, we find noticeable differences between rankings generated from different data sets. We provide evidence that discrepancies may result from differences in response rates for less commonly chosen responses.

7. Effect of Neutrophil–Platelet Interactions on Cytokine-Modulated Expression of Neutrophil CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1) Integrin Complex and CCR5 Chemokine Receptor in Stable Coronary Artery Disease: A Sub-Study of SMARTool H2020 European Project

Abstract

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease wherein neutrophils play a key role in plaque evolution. We observed that neutrophil CD11b was associated with a higher necrotic core volume in coronary plaques. Since platelets modulate neutrophil function, we explored the influence of neutrophil–platelet conjugates on the cytokine-modulated neutrophil complex CD11b/CD18 and CCR5 receptor expression. In 55 patients [68.53 ± 7.95 years old (mean ± SD); 71% male], neutrophil positivity for CD11b, CD18 and CCR5 was expressed as Relative Fluorescence Intensity (RFI) and taken as a dependent variable. Cytokines and chemokines were assessed by ELISA. Following log-10-based logarithmic transformation, they were used as independent variables in Model 1 of multiple regression together with Body Mass Index and albumin. Model 1 was expanded with the RFI of neutrophil CD41a+ (model 2). The RFI of neutrophil CD41a+ correlated positively and significantly with CD11b, CD18, and CCR5. In Model 2, CCR5 correlated positively only with the RFI of neutrophil CD41a+. Albumin maintained its positive effect on CD11b in both models. These observations indicate the complexity of neutrophil phenotypic modulation in stable CAD. Despite limitations, these findings suggest there is a role played by neutrophil–platelet interaction on the neutrophil cytokine-modulated expression of adhesive and chemotactic receptors.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Non-traumatic emergency general surgery involves a heterogeneous population that may present with several underlying diseases. Timeous emergency surgical treatment should be supplemented with high-quality perioperative care, ideally performed by multidisciplinary teams trained to identify and handle complex postoperative courses. Uncontrolled or poorly controlled acute postoperative pain may result in significant complications. While pain management after elective surgery has been standardized in perioperative pathways, the traditional perioperative treatment of patients undergoing emergency surgery is often a haphazard practice. The present recommended pain management guidelines are for pain management after non-traumatic emergency surgical intervention. It is meant to provide clinicians a list of indications to prescribe the optimal analgesics even in the absence of a multidisciplinary pain team. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An international expert panel discussed the different issues in subsequent rounds. Four international recognized scientific societies: World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES), Global Alliance for Infection in Surgery (GAIS), Italian Society of Anesthesia, Analgesia Intensive Care (SIAARTI), and American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST), endorsed the project and approved the final manuscript. CONCLUSION: Dealing with acute postoperative pain in the emergency abdominal surgery setting is complex, requires special attention, and should be multidisciplinary. Several tools are available, and their combination is mandatory whenever is possible. Analgesic approach to the various situations and conditions should be patient based and tailored according to procedure, pathology, age, response, and available expertise. A better understanding of the patho-mechanisms of postoperative pain for short- and long-term outcomes is necessary to improve prophylactic and treatment strategies.

Abstract

The nine-member CLC gene family of Cl− chloride-transporting membrane proteins is divided into plasma membrane-localized Cl− channels and endo-/lysosomal Cl−/H+ antiporters. Accessory proteins have been identified for ClC-K and ClC-2 channels and for the lysosomal ClC-7, but not the other CLCs. Here, we identified TMEM9 Domain Family Member B (TMEM9B), a single-span type I transmembrane protein of unknown function, to strongly interact with the neuronal endosomal ClC-3 and ClC-4 transporters. Co-expression of TMEM9B with ClC-3 or ClC-4 dramatically reduced transporter activity in Xenopus oocytes and transfected HEK cells. For ClC-3, TMEM9B also induced a slow component in the kinetics of the activation time course, suggesting direct interaction. Currents mediated by ClC-7 were hardly affected by TMEM9B, and ClC-1 currents were only slightly reduced, demonstrating specific interaction with ClC-3 and ClC-4. We obtained strong evidence for direct interaction by detecting significant Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), exploiting fluorescence lifetime microscopy-based (FLIM-FRET) techniques between TMEM9B and ClC-3 and ClC-4, but hardly any FRET with ClC-1 or ClC-7. The discovery of TMEM9B as a novel interaction partner of ClC-3 and ClC-4 might have important implications for the physiological role of these transporters in neuronal endosomal homeostasis and for a better understanding of the pathological mechanisms in CLCN3- and CLCN4-related pathological conditions.

Abstract

Background: The present study evaluates the utility of NGS analysis of circulating free DNA (cfDNA), which incorporates small amounts of tumor DNA (ctDNA), at diagnosis or at disease progression (PD) in NSCLC patients. Methods: Comprehensive genomic profiling on cfDNA by NGS were performed in NSCLC patients at diagnosis (if tissue was unavailable/insufficient) or at PD to investigate potential druggable molecular aberrations. Blood samples were collected as routinary diagnostic procedures, DNA was extracted, and the NextSeq 550 Illumina platform was used to run the Roche Avenio ctDNA Expanded Kit for molecular analyses. Gene variants were classified accordingly to the ESCAT score. Results: A total of 106 patients were included in this study; 44 % of cases were requested because of tissue unavailability at the diagnosis and 56 % were requested at the PD. At least one driver alteration was observed in 62 % of cases at diagnosis. Driver druggable variants classified as ESCAT level I were detected in 34 % of patients, including ALK-EML4, ROS1-CD74, EGFR, BRAF, KRAS p.G12C, PI3KCA. In the PD group, most patients were EGFR-positive, progressing to a first line-therapy. Sixty-three percent of patients had at least one driver alteration detected in blood and 17 % of patients had a known biological mechanism of resistance allowing further therapeutic decisions. Conclusions: The present study confirms the potential of liquid biopsy to detect tumour molecular heterogeneity in NSCLC patients at the diagnosis and at PD, demonstrating that a significant number of druggable mutations and mechanisms of resistance can be detected by NGS analysis on ctDNA.

Abstract

Abstract Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a globally spreading anthropogenic stressor, affecting more than 20% of coastal habitats. The alteration of the natural light/darkness cycle is expected to impact the physiology of organisms by acting on the complex circuits termed as circadian rhythms. Our understanding of the impact of ALAN on marine organisms is lagging behind that of terrestrial ones, and effects on marine primary producers are almost unexplored. Here, we investigated the molecular and physiological response of the Mediterranean seagrass, Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile, as model to evaluate the effect of ALAN on seagrass populations established in shallow waters, by taking advantage of a decreasing gradient of dim nocturnal light intensity (from

Abstract

Abstract We aimed to assess the potential role of Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in conditioning respiratory function and pulmonary vasoregulation during Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) infection. Within 72 h from admission, samples from 90 COVID-19 patients were assessed for ADMA, SDMA, L-arginine concentrations. In addition to classical statistics, patients were also clustered by a machine learning approach according to similar features. Multivariable analysis showed that C-reactive protein (OR 1.012), serum ADMA (OR 4.652), white blood cells (OR = 1.118) and SOFA (OR = 1.495) were significantly associated with negative outcomes. Machine learning-based clustering showed three distinct clusters: (1) patients with low severity not requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), (2) patients with moderate severity and respiratory failure whilst not requiring IMV, and (3) patients with highest severity requiring IMV. Serum ADMA concentration was significantly associated with disease severity and need for IMV although less pulmonary vasodilation was observed by CT scan. High serum levels of ADMA are indicative of high disease severity and requirement of mechanical ventilation. Serum ADMA at the time of hospital admission may therefore help to identify COVID-19 patients at high risk of deterioration and negative outcome.

Abstract

Abstract Marine biodiversity stewardship requires costly and time‐consuming capture‐based monitoring techniques, which limit our understanding of the distribution and status of marine populations. Here, we reconstruct catch and demersal community composition in a set of 24 fishing sites in the central Tyrrhenian Sea by gathering environmental DNA (eDNA) aboard commercial bottom‐trawl fishing vessels. We collected genetic material from two sources: the water draining from the net after the end of hauling operations (“slush”), and custom‐made rolls of gauze tied to a hollow perforated sphere placed inside the fishing net (“metaprobe”). Species inventories were generated using a combination of fish‐specific (Tele02 12S) and universal metazoan (COI) molecular markers. DNA metabarcoding data recovered over 90% of the caught taxa and accurately reconstructed the overall structure of the assemblages of the examined sites, reflecting expected differences linked to major drivers of community structure in Mediterranean demersal ecosystems, such as depth, distance from the coast, and fishing effort. eDNA also returned a “biodiversity bonus” mostly consisting of pelagic species not catchable by bottom trawl but present in the surrounding environment. Overall, the “metaprobe” gauzes showed a greater biodiversity detection power as compared to “slush” water, both qualitatively and quantitatively, strengthening the idea that these low‐cost sampling devices can play a major role in upscaling the gathering of data on both catch composition and the broader ecological characteristics of marine communities sustaining trawling activities. This approach has the potential to drastically expand the reach of ecological monitoring, whereby fishing vessels operating across the oceans may serve as opportunistic scientific platforms to increase the strength and granularity of marine biodiversity data.

Abstract

The evaluation of the status of marine communities, and especially the monitoring of those heavily exploited by fisheries, is a key, challenging task in marine sciences. Fishing activities are a major source of disruption to marine food webs, both directly, by selectively removing components at specific trophic levels (TL), and indirectly, by altering habitats and production cycles. Food web analysis can be very useful in the context of an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries, but food web reconstructions demand large and expensive data sets, which are typically available only for a small fraction of marine ecosystems. Recently, new technologies have been developed to easily, quickly and cost-effectively collect environmental DNA (eDNA) during fishing activities. By generating large, multi-marker metabarcoding data from eDNA samples obtained from commercial trawlers, it is possible to produce exhaustive taxonomic inventories for the exploited ecosystems, which are suitable for food-web reconstructions. Here, we integrate and re-analyse the data of a recent study in which the α diversity was investigated using the eDNA opportunistically collected during fishing operations. Indeed, we collect highly resolved information on species feeding relationships to reconstruct the food webs at different sites in the Strait of Sicily (Mediterranean Sea) from eDNA and catch data. After observing that the trophic networks obtained from eDNA metabarcoding data are more consistent with the available knowledge, a set of food web indicators (species richness, number of links, direct connectance and generality) is computed and analysed to unravel differences in food webs structure through different areas (spatial variations). Species richness, number of links and generality (positively) and direct connectance (negatively) are correlated with increasing distance from the coast and fishing effort intensity. The combined effects of environmental gradients and fishing effort on food web structure at different study sites are then examined and modelled. Taken together, these findings indicate the suitability of eDNA metabarcoding to assist and food web analysis, obtain several food web-related ecological indicators, and tease out the effect of fishing intensity from the environmental gradients of marine ecosystems.
