ABSTRACT

Most of the phosphorus incorporated into agricultural soils through the use of fertilizers precipitates in the form of insoluble salts that are incapable of being used by plants. This insoluble phosphorus present in large quantities in soil forms the well-known "phosphorus legacy". The solubilization of this "phosphorus legacy" has become a goal of great agronomic importance, and the use of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria would be a useful tool for this purpose. In this work, we have isolated and characterized phosphate-solubilizing bacteria from the rhizosphere of hop plants. Two particular strains, Pseudomonas taetrolens ULE-PH5 and Pseudomonas sp. ULE-PH6, were selected as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria due to their high phosphate solubilization capability in both plate and liquid culture assays and other interesting traits, including auxin and siderophore production, phytate degradation, and acidic and alkaline phosphatase production. These strains were able to significantly increase phosphate uptake and accumulation of phosphorus in the aerial part (stems, petioles, and leaves) of hop plants, as determined by greenhouse trials. These strains are promising candidates to produce biofertilizers specifically to increase phosphate adsorption by hop plants.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Long-term studies of vaccine recipients are necessary to understand severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibody durability and assess the impact of booster doses on antibody levels and protection from infection. The identification of vaccine breakthrough infections among fully vaccinated populations will be important in understanding vaccine efficacy and SARS-CoV-2 vaccine escape capacity. METHODS: SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) receptor-binding domain and nucleocapsid (N) immunoglobulin (Ig) G levels were measured in a longitudinal study of 1000 Chicago healthcare workers who were infection naive or previously infected and then vaccinated. Changes in S and N IgG were followed up through 14 months, and vaccine breakthrough infections were identified by increasing levels of N IgG. RESULTS: SARS-CoV-2 S IgG antibody levels among previously infected and previously noninfected individuals decreased steadily for 11 months after vaccination. Administration of a booster 8-11 months after vaccination increased S IgG levels >2-fold beyond those observed after 2 doses, resulting in S IgG levels that were indistinguishable between previously infected and uninfected individuals. Increases in N IgG identified vaccine breakthrough infections and showed >15% breakthrough infection rates during the Omicron wave starting in December 2021. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate SARS-CoV-2 antibody changes after vaccination and breakthrough infections and identify high levels of vaccine breakthrough infections during the Omicron wave, based on N IgG increases.

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes y objetivos: los hombres VIH que tienen sexo con hombres (VIH-HSH) presentan la mayor incidencia de cáncer anal (CA). El estudio tiene como objetivo conocer la prevalencia de la infección anal por virus del papiloma humano de alto riesgo (VPH-AR) y de los hallazgos citológicos e histológicos, así como la implementación de un programa de cribado en el contexto de una ciudad media española, Vigo (España). Método: análisis prospectivo de una cohorte de 264 hombres (VIH-HSH). A los pacientes se les realizó una citología anal y genotipado de VPH-AR para el estudio de la prevalencia de alteraciones citológicas y de la infección VPH-AR. A 209 se les realizó una anoscopia de alta resolución (AAR). Los resultados se relacionaron con variables epidemiológicas, clínicas y analíticas. Resultados: de los 209 pacientes seleccionados, la prevalencia de VPH-AR, alteraciones citológicas e histológicas anales fue de 85,6%, 47,5% y 39,3% respectivamente. La sensibilidad y especificidad para la citología ≥ ASCUS (atipia de células escamosas de significado indeterminado) respecto a las alteraciones histológicas fue de 61% y 85% (OR: 8,7; IC95%: 4,4-17,2), respectivamente. La concordancia observada entre la citología HSIL (lesión escamosa intraepitelial de alto grado) e histología HSIL (AIN-2/3, neoplasia intraepitelial tipo 2 y 3) fue del 64%,(OR: 11,4; IC95%: 3,5-36,7). Un paciente con citología HSIL presentó cáncer escamoso anal prevalente. Conclusiones: la AAR resultó factible y con resultados similares a los de grupos relevantes. Gran prevalencia de la infección anal por VPH-AR y de alteraciones citológicas e histológicas (AU)


Background: Men who have sex with men (MSM) infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have the highest risk of developing anal cancer (AC). The objective of this study was to describe our screening implementation program in this population, and report the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) anal infection, and cytological and histological findings in a Spanish medium-size community (Vigo, Spain). Method: Prospective cohort analysis of 240 HIV-infected MSM. Cellular anal sample and high risk HPV (HR-HPV)-tests were performed to study cytological changes and HPV genotyping. High resolution anoscopy (HRA) was performed in 209 patients. Results were analyzed with respect to epidemiological, clinical and analytical factors. Results: Of 209 patients selected for HRA, the prevalence of HR-HPV anal infection, cytological and histological alterations was 85.6%, 47.5%, and 39.8%, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity for ≥ ASCUS (atypia of squamous cells of undetermined significance) cytology in relation to histological alterations were 61% and 85%, (OR: 8.7; IC 95%: 4.4-17.2), respectively. Observed concordance between high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) cytology and HSIL anal intraepithelial neoplasia types 2 and 3 (AIN-2/3) histology was 64% (OR: 11.4; IC 95%: 3.6-36.7). One patient with HSIL cytology presented a prevalent anal squamous carcinoma. Conclusions: HRA was feasible with similar results to relevant groups. There was a high prevalence of anal HR-HPV infection, and cytological and histological alterations (AU)

ABSTRACT

Los antioxidantes son esenciales en el cuerpo humano para prevenir el daño oxidativo. Estas sustancias pueden obtenerse de diferentes fuentes como frutas, plantas y hongos. En Guatemala, diversas especies de hongos comestibles son comercializadas y consumidas, sin embargo su actividad antioxidante no ha sido documentada en el país. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la actividad antioxidante de extractos acuosos y etanólicos obtenidos de diez especies de basidiomicetos comestibles (Agaricus aff. bisporus, Agaricus brunnescens, Armilla-riella polymyces, Amanita garabitoana, Boletus edulis, Cantharellus lateritius, Laccaria amethystina, Lactarius deliciosus, Neolentinus ponderosus y Pleurotus ostreatus). Se utilizó un método cualitativo por cromatografía en capa fina (CCF) y tres ensayos macrométricos in vitro de cuantificación de fenoles totales, reducción del radical 1,1-difenil-2-pricrilhidrazilo (DPPH) y decoloración del radical catiónico del reactivo ácido 2,2’-azinobis-(acido-3-etilbenzotiazolina-6-sulfónico)(ABTS). Los extractos acuosos mostraron mayor actividad antioxidante que los extractos etanólicos en todas las técnicas cuantitativas realizadas. La especie que mostró mayor actividad antioxidante en ambos extractos fue B. edulis, cuyos resultados en el extracto acuoso fueron: fenoles totales 93.46 ± 18.17 mg/g, DPPH CI 50 0.93 mg/mL (IC95% 0.65-1.28) y en ABTS CI50 0.96 mg/mL (IC 95% 0.63-1.35); los resultados en el extracto etanólico fueron: Fenoles totales 42.70 ± 3.48 mg/g, DPPH CI50 2.75 mg/mL (IC 95% 2.46-3.07) y 4.13 mg/mL (IC 95% 2.67-5.88). Se evidencia de esta forma que las especies de basidiomicetos estudiadas presentan actividad antioxidante por lo cual pueden ser una fuente potencial de antioxidantes naturales.


Antioxidants are essential in the body to prevent oxidative damage. These antioxidant substances are obtained from different sources such as fruits, plants and mushrooms. In Guatemala, diverse species of mushrooms are commercialized and consumed, however their antioxidant activity has not been documented in Guatemala. The goal of this study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity of aqueous and ethanolic extracts obtained from edible basidiomycete’s species: Agaricus aff. bisporus, A. brunnescens, Armillariella polymyces, Amanita garabitoana, Boletus edulis, Cantharellus lateritius, Laccaria amethystina, Lactarius deliciosus, Neolentinus ponderosus and Pleurotus ostreatus. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was used as a qualitative method to determine the presence of antioxidant activity, subsequently, three in vitro macrometric assays were used: the quantification of total phenolics, reduction of 1,1-diphenyl-2-pricrilhidrazil (DPPH) radical, and discoloration of the acid reagent 2.2 ‘-azinobis-(acid-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical cation. Aqueous extracts exhibited higher antioxidant activity than ethanolic in all the quantitative techniques used. The specie that showed greater antioxidant activity in both extracts was B. edulis, whose results of aqueous extract were as follows: Total phenolics 93.46 ± 18.17 mg/g , DPPH IC50 0.93 mg/mL (CI95% 0.65-1.28) and ABTS IC50 0.96 mg/mL (CI95% 0.63-1.35); results of ethanolic extract were: Total phenolics 42.70 ± 3.48 mg/g, DPPH IC50 2.75 mg/mL (CI95% 2.46-3.07) and ABTS IC50 4.13 mg/mL (CI95% 2.67-5.88). Based in the result of the study all the basidiomycete’s species that were evaluated have antioxidant activity, therefore, are potential sources of natural antioxidants.

ABSTRACT

Se reportaron los resultados de un estudio retrospectivo de pacientes con carcinoma de células pequeñas de pulmón en todos los estadios de la enfermedad, diagnosticado por citología y/o biopsia de la lesión. Métodos: Se estudiaron 68 enfermos que padecían un carcinoma de células pequeñas de pulmón en todos los estadios y recibieron tratamiento de primera línea con cisplatino-etopósido y de segunda línea, con ciclofosfamida, doxorubicina y vincristina. Los pacientes de enfermedad limitada fueron evaluados al final del primer ciclo para planificar el tratamiento con radiaciones; los de enfermedad extendida recibieron radiaciones sobre sitios metastásicos o para mejorar algún síntoma. Resultados: La respuesta al tratamiento fue: 25 por ciento de respuesta objetiva (RC y RP) y 56 por ciento de control de la enfermedad. La mediana de supervivencia global fue 10,10 meses. En el sexo femenino se observó tendencia a un incremento de la supervivencia en relación con el masculino (10,23 vs. 9,33 meses). La supervivencia en la enfermedad limitada fue de 12,5 meses y en la enfermedad extendida, de 6,57 meses lo cual fue estadísticamente significativo (p = 0,004)(AU)


The results of a retrospective study of patients with small cell lung carcinoma in all the stages of the disease diagnosed by cytology and/or biopsy of the lesion were reported. Methods: 68 patients that suffered from a small cell lung carcinoma in all the stages that received first-line treatment with cisplatin-etoposide, and second line treatment with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and vincristine were studied. The patients with limited disease were evaluated at the end of the first cycle to plan the treatment with radiations; those with extended disease received radiations on metastic sites or to improve some symptom. Results: The response to the treatment was as follows: 25 percent of objective response (CR and PR) and 56 percent of control of the disease. The global mean survival was 10.10 months. Among females, it was observed a trend towards an increase of survival compared with males (10.23 vs. 9.33 months). The survival of the limited disease was 12.5 months, whereas in the extended disease it was 6.57 months, which was statistically significant (p = 0,004)(AU)

ABSTRACT

Se reportaron los resultados de un estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo basado en la estandarización terapéutica de los pacientes con cáncer de pulmón de células no pequeñas, no operables, que recibieron quimioterapia de combinación cisplatino-vinblastina para determinar su supervivencia. Se observó que 185 recibieron tratamiento (cisplatino 100 mg/m2 y vinblastina 6 mg/m2) endovenoso el día 1 y, posteriormente, cada 21 d; 125 (78 por ciento) recibieron entre 4 y 6 ciclos de tratamiento. Se halló que la supervivencia global de todos los pacientes fue de 11,82 meses (mediana 8,43), mientras que en los estadios IIIB y IV fue de 9,11 (mediana 7,60) y 8,96 meses (mediana 5,80), respectivamente. En estos estadios se obtuvo 48 por ciento de control de la enfermedad considerada como respuesta objetiva más estabilización. La toxicidad fue fundamentalmente digestiva, renal y hematológica. Se observó tendencia a una mayor supervivencia en el sexo femenino. No se encontraron diferencias en la supervivencia entre los estadios IIIB y IV, sin embargo, en aquellos pacientes en los cuales se obtuvo control de la enfermedad, la supervivencia fue significativamente mayor. Se halló que los pacientes en estadios IIIB y IV con buen estado general tuvieron mayor supervivencia al igual que los que presentaron una sola comorbilidad.


The results of a descriptive and retrospective study based on the therapeutic standardization of the patients with inoperable non-small cell lung cancer that received cisplatin-vinblastine combined chemotherapy were reported to determine their survival. It was observed that 185 were administered endovenous treatment (cisplatin 100 mg/m2 and vinblastine 6 mg/m2) the first day and, later, every 21 days; 125 (78 percent) received between 4 and 6 treatment cycles. It was found that the global survival of all the patients was 11.82 months (mean 8.43), whereas in the stages IIIB and IV it was 9.11 (mean 7.60) and 8.96 months (mean 5.80), respectively. In these stages, it was obtained 48 percent of control of the disease considered as an objective response plus stabilization. Toxicity was mainly digestive, renal and haematological. A trend towards survival was observed among females. No differences were detected in the survival between the stages IIIB and IV. However, in those patients among whom a control of the disease was attained, the survival was significantly higher. It was concluded that the patients in stages IIIB and IV with a good general condition had a greater survival, as well as those that presented only one comorbidity.
