Plasma Levels of High-Mobility Group Box 1 during Peptide Vaccination in Patients with Recurrent Ovarian Cancer by Kayoko Waki, Kouichiro Kawano, Naotake Tsuda, Kimio Ushijima, Kyogo Itoh, Akira Yamada

“…The correlation between plasma HMGB1 levels and other biomarker levels was further analyzed by scatter plot, revealing that HMGB1 levels after the 1st cycle of vaccination were significantly correlated with myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) frequency after the 1st cycle of vaccination (r=0.357, p=0.032). Chi-square test showed that epitope spreading was significantly related with changes of HMGB1 (p=0.030). …”

Metataxonomic Characterization of Enriched Consortia Derived from Oil Spill-Contaminated Sites in Guimaras, Philippines, Reveals Major Role of Klebsiella sp. in Hydrocarbon Degrada... by Kiara Nicole D. Rodriguez, Russel T. Santos, Michael Joseph M. Nagpala, Rina B. Opulencia

“…The consortia that obtained the highest percent degradation for each of the four hydrocarbons were “B2” (92.34% diesel degraded), “A5” (85.55% hexadecane degraded), “B1” (74.33% hexane degraded), and “B7” (63.38% xylene degraded). Illumina MiSeq 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing revealed that the dominant phyla in all consortia are Pseudomonadota (previously Proteobacteria), followed by Bacillota (previously Firmicutes). …”

Green transformational and transactional leadership in fostering green creativity among university students by N. Saif, G.G.G. GOH, J.W. Ong, I.U. Khan

“…However, green transformational leadership is a stronger predictor in comparison to green transactional leadership in nurturing green creativity among students to provide viable solutions to existing products/processes. The R2 or contribution given by green transformational leadership and green transactional leadership on green creativity was 45.7 percent while the contribution of green transformational leadership, green transactional leadership and green creativity on green intrinsic motivation was 57.7 percent.CONCLUSION: Policy makers must focus their attention on promoting green transactional and transformational leadership that will directly enhance students’ motivation to promote the green creativity through innovative product/service model innovation.…”
