“…Thirteen (5%) individuals reported ocular pain (NRS ≥3) prior to surgery and 67% (n=168) reported ocular pain 1 day after surgery (nine individuals had pain at both time points). Factors that were associated with pain 1 day after surgery included Hispanic ethnicity (adjusted relative risk (aRR) 1.42, 95% CI 1.21 to 1.68, p<0.001) and the presence of eye pain presurgery (aRR 1.10, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.18, p=0.02).Conclusion A majority of individuals report moderate or greater pain within 24 hours of refractive surgery. …”

BAFF and APRIL immunotherapy following Bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccination enhances protection against pulmonary tuberculosis in mice by Min Xie, Chen-Yu Tsai, Joshua Woo, Frank Nuritdinov, Melissa Cristaldo, Narineh M. Odjourian, Rosleine Antilus-Sainte, Maureen Dougher, Martin Gengenbacher, Martin Gengenbacher

“…Administered at birth, BCG induces broad immune responses against a large number of antigens shared with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), but protection wanes over time. We have previously shown that unconventional B cell subsets play a role in tuberculosis control.MethodsHigh-dimensional flow cytometry and multiplex cytokine analysis were employed to investigate the effects of immunotherapy on BCG-vaccinated mice in an Mtb challenge model.ResultsIn this study, we investigate the potential of recombinant cytokines targeting B cells – B-cell activating factor (BAFF) and A proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) – to modulate BCG immunity and improve protection in mice. …”

H-NS controls the susceptibility of Escherichia coli to aminoglycosides by interfering its uptake and efflux by Qiuru Chen, Yulei Liang, Yanbin Dong, Junling Cui, Kun He, Xiaoyuan Ma, Jinfeng Zhao, Jinfeng Zhao, Yajun Zhai, Yajun Zhai, Li Yuan, Li Yuan, Li Yuan, Li Yuan

“…The hns-deleted mutant EΔhns, the hns-complemented strain EΔhns/phns and the hns-overexpressed strain E/phns were derivatives of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, the susceptibility of which were assessed by the broth microdilution method and time-kill curves assays. We found that the MICs for strain EΔhns against gentamicin and amikacin were significantly decreased by 8–16 folds in contrast to E. coli ATCC 25922. …”

Validation of SOC Estimation Using OC and EC Concentration in PM2.5 Measured at Seoul by Ha Young Yoo, Ki Ae Kim, Yong Pyo Kim, Chang Hoon Jung, Hye Jung Shin, Kwang Ju Moon, Seung Myung Park, Ji Yi Lee

“…We compared the (OC/EC)pri ratio from 1-h data with 24-h data and revealed that (OC/EC)pri estimated from 24-h data had twice larger than 1-h data due to the low time resolution of sampling. We finally confirmed that the most appropriate value of (OC/EC)pri is that calculated by a regression analysis of 1-h data and estimated SOC values at PM2.5 of the Seoul atmosphere.…”
