Detection of CRISPR‒Cas and type I R–M systems in Klebsiella pneumoniae of human and animal origins and their relationship to antibiotic resistance and virulence by Xue Li, Ling Wang, Jinghuan Lin, Yingjuan Gu, Zhihua Liu, Jing Hu

“…However, a lower prevalence of most antibiotic-resistance genes was found when the CRISPR‒Cas systems were alone, and when type I R-M systems were coexisting, some of the antibiotic resistance gene incidence rates were even lower (quinolones, macrolides, tetracyclines and carbapenems), and some of them were higher instead (aminoglycosides, clindamycins, rifampicin-associated, sulfonamides, methotrexates, beta-lactamases and ultrabroad-spectrum beta-lactamases). …”

Pushing the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array to the Limit: 140 pc Resolution Observations of a z = 6.6 Quasar–Galaxy Merger Resolve Strikingly Different Morphologies of... by Romain A. Meyer, Bram Venemans, Marcel Neeleman, Roberto Decarli, Fabian Walter

“…The absence of significant [C ii ] emission by structures with physical scale ≲ 1 kpc implies that [C ii ] emission is not produced in dense PDRs located at the boundary of giant molecular clouds. We argue instead that [C ii ] is produced in low-density PDRs in the interstellar medium and diffuse H i gas tidally stripped during the ongoing merger.…”

INSTITUTIONAL GLOBALIZATION AS A SYSTEM OF INTEGRATION THE PHENOMENON OF THE POSTMODERN DEVELOPMENT by V. V. Zinchenko

“…Modern defending, using all their reserves: public thirst for justice, the priority of rationality (at least in the economy), monologist public agencies and politicians in contrast to the dialogic postmodern imperative modality in the spiritual existence of man instead the freedom. Finally, the world of the story is set a trap – the anthropological paradigm of the globalization ideology formation. …”

Association between various blood glucose variability-related indicators during early ICU admission and 28-day mortality in non-diabetic patients with sepsis by Jingyan Zhou, Zhiheng Chen, Hao-Neng Huang, Chun-Quan Ou, Xin Li

“…If the dose-response curve presented a J-shape with a specific threshold value, a linear threshold function instead of RCS would be employed. Results There is a J-shaped relationship between hospital mortality risk and glucose variability-related indexes in ICU patients with sepsis. …”

Detection of Cervical Cancer and High Grade Neoplastic Lesions by a Combination of Liquid‐Based Sampling Preparation and DNA Measurements Using Automated Image Cytometry by Xiao Rong Sun, Jian Wang, David Garner, Branko Palcic

“…If DNA assisted cytology were to be used instead, and all cases having 3 or more cells with DNA amount greater than 5c were to be referred to colposcopy and biopsy, then 50 lesions that had to be removed would have been discovered (10 CIN2, 15 CIN3/CIS and 25 cancers) for the sensitivity of 54.3±6.2% at specificity of 96.9±0.6%. …”

“…Although the exacerbated burn-induced mortality by exendin-4 was worsened by propranolol pretreatment, the inhibition of T cell proliferation by exendin-4 in vitro could be restored by propranolol instead of exendin (9-39). However, a Th2 switch by exendin-4 in vitro could only be reversed by exendin (9-39). …”

Microglial NLRP3-gasdermin D activation impairs blood-brain barrier integrity through interleukin-1β-independent neutrophil chemotaxis upon peripheral inflammation in mice by Sung-Hyun Yoon, Chae youn Kim, Eunju Lee, Changjun Lee, Kyung-Seo Lee, Jaeho Lee, Hana Park, Bokeum Choi, Inhwa Hwang, Junhan Kim, Tae-Gyun Kim, Junghyun Son, Young-Min Hyun, Seunghee Hong, Je-Wook Yu

“…Notably, IL-1β is not required for NLRP3-GSDMD-mediated BBB disruption. Instead, microglial NLRP3-GSDMD axis upregulates CXCL chemokines and matrix metalloproteinases around BBB via producing GDF-15, promoting the recruitment of CXCR2-containing neutrophils. …”
