Durante el mes de agosto del 2015 en el estado de Morelos, Mexico, se observaron sintomas evidentes de una enfermedad en plantaciones de lima ‘Persa’, que ocasionaba gomosis, formacion de chancros y muerte descendente de ramas. Con el proposito de aislar e identificar morfologica y molecularmente el patogeno, se muestrearon 46 arboles entre 5-8 anos de edad, en 45 huertas de los municipios de Tlaltizapan, Ayala, Coatlan del Rio y Amayuca. Para lo cual se hicieron aislamientos, pruebas de patogenicidad y una caracterizacion morfologica del agente, ademas se clasificaron las especies mediante PCR utilizando los cebadores ITS5 / ITS4 y se construyo un arbol filogenetico bayesiano con agrupamiento de clados. Los resultados permitieron diferenciar de 16 aislados, 4 clados y tres especies, correspondientes al genero Lasiodiplodia , diferenciandose entre estas a: L. citricola , L. pseudotheobromae y L. teobroma. Las secuencias fueron depositadas en el GenBank, como nuevos reportes de agentes patogenicos fungosos en lima ‘Persa’ para el Estado de Morelos.
Design of Tag Ranking Algorithm Based on Cluster

Most information in Web2.0 is made by the users and classified by the tags which are putted by the users. However, as we known, tag related service and research are focused on the works such as automatic tagging and tag cloud composition, but the researches which classify the media resources and information according to tags and provide the results to the users, are not still up to the mark. In this paper to overcome the problems of existing system, a TBTC algorithm was proposed to find highly related tags. And a threshold which is used in this algorithm for clustering was studied, and optimal threshold with high cluster cohesion was determined in this research.
Contributing traits for nitrogen use efficiency in selected wheat genotypes and corollary between screening methodologies

ABSTRACT Nitrogen uptake being part of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is largely decided by root traits. Root traits variability has hardly been explored by breeders mainly because of difficulties in scoring. The hydroponic system requiring lesser space for precise phenotyping of large numbers of genotypes independently of the growing season can be a suitable alternative. However, the effectiveness of hydroponic screening methods needs to be verified under the soil condition of the field or pot. In the present study, root traits and NUE were investigated in 19 genotypes under two conditions (hydroponic and pipe filled with soil). Both environments revealed large variability for root traits and NUE under high and low N conditions establishing the absence of any direct selection for these traits in the past. Under both sets of experimentation, NUpE was largely responsible for improved nitrogen efficiency mainly because of higher root biomass. The significant association between the two screening methods i.e. hydroponic and pot filled with soil under both low and high N condition support large scale screening for root traits under hydroponic condition.
Soft tissue sarcomas of the upper extremities: Maximizing treatment opportunities and outcomes

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare tumors; they do not even equate to 1% of all malignant tumor cases. One-fifth of all STS occur in the upper extremities, where epithelioid sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, clear cell sarcoma and malignant fibrohistiocytoma are the most frequent subtypes. Surgical resection is the cornerstone of treatment. However, accomplishment of optimal oncological and functional results of STS of the upper extremities may represent a challenge for hand surgeons, due to the complex anatomy. In several cases, preoperative therapies are needed to facilitate tumor resection and improve the oncological outcome. Oligometastatic disease may also be a challenging scenario as curative strategies can be applied. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are commonly used for this purpose albeit with conflicting evidence. Novel drug combinations have also been approved in the metastatic setting, further improving the quality of life and survival of eligible patients. Thus, prior to any approach, every case should be individually discussed in sarcoma centers with specialized multidisciplinary tumor boards. The aim of the present review was to gather the multidisciplinary experiences of the available therapeutic strategies for STS of the upper extremities.
Efficacy of auditory training in older adults by electrophysiological tests

Background and Aim: Most elderly people in noisy environments complain of speech com­prehension. At present, hearing aids or cochlear implants are the main treatment options. How­ever, these devices merely enhance sound audi­bility and do not compensate for central pro­cessing changes caused by aging, hearing loss, or cognitive decline. This article reviewed plas­ticity topic in the auditory system and the use of auditory evoked potentials to prove the effec­tiveness of auditory training. Recent Findings: The search for relevant articles in the Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer, and ProQuest databases was con­ducted with the keywords of “auditory edu­cation,” “electrophysiology,” “plasticity,” and “aging. ” A total of 107 articles were found with these keywords, and finally, 98 articles, pub­lished between 1977 and 2018, were used. Existence of plasticity in the central auditory system, regardless of age, has been proven. Therefore, cognitive and auditory training to reduce cognitive problems and improve central hearing processing in appropriate cases can positively affect the quality of hearing and social communication of the elderly. Because efficacy is an important component of any therapeutic approach, the assessment of the benefits of hearing training can be demonstrated by electrophysiological tests. Conclusion: Auditory training may play an important role in the elderly treatment program with speech perception defects. The usefulness of this rehabilitation can be objectively eva­luated through cortical and subcortical elec­trophysiological methods.

Pediculosis is a disease caused by Pediculus humanus capitis de Geer or often called head lice which is an obligate ectoparasite in the human head. The prevalence of pediculosis is quite high and there are reports of resistance and negative side effects regarding the use of synthetic pediculosides trigger research and development of vegetable pediculosides. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the formula of pediculoside with active ingredients of essential oils on head lice mortality in vitro. The study was conducted by testing 3 formulas with variations in the composition of essential oils made from cassava oil, fennel oil, lemon oil, water and vegetable glycerine. Comparison of the ingredients in formula A is 10%, 10%, 5%, 50% and 20%; formula B is 5%, 15%, 5%, 50% and 20%; while formula C is 15%, 5%, 5%, 50% and 20%. The test method is an experiment with a completely randomized design. The test is done by placing 10 adult head lice on filter paper which has been saturated with a formula made in a petri dish. Mortality of head lice is observed based on time. Test results data will be compared with negative controls and positive controls in the form of testing using permethrin-active pediculoside drugs. The results showed that the pediculoside formula A, B and C had a high mortality rate which caused 100% of the deaths of head lice tested in less than 5 minutes. Statistically there is a significance to the results of testing formulas A, B, and C when compared to controls. Based on the results of multiple statistical statistics, it was found that formula C was the most effective as a pediculoside formula
Radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis in nuclear medicine: a short review

Radiopharmaceuticals are radioactive compounds which have a bound radionuclide in their structure, whose purpose is directing the radionuclide to a location to be treated or to obtain images. Nuclear medicine is the medical specialty that employs radiopharmaceuticals, which has presented itself as a tremendously useful ally for medicine assisting in various diagnoses and treatments, especially for cancer. The general objective of this work is to identify the main radionuclides and metal complexes currently used as radiopharmaceuticals. The main metal complexes used as radiopharmaceuticals are compounds of technetium (99mTc) like sodium pertechnetate and methylenediphosphonate MDP-99mTc and other compounds of indium (111In), thallium (201Tl), gallium (67Ga, 68Ga), iodine (123I and 131I), chromium (51Cr), sulphur (35S), phosphorus (32P), fluorine (as fluorodeoxyglucose, 18F-FDG and sodium fluorine, Na18F), which are widely used in the nuclear medicine for diagnosis by imaging. They have been of great importance for the early diagnosis of numerous diseases, mainly cancer.Currently, technetium compounds are the majority of radiopharmaceuticals used in all countries. In Brazil, Institute of Energy and Nuclear Research (IPEN) is one of the most important distributors of radiopharmaceuticals, producing, importing and distributing them to clinics and hospitals over the country.
How Does the Presence of Livestock Influence Landscape Preferences? An Image-Based Approach.

The European Landscape Convention (ELC) emphasises that the public should be extensively involved in the processes of landscape protection, planning and management. In spite of the emerging interest in the relationship between animals and landscapes in the study of animal geography, little is known about the influence of the landscape-animal component on public aspirations and the values attributed to landscape. We conducted a survey in the form of an image-based questionnaire in order to evaluate the influence of certain animal species, in this case livestock, on landscape preferences. The results show that all grazing animals have a positive impact on landscape preferences, although some species seem more popular than others. The preference for scenes with animals decreases, however, when compared with scenes with other landscape features (vegetation, traditional buildings or water). Significant differences in preferences for scenes with animals were observed according to certain sociodemographic variables such as gender, familiarity with the landscape and direct involvement in livestock farming. Of the groups surveyed, livestock farmers showed the strongest preferences for the scenes with animals. The findings of this study can be applied within the citizen participation policies encouraged by the ELC, as well as in the protection, management and planning of rural landscapes in which livestock is an appreciable feature.
Development of Dengue-type NS1 ELISA for Rapid Detection and Differentiation of Dengue Serotypes during Early Infection

Dengue fever, caused by infections with the dengue virus (DENV), affects nearly four hundred million people globally every year. Early diagnosis and management can reduce the morbidity and mortality rates of severe forms of dengue disease as well as decrease the risk of wider outbreaks. Although early diagnosis of dengue can be achieved using a number of commercial NS1 detection kits, none of these can differentiate among the four dengue virus serotypes. In this study, we developed a Dengue-type NS1 ELISA by pairing a serotype-cross-reactive mAb with one of four serotype-specific mAbs in order to facilitate the rapid detection of NS1 antigens and the simultaneous differentiation of dengue serotypes. A total of 146 serum samples obtained from patients suspected to be in the acute phase of dengue infection were used to evaluate the clinical application of our novel test for the detection and serotyping of DENV. The overall sensitivity rate of our test was 84.85%, and the sensitivity rates for serotyping were as follows: DENV1 (88.2%, 15/17), DENV2 (94.7%, 18/19), DENV3 (75%, 12/16), and DENV4 (66.6%, 6/9). Moreover, there was no cross-reactivity among serotypes, and no cross-reactivity was observed in sera from non-dengue patients. Thus, our test not only enables the rapid detection of the dengue virus, but it can also distinguish among specific serotypes during the early stages of infection. These results indicate that our Dengue-type NS1 ELISA is a convenient tool that may help elucidate the epidemiology of dengue outbreaks and facilitate the clinical management of dengue infections.
Comparison of meat quality, fatty acid composition and aroma volatiles of dry-aged beef from Hanwoo cows slaughtered at 60 or 80 months old

Objective The objective of this study was to compare the quality of dry-aged beef from cull Hanwoo cows slaughtered at 60 or 80 months old. Methods A total of eight cull Hanwoo carcasses with a quality grade of 3 (low-grade) were selected and divided into two age groups: 63.5±2.5 months old (n = 4) and 87.8±4.5 months old (n = 4). Whole longissimus thoracis et lumborum from the 11th rib to the last lumbar vertebrae, including the back fat, was removed from the carcass at 24 h postmortem and aged for 50 days in darkness at a temperature of 2°C±1°C, a relative humidity of 85% and an air flow of 2 m/s. The sampling was performed aseptically after 0, 20, 24, 40, and 50 days of aging. Results Regardless of the aging period, aging increased the lightness (p<0.05), redness (p<0.05) and yellowness (p<0.05) at initial blooming (90 min after slicing) and the overall acceptance (p<0.05). No further tenderization effect was found after 20 days of aging, but aging for 50 days significantly increased the lipid oxidation (p<0.05). The generation of aroma volatiles in the roast steak from aged samples was higher (p<0.05) than that of non-aged samples. No significant effect of age at slaughter was found on the color, pH, water-holding capacity, cooking loss, shear force value, bacterial counts, volatile basic nitrogen, consumer acceptance, lipid oxidation, fatty acid composition or aroma volatiles. Conclusion The quality of dry-aged beef obtained from cull Hanwoo cows slaughtered at either 60 or 80 months old with similar quality grade was comparable and extending dry aging for more than 40 days is not recommended considering the costs and further lipid oxidation.
Carcass characteristics and fatty acid profile of Santa Inês lamb fed banana leftovers

The use of new feed resources, particularly local agroindustrial byproducts, such as banana, may be an option for replacing those traditionally used for sheep feed to reduce production costs. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the dietary effects of replacing corn bran with banana leftovers on performance, carcass, non-carcass components, meat traits, and fatty acid profile of Santa Inês lambs. Twenty-four Santa Inês female lambs with an average weight of 23.73 kg were fed diets containing 60 % coast cross hay and 40 % concentrate (30 % corn bran and 10 % soybean meal). Treatments consisted of corn bran replaced by banana leftovers at rates of 0, 25, 50, and 75 % on a dry matter basis. The experiment lasted 120 days. Animals were slaughtered and carcasses and non-carcass components were evaluated. The half-carcasses were weighed and sectioned into commercial cuts. The 12th and 13th ribs were dissected to collect bones, muscle and fat proportions. Cooking loss, color, shear force and sarcomere length were measured. Fatty acid profiles were obtained by gas chromatography. Hot and cold carcass weight, leg, neck, lung, loin eye area, fat thickness, initial sample weight of the 12th and 13th ribs, fat and bone, presented a negative linear effect of banana leftovers replacing corn in the diet. Loin, fat thickness, cooking loss and carcass redness showed a negative quadratic effect, while full and empty abomasum, full omasum, sarcomere length and yellowness presented a positive quadratic effect. Replacement of up to 75 % of corn bran by banana leftovers did not interfere in the intake, performance, meat traits and the fatty acid profile of lambs. The use of banana leftovers may be an alternative for reducing animal production costs.
Vibrio harveyi
 (VirB11) recombinant vaccine development against vibriosis in orange‐spotted grouper (
 Epinephelus coioides
 )

Despite significant improvements in aquaculture to compensate wild catch, disease organisms have thrived in limiting its national and global potential. Using antibiotics, in a bid to remedy the havoc, has given rise to complications, attracting attention to disease prevention by immune enhancement against diseases. Grouper production has been inhibited for the threats of bacterial infection, particularly of Vibrio origin. Considering the rise in vibriosis cases, improved vaccines are necessary; moreover, recombinant vaccines, the choice for trial in the present experiment have been effective and more specific in improving immunity. The current work deals with grouper immune system enhancement with a recombinant vaccine developed from VirB11 gene in Vibrio harveyi. VirB11 was cloned in V. harveyi for recombinant vaccine development against vibriosis in orange‐spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides). As indicated by the results, recombinant VirB11 protein showed effectiveness in conferring protection against vibriosis with observable specific antibody response in enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis; a significant increase (p < 0.05) in antibody levels was observed after a week and after 8 weeks post‐vaccination. From the weeks post‐vaccination, log2 (antibody titres) in the sera of vaccinated groups reached a peak of 14.2 at week 5 in the vaccinated group in comparison with a peak of approximately 5 and 2 in adjuvant and PBS controls. As indicated by the challenge results, 90% relative survival was observed in vaccinated group and 13% relative survival in control group I (adjuvant control). The cumulative performance of protein concludes VirB11 commendable for recombinant vaccine development.

Cytotoxic and Antioxidant Activities of Crocus pallasii subsp. haussknechtii Corms Extracts Compared with Crocus sativus

Background and objectivesThe goal of this study was to compare the cytotoxic and antioxidant activities of the corms extracts of two Crocus species (C. sativus L. and C. pallasii subsp. haussknechtii). Methodsn-Hexan, chloroform and methanol extracts of the corms were prepared. Cytotoxic activities of the extracts against human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 were evaluated via MTT assay and dual acridine orange/ethidium bromide fluorescent staining test. Antioxidant activities of the extracts were assessed by DPPH method.ResultsThe results showed that the methanol extracts of the corms from both species had cytotoxic activity against the breast cancer cells. Cytotoxic activity of the corms extract of C. sativus L. was significantly higher than C. pallasii subsp. haussknechtii. n-Hexan and chloroform extracts from the corms of C. pallasii subsp. haussknechtii and Crocus sativus L. showed no anti-proliferative activity which indicated the polar nature of the cytotoxic agent(s) in the extracts. The results of dual acridine orange/ethidium bromide fluorescent staining test revealed that the methanol extracts of both species corms destroyed cancer cells through apoptosis. Moreover, the methanol corm extracts of the two species showed little antioxidant activity.ConclusionIt can be concluded that C. sativus L. may possess more significant apoptotic properties compared to C. pallasii subsp. haussknechtii.
Topological stress is responsible for the detrimental outcomes of head-on replication-transcription conflicts

Conflicts between replication and transcription machineries have profound effects on chromosome duplication, genome organization, as well as evolution across species. Head-on conflicts (lagging strand genes) are significantly more detrimental than co-directional conflicts (leading strand genes). The source of this fundamental difference is unknown. Here, we report that topological stress underlies this difference. We find that head-on conflict resolution requires the relaxation of positive supercoils by type II topoisomerases, DNA gyrase and Topo IV. Interestingly, we find that after positive supercoil resolution gyrase also introduces excessive negative supercoils at head-on conflict regions, driving pervasive R-loop formation. The formation of these R-Loops through gyrase activity is most likely caused by the diffusion of excessive negative supercoils through RNA polymerase spinning. Altogether, these results provide critical mechanistic insights into head-on replication-transcription conflicts and suggest that gyrase plays a fundamental role in the evolution of head-on genes.
