Planctomycetes / Planctomycetia / Gemmatales / Gemmataceae

The family
Gemmataceae
accommodates planctomycetes with spherical or ellipsoidal cells, which occur singly, in pairs, or are assembled in large rosette‐like clusters and dendriform‐like structures. Some of these planctomycetes form thick stalks. Crateriform pits are scattered all over the cell surface. Cell division occurs by means of budding; daughter cells are commonly motile but representatives with nonmotile swarm cells are also described. Members of this family are strictly aerobic, neutrophilic, or mildly acidophilic chemoorganotrophs, which grow on various sugars and polysaccharides. Some representatives are capable of degrading chitin or cellulose. All
Gemmataceae
planctomycetes are characterized by large genome sizes. The family includes the genera
Gemmata
,
Fimbriiglobus
,
Limnoglobus
,
Telmatocola
,
Tuwongella
, and
Zavarzinella
. Members of the
Gemmataceae
are widely distributed in various freshwater habitats, soils, and wetlands.

AbstractChildren with trisomy 13 and 18 (previously deemed “incompatible with life”) are living longer, warranting a comprehensive overview of their unique comorbidities and complex care needs. This Review Article provides a summation of the recent literature, informed by the study team's Interdisciplinary Trisomy Translational Program consisting of representatives from: cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, neonatology, otolaryngology, intensive care, neurology, social work, chaplaincy, nursing, and palliative care. Medical interventions are discussed in the context of decisional‐paradigms and whole‐family considerations. The communication format, educational endeavors, and lessons learned from the study team's interdisciplinary care processes are shared with recognition of the potential for replication and implementation in other care settings.
Interleukin‐1β injection causes loss of tail tips in neonatal mice
Authors: Harshaw Christopher , Warner Anna G. 
Published: December 2020

AbstractEarly‐life immune challenges and inflammation are risk factors for a range of developmental disorders. During the course of a study examining interactions between the common antipyretic acetaminophen (APAP; paracetamol) and interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β)‐induced inflammation in neonatal mice we observed that subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of IL‐1β often leads to significantly shorter, blunt‐tipped tails. Three times during early development, on postnatal day 5 (P5), P8, and P11, C57BL/6J pups were given s.c. injection of either .2 μg/kg IL‐1β or 5 cc/kg injection of saline vehicle followed, after a 45 min delay, by a second injection, of either 103.9 mg/kg APAP or saline. IL‐1β was observed to reduce tail length—via a blunting of the tail tip—in treated vs. untreated mice, an effect that was significant as early as P11 and persisted through the end of the study (~P74). Interestingly, IL‐1β‐induced tail blunting was significantly lessened by APAP, an interaction that may have occurred as a result of the opposing actions of APAP and IL‐1β on cyclooxygenase‐2. Although this specific hypothesis and the mechanisms underlying the effects of IL‐1β on tail length require further study, they add to the literature suggesting that IL‐1β may be a critical mediator of specific adverse effects of early‐life inflammation.
Development of a robust reporter gene assay for measuring the bioactivity of OX40‐targeted therapeutic antibodies
Authors: Li Meng , Wang Lan , Yu Chuanfei , Wang Junzhi 
Published: December 2020

AbstractOX40 plays a prominent role in the onset and development of solid tumors, and OX40‐targeted monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have entered clinical trials for various tumors. Bioactivity determination of therapeutic mAbs is of great significance in product quality, however, mechanism of action‐based bioassays to determine the bioactivity of anti‐OX40 mAbs is still lacking. Here, we established a reporter gene assay system based on two cell lines, namely Jurkat‐OX40‐NFκB‐Luc which stably expresses NFκB‐controlled luciferase, and Raji cells which inherently express FcγRs. In the model, FcγRs on Raji cells could crosslink the Fc of anti‐OX40 mAbs, which leads to the further crosslinking between Fab of anti‐OX40 mAbs and OX40 on Jurkat‐OX40‐NFκB‐Luc cells. OX40 crosslinking could activate Jurkat‐OX40‐NFκB‐Luc cells, and induce the expression of NFκB‐controlled luciferase, the extent of which could reflect the bioactivity of anti‐OX40 mAbs in a dose‐dependent manner. After the optimization of various assay conditions, the validation of the cell‐based bioassay showed good assay performance characteristics, including specificity, accuracy, precision, linearity, and stability. This innovative assay that is based on the OX40‐NFκB pathway can be a powerful pool to measure the bioactivity of OX40‐targeted mAbs.
Amnion‐Chorion Membrane in Open‐Wound Approach for Localized Horizontal Ridge Augmentation: A Case Series Report
Authors: Yu Shan‐Huey , Oh Tae‐Ju , Wang Hom‐Lay , Chan Hsun‐Liang 
Published: December 2020

IntroductionGuided bone augmentation often requires extensive releasing of the mucoperiosteal flap to achieve primary wound closure, an invasive procedure that can compromise the keratinized tissue volume and increase patient morbidity. Amnion‐chorion membranes have been used to actively promote healing in chronic open‐wound situations in the medical field, suggesting that they could be used in a similar manner in the oral cavity.The ability to use open‐wound healing techniques for guided bone regeneration would allow clinicians to avoid invasive procedures that cause additional tissue trauma at the surgical site.Case SeriesAmnion‐chorion membranes were applied over the bone grafting material augmenting localized horizontal ridge defects, and a gap between the flaps was left intentionally during healing. Minor flap releasing procedures were performed in these cases, which demonstrated uneventful soft tissue healing, good volume of bone regeneration and preserved keratinized tissue.ConclusionsPreliminary clinical outcomes suggested contained minor horizontal ridge defects may be treated satisfactorily in a controlled, open‐wound healing manner that reduces surgical trauma, chair time, and patient morbidity.

AbstractThe need of intubation and mechanical ventilation is associated with poor prognosis in COVID‐19 patients. Herein, we present two cases of patients with COVID‐19 where intubation and mechanical ventilation failed, and therefore, percutaneous dilatational tracheotomy was performed. The usage of PDT was associated with faster and better recovery in these patients.
Enhanced characterization of yeast hydrolysate combining acid digestion and 1D‐1H NMR targeted profiling
Authors: Quattrociocchi Marco , Boegel Scott J. , Aucoin Marc G. 
Published: December 2020

AbstractYeast extract, or autolysate, is a required component for many cell‐culture media, but its exact constituents and benefits are unknown. Yeast extract contains a diverse assortment of metabolites, often present in complex forms (eg, polypeptides and polynucleotides). This study employs one‐dimensional proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1D‐1H NMR) spectroscopy to analyze free (ie, readily available) components present in commercially available yeast autolysate. The product is monitored while further subjected to acid hydrolysis, allowing for a more robust understanding of the exact components present, particularly those contained in complex forms. The amino acids and glucose compounds behaved as expected based on other acid hydrolysis studies, and were modelled similarly. Parameter estimation was in strong agreement with pre‐hydrolysis targeted 1D‐1H NMR profiling. This analysis was expanded to components not as thoroughly investigated and was especially applicable to nucleic compounds. Acid hydrolysis revealed that the yeast extract was approximately 5.4% nucleic material by weight, mostly composed of adenosine, and largely provided by RNA due to the presence of uracil and lack of thymidine. Choline‐containing compounds were also positively identified with an observable increase of free choline during hydrolysis. 1D‐1H NMR spectroscopy allowed for the simultaneous monitoring of a significant number of yeast‐extract metabolites, some of which were previously unreported. Utilizing 1D‐1H NMR spectroscopy in conjunction with acid hydrolysis led to a more complete view of the compounds present, and accounted for an additional 24% of the yeast‐extract mass.
