Authors: Sirri Rubina , Diana Alessia , Scarpa Filippo , Brachelente Chiara , Vitellozzi Giovanni , Ceredi Luca , Mandrioli Luciana 
Published: September 2015

AbstractAn adult Goldfish (Carassius auratus) developed an exophitic, multinodular, mass in the dorsal region involving the fin. The clinical and pathologic approach included ultrasonography, cytology, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and ultrastructural evaluation. B‐mode and color Doppler ultrasonographic findings showed an oval, well‐defined mass with slightly inhomogeneous parenchymatous echotexture associated with an intense intralesional vascularization. Cytology and histology revealed neoplastic pleomorphic spindle cells arranged in a storiform pattern or in palisades typical of Antoni A pattern schwannoma. Moderate anisocytosis and anisokaryosis and occasional binucleation were also present. The neoplastic tissue deeply infiltrated the skeletal muscle of the dorsal region. Immunohistochemistry showed a diffuse cytoplasmic immunoreactivity of neoplastic cells to S100 protein and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA); glial fibrillary acidic protein was negative. The PCNA proliferation rate was 23.5% (calculated as the mean of 10 fields). Ultrastructurally, neoplastic cells were juxtaposed with parallel nuclei forming the typical palisade pattern and sharing cytoplasmic and nuclear features with human schwannoma. This is the first cytologic description supplied with echographic investigation of a malignant schwannoma in a fish species.

ABSTRACT

Similar to other genera and species of bacteria, whole genomic sequencing has revolutionized how we think about and address questions of basic
Vibrio
biology. In this review we examined 36 completely sequenced and annotated members of the
Vibrionaceae
family, encompassing 12 different species of the genera
Vibrio, Aliivibrio
, and
Photobacterium
. We reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships among representatives of this group of bacteria by using three housekeeping genes and 16S rRNA sequences. With an evolutionary framework in place, we describe the occurrence and distribution of primary and alternative sigma factors, global regulators present in all bacteria. Among
Vibrio
we show that the number and function of many of these sigma factors differs from species to species. We also describe the role of the
Vibrio
-specific regulator ToxRS in fitness and survival. Examination of the biochemical capabilities was and still is the foundation of classifying and identifying new
Vibrio
species. Using comparative genomics, we examine the distribution of carbon utilization patterns among
Vibrio
species as a possible marker for understanding bacteria-host interactions. Finally, we discuss the significant role that horizontal gene transfer, specifically, the distribution and structure of integrons, has played in
Vibrio
evolution.

ObjectiveExtend analyses of maternal mental health and infant growth in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to children through age eight years, and broaden analyses to cognitive and psychosocial outcomes.DesignCommunity-based longitudinal cohort study in four LMICs (Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam). Surveys and anthropometric assessments were carried out when the children were approximately ages 1, 5 and 8 years. Risk of maternal common mental disorders (rCMDs) was assessed with the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ)-20 (score ≥8).SettingRural and urban as well as low- and middle-income communities.Participants7722 mothers and their children.Main outcome measuresChild stunting and underweight (Z score ≤2 of height and weight for age), and <20th centile for: cognitive development (Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test), and the psychosocial outcomes self pride and life satisfaction.ResultsA high rate of rCMD, stunting and underweight was seen in the cohorts. After adjusting for confounders, significant associations were found between maternal rCMDs and growth variables in the first year of life, with persistence to age 8 years in India and Vietnam, but not in the other countries. India and Vietnam also showed significant associations between rCMDs and lower cognitive development. After adjustment, rCMD was associated with low life satisfaction in Ethiopia but not in the other cohorts.ConclusionsAssociations of maternal rCMD in the first year of life with child outcomes varied across the study cohorts and, in some cases, persisted across the first 8 years of life of the child, and included growth, cognitive development and psychosocial domains.
Fish consumption and risk of depression: a meta-analysis
Authors: Li Fang , Liu Xiaoqin , Zhang Dongfeng 
Published: September 2015

BackgroundThe association between fish consumption and risk of depression is controversial. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the association.MethodsA literature search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science database for all relevant studies up to March 2015. We pooled the relative risks (RRs) with 95% CIs from individual studies with random effects model, and conducted meta-regression to explore potential sources of heterogeneity. Publication bias was estimated by Egger's test and the funnel plot.ResultsA total of 26 studies involving 150 278 participants were included in the present meta-analysis. The pooled RR of depression for the highest versus lowest consumption of fish was 0.83 (95% CI 0.74 to 0.93). The findings remained significant in the cohort studies (RR=0.84, 95% CI 0.75 to 0.94, n=10) as well as in the cross-sectional studies (RR=0.82, 95% CI 0.68 to 1.00, n=16). When men and women were analysed separately, a significant inverse association was also observed. There was no evidence of publication bias.ConclusionsThis meta-analysis indicates that high-fish consumption can reduce the risk of depression.

Published: September 2015

BackgroundUganda has one of the world's highest fertility rates, and high unmet need for family planning, even when clients have contact with health facilities. Misconceptions about contraceptive side effects and inadequate training for healthcare workers contribute to this.AimTo develop and evaluate in-service training for family planning, across a whole institution.DesignCourse evaluation. Impact on services.MethodsFollowing a needs assessment, two courses were developed, adapting WHO'sTraining Resource Package for Family Planning.All staff were offered level 1 training (five 1 h sessions). The 30 h level 2 course aimed to train clinical staff to certificate level; assessed by written exam, consultation skills and presentations. Quantitative evaluation assessed changes in pre-course and post-course knowledge and confidence scores. Participant feedback was analysed thematically.ResultsOf the hospital's 76 clinical staff, 44 attended some training. Of these, 21 attended and 19 completed level 2. Mean knowledge scores increased from 15.9 (SD 4.5) to 20.8 (SD 3.1)/26 (95% CI 4.9 (2.5–7.2)). Confidence rose from 8.1 (SD 1.5) to 9.5 (SD 0.5) (95% CI 1.4 (0.7–2.2)). Nine were accredited to fit intrauterine devices and implants, and three just implants. Screening for unmet need is being introduced and outreach work aims to overcome barriers to adoption of family planning.ConclusionsBrief in-service training improves health workers’ knowledge and skills, corrects misconceptions and increases the priority given to family planning. When aligned to local need and the culture of the institution, training can prompt moves to address unmet need for family planning.

Background—
Both HIV and depression are associated with increased heart failure (HF) risk. Depression, a common comorbidity, may further increase the risk of HF among adults with HIV infection (HIV+). We assessed the association between HIV, depression, and incident HF.

Methods and Results—

Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) participants free from cardiovascular disease at baseline (n=81 427: 26 908 HIV+, 54 519 without HIV [HIV−]) were categorized into 4 groups: HIV− without major depressive disorder (MDD) [reference], HIV− with MDD, HIV+ without MDD, and HIV+ with MDD.
International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision
codes from medical records were used to determine MDD and the primary outcome, HF. After 5.8 years of follow-up, HF rates per 1000 person-years were highest among HIV+ participants with MDD (9.32; 95% confidence interval [CI], 8.20–10.6). In Cox proportional hazards models, HIV+ participants with MDD had a significantly higher risk of HF (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.45–1.95) compared with HIV− participants without MDD. MDD was associated with HF in separate fully adjusted models for HIV− and HIV+ participants (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.06–1.37; and adjusted hazard ratio, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.11–1.51, respectively). Among those with MDD, baseline antidepressant use was associated with lower risk of incident HF events (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.58–0.99).

Conclusions—
Our study is the first to suggest that MDD is an independent risk factor for HF in HIV+ adults. These results reinforce the importance of identifying and managing MDD among HIV+ patients. Future studies must clarify mechanisms linking HIV, MDD, antidepressants, and HF and identify interventions to reduce HF morbidity and mortality in those with both HIV and MDD.

Background—
Myocardial infarction (MI) is an ischemic wound that recruits millions of leukocytes. MI-associated blood leukocytosis correlates inversely with patient survival, yet the signals driving heightened leukocyte production after MI remain incompletely understood.

Methods and Results—

With the use of parabiosis surgery, this study shows that soluble danger signals, among them interleukin-1β, increase bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell proliferation after MI. Data obtained in bone marrow reconstitution experiments reveal that interleukin-1β enhances hematopoietic stem cell proliferation by both direct actions on hematopoietic cells and through modulation of the bone marrow’s hematopoietic microenvironment. An antibody that neutralizes interleukin-1β suppresses these effects. Anti-interleukin-1β treatment dampens the post-MI increase in hematopoietic stem cell proliferation. Consequently, decreased leukocyte numbers in the blood and infarct reduce inflammation and diminish post-MI heart failure in ApoE
–/–
mice with atherosclerosis.

Conclusions—
The presented insight into post-MI bone marrow activation identifies a mechanistic target for muting inflammation in the ischemically damaged heart.

BackgroundDebate over the role of fructose in mediating cardiovascular risk remains active. To update the evidence on the effect of fructose on established therapeutic lipid targets for cardiovascular disease (low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL]‐C, apolipoprotein B, non‐high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL‐C]), and metabolic syndrome (triglycerides andHDL‐C), we conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of controlled feeding trials.Methods and ResultsMEDLINE,EMBASE,CINHAL, and the Cochrane Library were searched through July 7, 2015 for controlled feeding trials with follow‐up ≥7 days, which investigated the effect of oral fructose compared to a control carbohydrate on lipids (LDL‐C, apolipoprotein B, non‐HDL‐C, triglycerides, andHDL‐C) in participants of all health backgrounds. Two independent reviewers extracted relevant data. Data were pooled using random effects models and expressed as mean difference with 95%CI. Interstudy heterogeneity was assessed (Cochran Q statistic) and quantified (I2statistic). Eligibility criteria were met by 51 isocaloric trials (n=943), in which fructose was provided in isocaloric exchange for other carbohydrates, and 8 hypercaloric trials (n=125), in which fructose supplemented control diets with excess calories compared to the control diets alone without the excess calories. Fructose had no effect onLDL‐C, non‐HDL‐C, apolipoprotein B, triglycerides, orHDL‐C in isocaloric trials. However, in hypercaloric trials, fructose increased apolipoprotein B (n=2 trials; mean difference = 0.18 mmol/L; 95%CI: 0.05, 0.30;P=0.005) and triglycerides (n=8 trials; mean difference = 0.26 mmol/L; 95%CI: 0.11, 0.41;P<0.001). The study is limited by small sample sizes, limited follow‐up, and low quality scores of the included trials.ConclusionsPooled analyses showed that fructose only had an adverse effect on established lipid targets when added to existing diets so as to provide excess calories (+21% to 35% energy). When isocalorically exchanged for other carbohydrates, fructose had no adverse effects on blood lipids. More trials that are larger, longer, and higher quality are required.Clinical Trials RegistrationURL:https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/. Unique Identifier:NCT01363791.
<p><strong>Scientific results of the BRYOTROP expedition to Zaire and Rwanda 7. Life strategies of epiphytic bryophytes from tropical lowland and montane forests, ericaceous woodlands and the <em>Dendrosenecio </em>subpáramo of the eastern Congo basin and the adjacent mountains (Parc National de Kahuzi-Biega/Zaire, Forêt de Nyungwe/Rwanda)</strong></p>

Published: September 2015

Life strategies of epiphytic bryophytes are studied along an altitudinal gradient from the eastern Congo basin (tropical lowland zone) to the mountains of the East-African graben (tropical subalpine/alpine Zone; BRYOTROP III-transect). Three strategies, Colonists, Perennial shuttle species and Perennial stayers can be observed, which are further subdivided according to their reproduction tactic (high sexual reproductive effort, high asexual reproductive effort, moderately or low sexual and asexual reproductive effort). Of these, only taxa with a long life span (perennials) are of importance, indicating the unchanging and constant ecological conditions and long-lasting microsites, provided by the epiphytic habitats. The basis for the life strategy pattern analysis along the altitudinal gradient were plant sociological investigations and the determination of the mean percentage cover values for the different life strategy categories. By this, the distribution and occurrence of the different strategies within the communities and the altitudinal zones can be shown. Typical for the epiphytes of the primary rain-forests of the tropical lowland and lower montane zone are Perennial shuttle species and Perennial stayers with moderately or low sexual and asexual reproductive effort. This strategy obviously is favoured by the well balanced, high temperature and humidity regime of these zones and typical of most of the liverworts, dominating the epiphytic communities. They are replaced in the montane rain-forests and cloudy moss forests of the upper tropical montane zone by Perennial shuttle species with high asexual reproductive effort, regenerating mainly by propagules and clonal growth. Within the secondary woodlands of this zone and the unique ericaceous woodlands and subpáramo of the African volcanos, Perennial shuttle species and Perennial stayers with high sexual reproductive effort reach a maximum, building regularly sporophytes under the already xeric and strong diurnal climatic conditions of the subalpine/alpine zone. This reproduction strategy is typical of epiphytic communities of xerophytic woodlands. The frequent change within the life strategy spectra of the different altitudinal zones indicates, that life strategies can be seen as a set of co-evolved adaptive traits, which grow and evolve within different taxa under similar ecological conditions.
Two new acoels (Acoelomorpha) of the genus Haplogonaria from the northwest Atlantic
Authors: HOOGE MATTHEW D. , TYLER SETH 
Published: September 2015

Two previously unknown species of Haplogonaria (Acoela), H. schillingi sp. nov. and H. baki sp. nov., are described from the coastline of Maine, USA. The two species are morphologically similar to each other but H. schillingi can be distinguished from H. baki by its red pigmentation, its possession of a large genital atrium that branches posteriorly to the seminal vesicle and anteriorly to the vagina, a seminal vesicle that is more ellipsoid-shaped than spherical, and a well-defined wall in the seminal bursa. We provide a description of the new species using live observation, light microscopy of serial sagittal sections, and confocal microscopy imaging of F-actin. We compare the morphology of the new species with other members of the genus and discuss the phylogenetic position of H. schillingi in light of conflicting morphological and molecular data.
