Published: October 2023

BackgroundClinicians around the world perform clinical research in addition to their high workload. To meet the demands of high quality Investigator Initiated Trials (IITs), Clinical Trial Units (CTUs) (as part of Academic Research Institutions) are implemented worldwide. CTUs increasingly hold a key position in facilitating the international mutual acceptance of clinical research data by promoting clinical research practices and infrastructure according to international standards.AimIn this project, we aimed to identify services that established and internationally operating CTUs – members of the International Clinical Trial Center Network (ICN) – consider most important to ensure the smooth processing of a clinical trial while meeting international standards. We thereby aim to drive international harmonization by providing emerging and growing CTUs with a resource for informed service range set-up.MethodsFollowing the AMEE Guide, we developed a questionnaire, addressing the perceived importance of different CTU services. Survey participants were senior representatives of CTUs and part of the ICN with long-term experience in their field and institution.ResultsServices concerning quality and coordination of a research project were considered to be most essential, i.e., Quality management, Monitoring and Project management, followed by Regulatory &amp; Legal affairs, Education &amp; Training, and Data management. Operative services for conducting a research project, i.e., Study Nurse with patient contact and Study Nurse without patient contact, were considered to be least important.ConclusionTo balance the range of services offered while meeting high international standards of clinical research, emerging CTUs should focus on offering (quality) management services and expertise in regulatory and legal affairs. Additionally, education and training services are required to ensure clinicians are well trained on GCP and legislation. CTUs should evaluate whether the expertise and resources are available to offer operative services.

Published: October 2023

IntroductionInvasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS), mainly Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Enteritidis, causes a severe burden in sub-Saharan Africa; however, its reservoir (animal or environmental) is unclear. The present study assessed healthy household members of index patients for intestinal carriage of Salmonella.MethodsIndex patients were admitted to the University Hospital of Kisangani (DR Congo), and Salmonella was grown from blood cultures. Household members were asked to provide three stool samples for culture for Salmonella. Salmonella Typhimurium and S. Enteritidis isolates from index patients, and household members were assessed for genetic relatedness using the multiple-locus variable number of tandem repeat analysis (MLVA), and the multilocus sequence type (ST) was determined by whole genome sequencing.ResultsBetween May 2016 and January 2020, 22 households were visited. The index patient serotypes were Typhimurium, Enteritidis, Typhi, and Paratyphi C; II:42:r:-; and I:7:y:- (n = 8, 7, 5, and each 1, respectively). The median (range) delay between the index patient and household sampling was 25 days (2 days to 7.3 months); 203 household members provided at least one stool sample. In all, 15 (7.3%) Salmonella carriers were found in nine of 22 households. For one index patient, the household comprised S. Typhimurium in four household members, including the index patient, sampled 27 days after bloodstream infection; the MLVA types of these five isolates were similar. They belonged to ST313 lineage 2 and were closely related [0–1 allelic distance (AD) among the stool isolates and eight AD with the blood culture isolate]. In another household, the stool culture of the index patient (obtained 67 days after bloodstream infection) grew S. Enteritidis of the same MLVA type; both isolates belonged to the ST11 Central/Eastern African clade and were closely related (three AD).DiscussionThe present study provides evidence of household clustering of S. Typhimurium ST313 and intestinal carriage of iNTS several weeks after bloodstream infection.

BackgroundDysregulation of feeding behavior leads to a variety of pathological manifestations ranging from obesity to anorexia. The foraging behavior of animals affected by food deficiency is not fully understood.MethodsHome-Cage system was used to monitor the behaviors. Immunohistochemical staining was used to monitor the trend of neuronal activity. Chemogenetic approach was used to modify neuronal activity.ResultsWe described here a unique mouse model of foraging behavior and unveiled that food deprivation significantly increases the general activities of mice with a daily rhythmic pattern, particularly foraging behavior. The increased foraging behavior is potentiated by food cues (mouthfeel, odor, size, and shape) and energy deficit, rather than macronutrient protein, carbohydrate, and fat. Notably, energy deficiency increases nocturnal neuronal activity in paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVH), accompanying a similar change in rhythmic foraging behavior. Activating neuronal activity in PVH enhances the amplitude of foraging behavior in mice. Conversely, inactivating neuronal activity in PVH decreases the amplitude of foraging behavior and impairs the rhythm of foraging behavior.DiscussionThese results illustrate that energy status and food cues regulate the rhythmic foraging behavior via PVH neuronal activity. Understanding foraging behavior provides insights into the underlying mechanism of eating-related disorders.
Multi-Meta Information Embedding Enhanced BERT for Chinese Mechanics Entity Recognition
Authors: Zhang Jiarong , Yuan Jinsha , Zhang Jing , Luo Zhihong , Li Aitong 
Published: October 2023

The automatic extraction of key entities in mechanics problems is an important means to automatically solve mechanics problems. Nevertheless, for standard Chinese, compared with the open domain, mechanics problems have a large number of specialized terms and composite entities, which leads to a low recognition capability. Although recent research demonstrates that external information and pre-trained language models can improve the performance of Chinese Named Entity Recognition (CNER), few efforts have been made to combine the two to explore high-performance algorithms for extracting mechanics entities. Therefore, this article proposes a Multi-Meta Information Embedding Enhanced Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers (MMIEE-BERT) for recognizing entities in mechanics problems. The proposed method integrates lexical information and radical information into BERT layers directly by employing an information adapter layer (IAL). Firstly, according to the characteristics of Chinese, a Multi-Meta Information Embedding (MMIE) including character embedding, lexical embedding, and radical embedding is proposed to enhance Chinese sentence representation. Secondly, an information adapter layer (IAL) is proposed to fuse the above three embeddings into the lower layers of the BERT. Thirdly, a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) network and a Conditional Random Field (CRF) model are applied to semantically encode the output of MMIEE-BERT and obtain each character’s label. Finally, extensive experiments were carried out on the dataset built by our team and widely used datasets. The results demonstrate that the proposed method has more advantages than the existing models in the entity recognition of mechanics problems, and the precision, recall, and F1 score were improved. The proposed method is expected to provide an automatic means for extracting key information from mechanics problems.

Hericium rajendrae is an emerging species in the genus Hericium with few members. Despite being highly regarded due to its rarity, knowledge about H. rajendrae remains limited. In this study, we sequenced, de novo assembled, and annotated the complete genome of H. rajendrae NPCB A08, isolated from the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi, China, using the Illumina NovaSeq and Nanopore PromethION technologies. Comparative genomic analysis revealed similarities and differences among the genomes of H. rajendrae, H. erinaceus, and H. coralloides. Phylogenomic analysis revealed the divergence time of the Hericium genus, while transposon analysis revealed evolutionary characteristics of the genus. Gene family variation reflected the expansion and contraction of orthologous genes among Hericium species. Based on genomic bioinformation, we identified the candidate genes associated with the mating system, carbohydrate-active enzymes, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Furthermore, metabolite profiling and comparative gene clusters analysis provided strong evidence for the biosynthetic pathway of erinacines in H. rajendrae. This work provides the genome of H. rajendrae for the first time, and enriches the genomic content of the genus Hericium. These findings also facilitate the application of H. rajendrae in complementary drug research and functional food manufacturing, advancing the field of pharmaceutical and functional food production involving H. rajendrae.

Relevance. Despite the variety of antibacterial drugs, including multicomponent ones, chlorhexidine-containing antiseptics are nowadays the gold standard of antiseptic products relevant for periodontal therapy. At the same time, adverse side effects and new data about unfavourable chlorhexidine effects on the microbiome determine it necessary to search for a new optimal chlorhexidine-containing product that combines high effectiveness and relative safety. Purpose. The study aimed to compare and analyze the effectiveness of chlorhexidine-containing antiseptics used in dental practice.Material and Methods. The study analyzed the results of clinical studies published from 2018 to 2023 and devoted to the investigation of chlorhexidine effectiveness in the treatment of periodontal diseases. The publications were searched in the Pub Med database by the keywords 'chlorhexidine', 'periodontal disease', and 'periodontitis'. A total of eighty-four publications corresponded to the search criteria. After the primary analysis of all available publications corresponding to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, we studied and analyzed 32 publications.Results. The analysis of the publications for the past five years extracted a trend for a more frequent increase of chlorhexidine concentrations to 0.12% and 0.2% in periodontal therapy medications.Conclusion. Prescribing chlorhexidine-containing medications should be reasonable and respond to the characteristics of the clinical picture. At that, a thorough selection of chlorhexidine active agent concentration, a form of presentation and duration of use should correspond to the clinical situation and goal.
