The new transmission flow-chart was created using symptoms from previous medical records of STEMI patients. A total of 4090 consecutive patients transferred emergently to our hospital were divided into two groups: those in ambulances with an ECG-transmission device with the new flow-chart (ECGT-FC) and those transferred without an ECG-transmission device (non-ECGT) groups.

The purposes of this study were to create a new flow-chart of prehospital
|
| 18 |

electrocardiography (ECG)-transmission, evaluate its predictive ability for
|
| 19 |
+
ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and shorten door-to-balloon time
|
| 20 |

(DTBT). The new transmission flow-chart was created using symptoms from
|
| 21 |
+
previous medical records of STEMI patients. A total of 4090 consecutive
|
| 22 |
+
patients transferred emergently to our hospital were divided into two
|

groups: those in ambulances with an ECG-transmission device with the new

flow-chart (ECGT-FC) and those transferred without an ECG-transmission

device (non-ECGT) groups. A STEMI group comprising walk-in patients during

the same period was used as a control group. The predictive ability of STEMI
|
| 27 |

and the effectiveness of shortening the DTBT by the new flow-chart of

higher than in the non-ECG-transmission patients (6.71% vs. 0.19%; p<0.001).
|

The sensitivity and specificity of the new ECG-transmission flow-chart were

The co-occurrence of infectious diseases (ID) and non-communicable diseases
|
| 48 |
+
(NCD) is widespread, presenting health service delivery challenges
|
| 49 |
+
especially in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Integrated health
|
| 50 |
+
care is a possible solution but may require a paradigm shift to be
|
| 51 |
+
successfully implemented. This literature review identifies integrated care
|
| 52 |
+
examples among selected ID and NCD dyads. We searched PubMed, PsycINFO,
|
| 53 |
+
Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Web of Science, EMBASE, Global Health Database,
|
| 54 |
+
and selected clinical trials registries. Eligible studies were published
|
| 55 |
+
between 2010 and December 2022, available in English, and report health
|
| 56 |
+
service delivery programs or policies for the selected disease dyads in
|
| 57 |
+
LMICs. We identified 111 studies that met the inclusion criteria, including
|
| 58 |
+
56 on tuberculosis and diabetes integration, 46 on health system adaptations
|
| 59 |
+
to treat COVID-19 and cardiometabolic diseases, and 9 on COVID-19, diabetes,
|
| 60 |
+
and tuberculosis screening. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, most studies on
|
| 61 |
+
diabetes-tuberculosis integration focused on clinical service delivery
|
| 62 |
+
screening. By far the most reported health system outcomes across all
|
| 63 |
+
studies related to health service delivery (n = 72), and 19 addressed health
|
| 64 |
+
workforce. Outcomes related to health information systems (n = 5),
|
| 65 |
+
leadership and governance (n = 3), health financing (n = 2), and essential
|
| 66 |
+
medicines (n = 4)) were sparse. Telemedicine service delivery was the most
|
| 67 |
+
common adaptation described in studies on COVID-19 and either
|
| 68 |
+
cardiometabolic diseases or diabetes and tuberculosis. ID-NCD integration is
|
| 69 |
+
being explored by health systems to deal with increasingly complex health
|
| 70 |

needs, including comorbidities. High excess mortality from COVID-19
|
| 71 |
+
associated with NCD-related comorbidity prompted calls for more integrated
|

ID-NCD surveillance and solutions. Evidence of clinical integration of
|

health service delivery and workforce has grown-especially for HIV and
|
| 74 |

NCDs-but other health system building blocks, particularly access to
|

Repeated bottleneck passages of RNA viruses result in accumulation of
|
| 83 |
+
mutations and fitness decrease. Here, we show that clones of foot-and-mouth
|
| 84 |
+
disease virus (FMDV) subjected to bottleneck passages, in the form of
|
| 85 |
+
plaque-to-plaque transfers in BHK-21 cells, increased the thermosensitivity
|
| 86 |
+
of the viral clones. By constructing infectious FMDV clones, we have
|
| 87 |
+
identified the amino acid substitution M54I in capsid protein VP1 as one of
|
| 88 |
+
the lesions associated with thermosensitivity. M54I affects processing of
|
| 89 |
+
precursor P1, as evidenced by decreased production of VP1 and accumulation
|
| 90 |
+
of VP1 precursor proteins. The defect is enhanced at high temperatures.
|
| 91 |
+
Residue M54 of VP1 is exposed on the virion surface, and it is close to the
|
| 92 |
+
B-C loop where an antigenic site of FMDV is located. M54 is not in direct
|
| 93 |
+
contact with the VP1-VP3 cleavage site, according to the three-dimensional
|
| 94 |
+
structure of FMDV particles. Models to account for the effect of M54 in
|
| 95 |
+
processing of the FMDV polyprotein are proposed. In addition to revealing a
|
| 96 |
+
distance effect in polyprotein processing, these results underline the
|
| 97 |
+
importance of pursuing at the biochemical level the biological defects that
|
| 98 |
+
arise when viruses are subjected to multiple bottleneck events.

Foot-and-mouth disease is a highly contagious viral illness of wild and
|
| 105 |
+
domestic cloven-hoofed animals. The causative agent, foot-and-mouth disease
|
| 106 |
+
virus (FMDV), replicates rapidly, efficiently disseminating within the
|
| 107 |
+
infected host and being passed on to susceptible animals via direct contact
|
| 108 |
+
or the aerosol route. To survive in the host, FMDV has evolved to block the
|
| 109 |
+
host interferon (IFN) response. Previously, we and others demonstrated that
|
| 110 |
+
the leader proteinase (L(pro)) of FMDV is an IFN antagonist. Here, we report
|
| 111 |
+
that another FMDV-encoded proteinase, 3C(pro), also inhibits IFN-α/β

response and the expression of IFN-stimulated genes. Acting in a proteasome-
|
| 113 |
+
and caspase-independent manner, the 3C(pro) of FMDV proteolytically cleaved
|
| 114 |
+
nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NF-κB) essential modulator (NEMO), a
|
| 115 |
+
bridging adaptor protein essential for activating both NF-κB and
|
| 116 |
+
interferon-regulatory factor signaling pathways. 3C(pro) specifically
|
| 117 |
+
targeted NEMO at the Gln 383 residue, cleaving off the C-terminal zinc
|
| 118 |
+
finger domain from the protein. This cleavage impaired the ability of NEMO
|
| 119 |
+
to activate downstream IFN production and to act as a signaling adaptor of
|
| 120 |
+
the RIG-I/MDA5 pathway. Mutations specifically disrupting the cysteine
|
| 121 |
+
protease activity of 3C(pro) abrogated NEMO cleavage and the inhibition of
|
| 122 |
+
IFN induction. Collectively, our data identify NEMO as a substrate for FMDV
|
| 123 |
+
3C(pro) and reveal a novel mechanism evolved by a picornavirus to counteract
|
| 124 |
+
innate immune signaling.

Flourishing is an evolving wellbeing construct and outcome of interest
|
| 129 |
+
across the social and biological sciences. Despite some conceptual
|
| 130 |
+
advancements, there remains limited consensus on how to measure flourishing,
|
| 131 |
+
as well as how to distinguish it from closely related wellbeing constructs,
|
| 132 |
+
such as thriving and life satisfaction. This paper aims to provide an
|
| 133 |
+
overview and comparison of the diverse scales that have been developed to
|
| 134 |
+
measure flourishing among adolescent and adult populations to provide
|
| 135 |
+
recommendations for future studies seeking to use flourishing as an outcome
|
| 136 |

in social and biological research.

Although well-being at work is important for occupational health,
|
| 139 |
+
multi-dimensional workplace well-being measures do not exist for Japanese
|
| 140 |
+
workers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of the
|
| 141 |
+
Japanese version of the Workplace PERMA-Profiler. Japanese workers completed
|
| 142 |
+
online surveys at baseline (N = 310) and 1 month later (N = 100). The
|
| 143 |
+
Workplace PERMA-Profiler was translated according to international
|
| 144 |
+
guidelines. Job and life satisfaction, work engagement, psychological
|
| 145 |
+
distress, work-related psychosocial factors, and work performance were
|
| 146 |
+
measured as comparisons for convergent validity. Cronbach's alphas,
|
| 147 |
+
Intra-class Correlation Coefficients (ICCs), and measurement errors were
|
| 148 |
+
calculated for the reliability, and the validity of the measure was tested
|
| 149 |
+
by correlational analyses and confirmatory factor analysis. A total of 310
|
| 150 |
+
(baseline) and 86 (follow-up) workers responded and were included in the
|
| 151 |
+
analyses. Cronbach's alphas and ICCs of the Japanese Workplace
|
| 152 |
+
PERMA-Profiler ranged from 0.75 to 0.96. Confirmatory factor analysis
|
| 153 |
+
indicated that the 5-factor model demonstrated a marginally acceptable fit
|
| 154 |
+
(χ2 (80) = 351.30, CFI = 0.892, TLI = 0.858, RMSEA = 0.105, SRMR = 0.051).
|
| 155 |
+
Overall well-being and the five PERMA domains had moderate-to-strong
|
| 156 |
+
correlations with job satisfaction, psychological distress (inversely), and
|
| 157 |
+
work-related factors. The Japanese version of the Workplace PERMA-Profiler
|
| 158 |
+
demonstrated adequate reliability and validity. This measure could be useful
|
| 159 |
+
to assess well-being at work, promote well-being research among Japanese
|
| 160 |
+
workers, and address the problem of definition for well-being in further
|
| 161 |
+
studies.

We experience countless pieces of new information each day, but remembering
|
| 164 |
+
them later depends on firmly instilling memory storage in the brain.
|
| 165 |
+
Numerous studies have implicated non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep in
|
| 166 |
+
consolidating memories via interactions between hippocampus and cortex.
|
| 167 |
+
However, the temporal dynamics of this hippocampal-cortical communication
|
| 168 |
+
and the concomitant neural oscillations during memory reactivations remains
|
| 169 |
+
unclear. To address this issue, the present study used the procedure of
|
| 170 |
+
targeted memory reactivation (TMR) following learning of object-location
|
| 171 |
+
associations to selectively reactivate memories during human NREM sleep.
|
| 172 |
+
Cortical pattern reactivation and hippocampal-cortical coupling were
|
| 173 |
+
measured with intracranial EEG recordings in patients with epilepsy. We
|
| 174 |
+
found that TMR produced variable amounts of memory enhancement across a set
|
| 175 |
+
of object-location associations. Successful TMR increased hippocampal
|
| 176 |
+
ripples and cortical spindles, apparent during two discrete sweeps of
|
| 177 |
+
reactivation. The first reactivation sweep was accompanied by increased
|
| 178 |
+
hippocampal-cortical communication and hippocampal ripple events coupled to
|
| 179 |
+
local cortical activity (cortical ripples and high-frequency broadband
|
| 180 |
+
activity). In contrast, hippocampal-cortical coupling decreased during the
|
| 181 |
+
second sweep, while increased cortical spindle activity indicated continued
|
| 182 |
+
cortical processing to achieve long-term storage. Taken together, our
|
| 183 |
+
findings show how dynamic patterns of item-level reactivation and
|
| 184 |
+
hippocampal-cortical communication support memory enhancement during NREM
|
| 185 |
+
sleep.

Amyloid β (Aβ) assemblies exist not only in the central nervous system, but
|
| 192 |
+
can circulate within the bloodstream to trigger and exacerbate peripheral,
|
| 193 |
+
cerebrovascular, and neurodegenerative disorders. Eliminating excess
|
| 194 |
+
peripheral Aβ fibrils, therefore, holds promise to improve the management of
|
| 195 |
+
amyloid-related diseases. Here, we present nanoemulsion-mediated ultrasonic
|
| 196 |
+
ablation of circulating Aβ fibrils to both destroy established plaques and
|
| 197 |
+
prevent the re-growth of ablated fragments back into toxic species. This
|
| 198 |
+
approach is made possible using a de novo designed peptide emulsifier that
|
| 199 |
+
contains the self-associating sequence from the amyloid precursor protein.
|
| 200 |
+
Emulsification of the peptide surfactant with fluorous nanodroplets produces
|
| 201 |
+
contrast agents that rapidly adsorb Aβ assemblies and allows their
|
| 202 |
+
ultrasound-controlled destruction via acoustic cavitation. Vessel-mimetic
|
| 203 |
+
flow experiments demonstrate that nanoemulsion-assisted Aβ disruption can be
|
| 204 |
+
achieved in circulation using clinical diagnostic ultrasound transducers.
|
| 205 |
+
Additional cell-based assays confirm the ablated fragments are less toxic to
|
| 206 |
+
neuronal and glial cells compared to mature fibrils, and can be rapidly
|
| 207 |
+
phagocytosed by both peripheral and brain macrophages. These results
|
| 208 |
+
highlight the potential of nanoemulsion contrast agents to deliver new
|
| 209 |
+
imaging enabled strategies for non-invasive management of Aβ-related
|
| 210 |
+
diseases using traditional diagnostic ultrasound modalities.

The Hfq protein mediates gene regulation by small RNAs (sRNAs) in about 50%
|
| 213 |
+
of all bacteria. Depending on the species, phenotypic defects of an hfq
|
| 214 |
+
mutant range from mild to severe. Here, we document that the purified Hfq
|
| 215 |
+
protein of the plant pathogen and natural genetic engineer Agrobacterium
|
| 216 |
+
tumefaciens binds to the previously described sRNA AbcR1 and its target mRNA
|
| 217 |
+
atu2422, which codes for the substrate binding protein of an ABC transporter
|
| 218 |
+
taking up proline and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Several other ABC
|
| 219 |
+
transporter components were overproduced in an hfq mutant compared to their
|
| 220 |
+
levels in the parental strain, suggesting that Hfq plays a major role in
|
| 221 |
+
controlling the uptake systems and metabolic versatility of A. tumefaciens.
|
| 222 |
+
The hfq mutant showed delayed growth, altered cell morphology, and reduced
|
| 223 |
+
motility. Although the DNA-transferring type IV secretion system was
|
| 224 |
+
produced, tumor formation by the mutant strain was attenuated, demonstrating
|
| 225 |
+
an important contribution of Hfq to plant transformation by A. tumefaciens.

|

Hfq is an RNA-binding protein that functions in post-transcriptional gene
|
| 228 |
+
regulation by mediating interactions between mRNAs and small regulatory RNAs
|
| 229 |
+
(sRNAs). Two proteins encoded by BAB1_1794 and BAB2_0612 are highly
|
| 230 |
+
over-produced in a Brucella abortus hfq mutant compared with the parental
|
| 231 |
+
strain, and recently, expression of orthologues of these proteins in
|
| 232 |
+
Agrobacterium tumefaciens was shown to be regulated by two sRNAs, called
|
| 233 |
+
AbcR1 and AbcR2. Orthologous sRNAs (likewise designated AbcR1 and AbcR2)
|
| 234 |
+
have been identified in B. abortus 2308. In Brucella, abcR1 and abcR2 single
|
| 235 |
+
mutants are not defective in their ability to survive in cultured murine
|
| 236 |
+
macrophages, but an abcR1 abcR2 double mutant exhibits significant
|
| 237 |
+
attenuation in macrophages. Additionally, the abcR1 abcR2 double mutant
|
| 238 |
+
displays significant attenuation in a mouse model of chronic Brucella
|
| 239 |
+
infection. Quantitative proteomics and microarray analyses revealed that the
|
| 240 |
+
AbcR sRNAs predominantly regulate genes predicted to be involved in amino
|
| 241 |
+
acid and polyamine transport and metabolism, and Northern blot analyses
|
| 242 |
+
indicate that the AbcR sRNAs accelerate the degradation of the target mRNAs.
|
| 243 |
+
In an Escherichia coli two-plasmid reporter system, overexpression of either
|
| 244 |
+
AbcR1 or AbcR2 was sufficient for regulation of target mRNAs, indicating
|
| 245 |
+
that the AbcR sRNAs from B. abortus 2308 perform redundant regulatory
|
| 246 |
+
functions.

Considering advice from others is a pervasive element of human social life.
|
| 253 |
+
We used the judge-advisor paradigm to investigate the neural correlates of
|
| 254 |
+
advice evaluation and advice integration by means of functional magnetic
|
| 255 |
+
resonance imaging. Our results demonstrate that evaluating advice recruits
|
| 256 |
+
the "mentalizing network," brain regions activated when people think about
|
| 257 |
+
others' mental states. Important activation differences exist, however,
|
| 258 |
+
depending upon the perceived competence of the advisor. Consistently,
|
| 259 |
+
additional analyses demonstrate that integrating others' advice, i.e., how
|
| 260 |
+
much participants actually adjust their initial estimate, correlates with
|
| 261 |
+
neural activity in the centromedial amygdala in the case of a competent and
|
| 262 |
+
with activity in visual cortex in the case of an incompetent advisor. Taken
|
| 263 |
+
together, our findings, therefore, demonstrate that advice evaluation and
|
| 264 |
+
integration rely on dissociable neural mechanisms and that significant
|
| 265 |
+
differences exist depending upon the advisor's reputation, which suggests
|
| 266 |
+
different modes of processing advice depending upon the perceived competence
|
| 267 |

of the advisor.

The role of antibodies in kidney transplant (KT) has evolved significantly
|
| 270 |
+
over the past few decades. This role of antibodies in KT is multifaceted,
|
| 271 |
+
encompassing both the challenges they pose in terms of antibody-mediated
|
| 272 |
+
rejection (AMR) and the opportunities for improving transplant outcomes
|
| 273 |
+
through better detection, prevention, and treatment strategies. As our
|
| 274 |

understanding of the immunological mechanisms continues to evolve, so too
|
| 275 |

will the approaches to managing and harnessing the power of antibodies in
|
| 276 |

KT, ultimately leading to improved patient and graft survival. This
|
| 277 |

narrative review explores the multifaceted roles of antibodies in KT,
|
| 278 |

including their involvement in rejection mechanisms, advancements in
|
| 279 |

desensitization protocols, AMR treatments, and their potential role in

Humans regulate intergroup conflict through parochial altruism; they
|
| 283 |
+
self-sacrifice to contribute to in-group welfare and to aggress against
|
| 284 |
+
competing out-groups. Parochial altruism has distinct survival functions,
|
| 285 |
+
and the brain may have evolved to sustain and promote in-group cohesion and
|
| 286 |
+
effectiveness and to ward off threatening out-groups. Here, we have linked
|
| 287 |
+
oxytocin, a neuropeptide produced in the hypothalamus, to the regulation of
|
| 288 |
+
intergroup conflict. In three experiments using double-blind
|
| 289 |
+
placebo-controlled designs, male participants self-administered oxytocin or
|
| 290 |
+
placebo and made decisions with financial consequences to themselves, their
|
| 291 |
+
in-group, and a competing out-group. Results showed that oxytocin drives a
|
| 292 |
+
"tend and defend" response in that it promoted in-group trust and
|
| 293 |
+
cooperation, and defensive, but not offensive, aggression toward competing
|
| 294 |
+
out-groups.
