Abstract:

The aim of solved problem is a development of a new invasive means for improvised explosive devices deactivation. The idea is a quick and reliable disposal of improvised explosive device with construction system as a tube bombe. Such tube bomb has to be deactivated, dismantled and to do not explode. The development of shaped – cumulative charge was conceptually solved in a way to pushed down metal end caps of the tube bomb, to pick up explosive with a detonating fuse and to prevent from its explosion. Dismantled parts put to forensic test, for the improvised explosive device constructer revelation.

Abstract:

Characteristics of capillary and test tube procedures for thermal inactivation kinetic analysis of microbial cells were studied for mold spores. During heating, capillaries were submerged in a water bath and test tubes were held with their caps positioned above the level of the heating medium. Thermal inactivation curves of Aspergillus niger spores in capillaries at around 60°C consisted of a shoulder and a fast linear decline, whereas curves in test tubes consisted of a shoulder, a fast linear decline, and a horizontal tail. There were no significant differences in values of the rate and the delay of fast declines in curves between the procedures. Some experiments were done to clarify the cause for tailing with test tubes. There were no tails with test tubes whose inner walls were not contaminated by A. niger spores, suggesting that tails arise from A. niger spores contaminating the inner walls of test tubes. Temperature of the inner wall at the level of a heating medium was lower than that of the medium. Further, there were no tails for test tubes submerged in the heating medium. These results showed that the reason for survival of contaminants on the upper wall of test tubes was that cells were not subjected to sufficient inactivation temperature. Finally, thermal inactivation curves of A. niger spores in capillaries at various constant temperatures were studied. Curves consisted of a shoulder and a fast linear decline at 57°C and above, whereas curves at below 57°C consisted of a shoulder, a fast linear decline, and a sloping tail.

Abstract:

The present work evaluated the effects of different types of culture flask seals and varying concentrations of sucrose and activated charcoal on the in vitro induction and growth of buds of Annona glabra L.; an edible fruit-producing species popularly known as "araticum". Nodal segments obtained from A. glabra plants maintained in green houses were surface sterilized and inoculated into a WPM culture medium solidified with 7 g L-1 of agar and supplemented with sucrose (0.00; 29.21; 58.63 and 116.84 mM), activated charcoal (0.0 and 2.0 g L-1), and 250 mg L-1 benomyl. In addition to the varying concentrations of sucrose and activated charcoal, we evaluated the efficiency of two types of test tube seals: PVC film, and cotton plugs. All possible combinations of caps and nutrient media were tested with 4 repetitions with 5 tubes each, evaluating the number of buds, the percentage of explant responses, the number of expanded leaves per bud, the length of the largest leaves, leaf abscission, and the length and dry weight of the buds. The type of seal influenced organogenesis in nodal segments of A. glabra, and no bud induction was observed in the absence of sucrose. The largest number of expanded leaves were obtained when 58.42 mM of sucrose was used in tubes sealed with cotton plugs, and leaf abscission was halved in the presence of activated charcoal. The greatest bud length and dry weight were obtained in tubes sealed with cotton plugs and in the presence of activated charcoal.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this article was to evaluate the impact of intraoral aging and site specificity on debris accumulation and friction in molar tubes after intraoral use. Materials and methods A total of 80 intraorally used first molar convertible tubes were provided by 20 orthodontic adolescent patients after 6 months of treatment. The specimens were divided into eight groups (n = 10) according to the mouth quadrant and the type of examination [four groups of ten tubes for scanning electron microscope (SEM) and four groups of ten tubes for friction test]. Scanning electron microscope examination was performed after opening the convertible caps and friction test was executed using a 0.019” × 0.025” stainless steel wire, which was inserted in the tubes belonging to each group. The Mann. Whitney test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Bonferroni tests were performed for statistical analysis at 0.01 level of significance. Results There was a significant increase in the amount of debris and frictional force after 6 months of intraoral exposure (p < 0.0001). Debris scores were higher (10% increase) on the upper tubes when compared with the lower ones, with no statistical difference. Mean frictional force ranged from 0.22 to 0.26 N according to the mouth quadrant, but the difference between groups was also not significant. Conclusion After 6 months of intraoral exposure, there was a significant increase in the amount of debris in the first molar tube slots, leading to significantly higher frictional forces during sliding mechanics. The influence of site specificity on the amount of debris and on frictional forces of the first molar tubes could not be demonstrated. Clinical significance Molar tubes should be cleaned, before and during sliding mechanics, in order to minimize friction. How to cite this article Chaptini E, Khoury E, Cacciafesta V, Naaman N.

Abstract:

Abstract. Nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes measured using the eddy-covariance method capture the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of N2O emissions. Most closed-path trace-gas analyzers for eddy-covariance measurements have large-volume, multi-pass absorption cells that necessitate high flow rates for ample frequency response, thus requiring high-power sample pumps. Other sampling system components, including rain caps, filters, dryers, and tubing, can also degrade system frequency response. This field trial tested the performance of a closed-path eddy-covariance system for N2O flux measurements with improvements to use less power while maintaining the frequency response. The new system consists of a thermoelectrically cooled tunable diode laser absorption spectrometer configured to measure both N2O and carbon dioxide (CO2). The system features a relatively small, single-pass sample cell (200 mL) that provides good frequency response with a lower-powered pump ( ∼ 250 W). A new filterless intake removes particulates from the sample air stream with no additional mixing volume that could degrade frequency response. A single-tube dryer removes water vapour from the sample to avoid the need for density or spectroscopic corrections, while maintaining frequency response. This eddy-covariance system was collocated with a previous tunable diode laser absorption spectrometer model to compare N2O and CO2 flux measurements for two full growing seasons (May 2015 to October 2016) in a fertilized cornfield in Southern Ontario, Canada. Both spectrometers were placed outdoors at the base of the sampling tower, demonstrating ruggedness for a range of environmental conditions (minimum to maximum daily temperature range: −26.1 to 31.6 °C). The new system rarely required maintenance. An in situ frequency-response test demonstrated that the cutoff frequency of the new system was better than the old system (3.5 Hz compared to 2.30 Hz) and similar to that of a closed-path CO2 eddy-covariance system (4.05 Hz), using shorter tubing and no dryer, that was also collocated at the site. Values of the N2O fluxes were similar between the two spectrometer systems (slope = 1.01, r2 = 0.96); CO2 fluxes as measured by the short-tubed eddy-covariance system and the two spectrometer systems correlated well (slope = 1.03, r2 = 0.998). The new lower-powered tunable diode laser absorption spectrometer configuration with the filterless intake and single-tube dryer showed promise for deployment in remote areas.

Abstract:

The production of hydrogen gas as an alternative fuel cell which is a renewable energy, is now in great demand by utilizing waste aluminum beverage cans and added water using NaOH catalyst by electrolysis process. The research method will be carried out by inserting 1 gram of aluminum pieces into a tube and 300 ml of distilled water followed by a NaOH catalyst. Both faucets are opened to release air during the filling process. The faucet is closed when the height of the solution in both tubes is the same. Then turn on the DC flow, then adjust the voltage according to the variable. The filling period is recorded until the specified reaction time. The results of the gas volume obtained are recorded, and the hydrogen obtained is determined by the flame test. From the research it can be concluded that the hydrogen gas produced from the reaction can be identified by means of a flame test. The characteristics of hydrogen gas appear in flames which tend to disappear in the air. At Al 5 gr Weight : 5 M NaOH concentration is the largest volume of hydrogen. The reaction time of 150 minutes will produce a lot of hydrogen gas. The largest volume of hydrogen gas lies at a voltage of 20 volts.

Abstract:

The flotation-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction method of mono-, di -, and trichloroacetic acids (CAAs) has been developed. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) was used as an extractant. The emulsification was performed by the ultrasonic irradiation. The microextraction procedure was carried out in a 27 ml special tube. It was equipped with the capillaries for sampling the extract and an air outlet. A salting-out additive (Na2SO4) was used to reduce the solubility of MTBE in water and to increase the extraction efficiency of CAAs. The air passage through the emulsion of the extractant was carried out using the eight-channel capillary bubbler. The organic matrix replacement was applied for ion chromatographic determination of CAAs with the conductivity detection. Current study showed the advantages of the flotation-assisted demulsification over the centrifugal one. The concentration factors of chlorinated acetic acids were 2-3 times higher. The detection limits of CAAs in water were reduced to (5·10-4 - 4·10-3 mg/l). The extraction time was reduced by more than three times. The trueness of the determination of HUC impurities was confirmed by the addition method. The statistical insignificance of the systematic error in comparison with the random error was shown. The developed method of preconcentration in combination with ion chromatography made it possible to determine the concentrations of CAAs 40-1250 times lower than the normalized SanPiN and WHO. This allowed conducting a highly sensitive determination of CAAs in water long before the onset of the critical ecological state.

Abstract:

Premolded internal threads on composite tubes were developed. The composite tubes with threads on both ends were made using a mandrel with a male thread. The threads can be applied to struts with adjustable end fits and composite pressure vessels with threaded caps that enable disassembly for inspection and repair. Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) prepregs were laid up on a mandrel, wrapped with shrink tape, and cured in an oven. The threads were built-in, without using machine cutting, and the fibers on the thread were continuous through the thread and tubes for high strength. The thread was alternately rounded, convex, and concave in shape to enable CFRP prepregs to be laid up. Two types of specimen were made and tested. The layup sequence of specimen A was [0/h/90/h/0/h(1/2)]s, and that of specimen B was [0/h/90/h/90/h/0/h/90/h/90/h/90/h/90/h/0/h/90/90/0], where “h” denotes a helical layer along the concave part of the threads. The relation between load and strain is nonlinear because of the rounded shape of the threads; however, a simple and closed form analytical model was able to predict the strength of the threads and design of the threads. The model was compared with the experimental results. In addition, an application of threads for the pressure vessel of the hybrid rocket motor is also reported. The combustion test proceeded without failure. Visual inspection after the test indicated that the threads and tubes were not damaged, and thus, they can be applied to high-pressure and high-temperature rocket motors.

Abstract:

Social learning occurs when one individual learns from another, mainly conspecific, often by observation, imitation, or communication. Using artificial flowers, we studied social learning by allowing test bumblebees to (a) see dead bumblebees arranged in foraging positions or (b) watch live bumblebees actually foraging or (c) communicate with nestmates within their colony without having seen foraging. Artificial flowers made from 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes with closed caps were inserted through the centres of blue 7 cm plastic discs as optical signals through which the bees could not forage. The reinforcer reward syrup was accessible only through holes in the sides of the tubes beneath the blue discs. Two colonies (A and B) were used in tandem along with control (C and D) colonies. No bee that was not exposed (i.e., from the control colonies (C and D)) to social learning discovered the access holes. Inside colony B, we imprisoned a group of bees that were prevented from seeing or watching. Bees that saw dead bumblebees in foraging positions, those that watched nest-mates foraging, and those that had only in-hive communication with successful foragers all foraged successfully. The means of in-hive communication are not understood and warrant intense investigation.

Abstract:

The potential benefits of the application of a circular economy—converting biomass at Za'atari Syrian refugee camps into energy—was investigated in this study. Representative organic waste and sludge samples were collected from the camp, mixed in different ratios, and analyzed in triplicate for potential biogas yield. Numerous calorific tests were also carried out. The tangential benefit of the co-digestion that was noticed was that it lowered the value of the total solid content in the mixture to the recommended values for wet digestion without the need for freshwater. To test the potential methane production, the automated methane potential test system (AMPTS) and the graduated tubes in the temperature-controlled climate room GB21 were utilized. Also, calorific values were determined for the organic waste and sludge on both a dry and a wet basis. The maximum biogas production from 100% organic waste and 100% sludge using AMPTS was 153 m3 ton-1 and 5.6 m3 ton-1, respectively. Methane yield reached its maximum at a Vs sub/ Vs inoculum range of 0.25–0.3. In contrast, the methane yield decreased when the Vs sub/ Vs inoculum exceeded 0.46. The optimum ratio of mixing of municipal food waste to sludge must be carefully selected to satisfy the demands of an energy production pilot plant and avoid the environmental issues associated with the sludge amount at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). A possible ratio to start with is 60–80% organic waste, which can produce 21–65 m3· biogas ton-1 fresh matter (FM). The co-digestion of organic waste and sludge can generate 38 Nm3/day of methane, which, in theory, can generate about 4 MW in remote refugee camps.

Abstract:

Objective. The aim of this study was to establish a baseline titre for the population of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Method. Four hundred healthy blood donors, attending blood donation camps, were screened using a survey questionnaire. Widal tube agglutination test was performed on the diluted sera (with 0.9% normal saline) of blood donors, with final dilution ranging from 1 : 40 to 1 : 320. Results. Out of 400 individuals providing samples, 78 (19.5%) individuals showed antibody titres ≥ 1 : 40 for at least one antigen and 322 (80.5%) showed no agglutination. The baseline antibody titres against O antigen and H antigen of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi were found to be 1 : 40 and 1 : 80, respectively. Similarly, the baseline antibody titres for the H antigen of Salmonella enterica serotypes Paratyphi A and Paratyphi B were found to be 1 : 40 and 1 : 80, respectively. Conclusion. Thus, it was noted that the diagnostically significant cutoff of antibody titre from acute phase sample was ≥ 1 : 80 for S. Typhi O antigen and titre of ≥ 1 : 160 for both S. Typhi H antigen and S. Paratyphi BH antigen. Antibody titre of ≥ 1 : 80 can be considered significant for S. Paratyphi AH antigen.

ABSTRACT Aim The present study was to evaluate pH values of apexification materials. Materials and methods The materials were placed in 1 cm long and 4 mm diameter tubes. After sample immersion, glass flasks were hermetically sealed with rubber caps to attenuate any effects of external environmental factors and maintained at 37°C. The power hydrogen of the pastes was measured 1 hour, 3 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours, 72 hours and 7 days after preparation. pH was calibrated with solutions of known pH (7.0). Mann-Whitney test were used to determine significant differences. Results The mean pH of all medications was < 12.0 throughout the experiment. At 24 hours, EndoCal 10 had the highest pH of all the materials (p < 0.05). Conclusion A ccording t o t he r esults o btained, i t m ay b e concluded that calcium oxide (EndoCal 10) presented the higest pH compared with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Calasept Plus [Ca(OH)2]. Clinical significance Apexification is an important treatment in immature teeth. For this reason, used materials in apexification should have some properties, such as high pH and stimulating to be hard tissue. Therefore, the material should be chosen carefully in apexification of immature teeth. How to cite this article Çiçek E, Bodrumlu E.

Abstract Abstract 4822 Background: Sickle cell disease is an inherited disorder of hemoglobin synthesis. This is due to replacement of Valine for Glutamic Acid in position six of the Beta globin chain of hemoglobin. This genetic alteration yields unstable RBC which lasts for 10–20 days. In stressful conditions the cells become sickle shaped and get lysed. There are about 20 million people with sickle cell disease in India. During January 2009- May2010 camps were held in various parts of West Bengal, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh. Along with various mutations of thalassemia, we also observed sickle cell anemia among them. This triggered our interest to study the spectrum of the sickle mutation co-inheritant with different mutations such as Homozygous Sickle Cell, Sickle Cell-Beta0 Thalassemia, Sickle Cell-Beta+ Thalassemia, Severe β+ thalassemia genes, Moderate β+ thalassemia genes, Mild β+ thalassemia genes Sickle cell-HbE Thalassaemia, Sickle cell-HPFH Thalassaemia, in said part of India. Since Indian patients with SS disease had higher hemoglobin, red cell counts and higher HbF levels and lower HbA2, MCHC, MCV, and reticulocyte counts, hence a high hemoglobin is a risk factor for painful crises and may also be a risk factor for avascular necrosis of the femoral head, proliferative sickle retinopathy, and acute chest syndrome. Methods: We have screened 332 individuals in eastern part of India during the period January 2009- May 2010. 3ml of peripheral blood was collected in EDTA vial from each individual. NESTROFT (Naked Eye Single Tube Red Cell Osmotic Fragility Test) was performed on spot. Then Complete Blood Count was done within 24 hours of collection. HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) was performed to identify the samples for confirmation. In our observation in case of sickle cell anaemia HbF (Fetal haemoglobin), Hb (haemoglobin), MCV (mean corpuscular volume) values ranges between 0–10 %, ≤7-10g/dl, 65–90fl respectively. ARMS (Amplification Refractory Mutation System) PCR (polymerase chain reaction) was done to confirm the mutation. Result: Conclusion: Of the total samples collected in the camps held at various places of Jharkand, Chattisgarh & West Bengal 87 of them was carriers of sickle cell anemia. There was 7 homozygous (SS), 14 sickle beta, 12 double heterozygous for HPFH (High Persistance of Fetal Hemoglobin) & sickle cell anemia. In conclusion, the manifestations of sickle cell disease are influenced by a variety of other genetic and environmental factors. The occurrence of the disease against different genetic and environmental backgrounds provides experimental models that contribute to understanding the variability in clinical and hematological expression of the disease.

Abstract:

Encouraging clinical results were reported on a novel cone-in-cone coupling for the fixation of dental implant-supported crowns (Acuris, Dentsply Sirona Implants, Mölndal, Sweden). However, the presence or absence of a microgap and a potential bacterial leakage at the conometric joint has not yet been investigated. A misfit and a resulting gap between the conometric components could potentially serve as a bacterial reservoir that promotes plaque formation, which in turn may lead to inflammation of the peri-implant tissues. Thus, a two-fold study set-up was designed in order to evaluate the bidirectional translocation of bacteria along conometrically seated single crowns. On conometric abutments filled with a culture suspension of anaerobic bacteria, the corresponding titanium nitride-coated (TiN) caps were fixed by friction. Each system was sterilized and immersed in culture medium to provide an optimal environment for microbial growth. Positive and negative controls were prepared. Specimens were stored in an anaerobic workstation, and total and viable bacterial counts were determined. Every 48 h, samples were taken from the reaction tubes to inoculate blood agar plates and to isolate bacterial DNA for quantification using qrt-PCR. In addition, one Acuris test system was subjected to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to evaluate the precision of fit of the conometric coupling and marginal crown opening. Throughout the observational period of one week, blood agar plates of the specimens showed no viable bacterial growth. qrt-PCR, likewise, yielded a result approaching zero with an amount of about 0.53 × 10−4 µg/mL DNA. While the luting gap/marginal opening between the TiN-cap and the ceramic crown was within the clinically acceptable range, the SEM analysis failed to identify a measurable microgap at the cone-in-cone junction. Within the limits of the in-vitro study it can be concluded that the Acuris conometric interface does not allow for bacterial translocation under non-dynamic loading conditions.

Abstract Abstract 5114 BACKGROUND Thalassemia syndromes are a heterogeneous anemia caused by mutation affecting globin chains of the hemoglobin molecule. It is estimated that the average life span of Rabhas (tribal population of North Bengal, Jalpaiguri) range from 42 – 45 years. This raised a concern that they are perishing due to some genetic disease. Hence Screening Camps were conducted to identify the reason. Rabha is a little known Scheduled Tribe community of West Bengal. Assam now renamed to Asom is a North-East India state of India with its capital at Dispur. The Rabha people are mainly found in the jungles of Jalpaiguri. West Bengal is a States and territories of India in eastern India. With Bangladesh, which lies on its eastern border the state forms the ethno-linguistic region of Bengal. Jalpaiguri is the largest district of North Bengal, covering an area 6,245 sq.km. It is situated between 26 16' and 27 0' North latitudes and 88 4' and 89 53' East longitudes and Cooch Behar district. Cooch Behar is a district of the state of West Bengal, India, as well as the name of the town which gives its name to the district. The whole area of Eastern and Western Dooars, may be termed as the cradle land of the Rabhas. The Rabhas belong to Indo-Mongoloid group of people and have similarities with other members of Bodo. Bodo may stand for: *Bod A city in Norway* An ethnic community in India: the Bodo people*The Bodo language spoken by them. group such as Garo (tribe). The Garos are a tribe in Meghalaya, India, and Mymensingh District, Bangladesh, who call themselves Achik. Kachari. The Kacharis are the most widely spread tribe in northeast India. They are said to be the earliest inhabitants of the Brahmaputra Valley. Mech (tribe), Koch. Our objectives were- Awareness among the tribal population through talks and documentaries and discussions with community leaders with demonstrations at village level. The goal of thalassemia screening is to identify the carrier status among Rabha populations, to control the birth of affected children thus eradicating thalassemia among them & to save one of the oldest tribe from being extinct. MATERIAL & METHODS At first an Awareness Programme was held among the Rabhas & then with the written consent peripheral blood was collected for thalassemia screening test. The screening age lies between 10 – 35 years. Firstly, NESTROFT (Naked Eye Single Tube Red Cell Osmotic fragility Test) was performed for spot detection. This was followed by CBC (Complete Blood Count) & HPLC (High performance Liquid Chromatography) for confirmation. Molecular Analysis of every sample was done using ARMS PCR. All together 277 individuals were screened. Of which 119 (43%) were HbE carrier & 110 (40%) were HbE homozygous. Rest of them was normal. The carrier & homozygous status was confirmed by performing ARMS PCR. The sensitivity of NESTROFT in this case was 95 %. CONCLUSION Thus the percentage of HbE carrier & HbE homozygous is very high among the Rabhas. But one thing is to be noted that their % of haemoglobin is very high. This might be one of the reasons that they do not require blood transfusion during their life span. It is spreading like a rapid fire due to consanguineous marriage among them. This is one of the reasons for the early mortality. In our project of Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India we'll complete carrier status detection of total Rabha population (11,000) within 3 years.

Abstract:

Background-Otitis media with effusion leads to hearing loss which may significantly compromise the cognitive, linguistic and emotional development of children. It usually goes undiagnosed because the children do not have any complaints and the next of kin do not notice any symptoms such as hearing loss. Methods-411 children of the age group 5-8 years from various camps conducted in sub-urban areas of Ajmer, Rajasthan were subjected to complete ear, nose throat examination in the period of June 2018 to December 2018.27 children were excluded on the basis of exclusion criteria and 384 children were then considered for the study. Hearing assessment was done by tuning fork test & those who had a hearing loss were than subjected to pure tone audiogram and tympanometry at our center. An interview was done with the parents of these children to acquire information about the academic and social behavior of these children with the help of a questionnaire. Results- 89 (21.30%) children were suffering from otitis media with effusion and 26 (6.77%) children had Eustachian tube blockage which is a precursor to otitis media with effusion. Almost all of these children were poor in social and academic performance. Conclusion- The high incidence of undiagnosed otitis media with effusion warrants an awareness program for parents and teachers and also if possible a regular screening program for children. Key words: otitis media with effusion, serous otitis media, conductive hearing loss.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae harbors several prions that constitute powerful models to investigate the mechanisms of epigenetic structural inheritance. [PSI +] is undoubtedly the best-known yeast prion and results from the conversion of the translation termination factor Sup35p into self-perpetuating protein aggregates. Structurally different conformers of Sup35p aggregates can lead to [PSI +] strains with weak or strong prion phenotypes. Yeast prions are faithfully transmitted from mother to daughter cells during cell division, upon cytoplasmic mixing during mating, or when Sup35p fibrils made in test tubes are introduced into spheroplasts. Virtually all living cells in the three domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, secrete small membrane vesicles in the extracellular space. These extracellular vesicles (EV) have gained increasing interest as vehicles for the intercellular transfer of signaling molecules, nucleic acids, and pathogenic factors, as well as prion-like protein aggregates associated with neurodegenerative diseases. To begin to explore the question of whether EV could represent a natural mean for yeast prion transmission from cell to cell, we purified these extracellular vesicles and assessed whether they contained Sup35p. Here, we show that Sup35p is secreted within EV released in the extracellular medium of yeast cultures. We demonstrate that Sup35p within EV isolated from strong and weak [PSI +] cells is in an infectious prion conformation. Among the possible implications of our work is the possibility of previously unsuspected EV-mediated horizontal cell-to-cell transfer of fungal prions. IMPORTANCE Most living cells in the three domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, secrete small membrane vesicles in the extracellular space. These extracellular vesicles (EV) were long viewed as “trash cans” by which cells disposed of unwanted macromolecules. EV gained renewed interest as their roles as vehicles for the cell-to-cell transfer of nucleic acids, signaling molecules, and pathogenic factors were recently uncovered. Of particular interest is their proposed role in the prion-like propagation of toxic protein aggregates in neurodegenerative diseases. Yeasts naturally harbor prion proteins that are excellent models to investigate the mechanisms of formation, propagation, and elimination of self-perpetuating protein aggregates. Here we show for the first time that a yeast prion is secreted within EV in its infectious aggregated state. A major implication of our work is the possibility of EV-mediated horizontal spread of fungal prions.

Abstract:

Abstract Background and Aims Infectious complications occur in a significant proportion of PD patients, limiting long-term applicability. Reduced peritoneal immune-competence, caused by the continuous exposure to PD-fluids, has been described as a therapy-related pathomechanisms, prompting the need for a tool to assess the functional peritoneal immune status. We established an ex-vivo stimulation assay to test host defence mechanisms in only 9ml of PD-effluent. The aim of this study was to analyse basal inflammation and immune-competence in the general PD population at routine conditions to evaluate the assay as surrogate parameter of immune competence and linking it to PD vintage and clinical outcome parameters. Method 147 of 284 (51.8%) adult and paediatric PD patients treated between April 2013 and September 2020 at the local Department of Nephrology were included in the analysis. The study was approved by the local ethics committee and was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Patients were exclusively treated with neutral pH/multi-chamber PD fluids during the glucose dwells. The majority of the 558 included PD-effluent samples were obtained during standard 4-hours peritoneal equilibration tests (PET) with 3.86% glucose containing PDF. Samples from the pre-PET dwell and at PET time points 1-hour and 4-hours were collected and immediately processed. Additional effluent samples were obtained during unscheduled hospitalization and in the event of an acute peritonitis. Effluent samples were collected directly from the drainage bags into standard 9 ml additive-free sample tubes. For ex-vivo stimulation, 100 ng/ml toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 agonist LPS and TLR2 agonist Pam3Cys were added to the effluent in the 9 ml collection tubes in duplicates and incubated at 37°C for 24h. Unstimulated samples kept in parallel were used as controls. IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations were measured with ELISA in the supernatants. Results Ex-vivo stimulation of peritoneal cells significantly increased the IL-6 and TNF-α release compared to unstimulated controls and resulted in a dwell-time dependent increase, with a significant lower cytokine released at the 1h PET time point. To assess local inflammation IL-6 levels of crude effluent were determined. IL-6 concentrations remained stable over time on PD. Interestingly, we were able to show higher IL-6 levels in CAPD patients in comparison to APD. As chronic exposure to PD-fluids has been shown to dampen the peritoneal immune competence, consecutive peritoneal effluent bags, obtained from patients were analysed. In this subcohort of 183 4h-PET effluents we found a decline in cytokine secretion with time on PD (IL-6 r=-0.27, p=0.00015, TNFa r=-0.25, p=0.00071). In a subgroup the ex-vivo cytokine release of effluent samples from patients with an acute peritonitis was assessed. IL-6 levels of acute peritonitis effluent samples did not differ from the stimulated IL-6 levels of effluent samples without acute peritonitis (2.45 pg/mL vs 2.31 pg/mL, p=0.85, t-test) suggesting that the assay seemingly represents the in-vivo host-defence cytokine release accurately. Conclusion The study provides evidence of a correlation of declining local host defence and duration of PD-therapy. It supports the hypothesis of PD duration-dependent progressive impairment of the ability of the peritoneal immune cells to secrete cytokines in response to a pathogenic stimulus and thereby dampening the global peritoneal immuno-competence. This suggests the utility of this clinically feasible ex-vivo induced cytokine-release assay in peritoneal effluent as a surrogate of the functional peritoneal immune competence. Future analyses need to evaluate the assay as a tool to predict common clinical outcomes and define reference values to facilitate stratification of patient populations, clinical staging and to guide novel therapeutic interventions.
