Redefining the bacteriophage mv4 site-specific recombination system and the sequence specificity of its attB and core-attP sites.

Through their involvement in the integration and excision of a large number of mobile genetic elements, such as phages and integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs), site-specific recombination systems based on heterobivalent tyrosine recombinases play a major role in genome dynamics and evolution. However, despite hundreds of these systems having been identified in genome databases, very few have been described in detail, with none from phages that infect Bacillota (formerly Firmicutes). In this study, we reanalyzed the recombination module of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp.

High-Density Lipoprotein Particles and Torque Teno Virus in Stable Outpatient Kidney Transplant Recipients.

Torque teno virus (TTV) is emerging as a potential marker for monitoring immune status. In transplant recipients who are immunosuppressed, higher TTV DNA loads are observed than in healthy individuals. TTV load measurement may aid in optimizing immunosuppressive medication dosing in solid organ transplant recipients.

Surgical evolution in spinal dural arteriovenous fistula treatment-a 7 years monocentric experience.

Accounting for 70% of all spinal vascular malformations, spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVF) are the most common type of malformation. Interruption of the fistulous arterialized vein point is the goal of surgical treatment. The aim of the study was to compare open surgery (laminectomy) versus minimal invasive surgery (MIS) in SDAVF treatment.

Automatic trajectory control of single cells using dielectrophoresis based on visual feedback.

This paper deals with the automatic control of the trajectory of T-lymphocytes using dielectrophoretic (DEP) actuation. Dielectrophoresis is a physical phenomenon induced by a non-uniform electric field enabling application of a force on a dielectric object. In most of the cases, it is used in a passive way.

Lymphoscintigraphy as a Therapeutic Guidance Tool Can Improve Manual Lymphatic Drainage for the Physical Treatment of Patients with Upper Limb Lymphedema: Randomized Clinical Trial.

The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of lymphoscintigraphically guided manual lymphatic drainage (LG-MLD) and to compare it with standardized manual lymphatic drainage (St-MLD). Fifty-two patients with lymphedema of the upper limb who underwent lymphoscintigraphy were randomly allocated into two groups. Following the phase of physical activity, the control group underwent two phases of St-MLD as the experimental group underwent a first phase of St-MLD followed by a second phase of LG-MLD.

Absorption/Attenuation Spectral Description of ESKAPEE Bacteria: Application to Seeder-Free Culture Monitoring, Mammalian T-Cell and Bacteria Mixture Analysis and Contamination Description.

Despite numerous innovations, measuring bacteria concentrations on a routine basis is still time consuming and ensuring accurate measurements requires careful handling. Furthermore, it often requires sampling small volumes of bacteria suspensions which might be poorly representative of the real bacteria concentration. In this paper, we propose a spectroscopy measurement method based on a description of the absorption/attenuation spectra of ESKAPEE bacteria.

Indo-cyanine green administration to identify loss of lymph after axillary lymph node dissection.

Background: Near infrared fluorescence imaging with Indocyanine Green (ICG) is now used for the imaging of lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels. In this work, we investigated the impact of its pre-operative and peri-operative administration on our ability to detect axillary lymphatic loss after breast cancer surgery.

Methods: One subcutaneous injection of ICG was administered in the ipsilateral hand of 109 women who were scheduled to have either a mastectomy with total axillary lymph node dissection (CALND) or a lumpectomy with selective lymphadenectomy (SLN) the day before (n = 53) or the same day of surgery (n = 56).

A multicentre, patient- and assessor-blinded, non-inferiority, randomised and controlled phase II trial to compare standard and torque teno virus-guided immunosuppression in kidney transplant recipients in the first year after transplantation: TTVguideIT.

Background: Immunosuppression after kidney transplantation is mainly guided via plasma tacrolimus trough level, which cannot sufficiently predict allograft rejection and infection. The plasma load of the non-pathogenic and highly prevalent torque teno virus (TTV) is associated with the immunosuppression of its host. Non-interventional studies suggest the use of TTV load to predict allograft rejection and infection.
