Mineral composition variation in Boletales mushrooms-indication of soil properties and taxonomic influence.

The efficiency of element accumulation depends on numerous factors, where the physico-chemical characteristics of the soil seem to be very important, and the role of taxonomic rank in the accumulation of elements by mushrooms seems to be important. The aim of the study was to compare the mineral composition of 7 species belonging to Leccinum and Suillus genera, collected between 2019 and 2021 from localizations in the west-central part of Poland. The research aimed to indicate the role of selected soil parameters in stimulating/inhibiting the accumulation of elements by selected Boletales mushroom species and to answer the question about the role of species belonging to the genus as an indicator determining the specific mineral composition of fruiting bodies.

Can the concentration of elements in wild-growing mushrooms be deduced from the taxonomic rank?

The mineral composition of wild-growing mushroom species is influenced by various environmental factors, particularly the chemical properties of the soil/substrate. We hypothesised that element uptake might also correlate with taxonomic classification, potentially allowing us to predict contamination levels based on mushrooms within the same taxonomic rank. This study compared the mineral composition (Ag, As, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Hg, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Pb, Se, and Zn) of 16 saprotrophic mushroom species from 11 genera across 4 families and 2 orders.

Current and upcoming treatment approaches to uncommon subtypes of PTCL (EATL, MEITL, SPTCL, and HSTCL).

Rare subtypes of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) including enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL), subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL), and hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) are underrepresented in most registries and clinical studies. Most of the literature is obtained from small case series, single-institution retrospective studies, and subgroup analyses of the largest studies with few recent and ongoing exceptions. Although the pathogenesis and biology of these entities have yet to be fully elucidated, global efforts by the scientific community have started to shed some light on the most frequently deregulated pathways.

CRISPR/Cas9 Mutagenesis through Introducing a Nanoparticle Complex Made of a Cationic Polymer and Nucleic Acids into Maize Protoplasts.

Presently, targeted gene mutagenesis attracts increasing attention both in plant research and crop improvement. In these approaches, successes are largely dependent on the efficiency of the delivery of gene editing components into plant cells. Here, we report the optimization of the cationic polymer poly(2-hydroxypropylene imine) (PHPI)-mediated delivery of plasmid DNAs, or single-stranded oligonucleotides labelled with Cyanine3 (Cy3) or 6-Carboxyfluorescein (6-FAM)-fluorescent dyes into maize protoplasts.

CD19-Targeted Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell Therapy for Concomitant Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma and Multiple Myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) comprise a large fraction of hematologic malignancies diagnosed each year. However, the co-occurrence of these conditions in the same patient is rare. CD19- and B-cell maturation antigen-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies have been approved in recent years with promising responses.

We describe a unique case of idiopathic CD4+T cell lymphocytopaenia complicated by viral-associated disorders in a patient with a heterozygous mutation. A previously healthy woman presented with left-sided neurological deficits. Workup revealed a severe HIV-seronegative CD4+T cell deficiency and white matter brain lesions; brain biopsy confirmed progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy (PML).

Hydrogen peroxide sensor HyPer7 illuminates tissue-specific plastid redox dynamics.

The visualization of photosynthesis-derived reactive oxygen species has been experimentally limited to pH-sensitive probes, unspecific redox dyes, and whole-plant phenotyping. Recent emergence of probes that circumvent these limitations permits advanced experimental approaches to investigate in situ plastid redox properties. Despite growing evidence of heterogeneity in photosynthetic plastids, investigations have not addressed the potential for spatial variation in redox and/or reactive oxygen dynamics.

Biopolymer-based emulsions for the stabilization of Trichoderma atrobrunneum conidia for biological control.

Trichoderma spp. are ubiquitous soil-borne fungi that are widely used in biological control to promote and regulate healthy plant growth, as well as protect against plant pathogens. However, as with many biological materials, the relative instability of Trichoderma propagules limits its practical use in industrial applications.

Mycoremediation of Flotation Tailings with .

Due to their enzymatic and bioaccumulation faculties the use of macromycetes for the decontamination of polluted matrices seems reasonable for bioremediation. For this reason, the aim of our study was to evaluate the mycoremediation ability of cultivated on compost mixed with flotation tailings in different quantities (1, 5, 10, 15, and 20% addition). The biomass of the fruit bodies and the content of 51 major and trace elements were determined.

Road traffic and abiotic parameters of underlying soils determine the mineral composition and nutritive value of the mushroom Macrolepiota procera (Scop.) Singer.

The effectiveness of accumulating mineral elements by wild-growing mushrooms depends mainly on species, their growth place, and the underlying soil's chemical characteristics. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of road traffic and the role of chemical characteristics of soil on the mineral composition of Macrolepiota procera fruit bodies growing in close proximity to a road and an adjacent forest during a four-year period. The concentrations of the majority elements (mainly Al, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ti, and Zn) in the soil near the road were significantly higher than those in the forest soil, which was reflected in the fruit bodies which contained a higher amount of these elements.

Biofortification of Three Cultivated Mushroom Species with Three Iron Salts-Potential for a New Iron-Rich Superfood.

Mushrooms fortified with iron (Fe) can offer a promising alternative to counter the worldwide deficiency problem. However, the factors that may influence the efficiency of fortification have not yet been fully investigated. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of three Fe forms (FeCl 6HO, FeSO 7HO, or FeHBED) in three concentrations (5, 10, or 50 mM) for three mushroom species (, or ) on their chemical composition, phenolic compounds, and organic acid production.

Influence of Iron Addition (Alone or with Calcium) to Elements Biofortification and Antioxidants in .

Mushrooms supplementation with iron (Fe) is usually limited, and therefore it would be beneficial to search for other vital elements able to improve the process. The aim of this study was to verify a possible interaction between Fe and calcium (Ca) to estimate the role of the addition of the latter metal to stimulate Fe accumulation in . Additionally, an analysis of phenolic compounds and low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) was performed.

A Possibility to Use Selected Crop Post-Extraction Wastes to Improve the Composition of Cultivated Mushroom .

A cultivated mushroom species, , is becoming increasingly popular thanks to its attractive colour and medicinal properties. In this study, was grown in a cultivation medium enriched with wheat bran (WB), thymus post-extraction waste (TPEW) and pumpkin post-extraction waste (PPEW) products. The study showed that the post-extraction wastes are a crucial factor determining the accumulation of minerals, the content/profile of low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) and phenolic compounds in fruit bodies, thereby increasing their nutritional value.

Anthropogenic contamination leads to changes in mineral composition of soil- and tree-growing mushroom species: A case study of urban vs. rural environments and dietary implications.

Because wild-growing edible mushroom species are frequently consumed, a knowledge of their mineral composition is essential. The content of elements in mushrooms and their possible beneficial or harmful effect may be influenced by the human-impacted environment. Thus, the aim of the study was to analyse the mineral composition of the soil, trees, and especially soil- and tree-growing mushroom species collected from within a city and from rural areas.

Antecedent infections and vaccinations in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy: A European collaborative study.

Introduction/aims: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) may be rarely preceded by infection. A causative link remains unproven, in contrast to Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), which is commonly postinfectious with well-demonstrated pathophysiological mechanisms of molecular mimicry following Campylobacter jejuni enteritis. Uncommonly, infections are reported before the onset of CIDP.

The Diagnostic and prognostic value of CXCL12 (SDF-1α) level in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and disease.

Introduction: New diagnostic tools are being investigated for rapid and accurate TB detection. We aimed to find out the diagnostic yield and accuracy of chemokine CXCL12 (SDF-1a) levels in diagnosing active TB (aTB) and making a differential diagnosis from other several infectious/non-infectious pulmonary conditions.

Methodology: We collected demographic, clinic features and studied plasma CXCL12 levels using ELISA kit of the participants, classified into five categories: aTB (n = 30); cured TB (cTB, n = 15); close contacts of aTB (CC, n = 15); chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with active nonspecific pulmonary infection (infCOPD, n = 15); and healthy controls (HC, n = 15).

-quinoline-benzenesulfonamide derivatives exert potent anti-lymphoma effect by targeting NF-κB.

We previously identified the -quinoline-benzenesulfonamide (NQBS) scaffold as a potent inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) translocation. Now, we report the structure-activity relationship of compounds with the NQBS scaffold in models of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We identified CU-O42, CU-O47, and CU-O75 as NQBS analogs with the most potent cytotoxic activity in DLBCL lines.

Toxicological risks and nutritional value of wild edible mushroom species -a half-century monitoring study.

The content of major- and trace elements in wild-growing mushrooms has been subject to numerous studies, but the data on long-term trends in this regard are scarce. The aim of research was to determine the content of 34 elements in four edible mushroom species Boletus edulis, Imleria badia, Leccinum scabrum and Macrolepiota procera, and associated soil collected from Polish forests between 1974 and 2019. As initially hypothesized, the element concentration in the studied soil revealed an increasing trend and was positively correlated with their levels found in fruit bodies.

Introduction: Anthracycline-based chemotherapy regimens are associated with decreased cardiac function with cumulative dosing, yet there is limited information regarding the acute cardiotoxic potential of these medications and appropriate medical management strategies. Herein, we report a case of cardiomyopathy following a single dose of doxorubicin and describe our pharmacologic management approach.

Case Report: A 37 year old Jamaican male presented for work-up and treatment of HTLV-1 associated T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.

Family and species as determinants modulating mineral composition of selected wild-growing mushroom species.

It has been known since the 1970s that differences exist in the profile of element content in wild-growing mushroom species, although knowledge of the role of mushroom species/families as determinants in the accumulation of diverse element remains limited. The aim of this study was to determine the content of 63 mineral elements, divided into six separate groups in the fruit bodies of 17 wild-growing mushroom species. The mushrooms, growing in widely ranging types of soil composition, were collected in Poland in 2018.

Multiannual monitoring (1974-2019) of rare earth elements in wild growing edible mushroom species in Polish forests.

There is a growing demand for rare earth elements (REEs) due to their use in modern technologies, and this may result in their emission to the environment. This is the first long-term study to monitor the content of REEs in four edible mushroom species. Over 21,900 samples of fruit bodies (sporocarps) of Boletus edulis, Imleria badia, Leccinum scabrum and Macrolepiota procera and their underlying soils, collected between 1974 and 2019 from 42 forest sites in Poland were examined in an attempt to understand the time evolution of the presence of REEs in the environment.

Reversal of CYLD phosphorylation as a novel therapeutic approach for adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL).

Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a malignancy of mature T cells associated with chronic infection by human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1). ATLL patients with aggressive subtypes have dismal outcomes. We demonstrate that ATLL cells co-opt an early checkpoint within the tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) pathway, resulting in survival advantage.
