Whole-Genome Sequencing of the Entomopathogenic Fungus KMZW-1 and Its Efficacy Against .
Curr Issues Mol Biol
October 2024
KMZW-1 is recognized for its potential as a biocontrol agent against agricultural and forestry pests, particularly due to its compatibility with integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. This study aimed to investigate the complete genome of KMZW-1 and assess its pathogenicity against . Whole-genome sequencing revealed a genome size of 47,239,278 bp, comprising 27 contigs, with a GC content of 51.

The MC4-2 strain was found to have good broad-spectrum inhibition by plate stand-off test. Based on 16S rRNA and genes, ANI analysis, and other comparative genomics methods, it was determined that the MC4-2 strain was .

- Fenugreek is a widely cultivated medicinal plant, and this study analyzed its metabolites and genes during seed development to understand its growth and antifungal properties.
- Researchers identified nearly 10,000 metabolites, with important components including flavonoids and steroids, and highlighted pathways related to flavonoid biosynthesis.
- The study found a significant number of differentially expressed genes, particularly those involved in flavonoid and alkaloid synthesis, and demonstrated fenugreek's potential as a botanical pesticide through its antifungal activity.
Study of stress-strain loops on cardiotoxicity related to immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Echocardiography
January 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) impact left ventricular myocardial work using pressure-strain loops (PSL) in heart function.
- Involvement included 43 patients receiving immunotherapy and 43 healthy controls, with measurements taken at three different treatment phases (before, after three cycles, and after six cycles).
- Results showed a significant decline in specific myocardial work indices after treatment, indicating potential cardiotoxic effects from ICIs, while conventional echocardiographic parameters remained unchanged.
Background: Early onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD) is a neurodegenerative disease associated with the action ofto genetic factors. A mutated phospholipase A2 type VI gene () is considered to be one of pathogenic genes involved in EOPD development. Although EOPD caused by a mutated has been recorded in major databases, not all mutant genotypes have been reported.

Methods: This was a prospective study involving 907 normal fetuses. We measured the diameter (Duv) of two different segments of the UV (FUV: the free loop of the UV; FIUV: the fetal intra-abdominal UV).

Objective: To understand the prevalence of hospital healthcare workers (HCWs) with needle-stick and other sharps injuries, and to provide the basic data for intervention study.
Methods: A retrospective investigation was conducted with questionnaires for needle-stick and other sharps injuries from January 1- to December 31 of 2009 among 1201 healthcare workers in a general hospital.
Results: The total number of needle-stick and other sharps injuries among 1201 healthcare workers in 2009 was 4320, the number of needle-stick and other sharps injuries for each person was 3.
