sp. nov., a novel member of the genus , isolated from the West Pacific Ocean.

Two Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile and short-rod-shaped bacteria, designated as strains GL-53 and GL-15-2-5, were isolated from the seamount area of the West Pacific Ocean and identified using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The growth of strains GL-53ᵀ and GL-15-2-5 occurred at pH 5.5-10.

An α-hemoglobin-derived peptide (m)VD-hemopressin (α) promotes NREM sleep via the CB cannabinoid receptor.

Hemopressin and related peptides have shown to function as the endogenous ligands or the regulator of cannabinoid receptors. The previous studies demonstrated that the endocannabinoid system played important roles in modulating several physiological functions such as sleep, olfaction, emotion, learning and memory, and reward behaviors. Mouse VD-hemopressin (α) [(m)VD-HPα], an 11-residue peptide derived from the α1 chain of hemoglobin, was recently presumed as a selective agonist of the CB receptor.

gen. nov. sp. nov., a novel member of the family , isolated from the West Pacific Ocean.

Two strains (GL-11-2 and ZH2-Y79) were isolated from the seawater collected from the West Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea, respectively. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped. Cells grew in the medium containing 0.

gen. nov., sp. nov., gen. nov., sp. nov. and sp. nov., three novel members isolated from deep-sea water in the southwest Indian ridge.

Three Gram-staining-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped strains, designated as T40-1, T40-3 and JL-62, were isolated from the deep-sea water in the southwest Indian ridge. For strain T40-1, growth occurred at 15-37 °C (optimum, 28 °C), pH 6.0-9.

Luteirhabdus pelagi gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the family Flavobacteriaceae, isolated from the West Pacific Ocean.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, and yellow-pigmented bacterium, designated A3-108, was isolated from seawater of the West Pacific Ocean. Cells were non-motile and rod-shaped, with carotenoid-type pigments. Strain A3-108 grew at pH 6.

Physiological and genomic features of with the description of sp. nov.

Strains M65, M69 and JN25 were isolated from seawater of the West Pacific Ocean. Cells of the three strains were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped. Cells were motile by means of flagella.

gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel non-marine bacterium belonging to the group, and reclassification of (Zhong . 2015) as gen. nov., comb. nov.

An aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-sporulating, flagellated and spindle-like bacterium, designated HY14, was isolated from a pickle-processing factory wastewater sample. The isolate chemoheterotrophically grew at 4-42 °C (optimum, 35 °C) and pH 5.5-9.

Cerebral functional abnormalities in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy: an observational magnetic resonance resting-state study.

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is sensitive to radiotherapy (RT). However, neurocognitive complications such as memory loss and learning and attention deficits emerge in the survivors of NPC who received RT. It remains unclear how radiation affects patient brain function.

Acupoint injection of onabotulinumtoxin A for migraines.

Onabotulinumtoxin A (BoNTA) has been reported to be effective in the therapy for migraines. Acupuncture has been used worldwide for the treatment of migraine attacks. Injection of a small amount of drug at acupuncture points is an innovation as compared to traditional acupuncture.

Neuropeptide S ameliorates olfactory spatial memory impairment induced by scopolamine and MK801 through activation of cognate receptor-expressing neurons in the subiculum complex.

Our previous studies have demonstrated that neuropeptide S (NPS), via selective activation of the neurons bearing NPS receptor (NPSR) in the olfactory cortex, facilitates olfactory function. High level expression of NPSR mRNA in the subiculum complex of hippocampal formation suggests that NPS-NPSR system might be involved in the regulation of olfactory spatial memory. The present study was undertaken to investigate effects of NPS on the scopolamine- or MK801-induced impairment of olfactory spatial memory using computer-assisted 4-hole-board spatial memory test, and by monitoring Fos expression in the subiculum complex in mice.
