Ultramicrobacteria (UMB) that can pass through a 0.22 µm filter are attractive because of their novelty and diversity. However, isolating UMB has been difficult because of their symbiotic or parasitic lifestyles in the environment. Some UMB have extracellular electron transfer (EET)-related genes, suggesting that these symbionts may grow on an electrode surface independently. Here, we attempted to culture from soil samples bacteria that passed through a 0.22 µm filter poised with +0.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl and isolated Cellulomonas sp. strain NTE-D12 from the electrochemical reactor. A phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA showed 97.9% similarity to the closest related species, Cellulomonas algicola, indicating that the strain NTE-D12 is a novel species. Electrochemical and genomic analyses showed that the strain NTE-D12 generated the highest current density compared to that in the three related species, indicating the presence of a unique electron transfer system in the strain. Therefore, the present study provides a new isolation scheme for cultivating and isolating novel UMB potentially with a symbiotic relationship associated with interspecies electron transfer.

Background: Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) of the culprit infarct artery is a rare finding in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). While anticoagulants have been suggested to reduce recurrent events, the optimal antithrombotic therapy remains unclear.
Methods: OVER-TIME was an open label, exploratory, randomized controlled trial comparing dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT; acetyl-salicylic-acid 100mg plus clopidogrel 75mg daily) versus single antiplatelet (SAPT, clopidogrel 75mg) plus DOAC (rivaroxaban 15mg) in patients with ACS and CAE.

Background And Objectives: Anti-NMDA receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis generally manifests in young adults. Although 80%-90% returns to independence, the majority experience persistent cognitive and psychosocial difficulties. Studies have demonstrated that cognitive recovery may continue for years; the temporal trajectory is largely unknown, as are factors influencing cognitive/psychosocial recovery.

Background: There is uncertainty about the best approaches for advanced airway management (AAM) and the effectiveness of adrenaline treatments in Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This study aimed to evaluate whether AAM and adrenaline administration provided by Emergency Medical Service (EMS) can improve the outcomes of OHCA.
Methods: This study was a prospective analysis of collected data based on OHCA adult patients treated by the EMS in China from January 2019 to December 2020.

Introduction: Histopathological alterations in the ileum and colon in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are controversial, and normal values are poorly established. We hypothesized that changes in mucosal immune cells characterize IBS and key changes in immune composition are associated with the mucosa-associated microbiota (MaM).
Methods: A nested case-control study (48 IBS and 106 controls included) from 745 colonoscopy participants in a random population sample.
