One strategy being pursued to clear latently infected cells that persist in people living with HIV (PLWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) is to activate latent HIV infection with a latency reversing agent (LRA). Surrogate markers that accurately measure virus production following an LRA are needed. We quantified cell-associated unspliced (US), multiply spliced (MS) and supernatant (SN) HIV RNA by qPCR from total and resting CD4+ T cells isolated from seven PLWH on ART before and after treatment ex vivo with different LRAs, including histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi). MS and plasma HIV RNA were also quantified from PLWH on ART (n-11) who received the HDACi panobinostat. In total and resting CD4+ T cells from PLWH on ART, detection of US RNA was common while detection of MS RNA was infrequent. Primers used to detect MS RNA, in contrast to US RNA, bound sites of the viral genome that are commonly mutated or deleted in PLWH on ART. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/BIBF1120.html Following ex vivo stimulation with LRAs, we identified a strong correlation between the fold change increase in SN and MS RNA, but not the fold change increase in SN and US RNA. In PLWH on ART who received panobinostat, MS RNA was significantly higher in samples with detectable compared to non0detectable plasma HIV RNA. Following administration of an LRA, quantification of MS RNA is more likely to reflect an increase in virion production and is therefore a better indicator of meaningful latency reversal. NHMRC, NIH DARE collaboratory. NHMRC, NIH DARE collaboratory. While SARS-CoV-2 similarly infects men and women, COVID-19 outcome is less favorable in men. Variability in COVID-19 severity may be explained by differences in the host genome. We compared poly-amino acids variability from WES data in severely affected COVID-19 patients versus SARS-CoV-2 PCR-positive oligo-asymptomatic subjects. Shorter polyQ alleles (≤22) in the androgen receptor (AR) conferred protection against severe outcome in COVID-19 in the first tested cohort (both males and females) of 638 Italian subjects. The association between long polyQ alleles (≥23) and severe clinical outcome (p=0.024) was also validated in an independent cohort of Spanish men <60 years of age (p=0.014). Testosterone was higher in subjects with AR long-polyQ, possibly indicating receptor resistance (p=0.042 Mann-Whitney U test). Inappropriately low serum testosterone level among carriers of the long-polyQ alleles (p=0.0004 Mann-Whitney U test) predicted the need for intensive care in COVID-19 infected men.

The two closely related strains (JC640 and CH01) showed less then 93.3% 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with members of the genus Roseimaritima followed by Rhodopirellula ( less then 91%). Both strains displayed non-canonical cell morphology of Planctomycetes, such as rod shaped cells with division by lateral budding. Both strains showed crateriform structures on their surfaces and cells lack fimbriae. The genomes have a size of about 5.76 Mb and DNA G+C content of 63.6mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence and 92 core genes based RAxML phylogenetic tree place both the strains in the family Pirellulaceae and indicated Roseimaritima sediminicola as their closest relative. The AAI and POCP values differentiate both strains from rest of the members of the family Pirellulaceae. The axenic cultures of both strains were able to grow up to 8-10 passages and subsequently the cells became non-viable with pleomorphic shapes. Supported by genomic, phylogenetic and morphological differences, we conclude that both strains belong to a novel genus. However, since the new isolates lost their viability on passaging, we propose the novel genus as "Candidatus Laterigemmans" gen. nov. and the novel species as "Candidatus Laterigemmans baculatus" sp. nov.During a study on culturable microorganisms from fish farms, four yellow-pigmented gram negative, rod shaped isolates, F-47T, F-339T, F-380 and F-400, were recovered from rainbow trout samples exhibiting clinical signs. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the strains were identified as members of the genus Flavobacterium. Strains F-47T and F-380 shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity level of 97.6% with the type strain of Flavobacterium frigoris DSM 15719T while strains F-339T and F-400 shared the highest identity level of 97.6% with the type strain of F. caseinilyticum AT-3-2T. A polyphasic taxonomic approach including phenotypic and genomic characterization as well as whole-cell MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analyses was employed to ascertain the taxonomic position of the strains within the genus Flavobacterium. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) analyses between strains F-47T, F-339T and their close neighbours F. frigoris DSM 15719T and F. caseinilyticum AT-3-2T, respectively, confirmed that both strains represent novel species in the genus Flavobacterium. The DNA G+C contents of the strains F-47T and F-339T are 34.3% and 35.3%, respectively. It can be concluded on the basis of polyphasic characterization as well as pairwise genome comparisons that the strains F-47T and F-339T represent two novel species within the genus Flavobacterium, for which Flavobacterium kayseriense sp. nov. F-47T (=JCM 34195T=KCTC 82255T) and Flavobacterium turcicum sp. nov. F-339T (=JCM 34202T=KCTC 82262T) are proposed, respectively.A new parallel-plate resonator for 7Li ion cell studies is introduced along with a removable cartridge-like electrochemical cell for lithium ion battery studies. This geometry separates the RF probe from the electrochemical cell permitting charge/discharge of the cell outside the magnet and introduces the possibility of multiplexing samples under test. The new cell has a geometry that is similar to that of a real battery, unlike the majority of cells employed for MR/MRI studies to this point. The cell, with electrodes parallel to the B1 magnetic field of the probe, avoids RF attenuation during excitation/reception. The cell and RF probe dramatically increase the sample volume compared to traditional MR compatible battery designs. Ex situ and in situ 1D 7Li profiles of Li ions in the electrolyte solution of a cartridge-like cell were acquired, with a nominal resolution of 35 µm at 38 MHz. The cell and RF probe may be employed for spectroscopy, imaging and relaxation studies. We also report the results of a T1-T2 relaxation correlation experiment on both a pristine and fully charged cell.
