The intestinal microbiota plays an important role in the pathophysiology of depression. As determined, the microbiota influences the shaping and modulation of the functioning of the gut-brain axis. The intestinal microbiota has a significant impact on processes related to neurotransmitter synthesis, the myelination of neurons in the prefrontal cortex, and is also involved in the development of the amygdala and hippocampus. Intestinal bacteria are also a source of vitamins, the deficiency of which is believed to be related to the response to antidepressant therapy and may lead to exacerbation of depressive symptoms. Additionally, it is known that, in periods of excessive activation of stress reactions, the immune system also plays an important role, negatively affecting the tightness of the intestinal barrier and intestinal microflora. In this review, we have summarized the role of the gut microbiota, its metabolites, and diet in susceptibility to depression. We also describe abnormalities in the functioning of the intestinal barrier caused by increased activity of the immune system in response to stressors. Moreover, the presented study discusses the role of psychobiotics in the prevention and treatment of depression through their influence on the intestinal barrier, immune processes, and functioning of the nervous system.Transmission of respiratory viruses is a complex process involving emission, deposition in the airways, and infection. Inhalation is often the most relevant transmission mode in indoor environments. For severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the risk of inhalation transmission is not yet fully understood. Here, we used an indoor aerosol model combined with a regional inhaled deposited dose model to examine the indoor transport of aerosols from an infected person with novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) to a susceptible person and assess the potential inhaled dose rate of particles. Two scenarios with different ventilation rates were compared, as well as adult female versus male recipients. Assuming a source strength of 10 viruses/s, in a tightly closed room with poor ventilation (0.5 h-1), the respiratory tract deposited dose rate was 140-350 and 100-260 inhaled viruses/hour for males and females; respectively. With ventilation at 3 h-1 the dose rate was only 30-90 viruses/hour. Correcting for the half-life of SARS-CoV-2 in air, these numbers are reduced by a factor of 1.2-2.2 for poorly ventilated rooms and 1.1-1.4 for well-ventilated rooms. Combined with future determinations of virus emission rates, the size distribution of aerosols containing the virus, and the infectious dose, these results could play an important role in understanding the full picture of potential inhalation transmission in indoor environments.Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is promising for the quality control of laboratory facilities for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strains. We describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics of false positive versus true positive MTB cultures based on WGS, which were experienced in a real clinical setting. Strain harvest and DNA extraction from seven isolates from pre-extensive drug-resistant (pre-XDR) TB patients transferred to the Korea University Ansan Hospital were performed, and epidemiologic links and clinical information, including the phenotypic drug susceptibility test (pDST), were investigated. WGS was performed using Ion GeneStudio with an ION530tm chip (average sequencing depth, ~100-fold). In the phylogenetic tree, identical and different strains were distributed separately. Five of the seven isolates were identical; the remaining two isolates differed from the others. The images of the referred pre-XDR-TB patients with false positive MTB that were analyzed were of regions close to old TB scars. Further, the results of WGS gene mutation analysis for ethambutol, streptomycin, and fluoroquinolone resistance in all six patients were not concordant with the pDST results. WGS and clinical information were useful in differentiating laboratory cross-contamination from true positive TB, thereby avoiding the unnecessary treatment of false positive patients and delay in treating true positive TB patients, with reliable genotypic drug resistance results.The conserved VPS13 proteins constitute a new family of lipid transporters at membrane contact sites. These large proteins are suspected to bridge membranes and form a direct channel for lipid transport between organelles. Mutations in the 4 human homologs (VPS13A-D) are associated with a number of neurological disorders, but little is known about their precise functions or the relevant contact sites affected in disease. In contrast, yeast has a single Vps13 protein which is recruited to multiple organelles and contact sites. The yeast model system has proved useful for studying the function of Vps13 at different organelles and identifying the localization determinants responsible for its membrane targeting. In this review we describe recent advances in our understanding of VPS13 proteins with a focus on yeast research.Undernutrition in infants and young children is a major problem leading to millions of deaths every year. The objective of this study was to provide a new model for body composition assessment using near-infrared reflectance (NIR) to help correctly identify low body fat in infants and young children. Eligibility included infants and young children from 3-24 months of age. Fat mass values were collected from dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), deuterium dilution (DD) and skin fold thickness (SFT) measurements, which were then compared to NIR predicted values. Anthropometric measures were also obtained. We developed a model using NIR to predict fat mass and validated it against a multi compartment model. One hundred and sixty-four infants and young children were included. The evaluation of the NIR model against the multi compartment reference method achieved an r value of 0.885, 0.904, and 0.818 for age groups 3-24 months (all subjects), 0-6 months, and 7-24 months, respectively. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/gdc-0084.html Compared with conventional methods such as SFT, body mass index and anthropometry, performance was best with NIR.
