johnsonii could be generated by cross or co-selection of anthropogenic contaminants and mediated by efflux pumps instead of corresponding resistance determinants. Our study also has deep-sight into the adaptive preference of bacteria in natural environments, and contributes to surveillance studies and MDR- A. johnsonii monitoring worldwide.From 2009 to 2017, we identified 9 cases of plasma cell neoplasms on biopsies of the bladder in patients without a history of plasma cell myeloma or transplantation (6 men and 3 women). Four of the nine showed amyloid deposition, of which one additionally revealed a clear cell adenocarcinoma of the bladder. Follow-up was obtained in 7 cases. Of 3 cases (including 2 with amyloid) for which electrophoresis and immunofixation results were obtained, the 2 amyloid cases showed evidence of serum or urine paraproteins serum IgM kappa in a patient with kappa light chain-restricted plasma cell neoplasm and urine IgA lambda in a patient with lambda light chain-restricted plasma cell neoplasm. By way of contrast, 1 case with kappa light chain-restricted plasma cell neoplasm in the absence of amyloid showed no serum monoclonal protein. Bone marrow biopsy results were obtained in the 2 amyloid cases revealing a population of 5% or less plasma cells with no assessment of clonality and, thus, were not diagnostic of plasma cloidosis.
  More clear classification of chronic invasive fungal infection of paranasal sinuses in the clinical presentation, radiologic findings, and pathology is needed. To describe the imaging findings of patients with chronic invasive fungal sinusitis (CIFS) and chronic granulomatous invasive fungal sinusitis (CGIFS).
 
  Eleven patients with CIFS or CGIFS between January 2014 and July 2019 were included in this retrospective study. The demographic, pathologic, and imaging characteristics of the included patients were reviewed by rhinologist, pathologist, and radiologist, respectively. In terms of imaging analysis, overall lesions were categorized as diffuse infiltrative and mass-forming patterns.
 
  Among eleven patients, ten patients were aged ≥ 60 years (mean age 74.2 years) and nine had hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus. Aspergillus species were the most common pathogens (82%). Of the seven patients with CIFS, five (71%) had diffuse infiltrative patterns and two (29%) had mass-forming patterns, whereas all four patients (100%) with CGIFS had a mass forming pattern. All 11 patients showed both bony erosion and sclerosis. Almost all proven pathologic sites showed predominantly intermediate to high signal intensity on T1WI.
 
  CIFS or CFIFS showed chronic course of rhinosinusitis in the patients with old age, imaging findings of bone erosion and sclerosis, and imaging patterns of diffuse infiltration or mass formation.

In this study, mesoporous titanium dioxide nanoparticles (MTNs)-based antibody drug delivery system was designed for B-LL treatment. Anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody was conjugated to PEGylated MTNs, and doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded in the nanoparticle. The CD19-PEG-MTN/DOX nanoparticle could recognize CD19+B-LL cell lines and induced them apoptosis, but nontoxic for the normal cells. Further, after treated with CD19-PEG-MTN/DOX nanoparticle, pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and Caspase-3 in KOPN 8 and NALM-6 cells were significantly upregulated, but anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl2, MCL-1, HSP 70, and BAG 3 were downregulated, which indicated the activation of the apoptosis pathway by the nanodrug. By contrast, CD19-PEG-MTN/DOX didn't play a part on CD19-cell line U937. Besides, the cytotoxicity of CD19-PEG-MTN/DOX was low with good biocompatibility. Collectively, CD19-PEG-MTN/DOX is a promising antitumor nanodrug for the treatment of B-LL.We study the dynamics of epidemics in a networked metapopulation model. In each subpopulation, representing a locality, the disease propagates according to a modified susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered (SEIR) dynamics. In the modified SEIR dynamics, individuals reduce their number of contacts as a function of the weighted sum of cumulative number of cases within the locality and in neighboring localities. We consider a scenario with two localities where disease originates in one locality and is exported to the neighboring locality via travel of exposed (latently infected) individuals. We establish a lower bound on the outbreak size at the origin as a function of the speed of spread. Using the lower bound on the outbreak size at the origin, we establish an upper bound on the outbreak size at the importing locality as a function of the speed of spread and the level of preparedness for the low mobility regime. We evaluate the critical levels of preparedness that stop the disease from spreading at the importing locality. Finally, we show how the benefit of preparedness diminishes under high mobility rates. Our results highlight the importance of preparedness at localities where cases are beginning to rise such that localities can help stop local outbreaks when they respond to the severity of outbreaks in neighboring localities.Can a regulated, legal market for wildlife products protect species threatened by poaching? It is one of the most controversial ideas in biodiversity conservation. Perhaps the most convincing reason for legalizing wildlife trade is that trade revenue could fund the protection and conservation of poached species. In this paper, we examine the possible poacher-population dynamic consequences of legal trade funding conservation. The model consists of a manager scavenging carcasses for wildlife product, who then sells the product, and directs a portion of the revenue towards funding anti-poaching law enforcement. Through a global analysis of the model, we derive the critical proportion of product the manager must scavenge, and the critical proportion of trade revenue the manager must allocate towards increased enforcement, in order for legal trade to lead to abundant long-term wildlife populations. We illustrate how the model could inform management with parameter values derived from the African elephant literature, under a hypothetical scenario where a manager scavenges elephant carcasses to sell ivory.
