RESUMO
We aimed to elucidate the relationship between Kineococcus terrestris and Kineococcus aureolus through whole-genome-based analysis. The genome-derived 16S rRNA gene sequences of K. terrestris KCTC 39738T and K. aureolus KCTC 39739T shared a 100% similarity. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene and whole-genome sequences revealed that K. terrestris KCTC 39738T and K. aureolus KCTC 39739T formed a robust clade, indicating a close relationship between them. Genomic comparison showed that the two strains shared 99.1% average nucleotide identity, 92.0% digital DNA-DNA hybridization and 98.9% average amino acid identity values, all of which exceeded the recommended threshold values for species classification. Most phenotypic characteristics between the two species were almost identical. Based on the above evidence, we propose the reclassification of Kineococcus aureolus Xu et al. 2017 as a later heterotypic synonym of Kineococcus terrestris Xu et al. 2017. Since these two species were proposed in the same article, the principle of priority does not apply. Our proposal is supported by the fact that the nomenclatural authorities first described Kineococcus terrestris.

Two Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, oxidase- and catalase-negative, non-motile, and short rod-shaped actinomycetes, named SYSU T00b441T and SYSU T00b490, were isolated from tidal flat sediment located in Guangdong province, PR China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between SYSU T00b441T and SYSU T00b490 were 99.3, 99.5 and 97.1â%, respectively. Strains SYSU T00b441T and SYSU T00b490 exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to Actinotalea ferrariae CF 5-4T (97.1â%/98.2â%), with ANI values of 74.01/73.88â% and dDDH values of 20.5/20.4â%. In the phylogenomic tree, the two isolates were affiliated with the genus Actinotalea. The genomes of strains SYSU T00b441T and SYSU T00b490 were 3.31 and 3.34 Mb, and both had DNA G+C contents of 72.8âmol%, coding 3077 and 3085 CDSs, three and three rRNA genes, and 53 and 51 tRNAs, respectively. Growth occurred at 15-40â°C (optimum, 28-30â°C), pH 4.0-10.0 (optimum, 7.0) and in the presence of 0-7â% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 3â%). The major fatty acids (>10ââ%) of strains SYSU T00b441T and SYSU T00b490 were anteiso-C15â:â0 and C16â:â0. The major respiratory quinone was identified as MK-10(H4). The polar lipids of strains SYSU T00b441T and SYSU T00b490 were diphosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphoglycolipid, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, two phosphatidylinositol mannosides, two glycolipids and two phospholipids. Based on these data, the two strains (SYSU T00b441T and SYSU T00b490) represent a novel species of the genus Actinotalea, for which the name Actinotalea lenta sp. nov is proposed. The type strain is SYSU T00b441T (=GDMCC 1.3827T=KCTC 49943T).

Two Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, milk-white coloured, non-motile, short rod-shaped bacteria, designated as strains SYSU D60010T and SYSU D60012T, were isolated from sand samples collected from the Taklimakan Desert of Xinjiang Province in China. Both strains were positive for oxidase, catalase and nitrate reduction, but negative for amylase, H2S production, hydrolysis of gelatin and cellulase. Strains SYSU D60010T and SYSU D60012T grew well at 28â°C, at pH 7 and had the same NaCl tolerance range of 0-1â% (w/v). The major fatty acids (>5â%) of strains SYSU D60010T and SYSU D60012T were summed feature 8 (C18â:â1 ω7c and/or C18â:â1 ω6c), iso-C19â:â0 cyclo ω8c, C16â:â0 and iso-C18â:â1 2-OH. Q-10 was the only respiratory ubiquinone. Strains SYSU D60010T and SYSU D60012T showed high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to Aestuariivirga litoralis SYSU M10001T (94.2 and 94.1â%), Rhodoligotrophos jinshengii BUT-3T (92.0 and 91.9â%) and Rhodoligotrophos appendicifer 120-1T (91.8 and 91.7â%), and the genomes were 7.4 and 5.8 Mbp in size with DNA G+C contents of 62.8 and 63.0âmol%, respectively. Phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics indicated that these two strains represent a novel genus and two novel species within the family Aestuariivirgaceae. We propose the name Taklimakanibacter deserti gen. nov., sp. nov. for strain SYSU D60010T, representing the type strain of this species (=KCTC 52783T =NBRC 113344T) and Taklimakanibacter lacteus gen. nov., sp. nov. for strain SYSU D60012T, representing the type strain of this species (=KCTC 52785T=NBRC 113128T).

A novel rod-shaped bacterium, designated as strain SYSU D60015T that formed yellowish colonies was isolated from a sandy soil collected from the Kumtag Desert in Xinjiang, China. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, oxidase-positive, catalase-negative and motile with a single polar flagellum. Growth optimum occurred between 28 and 37 °C, pH 7.0 and with 0-0.5% (W/V) NaCl. The predominant cellular fatty acids (> 5%) were summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c and/or C18:1 ω6c), C19:0 cyclo ω8c, C18:1 ω7c 11-methyl and C16:0. The polar lipid profile contained one phosphatidylethanolamine, one diphosphatidylglycerol, one phosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified phospholipid, three unidentified aminolipids, two unidentified aminophospholipids and seven unidentified lipids. The only respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogenetic analysis, strain SYSU D60015T was found to form a distinct linage within the family Sneathiellaceae, and had 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 90.8% to Taonella mepensis H1T, and 90.2% to Ferrovibrio denitrificans S3T. The genome of SYSU D60015T was 5.66 Mb in size with 68.2% of DNA G + C content. The low digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH, 18.0%), average nucleotide identity (ANI, 77.5%) and amino acid identity (AAI, 56.0%) values between SYSU D60015T and Ferrovibrio terrae K5T indicated that SYSU D60015T might represent a distinct genus. Based on the phylogenetic, phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genomic data, we propose Desertibaculum subflavum gen. nov., sp. nov. as a novel species of a new genus within the family Sneathiellaceae. The type strain is SYSU D60015T (= NBRC 112952T = CGMCC 1.16256T).

Growth was observed on Reasoner's 2A agar and nutrient agar, but not on Luria-Bertani agar and trypticase soy agar. The polar lipids were identified as diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified aminolipids, one unidentified glycolipid and two unidentified phospholipids. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10 and the major fatty acids (>10â%) were C16â:â0 and summed feature 8 (C18â:â1 ω7c and/or C18â:â1 ω6c). The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains SYSU D00286T and SYSU D00782 was 100%, and their average nucleotide identity (ANI), average amino acid identity and (AAI) digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values were all 100.0â%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that these two strains belong to the same species of the genus Rubellimicrobium and show the highest sequence similarity to Rubellimicrobium rubrum KCTC 72461T (98.2â%) and Rubellimicrobium roseum CCTCC AA 208029T (97.5â%). The ANI, AAI and dDDH values between SYSU D00286T (as well as SYSU D00782) and the other five Rubellimicrobium type strains were all less than or equal to 83.2, 80.1 and 23.6â%, respectively. Based on their phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomical features, strains SYSU D00286T and SYSU D00782 represent a novel species of the genus Rubellimicrobium, for which the name Rubellimicrobium arenae sp. nov. is proposed.

Strain SYSU D01096T was isolated from a sandy soil sample collected from Gurbantunggut Desert in Xinjiang, PR China. Phylogenetic analysis of the nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain SYSU D01096T belonged to the family Acetobacteraceae and was closest to Rubritepida flocculans DSM 14296T (96.0% similarity). Cells of strain SYSU D01096T were observed to be non-motile, short rod-shaped and Gram-staining negative. The colonies were observed to be translucent, reddish orange, circular, convex and smooth. Growth occurred at 15-37 °C (optimum, 28-30 °C), pH 4.0-8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and 0-0.5% NaCl (w/v; optimum, 0%) on Reasoner's 2A medium. The predominant ubiquinone was identified as ubiquinone 9 and the major fatty acids were Summed Feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c and/or C18:1 ω6c) and C16:0.

A novel pale orange-coloured bacterium, designated strain SYSU D00532T, was isolated from sandy soil collected from the Gurbantunggut desert in Xinjiang, PR China. Cells of strain SYSU D00532T were found to be aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, oxidase-positive, catalase-positive, motile and rod-shaped with a single polar or subpolar flagellum. Growth occurred at 15-45 °C (optimum, 28-37 °C, pH 5.0-8.0 (optimum, pH 6.0-7.0) and with 0-1.5% NaCl (w/v; optimum, 0.5â%). The major polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol. Unidentified aminolipids, unidentified polar lipids, an unidentified aminophospholipid and an unidentified phospholipid were also detected. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10 and the major fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c and/or C18:1 ω6c), C16:0 and C19:0 cyclo ω8c. The genomic DNA G+C content was 69.8 mol%. Results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain SYSU D00532T belonged to the family Azospirillaceae and showed 93.4% (Desertibacter roseus 2622T), 93.2% (Skermanella xinjiangensis 10-1-101T), 93.2% ('Skermanella rubra' YIM 93097T) and 92.4% (Desertibacter xinjiangensis M71T) similarities. Based on the phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain SYSU D00532T is proposed to represent a new species of a new genus, named Arenibaculum pallidiluteum gen. nov., sp. nov., within the family Azospirillaceae. The type strain is SYSU D00532T (=KCTC 82269T=CGMCC 1.18631T=MCCC 1K04984T). We also propose the reclassification of Skermanella xinjiangensis to a new genus Deserticella as Deserticella xinjiangensis comb. nov., and the transfer of the genera Indioceanicola and Oleisolibacter from the family Rhodospirillaceae to the family Azospirillaceaewe based on the phylogenetic results.

BACKGROUND: Neuroschistosomiasis is not commonly encountered and is probably underrecognized. We hope these findings can help clinicians and radiologists to raise awareness of this disabling disorder. PURPOSE: To demonstrate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of cerebral schistosomiasis and correlate it with pathological findings. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We identified seven patients with cerebral schistosomiasis from radiology and pathology archives of our hospital. Of the seven patients, six were pathologically confirmed. The remaining patient had pathologically confirmed spinal schistosomiasis with MRI findings of cerebral involvement. MRI and pathological findings of these patients were analyzed and correlated. RESULTS: Multiple enhancing nodules at varying size were found in all patients. Prominent leptomeningeal or choroidal veins were found in six patients, four at the center of the foci and two at the periphery. Hemorrhage was identified in two patients. Histology revealed granulomas around ova in six patients. A prominent vein with ova in the lumen and wall of a vein was found in one patient and perivascular ova deposition was found in one patient. CONCLUSION: Multiple enhancing nodules with central or peripheral veins in a circumscribed brain area are important signs to the diagnosis of cerebral schistosomiasis.

Background Acute aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening medical emergency. It has been debated whether the multiphase dynamic computed tomography angiography (CTA) protocol is superior to the standard triphasic protocol for revealing the characteristics of AD. Purpose To examine two multiphase dynamic protocols, Dynamic four-dimensional (4D) CTA using the shuttle mode and Flash 4D CTA using the high-pitch mode for the assessment of AD and to compare them with the standard triphasic protocol. Material and Methods A total of 54 consecutive patients were randomly and equally assigned to three groups and scanned with a second-generation DSCT scanner. Groups A, B, and C were assessed with the Dynamic 4D CTA in the shuttle mode, the Flash 4D CTA in the high-pitch mode, and the standard triphasic acquisition protocol, respectively. Image quality of all patients was evaluated. The effective radiation dose (ED) was recorded. Results In 54 patients, CTA images could display the true and false lumens, the intimal flap, the entry tear, and branch vessel involvement in the AD. Compared with group C, additional diagnostic information was obtained in groups A and B, including the dynamic enhancement delay between the true and false lumens (A = 18, B = 18); the presence of membrane oscillation (A = 8, B = 14); dynamic ejection of the contrast material from the true lumen into the false lumen (A = 6, B = 7); and the dynamic obstruction of the left renal artery (B = 2). The ED in these three groups was significantly different ( P < 0.05). Conclusion Compared to the standard triphasic protocol, the multiphase dynamic CTA protocol is feasible and is able to reveal additional diagnostic information. Therefore, we recommend using the high-pitch, dual-source multiphase dynamic CTA to assess ADs.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between serum levels of 25(OH)D and 1, 25(OH)2 D and the hand-grip strength and balance ability of women in Sichuan, China. METHODS: A cross-sectional study on a representative sample of 1 095 women aged 29-95 yr. in Sichuan Province was undertaken. Their hand-grip strength and balance ability were assessed using a hand-held dynamometer and the short physical performance battery (SPPB), respectively. The participants were divided into four groups according to the level of serum 25(OH)D: sufficient (>75 nmol/L), insufficient (51-75 nmol/L), deficiency (25-50 nmol/L), and serious deficiency (<25 nmol/L). General liner models were established to compare the differences of the four groups in balance ability. Logistic regression models were established to examine the associations of serum 25(OH)D and 1, 25(OH)2 D withhand-grip strength and physical performance. RESULTS: About 70.9% of the participants had vitamin D deficiency. Those with vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency were more likely to reside in a higher latitudinal area (P<0.001), spend less time in outdoor activities (P=0.013), and take less vitamin D supplements (P<0.001). Older women (≥65 years) had lower serum 25(OH)D (P=0.001) and were more likely to have ≤50 nmol/L 25(OH)D than their younger counterparts (74.6% vs. 68.9%, P=0.046). However, no significant age differences were found in serum 1, 25(OH)2 D. Serum levels of 25(OH)D and 1, 25(OH)2 D were not found to be associated with hand-grip strength and balance ability after adjusting for confounding factors. Hand-grip strength and balance ability decreased with age (OR=1.066, P<0.001; OR=1.111, P<0.001). Higher body mas was associated with higher hand-grip strength (OR=0.958, P<0.001). Higher serum albumin (OR=0.896, P=0.001) and longer walking time (OR=0.799, P=0.001) were associated with higher balance ability. CONCLUSION: Serum levels of 25(OH)D and 1, 25(OH)2D are not associated with hand-grip strength and balance ability.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the predictive value of cord blood 25(OH)D3 [25(OH)D3] for infantile atopic dermatitis (AD), and to provide a reference for primary prevention of early infantile AD. METHODS: The neonates born from July to September, 2015 were enrolled. The cord blood samples were collected at birth to measure the level of 25(OH)D3. Outpatient follow-up was conducted for all the infants at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after birth. A survey was performed to investigate the incidence of AD. RESULTS: A total of 67 neonates completed a 6-month follow-up. The incidence of AD was 34% (23/67), and 91% (21/23) of these cases occurred in the first month after birth. The 23 AD children had a significantly lower cord 25(OH)D3 level than those without AD (P<0.05). The children with a cord 25(OH)D3 level <30 nmol/L showed a significantly higher incidence of AD than those with a cord 25(OH)D3 level ≥30 nmol/L (P<0.05). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve of cord 25(OH)D3 in predicting AD was 0.648 (standard error: 0.075; 95%CI: 0.502-0.795). Its sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 52.2%, 79.5%, 57.1%, and 76.1%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that low cord 25(OH)D3 level, preference for seafood during pregnancy, atopic family history, and mixed feeding were risk factors for infantile AD (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Cord 25(OH)D3 level is inversely associated with the risk of infantile AD, but it has a low diagnostic value for this disease.

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium, designated AER10T, was isolated from the roots of Ammodendron bifolium collected from Takeermohuer desert in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, northwestern China. Growth was found to occur from 10 to 45 °C, at pH 5.0-9.0, and could tolerate up to 10â% (w/v) NaCl. 16S rRNA gene sequence result indicated that the strain AER10T belongs to the genus Alcaligenes and was closely related to Alcaligenes aquatilis (98.4â%), Alcaligenes faecalissubsp. parafaecalis (98.4â%), Alcaligenes faecalissubsp. faecalis (98.1â%) and Alcaligenes faecalissubsp. phenolicus (97.9â%). However, the DNA-DNA hybridization values between the strain AER10T and the above strains were less than the threshold value (below 70â%) for the delineation of genomic species. The DNA G+C content was 53.3 mol%. Ubiquinone-8 (Q-8) was the only quinone system present. The major fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18â:â1ω7c, 25â%), C16â:â0 (24.2â%), summed feature 3 (C16â:â1ω7c and/or C16â:â1ω6c, 19.3â%) and cyclo-C17â:â0 (10.5â%). The polar lipid profile of the strain AER10T consists of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, two unidentified aminolipids and five unknown polar lipids. On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, strain AER10T is a representative of a novel species in the genus Alcaligenes, for which the name Alcaligenes endophyticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AER10T (=DSM 100498T=KCTC 42688T).

A novel actinobacterial strain, designated LPA192(T), was isolated from a soil sample collected from Lop Nur, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Northwest China. A polyphasic approach was used to investigate the taxonomic position of strain LPA192(T). The isolate showed morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics typical of members of the genus Streptomyces. Peptidoglycan was found to contain LL-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H6) and MK-10(H4). Polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. Major cellular fatty acids consist of C16:0, anteiso-C15:0 and C18:1 ω9c. The sugar in whole-cell hydrolysates was mannose. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain LPA192(T) is closely related to Streptomyces tanashiensis LMG 20274(T) (99.3 %), Streptomyces gulbargensis DAS131(T) (99.3 %), Streptomyces nashvillensis NBRC 13064(T) (99.3 %), Streptomyces roseolus NBRC 12816(T) (99.2 %) and Streptomyces filamentosus NBRC 12767(T) (99.1 %) while showing below 98.5 % sequencing similarities with other validly published Streptomyces species. However, DNA-DNA relatedness values between LPA192(T) and the closely related type strains were below 40 %, which are much lower than 70 % threshold value for species delineation. The genomic DNA G + C content of strain LPA192(T) was 69.3 mol %. Based on the differences in genotypic and phenotypic characteristics from the closely related strains, strain LPA192(T) is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Streptomyces for which the name Streptomyces xinjiangensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LPA192(T) (=KCTC 39601(T) = CGMCC 4.7288(T)).

A novel actinomycete strain, designated YIM LPA2h(T), was isolated from a sediment sample collected from Lop Nur, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, North-West China. The taxonomic position of strain YIM LPA2h(T) was investigated by a polyphasic approach. The morphological and chemotaxonomic properties of the isolate were in accordance with the members of the genus Saccharothrix. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the strain showed highest similarities to Saccharothrix yanglingensis (98.6 %), Saccharothrix longispora (98.4 %) and Saccharothrix hoggarensis (98.3 %). However, the DNA-DNA hybridization values between the new isolate YIM LPA2h(T) and S. yanglingensis, S. longispora and S. hoggarensis were significantly below 70 %. Strain YIM LPA2h(T) was found to contain meso-diaminopimelic acid as diagnostic diamino acid. The major sugars in whole-cell hydrolysates were rhamnose, galactose, mannose, glucose and fructose. The major polar lipids were identified as phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylhydroxylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol mannoside. The predominant respiratory menaquinones were MK-9 (H4) and MK-10 (H4). The major fatty acids were C17:1 ω8c (15 %), iso-C15:0 (12 %), anteiso-C15:0 (12 %) and summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω6c/C16:1 ω7c, 10 %). The genomic DNA G+C content of strain YIM LPA2h(T) was determined to be 75 mol %. The genotypic and phenotypic results suggest that strain YIM LPA2h(T) represents a novel species of the genus Saccharothrix, for which the name Saccharothrix lopnurensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM LPA2h(T) (=CGMCC 4.7246(T)=KCTC 39545(T)).
