RESUMEN
Two novel indole acetic acid-producing strains, 5MLIRT and D4N7, were isolated from Indosasa shibataeoides in Yongzhou, Hunan province, and Phyllostachys edulis in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, respectively. Based on their 16S rRNA sequences, strains 5MLIRT and D4N7 were closely related to Comamonas antarcticus 16-35-5T (98.4â% sequence similarity), and the results of 92-core gene phylogenetic trees showed that strains 5MLIRT and D4N7 formed a phylogenetic lineage within the clade comprising Comamonas species. The complete genome size of strain 5MLIRT was 4.49 Mb including two plasmids, and the DNA G+C content was 66.5âmol%. The draft genome of strain D4N7 was 4.26 Mb with 66.7âmol% G+C content. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values among strain 5MLIRT and species in the genus Comamonas were all below the species delineation threshold. The colonies of strain 5MLIRT and D4N7 were circular with regular margins, convex, pale yellow and 1.0-2.0 mm in diameter when incubated at 30â°C for 3 days. Strains 5MLIRT and D4N7 grew optimally at 30â°C, pH 7.0 and 1.0â% NaCl. The respiratory isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-8. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. Polyphasic analyses indicated that strains 5MLIRT and D4N7 could be distinguished from related validly named Comamonas species and represent a novel species of the genus Comamonas, for which the name Comamonas endophytica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 5MLIRT (=ACCC 62069T=GDMCC 1.2958T=JCM 35331T).

Two novel plant growth-promoting, rod-shaped, Gram-positive and non-motile rhizobacteria, W1NT and W2RT, were isolated from wetland plants Festuca elata and Nymphoides peltatum, respectively, in China. The results of the 16S rRNA sequence alignment analysis showed that they were related to Microbacterium, with the highest similarity to Microbacterium ketosireducens (98.7â%) and Microbacterium laevaniformans (98.5â%) for strain W1NT, and to Microbacterium terricola (98.1â%) and Microbacterium marinum (98.0â%) for strain W2RT. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and 92 conserved concatenated proteins suggested that the two strains belong to the genus Microbacterium and were placed in two separate novel phylogenetic clades. The genome sizes of the two strains were 3.2 and 3.7 Mb, and the G+C contents were 71.7 and 68.5âmol%, respectively. The comparative genome results showed that the average nucleotide identity values between W1NT and W2RT and other species ranged from 73.5 to 83.6â%, and the digital DNA-DNA hybridization values ranged from 19.7 to 26.8â%. These two strains show physiological and biochemical features that differ from those of closely related species. Rhamnose, galactose and glucose were present in the characteristic sugar fractions of strains W1NT and W2RT. The peptidoglycan of strains W1NT and W2RT contained the amino acids ornithine, alanine and aspartic acid. C15â:â0 anteiso, C17â:â0 anteiso and C16â:â0 iso were the predominant cellular fatty acids in W1NT and W2RT. Phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol are major polar lipid components. Strain W1NT not only formed bacterial biofilms but also had the ability to solubilize phosphorus and produce indole-3-acetic acid. Strain W2RT had siderophore-producing and lignin-degrading properties. Based on their genetic and phenotypic characteristics, strains W1NT and W2RT were classified as novel bacteria in the genus Microbacterium and designated as Microbacterium festucae sp. nov. (type strain W1NT=ACCC 61807T=GDMCC 1.2966T=JCM 35339T) and Microbacterium nymphoidis sp. nov. (type strain W2RT=ACCC 61808T=GDMCC 1.2967T=JCM 35340T).

Road scene understanding is crucial to the safe driving of autonomous vehicles. Comprehensive road scene understanding requires a visual perception system to deal with a large number of tasks at the same time, which needs a perception model with a small size, fast speed, and high accuracy. As multi-task learning has evident advantages in performance and computational resources, in this paper, a multi-task model YOLO-Object, Drivable Area, and Lane Line Detection (YOLO-ODL) based on hard parameter sharing is proposed to realize joint and efficient detection of traffic objects, drivable areas, and lane lines. In order to balance tasks of YOLO-ODL, a weight balancing strategy is introduced so that the weight parameters of the model can be automatically adjusted during training, and a Mosaic migration optimization scheme is adopted to improve the evaluation indicators of the model. Our YOLO-ODL model performs well on the challenging BDD100K dataset, achieving the state of the art in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the effect of distal aortic segmental enlargement (DASE) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for complicated type B aortic dissection (cTBAD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: From March 2003 to October 2018, 814 patients with acute cTBAD from 5 medical centers were retrospectively identified. DASE is indicated as the enlargement of distal aortic segmental volume ≥1.6 fold of the preoperative volume compared with the most recent postoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) scan. Of these patients, 635 (78%) were identified as non-DASE, and 179 (22%) were identified as DASE. Competing risk analysis was performed to compare late death and distal aortic reintervention between the groups. The morphological variables and false lumen thrombosis at 7 aortic levels were measured based on the preoperative CTA and the most recent CTA. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to assess the independent predictors of DASE. RESULTS: The mean follow-up time of the entire cohort was 5.6 years (interquartile range: 2.4-8.3 years). There were total of 208 late deaths, including 94 (14.8%) deaths in non-DASE group versus 114 (63.7%) deaths in the DASE group. Distal aortic reintervention was observed in 89 patients, with 43(6.7%) in the non-DASE group versus 46 (25.7%) in the DASE group. The cumulative incidence of late death and distal aortic reintervention were significantly higher in the DASE than in the non-DASE group (p<0.001). In morphological analysis, significant incomplete false lumen thrombosis was observed in all distal aortic segments above the aortic level of celiac artery (p<0.01). According to multivariate analysis, the Marfan syndrome, stent coverage to the level of diaphragm and the level of celiac artery were independent predictors of the DASE (p<0.001). Patients with extended stent coverage to the level of celiac artery have shown a lower incidence of DASE (p<0.010). CONCLUSION: Compared with the non-DASE group, patients with DASE demonstrated a higher rate of late death and distal aortic reintervention. For the cTBAD population, extended stent-graft coverage to the aortic section between diaphragm and celiac artery might serve as a "cost-efficient" cutoff point aiming to reduce the risk of DASE.

OBJECTIVES: Research in the field of lower extremity vascular disease has increased in popularity over the years. To adequately characterize and validate the effectiveness of vascular interventions, in vivo experimentation in large animals is required. Thus, it is necessary to find a method to detect the shape and density of blood vessels in the lower extremities that can evaluate and verify the treatment measures' effectiveness and have high accuracy and repeatability. This study characterized factors that determined both the accuracy and overall value of digital subtraction angiography in lower limb arteriography using a canine animal model. METHODS: Six beagle dogs were anesthetized and immobilized on the motorized table. The femoral artery was accessed using an indwelling needle. A bolus of contrast agent was injected into the access site, and digital subtraction angiography with bolus chase technology was used to collect contrast images for analysis. At the end of the procedure, the anesthetized dogs were euthanized using an overdose of potassium chloride. After confirming the euthanasia of the dogs, the cadavers were taken to the experimental animal center of Xinjiang Medical University and processed by qualified institutional personnel. RESULTS: The final arteriographic images of the hind limbs from all six dogs were precise, and the branches of small vessels could be distinguished without any visible artifacts. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggested that arteriography using digital subtraction angiography could reveal the shape and density of blood vessels in canine animal models. This method has great potential to significantly improve research related to limb ischemia due to its simple and reproducible results.

Under natural conditions, mycorrhizal symbiosis accompanies nearly the entire life cycle of orchids from seed germination through to flowering and fruiting. Tulasnella-like orchid mycorrhizal fungi are the most common mycorrhizal fungi found in association with orchid species. Presently suitable reference genes have not been systematically selected for the quantification of gene expression via Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-qPCR). We evaluated 12 candidate Tulasnella genes in nine different Tulasnella isolates and in the Dendrobium-fungal symbiotic germination associations followed by statistical analysis using the programs Bestkeeper, geNorm, and Normfinder to analyze the expression stability of the individual genes. The results showed that the EF2, UBC, and PP2A genes had the highest rankings with relatively stable expression levels across the different genotypes and during the symbiotic seed germination process by the three programs, and may be suitable for RT-qPCR normalization. Furthermore, the gene encoding C-5 Sterol desaturase (C5SD) was selected to verify the reliability of EF2, UBC, and PP2A expression during the Tulasnella-Dendrobium symbiotic seed germination process. This study is the first systematic exploration of optimal reference genes for gene expression studies during the colonization of orchid seeds by the mycorrhizal fungus Tulasnella.

Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is fatal diseases, which leads to aortic rupture and sudden death. Blood pressure-lowering drugs are ineffective for most of the patients. Our previous study demonstrated the inhibition of endothelial secreted miR-126-3p by rapamycin ameliorate the aneurysmal phenotype of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in vitro. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the modulation and mechanism of miR-126-3p in a murine model of TAA (Fbn1C1039G/+). Our results showed that noticeable disturbed flow (DF) was observed in the aorta of Fbn1C1039G/+ mice, and the expression of miR-126-3p was significantly increased under the DF in the cell chamber. This finding was also confirmed by tests in the corresponding DF area of the human aortic aneurysm tissue. Constant rapamycin administration significantly ameliorates the incidence and severity of Fbn1C1039G/+ mice characterized by decreased aortic media degradation, macrophage infiltration and MMP2/9 expression in the aortic wall. Mechanistic studies showed that rapamycin attenuates TAA progression by inhibiting miR-126-3p through ERK1/2 inactivation.

BACKGROUND: We sought to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of single-stage endovascular treatment with AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy followed by stenting for iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) with secondary acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT). METHODS: We conducted a multiple-center prospective nonrandomized study to enroll patients with left-sided acute iliac-common femoral DVT secondary to IVCS. We performed AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy followed by stenting to evaluate the success rate, periprocedural complications, hospital stay, clinical outcomes, and stent-patency rate. RESULTS: A prospective cohort study of 19 consecutive patients diagnosed with IVCS and secondary acute iliac-common femoral DVT from October 2014 to April 2017 was conducted. The technique success rate was 94.7%, and the mean procedure time was 77 minutes. The 1-year primary and secondary patency rate was 84.2% and 94.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Single-staged endovascular treatment with AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy and stenting is feasible, safe, and effective for IVCS with secondary acute iliofemoral DVT.

May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a condition in which the left common iliac vein is compressed by the right common iliac artery, which may cause swelling, pain or deep venous thrombosis of the left lower extremity.1 Postthrombotic syndrome, nonthrombotic chronic venous insufficiency, and recurrence after venous thrombosis are also possible complications. Although MTS combined with left iliac arteriovenous fistula is rarely reported, we treated 3 such cases in the past year.

Dendrobium is one of the largest genera in the Orchidaceae, and D. officinale is used in traditional medicine, particularly in China. D. officinale seeds are minute and contain limited energy reserves, and colonization by a compatible fungus is essential for germination under natural conditions. When the orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) initiates symbiotic interactions with germination-driven orchid seeds, phytohormones from the orchid or the fungus play key roles, but the details of the possible biochemical pathways are still poorly understood. In the present study, we established a symbiotic system between D. officinale and Tulasnella sp. for seed germination. RNA-Seq was used to construct libraries of symbiotic-germinated seeds (DoTc), asymbiotic-germinated seeds (Do), and free-living OMF (Tc) to investigate the expression profiles of biosynthesis and metabolism pathway genes for three classes of endogenous hormones: JA (jasmonic acid), ABA (abscisic acid) and SLs (strigolactones), in D. officinale seeds and OMF under symbiotic and asymbiotic conditions. Low concentrations of endogenous JA, ABA, or SLs were detected in the D. officinale-Tulasnella symbiont compared with the asymbiotic tissues. Gene annotation results suggest that the expression of DEGs (differentially expressed genes) related to JA and ABA biosynthesis from D. officinale were down-regulated, while most of the key DEGs related to SL biosynthesis from D. officinale were up-regulated in the symbiotic germinated seeds compared with the asymbiotic germinated seeds. Moreover, in the OMF, we found a significantly up-regulated differential expression of the JA and ABA biosynthesis-related genes in the symbiotic interaction, with the opposite expression trends to those found in Dendrobium. This indicates that Dendrobium seed symbiotic germination may be stimulated by the apparent involvement of the OMF in the production of hormones, and relatively low concentrations of endogenous JA, ABA, or SLs might be maintained to promote the growth of the D. officinale-Tulasnella symbiotic protocorm-like body. These results will increase our understanding of the possible roles played by endogenous hormones in the regulation of the orchid-fungus symbiosis.
