In vivo studies revealed that 5F increased EPCs number in the BM in mice after acute hindlimb ischemia that was effectively prevented with PD98059 treatment. These data supported the conclusion that 5F promoted endothelial differentiation of MAPCs through activation of ERK1/2 signaling. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most frequent and aggressive malignant brain tumour, with a poor prognosis despite available surgical and radio-chemotherapy, rising the necessity for searching alternative therapies. Several preclinical studies evaluating the efficacy of cannabinoids in animal models of GBM have been described, but the diversity of experimental conditions and of outcomes hindered definitive conclusions about cannabinoids efficacy. A search in different databases (Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus and SciELO) was conducted during June 2019 to systematically identify publications evaluating the effects of cannabinoids in murine xenografts models of GBM. The tumour volume and number of animals were extracted, and a random effects meta-analysis of these results was performed to estimate the efficacy of cannabinoids. The impact of different experimental factors and publication bias on the efficacy of cannabinoids was also assessed. Nine publications, which satisfied the inclusion criteria, were identified and subdivided in 22 studies involving 301 animals. Overall, cannabinoid therapy reduced the fold of increase in tumour volume in animal models of GBM, when compared with untreated controls. The overall weighted standardized difference in means (WSDM) for the effect of cannabinoids was -1.399 (95% CI -1.900 to -0.898; P-value less then 0.0001). Furthermore, treatment efficacy was observed for different types of cannabinoids, alone or in combination, and for different treatment durations. Cannabinoid therapy was still effective after correcting for publication bias. The results indicate that cannabinoids reduce the tumour growth in animal models of GBM, even after accounting for publication bias. E-616452 Aeromonas veronii is a widely distributed novel pathogen that can affect humans and animals, it can cause sepsis in fish with high mortality and serious economic losses to aquaculture. In the study, the gut microbiome of the infected and uninfected grass carp with Aeromonas veronii were analyzed probiotics and pathogenic bacteria by the Miseq high-throughput sequencing, the results showed that the infected fish were significantly higher in Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Fusobacteria, and the immune factors in liver and kidney were up-regulated by qRT-PCR. In order to effectively inhibit the pathogen, we screened an actinomycete strain and had good antibacterial effect on Aeromonas veronii. The new antagonistic bacteria was named as Streptomyces flavotricini X101, the whole genome sequencing revealed that the metabolic process was most active. After grass carp was inoculated with the minimum inhibitory concentration of 900 μg/mL of the strain's fermentation supernatant, then Aeromonas veronii was injected, we found that the pathological symptoms such as body surface, anus and abdominal congestion were alleviated by H&E staining. Cellular experiments showed that it wasn't toxic to liver cells of grass carp. Overall, This is the first study of changes in intestinal flora, phenotype, and immune factors in grass crap infected with Aeromonas veronii, it had important theoretical significance and application value for immunization and prevention. Infections caused by multi-drug resistance Acinetobacter baumannii are increasing worldwide. Discovery of the vaccine against this bacterium as a cost-effective and preventive strategy seems necessary. This study has introduced 11 new putative vaccine candidates against A. baumannii using the reverse vaccinology method. We considered 33 genomes of A. baumannii strains and selected the outer membrane and secreted proteins as putative vaccine candidates using Vaxign web tool. Finally, 11 proteins were confirmed as promising vaccine candidates. These targets belonged to proteins involved in cell division (NlpD), fimbria or pili assembly (FimA, PapC, and PapC associated with usher system), iron acquisition (FhuA, BfnH, FatA-like protein, and IutA), DcaP-like protein and two novel hypothetical proteins (HP-1 and HP-2). The analysis of linear and conformational B-cell epitopes showed that the outer membrane proteins including DcaP-like protein and HP-2 had high conserved surface-exposed epitopes that they can consider as excellent putative vaccine targets in the upcoming immunological assays. Edwardsiella piscicida is a Gram-negative pathogen that causes disease in diverse aquatic organisms. The disease leads to extensive losses in commercial aquaculture species, including farmed U.S. catfish. The type III secretion system (T3SS) often contributes to virulence of Gram-negative bacteria. The E. piscicida esaS gene encodes a predicted T3SS export apparatus protein. In the current study, an E. piscicida esaS mutant was constructed and characterized to increase our understanding of the role of T3SS in E. piscicida virulence. Deletion of esaS did not significantly affect biofilm formation and hemolytic activity of E. piscicida, but it had significant effects on expression of hemolysis and T3SS effector genes during biofilm growth. EpΔesaS showed significantly (P less then 0.05) reduced virulence in catfish compared to the parent strain. No mortalities occurred in fish infected with EpΔesaS at 6.3 × 105 and 1.26 × 106 CFU/fish compared to 26% mortality in fish infected with wild-type E. piscicida at 7.5 × 105 CFU/fish. Bioluminescence imaging indicated that EpΔesaS invades catfish and colonizes for a short period in the organs. Furthermore, catfish immunized with EpΔesaS at 6.3 × 105 and 1.26 × 106 CFU provided 47% and 87% relative percent survival, respectively. These findings demonstrated that esaS plays a role in E. piscicida virulence, and the deletion mutant has vaccine potential for protection against wild-type E. piscicida infection. BACKGROUND Recent demonstrations of normal tissue sparing by high dose, high dose rate FLASH radiotherapy have driven considerable interest in its application to improve clinical outcomes. However, there remains significant uncertainty about the underlying mechanisms of FLASH sparing, and how deliveries can be optimised to maximize benefit from this effect. Rapid oxygen depletion has been suggested as a potential mechanism by which these effects occur, but has yet to be quantitatively tested against experimental data. METHODS Models of oxygen kinetics during irradiation were used to develop a time-dependent model of the Oxygen Enhancement Ratio (OER) in mammalian cells that incorporates oxygen depletion. The characteristics of this model were then explored in terms of the dose- and dose rate dependence of the OER. This model was also fit to experimental data from both in vitro and in vivo datasets. RESULTS In cases of FLASH radiotherapy, this model suggests that oxygen levels can be depleted by amounts which are sufficient to impact on radiosensitivity only in conditions of intermediate oxygen tension, with no effect seen at high or very low oxygen levels.
