part/none 47%) who received all of their treatment at a SCC. After adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical factors, receiving all inpatient cancer treatment at a SCC was associated with superior overall survival (EWS HR 0.49, CI 0.37-0.67; OS HR 0.78, CI 0.63-0.97).

Our results suggest that treatment for EWS and OS at a SCC is associated with significantly improved survival even after adjustment for known prognostic factors. The superior survival among those treated at SCCs may be due to having greater access to clinical trials and services at SCCs.

These may be difficult to treat because of resistance-associated substitutions (RAS) emerging after treatment failure. Triple therapy with sofosbuvir (SOF)/velpatasvir (VEL)/voxilaprevir (VOX) is the recommended retreatment after DAA-based failure. However, in rare cases, failure to triple therapy occurs, and there is little information characterizing the viruses that relapse. To determine the RAS profile after failing SOF/VEL/VOX, and seek suitable alternatives for retreatment, samples from 5 patients were analysed using MiSeq Illumina deep sequencing before and after triple therapy. All patients were men, aged 59-78 years, 2 HCV genotype (G) 1b and 3 G3a. The most prevalent NS3 substitutions after SOF/VEL/VOX failure were Y56F and A166T. Four patients had the NS5A RAS, Y93H, after triple failure, and Y93H was observed in both G1b patients before retreatment and after SOF/ledipasvir failure. In 2 G3a patients, Y93H appeared at triple failure, and on the other G3a, A30K persisted in 100% of viral genomes. Finally, G1b patients showed C316N in NS5B, associated with SOF failure, but G3a patients had no known NS5B substitutions. HCV RAS analysis identified the following substitutions present at higher rates after triple failure Y56F in NS3 (G1b), A166T in NS3 (G3a), A30K or Y93H in NS5A, and C316N in NS5B (G1b). A RAS-based salvage treatment (SOF + glecaprevir/pibrentasvir + RBV) was successfully used in one G3a patient.Landscape genetics is an emerging field that integrates population genetics, landscape ecology, and spatial statistics to investigate how geographical and environmental features and evolutionary processes such as gene flow, genetic drift, and selection structure genetic variation at both the population and individual levels, with implications for ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. Despite being particularly well suited for primatologists, this method is currently underutilized. Here, we synthesize the current state of research on landscape genetics in primates. We begin by outlining how landscape genetics has been used to disentangle the drivers of diversity, followed by a review of how landscape genetic methods have been applied to primates. This is followed by a section highlighting special considerations when applying the methods to primates, and a practical guide to facilitate further landscape genetics studies using both existing and de novo datasets. We conclude by exploring future avenues of inquiry that could be facilitated by recent developments as well as underdeveloped applications of landscape genetics to primates.A conventional sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was upgraded using fixed biofilm carriers with a specific surface area around 18 m2 m-3 . The upgraded SBR was investigated to remove phenol from high strength wastewater operated under various operational conditions. The operational conditions used were variable volume exchange ratio (VER) up to 75%, hydraulic retention time (HRT) from (10.7-21.3 hr), aeration time (from 2 to 8 hr), and initial phenol concentration up to 600 mg L-1 . It was found that the upgraded SBR increased the removal efficiencies of biological oxygen demand (BOD5 ), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total suspended solids (TSS) by about 10% using high strength wastewater without phenol compared to SBR. Furthermore, the removal rate of phenol for the upgraded SBR was higher than conventional SBR by about 18% at 600 mg L- of initial phenol concentration under the same operational conditions. Compared to the conventional SBR, the upgraded version reduced the aeration step by 25% and achieved higher removal efficiency of phenol. Moreover, it reduced the excess sludge by about 23% and enhanced its properties by lowering the sludge volume index (SVI) by about 33%. selleck chemicals PRACTITIONER POINTS Upgrading conventional SBR by adding biofilm carriers is necessary for wastewater treatment with high strength wastewater. The upgraded SBR has a higher resistance toward phenol compound due to the presence of the attached biofilm. The upgraded SBR enhances sludge settling properties, decreases the amount of excess sludge, and also reduces the start-up period. The number of cycles per day by upgraded SBR was more than the conventional SBR by 15%. The upgraded SBR is an effective system and has good operational stability.Silicosis is a well-acknowledged occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of a large amount of free silica dust during the production period and eventually a considerable negative impact on the patients' quality of life. Autophagy exerts a critical influence on immune and inflammatory responses during the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, we sought to determine whether autophagy is involved in silicosis's pathogenesis and how it may affect pulmonary cellular physiology. In the animal experiments, we found persistent activation of autophagy in the development of pulmonary fibrosis, which was also accompanied by tumor necrosis factor and transforming growth factor expression increased. Therefore, the autophagy signaling pathway may regulate the inflammatory response and affect the progression of fibrosis. Further, in vitro experiments, we used LY294002, RAPA, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) intervened autophagy. Our results showed that PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway is involved in the autophagy changed mediated by SiO2 exposed, and autophagy might play a protective role in the progression of pulmonary fibrosis.
