Malassezia spp. antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) capacities are limited by the lack of efficient and standardised AFST procedure, mainly because of the fastidious cultivation of these yeast.

This study aimed to compare the FastFung broth (FFB) to modified Dixon broth (mDIXB) for the in vitro AFST of Malassezia spp. Fluconazole, ketoconazole, voriconazole and terbinafine MICs against a 19 Malassezia strains, including 6M furfur, 4M pachydermatis, 5M sympodialis and 4M slooffiae.

The essential agreement (EA) between the two assays, and the intra- and inter-laboratory agreement of each assay were assessed.

The MIC data obtained in our study were comparable to those reported in the literature. FFB showed to enhance Malassezia growth and displayed 100% (±2-fold dilution) EAs demonstrating similar performances to mDIXB. In addition, the MIC data obtained by using the FFB were reproducible between laboratories with EAs ranging from 94.7% to 100%.

Therefore, FFB is a suitable alternative to mDXB for Malassezia spp. AFST.

Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is used to secure the airway of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients, with ketamine frequently used for induction. Studies show that ketamine-induction RSI might cause lower blood pressures when compared to etomidate. It is not clear if the results from that research can be extrapolated to systems that use different dosing regimens for ketamine RSI. Ambulance Victoria authorized the use of 1.5mg/kg ketamine in January 2015 for head injury RSI induction by road-based paramedics. This study aims to examine whether systolic blood pressure changed when ketamine was introduced for prehospital head injury RSI.

This study was a retrospective analysis of out-of-hospital suspected TBI that received RSI by paramedics. Our analysis employs an interrupted time-series analysis (ITSA), which is a quasi-experimental method that tested whether hypotension and systolic blood pressures changed after the switch to ketamine induction in 2015. This ITSA utilized an ordinary least squares regreypotension and also decreases in systolic blood pressures became evident after the introduction of ketamine. Further research to investigate the association between ketamine induction and survival is needed.
Database search engines are the preferred method to identify peptides in mass spectrometry data. However, valuable software is in this context not only defined by a powerful algorithm to separate correct from false identifications, but also by constant maintenance and continuous improvements.

In 2014, we presented our peptide identification algorithm MS Amanda, showing its suitability for identifying peptides in high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry data and its ability to outperform widely used tools to identify peptides. Since then, we have continuously worked on improvements to enhance its usability and to support new trends and developments in this fast-growing field, while keeping the original scoring algorithm to assess the quality of a peptide spectrum match unchanged.

We present the outcome of these efforts, MS Amanda 2.0, a faster and more flexible standalone version with the original scoring algorithm. The new implementation has led to a 3-5× speedup, is able to handle new ion types and supports standard data formats. We also show that MS Amanda 2.0 works best when using only the most common ion types in a particular search instead of all possible ion types.

MdMYB9 is essential for modulating the accumulation of both anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin in apple, but the molecular mechanism for induction of anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin biosynthesis by JA is unclear. In this study, we discovered an apple telomere-binding protein (MdTRB1) to be the interacting protein of MdMYB9. A series of biological assays showed that MdTRB1 acted as a positive modulator of anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin accumulation, and is dependent on MdMYB9. MdTRB1 interacted with MdMYB9 and enhanced the activation activity of MdMYB9 to its downstream genes. In addition, we found that the JA signaling repressor MdJAZ1 interacted with MdTRB1 and interfered with the interaction between MdTRB1 and MdMYB9, therefore negatively modulating MdTRB1-promoted biosynthesis of anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin. These results show that the JAZ1-TRB1-MYB9 module dynamically modulates JA-mediated accumulation of anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin. Taken together, our data further expand the functional study of TRB1 and provide insights for further studies of the modulation of anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin biosynthesis by JA.
Emodepside is an anthelmintic, originally developed for veterinary use. We investigated in healthy subjects the safety, and pharmacokinetics of a liquid service formulation (LSF) and immediate release (IR) tablet of emodepside in 2 randomised, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, Phase I studies.

Seventy-nine subjects in 10 cohorts in the single ascending dose study and 24 subjects in 3 ascending-dose cohorts in the multiple ascending dose study were enrolled. Emodepside as LSF was administered orally as single 1-40-mg doses and for 10 days as 5 or 10 mg once daily and 10-mg twice daily doses, respectively. Pharmacokinetics and safety were assessed up to 21 and 30 days, respectively. In addition, IR tablets containing 5 or 20 mg emodepside were tested in the single ascending dose study.

Emodepside as LSF was rapidly absorbed under fasting conditions, with dose-proportional increase in plasma concentrations at doses from 1 to 40 mg. MethyleneBlue Terminal half-life was > 500 hours. In the fed state, emodepside was absorbed more slowly but overall plasma exposure was not significantly affected. Compared to the LSF, the rate and extent of absorption was significantly lower with the tablets.

Overall, emodepside had acceptable safety and tolerability profiles, no major safety concerns, after single oral administration of 20 mg as LSF and after multiple oral administration over 10 days at 5 and 10 mg OD and at 10 mg twice daily. For further clinical trials, the development of a tablet formulation overcoming the limitations observed in the present study with the IR tablet formulation is considered.
