Currently, sorafenib is the only systemic therapy capable of increasing overall survival of hepatocellular carcinoma patients. Unfortunately, its side effects, particularly its overall toxicity, limit the therapeutic response that can be achieved. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles （SPIONs） are very attractive for drug delivery because they can be targeted to specific sites in the body through application of a magnetic field, thus improving intratumoral accumulation and reducing adverse effects. Here, nanoformulations based on polyethylene glycol modified phospholipid micelles, loaded with both SPIONs and sorafenib, were successfully prepared and thoroughly investigated by complementary techniques. This nanovector system provided effective drug delivery, had an average hydrodynamic diameter of about 125 nm, had good stability in aqueous medium, and allowed controlled drug loading. Magnetic analysis allowed accurate determination of the amount of SPIONs embedded in each micelle. An in vitro system was designed to test whether the SPION micelles can be efficiently held using a magnetic field under typical flow conditions found in the human liver. Human hepatocellular carcinoma （HepG2） cells were selected as an in vitro system to evaluate tumor cell targeting efficacy of the superparamagnetic micelles loaded with sorafenib. These experiments demonstrated that this delivery platform is able to enhance sorafenib＇s antitumor effectiveness by magnetic targeting. The magnetic nanovectors described here represent promising candidates for targeting specific hepatic tumor sites, where selective release of sorafenib can improve its efficacy and safety profile.

Binary asymmetric nanocrystals （BNCs）, composed of a photoactive TiO2 nanorod joined with a superparamagnetic γ-Fe203 spherical domain, were embedded in polyethylene glycol modified phospholipid micelle and successfully bioconjugated to a suitably designed peptide containing an RGD motif. BNCs represent a relevant multifunctional nanomaterial, owing to the coexistence of two distinct domains in one particle, characterized by high photoactivity and magnetic properties, that is particularly suited for use as a phototherapy and hyperthermia agent as well as a magnetic probe in biological imaging. We selected the RGD motif in order to target integrin expressed on activated endothelial cells and several types of cancer cells. The prepared RGD-peptide/BNC conjugates, comprehensively monitored by using complementary optical and structural techniques, demon- strated a high stability and uniform dispersibility in biological media. The cytotoxicity of the RGD-peptide/BNC conjugates was studied in vitro. The cellular uptake of RGD-peptide conjugates in the cells, assessed by means of two distinct approaches, namely confocal microscopy analysis and emission spectroscopy determination in cell lysates, displayed selectivity of the RGD-peptide-BNC conjugate for the cw]33 integrin. These RGD-peptide-BNC conjugates have a high potential for theranostic treatment of cancer.

Dear Editor,Hereditary prostate cancer(PC)comprises 5%-10%of all PC cases.The increased risk of PC in menwith a family his-tory of the disease is well known and is commonly caused by germline mutations,leading to clinical guidelines men-tioning various genes for identifying high-risk individuals.However,the complex inheritance patterns involvingmul-tiple single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)make it a genetically heterogeneous disease,with genetic testing still in its early stages.

The SeqCode,formally called the Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes Described from Sequence Data,is a new code of nomenclature in which genome sequences are the nomenclatural types for the names of prokaryotic species.While similar to the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes(ICNP)in structure and rules of priority,it does not require the deposition of type strains in international culture collections.Thus,it allows for the formation of permanent names for uncultured prokaryotes whose nearly complete genome sequences have been obtained directly from environmental DNA as well as other prokaryotes that cannot be deposited in culture collections.Because the diversity of uncultured prokaryotes greatly exceeds that of readily culturable prokaryotes,the SeqCode is the only code suitable for naming the majority of prokaryotic species.The start date of the SeqCode was January 1,2022,and the online Registry(https://seqco.del)was created to ensure valid publication of names.The SeqCode recognizes all names validly published under the ICNP before 2022.After that date,names validly published under the SeqCode compete with ICNP names for priority.As a result,species can have only one name,either from the SeqCode or ICNP,enabling effective communication and the creation of unified taxonomies of uncultured and cultured prokaryotes.The SeqCode is administered by the SeqCode Committee,which is comprised of the SeqCode Community and elected administrative components.Anyone with an interest in the systematics of prokaryotes is encouraged to join the SeqCode Community and participate in the development of this resource.

Early detection of infected asymptomatic plants could prevent the dissemination of tomatobacterial canker throughout the crop and, thus, reduce associated economic losses. Reflectance spectroscopy has been proposed for the detection of diseases in plants, mainlycaused by foliar fungal pathogens. In contrast, bacterial canker is a vascular disease thatdoes not produce visible foliar symptoms until it is too late to avoid contagion to otherplants. The effects of the disease on the conductivity of the xylem have an impact onthe water content of the leaves;initially, a subtle effect that cannot be assessed with thenaked eye but can be evaluated by reflectance spectroscopy. The objective of this workwas to identify indices, based on the reflectance spectral signature of the plants, for thedetection of tomato plants affected by bacterial canker prior to the appearance of symptoms. To verify that the proposed methodology is applicable to a broad range of tomatogenotypes, two experiments were carried out with different tomato cultivars grown in potsand another on the ground in a greenhouse. Plants were inoculated with the pathogenicbacteria and the reflectance spectrum of the apical leaflet of two leaves per plant wereobtained before symptoms expression;several spectral indices were calculated from thereflectance spectra. Three indices, of the shortwave-infrared zone, allowed the detectionof bacterial canker inoculated plants in a fast and non-destructive way, up to one weekbefore symptoms were visible: Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), Simple Ratioof Water Index (SRWI) and Water Index 1 180 (WI1180). Our research demonstrates, forthe first time, the usefulness of spectral indices sensitive to water content for the identifi-cation of diseased plants. These indices arise as a promising tool for the early detection ofvascular plant diseases, that could be integrated into sustainable management plans.

BACKGROUND Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2(SARS-CoV-2)is the pathogen responsible for pandemic coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19).It is a highly contagious virus which primarily affects the respiratory tract,nevertheless,the lungs are not the only target organs of the virus.The intestinal tract could represent an additional tropism site for SARS-CoV-2.Several observations have collectively suggested that enteric infections can occur in COVID-19 patients.However,the detection of viral RNA in gastrointestinal(GI)tissue samples has not been adequately investigated and results are conflicting.AIM To detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in intestinal mucosa samples and to evaluate histological features.METHODS The COVID-19 patients hospitalized at an Italian tertiary hospital from April 2020 to March 2021 were evaluated for enrollment in an observational,monocentric trial.The study population was composed of two groups of adult patients.In the first group(biopsy group,30 patients),patients were eligible for inclusion if they had mild to moderate disease and if they agreed to have a rectal biopsy;in the second group(surgical specimen group,6 patients),patients were eligible for inclusion if they underwent intestinal resection during index hospitalization.Fifty-nine intestinal mucosal samples were analyzed.RESULTS Viral RNA was not detectable in any of the rectal biopsies performed(0/53).Histological examination showed no enterocyte damage,but slight edema of the lamina propria with mild inflammatory lymphoplasmacytic infiltration.There was no difference in inflammatory infiltrates in patients with and without GI symptoms.SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in fecal samples in 6 cases out of 14 cases examined(42.9%).In the surgical specimen group,all patients underwent emergency intestinal resection.Viral RNA was detected in 2 surgical specimens of the 6 examined,both of which were from patients with active neoplastic disease.Histological examination also pointed out abundant macrophages,granulocytes and plasma

Oxidative stress is a critial condition derived from the imbalance between the genention of reactive oxygen species and the sophisticated network of antioidant mechanisms.Several pollut ants and envronmental factors can afet this system through connected mechanisms,indirect relationships,and cascade effects from pre-transcriptional to catalytic level,by either enhancing intracellular ROS formation or impairing antioxidant defenses.This review summariaces the current kmnowledge on the pro oxidant challenges from emerging environmental stressors threatening marine organisms,such as pharmaceutials microplastics and dimate related ocean changes.Emphasis will be placed on oxidative pathways,including signaling proteins and transcription factors involved in regulation of antioxidant responsiveness.Mechanistic insights and lack of knowdedge will be pointed out by presenting single and combined efects of multiple stessors,unraveling questions to be adresed by future resarch in marine ectoicology.

Symbiotic relationships in marine environments are not fixed and can change throughout the animal’s life.This study investigated the ontogeny of symbiosis of the spider crab Libinia ferreirae with the host medusa Lychnorhiza lucerna.We described the type of relationship,the temporal correlation among species,and food habits.More than 50%of the sampled crabs were symbionts,most in early life stages.The highest number of crabs found in a single medusa was 11.Symbiosis was observed throughout most of the year but was more evident in warm periods.The crab has many benefits in this relationship with a medusa.One is the use of food resources captured by the medusa,primarily copepods.Because the crab steals the medusa’s food,it is a kleptoparasitic relationship.There is a niche partition between symbiont and the free-living crabs as they occupy different habitats and use nonoverlapping food resources.Previous research reported that symbiosis first developed during the crab’s last larval phase(megalopa)when crab and medusa are in the same habitat.Observation of the crab’s behavior shows that symbiosis occurs when the crab can grab to the medusa when the host touches the sea bottom.The crab also took advantage of water currents,releasing itself from the substrate and then drifting toward the medusa.The symbiotic relationship that crabs have with the medusa provides then with a nursery,food resources,shelter,dispersion,and decreased competition with free-living adult crabs,all essential for the crab’s survival.
