“DNA signaturing” database construction for Tetradesmus species identification and phylogenetic relationships of Scenedesmus-like green microalgae (Scenedesmaceae,Chlorophyta)

Species identification of Scenedesmus-like microalgae, comprising Desmodesmus, Tetradesmus, and Scenedesmus, has been challenging due to their high morphological and genetic similarity. After developing a DNA signaturing tool for Desmodesmus identification, we built a DNA signaturing database for Tetradesmus. The DNA signaturing tool contained species-specific nucleotide sequences of Tetradesmus species or strain groups with high similarity in ITS2 sequences. To construct DNA signaturing, we collected data on ITS2 sequences, aligned the sequences, organized the data by ITS2 sequence homology, and determined signature sequences according to hemi-compensatory base changes (hCBC)/CBC data from previous studies. Four Tetradesmus species and 11 strain groups had DNA signatures. The signature sequence of the genus Tetradesmus, TTA GAG GCT TAA GCA AGG ACCC, recognized 86% (157/183) of the collected Tetradesmus strains. Phylogenetic analysis of Scenedesmus-like species revealed that the Tetradesmus species were monophyletic and closely related to each other based on branch lengths. Desmodesmus was suggested to split into two subgenera due to their genetic and morphological distinction. Scenedesmus must be analyzed along with other genera of the Scenedesmaceae family to determine their genetic relationships. Importantly, DNA signaturing was integrated into a database for identifying Scenedesmus-like species through BLAST.     

Developing new hospital-at-home models based on Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment: Implementation recommendations by the Working Group on Hospital-at-Home and Community Geriatrics of the Catalan Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology

Last decade, the Government of Catalonia have urged an integrated care strategy for planning the care model to older populations living with frailty, multimorbidity and advanced illnesses. Based on international evidence that was reviewed by a group of experts from the Catalan Society of Gerontology and Geriatrics, we summarised some recommendation to adapt hospital-at-home care to older populations in our system. We defined Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) hospital-at-home (HaH) as a specialised home hospitalisation service formed by interdisciplinary teams, characterised by using the clinical methodology of CGA, and by adapting geriatric units’ protocols for the provision of person-centred care at home. Main benefits of CGA-HaH in these populations are: response to heath crises according to individualised care plans based on the situational diagnosis carried out by Primary Care teams; provision of a comprehensive health and social approach tailored to the complexity of cases and situations; and adaptation of multipurpose hospitalisation, by working on different person-centred care, aspects, such as caregivers support on care provision, focusing on function or home adaptation.

综合多组学数据的肝细胞癌分层策略及进展

肝细胞癌（hepatocellular carcinoma,HCC）是最常见和致命的肝脏恶性肿瘤。这种疾病的治疗一直受到其异质性的阻碍,极大限制了其个性化治疗的进展。因此,将高度异质的HCC分成具有相似特征的分子亚类对其临床治疗有着重要意义。随着高通量技术的不断发展,多种组学数据的关联研究可以加深了解HCC发生背后的生物学机制,也为HCC分层研究打开了新的思路。本文对当前HCC多组学分层策略及其相关研究进行了综述,并总结了当前HCC亚型的多组学特征。     

国家公园类型划分与空间识别——以云南省为例

国家公园是我国推进生态文明建设的重大制度创新,如何科学地对国家公园进行类型划分及空间识别,是国家公园布局和建设中的基础性工作,既有必要性也有紧迫性。本研究以中国国情为基础,参考国际经验,将国家公园划分为荒野导向型、生态优先型、游憩导向型与遗产导向型,构建了一个比较完整的国家公园分类体系。并以自然和人文多样化程度较高的云南为案例,以“双评价”为基础建立了一套指标体系和区划规则,利用人工神经网络建立土地利用演化学习算法,利用融入自适应惯性机制的元胞自动机展开时空模拟,对云南全域进行高分辨率不同类型国家公园的空间辨识,并通过收缩-膨胀原理对识别区域进行比较、修正和优化,进而提出未来云南国家公园布局的综合方案。结果表明: 云南省国家公园主要集中在三江地区与横断山区、滇西以及西南部地区,这3类地区可作为未来国家公园区划与分类保护的重点。本研究所建立的国家公园类型划分和空间识别的一般性可推广的研究范式和工作流程可作为全国应用的参考。

Quality Assessment of Bee Pollen-Honey Mixtures Using Thin-Layer Chromatography in Combination with Chemometrics

The aim of this study is to develop a rapid, effect-directed screening method for quality assessment of bee pollen-honey mixtures. The comparative antioxidant potential and phenolic content of honey, bee pollen, and the bee pollen-honey mixtures, was performed using spectrophotometry. The total phenolic content and antioxidative activity of bee pollen-honey mixtures with 20 % bee pollen share were in the range 3.03–3.11 mg GAE/g, and 6.02–6.96 mmol TE/kg, respectively, while mixtures with 30 % bee pollen share contained 3.92–4.18 mg GAE/g, and 9.69–10.11 mmol TE/kg. Chromatographic fingerprint of bee pollen-honey mixtures was performed by high-performance thin-layer chromatography with conditions developed by authors and reported for the first time. Fingerprint analysis hyphenated with chemometrics enabled authenticity assessments of honey in mixtures. Results indicate that bee pollen-honey mixtures represent a food with highly, both, nutritious characteristics and health-promoting effect.
