Background
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an effective treatment for severe aplastic anemia (SAA). However, graft failure and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) are major causes of the early morbidity in Allo-HSCT.Methods
To reduce graft failure and GVHD, we treated fifteen patients with SAA using high- dose of HSCT with both G-CSF mobilized PB and BMSCs from HLA-identical siblings to treat patients with SAA.Results
All patients had successful bone marrow engraftment. Only one patient had late rejection. Median time to ANC greater than 0.5 × 109/L and platelet counts greater than 20 × 109/L was 12 and 16.5 days, respectively. No acute GVHD was observed. The incidence of chronic GVHD was 6.67%. The total three-year probability of disease-free survival was 79.8%.Conclusion
HSCT with both G-CSF mobilized PB and BMSCs is a promising approach for heavily transfused and/or allo-immunized patients with SAA.2.

Background
Centrifugation is an indispensable procedure for plasma sample preparation, but applied conditions can vary between labs.Aim
Determine whether routinely used plasma centrifugation protocols (1500×g 10 min; 3000×g 5 min) influence non-targeted metabolomic analyses.Methods
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) data were evaluated with sparse partial least squares discriminant analyses and compared with cell count measurements.Results
Besides significant differences in platelet count, we identified substantial alterations in NMR and HRMS data related to the different centrifugation protocols.Conclusion
Already minor differences in plasma centrifugation can significantly influence metabolomic patterns and potentially bias metabolomics studies.3.

Objectives
To improve the production and molecular mass of the glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HA) in Bacillus subtilis by engineering hyaluronan synthase (HAS) from Streptococcus zooepidemicus.Results
By mutating regions within HAS intracellular domains, five positive variants exhibiting higher HA production (from 1.22 to 2.24 g l?1) and molecular mass values (from 1.20 to 1.36 × 106 Da) were constructed and characterized. Overexpression of the V5 variant and the genes tuaD and glmU increased HA production and molecular mass to 2.8 g l?1 and 2.4 × 106 Da, respectively.Conclusions
This study provides a novel strategy for improving HA production and its molecular mass.4.

Objectives
To demonstrate the effectiveness of a novel two-stage system coupling hydrolytic acidification with algal microcosms for the treatment of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resin-manufacturing wastewater.Results
After hydrolytic acidification, the BOD5/COD ratio increased from 0.22 to 0.56, showing improved biodegradability of the wastewater. Coupled with hydrolytic acidification, the algal microcosms showed excellent capability of in-depth removal of COD, NH3–N and phosphorus with removal rates 83, 100, and 89%, respectively, and aromatic pollutants, including benzene, were almost completely removed. The biomass concentration of Chlorella sp. increased from 5 × 106 to 2.1 × 107 cells/ml after wastewater treatment.Conclusions
This two-stage coupling system achieved deep cleaning of the benzene-containing petrochemical wastewater while producing greater algae biomass resources at low cost.5.

Objectives
To screen and identify the probe markers specifically binding to human cervical cancer, a phage-displayed 12-mer peptide library was used for biopanning of SiHa cells.Results
After four rounds of whole-cell subtraction biopanning, the phage recovery was 21-fold higher (from 3.9 × 10?5 to 8.3 × 10?4) than that of the first round, and specific phage clones were significantly enriched. 57 randomly selected phage clones were tested by ELISA, and 36 phage clones were identified as positive clones. After sequencing of positive clones, six different peptide sequences were obtained and CSP3 showed best affinity and specificity to SiHa cells via immunofluorescence assay.Conclusions
Peptide, CSP3, bound to SiHa cells specifically and sensitively. It may be a potential candidate for molecular imaging detection and targeting therapy of cervical cancer.6.

Purpose
To evaluate the efficiency of corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in addition to topical voriconazole in cases with mycotic keratitis.Design
Retrospective case series in a tertiary university hospital.Participants
CXL was performed on 13 patients with mycotic keratitis who presented poor or no response to topical voriconazole treatment.Methods
The clinical features, symptoms, treatment results and complications were recorded retrospectively. The corneal infection was graded according to the depth of infection into the stroma (from grade 1 to grade 3). The visual analogue scale was used to calculate the pain score before and 2 days after surgery.Main Outcome Measures
Grade of the corneal infection.Results
Mean age of 13 patients (6 female and 7 male) was 42.4 ± 17.7 years (20–74 years). Fungus was demonstrated in culture (eight patients) or cytological examination (five patients). Seven of the 13 patients (54%) were healed with topical voriconazole and CXL adjuvant treatment in 26 ± 10 days (15–40 days). The remaining six patients did not respond to CXL treatment; they initially presented with higher grade ulcers. Pre- and post-operative pain score values were 8 ± 0.8 and 3.5 ± 1, respectively (p < 0.05).Conclusions
The current study suggests that adjunctive CXL treatment is effective in patients with small and superficial mycotic ulcers. These observations require further research by large randomized clinical trials.7.

Introduction
Platelet counts exceeding 1.000 × 103/μl are usually considered secondary to another cause, particularly to chronic myeloproliferative disease (CMPD). Reactive thrombocytosis due to iron deficiency rarely exceeds platelet counts of 700 × 103/μl.Case presentation
Here we report the case of a young woman presenting with clinical signs of severe anemia. Laboratory findings confirmed an iron-deficiency anemia associated with severe thrombocytosis of 1703 × 103/μl. Macroscopic gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract bleeding was excluded. The excessive elevation of platelets, slightly elevated lactate dehydrogenase and slightly elevated leukocytes along with the absence of other inflammation parameters raised the suspicion of an underlying hematological disease. However, bone marrow evaluation could not prove the suspected diagnosis of a CMPD, especially essential thrombocythemia (ET). In the further clinical course the platelet count returned to normal after raising the hemoglobin to a level close to normal range with erythrocyte transfusion, and normalization of serum iron and decline of erythropoietin. Finally, following small bowel biopsy, despite the absence of typical clinical signs, celiac disease was diagnosed. After discharge from hospital the patient was commenced on a gluten-free diet and her hemoglobin almost completely normalized in the further follow-up period.Conclusion
This case illustrates the rare constellation of an extreme thrombocytosis most likely secondary to iron deficiency due to celiac disease. This represents, to the best of the authors' knowledge, the highest reported platelet count coincident with iron deficiency. A potential mechanism for the association of iron-deficiency anemia and thrombocytosis is discussed. Even in the presence of 'atypically' high platelets one should consider the possibility of reactive thrombocytosis. Extreme thrombocytosis could emerge in the case of iron deficiency secondary to celiac disease.8.

Objectives
To develop an efficient cost-effective screening process to improve production of glucoamylase in Aspergillus niger.Results
The cultivation of A. niger was achieved with well-dispersed morphology in 48-deep-well microtiter plates, which increased the throughput of the samples compared to traditional flask cultivation. There was a close negative correlation between glucoamylase and its pH of the fermentation broth. A novel high-throughput analysis method using Methyl Orange was developed. When compared to the conventional analysis method using 4-nitrophenyl α-D-glucopyranoside as substrate, a correlation coefficient of 0.96 by statistical analysis was obtained.Conclusion
Using this novel screening method, we acquired a strain with an activity of 2.2 × 103 U ml?1, a 70% higher yield of glucoamylase than its parent strain.9.

Background
Myelofibrosis (MF) is associated with a variety of burdensome symptoms and reduced survival compared with age-/sex-matched controls. This analysis evaluated the long-term survival benefit with ruxolitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK)1/JAK2 inhibitor, in patients with intermediate-2 (int-2) or high-risk MF.Methods
This was an exploratory analysis of 5-year data pooled from the phase 3 COMFORT-I and -II trials. In both trials, patients could cross over to ruxolitinib from the control group (COMFORT-I, placebo; COMFORT-II, best available therapy). All continuing patients in the control groups crossed over to ruxolitinib by the 3-year follow-up. Overall survival (OS; a secondary endpoint in both trials) was evaluated using pooled intent-to-treat data from patients randomized to ruxolitinib or the control groups. OS was also evaluated in subgroups stratified by baseline anemia and transfusion status at week 24.Results
A total of 528 patients were included in this analysis; 301 were originally randomized to ruxolitinib (COMFORT-I, n?=?155; COMFORT-II, n?=?146) and 227 to control (n?=?154 and n?=?73, respectively). The risk of death was reduced by 30% among patients randomized to ruxolitinib compared with patients in the control group (median OS, 5.3 vs 3.8 years, respectively; hazard ratio [HR], 0.70 [95% CI, 0.54–0.91]; P?=?0.0065). After correcting for crossover using a rank-preserving structural failure time (RPSFT) method, the OS advantage was more pronounced for patients who were originally randomized to ruxolitinib compared with patients who crossed over from control to ruxolitinib (median OS, 5.3 vs 2.3 years; HR [ruxolitinib vs RPSFT], 0.35 [95% CI, 0.23–0.59]). An analysis of OS censoring patients at the time of crossover also demonstrated that ruxolitinib prolonged OS compared with control (median OS, 5.3 vs 2.4 years; HR [ruxolitinib vs censored at crossover], 0.53 [95% CI, 0.36–0.78]; P?=?0.0013). The survival benefit with ruxolitinib was observed irrespective of baseline anemia status or transfusion requirements at week 24.Conclusions
These findings support ruxolitinib treatment for patients with int-2 or high-risk MF, regardless of anemia or transfusion status. Further analyses will be important for exploring ruxolitinib earlier in the disease course to assess the effect on the natural history of MF.10.

Introduction
The androgen receptor (AR) is the master regulator of prostate cancer cell metabolism. Degarelix is a novel gonadotrophin-releasing hormone blocker, used to decrease serum androgen levels in order to treat advanced human prostate cancer. Little is known of the rapid metabolic response of the human prostate cancer tissue samples to the decreased androgen levels.Objectives
To investigate the metabolic responses in benign and cancerous tissue samples from patients after treatment with Degarelix by using HRMAS 1H NMR spectroscopy.Methods
Using non-destructive HR-MAS 1H NMR spectroscopy we analysed the metabolic changes induced by decreased AR signalling in human prostate cancer tissue samples. Absolute concentrations of the metabolites alanine, lactate, glutamine, glutamate, citrate, choline compounds [t-choline = choline + phosphocholine (PC) + glycerophosphocholine (GPC)], creatine compounds [t-creatine = creatine (Cr) + phosphocreatine (PCr)], taurine, myo-inositol and polyamines were measured in benign prostate tissue samples (n = 10), in prostate cancer specimens from untreated patients (n = 7) and prostate cancer specimens from patients treated with Degarelix (n = 6).Results
Lactate, alanine and t-choline concentrations were significantly elevated in high-grade prostate cancer samples when compared to benign samples in untreated patients. Decreased androgen levels resulted in significant decreases of lactate and t-choline concentrations in human prostate cancer biopsies.Conclusions
The reduced concentrations of lactate and t-choline metabolites due to Degarelix could in principle be monitored by in vivo 1H MRS, which suggests that it would be possible to monitor the effects of physical or chemical castration in patients by that non-invasive method.11.

Introduction
The analysis of limited-quantity samples remains a challenge associated with mouse models, especially for multi-platform metabolomics studies. Although inherently insensitive, the highly specific characteristics of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy make it an advantageous platform for global metabolite profiling, particularly in mitochondrial disease research.Objectives
Show method equivalency between a well-established standard operating protocol (SOP) and our novel miniaturized 1H-NMR method.Method
The miniaturized method was performed in a 2 mm NMR tube on a standard 500 MHz NMR spectrometer with a 5 mm triple-resonance inverse TXI probe at room temperature.Results
Firstly, using synthetic urine spiked with low (50 µM), medium (250 µM) and high (500 µM) levels (n?=?10) of nine standards, both the SOP and miniaturized method were shown to have acceptable precision (CV?<?15%), relative accuracy (80–120%), and linearity (R2?>?0.95), except for taurine. Furthermore, statistical equivalence was shown using the two one-sided test. Secondly, pooled mouse quadriceps muscle extract was used to further confirm method equivalence (n?=?3), as well as explore the analytical dynamics of this novel approach by analyzing more-concentrated versions of samples (up to 10× concentration) to expand identification of metabolites qualitatively, with quantitative linearity. Lastly, we demonstrate the new technique’s application in a pilot metabolomics study using minute soleus muscle tissue from a mouse model of Leigh syndrome using Ndufs4 KO mice.Conclusion
We demonstrate method equivalency, supporting our novel miniaturized 1H-NMR method as a financially feasible alternative to cryoprobe technology—for limited-quantity biological samples in metabolomics studies that requires a volume one-tenth of the SOP.12.

Introduction
The human gut microbiota has the ability to modulate host metabolism. Metabolic profiling of the microbiota and the host biofluids may determine associations significant of a host–microbe relationship. Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a long-term disorder of fatigue that is poorly understood, but has been linked to gut problems and altered microbiota.Objectives
Find changes in fecal microbiota and metabolites in ME/CFS and determine their association with blood serum and urine metabolites.Methods
A workflow was developed that correlates microbial counts with fecal, blood serum and urine metabolites quantitated by high-throughput 1H NMR spectroscopy. The study consists of thirty-four females with ME/CFS (34.9?±?1.8 SE years old) and twenty-five non-ME/CFS female (33.0?±?1.6 SE years old).Results
The workflow was validated using the non-ME/CFS cohort where fecal short chain fatty acids (SCFA) were associated with serum and urine metabolites indicative of host metabolism changes enacted by SCFA. In the ME/CFS cohort a decrease in fecal lactate and an increase in fecal butyrate, isovalerate and valerate were observed along with an increase in Clostridium spp. and a decrease in Bacteroides spp. These differences were consistent with an increase in microbial fermentation of fiber and amino acids to produce SCFA in the gut of ME/CFS patients. Decreased fecal amino acids positively correlated with substrates of gluconeogenesis and purine synthesis in the serum of ME/CFS patients.Conclusion
Increased production of SCFA by microbial fermentation in the gut of ME/CFS patients may be associated with deleterious effects on the host energy metabolism.13.
Objective
To investigate the cellulose modification process on kraft pulp during recycling by mono-endoglucanase.Results
Pichia pastoris expressing endoglucanase, EG1, was grown in a 10 l fermenter yielding a high carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) activity of 340 U mg?1. EG1-mediated modification of kraft pulp resulted in a paper sheet with the tensile index and burst index increased by 10 and 6.5 %, respectively. The kink index (indicating abrupt bends in fibres) of the enzyme-treated group decreased sharply by 45 % after the first recycling, compared with a reduction of only 1 % in the control group. Furthermore, EG1 treatment decreased the growth of crystallinity from 73.5 to 73.2 % and crystal size from 7.45 to 7.21 nm, which alleviated paper aging.Conclusion
Endoglucanase EG1 modifies the interfacial properties of fibers, which affects fibre morphology during the recycling process and improves the technical properties of the resulting pulp and paper.14.

Introduction
Increased levels of circulating branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), as well as phenylalanine, and tyrosine have been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. However, it is unknown how these metabolites are affected by weight loss, and during weight-maintaining treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA).Objective
We aimed to characterize changes in metabolites related to protein turnover and glycolysis after a weight loss intervention followed by long term weight maintenance with/without GLP-1 RA.Methods
Fifty-eight obese individuals underwent a diet-induced 12 % body weight loss during 8 weeks. Participants were randomized to weight maintenance with or without administration of the GLP-1 RA liraglutide (1.2 mg/day) for 52 weeks. Metabolomic profiling by high-throughput proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used for quantification of metabolites.Results
The weight loss was maintained in both groups and was associated with 9–20 % decreases in plasma concentrations of alanine, phenylalanine, histidine, tyrosine and the BCAAs leucine, isoleucine and valine (p < 0.05). Plasma citrate levels increased during weight loss (p = 5.2 × 10?15) and showed inverse correlation with insulin resistance measured by HOMA–IR levels (r = ?0.318, p = 0.025). Valine concentrations were lower in the control group compared to the GLP-1RA group during weight maintenance (p = 0.005).Conclusion
Weight loss is associated with marked changes in plasma concentrations of eight amino acids and glycolysis-related metabolites. Levels of the suggested type 2 diabetes risk markers (BCAAs) remain low during long-term weight maintenance.15.

Purpose
CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells are present in increased numbers in patients with advanced cancer and CD25+ T cell depletion potentiates tumour immunity in animal models. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of adoptive transfer of CD25+ depleted autologous T cells in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma and to examine resulting changes in lymphocyte subsets.Patients and methods
Six patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma underwent leukapheresis followed by conditioning chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. The autologous leukapheresis product was depleted of CD25+ cells using CliniMACS® System then re-infused into the patient.Results
Efficient CD25+ depletion from all leukapheresis products was achieved and 0.55–5.87 × 107/kg CD3+ cells were re-infused. Chemotherapy related haematological toxicity was observed, but blood counts recovered in all patients allowing discharge after a mean inpatient stay of 21 days. One patient subsequently developed a rapidly progressive neurological syndrome. A transient reduction in CD25+ subset was noted in the peripheral blood of 5 out of 6 patients with evidence of increased T cell responses to PHA in 4 out of 6 patients. One patient showed increased specific proliferative responses to the tumour associated antigen h5T4 coinciding with the nadir of Treg cells.Conclusions
Given the transient nature of the reduction in CD25+ subset and the observed toxicity there is a need to explore further strategies to improve the safety and efficacy of this approach. Nevertheless, the results provide proof of concept in potentiation of tumour antigen T cell responses when Treg cell levels are depleted.16.
Objective
To elucidate the molecular mechanism of microRNA-215 (miR-215) in the migration and invasion of high grade glioma.Results
42 Patients were analysed for clinicopathological characteristics. qRT-PCR showed that miR-215 was up-regulated in glioma tissues compared with non-neoplastic brain tissues (P < 0.05). The up-regulated miR-215 was closely associated with high grade glioma (P < 0.01) and poor overall survival (P < 0.01). Transwell assay showed that re-expression of miR-215 enhanced migration and invasion of glioma cells. miR-215 also down-regulated retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene 1 (RB1) expression by targeting its 3′-UTR. Reversely, re-expression of RB1 inhibited partial effect of miR-215 on migration and invasion in vitro.Conclusions
Re-expression of miR-215 promoted cell migration and invasion of glioma by targeting RB1. miR-215 can thus be used as a biomarker for tumor progression and prognosis in human high grade glioma.17.
Objectives
To use permeabilized cells of the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, that expresses human UDP-glucose 6-dehydrogenase (UGDH, EC 1.1.1.22), for the production of UDP-glucuronic acid from UDP-glucose.Results
In cell extracts no activity was detected. Therefore, cells were permeabilized with 0.3 % (v/v) Triton X-100. After washing away all low molecular weight metabolites, the permeabilized cells were directly used as whole cell biocatalyst. Substrates were 5 mM UDP-glucose and 10 mM NAD+. Divalent cations were not added to the reaction medium as they promoted UDP-glucose hydrolysis. With this reaction system 5 mM UDP-glucose were converted into 5 mM UDP-glucuronic acid within 3 h.Conclusions
Recombinant permeabilized cells of S. pombe can be used to synthesize UDP-glucuronic acid with 100 % yield and selectivity.18.

Introduction
Frail COPD patients are frequently not accepted for regular pulmonary rehabilitation programs due to low physical condition and functional limitations. Rehabilitation programs in nursing homes for geriatric patients with COPD have been developed. The effects of such programs are largely unknown.Aims
To assess the course of COPD-related hospital admissions and exercise tolerance in a cohort of frail COPD patients participating in geriatric COPD rehabilitation.Methods
Retrospective observational study with a follow up of 12 months after discharge from rehabilitation. COPD related hospital admission days were measured in the year before and after participating rehabilitation. Exercise tolerance was measured by the six minute walk test (6MWT) at admission and at discharge from rehabilitation.Results
Fifty-eight participants accomplished the rehabilitation program. Twelve patients died in the first year after discharge. The median number of hospital admission days in the year before participating rehabilitation was 21 (IQR 10–33). The first year after discharge this was decreased to a median of 6 (IQR 0–12). The 6MWT increased from 194 (SD 85) meters at admission to 274 (SD 95) meters at discharge (mean difference 80 m, SD 72; p < 0.05).Conclusions
Geriatric COPD rehabilitation in a nursing home setting seems to reduce hospital admissions in frail COPD patients and to increase exercise tolerance.19.
Objective
To investigate green synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by Trichosporon montevideense, and to study their reduction of nitroaromatics.Results
AuNPs had a characteristic absorption maximum at 535 nm. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the biosynthesized nanoparticles were attached on the cell surface. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the particles formed as face-centered cubic (111)-oriented crystals. The average size of AuNPs decreased from 53 to 12 nm with increasing biomass concentration. The catalytic reduction of 2-nitrophenol, 3-nitrophenol, 4-nitrophenol, o-nitrophenylamine and m-nitrophenylamine (0.1 mM) by NaBH4 had reaction rate constants of 0.32, 0.44, 0.09, 0.24 and 0.39 min?1 with addition of 1.45 × 10?2 mM AuNPs.Conclusions
An eco-friendly approach for synthesis of AuNPs by T. montevideense is reported for the first time. The biogenic AuNPs could serve as efficient catalysts for hydrogenation of various nitroaromatics.20.
