Learning Introductory Biology: Students' Concept-Building Approaches Predict Transfer on Biology Exams
CBE Life Sci Educ. 2022 Dec;21(4):ar65. doi: 10.1187/cbe.21-12-0335.ABSTRACTPrevious studies have found that students' concept-building approaches, identified a priori with a cognitive psychology laboratory task, are associated with student exam performances in chemistry classes. Abstraction learners (those who extract the principles underlying related examples) performed better than exemplar learners (those who focus on memorizing the training exemplars and responses) on transfer exam questions but not retention questions, after accounting for general ability. We extended these findings to introductory biology courses in ...

Putting the Pieces Together: Student Thinking about Transformations of Energy and Matter
CBE Life Sci Educ. 2022 Dec;21(4):ar60. doi: 10.1187/cbe.20-11-0264.ABSTRACTResearch on student thinking facilitates the design of instructional materials that build on student ideas. The pieces framework views student knowledge as consisting of independent pieces that students assemble in fluctuating ways based on the context at hand. This perspective affords important insights about the reasons students think the way they do. We used the pieces framework to investigate student thinking about the concept transformations of energy and matter with a specific focus on metabolism. We conducted think-aloud interviews with unde...

Phase I Randomized Trial of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy Followed by Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab or Nivolumab Alone in Advanced/Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: In this first prospective trial investigating the combination of SBRT and immunotherapy for HCC, multi-modal therapy demonstrated acceptable safety. SBRT with nivolumab plus ipilimumab compared favorably to outcomes of immunotherapy alone and warrants further investigation.PMID:36108891 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2022.09.052 (Source: Health Physics)

Phase 1 Randomized Trial of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Followed by Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab or Nivolumab Alone in Advanced/Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic option for advanced or unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, survival remains poor with only a subset of patients deriving benefit. This trial investigated the safety and efficacy of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with immunotherapy in HCC. (Source: International Journal of Radiation Oncology * Biology * Physics)

Viruses, Vol. 14, Pages 1949: Biological and Molecular Characterization of the Lytic Bacteriophage SoKa against Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae, Causal Agent of Citrus Blast and Black Pit in Tunisia
roen Wagemans Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (Pss), the causal agent of citrus blast and black pit lesion of lemon fruit, continues to cause serious damage in citrus production in Tunisia. Faced with the rapid emergence of the disease and the inefficiency of conventional control methods, an alternative strategy based on the use of bacteriophages was pursued in this study. The lytic Pss bacteriophage SoKa was isolated from soil collected from Tunisian citrus orchards. Analysis of the host range showed that SoKa was able to lyse seven other Pss strains. Interestingly, Pseudomonas syringae pv. porri, pathogenic to leek...

Eriocitrin: A review of pharmacological effects
Biomed Pharmacother. 2022 Aug 18;154:113563. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113563. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study aimed to recognize the recent literature to highlight the pharmacological impacts and highlight the therapeutic potential of the active molecule eriocitrin. Citrus limon are a good resource of the flavanone eriocitrin (eriodictyol 7-O-β-D-rutinoside). Eriocitrin has potent biological actions due to its strong antioxidant, antitumor, anti-allergic, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activities. Eriocitrin is more potent in suppressing oxidative stress in diabetes mellitus (DM) and other chronic di...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 5041: Antibacterial Activity of Aureonuclemycin Produced by Streptomyces aureus Strain SPRI-371
Tao Yang Zhang Actinomycetes play a vital role as one of the most important natural resources for both pharmaceutical and agricultural applications. The actinomycete strain SPRI-371, isolated from soil collected in Jiangsu province, China, was classified as Streptomyces aureus based on its morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular biological characteristics. Its bacterial activity metabolites were identified as aureonuclemycin (ANM), belonging to adenosine derivatives with the molecular formula C16H19N5O9 for ANM A and C10H13N5O3 for ANM B. Simultaneously, the industrial fermentation process of a mutat...
