Abstract
A highly sensitive and specific real-time PCR method was developed for the reliable and rapid detection of African swine fever virus (ASFV). The method uses a commercial Universal Probe Library (UPL) probe combined with a specifically designed primer set to amplify an ASFV DNA fragment within the VP72 coding genome region. The detection range of the optimized UPL PCR technique was confirmed by analysis of a large panel (n = 46) of ASFV isolates, belonging to 19 of the 22 viral p72 genotypes described. No amplification signal was observed when closely clinically related viruses, such as classical swine fever, or other porcine pathogens were tested by this assay. The detection limit of the UPL PCR method was established below 18 DNA copies. Validation experiments using an extensive collection of field porcine and tick samples (n = 260), coming from Eastern and Western African regions affected by ASF, demonstrated that the UPL PCR technique was able to detect over 10% more positive samples than the real-time TaqMan PCR test recommended in the OIE manual, confirming its superior diagnostic sensitivity. Clinical material collected during experimental infections with different ASFV p72 genotypes was useful for assuring both the capacity of the UPL PCR for an early viral DNA detection and the competence of the technique to be applied in any ASF diagnostic target sample. The reliability and robustness of the UPL PCR was finally verified with a panel of ASFV-infected clinical samples which was repeatedly tested at different times. Additionally, an internal control PCR assay was also developed and standardized using UPL probes within the endogenous β-actin gene. Finally, the complete study offers a new validated real-time PCR technique, by means of a standardized commercial probe, providing a simple, rapid and affordable test, which is ready for application in the routine diagnosis of ASF.

Abstract
Although the diagnosis of membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) may be suspected on routine histology of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue, fresh-frozen tissue must be used to show the immunologic nature of the process by direct immunofluorescence (IF). The efficiency of IF or immunoperoxidase (IP) detection of IgG and C3 using paraffin sections is controversial. This study was designed to evaluate whether glomerular C4d deposition using an IP method in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue may be a useful marker for MGN. We showed characteristic glomerular, granular basement membrane deposition of C4d in 31 (100%) cases of idiopathic MGN and in 5 cases (100%) of pure class V membranous lupus nephritis, in which we had a positive diagnosis of the lesions for conventional IF study. Control cases were negative. Nineteen cases of different glomerulopathies, including IgA nephropathy, primary type I membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and minimal change disease showed diverse reproducible patterns of C4d deposition, without intrinsic background. Our results indicate that staining of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue for C4d can be used for confirmation of granular basement membrane immunoreactant deposition in cases of MGN. This proved to be a reliable method that could potentially obviate the need for rebiopsy in cases with absence of glomeruli in renal frozen sections or when other adjunct IF or IP methods on paraffin sections are negative. C4d immunostaining, using an IP method, deserves a place as an adjunct method in the biopsy diagnosis of MGN.

Abstract
Conversion to mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (mTORi) is an ever more frequent practice in renal transplant recipients, even if it is not always satisfactory, needing to be suspended for various reasons in certain patients. We analyzed the evolution of proteinuria as a marker of kidney damage after withdrawal of mTORi for any reason in order to assess conversion failure risk. Among 1633 renal transplant patients with 185 converted to mTORi, we considered the 52 (28%) who withdrew as result of intolerance or a bad evolution after at least 3 months use (median: 142 days after conversion). Four groups were defined according to the evolution of proteinuria: group 1 (G1), stable after conversion; group 2 (G2), increased with complete recovery (<1 g); group 3 (G3), increased with partial recovery (>1 g); or group 4 (G4), increased without recovery. The evolution according to the groups was: G1 (57.1%), G2 (17.2%), G3 (5.7%), and G4 (20%). There were no differences between the good (G1 and G2) and the bad evolution groups (G3 and G4) in proteinuria at the time of conversion (838 ± 641 vs 532 ± 404 mg/d) or renal function (1.95 ± 0.47 vs 1.90 ± 0.4 mg/dL). Six months after withdrawal, proteinuria was stable in G1 and G2 but worse in G3 and G4 (781 ± 643 vs 4479 ± 3235 mg/d); the same observation was noted for renal failure (2.1 ± 0.71 vs 2.8 ± 1.57 mg/dL). Among about 75% of patients in whom mTORi was withdrawn, no injury remained in the medium term whereas among the other 25%, there was a residual injury.

Abstract
Renal failure persisting after renal transplant is known as delayed graft function (DGF). DGF predisposes the graft to acute rejection and increases the risk of graft loss. In 2010, Irish et al. developed a new model designed to predict DGF risk. This model was used to program a web-based DGF risk calculator, which can be accessed via http://www.transplantcalculator.com . The predictive performance of this score has not been tested in a different population. We analyzed 342 deceased-donor adult renal transplants performed in our hospital. Individual and population DGF risk was assessed using the web-based calculator. The area under the ROC curve to predict DGF was 0.710 (95% CI 0.653-0.767, p < 0.001). The "goodness-of-fit" test demonstrates that the DGF risk was well calibrated (p = 0.309). Graft survival was significantly better for patients with a lower DGF risk (5-year survival 71.1% vs. 60.1%, log rank p = 0.036). The model performed well with good discrimination ability and good calibration to predict DGF in a single transplant center. Using the web-based DGF calculator, we can predict the risk of developing DGF with a moderate to high degree of certainty only by using information available at the time of transplantation.

Exposure to Sarcocystis spp. in horses from Spain determined by Western blot analysis using Sarcocystis neurona merozoites as heterologous antigen. Vet Parasitol 2011; 185:301-4.

Abstract
Horses serve as an intermediate host for several species of Sarcocystis, all of which utilize canids as the definitive host. Sarcocystis spp. infection and formation of latent sarcocysts in horses often appears to be subclinical, but morbidity can occur, especially when the parasite burden is large. A serological survey was conducted to determine the presence of antibodies against Sarcocystis spp. in seemingly healthy horses from the Galicia region of Spain. Western blot analyses using Sarcocystis neurona merozoites as heterologous antigen suggested greater than 80% seroprevalance of Sarcocystis spp. in a sample set of 138 horses. The serum samples were further tested with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) based on recombinant S. neurona-specific surface antigens (rSnSAGs). As expected for horses from the Eastern Hemisphere, less than 4% of the serum samples were positive when analyzed with either the rSnSAG2 or the rSnSAG4/3 ELISAs. An additional 246 horses were tested using the rSnSAG2 ELISA, which revealed that less than 3% of the 384 samples were seropositive. Collectively, the results of this serologic study suggested that a large proportion of horses from this region of Spain are exposed to Sarcocystis spp. Furthermore, the anti-Sarcocystis seroreactivity in these European horses could be clearly distinguished from anti-S. neurona antibodies using the rSnSAG2 and rSnSAG4/3 ELISAs.

Abstract
Magnetic nanofibers of ZnFe(2)O(4) / γ-Fe(2)O(3) composite were synthesized by electrospinning from a sol-gel solution containing a molar ratio Fe/Zn of 3. The effects of the calcination temperature on the phase composition, particle size and magnetic properties have been investigated. Zinc ferrite fibers were obtained by calcinating the electrospun fibers in air from 300 °C to 800 °C and characterized by thermogravimetric analyses, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, vibration sample magnetometry and magnetic force microscopy. The resulting fibers, with diameters ranging from 90 to 150 nm, were ferrimagnetic with high saturation magnetization as compared to bulk. Increasing the calcination temperature resulted in an increase in particle size and saturation magnetization. The observed increase in saturation magnetization was most likely due to the formation and growth of ZnFe(2)O(4) /γ-Fe(2)O(3) diphase crystals. The highest saturation magnetization (45 emu/g) was obtained for fibers calcined at 800 °C.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the CYP27A1 gene resulting in sterol-27-hydroxylase deficiency. Current information about CTX is based mainly on case reports, with only few large series reported. Although perceived as a potentially treatable condition, efficacy of chenodeoxycholic acid plus statin therapy remains unclear. To perform a nationwide survey of confirmed cases, with a thorough analysis of genotype-phenotype data and prognostic factors. METHODS Retrospective review of the clinical and epidemiological aspects and mutations of all the patients diagnosed since 1992 in the main reference centers for genetic testing of CTX in Spain. RESULTS Twenty-five patients from 19 families were identified. An average delay of 19 years was observed between symptom onset and clinical diagnosis. Two main clinical subgroups were recognizable: a classic form (cerebellar and other supratentorial symptoms) and a spinal form (chronic myelopathy). Cholestanol levels did not correlate with clinical presentation, severity or response to therapy. Despite treatment, five patients died during follow-up, one to 4 years after diagnosis. Thirteen different mutations were identified, with a higher frequency of p.R395C in Northwestern Spain and p.R405W in Southern Spain. None of the mutations could be associated with a particular clinical feature combination or prognosis. CONCLUSIONS This is the first nationwide extensive series of CTX reported in Spain. The higher number of cases in some areas suggests a possible founder effect. Spinal forms had a less severe prognosis. A delayed diagnosis could contribute to the lack of significant response to treatment.
