Abstract
The extremely important role of the microbiome for human life and health has long been known. Many studies around the world are devoted to studying the mechanisms of action and functions of various bacteria that are permanent residents of our body. Connections between the bacteria of our microbiome and all organs and systems of the human body (intestine, brain, nervous and cardiovascular systems) have been identified. However, the effect of bacteria can be positive or negative, which affects the emergence and development of diseases or promotes healing. Genus Lactobacillus is one of the most numerous populations of bacteria in the human body. Moreover, they have a significant positive effect on health. Scientists are actively researching methods of cultivating and using bacteria of this genus in the pharmaceutical and industrial fields. Most probiotics contain lactobacilli strains. Therefore, the study of methods of cultivation and storage of lactobacilli in order to find ways to improve their viability and functionality and, at the same time, the invention of options to protect cell culture from various harmful factors is extremely important. In our review, we considered the importance of the microbiome for human health and the role of bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus as its component. Scientific works on studying the mechanisms of influence of lactobacilli on the functional capacity of human organs and systems have been studied. Much of the review is devoted to the study of lactobacilli cultivation methods, the diversity of culture media, and the importance of their components to improve the viability of lactobacilli culture because they are quite demanding and vulnerable. Attention is also paid to the development of methods of storage of grown cultures of bacterial cells and their improvement in order to obtain functional and suitable for further use in the pharmacological and industrial areas of bacterial strains.

Therapy-related transcriptional subtypes in matched primary and recurrent head and neck cancer. Clin Cancer Res 2021; 28:1038-1052. [PMID: 34965946 DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-21-2244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2021] [Revised: 11/01/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The genetic relatedness between primary and recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) reflects the extent of heterogeneity and therapy-driven selection of tumor subpopulations. Yet, current treatment of recurrent HNSCC ignores the molecular characteristics of therapy-resistant tumor populations. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN From 150 tumors, 74 primary HNSCCs were RNA-sequenced and 38 matched primary/recurrent tumor pairs were both, whole-exome and RNA-sequenced. Transcriptome analysis determined the predominant classical (CL), basal (BA) and inflamed-mesenchymal (IMS) transcriptional subtypes according to an established classification. Genomic alterations and clonal compositions of tumors were evaluated from whole-exome data. RESULTS While CL and IMS subtypes were more common in primary HNSCC with low recurrence rates, the BA subtype was more prevalent and stable in recurrent tumors. The BA subtype was associated with a transcriptional signature of partial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (p-emt) and early recurrence. In 44% of matched cases, the dominant subtype changed from primary to recurrent tumors, preferably from IMS to BA or CL. Gene set enrichment analysis identified upregulation of Hypoxia, p-emt and radiation resistance signatures and downregulation of tumor inflammation in recurrences compared to index tumors. A relevant subset of primary/recurrent tumor pairs presented no evidence for a common clonal origin. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed a high degree of genetic and transcriptional heterogeneity between primary/recurrent tumors, suggesting therapy-related selection of a transcriptional subtype with characteristics unfavorable for therapy. We conclude that therapy decisions should be based on genetic and transcriptional characteristics of recurrences rather than primary tumors to enable optimally tailored treatment strategies.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate how sustainable practices in supply chains are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic through the lens of institutional theory.
Design/methodology/approach
This research applies a twofold data collection approach: 1) qualitative semistructured interviews and 2) secondary data collection that includes sustainability reports, newspaper articles, journal articles, strategic plans, research reports and statements made by authorities and stakeholders concerning decision-making. In total, managers representing six companies in Norway were interviewed.
Findings
The study suggests that during the COVID-19 pandemic, companies tend to focus on short-term decisions and economic issues. The long-term focus on sustainability has, however, increased at the cluster level. The research also indicates that the pandemic has led to the development of new business routines that may transform institutional norms. The diversity of institutional contexts can, on the one hand, drive sustainability transitions through pressures and supportive programs but, on the other hand, also hinder the development of sustainability thinking.
Research limitations/implications
Institutional factors must be included when analyzing the effects of crises and sustainable transitions. Researchers are encouraged to explore the COVID-19 implications in the form of longitudinal studies.
Practical implications
Policymakers can benefit from in-depth knowledge on the adverse effects of an institutional environment on sustainability. For managers, the outbreak of the pandemic can afford them additional time to revise their strategies and seek innovation. The pandemic highlights the need to build more resilient and sustainable systems that will aid managers in responding rapidly during future uncertainties and enduring sustainability trajectories in operations.
Originality/value
The paper offers an in-depth investigation of COVID-19 effects on the sustainability of supply chains by drawing on institutional theory.

MRI-based delta-radiomics predicts pathologic complete response in high-grade soft-tissue sarcoma patients treated with neoadjuvant therapy. Radiother Oncol 2021; 164:73-82. [PMID: 34506832 DOI: 10.1016/j.radonc.2021.08.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Revised: 08/15/2021] [Accepted: 08/27/2021] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE In high-grade soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) the standard of care encompasses multimodal therapy regimens. While there is a growing body of evidence for prognostic pretreatment radiomic models, we hypothesized that temporal changes in radiomic features following neoadjuvant treatment ("delta-radiomics") may be able to predict the pathological complete response (pCR). METHODS MRI scans (T1-weighted with fat-saturation and contrast-enhancement (T1FSGd) and T2-weighted with fat-saturation (T2FS)) of patients with STS of the extremities and trunk treated with neoadjuvant therapy were gathered from two independent institutions (training: 103, external testing: 53 patients). pCR was defined as <5% viable cells. After segmentation and preprocessing, 105 radiomic features were extracted. Delta-radiomic features were calculated by subtraction of features derived from MRI scans obtained before and after neoadjuvant therapy. After feature reduction, machine learning modeling was performed in 100 iterations of 3-fold nested cross-validation. Delta-radiomic models were compared with single timepoint models in the testing cohort. RESULTS The combined delta-radiomic models achieved the best area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.75. Pre-therapeutic tumor volume was the best conventional predictor (AUC 0.70). The T2FS-based delta-radiomic model had the most balanced classification performance with a balanced accuracy of 0.69. Delta-radiomic models achieved better reproducibility than single timepoint radiomic models, RECIST or the peri-therapeutic volume change. Delta-radiomic models were significantly associated with survival in multivariate Cox regression. CONCLUSION This exploratory analysis demonstrated that MRI-based delta-radiomics improves prediction of pCR over tumor volume and RECIST. Delta-radiomics may one day function as a biomarker for personalized treatment adaptations.

Radiooncological View on Therapy Outcome after Multidisciplinary Treatment of Sinonasal Tumors. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13102364. [PMID: 34068905 PMCID: PMC8157068 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13102364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 04/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus are rare. Most are discovered at a locally advanced stage and require multimodal treatment consisting of surgery and radiotherapy with concomitant chemotherapy. Tumor localization between the eyes and near the brain makes treatment planning difficult due to the necessary consideration of both critical normal tissue with high protection priority and the curative aim of the best radiotherapy dose deposit. Thus, it is noteworthy how tumor volumes impact the five-year survival outcome. Therefore, we investigated initial tumor volumes before any therapy. Patients with larger mean initial tumor volumes of more than 75 cm3 had worse outcomes. There was no additional benefit of upfront surgery. Especially for patients with large tumor burdens of the nasal cavity or paranasal sinus, an interdisciplinary case discussion with the patient is essential in the process of shared decision-making. Abstract Purpose: We report the outcome of a mono-institutional retrospective study of sinonasal carcinoma with the primary focus on GTV (gross tumor volume) and the effect of radiotherapy. Methods: 53 patients with sinonasal carcinoma and that of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinus or both except lymphoma were included. All patients were treated between 1999 and 2017. For tumor volume delineation, all pre-therapeutic images were fused to the planning CT (computed tomography). Results: The median follow-up was 17 months [0.3–60], the median age 60 years, 35 males and 18 females were included. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (60.4%) was the predominant histology, followed by adenocarcinoma (15.1%). The mean composite OS (overall survival) time was 33.3 ± 3.5 months. There was no significant difference in the 5 y composite OS between tumor localization or radiotherapy setting. The simultaneous integrated boost concept showed a trend towards improving five-year composite OS compared to the sequential boost concept. The only factor with a significant impact on the 5 y composite OS rate was the pre-therapeutic GTV (cutoff 75 cm3; p = 0.033). The GTV ≥ 100 cm3 has no effect on the 5 y composite OS rate for SCC. Conclusions: The pre-therapeutic GTV is a prognostic factor for five-year composite OS for the entire group of patients with sinonasal tumors, influencing the outcome after completion of all treatment strategies. The GTV seems to not influence five-year composite OS in SCC. For this rare tumor entity, an intensive, multidisciplinary discussion is essential to finding the best treatment option for the patient.

Prognostic Assessment in High-Grade Soft-Tissue Sarcoma Patients: A Comparison of Semantic Image Analysis and Radiomics. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:1929. [PMID: 33923697 PMCID: PMC8073388 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13081929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2021] [Revised: 04/13/2021] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with soft-tissue sarcomas of the extremities, the treatment decision is currently regularly based on tumor grading and size. The imaging-based analysis may pose an alternative way to stratify patients' risk. In this work, we compared the value of MRI-based radiomics with expert-derived semantic imaging features for the prediction of overall survival (OS). METHODS Fat-saturated T2-weighted sequences (T2FS) and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted fat-saturated (T1FSGd) sequences were collected from two independent retrospective cohorts (training: 108 patients; testing: 71 patients). After preprocessing, 105 radiomic features were extracted. Semantic imaging features were determined by three independent radiologists. Three machine learning techniques (elastic net regression (ENR), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, and random survival forest) were compared to predict OS. RESULTS ENR models achieved the best predictive performance. Histologies and clinical staging differed significantly between both cohorts. The semantic prognostic model achieved a predictive performance with a C-index of 0.58 within the test set. This was worse compared to a clinical staging system (C-index: 0.61) and the radiomic models (C-indices: T1FSGd: 0.64, T2FS: 0.63). Both radiomic models achieved significant patient stratification. CONCLUSIONS T2FS and T1FSGd-based radiomic models outperformed semantic imaging features for prognostic assessment.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to correlate the content of cells with regulatory molecules associated with angiogenesis in wound healing in a rat model of hyperglycemia. We hypothesize that blood neutrophils are the main VEGF source and can stimulate FLT-1 receptor expression, which is the perquisite for efficient neoangiogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Kinetic studies of the healing dynamics (3, 7, 14, 21 days) of burn wounds on the skin were conducted in white adult male rats. The content of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), its receptor (Flt-1) in the regenerated tissue was analyzed by western blot. Numbers of cells associated with the regenerative process and from peripheral blood (PB) were determined. Additionally a bone marrow (BM) myelogram was conducted. RESULTS The relative number of peripheral blood (PB) neutrophils was found to be associated with the level of VEGF (R = 0.708) and Flt-1 (R = 0.472). The relative number of fibroblasts was also associated with VEGF (R = 0.562), but not with Flt-1. A negative association was found between the number of neutrophils in the regenerated tissue with VEGF (R = -0.454) and FLT-1 (R = -0.665). This confirms our hypothesis, that blood neutrophils are the main VEGF producer that stimulate the expression of the FLT-1 receptor subsequently inducing neoangiogenesis.Furthermore, that under hyperglycemic conditions fibroblasts were highly associated with VEGF (R = 0.800), while negatively associated with FLT-1 (R = -0.506). There was a high association between PB neutrophils and newly generated tissue cells: neutrophils (R = 0.717) and macrophages (R = 0.622), as well as the association between neutrophils and macrophages (R = 0.798). This is an indication of chronic inflammation and increased transmigration of blood cells to the burned tissue. CONCLUSION Blood neutrophils are the main producer of VEGF and stimulate the expression of the FLT-1 receptor. In the context of hyperglycemia the imbalance of receptor and ligand associated with angiogenesis indicates for chronic inflammation: VEGF and FLT-1, which facilitates hypoxia, prevents the physiological course of burn wound healing and may be important factors in impaired tissue regeneration in diabetes.

Abstract
The article is focused on studying social and economic conditions affecting the choice of the type of health insurance. The objective of the article is to justify the type of medical insurance as the method of social protection of citizens in Ukraine, where the access of the population to medical care is the key condition. The methodology of this study includes traditional and special methods of scientific cognition: synthesis, analysis, induction, deduction, generalization, proving, structural and functional, formal and legal, comparative, theoretical and prognostic. Analysis of the competitive environment at the market of medical services in the countries with developed market economies and in Ukraine demonstrates that business competition at this market, in general, has its own characteristics, which can negatively affect the quality of medical care. Assessing medical services by price and non-price criteria within a competitive environment, the authors of the article make actual the issue of fair access to medical care. The level of socio-economic development and constitutional restrictions on the transformation of medicine in Ukraine induce the feasibility of implementing health insurance in the form of compulsory state social medical insurance.

Abstract
Nanosecond-duration laser pulses are exploited in a plethora of therapeutic and diagnostic applications, such as optoacoustic imaging. However, phototoxicity effects of pulsed radiation in living cells, in particular those expressing genetic reporters, are not well understood. We established a three-dimensional fluorescent protein expressing cellular model in order to reliably investigate the extent and major exposure parameters responsible for both photobleaching and phototoxicity under pulsed laser exposure, unveiling a variety of possible effects on living cells, from reversible photobleaching to cytotoxicity and cell death. Significant losses of fluorescence levels were identified when exposing the cells to illumination conditions considered safe under common standards for skin exposure in diagnostic imaging applications. Thus, the use of photolabile fluorescent proteins and their in vivo exposure parameters have to be designed carefully for all applications using pulsed nanosecond radiation. In particular, loss of signal due to bleaching may significantly alter signals in longitudinal measurements, making data quantification challenging.

Abstract
Germline mutations of the retinoblastoma gene (RB1) predispose to both sporadic and radiation-induced osteosarcoma, tumors characterized by high levels of genomic instability, and activation of alternative lengthening of telomeres. Mice with haploinsufficiency of the Rb1 gene in the osteoblastic lineage reiterate the radiation susceptibility to osteosarcoma seen in patients with germline RB1 mutations. We show that the susceptibility is accompanied by an increase in genomic instability, resulting from Rb1-dependent telomere erosion. Radiation exposure did not accelerate the rate of telomere loss but amplified the genomic instability resulting from the dysfunctional telomeres. These findings suggest that telomere maintenance is a noncanonical caretaker function of the retinoblastoma protein, such that its deficiency in cancer may potentiate DNA damage-induced carcinogenesis by promoting formation of chromosomal aberrations, rather than simply by affecting cell-cycle control.

Are mouse lens epithelial cells more sensitive to γ-irradiation than lymphocytes? RADIATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL BIOPHYSICS 2013; 52:279-286.

Abstract
In this pilot study we compared for the first time the radiation sensitivity of mouse lens epithelial cells (LECs) and mouse lymphocytes. We freshly prepared LECs and lymphocytes and irradiated them with γ-rays ((137)Cs; doses ranging from 0.25 to 2 Gy). DNA damage and repair were evaluated by alkaline comet assay and γH2AX foci assay. Using the comet assay, we observed a dose-dependent increase in DNA damage in both cell types. The faster formation of single- and double-strand breaks in LECs of C57BL/6 mice at doses below 1 Gy needs to be confirmed in other mouse strains. Immunofluorescence for γH2AX foci showed a higher degree of lesions in LECs from C57BL/6J mice compared to those of JF1 mice and to lymphocytes of both strains. Correspondingly, repair of DNA damage proceeded faster in LECs of C57BL/6J mice compared to LECs of JF1 mice and lymphocytes of both strains. It is obvious that the lymphocytes of both strains repaired DNA lesions more slowly than the corresponding LECs. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that LECs of C57Bl/6 mice show a steeper dose-response than lymphocytes in both types of experiments. It shows that both test systems are able to be used also at doses below 0.25 Gy. The observed difference in DNA repair between the LECs from C57BL/6J mice compared to the LECs from JF1 mice and to the lymphocytes of both strains warrants further experiments to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms.
