Structural flexibility of Toscana virus nucleoprotein in the presence of a single-chain camelid antibody

Phenuiviridae nucleoprotein is the main structural and functional component of the viral cycle, protecting the viral RNA and mediating the essential replication/transcription processes. The nucleoprotein (N) binds the RNA using its globular core and polymerizes through the N-terminus, which is presented as a highly flexible arm, as demonstrated in this article. The nucleoprotein exists in an `open' or a `closed' conformation. In the case of the closed conformation the flexible N-terminal arm folds over the RNA-binding cleft, preventing RNA adsorption. In the open conformation the arm is extended in such a way that both RNA adsorption and N polymerization are possible. In this article, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and small-angle X-ray scattering were used to study the N protein of Toscana virus complexed with a single-chain camelid antibody (VHH) and it is shown that in the presence of the antibody the nucleoprotein is unable to achieve a functional assembly to form a ribonucleoprotein complex.

Albania justice reform adoption welcome, says OSCE Presence in Albania

TIRANA, 22 July 2016 – The OSCE Presence in Albania welcomes the Assembly’s adoption today of the set of constitutional amendments aimed at reforming the justice sector. We commend the Assembly for this fundamental achievement, which was supported tangibly by many international experts and diplomats.

It is an important milestone, paving the way for the implementation of a meaningful justice reform. The amendments adopted today must now be cascaded down through the primary and secondary legislation, the procedures and policies of the entire judicial system. Reform is not genuine until it is felt by Albanian citizens in their daily lives, across the country.

The manner in which the reform package is implemented is essential for the sustainability and the success of the reform process. Sustainability and success also depend on a change in attitudes: establishing a culture of responsibility and accountability, countering impunity and consolidating respect for the rule of law at all levels of society. 

The OSCE Presence has been a committed contributor and partner of the reform process so far and stands ready to continue its active support at all levels.

US, Philippines agree to larger American military presence

The United States and the Philippines have announced plans to expand America's military presence in the Southeast Asian nation, with access to four more bases as they seek to deter China’s increasingly aggressive actions toward Taiwan and in the disputed South China Sea. The agreement was reached as Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was in the country for talks about deploying U.S. forces and weapons in more Philippine military camps. In a joint announcement Thursday by the Philippines and the U.S., the two said they had decided to accelerate the full implementation of their so-called Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement, which aims to support combined training, exercises and interoperability.

Comparison of the CYP3A Selective Inhibitors CYP3cide, Clobetasol, and Azamulin for Their Potential to Distinguish CYP3A7 Activity in the Presence of CYP3A4/5 [Articles]

The CYP3A7 enzyme accounts for ~50% of the total cytochrome P450 (P450) content in fetal and neonatal livers and is the predominant P450 involved in neonatal xenobiotic metabolism. Additionally, it is a key player in healthy birth outcomes through the oxidation of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and DHEA-sulfate. The amount of the other hepatic CYP3A isoforms, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5, expressed in neonates is low but highly variable, and therefore the activity of individual CYP3A isoforms is difficult to differentiate due to their functional similarities. Consequently, a better understanding of the contribution of CYP3A7 to drug metabolism is essential to identify the risk that drugs may pose to neonates and developing infants. To distinguish CYP3A7 activity from CYP3A4/5, we sought to further characterize the selectivity of the specific CYP3A inhibitors CYP3cide, clobetasol, and azamulin. We used three substrate probes, dibenzylfluorescein, luciferin-PPXE, and midazolam, to determine the IC50 and metabolism-dependent inhibition (MDI) properties of the CYP3A inhibitors. Probe selection had a significant effect on the IC50 values and P450 inactivation across all inhibitory compounds and enzymes. CYP3cide and azamulin were both identified as MDIs and were most specific for CYP3A4. Contrary to previous reports, we found that clobetasol propionate (CP) was not an MDI of CYP3A5 but was more selective for CYP3A5 over CYP3A4/7. We further investigated CYP3cide and CP’s ability to differentiate CYP3A7 activity in an equal mixture of recombinant CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP3A7, and our results provide confidence of CYP3cide’s and CP’s ability to distinguish CYP3A7 activity in the presence of the other CYP3A isoforms.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT

These findings provide valuable insight regarding in vitro testing conditions to investigate the metabolism of new drug candidates and help determine drug safety in neonates. The results presented here also clearly demonstrate the effect that probe selection may have on CYP3A cytochrome P450 inhibition studies.

Family Medicine Presence on Labor and Delivery: Effect on Safety Culture and Cesarean Delivery [Original Research]

PURPOSE

Currently, 40% of counties in the United States do not have an obstetrician or midwife, and in rural areas the likelihood of childbirth being attended to by a family medicine (FM) physician is increasing. We sought to characterize the effect of the FM presence on unit culture and a key perinatal quality metric in Iowa hospital intrapartum units.

METHODS

Using a cross-sectional design, we surveyed Iowa physicians, nurses, and midwives delivering intrapartum care at hospitals participating in a quality improvement initiative to decrease the incidence of cesarean delivery. We linked respondents with their hospital characteristics and outcomes data. The primary outcome was the association between FM physician, obstetrician (OB), or both disciplines’ presence on labor and delivery and hospital low-risk, primary cesarean delivery rate. Unit culture was compared by hospital type (FM-only, OB-only, or Both).

RESULTS

A total of 849 clinicians from 39 hospitals completed the survey; 13 FM-only, 11 OB-only, and 15 hospitals with both. FM-only hospitals were all rural, with <1,000 annual births. Among hospitals with <1,000 annual births, births at FM-only hospitals had an adjusted 34.3% lower risk of cesarean delivery (adjusted incident rate ratio = 0.66; 95% CI, 0.52-.0.98) compared with hospitals with both. Nurses endorsed unit norms more supportive of vaginal birth and stronger safety culture at FM-only hospitals (P <.05).

CONCLUSIONS

Birthing hospitals staffed exclusively by FM physicians were more likely to have lower cesarean rates and stronger nursing-rated safety culture. Both access and quality of care provide strong arguments for reinforcing the pipeline of FM physicians training in intrapartum care.
