Study on the relationship between microbial composition within obstructive biliary stents and the severity of obstruction and duration of stent placement. by Ichiro Sugawara, Yosuke Kawahara, Lena Takayasu, Kimio Isshi, Masayuki Kato, Shingo Ono, Yuko Hara, Toshiki Futakuchi, Hiroto Furuhashi, Rina Kurokawa, Kazuki Sumiyama, Wataru Suda

“…An abundance of Bifidobacterium spp. and OTU00006 Bifidobacterium animalis (100%) correlated with stent occlusion severity (rho, 0.62; p<0.001; and 0.42; p = 0.03, respectively), and this relationship remained after adjusting for the duration of stent placement (p = 0.03 and 0.05, respectively). The genus Bifidobacterium and Bifidobacterium animalis were associated with the degree of occlusion in plastic biliary stents.…”

Extensive Differences in Antifungal Immune Response in Two Drosophila Species Revealed by Comparative Transcriptome Analysis by Yosuke Seto, Koichiro Tamura

“…In this study, it is shown that D. virilis has a higher resistance to oral infection of a species of filamentous fungi belonging to the genus Penicillium compared to D. melanogaster. In response to the fungal infection, a transcriptome profile of immune-related genes was considerably different between D. melanogaster and D. virilis: the genes encoding antifungal peptides, Drosomycin and Metchnikowin, were highly expressed in D. melanogaster whereas, the genes encoding Diptericin and Defensin were highly expressed in D. virilis. …”
