Structure of M from COVID-19 virus and discovery of its inhibitors.
A new coronavirus (CoV) identified as COVID-19 virus is the etiological agent responsible for the 2019-2020 viral pneumonia outbreak that commenced in Wuhan. Currently there are no targeted therapeutics and effective treatment options remain very limited. In order to rapidly discover lead compounds for clinical use, we initiated a program of combined structure-assisted drug design, virtual drug screening and high-throughput screening to identify new drug leads that target the COVID-19 virus main protease (M). M is a key CoV enzyme, which plays a pivotal role in mediating viral replication and transcription, making it an attractive drug target for this virus. Here, we identified a mechanism-based inhibitor, N3, by computer-aided drug design and subsequently determined the crystal structure of COVID-19 virus M in complex with this compound. Next, through a combination of structure-based virtual and high-throughput screening, we assayed over 10,000 compounds including approved drugs, drug candidates in clinical trials, and other pharmacologically active compounds as inhibitors of M. Six of these compounds inhibited M with IC values ranging from 0.67 to 21.4 μM. Ebselen also exhibited promising antiviral activity in cell-based assays. Our results demonstrate the efficacy of this screening strategy, which can lead to the rapid discovery of drug leads with clinical potential in response to new infectious diseases for which no specific drugs or vaccines are available.Zhenming Jin, Xiaoyu Du, Yechun Xu, Yongqiang Deng, Meiqin Liu, Yao Zhao, Bing Zhang, Xiaofeng Li, Leike Zhang, Chao Peng, Yinkai Duan, Jing Yu, Lin Wang, Kailin Yang, Fengjiang Liu, Rendi Jiang, Xinglou Yang, Tian You, Xiaoce Liu, Xiuna Yang, Fang Bai, Hong Liu, Xiang Liu, Luke W Guddat, Wenqing Xu, Gengfu Xiao, Chengfeng Qin, Zhengli Shi, Hualiang Jiang, Zihe Rao, Haitao Yang

Effectiveness of Energy Conservation Techniques in Patients with COPD.
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) might suffer from severe dyspnea, which importantly impacts on the performance of activities of daily living (ADL). Patient training of energy conservation techniques (ECTs) might be useful to improve the tolerance and execution of these ADL, but objective studies evaluating the effect of teaching ECTs on the metabolic equivalent of task (MET) in patients with COPD are sparse.Ann Sylvia Louise Wingårdh, Carina Göransson, Sven Larsson, Frode Slinde, Lowie E G W Vanfleteren

Transposable DNA Elements in Amazonian Fish: From Genome Enlargement to Genetic Adaptation to Stressful Environments.
Transposable elements have driven genome evolution and plasticity in many ways across a range of organisms. Different types of biotic and abiotic stresses can stimulate the expression or transposition of these mobile elements. Here, we cytogenetically analyzed natural fish populations of the same species living under different environmental conditions to test the influence and organization of transposable elements in their genome. Differential behavior was observed for the markers Rex 1, Rex 3, and Rex 6 in the chromosomes of individuals of the same species but coming from different environments (polluted and unpolluted). An increase in the number of Rex transposable elements in the chromosomes and their influence on the genome of populations living in a polluted environment indicates that they must be under constant adaptive evolution.Francijara A da Silva, Erika M Corrêa Guimarães, Natália D M Carvalho, Alex M V Ferreira, Carlos H Schneider, Gislene A Carvalho-Zilse, Eliana Feldberg, Maria C Gross

Single-channel oximetry monitor versus in-lab polysomnography oximetry analysis: does it make a difference?
Portable oximetry has been shown to be a promising candidate for large-scale obstructive sleep apnea screening. In polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard OSA diagnosis test, the oxygen desaturation index (ODI) is usually computed from desaturation events occurring during sleep periods only, i.e., overnight desaturations occurring during or overlapping with a wake state are excluded. However, for unattended home oximetry, all desaturations are taken into account since no reference electroencephalogram is available for sleep staging. We aim to evaluate the hypothesis that the predictive power of oximetry for OSA screening is not impaired when reference sleep stages are not available.Joachim Behar, Niclas Palmius, Sroussi Zacharie, Armand Chocron, Thomas Penzel, Lia Bittencourt, Sergio Tufik
