Summary: This protocol is the result of the combination of various nuclei isolation protocols for single cell RNA-seq experiments using droplet-based methods, and is an extension of the Frankenstein (S.O.F means Son Of Frankenstein). Developed to prepare nuclei isolates from fresh and frozen material of small-to-large sizes. The good thing is that it does not uses FACS but OptiPrep® discontinuous gradient to remove debris. It is the alternative protocol when FACS is not available.

Summary: In situ sequencing method for parallel targeted analysis of short RNA fragments in morphologically preserved tissue. This protocol can be used to detect RNA molecules at the single cell level to aid in the identification of cell types according to their gene expression. The technique uses padlock probes to target desired genes of interest and rolling circle amplification to amplify signal for a high throughput methodolgy of spatial transcriptomics. With the use of barcode sequencing, identification of numerous genes is possible through multiplexing.Version 2 Update: Only minor mistakes were corrected for version 2 of this protocol, no major changes to protocol were done. Some references were also updated.

Summary: Purpose:Time-to-event data of hazard ratios were used to generate a forest plot of all-cause mortality on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in both overall and individual indications of cardiopulmonary disease in adults.Materials and Methods:A systemic search was conducted in PubMed from 1975 to 2018. Among 4,121 articles, a total of 34 clinical reports comprising 20,610patients (1,631 of the patients who underwent ECMO and 18,979 of the patients who did not undergo ECMO) met the inclusion criteria.Results:The pooled hazard ratio of 1.2828 (95% confidence interval: 0.9649, 1.7054) suggests that the ECMO group was not significantly associated with a reduction in mortality compared with the no-ECMO group in the overall ECMO indications. The results of subgroup analyses showed a significantly improved patient survival in respiratory failure with 0.6308 (0.5037, 0.7900), and a worse patient survival after lung transplantation with 2.0600 (1.6987, 2.4981), in bridging to heart transplantation with 1.4212 (1.0309, 1.9592), and after heart transplantation with 5.6365 (1.7569, 18.0827).Conclusions:Most of the included studies are retrospective, which diminishes the significance of the findings due to a higher risk of selection bias, which was exemplified by the allocation of ECMO based on the patients’ severity condition.

Summary: Despite many computational tools were developed to predict circular RNAs (circRNAs), a limited number of work-flows exists to fully analyse a circRNA set ensuring the computational reproducibility of the whole analysis.For this purpose, we designed Docker4Circ, a computational work-flow for a comprehensive circRNAs analysis of a circRNAs composed of four modules: the circRNAs prediction (module 1), the circRNAs classification and annotation (module 2), the circRNAs sequence analysis (module 3), and circRNAs expression analysis (module 4).To ensure reproducibility each function of Docker4Circ was embeded into a docker image following guideline provided by Reproducible Bioinformatics Project (RBP, http://reproducible-bioinformatics.org/). Each function is included in the Docker4Seq R package which already includes different solutions for reproducible bioinformatic analyses.This protocol describes the use of each function of Docker4Circ to analyse the circRNAs predicted from a set of RNA-Seq experiments performed in normal colon and colorectal cancer cell lines. Furthermore, the description of the functions required to compute the expression level of the analysed circRNAs in a set of RNA-Seq experiments of colorectal primary tumors is provided.

Summary: On a high speed slaughter line for pigs, skin scratches were separately scored in the posterior region (defined as the area including the hind legs and the tail) and the anterior one (as the remaining area), while the whole carcass was examined for external hematomas. Chronic ear and tail lesions referable to the rearing phase, and bursitis were recorded as retrospective welfare indicators.

Summary: 3, 3´ Diaminobenzidine (DAB) is a commonly used chromogen for histological staining. In the presence of peroxidase enzyme, DAB produces a brown precipitate that is insoluble in alcohol and xylene. Peroxidase catalyzes hydrogen peroxide oxidation of substrate DAB. This SOP provides instructions to prepare four different formulations of DAB. DAB for Immunohistochemical staining (IHC), DAB for Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) Staining, Nickel Enchanced DAB for Biocytin staining, and DAB for Biocytin staining.

Summary: Interleukins (IL) are a type of cytokine first thought to be expressed by leukocytes alone but have later been found to be produced by many other body cells. They play essential roles in the activation and differentiation of immune cells, as well as proliferation, maturation, migration, and adhesion. They also have pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory properties. The primary function of interleukins is, therefore, to modulate growth, differentiation, and activation during inflammatory and immune responses. Interleukins consist of a large group of proteins that can elicit many reactions in cells and tissues by binding to high-affinity receptors in cell surfaces. IL-29 is a type-3 interferon and produced by virus-infected cells, dendritic cells, and regulatory T-cells. It upregulates viral protective responses. Virus-infected cells may regulate IL-29 genome.

Summary: AbstractLittle is known about the diversity and function of adipose tissue nerves due, in part, to the inability to effectively visualize the various nerve subtypes residing within these tissues. The tools currently available for researchers to image and quantify adipose tissue innervation are limited and dependent on optical clearing techniques and light sheet microscopy. Here we present a method of tissue processing that uses a method of mechanically compressing tissue to decrease tissue thickness in the z-axis by expanding it in the x and y-axes whilst leaving cells intact. This has been combined with autofluorescence quenching techniques to permit imaging of intact whole tissues on both widefield and confocal microscopes and a complementary means to perform whole tissue neurite density quantification. We have included examples of how this technique can be used to further our current knowledge of adipose-nerve communication by characterizing the nerves, nerve-subtypes, and neurovascular interactions within the inguinal subcutaneous white adipose tissue in mice.

Summary: This protocol is a continuation of the previous protocol (dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.m4yc8xw) for viral metagenomic researches with the tissues of Molluscs, such as abalone, oyster, clam, scallop and so on. This maybe also applicable for other animals, such as shrimp and fish, based on the principle of the protocol. But we havn't verified this idea yet.
