In this paper, we investigated the antifungal efficiency and mechanism of an alkaloid antofine against an IMZ-resistant P. digitatum strain Pdw03. Results showed that antofine exhibited a strong antifungal activity against the mycelial growth of strain Pdw03, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of 1.56 × 10-3 and 1.25 × 10-2 g/L, respectively. In vivo application of antofine effectively delayed the disease progress and reduced the incidence of green mold in citrus fruit. The disease incidence of 10 × MFC antofine-treated fruit after 6 days of storage was only 11% ± 4%, which was significantly lower than that of the control (100% ± 0%). Antofine treatment altered mycelial morphology of strain Pdw03 without affecting the cell wall integrity. Although the ergosterol contents remained stable, a decrease in the total lipid content stant P. check details digitatum strain Pdw03 and significantly decreased green mold incidence in the affected citrus fruits. Antofine induced membrane lipid peroxidation of Pdw03 mycelia, resulting in damage to the cell membrane and impairment of energy metabolism. Antofine is therefore a potential antifungal agent for the control of green mold, which provide theoretical guidance for the food industry. To describe the occurrence of potential statin misuse, its characteristics and associated factors in older people. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in Alsace and Lorraine (France) using French health insurance databases. Study population comprised community-dwelling patients and nursing homes residents aged 80 and over, who received at least one statin prescription between January 1, 2017 to April 30, 2017 (N= 38 268). Potential statin misuse was identified considering off-label uses, high-intensity doses, drug contraindications and statin-drug interactions. At least one potential statin misuse was detected for 19 468 patients (50.9%). Off-label prescription was the most frequent misuse observed (53.6%), followed by high-intensity statin dose (30.5%). Polypharmacy (five to nine drugs) and excessive polypharmacy (10 or more drugs) were the main risk factors associated with potential statin misuse (adjusted OR=2.6 and 4.7 respectively). Nursing home, multi-morbidity and the presence of multiple prescriptions from different doctors for the same patient were other risk factors significantly associated. Two sensitivity analyzes (reconsiderations of off-label and high statin dose definitions) revealed the same statistical trend. Potential statin misuse is frequent in people aged 80 and over. These findings should serve as a warning to health care professionals and hopefully will contribute to ensure an appropriate and safe use of statin in aged population.

To denoise B 1 + phase using a deep learning method for phase-based in vivo electrical conductivity reconstruction in a 3T MR system. For B 1 + phase deep-learning denoising, a convolutional neural network (U-net) was chosen. Training was performed on data sets from 10 healthy volunteers. Input data were the real and imaginary components of single averaged spin-echo data (SNR = 45), which was used to approximate the B 1 + pha
