Abstract:
ABSTRACT The emetic responses induced by staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA), SEB, SEC2, SED, SEE, SEG, SEH, and SEI in the house musk shrew (Suncus murinus) were investigated. SEA, SEE, and SEI showed higher emetic activity in the house musk shrew than the other SEs. SEB, SEC2, SED, SEG, and SEH also induced emetic responses in this animal model but relatively high doses were required. The house musk shrew appears to be a valuable model for studying the mechanisms of emetic reactions caused by SEs.

Abstract:
Abstract Background: Staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) frequently causes illnesses worldwide. SFP occurs from the ingestion of staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) preformed in foods by enterotoxigenic strains of Staphylococcus species, primarily S. aureus. SEG, SEH, and SEI induce emesis and have been implicated in outbreaks. Immunological-based methods are deemed the most practical methods for the routine analysis of SEs in foods given their ease of use, sensitivity, specificity, and commercial availability. These kits are routinely used to test for SEA-SEE. However, only recently has a kit been developed to detect SEG, SEH, and SEI. Objective: Our research examined the performance of the novel VIDAS® Staph Enterotoxin III (SET3) for the detection of staphylococcal enterotoxins SEG, SEH, and SEI in foods. Methods: Here we assess the sensitivity and specificity of SET3 using duplicate test portions of six foods at varying concentrations of inclusivity and exclusivity inocula: pure SEG, SEH, SEI, S. aureus strain extracts positive for seg, seh, and sei, as well as SEA, SEB, SEC, SED, and SEE. Results: The overall detection limit was less than 2.09 ng/mL for foods inoculated with SEG, SEH, and SEI, with no cross reactivity observed. Highlights: Integrating concurrent testing to detect the presence of SEA–SEE and SEG–SEI utilizing the SET3 along with the VIDAS SET2, Ridascreen® SET total, or other comparable kits will be instrumental for the future food assessments in our laboratory and may become the new standard for SE analysis of foods.

Abstract:
Staphylococcal enterotoxins are the leading cause of human food poisoning worldwide. Staphylococcus spp. are the main mastitis-causing agents in goats and frequently found in high counts in goat milk. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of enterotoxin-encoding genes in Staphylococcus aureus associated with mastitis in lactating goats in Paraiba State, Brazil. Milk samples (n=2024) were collected from 393 farms. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated in 55 milk samples. Classical (sea, seb, sec, sed, see) and novel (seg, seh, sei) enterotoxin-encoding genes were investigated by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). From thirty-six tested isolates, enterotoxin-encoding genes were detected in 7 (19.5%) S. aureus. The gene encoding enterotoxin C (seC) was identified in six isolates, while seiwas observed in only one isolate. The genes sea, seb, sed, see, seg and seh were not observed amongst the S. aureus investigated in this study. In summary, S. aureus causing mastitis in goats can harbor enterotoxin-encoding genes and seC was the most frequent gene observed amongst the investigated isolates. This finding is important for surveillance purposes, since enterotoxin C should be investigated in human staphylococcal food poisoning outbreaks caused by consumption of goat milk and dairy products.

Abstract:
A simple polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based procedure was developed for the detection of fragments of staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) SEA, SEB, SEC, SED, SEE, SEG, SEH, and SEI together with the toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST-1) genes of Staphylococcus aureus. One hundred and twenty-nine cultures of S. aureus were selected, 39 of which were recovered from 38 suspected staphylococcal food-poisoning incidents. The method was reproducible, and 32 different toxin genotypes were recognized. The presence of SE genes was associated with S. aureus strains reacting with phages in group III, and the TSST-1 gene with phages in group I. There was a 96% agreement between the PCR results for detection of SEA–D and TSST-1 as compared with a commercial reverse passive latex agglutination assay for the detection of SEs from cultures grown in vitro. Enterotoxin gene fragments were detected in S. aureus cultures recovered from 32 of the 38 suspected staphylococcal food poisoning incidents, and of these, 17 were associated with SEE, SEG, SEH, and SEI in the absence of SEA–D. Simple PCR procedures were also developed for the detection of SE directly in spiked food samples, and this was most successfully achieved in mushroom soup and ham. Detection was less successful in three types of cheese and in cream. SEA or SEB were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in three food samples (two of which were associated with food poisoning incidents) naturally heavily contaminated with S. aureus: the appropriate SEA or SEB gene fragments were detected directly in these three foods by PCR.

Abstract:
Staphylococcus aureus secreted many types of toxins accompanying Intestinal poisoning resulting from eating food contaminated with bacteria or their toxins. Five hundred meat samples were collected from local markets, including fresh, frozen, canned, sausage and hamburger to investigate their contamination with S.aureus and then determined their ability of these isolates to secrete enterotoxins by using polymerase chain reaction. The results showed that the ratio of isolated S.aureus is 30 (6%) and the percentage of encoding genes for toxins is 30(100%), 0(0%), 3(10), 0(0%),0(0%),3(10), 2(6.7), 1(3.3), 0(0%) and 3(10) to sea, seb, sec, sed, see, seg, see, sei, sej and sel respectively.The result shows the S.aureus isolated from contamination meat able to produce different type to enterotoxins sea, sec, seg, see, sei, and sel and present the sea toxin is the most prevalence type of staphylococcus enterotoxins.

Abstract:
A rather fast and complicated progression of an infection caused by some strains of Staphylococcus aureus could be associated with the expression and co-action of virulence factor complexes in these strains. This study screened the antibiotic susceptibility and prevalence of virulence markers in isolates of meticillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) obtained from patients hospitalized at the University Hospital in Olomouc, Czech Republic. A total of 100 isolates was screened for 13 genes encoding extracellular virulence determinants (tst, pvl, eta, etb, sea, seb, sec, sed, see, seg, seh, sei and sej) and for their distribution in sample types. Eighty-nine isolates were positive for at least one of the genes. Genes for etb, pvl, see and seh were not detected in any of the MRSA isolates. No statistically significant differences in the occurrence of the determinants studied among sample types were found.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Staphylococcal enterotoxins are exotoxins produced byStaphylococcus aureus that possess emetic and superantigenic properties. Prior to this research there were six characterized enterotoxins, staphylococcal enterotoxin types A to E and H (referred to as SEA to SEE and SEH). Two new staphylococcal enterotoxin genes have been identified and designated segand sei (staphylococcal enterotoxin types G and I, respectively). seg and sei consist of 777 and 729 nucleotides, respectively, encoding precursor proteins of 258 (SEG) and 242 (SEI) deduced amino acids. SEG and SEI have typical bacterial signal sequences that are cleaved to form toxins with 233 (SEG) and 218 (SEI, predicted) amino acids, corresponding to mature proteins of 27,043 Da (SEG) and 24,928 Da (SEI). Biological activities for SEG and SEI were determined with recombinant S. aureus strains. SEG and SEI elicited emetic responses in rhesus monkeys upon nasogastric administration and stimulated murine T-cell proliferation with the concomitant production of interleukin 2 (IL-2) and gamma interferon (IFN-γ), as measured by cytokine enzyme-linked immunoassays. SEG and SEI are related to other enterotoxins of S. aureus and to streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin A (SpeA) and streptococcal superantigen (SSA) of Streptococcus pyogenes. Phylogenetic analysis and comparisons of amino acid and nucleotide sequence identities were performed on related staphylococcal and streptococcal protein toxins to group SEG and SEI among the characterized toxins. SEG is most similar to SpeA, SEB, SEC, and SSA (38 to 42% amino acid identity), while SEI is most similar to SEA, SEE, and SED (26 to 28% amino acid identity). Polyclonal antiserum was generated against purified histidine-tagged SEG and SEI (HisSEG and HisSEI). Immunoblot analysis of the enterotoxins, toxic-shock syndrome toxin 1, and SpeA with antiserum prepared against HisSEG and HisSEI revealed that SEG shares some epitopes with SEC1 while SEI does not.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: This paper investigated the occurrence of Staphylococcus aureus and the detection of enterotoxin-encoding genes of these strains in milk collected from 30 Murrah buffaloes used to produce dairy products in Brazil. A total of 68 strains of Staphylococcus aureus were found as identified by conventional laboratory tests, and thus screened for sea, seb, sec, sed, see, seg, seh and sei enterotoxin-encoding genes by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Twelve strains containing enterotoxin-amplified genes were found, with higher expression for the sei and seh genes. These results can be attributed to animal health and inadequate cleaning of the equipment, indicating the need for better quality control in animal production and health lines. The results of this study with the presence of pathogens and their enterotoxigenic potential indicate a source of food poisoning, as well as being a pioneering study in the detection of new enterotoxins for buffalo milk.

Abstract:
Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) are important causative agents in gastroenteritidis and food poisoning cases. They are serologically grouped into five major classical types, i.e., SEA, SEB, SEC, SED, and SEE. In addition, new SEs, such as SEG through SEM, have recently been identified and characterized. In an attempt to survey the distribution of classical and new SEs in organisms responsible for staphylococcal infections in Taiwan, we developed PCR primers for the genes that define the SEK, SEL, and SEM types. Bacterial strains other than sek, sel, and sem Staphylococcus aureus, including strains of other Staphylococcus species, did not generate any false-positive results when examined with these primers. The expression potential for the sek, sel, and sem types were also determined by reverse transcription–PCR. Together with the PCR primers specific for the classical SEs and other new SEs, including SEG, SEH, SEI, and SEJ, we surveyed the SE genes in S. aureus strains isolated from food poisoning cases. For 147 S. aureus isolates originating from food poisoning cases, 109 (74.1%) were positive for one or more SE genes. Of them, the major classical enterotoxin type was sea (28.6%), followed by seb (20.4%), sec (8.2%), and sed (2.0%). For the new SE types, sei (30.6%) was detected the most often, followed by sek (18.4%), sem (12.9%), and sel (8.2%). Also, 64 (43.5%) of the total bacterial strains had more than one enterotoxin gene.

Abstract:
In recent years several new staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) have been described, which currently have largely unknown frequencies of occurrence and roles in human or animal disease. One hundred and ninety-one Staphylococcus aureus isolates from cows (99), goats (39), sheep (23), rabbits (15), chickens (15) and a cat (1) were screened for SE genes sea–see, seg–seo and seq and for the tst gene encoding staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 using multiplex PCRs and individual PCRs for the seb and sek genes. One hundred and ten isolates tested positive for at least one of these 16 superantigen (SAg)-encoding genes. There were statistically significant differences in the frequencies of some of these SAg genes between isolates from different animals. No strain possessed either the sea or see gene. The sec gene was present in 51 isolates, the sed gene in eight and the seb gene in one. The seh gene was found in four strains and the sek and seq genes together in one isolate. The most common combinations of genes were the egc cluster, bearing the seg, sei, sem, sen and seo genes, in 47 isolates, the sec, sel and tst gene combination typical of the SaPIbov pathogenicity island in 44 isolates, the egc cluster lacking the seg gene in 11 isolates, the sed and sej genes in nine isolates, and the sec and tst genes without the sel gene in seven isolates. The higher frequencies of the sec and tst genes together and the lower frequencies of the egc gene cluster among the SAg gene-positive sheep or goat isolates compared to bovine isolates were statistically significant. Of 36 bovine isolates that were mitogenic for human T lymphocytes, four were negative for the 16 SAg genes tested for, while a further 14 gave borderline results in the mitogenicity assay, 12 of which were SAg gene-negative. Twenty-nine strains lacking all the SAg genes did not induce T-cell proliferation. This survey indicates that novel SE genes seg, sei, sel, sem, sen and seo along with the sec and tst genes predominate in S. aureus from animal hosts. The mitogenicity assays indicate that further uncharacterized SAgs may be present in bovine isolates.

Abstract:
Sex- och samlevnadsämnet har varit obligatoriskt i svenska skolor i mer än 50 år men trots detfinns stora brister i hur det tas upp i undervisningen. Detta understryks av Skolverket som haridentifierat att det inte är säkert att alla elever får någon undervisning överhuvudtaget i frågorsom rör sex och samlevnad. Denna uppsats undersöker sex- och samlevnadsämnet utifrån treolika livsvärldar i fem olika kvalitativa intervjuer. Den första undersökningen utgörs avintervjuer med Ungdomsmottagningen Triangeln och RFSU Malmö, två externasexualupplysare som ofta bistår skolan i sex- och samlevnadsundervisningen. Då bland annatkritik mot lärarutbildning i sex och samlevnad framkom i den första undersökningen ledde vårandra undersökning oss till att intervjua en lärarutbildare för att se på ämnet ur dennes ögon.Den tredje undersökningen utgjordes av intervjuer med två verksamma lärare då det är dessasom ska bedriva sex- och samlevnadsundervisningen samt eventuellt tar hjälp ifrån de externaaktörerna. Vårt intresse riktade sig även till om de möjligtvis fått någon utbildning i ämnetunder sin lärarutbildning. Bilden av sex- och samlevnadsundervisningen som gavs av dessatre undersökningar var tydlig. Undervisningen saknas på många håll och den undervisningsom bedrivs är många gånger torftig av olika anledningar som oengagerade och outbildadelärare men även på grund av diffus styrning. Vidare avslöjades ett ytterligare problem,nämligen att pojkar ofta hamnar i skymundan i dagens sex- och samlevnadsundervisningvilket kan visa sig i att de testar sig för könssjukdomar mer sällan än flickor samt att de tarmindre preventivt ansvar.

Biological factors that determine sex and drive sexual differentiation have long been established in humans and other mammalian species. Yet there is a limited understanding of the mechanisms by which these factors give rise to sex-biased outcomes in health and disease. Growing evidence for sex differences in preclinical and clinical studies has led to research funding regulations that require clinical studies and drug trials to account for sex as a biological variable. This new wave of interest in sex differences is focused on three aspects: First, what factors show quantitative sex differences at the molecular and cellular levels, and how are they regulated, over the course of a lifetime, by the classic sex-biasing factors, i.e., genes encoded on the sex chromosomes and sex steroid hormones secreted by gonads. Second, can we utilize knowledge of sex differences (e.g., sex-biased gene expression) gained from studying model animals to generate and test hypotheses regarding these sex-driven variables in a multitude of biological functions of interest. Third, can we translate basic knowledge of sex differences into new therapeutic targets/strategies that alleviate sex-biased outcomes in common diseases, developing sex-specific treatments or extending sex-biased protection from one sex to the other. In this thesis, I will first review the fundamental causes of sex differences and the classical strategies used to study sex-biased phenotypes. Next, I will introduce existing mice models (i.e., the "Four-Core-Genotype", XY* and Sex Chromosome Trisomy models) that aid in delineating the effects of sex hormones and sex chromosomes on sex differences. Finally, I will highlight the insights gained from recent studies using these mouse models and discuss the need for a "systems approach" in future studies of sex differences. (276 words.)

Abstract:
This study was designed to investigate the influence of two individual difference variables--sex-role orientation and level of sex stereotyping—on the quality of people's own same- and opposite-sex friendships, and their attitudes toward same- and opposite-sex friendships in general. It was predicted that androgynous individuals would experience the highest quality in their friendships, followed by the sex-typed and undifferentiated. Level of stereotyping was predicted to influence both the quality of peoples' friendships, and their evaluations of the concepts same- and opposite-sex friendships. High-sex stereotyped persons were expected to have lower quality friendships and have less favorable attitudes toward cross-sex friendships compared with the low stereotyped. One hundred and one adults (62 females, 39 males) sampled from the City of Vancouver completed a series of questions designed to tap the quality of their same-and cross-sex friendships, and their attitudes toward sairie-and cross-sex friendships. The Bern Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI, Bern, 1974) was used to measure sex typing (androgynous, sex-typed, undifferentiated) and an instrument developed by the author was used to test level of sex stereotyping. As predicted, androgyny was related to better quality friendships. Androgynous individuals had significantly higher quality scores than either sex-typed or undifferentiated persons. Quality scores were not significantly different for sex-typed individuals compared with undifferentiated. These findings were interpreted in terms of the greater behavioral flexibility associated with androgyny. Although not predicted, sex typing was also a significant factor in evaluations of friendships and attitudes toward cross-sex friendships specifically. Androgynous individuals gave significantly higher evaluations to friendships and were more accepting of cross-sex friendships than persons in the other two sex-role orientation groups. In light of this finding a modification was made to the original theoretical framework to account for sex typing effects on evaluations of friendships. None of the predictions for level of sex stereotyping influences on quality and evaluation of friendships was supported. Psychometric problems with the measures used in the present study may have contributed to these non-significant findings. Other findings showed same-sex friendships received significantly higher quality ratings than cross-sex and same-sex friendships received more positive evaluations compared with opposite-sex friendships, although these latter findings were non-significant.

Abstract:
I kölvattnet av MeToo-rörelsen upplever vi att skolans sex- och samlevnadsundervisning är viktigare än någonsin. Trots att undervisningen har varit obligatorisk i den svenska skolan sedan 1955 upplever vi att elever idag inte får den undervisning som krävs. Syftet med denna examensuppsats blir således att undersöka hur elever på två gymnasieskolor uppfattar sin erfarenhet av sex- och samlevnadsundervisning. Studien har genomförts med hjälp av två fokusgrupper med sex elever vardera från årskurs 3 på gymnasiet. För att besvara vårt syfte och frågeställningar använder vi oss av fenomenografi och grundad teori. Fenomenografi används för att identifiera uppfattningar hos ett subjekt för att sedan analysera dessa i relation till kollektivet. Grundad teori används i sin tur för att med hjälp av likheter och olikheter i utsagor skapa egna teorier kring hur något ser ut. Båda teorierna används således för att skapa en så utförlig bild som möjligt av elevernas uppfattningar. Resultatet visade att eleverna uppfattade att sex- och samlevnadsundervisningen var sammankopplad med ämnet naturkunskap. Vidare kunde vi också se att de i vissa fall kopplade samman sex- och samlevnad med andra ämnen så som samhällskunskap, religionskunskap och historia men att dessa ofta presenteras som hypotetiska. Eleverna ansåg även att lärarens roll i undervisningen var av stor vikt, och att dessa ofta varit obekväma med ämnet. Avslutningsvis kände eleverna att undervisningen måste anpassas till ett modernt samhälle och lyfta frågor kring sexualitet och könsidentitet. Våra slutsatser blev således att undervisningen i sex- och samlevnad måste röra sig utanför ämnet naturkunskap och bli en naturligare del av de andra gymnasiegemensamma ämnena. Detta måste då förankras hos eleverna så att de kan identifiera värdeord som exempelvis relationer, identitet och genus när dessa dyker upp i olika ämnen under parollen sex- och samlevnad.

Abstract:
This study examined the relationship between sex, sex role and expression of depression. The Beck Depression Inventory, The Bem Sex Role Inventory, and the Inventory of Depressive Behaviors were administered to 589 college students. Sex differences in the expression of depression were similar to the findings of previous studies. Sex role differences in the expression of depression were found. Masculine sex role was related to expressive coping strategies along with instrumental strategies. Feminine sex role was related to behavioral and cognitive coping along with more expressive behaviors. The variance in expression of depression accounted for by sex was only partially accounted for by sex role. Undifferentiated individuals were significantly more depressed than Masculine, Feminine or Androgynous individuals, but there were no differences between the latter three groups. Thus, either masculinity or femininity appears to be associated with lower levels of depression.

Abstract:
Teaching about relationships and sex in UK schools often focuses on the biology of reproduction. Stakeholders have called for lessons to cover a broader range of issues, such as healthy relationships and the risks posed by using digital technology. The subject Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) will become statutory in all secondary schools in England in the near future. There is ongoing consultation into what will be included in the statutory guidance for RSE. This POSTnote reviews evidence on the potential outcomes of RSE in schools and how to maximise its effectiveness.

Full text
Abstract:
Using microdata from the censuses of eight countries in Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay), this paper describes matching patterns by age, ethnicity, and education among same-sex and different-sex couples. It shows that same-sex couples are more diverse than different-sex couples in terms of age, ethnicity, and education, although for ethnicity and education the differences are not large or statistically significant in all countries. It also reports notable differences between male and female same-sex couples, particularly in age and education matching.

Full text
Abstract:
Economic research on sexual minority individuals in developing countries has been constrained by the scarcity of nationally representative surveys asking about sexual orientation. This paper merges and harmonizes census data from eight Latin American countries to document socio-economic disparities between different-sex and same-sex couples. Overall, although there are some exceptions, individuals in same-sex couples are on average younger than women and men in different-sex couples, are less likely to identify as Indigenous (while differentials for African descendants vary by country), have higher education levels, and are less likely to live with children. Gaps in unemployment rates by couple type and sex differ by country. Both women and men in same-sex couples have higher average incomes in Brazil. The same holds for women in Mexico, while men in same-sex couples have lower average incomes. Finally, homeownership rates are lower among same-sex couples, while welfare differentials as proxied by ownership of assets and dwelling characteristics vary by country.
