TREATMENT OF CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS WITH JELLYFISH STING AND RELATED RISK FACTORS [PDF]

open access: yes精准医学杂志, 2023
Jellyfish sting is a common problem in coastal areas around the world. Jellyfish toxin has strong toxicity and great harm, with uncontrollable onset time in patients after sting. The number of critically ill patients suffering from anaphylactic shock due

Phylogenetic and Selection Analysis of an Expanded Family of Putatively Pore-Forming Jellyfish Toxins (Cnidaria: Medusozoa)

open access: yesGenome Biology and Evolution, 2021
Many jellyfish species are known to cause a painful sting, but box jellyfish (class Cubozoa) are a well-known danger to humans due to exceptionally potent venoms.

Variability of cnidae within a small clonal sea anemone (Isactinia sp.)

open access: yesInvertebrate Biology, Volume 142, Issue 4, December 2023., 2023
Abstract The cnidom and intraspecific variability of cnidae within the small sea anemone Isactinia sp. were verified. The specific cnidae within the cnidom of four discrete morphological structures (tentacle, actinopharynx, mesenterial filaments, and body column) within Isactinia sp. was investigated.

On the paradox of thriving cold‐water coral reefs in the food‐limited deep sea

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 5, Page 1768-1795, October 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT The deep sea is amongst the most food‐limited habitats on Earth, as only a small fraction (<4%) of the surface primary production is exported below 200 m water depth. Here, cold‐water coral (CWC) reefs form oases of life: their biodiversity compares with tropical coral reefs, their biomass and metabolic activity exceed other deep‐sea ...

Non‐seed plants are emerging gene sources for agriculture and insect control proteins

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 116, Issue 1, Page 23-37, October 2023., 2023
SUMMARY The non‐seed plants (e.g., charophyte algae, bryophytes, and ferns) have multiple human uses, but their contributions to agriculture and research have lagged behind seed plants. While sharing broadly conserved biology with seed plants and the major crops, non‐seed plants sometimes possess alternative molecular and physiological adaptations ...

Global patterns and drivers of genetic diversity among marine habitat‐forming species

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 7, Page 1218-1229, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Intraspecific genetic diversity is one of the pillars of biodiversity, supporting the resilience and evolutionary potential of populations. Yet, our knowledge regarding the patterns of genetic diversity at macroecological scales, so‐called macrogenetic patterns, remains scarce, particularly in marine species.

Proteomic Analysis of the Venom of Jellyfishes Rhopilema esculentum and Sanderia malayensis

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2020
Venomics, the study of biological venoms, could potentially provide a new source of therapeutic compounds, yet information on the venoms from marine organisms, including cnidarians (sea anemones, corals, and jellyfish), is limited.

Neuropeptides and degenerin/epithelial Na+ channels: a relationship from mammals to cnidarians

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 601, Issue 9, Page 1583-1595, 1 May 2023., 2023
Abstract figure legend Several degenerin (DEG)/epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) ion channels interact with neuropeptides. Some DEG/ENaCs from vertebrates, including humans, are modulated by neuropeptides, whereas others, from bilaterian invertebrates and cnidarians, are directly activated by them. For modulation, neuropeptides [here, RFamides (RFa)] bind,

Transcriptomic Insights into the Diversity and Evolution of Myxozoa (Cnidaria, Endocnidozoa) Toxin-like Proteins

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2022
Myxozoa is a speciose group of endoparasitic cnidarians that can cause severe ecological and economic effects. Their cnidarian affinity is affirmed by genetic relatedness and the presence of nematocysts, historically called “polar capsules”.

The Mauve Stinger Pelagia noctiluca (Forsskål, 1775). Distribution, Ecology, Toxicity and Epidemiology of Stings.

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2008
The toxicity of Cnidaria is a subject of concern due to its influence on humans. In particular, jellyfish blooms can highly affect human economical activities, such as bathing, fishery, tourism, etc., as well as the public health.
