J Microbiol Biotechnol. 2023 Nov 20;34(3):1-8. doi: 10.4014/jmb.2310.10015. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBasophils and mast cells are specialized effector cells in allergic reactions. Haliotis discus hannai (abalone), is valuable seafood. Abalone male viscera, which has a brownish color and has not been previously reported to show anti-allergic activities, was extracted with acetone. Six different acetone/hexane fractions (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 100%) were obtained using a silica column via βhexosaminidase release inhibitory activity-guided selection in phorbol myristate acetate and a calcium ionophore, A23187 (PMACI)-in...

The relationship between eating behaviour and metabolic health in aotearoa New Zealand: Preliminary HE ROUROU WAI PAINGA (HRWP) Trial data
Rationale: HRWP is a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of a dietary intervention (rich in fruit, vegetables, legumes, unrefined cereals, and seafood) and behaviour change support designed to explore the role of the intervention diet on metabolic health in those at risk of cardiometabolic disease. Research to date suggests that those with high scores on the Three-factor eating questionnaire r-18 (TFEQ) are at a higher risk of cardiometabolic diseases. Here we present preliminary data on baseline eating behaviours, metabolic syndrome Z score (MetS-Z score), and their associations. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Dynamics of efflux pumps in antimicrobial resistance, persistence, and community living of Vibrionaceae
Arch Microbiol. 2023 Nov 29;206(1):7. doi: 10.1007/s00203-023-03731-5.ABSTRACTThe marine bacteria of the Vibrionaceae family are significant from the point of view of their role in the marine geochemical cycle, as well as symbionts and opportunistic pathogens of aquatic animals and humans. The well-known pathogens of this group, Vibrio cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, and V. vulnificus, are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality associated with a range of infections from gastroenteritis to bacteremia acquired through the consumption of raw or undercooked seafood and exposure to seawater containing these pathogen...

Red Meat Consumption and Cancer Risk: A Systematic Analysis of Global Data
In this study, we systematically collected and analyzed global data (from Our World in Data and Global Cancer Observatory) to investigate this association for the first time. Our results confirmed significant positive associations between red meat consumption (RMC) and overall cancer incidence (0.798, p < 0.001), or colorectal cancer incidence (0.625, p < 0.001). Several previously unreported cancer types linked to RMC were also unveiled. Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita were found to have an impact on this association. However, even after controlling it, RMC remained significantly associated with cancer incid...

Pathogenetic detection, retrospective and pathogenicity analysis of a fatal case of Vibrio vulnificus in Shenzhen, China
We report a 36-year-old male patient died ofV. vulnificus-induced septicaemia and multiple organ failure syndrome after oyster consumption at a restaurant. We isolated and identifiedV. vulnificus vv16015 from the patient ’s blood sample and antibiotic susceptibility tests indicated sensitivity to all 21 antibiotics. Oyster samples were subsequently collected from the restaurant’s supplier and three strains ofV. vulnificus were isolated. Whole genome sequencing and analysis revealed vv16015 to be distantly related to these strains and confirmed thatV. vulnificus contamination was present in the seafood of the restaurant...

Vegetarian diets and risk of all-cause mortality in a population-based prospective study in the United States
This study evaluated prospective associations between vegetarian diets and all-cause mortality among 117,673 participants from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial cohort study. Vegetarian diet status was self-identified on the questionnaire. Deaths were ascertained from follow-up questionnaires and the National Death Index database. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to estimate the risk of all-cause mortality in hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). By diet group, there were 116,894 omnivores (whose diet does not exclude animal products), 329 lacto- and/or ovo-vegeta...
