Extremophiles and their expanding biotechnological applications
Arch Microbiol. 2024 May 7;206(6):247. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03981-x.ABSTRACTMicrobial life is not restricted to any particular setting. Over the past several decades, it has been evident that microbial populations can exist in a wide range of environments, including those with extremes in temperature, pressure, salinity, and pH. Bacteria and Archaea are the two most reported types of microbes that can sustain in extreme environments, such as hot springs, ice caves, acid drainage, and salt marshes. Some can even grow in toxic waste, organic solvents, and heavy metals. These microbes are called extremophiles. There exist ...

Lycopene promoted M2 macrophage polarization via inhibition of NOTCH1-PI3K-mTOR-NF- κB-JMJD3-IRF4 pathway in response to Escherichia coli infection in J744A.1 cells
Arch Microbiol. 2024 May 7;206(6):249. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03971-z.ABSTRACTEscherichia coli (E. coli) can induce severe clinical bovine mastitis, which is to blame for large losses experienced by dairy farms. Macrophage polarization into various states is in response to pathogen infections. Lycopene, a naturally occurring hydrocarbon carotenoid, relieved inflammation by controlling M1/M2 status of macrophages. Thus, we wanted to explore the effect of lycopene on polarization states of macrophages in E. coli-induced mastitis. Macrophages were cultivated with lycopene for 24, before E. coli inoculation for 6 h. Lycopene ...

Phosphorylation-Dependent Regulation of Guanylyl Cyclase (GC)-A and Other Membrane GC Receptors
Endocr Rev. 2024 May 7:bnae015. doi: 10.1210/endrev/bnae015. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTReceptor guanylyl cyclases (GCs) are single membrane spanning, multidomain enzymes, that synthesize cGMP in response to natriuretic peptides or other ligands. They are evolutionarily conserved from sea urchins to humans and regulate diverse physiologies. Most family members are phosphorylated on four to seven conserved serines or threonines at the beginning of their kinase homology domains. This review describes studies that demonstrate that phosphorylation and dephosphorylation are required for activation and inactivation of these e...

An Assessment of the Prevalence and Risk Factors of Hypertensive Crisis in Patients Who Visited the Emergency Outpatient Department (EOPD) at Adama Hospital Medical College, Adama, Oromia, Ethiopia: A 6-Month Prospective Study
Conclusions and Recommendations. Hypertensive crises are one of the most prevalent reasons for EOPD admission and are linked to significant consequences. At presentation, most of the study subjects were known hypertension patients. Diabetes mellitus was discovered to be a comorbid condition in one-quarter of them. Although more than half of the patients had improved, the death rate still remained high. Infrastructure and capacity building to provide hospitals with the requisite baseline investigations are among the government's recommendations. Health practitioners are expected to make improvements, such as by educating th...

Assessment of Voice Content for Voice Hearers: Psychometric Evaluation of the Perth Voice Content Questionnaire
Clin Psychol Psychother. 2024 May-Jun;31(3):e2991. doi: 10.1002/cpp.2991.ABSTRACTThe experience of hearing voices is common to an estimated 7% of the general population, with the presence of negative content being the best predictor of whether individuals will require clinical support. Whilst largely neglected in the literature to date, there are calls to consider the significance of voice content for reducing voice-related distress. However, no quantitative and comprehensive measure of voice content with suitability for research and clinical use exists. This pilot study aimed to demonstrate preliminary psychometric proper...

A Short Review on Obeticholic Acid: An Effective Modulator of Farnesoid X Receptor
Curr Rev Clin Exp Pharmacol. 2024;19(3):225-233. doi: 10.2174/0127724328239536230919070001.ABSTRACTFarnesoid X receptor (FXR) was identified as an orphan nuclear receptor resembling the steroid receptor in the late '90s. Activation of FXR is a crucial step in many physiological functions of the liver. A vital role of FXR is impacting the amount of bile acids in the hepatocytes, which it performs by reducing bile acid synthesis, stimulating the bile salt export pump, and inhibiting its enterohepatic circulation, thus protecting the hepatocytes against the toxic accumulation of bile acids. Furthermore, FXR mediates bile acid...

Enhanced bone regeneration by osteoinductive and angiogenic zein/whitlockite composite scaffolds loaded with levofloxacin
RSC Adv. 2024 May 2;14(21):14470-14479. doi: 10.1039/d4ra00772g. eCollection 2024 May 2.ABSTRACTPromoting angiogenesis following biomaterial implantation is essential to bone tissue regeneration. Herein, the composite scaffolds composed of zein, whitlockite (WH), and levofloxacin (LEVO) were fabricated to augment bone repair by facilitating osteogenesis and angiogenesis. First, three-dimensional composite scaffolds containing zein and WH were prepared using the salt-leaching method. Then, as a model antibiotic drug, the LEVO was loaded into zein/WH scaffolds. Moreover, the addition of WH enhanced the adhesion, differentiat...
