Endophytic species of Nigrospora from grasses and shrubs of Shadegan International Wetland, with new species and records from Iran
In this study, Nigrospora isolates were obtained from healthy plants of this wetland and its surrounding salt marshes and identified based on morphological features and multilocus phylogenetic analyses based on three DNA loci, namely the internal transcribed spacer regions 1 and 2 including the intervening 5.8S nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS), β-tubulin (tub2), and elongation factor 1-α (tef1-α). Accordingly, the following Nigrospora species were identified: N. lacticolonia, N. oryzae, N. osmanthi, N. pernambucoensis and a novel taxon N. shadeganensis sp. nov., which is described and illustrated. To the best of our knowledg...

Development of CO < sub > 2 < /sub > -switchable deep eutectic solvent-based liquid-liquid microextraction approach: Application in urinary excretion and tissue distribution studies
This study introduces a novel sample pretreatment method using CO2-switchable DES in liquid-liquid microextraction (LLME) to enhance speed, accuracy, and sensitivity in complex biological samples analysis.RESULTS: A liquid-liquid microextraction sample pretreatment method based on switchable DES combined with high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was established for the analysis of urine and tissue samples. The method was optimized through systematic investigation of key parameters, including DES type, volume, molar ratio, pH, vortex time, gas purge time, and salt addition. The result...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 2194: Quality and Flavor Difference in Dry-Cured Meat Treated with Low-Sodium Salts: An Emphasis on Magnesium
i
Jianxin Cao
The present study aimed to develop low-sodium curing agents for dry-cured meat products. Four low-sodium formulations (SPMA, SPM, SP, and SM) were used for dry-curing meat. The physicochemical properties and flavor of the dry-cured meat were investigated. The presence of Mg2+ ions hindered the penetration of Na+ into the meat. The weight loss, moisture content, and pH of all low-sodium salt groups were lower than those of S. Mg2+ addition increased the water activity (Aw) of SPMA, SPM, and SM. Dry-curing meat with low-sodium salts promoted the production of volatile flavor compounds, with Mg2+ playing a...

Dysgeusia and Chronic Kidney Disease: a Scoping Review
Dysgeusia, a common altered taste perception in CKD patients, results in reduced taste acuity, impaired salt detection, and a metallic taste sensation, leading to nutritional alterations. The study aims to identify available treatments for educating, screening, and clinically managing dysgeusia in this population. (Source: Journal of Renal Nutrition)

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...
