Diseases of the stomach, including gastric cancer and peptic ulcer, are most common digestive diseases. It is impossible to visualize entire stomach with passive capsule currently used in practice because large size cavity. A magnetically controlled endoscopy (MCE) system has been designed explore stomach. We performed a prospective study compare accuracy detection focal lesions by MCE vs conventional gastroscopy (the standard method).We multicenter blinded comparing 350 patients (mean age,...
This study aimed to measure the exposure of elderly per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) explore their effects on thyroid hormone levels. A cross-sectional plasma samples from 746 people (aged >60 years) Taiyuan, China was conducted. Fourteen PFASs were determined using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry five function indicators, thyroid-stimulating (TSH), thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), free T4 (FT4), T3 (FT3), an enzyme-linked immunoassay. Descriptive analysis used...
Understanding the genetic basis of host shifts is a key genomic question for pathogen and parasite biology. The Bacillus cereus group, which encompasses thuringiensis anthracis, contains pathogens that can infect insects, nematodes, vertebrates. Since target range essential virulence factors (Cry toxins) many isolates well known, this group presents powerful system investigating how diversify adapt to phylogenetically distant hosts. Specialization exploit insects occurs at level major clade...
ABSTRACT Listeria monocytogenes can cause severe listeriosis, with the consumption of contaminated food being an important route its transmission. Biopreservatives be used for prevention and control L. in food. In this study, we identified a novel lantibiotic, mycoidesin, potent bacteriostatic activity against . It exhibited 4- to 16-fold higher strains than nisin A. Analysis mode action mycoidesin revealed that it exerted ATCC 19111 at low high concentrations (1×–32× MIC, 0.39–12.5 µM)....
Combining plasma activation and cross-reactivity of sensor array, we have developed a plasma-assisted cataluminescence (PA-CTL) array for fast sensing discrimination gaseous hydrocarbons, which can be potentially used diagnosis lung cancer. Based on dielectric barrier discharge, low-temperature is generated to activate hydrocarbons with low (CTL) activities. Extremely increased CTL responses been obtained, resulted in assistance factor infinity (∞) some hydrocarbons. On 4 × 3 PA-CTL made...
Due to the rapidly increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains, need for new antimicrobial drugs treat infections has become urgent. Bacteriocins, which are peptides origin, considered potential alternatives conventional antibiotics and have attracted widespread attention in recent years. Among these bacteriocins, lantibiotics, especially two-component exhibit potent activity against some clinically relevant Gram-positive pathogens applications pharmaceutical industry. In...
Plant-parasitic nematodes were found in 4 of the 12 clades phylum Nematoda. These different may have originated independently from their free-living fungivorous ancestors. However, exact evolutionary process these parasites is unclear. Here, we sequenced genome sequence a migratory plant nematode, Ditylenchus destructor We performed comparative genomics among Caenorhabditis elegans and all with sequences available. that, compared C. elegans, core developmental control processes underwent...
Cu<sub>2</sub>O@TiOF<sub>2</sub>/TiO<sub>2</sub>composites with large surfaces were prepared by a hydrothermal method and exhibited excellent activity under simulated solar light, showing high efficiency for tetracycline hydrochloride photocatalytic degradation, reusability.
Consumer demand for "fresh food" with no chemical preservatives has prompted researchers to pay more attention natural antimicrobial peptides such as bacteriocins. Nisin is currently the most widely used food biopreservative among bacteriocins; however, its applications are restricted due low stability at neutral and alkaline pH values. Circular bacteriocins have potent activity against foodborne pathogens, show exceptional stability, great potential be developed biopreservatives. Here, we...
We identified a novel leaderless bacteriocin, toyoncin, produced by B. toyonensis XIN-YC13. Toyoncin shows good pH and heat stability, it has specific antimicrobial activity against cereus L. monocytogenes (two important foodborne pathogens), likely destroying their cell membrane integrity.
Sampling challenges in deep-sea ecosystems lead to a lack of knowledge about the distribution microbes different submarine canyons. To study microbial diversity and community turnover under ecological processes, we performed 16S/18S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing for sediment samples from canyon South China Sea. Bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes made up 57.94% (62 phyla), 41.04% (12 1.02% (4 phyla) sequences, respectively. Thaumarchaeota, Planctomycetota,
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been used as the most successful microbial pesticide for decades. Its toxin genes are development of genetically modified crops against pests. We previously developed a web-based insecticidal gene mining tool BtToxin_scanner. It frequently by many researchers worldwide. However, it can only handle genome one online. To facilitate efficiently from large-scale sequence data, we re-designed this with new workflow and novel bacterial pesticidal protein database....
Despite the successful application of crystal proteins (Cry) from Bacillus thuringiensis as biological control agents against insects, there is an increasing demand to identify new Cry toxins having higher toxicity and broad-spectrum activity insects plant-parasitic nematodes. To find novel toxins, we screened 100 whole-genome sequences B. Surprisingly, in addition full found partial sequences, such typical N-terminal or C-terminal regions with conserved domains, widely distributed among 20...
In recent years, bacteriocins have attracted considerable interest for use as natural food preservatives against spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms. Recent studies shown that the strains of Bacillus cereus group produce a range highly diverse bacteriocins. this study, we screened large number isolated one strain, sp. Xin1, with antimicrobial activity several food-borne pathogens. A novel circular bacteriocin, bacicyclicin XIN-1 (MW: 5848.1719 Da), was purified from culture supernatant...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major bacterial pathogen that causes hospital- and community-acquired infections. Owing to its multidrug resistance, it imperative develop new antimicrobial agents treat MRSA In this study, using genome mining analysis culture-based screening method detect bacteriocin activity, we screened strain, Bacillus sp. TL12, which harbored putative leaderless gene cluster (bac cluster) exhibited potent anti-MRSA activity. The agents, products of...
Bacteriocins are bacterial-derived peptides that exhibit antimicrobial activity and can be used as food preservatives. Here, using the indicator strain Bacillus cereus CMCC63301, we screened identified a thuringiensis LX43 exhibits potent harbors putative leaderless bacteriocin gene cluster (thn cluster). Five novel bacteriocins, thuricin A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, encoded by thn cluster, were purified identified. Thuricin A5 was regarded representative showed remarkable against foodborne pathogens...
