ABSTRACT The shedding of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) into saliva droplets plays a critical role in viral transmission. source high loads saliva, however, remains elusive. Here we investigate the early target cells infection entire array tissues Chinese macaques after intranasal inoculations with single-cycle pseudotyped virus and pathogenic SARS-CoV. We found that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2-positive (ACE2 + ) were widely distributed upper tract, ACE2...

The topic of gut microbiota is currently attracting considerable interest as a potential factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the extent and time course alterations microbiota, their effects on AD pathology remain uncertain. Herein, we compared fecal microbiomes short chain fatty acid composition (SCFAs) between wild-type model mice at different ages under strictly controlled specific pathogen free conditions, also conducted microscopic investigations intestinal structures. Our...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by a coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and has the potential to threaten global public health socioeconomic stability. Evidence of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) SARS-CoV infection in vitro non-human primates clouds prospects for safe vaccine. Using antibodies from SARS patients, we identified characterized B-cell peptide epitopes with disparate functions. In rhesus macaques, spike glycoprotein peptides S471-503, S604-625, S1164-1191 elicited...

Sauce-flavor Baijiu is representative of solid-state fermented Baijiu. It significant to deeply reveal the dynamic changes microorganisms in manufacturing process and their impact on formation flavor chemicals correlated with quality can be divided into seven rounds, from which kinds base Baijius are produced. The third round significantly better than that first second but mystery behind phenomenon has not yet been revealed. Based high-throughput sequencing analysis grains, correlation...

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is currently being discussed as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Mounting evidence indicates that increased HDAC6 expression may contribute to AD-associated neurodegeneration, although beneficial effects have also been identified. In present study, we tested potential two selective inhibitors, tubastatin A and ACY-1215, rescue cognitive deficits in mouse model AD. We found both ACY-1215 alleviated behavioral deficits,...

In 2012, a novel coronavirus (CoV) associated with severe respiratory disease, Middle East syndrome (MERS-CoV; previously known as human coronavirus–Erasmus Medical Center or hCoV-EMC), emerged in the Arabian Peninsula. To date, 114 cases of MERS-CoV have been reported, 54 fatalities. Animal models for infection humans are needed to elucidate MERS pathogenesis and develop vaccines antivirals. this study, we developed rhesus macaques model using intratracheal inoculation. The infected monkeys...

Abstract Gut microbiota, comprising a vast number of microorganism species with complex metagenome, are known to be associated Alzheimer's disease (AD) and amyloid deposition. However, studies related gut microbiota have been mostly restricted comparisons deposits, while investigations on neurobehavioral changes the pathogenesis AD limited. Therefore, we aimed identify relationship between in intestinal microbiome AD. APP swe /PS1 ΔE9 (PAP) transgenic mice wild‐type (WT) different age groups...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia worldwide, associated with cognitive deficits and brain glucose metabolic alteration. However, the associations changes dysfunction are less detailed. Here, we examined brains APP/presenilin 1 (PS1) transgenic (Tg) mice aged 2, 3.5, 5 8 months using 18F-labed fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) microPET to assess age- region-specific metabolism. FDG uptake was calculated as relative standardized value (SUVr). Morris water maze (MWM) used...

A common symptom in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is cognitive decline, of which the potential pathogenesis remains unclear. In order to understand mechanism gut microbiota AD, it necessary clarify relationship between and metabolites. Behavioral tests, pathological examination, metagenomics, metabolomics were applied analyze difference metabolome APPswe/PS1ΔE9 (PAP) mice with decline age-matched controls, their possible correlations. Our results showed that PAP health had different structures...

Nicotine has a therapeutic benefit in treating Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the present study we show that nicotine decreases accumulation of beta-amyloid (Abeta) cortex and hippocampus APP (V717I) transgenic mice. prevents activation NF-kappaB c-Myc by inhibiting MAP kinases (MAPKs). As result, activity inducible NOS production NO are down-regulated. RNA interference experiments above nicotine-mediated process requires alpha7 nAChR. Abeta via alpha7nAChRs through MAPK, NF-kappaB, c-myc...

Abstract A new SARS animal model was established by inoculating coronavirus (SARS‐CoV) into rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ) through the nasal cavity. Pathological pulmonary changes were successively detected on days 5–60 after virus inoculation. All eight animals showed a transient fever 2–3 Immunological, molecular biological, and pathological studies support establishment of this model. Firstly, SARS‐CoV‐specific IgGs in sera from 11 to 60 Secondly, SARS‐CoV RNA could be pharyngeal swab...
