Unknownwksl3, a New biocontrol agent for Salmonella enterica serovars enteritidis and typhimurium in foods: characterization, application, sequence analysis, and oral acute toxicity study.
Of the Salmonella enterica serovars, S. Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium are responsible for most of the Salmonella outbreaks implicated in the consumption of contaminated foods in the Republic of Korea. Because of the widespread occurrence of antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella in foods and food proce...

UnknownEffects of pepsin and pepstatin on reflux tonsil hypertrophy in vitro.
There is evidence that pepsin can aggravate tonsil hypertrophy. Pepstatin is a potent inhibitor of pepsin activity and could protect patients against reflux tonsil hypertrophy by inhibiting pepsin. We examined the effects of pepstatin on the development of tonsil hypertrophy to investigate pepsin's ...

UnknownPersistence of the neutralizing antibody response after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Objective

Neutralizing antibodies are among the factors used to measure an individual's immune status for the control of infectious diseases. We aimed to confirm the persistence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) neutralizing antibody levels in patients who had r...

UnknownAssessment of Device Neoendothelialization With Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography After Transcatheter Closure of Atrial Septal Defect.

Background

Although the transcatheter closure of atrial septal defect was established as the treatment of choice several decades ago, the process of device neoendothelialization (NE) in humans is not well understood. We aimed to measure the extent of device NE using cardiac computed tomograp...

UnknownMolecular cloning and expression analysis of peptidase genes in the fish-pathogenic scuticociliate Miamiensis avidus.

Background

Parasite peptidases have been actively studied as vaccine candidates or drug targets for prevention or treatment of parasitic diseases because of their important roles for survival and/or invasion in the host. Like other parasites, the facultative histophagous ciliate Miamiensis a...

UnknownAlpha-Lipoic Acid Ameliorates Radiation-Induced Salivary Gland Injury by Preserving Parasympathetic Innervation in Rats.
Radiation therapy is a standard treatment for patients with head and neck cancer. However, radiation exposure to the head and neck induces salivary gland (SG) dysfunction. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) has been reported to reduce radiation-induced toxicity in normal tissues. In this study, we investigated...

UnknownLongitudinal changes in ventricular function and atrioventricular valve failure following cardiac morphology after Fontan procedure.

Background

Ventricular dysfunction and atrioventricular valve (AVV) failure in Fontan patients are associated with adverse long-term outcomes; however, data on longitudinal changes and their relationship with morphology are lacking. This study aimed to describe longitudinal changes in ventri...

UnknownInfluence of Zika virus 3'-end sequence and nonstructural protein evolution on the viral replication competence and virulence.
Zika virus (ZIKV) has been circulating in human networks over 70 years since its first appearance in Africa, yet little is known about whether the viral 3'-terminal sequence and nonstructural (NS) protein diverged genetically from ancient ZIKV have different effects on viral replication and virulenc...

UnknownSimple eco-friendly synthesis of the surfactant free SnS nanocrystal toward the photoelectrochemical cell application.
A simple, low cost, non-toxic and eco-friendly pathway for synthesizing efficient sunlight-driven tin sulfide photocatalyst was studied. SnS nanocrystals were prepared by using mechanical method. The bulk SnS was obtained by evaporation of SnS nanocrystal solution. The synthesized samples were chara...

UnknownThe usefulness of red blood cell distribution width and its ratio with platelet count in breast cancer after surgery and adjuvant treatment: a retrospective study.

Background

To date, red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and RDW-to-platelet count ratio (RPR) have been investigated for their association with cancer. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of RDW and RPR in breast cancer before and after treatment.

Methods

We retro...
