A Shotgun Proteomic-Based Approach with a Q-Exactive Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap High-Resolution Mass Spectrometer for the Assessment of Pesticide Mixture-Induced Neurotoxicity on a 3D-Developed Neurospheroid Model from Human Brain Meningiomas: Identification of Trityl-Post-Translational Modification.

The widespread use of pesticides, particularly in combinations, has resulted in enhanced hazardous health effects. However, little is known about their molecular mechanism of interactions. The aim of this study was to assess the neurotoxicity effect of pesticides in mixtures by adopting a 3D in vitro developed neurospheroid model, followed by treatment by increased concentrations of pesticides for 24 h and analysis by a shotgun proteomic-based approach with high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry.

Okra ( L.) Flour Integration in Wheat-Based Sourdough: Effect on Nutritional and Technological Quality of Bread.

The aim of this study was to develop an innovative sourdough using dehydrated okra ( L.) pod flour and to use it in the production of bread. Three different flours (sun-dried S, freeze-dried F, oven-dried O) were individually mixed at 9% with wheat flour (Dough Yield 300) and fermented (N: 8.

RETINAL BURNS IN PHOTIC RETINOPATHY: THREE CASE REPORTS.

Photic retinopathy (PR) is due to retinal phototoxicity, especially affecting the macula, resulting from exposure to sun, welding devices and lasers. It leads to oxidative damage to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the surrounding photoreceptors. Early recognition of this visual threatening condition, follow-up lesion evolution, and prevention of prolonged ocular exposure to lights is warranted.

Genome sequencing of Porostereum spadiceum to study the degradation of levofloxacin.

Despite various plans to rationalize antibiotic use, antibiotic resistance in environmental bacteria is increasing due to the accumulation of antibiotic residues in the environment. This study aimed to test the ability of basidiomycete fungal strains to biotransform the antibiotic levofloxacin, a widely-used third-generation broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone, and to propose enzyme targets potentially involved in this biotransformation. The biotransformation process was performed using fungal strains.
