Article Synopsis
- This study performed whole-genome sequencing of Aichivirus (AiV) identified in Korea, revealing an 8228-nucleotide-long genome that falls under genotype A.
- The genomic analysis demonstrated a 7296 nucleotide open reading frame encoding a polyprotein, alongside specific regions that show distinct secondary structures and varying amino acid identities compared to reference sequences.
- Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the Korean AiV strain OQ121963 shares the highest genetic similarity with a Taiwanese strain and lowest with a Brazilian strain, highlighting its relevance for enhancing diagnostic tools and understanding AiV epidemiology.
Wash water from fresh vegetables and root vegetables is an important vehicle for foodborne virus transmission. However, there is lack of assessing rapid viral inactivation strategies in wash water characterized by a high soil content at the post-harvest stage. Considering the significance of food safety during the washing stage for fresh and root vegetable produce prior to marketing, we assessed the inactivation efficacy by using chlorine dioxide (ClO) and peracetic acid (PAA) against a surrogate of human norovirus (murine norovirus 1, MNV-1) and hepatitis A virus (HAV), in wash water containing black soil and clay loam.

- The study explores the antiviral effects of essential oils (EOs) from cinnamon, clove, and thyme against the hepatitis A virus (HAV), highlighting their potential use as natural food preservatives.
- EOs were tested at different concentrations, revealing a significant reduction in HAV infectivity, especially at the highest concentration (1%), both in suspension and on various food-contact surfaces.
- The research suggests that these essential oils could serve as effective natural disinfectants, offering an alternative method to improve food safety by reducing viral contamination.
N-glycosylation, a common post-translational modification, is widely acknowledged to have a significant effect on protein stability and folding. N-glycosylation is a complex process that occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and requires the participation of multiple enzymes. GlcNAc-1-P-transferase (GPT) is essential for initiating N-glycosylation in the ER.

Background: The association between intraoperative anesthetics and patients' long-term outcomes following cancer surgery remains controversial.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study used nationwide data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service.
