serovar Gallinarum biovar Gallinarum (SG) causes fowl typhoid, a notifiable infectious disease in poultry. However, the pathogenic mechanism of SG-induced systemic infection in chickens remains unclear. Thioredoxin reductase (TrxB) is a redox protein crucial for regulating various enzyme activities in serovar, but the role in SG-induced chicken systemic infection has yet to be determined.

Mycotoxins are commonly found in food materials and severely threaten human health. Antibodies play a key role as a part of immunological techniques in detecting mycotoxins. Therefore, highly specific antibodies and detection techniques against mycotoxins need to be developed for advancements in medical research.

serovar Gallinarum () is an important host-specific pathogen that causes fowl typhoid, a severe systemic, septicemic, and fatal infection, in chickens. causes high morbidity and mortality in chickens and poses a significant burden and economic losses to the poultry industry in many developing countries. However, the virulence factors and mechanisms of -induced systemic infection in chickens remain poorly understood.

Article Synopsis
  • * It emphasizes the role of exotoxins produced by this pathogen as critical factors in causing infections and food poisoning in humans and animals, listing specific toxins associated with different illnesses, such as foodborne poisoning and toxic shock syndrome.
  • * The review aims to provide new insights into the structure, functions, and pathogenicity of both well-known and recently identified exotoxins linked to this pathogen.

Ochratoxin A (OTA) contamination seriously threatens food safety and human health and requires sensitive and rapid tools for monitoring. In this study, a convenient enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on Avi-labeled nanobody Nb-2G/streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase and magnetic beads (MBS-ELISA) was established for the sensitive detection of OTA, which could be used for one-pot detection without immobilization. After optimization, the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) and the lowest limit of detection value of the MBS-ELISA was 1.

Objective: We sought to quantitatively evaluate the degree of deep venous reflux of the lower extremities using colour Doppler velocity profile (CDVP) technology.

Methods: Deep venous reflux volume was examined using CDVP in 79 limbs of 66 patients who were admitted to our hospital between July 1999 and July 2000 with primary, deep venous, valvular incompetence. Reflux data were statistically described and analyzed.
