Hemispherical Microelectrode Array for Ex Vivo Retinal Neural Recording.

To investigate the neuronal visual encoding process in the retina, researchers have performed in vitro and ex vivo electrophysiological experiments using animal retinal tissues. The microelectrode array (MEA) has become a key component in retinal experiments because it enables simultaneous neural recording from a population of retinal neurons. However, in most retinal experiments, it is inevitable that the retinal tissue is flattened on the planar MEA, becoming deformed from the original hemispherical shape.

Exploring the antibiotic resistome in activated sludge and anaerobic digestion sludge in an urban wastewater treatment plant via metagenomic analysis.

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are emerging contaminants that pose a potential threat to human health worldwide. Urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a main source of both antibiotic-resistant bacteria and ARGs released into the environment. Nevertheless, the propagation of ARGs and their underlying mechanisms and the dynamics of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in WWTPs have rarely been investigated in South Korea.

Bacillus-Dominant Airborne Bacterial Communities Identified During Asian Dust Events.

Asian dust (AD) events have received significant attention due to their adverse effects on ecosystems and human health. However, detailed information about airborne pathogens associated with AD events is limited. This study monitored airborne bacterial communities and identified AD-specific bacteria and the potential hazards associated with these bacteria during AD events.

Classification and Regression Tree Approach for Prediction of Potential Hazards of Urban Airborne Bacteria during Asian Dust Events.

Despite progress in monitoring and modeling Asian dust (AD) events, real-time public hazard prediction based on biological evidence during AD events remains a challenge. Herein, both a classification and regression tree (CART) and multiple linear regression (MLR) were applied to assess the applicability of prediction for potential urban airborne bacterial hazards during AD events using metagenomic analysis and real-time qPCR. In the present work, Bacillus cereus was screened as a potential pathogenic candidate and positively correlated with PM concentration (p < 0.

Hispidulin-7-O-Neohesperidoside from var. Attenuates the Production of Inflammatory Mediators in LPS-Induced Raw 264.7 Cells and HT-29 Cells.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and involves secretion of inflammatory mediators. The flavone diglycoside hispidulin-7--neohesperidoside (HN) isolated from the methanolic extract of aerial parts of var. , but its pharmacologic activities, with the exception of alleviation of alcohol toxicity, have not been investigated to date.

Quercetin 3,7-O-dimethyl ether from Siegesbeckia pubescens suppress the production of inflammatory mediators in lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophages and colon epithelial cells.

Siegesbeckia pubescens (Compositae) is an annual herb indigenous to Korean mountainous regions. Recent reports have been issued on some compounds derived from S. pubescens for its anti-inflammatory activity or mode of action.

Rational design, synthesis, and characterization of deep blue phosphorescent Ir(III) complexes containing (4'-substituted-2'-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole ancillary ligands.

On the basis of the results of frontier orbital considerations, 4-substituted-2'-pyridyltriazoles were designed to serve as ancillary ligands in 2-phenylpyridine main ligand containing heteroleptic iridium(III) complexes that display deep blue phosphorescence emission. The iridium(III) complexes, Ir1-Ir7, prepared using the new ancillary ligands, were found to display structured, highly quantum efficient (Φp = 0.20-0.
