Comparative lipidomic profiling of the human commensal bacterium and its extracellular vesicles.

is a lipophilic commensal bacterium mainly found on the skin and in the gastrointestinal tract. Pathophysiological effects of have recently been reported not only in acne progression but in various diseases. As an emerging mode of bacterial communication, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been demonstrated to conduct critical pathophysiological functions.

Construction and characterization of the Korean whole saliva proteome to determine ethnic differences in human saliva proteome.

As the first step to discover protein disease biomarkers from saliva, global analyses of the saliva proteome have been carried out since the early 2000s, and more than 3,000 proteins have been identified in human saliva. Recently, ethnic differences in the human plasma proteome have been reported, but such corresponding studies on human saliva in this aspect have not been previously reported. Thus, here, in order to determine ethnic differences in the human saliva proteome, a Korean whole saliva (WS) proteome catalogue indexing 480 proteins was built and characterized through nLC-Q-IMS-TOF analyses of WS samples collected from eleven healthy South Korean male adult volunteers for the first time.

UPLC-QqQ/MS-Based Lipidomics Approach To Characterize Lipid Alterations in Inflammatory Macrophages.

In this study, UPLC-QqQ/MS-based lipidomics was applied to profile various lipids from RAW264.7 macrophages treated with different concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The degree of inflammation increased with the LPS concentration.

Proteomic analysis of extracellular vesicles derived from Propionibacterium acnes.

Purpose: Extracellular vesicle (EV) has been reported to conduct critical pathophysiological functions as an emerging mode of communication in bacteria. Recently, Propionibacterium acnes, an anaerobic Gram-positive human commensal found in the skin and gastrointestinal tract, has drawn increasing attention as an underestimated pathogen in a variety of diseases.

Experimental Design: For the comprehensive understanding of P.

UPLC-MS/MS-Based Profiling of Eicosanoids in RAW264.7 Cells Treated with Lipopolysaccharide.

While both the pro- and anti-inflammatory effects of several eicosanoids have been widely studied, the degree of inflammation in cells that results from various eicosanoids has yet to be comprehensively studied. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment on eicosanoid content in RAW264.7 cells.

Small polyanion recognition of a triazolium cyclodextrin click cluster in water.

In order to detect small polyanions (sPAs), which play important roles in many biological systems, a triazolium cyclodextrin click cluster (5, hexakis{6-(3-methyl-4-hydroxymethyl-1H-1,2,3-triazolium-1-yl)-6-deoxy}-α-cyclodextrin iodide) was synthesized and characterized. The competition binding to 5 occupied by 5-carboxyfluorescein of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), phytic acid, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), glucose, and glucose-6-phosphate was evaluated by UV/vis titration in HEPES (10 mM, pH 7.4) : methanol (1 : 1, v/v).

Effect of platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin on peri-implant bone defects in dogs.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of tooth ash and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) grafts into bone defects around implants on bone formation. Six adult dogs were used as experimental subjects. Graft materials were used to create a particulate material.

A comparative study of bone formation following grafting with different ratios of particle dentin and tricalcium phosphate combinations.

This study aimed to evaluate the bone regeneration relative to tooth powder and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) mixing ratios using the rabbit cranium defect model. The tooth powder was mixed with TCP in 1:1, 3:1, and 1:3 ratios, and the different ratios were implanted in the rabbit cranium defect for 4 and 8 weeks. Powders crystal structure evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and new bone formation (NBF) was analyzed using micro-computed tomography (CT) and histologic examination.

Novel insertion mutation of ABCB1 gene in an ivermectin-sensitive Border Collie.

P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is encoded by the ABCB1 gene and acts as an efflux pump for xenobiotics. In the Border Collie, a nonsense mutation caused by a 4-base pair deletion in the ABCB1 gene is associated with a premature stop to P-gp synthesis. In this study, we examined the full-length coding sequence of the ABCB1 gene in an ivermectin-sensitive Border Collie that lacked the aforementioned deletion mutation.
