OmpR (TCS response regulator) of Aeromonas veronii plays a major role in drug resistance, stress resistance and virulence by regulating biofilm formation.

Aeromonas veronii (A. veronii), a highly pathogenic bacteria with a wide range of hosts, widely exists in the environment of humans, animals and aquatic animals, and can cause a variety of diseases. In this study, the receptor regulator ompR in the envZ/ompR of two-component system was selected to construct a mutant strain (Δ ompR) and a complement strain (C-ompR) to explore the regulatory effect of ompR on the biological characteristics and virulence of TH0426.

Prevalence of Infection in Sheep and Goat Flocks in China During 2010-2019: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Cryptosporidiosis is an extensively contagious zoonotic waterborne disease caused by the genus and poses to be a danger to public health. Sheep and goats are an intermediate host of . Consequently, a first systematic review and meta-analysis are performed to assess the burden of the infection relative to the in sheep and goat flocks in China.

Transcriptome Analysis of Epithelioma Papulosum Cyprini Cells Infected by Reovirus Isolated from Allogynogenetic Silver Crucian Carp.

The present study aimed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and major signal transduction pathways that were related to the immune response of epithelioma papulosum cyprinid (EPC) cells to reoviruses isolated from allogynogenetic silver crucian carp. The study also lays a theoretical foundation for the pathogenesis and immunity of the reovirus, which is helpful to the breeding of cyprinids fish. Reovirus infected and uninfected EPC cells were analyzed by using a new-generation high-throughput sequencing technology.

[Dynamic Changes of Dectin-2 Expression on Dendritic Cells in Mice Infected with Trichinella spiralis].

Objective: To investigate the effect of Trichinella spiralis infection on dectin-2 expression on dendritic cells (DC) in mice.

Methods: Seventy-two female BABL/c mice were randomized into experimental and control groups (n=36 in each), and received intragastric administration of 200 muscle larvae of Trichinella spiralis and PBS respectively. Six animals were each sacrificed on days 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 after administration.

Molecular Characterization of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in Domestic Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Northeastern China.

A study of 426 rabbits from 3 cities in Jilin province (Changchun City and Jilin City) and Liaoning province (Shenyang City) was conducted between May and June 2015. The overall prevalence of E. bieneusi in rabbits was 0.

Serological tools for detection of infection in animals and humans.

Trichinellosis is a serious foodborne zoonotic disease. It is an important threat to public health in both developing and developed countries. Human infections are strongly associated with consuming undercooked meat containing infective larvae.

Seroprevalence and risk factors of Toxoplasma gondii infection in stray dogs in northern China.

Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic protozoan of almost all species of mammals and birds. However, no information is available about seroprevalence of the pathogen in stray dogs in seven cities from Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Liaoning province, China. Using the indirect hemagglutination antibody (IHA) test with a cutoff titer of 1:64, 129 (14.

Serine proteases of parasitic helminths.

Serine proteases form one of the most important families of enzymes and perform significant functions in a broad range of biological processes, such as intra- and extracellular protein metabolism, digestion, blood coagulation, regulation of development, and fertilization. A number of serine proteases have been identified in parasitic helminths that have putative roles in parasite development and nutrition, host tissues and cell invasion, anticoagulation, and immune evasion. In this review, we described the serine proteases that have been identified in parasitic helminths, including nematodes (Trichinella spiralis, T.

[Inhibitory effect of icariin on acetylcholinesterase].

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors are mainly used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The inhibitory effect of icariin on the activity of AChE was investigated by inhibition kinetics. The binding interaction and binding sites between icariin and AChE were also studied by using fluorimetry and molecular docking, respectively.

Ultrastructure and electrophysiology of astrocytes differentiated from adult adipose-derived stromal cells.

Background: Adipose-derived stromal cell (ADSC) differentiation into neural cells in vitro is becoming widely studied. However, there are few reports on astrocytes following differentiation, and particularly on maturation and electrophysiology. In this study, we used various methods to determine ADSC-derived astrocyte maturity.

Construction of EGFP-tagged rBCG of E.tenella and distribution in chickens.

Chicken coccidiosis is a major parasitic disease with substantial economic burden to the poultry industry. Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) tagged recombinant Bacille Calmette-Guerin (rBCG), as a fusion protein with coccidian rhomboid antigen was constructed to track rBCG in vivo in chickens in this study. Immunization of chickens with one dose of rBCG pMV361-Rho/EGFP induced humoral immune response.

[The apoptosis of human gastric cancer cell induced by Acanthopanax giraldii Harms var Hispidus Hoo Polysaccharides in vitro].

Objective: To investigate the effect of Acanthopanax Giraldii Harms Var Hispidus Hoo polysaccharides (AGP-I) on the human gastric cancer cell.

Methods: DNA agarose gel electrophoresis and flow cytometry techniques were adopted.

Results: After treatment with AGP-I, apoptotic peaks in cell cycle analysis and DNA ladder on the agarose gel were observed.
