Three hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against human (62M MAb) or rat (463M and 589M MAbs) gastric mucins were isolated. These MAbs immunoreacted against a human recombinant protein encoded by the 3' region of the MUC5AC gene. We have mapped 2 new gastric mucin epitopes and the M1-f epitope previously characterized by the 19/21M1 MAbs on MUC5AC-encoded apomucin. The M1-f, 463/589M and 62M epitopes are located in the MUC11p15/von Willebrand factor (vWF)-A3uD4 domain, in the D4-(vWF)-like domain and in the C- and CK-vWF-like domains of MUC5AC, respectively. The 463/589M and 62M MAbs stained the surface epithelium of human gastric mucosae, but not the normal colon mucosae (except 463/589M MAbs, which immunoreacted with 5 of 49 cases). All hyperplastic polyps are stained strongly with the 463/589M MAbs and faintly with the 62M MAb. In addition, 463/589M epitope was detected in 64% of the adenomas and in 93% of the mucosae adjacent to adenocarcinomas; in contrast, only 9% of the adenomas and 29% of the mucosae adjacent to adenocarcinomas expressed the 62M epitope. The expression pattern of the 463/589M epitope in colonic carcinogenesis is different from that of the 19/21M1 epitope, although the 2 epitopes are encoded by MUC5AC gene.

The lateral line system in fish is crucial for detecting water flow, which facilitates various behaviors such as prey detection, predator avoidance, and rheotaxis. The cupula, a gelatinous structure overlaying the hair cells in neuromasts, plays a key role in transmitting mechanical stimuli to hair cells. However, the molecular composition of the cupula matrix remains poorly understood.

Purpose: To assess the impact of prolonged and intense exposure to video display terminals (VDTs) on ocular surface homeostasis.
Methods: 30 subjects limited daily VDT usage to less than 3 h for one week, then extended usage to more than 8 h/day for the next three weeks. Ocular symptoms and signs were evaluated weekly using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire and clinical examinations.

An alternative hatching system known as hatch on-farm (HOF) provides early access to feed compared to hatch in hatchery (HH) system. Early feeding may promote favorable gut development, potentially improving intestinal health and broiler performance. Previous studies have assessed the effects of HOF on chick quality, welfare and performance, its impacts on gut health remain inconclusive.

The effects of sunscreen on scleractinian corals have garnered widespread attention; however, the toxic effects and mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the toxicological effects of two common inorganic filters used in sunscreens, nano zinc oxide and titanium dioxide (nZnO and nTiO₂), on the reef-building coral Galaxea fascicularis, focusing on the phenotypic, physiological, and transcriptomic responses. The results showed that after exposure to 0.
