Background: The objective of this study was to develop a method to simultaneously examine phenotype, proliferation, apoptosis, and death of antigen-stimulated porcine lymphocytes.
Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from pigs vaccinated with a Brachyspira hyodysenteriae bacterin.
Results: Once isolated, PBMCs were stained with the fluorescent membrane intercalating dye, PKH67, and cultured with or without B. hyodysenteriae whole-cell sonicate antigen. Serial samples of nonstimulated and B. hyodysenteriae-stimulated PBMCs were harvested for flow cytometric analysis. Fluorochrome excitation was performed with spatially separated air-cooled argon and red helium neon laser beams. Five-color analysis included signal detection of PKH67 (proliferation), phycoerythrin (cell surface antigen), Texas Red phycoerythrin tandem (cell surface antigen), allophycocyanin (annexin V), and 7-amino-actinomysin D (7AAD; viability). For analysis, gates were set on live (annexin V(-), 7AAD(-)), intact apoptotic (annexin V(+), 7AAD(dim)), and live plus intact apoptotic (annexin V(+/-), 7AAD(dim/-)) cells, and the phenotypes of PBMCs within these populations were determined during the course of the in vitro response. Dead cells (i.e., 7AAD(bright)) were excluded from the analysis.
Conclusion: Application of this method for the determination of porcine lymphocyte subset proliferation is presented.

Background: Currently, there is limited research on the impact of abdominal infection on intestinal damage under microgravity conditions. Cordyceps polysaccharide (CPS), the main active ingredient of Cordyceps, has demonstrated various pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties. Moxifloxacin (MXF) is a fourth-generation quinolone antibiotic that is believed to have a dual regulatory effect on immune system activation and suppression.

The vascular endothelial growth factor receptor is essential for the angiogenesis of cancer. Tumor propagation was effectively suppressed by inhibiting VEGFR-2 activity. As a result, the target quinoxaline-pyrazole hybrids were created in a way that closely resembled the structural characteristics of VEGFR-2 inhibitors.

Although curcumin is a well-known natural polyphenol with many biological activities, its clinical application has been limited by low aqueous solubility and stability. Therefore, curcumin derivatives have been proposed to overcome these limitations and increase anticancer activity. This study tested curcumin derivatives with modified feruloyl moieties ( and ) and the β-diketo moiety () to better understand their anticancer mechanism against human bladder cancer cells.

This study explores whether molecular hydrogen (H) administration can alleviate cognitive and immunological disturbances in a mouse model of vascular dementia (VaD). Adult male C57BL/6 mice underwent bilateral common carotid artery stenosis to induce VaD and were subsequently assigned to three groups: VaD, VaD with hydrogen-rich water treatment (VaD + H), and Sham controls. Behavioral assessments using open field and novel object recognition tests revealed that VaD mice exhibited anxiety-deficient behavior and memory impairment, both of which were reversed by H treatment.
