AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers developed a vaccination method for bacterial coldwater disease (BCWD) in ayu fish (Plecoglossus altivelis) by using formalin-killed cells (FKCs) of Flavobacterium psychrophilum.
  • The FKC was administered orally at a dose of 0.1-0.2 g/kg body weight to juvenile ayu for either two weeks continuously or five days within that period.
  • The vaccinated fish showed significantly higher survival rates after being subjected to immersion challenges compared to control groups, demonstrating the effectiveness of oral vaccination against BCWD.

Article Abstract

The development of a practical vaccination method against bacterial coldwater disease (BCWD) in ayu Plecoglossus altivelis and the efficacy of oral administration of formalin-killed cells (FKCs) of Flavobacterium psychrophilum was investigated. The FKC was administrated at a dose of 0.1-0.2 g kg(-1) body weight to juvenile ayu (0.5 g body weight) every day for 2 wk or on 5 days over 2 wk. Experimental immersion challenge at 3 and 7 wk after vaccination showed significantly higher survival rates than the controls. The results show the effectiveness of oral vaccination against BCWD in ayu.

Design, Synthesis, and Pharmacological Evaluation of Nonsteroidal Tricyclic Ligands as Modulators of GABA Receptors.

GABA receptors (GABARs) are the major elements of inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system (CNS). They are established targets for regulation by endogenous brain neuroactive steroids (NASs) such as pregnanolone. However, the complexity of de novo synthesis of NAS derivatives has hindered attempts to circumvent the principal limitations of using endogenous NASs, including selectivity and limited oral bioavailability.

This split-mouth trial investigated the efficacy of treating bilateral gingival recessions with either a xenogeneic cross-linked collagen matrix (CCM), or recombinant human platelet derived growth factor (rhPDGF-BB) with a bone allograft (AG). Ten patients were treated with the coronally advanced flap (CAF), either with a CCM, or rhPDGF-BB + AG. The primary outcome was percentage of mean root coverage (mRC) at 12 months.

Objective: Previous studies on the efficacy of methotrexate in people with hand osteoarthritis (OA) have shown conflicting results. The MERINO trial aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of methotrexate in people with painful inflammatory erosive hand OA.

Design: In total 163 participants with erosive hand OA, synovitis by ultrasound, and finger joint pain of 40-80 ​mm on a visual analogue scale (VAS) will be recruited from a rheumatology outpatient clinic.

Discovery of a novel exceptionally potent and orally active Nur77 ligand NB1 with a distinct binding mode for cancer therapy.

The orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 is emerging as an attractive target for cancer therapy, and activating Nur77's non-genotypic anticancer function has demonstrated strong therapeutic potential. However, few Nur77 site B ligands have been identified as excellent anticancer compounds. There are no co-crystal structures of effective anticancer agents at Nur77 site B, which greatly limits the development of novel Nur77 site B ligands.
