Clostridium perfringens, an opportunistic pathogen, produces mu-toxin hyaluronidases including endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidases (Nags) as a virulence invasion factor. To clarify an intrinsic factor for degradation of host extracellular hyaluronan, we focused on hyaluronate lyase (HysA), distinct from endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidases. C.

Object: Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) have received significant attention in the field of cartilage tissue repair. Angelica sinensis polysaccharide (ASP) can enhance both the proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. Therefore, we intend to explore the effect of ASP on chondrogenic differentiation of ADSCs in vitro, and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

This study offers a comprehensive morpho-histological analysis of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of the Malabar red snapper. A comparison of its GIT morphology with that of the Asian seabass reveals similarities and differences between the two species. Additionally, the moisture content, crude protein, and ash in the fillets of Malabar red snapper and Asian seabass were slightly different, with Malabar red snapper exhibiting higher levels of essential fatty acids.

Asthma currently affects more than 339 million people worldwide. In the present preliminary study, we examined the efficacy of a new, inhalable soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor (sEHI), 1-trifluoromethoxyphenyl-3-(1-propionylpiperidin-4-yl) urea (TPPU), to attenuate airway inflammation, mucin secretion, and hyper-responsiveness (AHR) in an ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized murine model. Male BALB/c mice were divided into phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), OVA, and OVA+TPPU (2- or 6-h) exposure groups.

Asthma, a major non-communicable disease, affects both adults and children and is associated with high morbidity compared with other chronic diseases. The glycolysis-associated activation of type 2 helper T (Th2) cells is the critical immunopathological mechanism involved in asthma deterioration. Long-term use of steroids as a medical treatment for asthma induces side effects and resistance.
