Two interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) assays, the IFN-gamma enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and the IFN-gamma bioassay and an absorbed ELISA were used to screen 6 cattle herds for Johne's disease. Each herd had a history of Johne's disease but the majority of infected animals did not show clinical signs. The disease status of the cattle, which were removed from the herds, was confirmed by bacteriological culture of faeces or histopathological examination and culture of tissues collected at necropsy. The sensitivities of the IFN-gamma assays and the absorbed ELISA were determined using test results from infected animals. The sensitivity of the IFN-gamma EIA in detecting subclinical (71.8 to 93.3%) and clinical animals (100%) was not significantly different. However, the IFN-gamma bioassay and the absorbed ELISA were more sensitive in detecting cattle with advanced infections (80%) than those that were subclinically affected (16.7 to 33.3%).

Objective: Mycoplasmas are structurally simple pathogenic microorganisms that can cause a wide range of diseases in humans and animals and conventional antibiotic therapies of fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines are toxic to young children and young animals and macrolide resistance is increasing. In this context, new anti-mycoplasma antimicrobial agents need to be developed. 22-((4-((4-nitrophenyl)acetamido)phenyl)thio)deoxypleuromutilin (compound 16C) is a novel acetamine phenyl pleuromutilin derivative.

Routine screening for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) through point-of-care assays for at-home or community-based testing of salivary biomarkers can significantly improve patient outcomes. However, its translatability has been hindered by a dearth of biosensing devices that streamline assay procedures for rapid biomarker quantitation. To address this challenge through end-to-end engineering, we developed an in-house, all-in-one microfluidic immunosensing device that integrates on-chip vibration-enhanced incubation, magnetic-assisted separation using immune magnetic bead probes, and colorimetric readout via absorbance measurements.

To analyze the efficacy of enzyme replacement therapy and anti-drug antibody production in children with Fabry disease. The clinical data of 7 children with Fabry disease treated with enzyme replacement therapy for more than 1 year at Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from July 2021 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The basic information and the changes of related clinical indicators before and after treatment were collected.

Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to analyze the long-term effects of cortisol and aldosterone in the hair of six female Holstein calves using ELISA, across 18 calves over three seasons.
- - Results showed that cortisol levels were higher in the back region (white hair) compared to other regions and colors, and spring values were significantly higher than those in summer.
- - Additionally, aldosterone levels were found for the first time, with higher concentrations in the back region and white hair, showing seasonal variations with spring being higher than summer and winter.
