The An-Ident strip system (Analytab Products Inc., St-Laurent, Quebec, Canada) was evaluated for its ability to differentiate Treponema hyodysenteriae from Treponema innocens. Of the 20 tests included on this strip, 15 yielded identical results for the two species. Among the other five assays, none could be considered as a positive discriminator for the two species. However, when an indole spot test with 1% p-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde was used in parallel, all reference strains and 97% of the isolates of T. hyodysenteriae were positive, whereas all isolates of T. innocens were negative. Our results indicate that An-Indent is of little value for the differentiation of the two species. Our results also suggest that a rapid and simple differentiation between T. hyodysenteriae and T. innocens can be achieved by using the hemolysis and ring phenomenon tests in conjunction with an indole spot test.

A novel stable biomimetic adhesive coating for functionalization of orthodontic brackets against bacterial colonization and white spot lesions.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Oral Technology, University Hospital Bonn, 53111, Bonn, Germany.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of polydopamine (PDA) functionalization on orthodontic brackets in inhibiting biofilm formation and promoting surface bioactivity to buffer the acidity of caries-causing bacteria around orthodontic brackets and prevent demineralization. The stability of the coating in artificial saliva (AS) and distilled water was evaluated, along with its effect on pH changes in simulated body fluid (SBF) and distilled water.
Methods: Maxillary incisor orthodontic brackets underwent PDA functionalization using a dopamine hydrochloride solution following a specific protocol.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on measuring the levels of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) to help differentiate between perforated and non-perforated appendicitis, which is crucial for effective diagnosis and surgical planning.
- A total of 150 patients with acute appendicitis were evaluated, revealing a significant difference in 5-HIAA levels between the acute (0.3 mg/dl) and perforated appendicitis groups (0.5 mg/dl).
- The results indicated that 5-HIAA has a diagnostic sensitivity of 82% and a high overall accuracy of 88%, suggesting it could be a useful marker, although more extensive studies are needed to confirm these findings.*
Maeruines A-E, elusive indole alkaloids from stems of Maerua siamensis and their inhibitory effects on cyclooxygenases and HT-29 colorectal cancer cell proliferation.

Five previously undescribed indole alkaloids, maeruines A-E (1-5), bearing imino-2H-thieno[2,3-b]indol-3(8H)-one skeleton, were obtained from the stems of Maerua siamensis. Their chemical structures were elucidated using spectroscopic techniques [NMR, MS, IR, and UV], and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Maeruine D (4) displayed selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitory activity in vitro with an IC of 29.

ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5) is a major light-associated transcription factor involved in plant growth and development. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the role of HY5 is very well defined in regulating primary root growth and lateral root formation; however, information regarding its role in root hair development is still lacking, and little is known about the genetic pathways regulating this process. In this study, we investigated the role of HY5 and its associated components in root hair development.
