It has been demonstrated that chicken TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid of subtype-1) is insensitive to capsaicin (CAP), and therefore, a chicken model is suitable to analyze the CAP-sensitive TRPV1-independent pathway. We elucidated here the possible involvement of the pathway in hypothermia induced by bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) in chickens. Chicks were pretreated with CAP (10 mg/kg, iv) at 1, 2 and 3 days of age to desensitize them towards the CAP-sensitive pathway. An intravenous injection of LPS in 4-day-old chicks caused progressive hypothermia, ending with collapse and 78% mortality within 12 h after injection. The CAP pretreatment rescued the LPS-induced endotoxin shock and hypothermia in chicks. LPS-induced iNOS expression as well as NO production in liver and lung was suppressed by CAP pretreatment. CAP pretreatment also attenuated hypothermia due to exposure of chicks to cold ambient temperature. These findings suggest that a CAP-sensitive TRPV1-independent pathway may be involved in pathophysiological hypothermic reactions through the mediation of NO in chickens.

Influence of surface pretreatment using cold-active atmospheric pressure plasma on bond strength of CAD-CAM-fabricated hybrid ceramic crowns: an in-vitro study.
Int J Implant Dent
December 2024
Department for Prosthetic Dentistry and Materials, University Medical Centre, Augustusplatz 2, 55131, Mainz, Germany.
Purpose: This study assesses the impact of Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma (CAP) pretreatment on the bond strength of two-piece hybrid ceramic abutment crowns in implant dentistry. The objective is to ascertain whether CAP can be employed as an alternative or complementary technique to conventional methods.
Methods: 80 titanium bases and 80 VITA ENAMIC polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) crowns were divided into 8 groups (n = 10) based on different surface pretreatments of the crowns before cementation: no treatment (A), hydrofluoric acid (HF) (B), HF and silane (C), silane (D), CAP (AP), HF and CAP (BP), HF, CAP, and silane (CP), and CAP and silane (DP).

Edible oil safety impacts food safety and consumer health. The typical pollutants-aflatoxin B (AFB) and benzo(α)pyrene (BaP), and kitchen waste oil-are significant hazards in edible oil consumption. Herein, we developed a dual-readout lateral flow immunoassay (tdLFIA) for the multi-quantitative detection of AFB, BaP and capsaicin (CAP).

Article Synopsis
- In sepsis, macrophages play a crucial role in acute lung injury (ALI), and previous research showed that Iron-capsaicin-based nanoparticles (Fe-CAP NPs) can reduce inflammation associated with ALI.
- The study involved treating bone marrow-derived macrophages and mice with LPS and observing changes in inflammatory markers and cellular behavior, using various laboratory techniques.
- Results indicated that Fe-CAP NPs decreased harmful macrophage activity (reflected by reduced CD86 and increased CD206 expression), lowered levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and improved lung tissue health, suggesting their potential therapeutic benefits in sepsis-induced ALI.

Objectives: Evaluate the remineralisation ability of experimental resin-based materials containing Fluoride-Doped Calcium Phosphate (FDCP), applied in mineral-deficient dentine in combination with a biomimetic dual-analogue primer.
Methods: Artificial dentine carious lesions were created in occlusal cavities of human molars. An experimental resin-based adhesive and flowable composite, containing FDCP (10wt% and 20wt%, respectively), were applied (±) with a biomimetic primer containing polyacrylic acid and sodium tripolyphosphate.
Circulating tumor DNA status and dynamics predict recurrence in patients with resected extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Background & Aims: Surgery is the only curative therapeutic option for resectable extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, but recurrence is common, and prognosis is poor. There is an unmet clinical need for improved decision-making regarding adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT). Herein, we evaluated the usefulness of monitoring longitudinal circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for molecular residual disease (MRD) in patients from the STAMP trial, which compares the efficacy of adjuvant capecitabine (CAP) vs.
