Through a combination of steps including centrifugation, ammonium sulfate gradient precipitation, sephadex G-25 gel chromatography, diethylaminoethyl cellulose 52 ion-exchange chromatography and hydroxyapatite affinity chromatography, carboxylesterase (CarE, EC3.1.1.1) from sixth instar larch caterpillar moth, Dendrolimus superans (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) larvae was purified and its biochemical properties were compared between crude homogenate and purified CarE. The final purified CarE after hydroxyapatite chromatography had a specific activity of 52.019 μmol/(min·mg protein), 138.348-fold of crude homogenate, and the yield of 2.782%. The molecular weight of the purified CarE was approximately 84.78 kDa by SDS-PAGE. Three pesticides (dichlorvos, lambda-cyhalothrin, and avermectins) showed different inhibition to crude CarE and purified CarE, respectively. In vitro median inhibitory concentration indicated that the sensitivity of CarE (both crude homogenate and final purified CarE) to pesticides was in decreasing order of dichlorvos > avermectins > lambda-cyhalothrin. By the kinetic analysis, the substrates alpha-naphthyl acetate (α-NA) and beta-naphthyl acetate (β-NA) showed lesser affinity to crude extract than purified CarE. The results also indicated that both crude homogenate and purified CarE had more affinity to α-NA than to β-NA, and the Kcat and Vmax values of crude extract were lower than purified CarE using α-NA or β-NA as substrate.

Staphylococcus aureus vesicles impair cutaneous wound healing through p38 MAPK-MerTK cleavage-mediated inhibition of macrophage efferocytosis.
Cell Commun Signal

School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, 510515, China.
Background: Staphylococcus aureus, a known contributor to non-healing wounds, releases vesicles (SAVs) that influence the delicate balance of host-pathogen interactions. Efferocytosis, a process by which macrophages clear apoptotic cells, plays a key role in successful wound healing. However, the precise impact of SAVs on wound repair and efferocytosis remains unknown.

This study is the first to conduct a sero-surveillance of Bovine Tropical Theileriosis (BTT) caused by the protozoan parasite Theileria annulata (T. annulata) using a recombinant Tams1 protein-based dot-ELISA in cattle, and to compare its efficacy with plate-ELISA, single PCR, nested PCR, and blood microscopy. The goal was to identify the most effective method for the early and accurate detection of theileriosis, which significantly impacts livestock through reduced milk yield and increased mortality.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the predictive value of cytokine levels (MIF and IL-1β) in determining responses to antidepressant treatment in 1,299 patients as part of a larger trial.
- Despite initial findings from smaller studies indicating a link between these cytokines and treatment response, the current research found no significant associations with depression score changes or treatment outcomes.
- The lack of replication raises doubts about the usefulness of these biomarkers in clinical settings for treating depression.
Cost-Utility Analysis of Add-on Cannabidiol vs Usual Care Alone for the Treatment of Seizures in Patients With Treatment-Resistant Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome or Dravet Syndrome in the Netherlands.

Article Synopsis
- Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) and Dravet syndrome (DS) are severe epilepsy types often seen in young children, and a CBD medication (Epidyolex®) has been reimbursed in the Netherlands since December 2022 to help treat their seizures.
- A cost-effectiveness analysis using a Markov model showed that using CBD along with usual care for LGS resulted in additional costs of €28,338 but provided increased quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) of 1.318, making it cost-effective below the €80,000 threshold.
- For DS patients, CBD plus usual care showed a cost saving of €23,642 while increasing QAL
