In the present study, an attempt has been made to explore the antifouling potential of bioactive compound isolated from sponge associated bacterium Halobacillus kuroshimensis SNSAB01. The crude extract of SNSAB01 strongly inhibited the growth of fouling bacterial strains with least minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The bioactive compound was characterized through FT-IR, HPLC, GCMS and NMR predicted as 'pyrrolo". From the mass spectral library, structure was elucidated as pyrrolo [1, 2-a] pyrazine-1, 4-dione, hexahydro. The in silico studies provided encouraging docking scores with two interactions by GLN 200 and GLU 304. The extract inhibited 89% diatom adhesion at 350 μg/ml concentration against Amphora sp. An EC value of 150 μg/ml for 50% inhibition of byssal thread of Perna viridis and LC was found to be 500 μg/ml. The LC/EC ratio of 3.0 indicated nontoxic to nature. The result suggested that pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione can be used for antifouling coating.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant global health concern, with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection being a major contributor. Understanding the mechanisms of HBV-associated HCC is crucial to improving the prognosis and developing effective treatments.
Methods: HBV-associated HCC datasets (GSE19665, GSE121248, GSE55092, GSE94660, and TCGA-LIHC) acquired from public databases were mined to identify key driver genes by differentially expressed gene analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), followed by protein-protein interaction network analysis, Lasso-Cox regression analysis, and randomforestSRC algorithm.

Pediatric low-grade glioma (PLGG) is a heterogeneous group of primary central nervous system malignancies which represent the most frequent brain tumors in children. Although diagnosis and treatment of PLGG have been improved recently, the molecular mechanisms underlying the oncogenesis and progression of PLGG remain elusive. Studies have revealed critical roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in brain tumor progressions.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of two absorbable hemostatic agents, oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) and gelatin sponge, on wound healing in a rat model of penile fracture.
Materials And Methods: A total of 32 Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: Control (C), Primary Suturing (PS), ORC, and Gelatin Sponge (GS). A penile fracture model was created in all rats, and wound healing was assessed histopathologically after two weeks.

Background: Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) accounts for about 40% of ALI, accompanied by alveolar epithelial injury. The study aimed to reveal the role of circular RNA_0114428 (circ_0114428) in sepsis-induced ALI.
Methods: Human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells (HPAEpiCs) were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to mimic a sepsis-induced ALI cell model.

Dry socket, a common painful complication after tooth extraction, is typically caused by improper blood clot formation or its premature dislodgement, often exacerbated by bacterial infections. Traditional gelatin sponges, widely used as clinical fillers, provide favorable biocompatibility and hemostatic support but suffer from suboptimal hemostatic efficiency, lack of antimicrobial properties, and insufficient anticoagulant factors, which increase the risk of dry socket. Addressing these limitations, a novel tannic acid cross-linked gelatin sponge has been developed using directional lyophilization.
