As a novel microbe inactivation strategy, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) technology has attracted great attractions in the past two decades. This study demonstrated that the CAP treatment was a robust inactivation approach for P. aeruginosa. Air and nitrogen-CAP achieved 100 % inactivation efficiency in 5 and 9 min, respectively. Furthermore, the inactivation mechanisms were explained by measuring several physicochemical indexes, including the characteristics of bacterial suspension, cell membrane integrity, cell viability, and the concentration of intracellular substances. The possible inactivation mechanisms might be that the RONS generated by air and nitrogen attacked the cell envelope, resulted in the leakage of intracellular substances; meanwhile, RONS also destroyed the intracellular anti-oxidative system, accelerated the oxidative stress and disrupted the intracellular redox homeostasis, subsequently the death of the cells. Moreover, the inactivation application in chicken breasts proved CAP could be a novel sanitizing process in practical industries.

Ginkgolide B (GB) is a bioactive constituent found in Ginkgo biloba leaves that has been long recognized as a protective agent against many neurological disorders. Our study aimed to examine the effect of GB in an in vitro Parkinson's disease (PD) model and to investigate its neuroprotective mechanism as a primary objective. SK-N-SH cells were challenged with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP) to act as a PD-like model of neuronal damage.

Streptococcal pyogenic exotoxins (Spe proteins) secreted by (group A , GAS) are responsible for scarlet fever and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. Most Spes are superantigens that cause excessive inflammation by activating large numbers of T cells. However, Streptococcal pyogenic exotoxin B (SpeB) is an exception, which is pro-inflammatory through its protease activity.

Background: Non-thyroidal illness syndrome is commonly observed in critically ill patients, characterized by the inactivation of systemic thyroid hormones (TH), which aggravates metabolic dysfunction. Recent evidence indicates that enhanced TH inactivation is mediated by the reactivation of type 3 deiodinase (Dio3) at the tissue level, culminating in a perturbed local metabolic equilibrium. This study assessed whether targeted inhibition of Dio3 can maintain tissue metabolic homeostasis under septic conditions and explored the mechanism behind Dio3 reactivation.

The non-polio Enteroviruses (NPEVs), consist of enteroviruses, coxsackieviruses, echoviruses, and rhinoviruses, are causative agents for a wide variety of diseases, ranging from common cold to encephalitis and acute flaccid paralysis (AFP). In recent years, several NPEVs have become serious public health threats, include EV-A71, which has caused epidemics of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HMFD) in Southeast Asia, and EV-D68, which caused outbreaks of severe respiratory disease in children worldwide. Infections with these viruses are associated with neurological diseases like aseptic meningitis and AFP.

The process of decision making is a complex procedure influenced by both external and internal conditions. Songbirds provide an excellent model to investigate the neural mechanisms of decision making, because females rely on acoustic signals called songs as important stimuli in directing their mate choice. Previous experiments by our group and others have implicated secondary auditory brain sites in female evaluation of song quality, including the caudal portions of the nidopallium (NC) and mesopallium (CM).
