It was shown earlier by the authors that in the presence of sodium acetate as a modifier of C. oncopelti reaction to levorin, a polyenic antibiotic sensitivity of this organism to the antibiotic increased. At the same time there were observed changes in the ratio of the lipids and fatty acids of the total lipid fraction of C. oncopelti. The changes in the lipid composition of the biological membranes influenced lipid peroxidation (LPO). The present paper deals with investigation of interrelation between increasing of C. oncopelti sensitivity to levorin in the presence of sodium acetate and LPO levels. Accumulation of the primary, secondary and final LPO products in C. oncopelti under the effect of sodium acetate, levorin (1 microgram/ml) added simultaneously with the modifier and levorin in a concentration of 10 micrograms/ml was investigated. It was shown that sodium acetate did not induce accumulation of LPO products as compared to the initial culture. Levorin added simultaneously with sodium acetate and levorin in a concentration of 10 micrograms/ml induced an increase in the content of LPO products in the C. oncopelti lipids. The causes of the LPO rate increase in the presence of the polyenic antibiotic are discussed.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) remains an intractable and relapsing disease featured by intestinal inflammation. The anti-UC activity of Akkermansia muciniphila (AKK), an intestinal microorganism, has been widely investigated. The current work is to explore the impacts of AKK on UC and its possible reaction mechanism.

Hydrogel electrolytes are crucial for solving the problems of random zinc dendrite growth, hydrogen evolution reactions, and uncontrollable passivation. However, their complex fabrication processes pose challenges to achieving large-scale production with excellent mechanical properties required to withstand multiple cycles of mechanical loads while maintaining high electrochemical performance needed for the new-generation flexible zinc-ion batteries. Herein, we present a superspreading-based strategy to produce robust hydrogel electrolytes consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, sodium alginate and sodium acetate.

Purpose: To report a case of herpes simplex virus (HSV) endotheliitis inducing acute interface fluid syndrome in a patient with a remote history of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
Methods: Case report and literature review.
Results: A 51-year-old man with a history of LASIK 16 years prior presented with unilateral HSV endotheliitis and was found to have acute interface fluid syndrome secondary to endothelial decompensation.

Volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) are prevalent human biogases detectable in individuals with periodontal disease; therefore, measuring VSC gases in human breath can yield significant, noninvasive diagnostic information indicative of such diseases. In this study, we developed a gas sensor with selective and enhanced sensing capabilities for VSCs methyl mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide. This sensor comprises a cellulose paper substrate impregnated with 2,2'-dithiobis(5-nitropyridine) and sodium acetate.

Bacteriocin lactococcin036019 was identified and characterized from Lactococcus lactis NCU036019, which displayed significant antibacterial activity toward foodborne pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus under various conditions. However, the in situ low-level expression of lactococcin036019 severely limited its wide application in food industry. In this study, we optimized the medium ingredients and culture conditions of L.
