We studied the effect of urinary urea concentration on the hemolysin production and cytotoxicity of the uropathogenic Morganella morganii strain MM 190. The highest hemolytic activity of M. morganii cultivated in urine with low urea concentration (23 and 82 mmol/liter) was observed between 3rd and 4th hours of post-inoculation, while in urine with standard urea level (117 mmol/liter), the activity was observed at 5th hour of post-inoculation. Our findings indicate a correlation between this activity and the expression of the hlyA gene. Bacterial culture fluid containing hemolysin caused the death of up to 40% of urothelial cells; cytotoxicity was more pronounced against OKP-GS kidney carcinoma cells compared to T-24 bladder carcinoma cells. Hence, in urine with higher urea concentrations, hemolytic activity of bacteria was observed at later stages of growth, and this culture fluid exhibited higher cytotoxicity.

The aim of this study was to clarify the taxonomic identification of a hemoflagellate and assess the effect of trypanosome infection on Larimichthys crocea. Giemsa staining showed the presence of three morphotypes of trypomastigotes. The trypanosomes had the following morphological characteristics: a slender body with a long flagellum at the front; body size 12.

Protein A chromatography represents the most prevalent methodology for the capture of monoclonal antibodies. The use of a low pH elution buffer from Protein A has been observed to contribute to product aggregation, particularly in the case of IgG4 antibodies, such as nivolumab. This paper presents a well-defined strategy for addressing this issue.

Introduction: Datura stramonium (DS) possesses strong medicinal and therapeutic potential but has been rarely evaluated in this context.
Methods: The present study was intended to evaluate the antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and nephroprotective potential of the crude methanolic leaf extract and ethyl acetate, chloroform, n-hexane, and aqueous fractions of DS in paracetamol-intoxicated rabbits. Paracetamol (2 g/Kg BW) was applied to induce liver and kidney injury in rabbits while the methanolic extract and fractions of DS were applied in the dose range of 150 mg/Kg to 300 mg/Kg body weight for 21 days.
