Two suspect aneugens (hydroquinone and econazole nitrate) were examined for their ability to induce micronuclei in a number of V79 Chinese hamster cell lines which express rat cytochrome P-450 cDNAs. Hydroquinone elevated micronucleated cell frequencies in a dose-dependent manner in cell lines V79, XEM2 (expresses CYP1A1) and SD1 (expresses CYP2B1). Econazole nitrate was an effective inducer of micronuclei over a narrow dose range in cell lines V79, XEM2 and XEMd-MZ (expresses CYP1A2). The different cell lines showed similar responses to the test agents, indicating that hydroquinone is not a substrate for biotransformation by rat CYP1A1 or CYP2B1, nor is econazole nitrate biotransformed by rat CYP1A1 or CYP1A2.

The objective of this study is to analyze the detection rate, the pathogenic fungus distribution, risk factors and drug sensitivity of fungal infection of external auditory canal in patients diagnosed with chronic otitis media. The data of a total of 419 patients with chronic suppurative otitis media or middle ear cholesteatoma who were admitted from January 2019 to February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 419 patients were included, and 71 patients（16.

Sterols are produced via complex, multistep biosynthetic pathways involving similar enzymatic conversions in plants, animals and fungi, yielding a variety of sterol metabolites with slightly different chemical properties to exert diverse and specific functions. A tremendously diverse landscape of sterols, and sterol-derived compounds, can be found across the plant kingdom, determining a wide spectrum of functions. Resolving the underlying biosynthetic pathways is thus instrumental to understanding the function and use of these molecules.

The widespread use of sub-therapeutic antibiotics may lead to treatment failures, increased resistance to antibiotics, and even the encouragement of the formation of superbugs. Fraudulent herbal medicines that actually contain unlabeled active ingredients are a global problem. Therefore, streamlined and accurate analytical techniques that can identify and quantify a variety of antimicrobials in suspected illegal products are required.

Article Synopsis
- Adaptation of fungal strains to antiseptics can undermine the effectiveness of antibiotics, yet previous studies have not focused on this area.
- This study evaluated how fungal strains adapted to eight different antiseptics, finding that octenidine and chlorhexidine were the most effective, while others showed varying levels of effectiveness.
- The research indicated that while most antiseptics retained their efficacy, sodium hypochlorite and potassium permanganate risk losing effectiveness due to adaptation, especially at clinical concentrations.
