1. The in vitro metabolism of a novel CCK-B antagonist ((+)-N-[1-adamantane-1-methyl)-2,4-dioxo-5-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H- 1, 5-benzodiazepin-3-yl]N'-phenyl-urea; GV150013X) was investigated using rat, dog and human liver microsomes. 2. Four monohydroxy and four dihydroxy metabolites of GV150013X in rat and man were identified by comparison with authentic standards using HPLC and mass spectrometry. 3. The dihydroxy metabolite M1 was not detected in dog liver microsomes mixtures. 4. The formation of dihydroxylated metabolites proceeds via monohydroxylated metabolites M5 and M8 and not directly from GV150013X. 5. A monohydroxy metabolite M5 was the major metabolite in rat and dog, with M5 and dihydroxy metabolites M2 and M3 major metabolites in man.

This study aimed to identify and compare risk factors associated with canine leptospirosis and Leptospira seropositivity in New South Wales, Australia. Seventy-nine canine cases of confirmed leptospirosis (clinical cases) and 16 healthy dogs seropositive to Leptospira (seropositive cases) were included in the study; these were separately compared to 394 healthy dogs seronegative to Leptospira (controls) in at-risk areas. A questionnaire investigated rat contact, stagnant water, dog park access and household number of dogs and cats.

Rickettsiae are a family of ectoparasite-borne bacteria that can produce high morbidity and mortality among humans. There are scarce data on rickettsial ecology in rural areas of the Peruvian Amazon basin, where seroprevalence has not been determined, and the identities of animals acting as reservoirs of these bacteria are not known. We conducted a cross-sectional study in Zungarococha (between 2019 and 2021), a rural community located approximately 20 km away from Iquitos city.

Article Synopsis
  • The implementation of bone substitute materials has led to advancements in bone regeneration strategies, with a focus on histomorphometry for assessing bone structure.
  • A systematic review analyzed 118 studies from the past decade, revealing that rats are the most commonly used animal model for research, with toluidine blue being the preferred staining method.
  • Key histomorphometric parameters evaluated included new bone formation and mineral apposition rate, with calcein green favored for dynamic histomorphometry, while the review also highlighted weaknesses in current research protocols.

The p38α-MK2 signaling axis plays an important role in the inflammatory response of cells. Here, we carried out a series of optimizations on CDD-450, aiming to enhance inhibition of the p38α-MK2 complex and improve pharmacokinetic properties. First, the magic F strategy was utilized to obtain compound , which displayed a 60-fold increase in tumor necrosis factor α inhibition and a 600-fold increase in interleukin-6 inhibition.

Introduction: Laboratory animals are widely used in biomedical research. Surveillance of naturally occurring virus in laboratory animals is important to fully understand the results of animal experiment, control laboratory-acquired infections among research personnel and manage viral transmission within laboratory animal populations. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of multiple RNA viruses in laboratory animals commonly used in China.
