They are commonly found as saprophytes on decaying wood and have been reported as disease-causing pathogens in humans as well.

Novel intranasal phage-CaEDTA-ceftazidime/avibactam triple combination therapy demonstrates remarkable efficacy in treating Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection.

Given the rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, alternative treatments are needed. Anti-pseudomonal phage therapy shows promise, but its clinical application is limited due to the development of resistance and a lack of biofilm penetration. Recently, adjuvants like CaEDTA have shown the ability to enhance the effectiveness of combined antimicrobial agents.

Overexpression of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 9 (ADAM9) in relation to poor prognosis of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma.

This study investigates the expressions of ADAM9, CDCP1 and t-PA in OSCC and their impacts on patient prognosis. Previous research has demonstrated the overexpression of ADAM9 and activation of plasminogen activator in OSCC, but CDCP1's role remains unexplored. While these biomolecules are known to contribute to lung cancer metastasis, their concurrent expressions in OSCC have not been thoroughly examined.

Two new species of and a new species of (Phaeosphaeriaceae, Pleosporales) from grasslands in Yunnan Province, China.

During our investigation of microfungi on grasslands in Yunnan Province, China, three new fungal taxa associated with grasses were collected. Morphological observations and phylogenetic analyses of the combined SSU, LSU, ITS, , and loci based on maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference were used to reveal the taxonomic placement of these fungal taxa. This study introduces , , is characterized by ampulliform or globose to subglobose conidiogenous cells, with conidia that are cylindrical to subcylindrical, 0-1-septate, rounded at the apex and slightly truncate at the base.

The adoption of self-service check-in kiosks among commercial airline passengers.

This study examines passenger adoption of self-service check-in kiosks based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and its extension. This study investigated the relationships between three independent variables (technology self-efficacy, need for human interaction, and perceived enjoyment) and two TAM's cognitive variables (perceived usefulness and ease of use). The analysis of these relationships is novel in aviation self-service technology research.

Acremochlorin S and other prenylated chlorophenol antimicrobial metabolites from the fungus Acremonium sp. Strain MNA-F-1.

Chemical prospection for the mycelial extract of the fungus Acremonium sp. Strain MNA-F-1, derived from the inner tissue of anise roots (Pimpnella anisum L., family Apiaceae), led to the isolation and characterization of one previously undescribed natural product, acremochlorin S (1), together with five related derivatives (2-6) and an alkaloidal metabolite, ilicicolin H (7).

Impact of physical activity on life satisfaction among middle-aged and older adults in China: A longitudinal national study.

Objective: This study examined the impact of physical activity on life satisfaction in middle-aged and older adults in China. Utilizing longitudinal data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) conducted in 2015 and 2018, a total of 6484 participants aged 45 or older were included in the analysis.

Methods: Data were collected on sociodemographic, health, and lifestyle variables, physical activity, and life satisfaction.

Impact of environmental storage conditions on properties and stability of a smart bilayer film.

This study aimed to investigate the behavior of smart bilayer films under various temperature and relative humidity (RH). Smart bilayer films were fabricated using sodium alginate with incorporated butterfly pea anthocyanin and agar containing catechin-lysozyme. Cellulose nanospheres were added at concentrations of 0% and 10% w/w of the film and subjected to test at 4 °C and 25 °C, considering different RHs (0%, 50%, and 80%).

Effects of dyadic interventions on psychological outcomes among cancer patients with non-active treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Cancer and its treatment can generate substantial psychological distress (depression and anxiety). The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to explore the effectiveness of dyadic interventions on psychological outcomes in cancer patients with non-active treatment and to test subgroup analyses to explore the source of heterogeneity affecting effect sizes.

Design: Systematic searching across eight databases identified studies related to dyadic interventions for psychological outcomes of cancer patients published between 2007 and 2022.

Effects of Thai propolis mixed in mineral trioxide aggregate on matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression and activity in inflamed human dental pulp cells.

Objectives: This study sought to determine effects of Thai propolis extract mixed in mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) on matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) expression and its activity in inflamed human dental pulp cells (HDPCs).

Materials And Methods: Interleukin-1β-primed HDPCs were treated with either the eluate of MTA mixed with distilled water, of MTA mixed with 0.75 mg/ml of the propolis extract, or of Dycal®, 0.

Novel and (Tubeufiaceae, Tubeufiales) species and two new host records of on tropical palms (Arecaceae) from China.

Asexual species of Tubeufiaceae are characterised as helicosporous hyphomycetes and are abundantly discovered in tropical and subtropical regions. The present study collected helicosporous fungal samples from rotting tissues of , and in Xishuangbanna, Yunan Province, China. Fungal isolates were identified, based on the morphological characteristics and multi-gene phylogeny with DNA sequence data of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), part of the large subunit nuclear rRNA gene (LSU), translation elongation factor 1-alpha gene ( 1-) and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit gene (2).

Role of Mandukparni (Centella asiatica Linn Urban) in neurological disorders: Evidence from ethnopharmacology and clinical studies to network enrichment analysis.

Centella asiatica Linn Urban (C. asiatica), aka Mandukparni, is one of the flagship herbs used in traditional medicines to effectively manage neurological problems.

Short-Term Treatment of Melatonin Improves the Expression of Cell Adhesion Molecules in the Testis of the Mouse Cryptorchidism Model.

Melatonin plays a major role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle and enhancing testosterone production. We investigated the short-term effects of melatonin treatment for 14 consecutive days in the cryptorchidism model. We categorized experimental mice into Sham (S), Orchiopexy (O), Melatonin (Mel), and Orchiopexy + Melatonin (OMel) groups.

overexpression inhibits colorectal cancer cell migration through the regulation of epithelial‑mesenchymal transition.

The advancement of tumor cell metastasis is significantly influenced by epithelial‑to‑mesenchymal transition (EMT), and metastasis is a prominent contributor to the mortality of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC). AT‑rich interactive domain‑containing protein 1A (ARID1A), which acts as a tumor suppressor, frequently exhibits a loss‑of‑function mutation in metastatic CRC tissues. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of ARID1A relating to EMT remain poorly understood.
