Characterization of a novel acidic phospholipase A isolated from the venom of Bothrops mattogrossensis: From purification to structural modeling.

Phospholipases A (PLAs) are highly prevalent in Bothrops snake venom and play a crucial role in inflammatory responses and immune cell activation during envenomation. Despite their significance, the specific role of PLAs from Bothrops mattogrossensis venom (BmV) in inflammation is not fully understood. This study sought to isolate and characterize a novel acidic PLA from BmV, designated BmPLA-A, and to evaluate its effects on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), with a specific focus on cytotoxicity, adhesion, and detachment.

Background: The increasing industrialization and hydrocarbon use have led to concerning soil contamination. Oil spills and improper disposal of oily waste pose threats to ecosystems and human health. The recovery of these environments is essential, but separating oily components from soil remains challenging.

Plant-Based Diet and Sports Performance.

Recently, interest in plant-based diets has grown significantly, driven by health and environmental concerns. Plant-based diets offer potential health benefits, including decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, weight management, and blood glucose regulation. This diet profile is rich in complex carbohydrates, antioxidants, dietary fiber, and phytochemicals.

Impact of organic, conventional, and stingless bee honeys on the antibacterial activity of gummy candies against oral bacteria.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the impact of organic, conventional, and stingless honey on gummy candies, focusing on the effect of the cariogenic bacterium, Streptococcus mutans UA159, and total bacterial count in saliva from adolescents.

Methods: Antimicrobial compounds in three honey samples were identified, and the minimum inhibitory concentration against S. mutans UA159 was determined.

Cm-p5, a molluscan-derived antifungal peptide exerts its activity by a membrane surface covering in a non-penetrating mode.

Amidst the health crisis caused by the rise of multi-resistant pathogenic microorganisms, Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) have emerged as a potential alternative to traditional antibiotics. In this sense, Cm-p5 is an AMP with fungistatic activity against the yeast Candida albicans. Its antimicrobial activity and selectivity have been well characterized; however, the mechanism of action is still unknown.

Quality and stability of meat products prepared with chicken fillets affected by white striping myopathy.

This study aimed to evaluate the quality and oxidative stability of chicken burger and mortadella prepared with fillets affected by white striping (WS) myopathy as compared with products prepared with normal fillets (control) There were no differences in pH, L*, or b* between treatments (WS vs. control); however, water holding capacity was higher in control burgers and mortadellas. In burgers, the use of WS fillet led to an increase in lipid content and a reduction in moisture content.

Impact of malocclusion and oral habits on oral health-related quality of life and sleep disturbance in young adults : A cross-sectional study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of malocclusion and oral habits on oral health-related quality of life and sleep disturbance in young adults.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 213 young adults aged 18-30 years. Dental occlusion data were assessed through clinical examination.

Exploring the Recognition Mechanism of Surfactant-Cyclodextrin Complex Formation: Insights from SPR Studies on Temperature and Ionic Liquid Influence.

This study examines the kinetics and thermodynamics of the inclusion complex (IC) formation between sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) and amine-modified β-cyclodextrin (βCD-NH) using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and theoretical analysis. We determined a binding constant of 10 L mol for the thermodynamically stable complex ([βCD-NH/SDBS]°) within the temperature range of 285.2-301.

Smartphone region-wise image indoor localization using deep learning for indoor tourist attraction.

Smart indoor tourist attractions, such as smart museums and aquariums, require a significant investment in indoor localization devices. The use of Global Positioning Systems on smartphones is unsuitable for scenarios where dense materials such as concrete and metal blocks weaken GPS signals, which is most often the case in indoor tourist attractions. With the help of deep learning, indoor localization can be done region by region using smartphone images.

We aimed to analyze the occurrence of VAP in critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 and the risk factors associated with the outcome.

CRISPR/Cas genome editing in soybean: challenges and new insights to overcome existing bottlenecks.

Background: Soybean is a worldwide-cultivated crop due to its applications in the food, feed, and biodiesel industries. Genome editing in soybean began with ZFN and TALEN technologies; however, CRISPR/Cas has emerged and shortly became the preferable approach for soybean genome manipulation since it is more precise, easy to handle, and cost-effective. Recent reports have focused on the conventional Cas9 nuclease, Cas9 nickase (nCas9) derived base editors, and Cas12a (formally Cpf1) as the most commonly used genome editors in soybean.
