The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significantly increased human exposure to the widely used disinfectants quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs). Xenobiotic metabolism serves a critical role in the clearance of environmental molecules, yet limited data are available on the routes of QAC metabolism or metabolite levels in humans. To address this gap and to advance QAC biomonitoring capabilities, we analyzed 19 commonly used QACs and their phase I metabolites by liquid chromatography-ion mobility-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-IM-MS/MS)...

BACKGROUND: Curable sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae ( N. gonorrhoeae ), are a major cause of poor pregnancy outcomes. The infection is often asymptomatic in pregnant women, and a syndrome-based approach of testing leads to a missed diagnosis. Culture followed by microscopy is inadequate and time-consuming. The gold standard nucleic acid amplification tests require advanced infrastructure settings, whereas point-of-care tests are limited to immunoassays with sensitivities and specificities insufficient to accurately diagnose asymptomatic cases...

Polymeric materials are being increasingly used to replace many metallic components due to their beneficial properties such as higher strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. However, the widespread use of polymers poses a risk to the environment as they are not biodegradable. The addition of the waste jute fiber and sawdust fiber as reinforcement to the epoxy resin improved its toughness and induced the biodegradability of the polymer. To examine the effect of the jute fiber and sawdust fiber on biodegradability, the composites were then kept in the drainage system for one year, and the impact energy and fracture morphology of the as-cast and weathered samples were examined using a drop ball impact test and a Charpy impact test...

Cholesteryl sulfate (CS) was quantitatively synthesized by microwave-assisted sulfonation of cholesterol followed by sodium exchange chromatography. In vitro effects of CS on human thrombin and other serine proteases of the coagulation and fibrinolysis processes were investigated using a series of biochemical and biophysical techniques. CS was found to inhibit thrombin with an IC 50 value of 140.8 ± 21.8 μM at pH 7.4 and 25 ○ C. Michaelis-Menten kinetics indicated that thrombin inhibition by CS is non-competitive (allosteric) in nature...

The uncanny valley (UV) effect captures the observation that artificial entities with near-human appearances tend to create feelings of eeriness. Researchers have proposed many hypotheses to explain the UV effect, but the visual processing mechanisms of the UV have yet to be fully understood. In the present study, we examined if the UV effect is as accessible in brief stimulus exposures compared to long stimulus exposures (Experiment 1). Forty-one participants, aged 21-31, rated each human-robot face presented for either a brief (50 ms) or long duration (3 s) in terms of attractiveness, eeriness, and humanness (UV indices) in a 7-point Likert scale...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which immune cells and inflammatory cytokines are abnormally activated, leading to immunoregulatory dysfunction in the body and triggering systemic inflammatory responses. The interaction between CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and heterotrimeric G-protein α-subunit Gαq (Gnαq) activates phospholipase Cβ (PLCβ), which influences the expression of downstream effectors and participates widely in the onset and development of various diseases, thus suggesting the potential involvement of these molecules in RA pathogenesis...

Specialized metabolites possess diverse interesting biological activities and some cardenolides- and monoterpene indole alkaloids- (MIAs) derived pharmaceuticals are currently used to treat human diseases such as cancers or hypertension. While these two families of biocompounds are produced by specific subfamilies of Apocynaceae , one member of this medicinal plant family, the succulent tree Pachypodium lamerei Drake (also known as Madagascar palm), does not produce such specialized metabolites. To explore the evolutionary paths that have led to the emergence and loss of cardenolide and MIA biosynthesis in Apocynaceae , we sequenced and assembled the P...
