Dermal Fibroblast-Derived Exosomes Promotes Bone-to-Tendon Interface Healing of Chronic Rotator Cuff Tear in Rabbit Model.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of exosomes derived from dermal fibroblasts (DF-Ex) on bone-to-tendon interface (BTI) healing in a chronic rotator cuff tear (RCT) model of rabbit.

Methods: After extraction of DF-Ex, the characterization of DF-Ex was identified in the in vitro study. In the in vivo experiment, 48 rabbits were randomly allocated into 3 groups.

Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway participating in the progression of epilepsy via regulation of oxidative stress and ferroptosis in neurons.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)/Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and Epilepsy (EP), as well as its mechanism of action.

Methods: Thirty Wistar rats were divided into a control group (without treatment), a model group (EP modeling), and an inhibition group (EP modeling + intervention by Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway inhibitor ATRA) and subject to Morris water maze experiment. Then, the expression of Oxidative Stress (OS) markers, ferroptosis-associated proteins and Keap1/Nrf2 pathway in rat hippocampus was measured.

Effects of imperatorin on airway remodeling in bronchial asthma through S1PR2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

In this study, we analyzed the effect of Imperatorin (IMP) on airway remodeling in bronchial asthma (BA) through the S1PR2/STAT3 signaling pathway. First, 30 BALB/c mice were randomized into control, model, and intervention groups. The control group was left untreated; the model and intervention groups were BA modeled and; the intervention group was further intraperitoneally injected with IMP following modeling.

LncRNA FTX inhibits hippocampal neuron apoptosis by regulating miR-21-5p/SOX7 axis in a rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy.

Emerging evidence has shown that long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) is involved in the development of epileptogenesis. However, the expression profile and the biological function of FTX in epilepsy remains unclear. This study aimed to provide functional evidence and elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which the FTX affects status epilepticus (SE) induced hippocampal apoptosis.

Autoinducer2 affects trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole susceptibility in avian pathogenic Escherichia coli dependent on the folate synthesis-associate pathway.

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) causes airsacculitis, polyserositis, septicemia, and other mainly extraintestinal diseases in chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, and other avian species, and is responsible for great economic losses in the avian industry. The autoinducer 2 (AI-2) quorum sensing system is widely present in many species of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and has been proposed to be involved in interspecies communication. In clinical APEC strains, whether or not AI-2 affects the expression of antibiotic-related genes has not been reported.

Imidazole decreases the ampicillin resistance of an Escherichia coli strain isolated from a cow with mastitis by inhibiting the function of autoinducer 2.

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-positive Escherichia coli is an important causative agent of mastitis in dairy cows that results in reduced milk production and quality, and is responsible for severe economic losses in the dairy industry worldwide. The quorum sensing signaling molecule autoinducer 2 (AI-2) is produced by many species of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, and might be a universal language for intraspecies and interspecies communication. Our previous work confirmed that exogenous AI-2 increases the antibiotic resistance of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-positive E.

Ethanol extract of Sanguisorba officinalis L. inhibits biofilm formation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in an ica-dependent manner.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important nosocomial pathogen that shows resistance to many antibiotics and is usually associated with serious infections. Having the ability for biofilm formation increases resistance to antibiotics. Sanguisorba officinalis L.
