Article Abstract
Antimicrobial susceptibility was examined using 89 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 isolates obtained from diarrhea patients in Aichi Prefecture, Japan between June 1996 and June 1997. Among the 89 isolates, 15 (16.9%) were found to be resistant to 6 of 9 antibiotics examined. These 6 antibiotics were ampicillin (ABPC), cefaloridine (CER), chloramphenicol (CP), kanamycin (KM), streptomycin (SM), and tetracycline (TC). Among the 15 drug-resistant isolates, 7 were resistant to 4 drugs (ABPC, CER, SM, TC), 3 were resistant to 3 (ABPC and 2 of CER, SM, TC), 2 were resistant to 2 (SM, TC), one each to KM or SM. Another isolate showed resistance to 5 drugs (ABPC, CP, KM, SM, TC). Selected 13 drug-sensitive and selected 12 multi-drug resistant isolates were tested for the presence of plasmids. All of the drug-sensitive isolates had 54 MDa plasmid and the majority (8/13) had 2.0 MDa plasmids, whereas; all of the drug-resistant isolates except one (1/12) had 54 MDa plasmid and the majority had 8.0 MDa (9/12) and 4.2 MDa (11/12) plasmids. The first transformation test revealed that plasmids of 8.0 MDa (3/4) and 46 MDa (1/4) were transferred to a donor cell with ABPC resistance. 54 MDa plasmid was transferred to a donor cell with both of ABPC and TC resistance. In the second transformation test, only the 8.0 MDa plasmid was confirmed to be transferred to a donor cell with ABPC resistance. Accordingly, it was indicated that the ABPC resistant gene was carried on 8.0 MDa plasmid, and it was suggested that resistant genes for ABPC and TC, and ABPC were carried on 54 MDa, and on 46 MDa plasmids, respectively.

Mammalian peroxiredoxin (Prx) maintains redox equilibrium and protects cells from oxidative stress by eliminating the accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Studies have revealed that members of the Prx family play important roles in multiple processes, including oxidative defense, redox signaling, protein folding, cell cycle progression, DNA integrity, inflammation, and carcinogenesis. However, research on Prx molecules in invertebrates has been insufficient to draw definite conclusions.

Antioxidative neuroprotection is effective at preventing ischemic stroke (IS). Ferulic acid (FA) offers benefits in the treatment of many diseases, mostly due to its antioxidant activities. In this study, a glycosylated ferulic acid conjugate (FA-Glu), with 1,2,3-triazole as a linker and bioisostere between glucose at the C6 position and FA at the C4 position, was designed and synthesized.

Background: Endothelial cell apoptosis and oxidative stress are pivotal drivers of atherosclerosis (AS) progression. It was revealed that spectrin beta, non-erythrocytic 1 (SPTBN1) levels were remarkably decreased in the atherosclerotic plaque vessels of advanced lesions. This study aimed to elucidate the roles of SPTBN1 in endothelial dysfunction during AS progression.

Background: Nobiletin, a major component derived from the natural product Citrus reticulata Blanco, has been shown to exhibit potent anti-cancer activity across various cancer types. However, the mechanisms underlying its anti-breast cancer effects, particularly in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), remain poorly understood.
Purpose: The study aims to explore the role of nobiletin in promoting ferroptosis in TNBC by targeting aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C1 (AKR1C1) to facilitate ubiquitination and degradation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4).

Background: Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), a hypoxia-responsive mediator in myocardial injury, is established as a mitochondrial stress biomarker in skeletal muscle. However, its mechanistic role in regulating mitophagy during cardiac hypoxia remains unknown.
Methods: In this study, human myocardial cells (AC16) were treated with cobalt chloride (CoCl) to induce hypoxia.
