Article Abstract
Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury is inevitable during intestinal transplantation (ITx) and executes a key role in the evolution towards rejection. Paneth cells (PCs) are crucial for epithelial immune defense and highly vulnerable to ischemia-reperfusion injury. We investigated the effect of ITx on PC after reperfusion (T0), during follow-up, and rejection. Moreover, we investigated whether PC loss was associated with impaired graft homeostasis.
Methods: Endoscopic biopsies, collected according to center protocol and at rejection episodes, were retrospectively included (n = 28 ITx, n = 119 biopsies) Biopsies were immunohistochemically co-stained for PC (lysozyme) and apoptosis, and PC/crypt and lysozyme intensity were scored.
Results: We observed a decrease in PC/crypt and lysozyme intensity in the first week after ITx (W1) compared with T0. There was a tendency towards a larger decline in PC/crypt (P = 0.08) and lysozyme intensity (P = 0.08) in W1 in patients who later developed rejection compared with patients without rejection. Follow-up biopsies showed that the PC number recovered, whereas lysozyme intensity remained reduced. This persisting innate immune defect may contribute to the well-known vulnerability of the intestine to infection. There was no clear evidence that PCs were affected throughout rejection.
Conclusions: This study revealed a transient fall in PC numbers in the early post-ITx period but a permanent reduction in lysozyme intensity following ITx. Further research is needed to determine the potential clinical impact of PC impairment after ITx.

The antibacterial efficacy of yeast glycoprotein (YG) against Vibrio alginolyticus (VA) and its potential benefits for sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) health and growth were investigated. A total of 844 proteins were identified in YG, with the top 30 ranked by iBAQ (intensity-based Absolute Quantification, a metric reflecting protein abundance) values for further analysis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of YG against V.

This study explored the mechanism by which ultrasound (0-180 W) assisted ethanol (25 % and 30 %) enhances the gel properties of egg white gel (EWG). The results showed that ultrasonic treatment (stabilized at 120 W) prominently improved hardness, springiness and water holding capacity (WHC) (approximately 2 times, 1.5 times and 1.

In order to improve the stability, biocompatibility, and emissions of aqueous I-III-VI ternary quantum dots (QDs we report for the first time the one-pot two-step green synthesis method with proteins serving as modifier. As a proof of concept, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and lysozyme (Lys) modified CuInS@ZnS ternary core-shell QDs were synthesized respectively. The results indicate that proteins have no influence on the morphology, composition, and lattice of quantum dots.

Mode of interaction between fluorescent probe and local binding site on fibril architecture is central to the design of efficient amyloid sensors. SYPRO orange (SO) is reported to have two binding modes with two distinct binding configurations, namely weakly bound inclined and strongly bound surface hugging populations. Though two distinct sites for non-radiative relaxation, i.

Molecular imprinting is known as a method for synthesizing materials that selectively adsorb specific molecules. The polymers obtained by this method are inexpensive, highly chemically stable, and easy to prepare, but there is a problem that definite and easy detection of the adsorption of target molecules is difficult. We aimed to achieve selective fluorescence detection of proteins by introducing fluorescent molecules into a molecularly imprinted hydrogel (MIH).
