Article Abstract

Curcumin is a natural phenylpropanoid compound with various biological activities and is widely used in food and pharmaceuticals. A curcumin biosynthetic pathway was constructed in BL21(DE3). Optimization of the curcumin biosynthesis module achieved a curcumin titer of 26.8 ± 0.6 mg/L. Regulating the metabolic fluxes of the β-oxidation pathway and fatty acid elongation cycle and blocking the endogenous malonyl-CoA consumption pathway increased the titer to 113.6 ± 7.1 mg/L. Knockout of endogenous curcumin reductase () and intermediate product detoxification by heterologous expression of the solvent-resistant pump () increased the titer to 137.5 ± 3.0 mg/L. A 5 L pilot-scale fermentation, using a three-stage pH alternation strategy, increased the titer to 696.2 ± 20.9 mg/L, 178.5-fold higher than the highest curcumin titer from biosynthesis previously reported, thereby laying the foundation for efficient biosynthesis of curcumin and its derivatives.

Importance: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is typically caused by the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) and recurs in 40% of patients. Half of patients with MCC produce antibodies to MCPyV oncoproteins, the titers of which rise with disease recurrence and fall after successful treatment.

Objective: To assess the utility of MCPyV oncoprotein antibodies for early detection of first recurrence of MCC in a real-world clinical setting.

Objective: To evaluate dynamic changes in autoantibody and proteomic profiles in treatment-naïve systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients and identify biomarkers and mechanisms associated with disease progression.

Methods: Serum samples from 30 baseline and 49 follow-up SSc patients, along with 38 controls, were analyzed. Autoantibody profiles were assessed using an autoantigen microarray targeting 120 autoantibodies, while proteomic analysis was conducted via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in data-independent acquisition mode.

Introduction: A no-biopsy approach has been suggested for diagnosing coeliac disease (CD) in adult patients. This approach is already well established in diagnosing children with CD. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase (IgA anti-tTG) in predicting duodenal mucosal lesions diagnostic of CD in adult patients.

Introduction: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) encephalitis is a neuropsychiatric disorder with additional psychiatric features caused by NMDA-R immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This report presents the follow-up of a patient in whom we assumed mild NMDA-R encephalitis in the first psychotic episode.

Case Study: A patient with a prior episode of an acute polymorphic psychotic syndrome relapsed five and a half years later following a severe COVID-19 infection.

Objective: Our objective was to estimate the seroprevalences of 6 serovars in beef calves at or near fall weaning and assess how concentrations of serovar antibody titers in weaning-age calves varied with herd vaccination programs.

Animals: Serum was collected from 1922 beef calves from 106 herds in the Canadian Cow-Calf Surveillance Network (C3SN).

Procedure: A microscopic agglutination test was used to measure antibody titers for serovars Bratislava, Canicola, Grippotyphosa, Hardjo, Icterohaemorrhagiae, and Pomona.
