    Abstract Peanut allergen monitoring is currently an effective strategy to avoid allergic diseases, while food matrix interference is a critical challenge during detection. Here, we developed an antifouling surface plasmon resonance sensor (SPR) with stratified zwitterionic peptides, which provides both excellent antifouling and sensing properties. The antifouling performance was measured by the SPR, which showed that stratified peptide coatings showed much better protein resistance, reaching ultralow adsorption levels (<5 ng/cm

    Abstract Background: Resistant ovary syndrome (ROS) is a rare endocrine disorder and there have been few reports of live births by affected patients. As gonadotropin resistance leads immature oocytes, some researchers reported few live births with in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes, but IVM is not always successful in ROS patients. Here, we report an original case of ROS, associated with Ig-FSHR in the serum, who achieved a live birth following ovarian stimulation combined with dexamethasone treatment.
    Case presentation: The 30-year-old woman presented with secondary amenorrhea and infertility. Her serum FSH levels were found to be higher than normal, but in discordance with a normal anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level and antral follicle count. Genetic investigation found no mutations potentially affecting FSHR. With reference of previous ROS studies, the patient's serum was analyzed for antibodies directed against FSHR and dot blot analysis showed strong reactivity with FSHR. Then, dexamethasone was proposed to the patient, and she successfully became pregnant, finally delivering a healthy girl by caesarean section.
    Conclusion: To our best knowledge, this is the first report of the successful treatment of ROS using ovarian stimulation combined with dexamethasone. In some cases of ROS, high doses of exogenous gonadotropins in combination with immunosuppressive therapy could be an effective approach.

    Abstract Mycotoxin contamination has become a major food safety issue and greatly threatens human and animal health. Patulin (PAT), a common mycotoxin in the environment, is exposed through the food chain and damages the gastrointestinal tract. However, its mechanism of enterotoxicity at the genetic and metabolic levels remains to be elucidated. Herein, the intestinal histopathological and biochemical indices, transcriptome, and metabolome of C57BL/6 J mice exposed to different doses of PAT were successively assessed, as well as the toxicokinetics of PAT in vivo. The results showed that acute PAT exposure induced damaged villi and crypts, reduced mucus secretion, decreased SOD and GSH-Px activities, and enhanced MPO activity in the small intestine and mild damage in the colon. At the transcriptional level, the genes affected by PAT were dose-dependently altered in the small intestine and fluctuated in the colon. PAT primarily affected inflammation-related signaling pathways and oxidative phosphorylation in the small intestine and immune responses in the colon. At the metabolic level, amino acids decreased, and extensive lipids accumulated in the small intestine and colon. Seven metabolic pathways were jointly affected by PAT in two intestinal sites. Moreover, changes in PAT products and GST activity were detected in the small intestinal tissue but not in the colonic tissue, explaining the different damage degrees of the two sites. Finally, the integrated results collectively explained the toxicological mechanism of PAT, which damaged the small intestine directly and the colon indirectly. These results paint a clear panorama of intestinal changes after PAT exposure and provide valuable information on the exposure risk and toxic mechanism of PAT.

    Abstract Patulin (PAT), a toxin produced by molds in fruits and related products, has caused frequent food poisoning incidents worldwide. However, its potential mechanism of hepatotoxicity remains presently unclear. Herein, we intragastrically administered the C57BL/6J mice with 0, 1, 4, and 16 mg/kg b.wt of PAT on a single occasion (acute model), and 0, 50, 200, and 800 μg/kg b.wt of PAT daily over two weeks (subacute model). Assessments of histopathology and aminotransferase activities confirmed that significant hepatic damages were induced. Metabolic profiling on the liver using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry discovered 43 and 61 differential metabolites in two models, respectively. Notably, acute and subacute models shared the common 18 differential metabolites, among which N-acetyl-leucine, inosine, 2-O-methyladenosine, PC 40:7, PC 38:6, and PC 34:2 could be regarded as the biomarkers indicative of PAT exposure. Moreover, analysis of metabolic pathways demonstrated that pentose phosphate pathway and purine metabolism were the main altered pathways in the acute model. Nevertheless, more pathways related to amino acids were affected in the subacute model. These results reveal the comprehensive influence of PAT on hepatic metabolism and provide a deeper understanding of the hepatotoxicity mechanism of PAT.

    Abstract Fungal contamination of food, which causes large economic losses and public health problems, is a global concern. Chemical methods are typically used in the food industry to inhibit the growth of spoilage fungus, but there are several drawbacks of chemical methods. Thus, the development of consumer-friendly and ecologically sustainable biological preservation technology has become a hot spot in food research. As a natural biological control agent, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is a good choice in food preservation due to its antifungal properties. In order to screen and identify new antifungal LAB and antifungal compounds, this review compares three screening methods (overlay method, agar diffusion method, and microplate inhibition method) of antifungal LAB and summarizes the separation and purification techniques of antifungal compounds. A discussion of the effects of LAB, media, temperature, pH, and incubation period on the antifungal activity of LAB to highlight the antifungal properties of LAB for future studies then follows. Additionally, the antifungal mechanism of LAB is elucidated from three aspects: 1) LAB cells, 2) antifungal compounds, and 3) co-cultivation. Finally, research regarding antifungal LAB in food preservation (fruits, vegetables, grain cereals, bakery products, and dairy products) is summarized, which demonstrates the potential application value of LAB in food.

    Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the application of encapsulated L. plantarum and eugenol as potential biocontrol agents in sliced apples. The combined encapsulated L. plantarum and eugenol treatment was more effective than separate encapsulated L. plantarum and eugenol treatments, with regards to browning inhibition and consumers panel test. The application of encapsulated L. plantarum and eugenol reduced the decline of the physicochemical qualities of the samples, and improved the ability of antioxidant enzymes to scavenge reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, reductions in the growth of L. plantarum of only 1.72 log CFU/g were observed after 15 days of storage at 4 °C for samples treated with encapsulated L. plantarum and eugenol. Results suggest the combined encapsulated L. plantarum and eugenol appears to be a promising method to protect fresh-cut apples from food-borne pathogens while maintaining the visual appearance.

    Abstract Background: TUBB8, a crucial gene encoding microtubule protein, plays a pivotal role in cellular processes. Deleterious TUBB8 variants have been shown to significantly hinder oocyte maturation. In this study, we conducted an in vitro investigation using TUBB8 mutant mouse oocytes to elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms of TUBB8 variants in oocyte nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation.
    Methods: A mutant model was successfully established in mouse oocytes via microinjection to further investigate the effects of four novel discovered TUBB8 mutations on the nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation of mouse oocytes. Immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy were performed to observe the cortical polarity and spindle and of mutant oocytes. Active mitochondrial staining was performed to analyze mitochondrial distribution patterns. Endoplasmic reticulum and Ca
    Results: In mouse oocytes, TUBB8 variants (p.A313V, p.C239W, p.R251Q, and p.G96R) resulted in a reduction of the first polar body extrusion rate, disruption of spindle assembly, and abnormal chromosome distribution. Additionally, these variants induced oocyte organelle abnormalities, including anomalies in mitochondrial redistribution and endoplasmic reticulum stress compared to the wild-type.
    Conclusion: Deleterious TUBB8 variants could disrupt microtubule function, affecting critical processes such as spindle assembly, chromosome distribution, and organelle rearrangement during oocyte meiosis. These disruptions culminate in compromised nuclear-cytoplasmic maturation, consequently giving rise to oocyte maturation defects.

    Abstract To the best of the author's knowledge, studies of mature plasmacytoid dendritic cell proliferation associated with T lymphoblastic lymphoma were extremely rare in the literature. Here, we report a patient who underwent both mature plasmacytoid dendritic cell proliferation and T lymphoblastic lymphoma. With the findings of lymph node biopsy taken from the right cervical and inguinal regions, we identified eye-catching mature plasmacytoid dendritic cells that were considered to be responsible for this lesion at the beginning, until the immunostaining of Ki67 and TDT showed a small group of positive cells hiding in these plasmacytoid dendritic cells. A bone marrow biopsy was also performed on this patient. Microscopically, the hematopoietic tissue was almost completely replaced by lymphoblastoid cells with condensed chromatin, inconspicuous nucleoli and scanty cytoplasm, which were basically the same as those seen in the lymph nodes in morphology. However, there was no sign of plasmacytoid dendritic cells or Langerhans cells in the bone marrow biopsy. With the help of bone marrow biopsy, our final diagnosis of the lymph node was T lymphoblastic lymphoma coexisting with mature plasmacytoid dendritic cell proliferation. Although accumulations of plasmacytoid dendritic cells may occur in some infections or reactive lymphadenopathy, the presence of extensive nodules or infiltration of plasmacytoid dendritic cells strongly reminds the pathologist to carefully evaluate the bone marrow or peripheral blood status of the patient to exclude a hidden myeloid or other neoplasm.

    Abstract Arrested cells/ cellular debris is component left in the zona pellucida after blastocyst hatching. To identify whether expelling arrested cells/cellular debris from blastocysts is a process of human embryo self-correction by eliminating abnormal cells, 21 pairs of trophectoderm (TE) biopsies and the corresponding arrested cells/cellular debris expelled from the blastocysts from July to December 2020 were collected and analyzed using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Then, the NGS results of TE biopsies and the corresponding arrested cells/cellular debris were compared. We identified that 47.6% of blastocysts (10/21) were aneuploidies and mosaicism. A total of 18 groups of arrested cells/cellular debris (85.7%) expelled from blastocysts were abnormal, including nine aneuploid embryos and nine euploid embryos. In the arrested cells/cellular debris, all the chromosomes were affected. In conclusion, mosaicism and aneuploidies are common features of early embryonic development, and the arrested cells/cellular debris expelled from blastocysts provides evidence of early embryonic self-correction.
