Thus, our study uncovers an important early mechanism underlying tauopathy-linked synaptic failure and opens a new avenue for specifically targeting early synaptic dysfunction in tauopathies, including AD.Abbreviations AAV adeno-associated virus; AD Alzheimer disease; FTD Frontotemporal dementia; LTP long-term potentiation; Δψm mitochondrial membrane potential; Phospho-MAPT/tau hyperphosphorylated Microtubule Associated Protein Tau/tau; RHOT1 ras homolog family member T1; RNAi RNA interference; Tg transgenic.Quorum sensing is a molecular signaling-based communication mechanism in prokaryotes. In the basic mode, signaling molecules released by certain bacteria are sensed by intracellular receptors or membrane-bound receptors of other members in the community, leading to the collective isogenic signaling molecule synthesis and synchronized activities. This regulation is important for the symbiosis of the bacterium with the host, as well as virulence and biofilm formation. Notably, quorum sensing signaling molecules are not only able to control microbial community behavior but can likewise regulate the physiological status of host cells. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the importance of quorum sensing signaling molecules in gram-negative bacteria in regulating host cell function and gut health, and suggest possible opportunities for application in combating human and animal diseases by blocking the pathways through which quorum sensing signaling molecules exert their functions.
Thermal ablation (TA) is a minimally invasive treatment method for symptomatic benign thyroid nodules (BTNs). This study aimed to evaluate the value of TA by comparing the efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction with conventional/open thyroidectomy (ConT) and endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) for symptomatic BTNs.

Patients with symptomatic BTNs who underwent ConT, ET, or TA therapy between January 2018 and January 2020 were included. Pre-operation data of the two comparisons (TA
ConT and TA
ET) was balanced using propensity score matching. The technique efficacy (volume reduction ratio ≥50%), nodule disappearance, and regrowth rate were calculated after ablation. The operation and hospitalization time, medical cost, complications, post-operative symptoms, and cosmetic scores were recorded and compared. Patient satisfaction was evaluated using a telephone survey.

After a median 19-month follow-up (range, 12-36 months), the technique efficacy rate, nodule disappearance, and regrowth rate were 93.2% (119/129), 6.8% (10/129), and 0.8% (1/129), respectively. Operation time, hospitalization time, and medical costs were less for patients in the TA group than for patients in the ConT and ET groups (all
 < 0.001). The incidence of complications, post-operative symptoms, cosmetic scores, and overall satisfaction were not significantly different among groups (all
 > 0.05). Post-operative hypothyroidism was less frequent in the TA group than in the ConT and ET groups (all
 < 0.05).

Compared to ConT and ET, TA has comparable efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction and exhibits greater protection of thyroid function for the treatment of symptomatic BTNs.

Malaria and tuberculosis are highly infectious diseases declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization, and together they account for more than 1.5 million deaths worldwide each year. In the case of both malaria and tuberculosis, emergence of multidrug resistance towards frontline drugs has been reported in the recent past. Therefore, an urgent need exists for the discovery and development of novel drugs or therapies to fight these diseases.

We provide a detailed overview of major infection strategies, commonly used by both the parasite
and by
(
during disease development. We also describe selected host-directed drugs which can be repurposed to treat both malaria and tuberculosis, and co-infections.

Investigation of common infection strategies used by both
and
, during the development of disease in humans, suggests that they are potential host targets for which to develop host-directed therapies. By taking advantage of these common infection strategies, there is a chance that a number of available drugs can be repurposed to fight both malaria and tuberculosis, and their co-infections.

Refractory bowel symptoms in quiescent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are common but evidence for effective management is limited. We aimed to determine whether behavioral treatment, including pelvic floor muscle training, decreases the severity of functional bowel symptoms in patients with quiescent IBD. Secondary aims were to evaluate the treatment effect on quality of life, psychological well-being and pelvic floor muscle function.

This prospective study included IBD patients in remission with persistent symptoms of fecal incontinence or constipation who received up to six sessions of behavioral treatment at monthly intervals. The primary outcome was patient-rated symptom improvement on a 7-point Likert scale (1 = substantially worse, 7 = substantially better). Secondary outcomes included validated symptom scores, quality-of-life, psychological measures, and transperineal ultrasound assessment of pelvic floor muscle activity.

Thirty-four patients (median age 38 years; 24 females; 18 ulcerative coli of fecal incontinence, fecal urgency, or constipation.
To explore the influence of the one-day diabetes mellitus (DM) clinic management model on blood glucose control and prognosis in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

A total of 930 patients diagnosed with GDM by oral glucose tolerance test screening at 24-28 weeks of gestation were selected from those who underwent outpatient prenatal checkups at our hospital and were randomly divided into one-day DM clinic group (
 = 509) and control group (
 = 421). A one-day DM clinic intervention was conducted in the one-day DM clinic group, and individualized dietary interventions and exercise instruction were given in the control group.

The compliance rates of fasting blood glucose and two-hour postprandial blood glucose (2-h PPBG) were higher in the one-day DM clinic group than in the control group (
 < .05). The compliance rates of the oral glucose tolerance test and insulin release test were higher in the one-day DM clinic group than in the control group (
 < .05). There existed statistically significant differences in fasting blood glucose before delivery, together with the difference between fasting blood glucose at enrollment and before delivery and the difference between glycated hemoglobin at enrollment and before delivery (
 < .05).

The one-day diabetes mellitus clinic management model is more conducive to blood glucose control in patients with GDM and more conducive to the recovery of blood glucose and islet function in patients with GDM after delivery and to reduce the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

This single center retrospective cohort study compared CMV and transplant outcomes between LET and a historical control with high-dose valacyclovir (HDV) prophylaxis in adults undergoing haplo/MMUD alloHCT. Thirty-eight CMV seropositive patients were included, 19 in each arm. LET reduced the incidence of CMV infection (5% vs. 53%, RR 0.01, 95% CI 0.014-0.71, p = .001) and need for CMV treatment by day +100 (5% vs. 37%, RR 0.14, 95% CI 0.18-0.99, p = .017) compared to HDV. Median CMV event-free-survival was improved with LET (not reached vs. 80 days, HR 0.114, 95% CI 0.07-0.61, p = .004). These data support the efficacy of LET in alternative donor transplants.
Linn (Labiatae) (OS),
Rose (Zingiberaceae) (ZO), and
Linn (Piperaceae) (PN) are used in traditional medicine as immunomodulator, anti-inflammatory, and bioavailability enhancer agents.

Active phytoconstituents of OS, ZO, PN hydro-alcoholic extracts and their effects on gut microbiota, basal inflammation and lipid profile were investigated in rats.

Active phytoconstituents of extracts were analysed using HPLC and GC-MS. SD rats were supplemented with individual/combined extracts (OS-850; ZO-500; PN-100 mg/kg Bw) and Fructooligosaccharide (standard prebiotic-5g/kg-Bw), orally for 30 days. Haematology, lipid profile, LPS, CRP, IL-6, insulin and histology of vital organs were analysed. Caecal bacterial levels were assessed by RT-PCR.

High content of phenolic compounds luteolin-7-
-glucoside (430 ± 2.3 mg/100g), gallic acid (84.13 ± 1.2 mg/100 g) and flavones (88.18 ± 1.8 mg/100 g) were found in OS, ZO, and PN, respectively. Combined extract was rich in luteolin-7-
-glucoside (266.0 ± 1.80 mg/100 g). Essential oils including methyleugenol (13.96%), 6-shogaol (11.00%), piperine (18.26%), and cyclopentasiloxane (10.06%) were higher in OS, ZO, PN and combined extract. Higher levels of caecal
(1.7-3.4-fold),
(5.89-28.4-fold), and lower levels of
(0.04-0.91-fold),
(0.69-0.88-fold) were noted among extracts and FOS supplemented rats. Significant (
 0.05) decrease in plasma lipid profile and LPS was noted in all supplemented rats.

The current study could be first of its kind in exploring prebiotic potential of OS, ZO, PN and their effect on native gut bacterial population.

Mitigation of infectious diseases resulted from antibiotic-resistant bacteria is difficult by current antibiotics. Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles specifically Ag nanoparticles can be efficient antibacterial agents considering their biocompatibility. In this way, biosynthesis of Ag nanoparticles by living organisms or their metabolites has obtained more attention compared to chemical or physical methods.

Bacteria and fungi in extracellular and intracellular pathways and related primary and secondary metabolites can synthesize Ag nanoparticles with synergistic antibacterial activity against bacterial pathogens.

Bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects of these nanoparticles can lead by production of reactive oxygen species and inactivation of biological macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. The present review has tried to discuss recent progress and challenges about biosynthesis mechanisms and antibacterial activity of Ag nanoparticles bio-inspired by archaebacteria, actinomycetes, cyanobacteria, and fungi.
