Background:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with aging. Cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension and atherosclerosis increase the risk for AD. Polymorphic alleles of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) are one of the main genetic determinants of AD. Objective:Mice, double-knockout (DKO) for ApoE (major cholesterol carrier in brain) and PON1 (paroxonase1, reduces oxidative stress), showed severe age-dependent atherosclerosis of the arteries carrying blood to the brain even on normal diet. This prompted us to investigate the possibility of an AD pathology resulting from the deficiency of ApoE and the induction of oxidative stress. Methods:Atherosclerotic lesions were quantified by ImageJ. The brain hippocampus of young and old ApoE-PON1 DKO mice and control mice were harvested. RT-PCR analysis was performed for mRNA levels of AD specific markers. Blood levels of S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) protein were measured by ELISA. H&E as well as immunostaining was performed to detect amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in brain tissues. Evans blue dye was used to evaluate the vascular permeability and blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction. Results:Results showed that the older DKO mice had severe carotid atherosclerosis, increased mRNA levels of AD markers in brain tissue, and elevated levels of serum S100B protein. Immunological staining confirmed the characteristics of AD. Ex-vivo imaging showed higher levels of Evans blue dye in the ApoE-PON1 DKO mice brain tissues, pointing toward impaired vasculature. Conclusion:Aged ApoE-PON1 DKO mice displaying AD specific markers along with Aβ plaques, NFTs, and disrupted BBB suggests the animals are suffering from AD.

A series of Mn/CeSiOx catalysts were prepared by the wet impregnation method and used for selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3. As can be seen from the experimental results, the Mn/CeSiOx catalyst with a Ce/Si molar ratio of 2/1 showed excellent low-temperature SCR activity, high N2 selectivity and excellent SO2 and H2O tolerance. The relationship between the CeSiOx support and the SCR performance of Mn/CeSiOx (2 : 1) catalyst was investigated based on the characterization results of N2 adsorption, XRD, XPS, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD and in situ DRIFT. The strong interaction between Ce and Si resulted in the good dispersion of Mn species on the support; correspondingly, the redox ability and NH3 adsorption capacity were greatly enhanced. The results of in situ DRIFT study revealed that the NH3-SCR reactions over Mn/CeO2 and Mn/CeSiOx (2 : 1) mainly obeyed both the E–R mechanism and the L–H mechanism. Furthermore, the formation of more Mn4+ and chemisorbed oxygen greatly facilitates the oxidation of NO to NO2, as a result, promoting the low-temperature SCR performance of Mn/CeSiOx (2 : 1).

This study employed E-nose, GC-MS, and GC-IMS to analyze the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of red and black raspberry wines fermented by commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae (X16, RB2, XarOm). Relative odor activity value (ROAV) analysis, orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), and random forest (RF) were employed to assess the VOCs and predict key aroma compounds comprehensively. The results revealed that red raspberry wine has a higher ester content (64.18% of total VOC content), while black raspberry wine showcased a significantly higher terpene concentration (13.60%). Moreover, the raspberry wine fermented with X16 yeasts demonstrated the highest contents of esters (64.88%) and alcohols (26.21%). In contrast, the RB2 yeasts displayed a higher level of terpenes (9.56%). The ROAV analysis, OPLS-DA, and RF models predicted 11 key aroma compounds in samples. These findings would provide valuable data for the application of commercial S. cerevisiae in the flavor modulation of raspberry wine.

To enhance the aroma complexity and commercial potential of Chinese black truffle (Tuber indicum), enzymatic hydrolyzates (EH) were subjected to Maillard reaction (MR) with xylose/cysteine under varying temperatures (90–130 °C). Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in MR products (MRPs) were characterized using an E-nose, HS-SPME-GC-MS, and HS-GC-IMS coupled with chemometrics (PCA, OPLS-DA). MR significantly increased VOC diversity (216 compounds identified vs 82 in EH), with sulfur-containing compounds and heterocyclics emerging exclusively in MRPs. Temperature critically influenced VOC profiles: 130 °C (MRPs130) yielded the highest VOC abundance and key odorants, as confirmed by the odor activity value (OAV) analysis. Sankey diagrams visualized a flavor shift from mushroom/earthy notes in EH to enhanced fruity, green, and roasted nuances in MRPs130. This strategy effectively improves the Chinese truffle aroma, offering theoretical and practical insights for value-added processing.

Background The emergence of carbapenem and colistin co-resistant Escherichia coli poses a huge challenge to infection control. The purpose of this study was to clarify the mechanism of the carbapenems and colistin co-resistance in E. coli strains.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out by agar dilution methods and colistin resistance was confirmed by broth microdilution methods. Whole genome sequencing was carried out, and resistance genes, sequence types and virulence genes of carbapenems and colistin co-resistance E. coli isolates were analyzed.Results The results showed that among the 176 carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains, 5 multidrug resistant E. coli strains exhibiting coresistance to carbapenem and colistin. The main mechanism of 5 E. coli strains in this study was generating carbapenem. Four E. coli strains were mcr-positive, while one mcr-negative strain had a new MgrB mutation. The blaNDM-5, blaCTX-M-65, blaOXA-10, blaTEM-1 and mcr-1.1 genes were simultaneously detected in E. coli 20IR1127 strain belonging to ST156 lineage. Other antimicrobial resistance genes encoding aminoglycosides-, sulfonamide-, chloramphenicol-, tetracyclines- and macrolides resistance were also detected.Conclusion The main mechanisms of carbapenem and colistin resistance were encoded by blaNDM and mcr1.1, meanwhile mgrB mutations also contribute to colistin resistance. To our knowledge, this study is the first to report of E. coli ST156 strain in which the blaNDM-5, blaCTX-M-65, blaOXA-10, blaTEM-1 and mcr1.1 genes coexist. In addition, there is also an E. coli ST457 strain, which carries blaTEM-1, blaNDM-9, blaCTX-M-199 and is positive for mcr1.1 gene.
