  1. A method to culture chicken enterocytes and their characterization

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTEnterocytes function as both absorptive and protective components of intestine that come in close contact with a variety of enteric factors, such as dietary, microbial, and parasites, that have potential to affect the organismal health. Understanding how enterocytes interact with this complex array of factors may help improve gut health particularly in the context of poultry production where it is also linked to food safety issues.

  2. Inhibition mechanisms of baicalin and its phospholipid complex against DHAV-1 replication

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTDuck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1) is a serious infectious virus of ducklings. Recent study showed baicalin (BA) and baicalin phospholipid complex (BAPC) possessed anti-DHAV-1 effect. However, the antiviral mechanism is not clear. Therefore, the aim of the present work is to study influences and mechanisms of BA and BAPC on DHAV-1.

  8. Microevolution and Patterns of Transmission of Shigella sonnei within Cyclic Outbreaks Shigellosis, Israel

    • Emerging Infectious Diseases

    • Whole-genome sequencing unveiled host and environment-related insights to Shigella sonnei transmission within cyclic epidemics during 2000–2012 in Israel. The Israeli reservoir contains isolates belonging to S. sonnei lineage III but of different origin, shows loss of tetracycline resistance genes, and little genetic variation within the O antigen: highly relevant for Shigella vaccine development.

  21. [ASAP] Food Forensics: Using Mass Spectrometry To Detect Foodborne Protein Contaminants, as Exemplified by Shiga Toxin Variants and Prion Strains

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Food forensicists need a variety of tools to detect the many possible food contaminants. As a result of its analytical flexibility, mass spectrometry is one of those tools. Use of the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) method expands its use to quantitation as well as detection of infectious proteins (prions) and protein toxins, such as Shiga toxins.

  22. [ASAP] Validation of an Analytical Method for the Determination of Pesticide Residues in Vine Leaves by GC-MS/MS

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • A modified and miniaturized SweEt/QuEChERS method for pesticide residue analysis applied to vine leaves is presented. The deep-frozen plant material was cryogenically processed. A 2 g analytical portion was hydrated for 30 min and extracted with acidified ethyl acetate after buffering with NaHCO3 and adding Na2SO4. A dispersive solid-phase (d-SPE) cleanup step with primary–secondary amine (PSA) was performed. The pesticide residues were determined using GC-MS/MS.

  23. Pyrrole-protein adducts – A biomarker of pyrrolizidine alkaloid-induced hepatotoxicity

    • Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

    • Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are phytotoxins identified in over 6000 plant species worldwide. Approximately 600 toxic PAs and PA N-oxides have been identified in about 3% flowering plants. PAs can cause toxicities in different organs particularly in the liver. The metabolic activation of PAs is catalyzed by hepatic cytochrome P450 and generates reactive pyrrolic metabolites that bind to cellular proteins to form pyrrole-protein adducts leading to PA-induced hepatotoxicity.
