Abstract
Increasing clinical and preclinical evidence implicates gut microbiome (GM) dysbiosis as a key susceptibility factor for neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). In recent years, neurodegenerative diseases have been viewed as being driven not solely by defects in the brain, and the role of GM in modulating central nervous system function via the gut-brain axis has attracted considerable interest. Encouraged by current GM research, the development of new probiotics may lead to tangible impacts on the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. This review summarizes current understandings of GM composition and characteristics associated with neurodegenerative diseases and research demonstrations of key molecules from the GM that affect neurodegeneration. Furthermore, applications of new probiotics, such as Clostridium butyricum, Akkermansia muciniphila, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, and Bacteroides fragilis, for the remediation of neurodegenerative diseases are discussed.

Abstract
OTU domain-containing protein 3 (OTUD3) knockout mice exhibited loss of nigral dopaminergic neurons and Parkinsonian symptoms. However, the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. In this study, we observed that the inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α)-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress was involved in this process. We found that the ER thickness and the expression of protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) were increased, and the apoptosis level was elevated in the dopaminergic neurons of OTUD3 knockout mice. These phenomena were ameliorated by ER stress inhibitor tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) treatment. The ratio of p-IRE1α/IRE1α, and the expression of X-box binding protein 1-spliced (XBP1s) were remarkably increased after OTUD3 knockdown, which was inhibited by IRE1α inhibitor STF-083010 treatment. Moreover, OTUD3 regulated the ubiquitination level of Fortilin through binding with the OTU domain. OTUD3 knockdown resulted in a decrease in the interaction ability of IRE1α with Fortilin and finally enhanced the activity of IRE1α. Taken together, we revealed that OTUD3 knockout-induced injury of dopaminergic neurons might be caused by activating IRE1α signaling in ER stress. These findings demonstrated that OTUD3 played a critical role in dopaminergic neuron neurodegeneration, which provided new evidence for the multiple and tissue-dependent functions of OTUD3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous antibiotic exposure is an important risk factor for invasive fungal infection (IFI). Antibiotic overexposure is common in lower-income countries; however, multi-centre studies concerning IFI in relation to antibiotic exposure are scarce. AIM This prospective, multi-centre matched case-control study explored the correlation of IFI and antibiotic exposure in very preterm infants or very-low-birthweight infants admitted to 23 tertiary hospitals in China between 2018 and 2021. METHODS Using a 1:2 matched design for gestational age, birth weight and early-onset sepsis (yes/no), the risk factors between infants diagnosed with IFI and infection-free controls were compared. The antibiotic use rate (AUR) was calculated using calendar days of antibiotic therapy in the 4 weeks preceding IFI onset divided by onset day of IFI. FINDINGS In total, 6368 infants were included in the study, of which 90 (1.4%) were diagnosed with IFI. Median AUR, length of antibiotic therapy (LOT) and days of antibiotic therapy (DOT) within the 4 weeks preceding IFI onset were 0.90, 18 days and 30 days, respectively. Multi-variate analysis showed that a 10% increase in AUR, each additional day of DOT and LOT, and each additional day of third-generation cephalosporins and carbapenems were notably associated with IFI. CONCLUSION Prolonged antibiotic therapy is common before the onset of IFI, and is an important risk factor, especially the use of third-generation cephalosporins and carbapenems. Antibiotic stewardship should be urgently developed and promoted for preterm infants in order to reduce IFI in lower-income countries such as China.

Abstract
Inositol-requiring enzyme 1 α (IRE1α) is a type I transmembrane protein that resides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). IRE1α, which is the primary sensor of ER stress, has been proven to maintain intracellular protein homeostasis by activating X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1). Further studies have revealed novel physiological functions of the IRE1α, such as its roles in mRNA and protein degradation, inflammation, immunity, cell proliferation and cell death. Therefore, the function of IRE1α is not limited to its role in ER stress; IRE1α is also important for regulating other processes related to cellular physiology. Furthermore, IRE1α plays a key role in neurodegenerative diseases that are caused by the phosphorylation of Tau protein, the accumulation of α-synuclein (α-syn) and the toxic effects of mutant Huntingtin (mHtt). Therefore, targeting IRE1α is a valuable approach for treating neurodegenerative diseases and regulating cell functions. This review discusses the role of IRE1α in different cellular processes, and emphasizes the importance of IRE1α in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP channels), a group of vital channels that link the electrical activity of the cell membrane with cell metabolism, were discovered on the ventricular myocytes of guinea pigs by Noma using the patch-clamp technique in 1983. Subsequently, KATP channels have been found to be expressed in pancreatic β cells, cardiomyocytes, skeletal muscle cells, and nerve cells in the substantia nigra (SN), hippocampus, cortex, and basal ganglia. KATP channel openers (KCOs) diazoxide, nicorandil, minoxidil, and the KATP channel inhibitor glibenclamide have been shown to have anti-hypertensive, anti-myocardial ischemia, and insulin-releasing regulatory effects. Increasing evidence has suggested that KATP channels also play roles in Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), vascular dementia (VD), Huntington's disease (HD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. KCOs and KATP channel inhibitors protect neurons from injury by regulating neuronal excitability and neurotransmitter release, inhibiting abnormal protein aggregation and Ca2+ overload, reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and microglia activation. However, KATP channels have dual effects in some cases. In this review, we focus on the roles of KATP channels and their related openers and inhibitors in neurodegenerative diseases. This will enable us to precisely take advantage of the KATP channels and provide new ideas for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is defined as an iron-dependent, non-apoptotic cell death pathway, with specific morphological phenotypes and biochemical changes. There is a growing realization that ferroptosis has significant implications for several neurodegenerative diseases. Even though ferroptosis is different from other forms of programmed death such as apoptosis and autophagic death, they involve a number of common protein molecules. This review focuses on current research on ferroptosis and summarizes the cross-talk among ferroptosis, apoptosis, and autophagy that are implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. We hope that this information provides new ideas for understanding the mechanisms and searching for potential therapeutic approaches and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Ghrelin was first identified as an endogenous ligand of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) in 1999, with the function of stimulating the release of growth hormone (GH), while nesfatin-1 was identified in 2006. Both peptides are secreted by the same kind of endocrine cells, X/A-like cells in the stomach. Compared with ghrelin, nesfatin-1 exerts opposite effects on energy metabolism, glucose metabolism, gastrointestinal functions and regulation of blood pressure, but exerts similar effects on anti-inflammation and neuroprotection. Up to now, nesfatin-1 remains as an orphan ligand because its receptor has not been identified. Several studies have shown the effects of nesfatin-1 are dependent on the receptor of ghrelin. We herein compare the effects of nesfatin-1 and ghrelin in several aspects and explore the possibility of their interactions.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the accumulation of alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) in the substantia nigra (SN) and the degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons. Some studies have reported that the pathology of PD originates from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which also serves as an energy portal, and develops upward along the neural pathway to the central nervous system (CNS), including the dorsal motor nucleus of vagus (DMV), SN, and hypothalamus, which are also involved in energy metabolism control. Therefore, we discuss the alterations of nuclei that regulate energy metabolism in the development of PD. In addition, due to their anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic and antioxidative roles, metabolism-related peptides are involved in the progression of PD. Furthermore, abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism are common in PD patients and exacerbate the pathological changes in PD. Therefore, in this review, we attempt to explain the correlation between PD and energy metabolism, which may provide possible strategies for PD treatment.

Abstract
Aberrant α-synuclein (α-Syn) accumulation resulting from proteasome dysfunction is considered as a prominent factor to initiate and aggravate the neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD). Although the involvement of 26S proteasome in proteostasis imbalance has been widely accepted, our knowledge about the regulation of immunoproteasome function and its potential role in α-Syn pathology remains limited. Immunoproteasome abundance and proteolytic activities depend on the finely tuned assembly process, especially β-ring formation mediated by the only well-known chaperone proteasome maturation protein (POMP). Here, we identified that α-Syn overexpression was associated with a reduction in immunoproteasome function, which in turn limited the degradation of polo-like kinase 2 (PLK2), exacerbated α-Syn Ser129 phosphorylation and aggregation, ultimately leading to the neurodegeneration. These effects could be dramatically attenuated by β5i overexpression. Mechanistically, α-Syn suppressed the transcriptional regulation of POMP by nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), thereby preventing the assembly of immunoproteasome β subunits. Dopaminergic neurons-specific overexpression of NRF2-POMP axis effectively rescued the aggregation of α-Syn and PD-like phenotypes. These findings characterized abnormal immunoproteasome assembly as a key contributor governing α-Syn accumulation and neurodegeneration, which might open up a new perspective for the implication of immunoproteasome in PD and provide approaches of manipulating immunoproteasome assembly for therapeutic purposes. α-Syn negatively regulated immunoproteasome by inhibiting POMP-mediated assembly. Immunoproteasome deficiency prevented PLK2 degradation to aggravate neurotoxicity. Enhanced immunoproteasome assembly via NRF2-POMP axis alleviated α-Syn pathology.

Abstract
Growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a), a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family, is a functional receptor of ghrelin. The expression levels and activities of GHSR1a are affected by various factors. In past years, it has been found that the ghrelin-GHSR1a system can perform biological functions such as anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis, and anti-oxidative stress. In addition to mediating the effect of ghrelin, GHSR1a also has abnormally high constitutive activity; that is, it can still transmit intracellular signals without activation of the ghrelin ligand. This constitutive activity affects brain functions, growth and development of the body; therefore, it has profound impacts on neurodegenerative diseases and some other age-related diseases. In addition, GHSR1a can also form homodimers or heterodimers with other GPCRs, affecting the release of neurotransmitters, appetite regulation, cell proliferation and insulin release. Therefore, further understanding of the constitutive activities and dimerization of GHSR1a will enable us to better clarify the characteristics of GHSR1a and provide more therapeutic targets for drug development. Here, we focus on the roles of GHSR1a in various biological functions and provide a comprehensive summary of the current research on GHSR1a to provide broader therapeutic prospects for age-related disease treatment.

Abstract
Iron metabolism imbalance plays a key role in the neurodegeneration of Parkinson's disease (PD), thus iron homeostasis should be tightly controlled by iron transporters. α-Synuclein (α-Syn) serves as a ferrireductase and iron-binding protein, which is supposed to be linked with iron metabolism, but little is known about how α-Syn affects iron homeostasis in PD. Our previous findings that up-regulation of divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) accounted for the nigral iron accumulation in PD raised the question whether α-Syn disturbed iron homeostasis by modulating DMT1 expression. Using α-Syn overexpressed SH-SY5Y cells and mutant human A53T α-Syn transgenic mice, we found that α-Syn could up-regulate DMT1 protein levels, followed by enhanced ferrous iron influx and subsequent aggravated oxidative stress injury. Mechanistic studies identified that α-Syn-induced p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation phosphorylated parkin at Ser131, which inactivated parkin's E3 ubiquitin ligase activity and further reduced DMT1 ubiquitylation level. Our findings revealed that α-Syn affected brain iron homeostasis through modulating DMT1 protein stability and altering cellular iron uptake, which might provide direct evidence for the involvement of α-Syn in iron metabolism dysfunction and provide insight into PD-associated nigral iron deposition.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent nonapoptotic cell death, was referred in neurodegenerative diseases, but its role in Parkinson's disease remains unclear. Here, we used ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) to treat dopaminergic cell to mimic the iron overload during the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). We found that the cell death types of iron-overloaded dopaminergic cells induced by concentrations of FAC were different. Ferroptosis firstly occurred in a relatively low concentration of FAC-treated group, and then apoptosis appeared in response to the increased iron doses. Moreover, both ferroptosis and apoptosis caused by iron overload could be rescued by inhibitors of ferroptosis, but inhibitors of apoptosis did not prevent the occurrence of ferroptosis. We verified that ferroptosis occurred before apoptosis in α-SynA53T homozygous PD mice model. The underlying mechanism might be associated with the p53 signaling pathway, but not MAPK signaling pathway. Collectively, our results revealed a previously unappreciated role of ferroptosis in the early stages of PD and indicated that ferroptosis could elicit apoptosis in cell death caused by iron overload.

Abstract
Ghrelin plays a neuroprotective role in the process of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, it still largely unknown whether ghrelin could affect the midbrain neural stem cells (mbNSCs) from which DAergic neurons are originated. In the present study, we observed that ghrelin enhanced mbNSCs proliferation, and promoted neuronal differentiation especially DAergic neuron differentiation both in vitro and ex vivo. The messenger RNA levels of Wnt1, Wnt3a, and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor were increased in response to the ghrelin treatment. Results showed that Wnt/β-catenin pathway was relevant to this DAergic neuron differentiation induced by ghrelin. Our finding gave a new evidence that ghrelin may enable clinical therapies for PD by its neurogenesis role.

Abstract
Several studies have investigated the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs356220 in the α-synuclein (SNCA) gene and Parkinson's disease (PD) with inconsistent results. Herein, a meta-analysis was conducted to ascertain the association of the SNCA rs356220 polymorphism with the risk of PD. Six eligible articles involving 5333 PD cases and 5477 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) were calculated to estimate the association. The fixed or random effect was selected based on the homogeneity among studies. Heterogeneity was detected by I2. We performed sensitivity analysis to test the stablility of the results. Publication bias was evaluated by Funnel plot and Begg's test. The pooled results showed a significant association between SNCA rs356220 gene polymorphism and PD susceptibility in the codominant (FEM: OR = 1.31, 95 % CI = 1.24-1.39), dominant (FEM: OR = 1.38, 95 % CI = 1.27-1.49) and recessive (FEM: OR = 1.52, 95 % CI = 1.38-1.68) models. Furthermore, in the subgroup analysis stratified by ethnicity, increased risk of PD was identified in both Caucasian and Asian populations. Overall, the present meta-analysis provided evidence supporting that SNCA rs356220 polymorphism might act as a genetic susceptibility factor for PD.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors with a high rate of distant metastasis, postoperative recurrence and mortality. ATPase family AAA domain-containing protein 2 (ATAD2), a member of ATPase family, is highly expressed in various cancers, including colorectal cancer. However, whether ATAD2 plays a role in the migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells remains unknown. In this study, we established ATAD2 knockdown in colorectal cancer cell lines by RNA interference and found that silencing of ATAD2 inhibited the migration and invasion ability of Caco-2 and SW-480 cells. Moreover, ATAD2 silencing suppressed epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and reduced the expression and enzymatic activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in Caco-2 and SW-480 cells. In summary, our results suggest that silencing of ATAD2 inhibits migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells by suppressing EMT and decreasing the activity of MMPs. Hence, ATAD2 could be considered as a novel molecular marker of metastatic colorectal cancer, and it may provide new insights for clinical diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized not only by typical motor symptoms, but also by nonmotor symptoms in the early stages. In addition to the loss of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons, progressive degenerations of noradrenergic (NA) and serotonergic (5-HT) neurons were also observed. However, the respective effects and interactions of these monoamine depletions on certain nonmotor symptoms are still largely unknown. In the present study, we performed selective depletions of NA, 5-HT and DA in mice by intraperitioneal injection of N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-ethyl-2-bromobenzylamine hydrochloride (DSP-4), 4-chloro-L-phenylalanine (pCPA) and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), respectively. DSP-4 led to a 34% decrease in the number of NAergic neurons in the locus coeruleus, and MPTP led to a 30% decrease in the number of DAergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Although there was no obvious change in the number of 5-HTergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus after pCPA treatment, the levels of 5-HT and its metabolite in the frontal cortex and hippocampus were reduced, respectively. Locomotor activity deficit was induced by DA depletion and a decrease in traveled distance was potentiated by additional NA depletion. Despair-associated depressive-like behavior could be observed in every group. Anxiety states emerged only from the combined depletion of two or three monoamines. However, combined depletion of the three monoamines dramatically induced anhedonia, and it could also aggravate the depressive-like and anxiety behavior. Furthermore, NA depletion significantly reduced spatial learning and memory ability, which was not enhanced by additional 5-HT or DA depletion. Our data highlighted the interactive role of NA, 5-HT and DA in the motor, emotional and cognitive deficits, providing new insight into the complex orchestration of impaired monoaminergic systems that related to the pathology of PD.

Abstract
Considerable evidence has shown that elevated plasma or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) urate levels correlated with a reduced risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Based on its anti-oxidative properties, urate might serve as one of promising neuroprotective candidates for PD. However, how urate is transported through cell membranes to exert its effects inside the cells in PD is largely unknown. To elucidate this, we showed that increased intracellular urate exerted its neuroprotective effects against 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+)-induced neurotoxicity in MES23.5 cells and elevated urate could antagonize 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced nigral dopaminergic neuronal death in urate oxidase (UOx) knockout (KO) mice. Its transporter, glucose transporter type 9 (Glut9), was observed up-regulated, which was caused by the activation of p53. These protective effects could be abolished by Glut9 blocker and p53 inhibitor. These results suggested that Glut9 was a functional urate transporter, whose up-regulation by activation of p53 resulted in the increased intracellular urate levels in PD models. Our findings suggest that Glut9 could be modified to modulate urate levels in dopaminergic neurons and urate-elevating strategies without increasing systemic levels to avoid side effects might serve as a potential therapeutic target for PD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlations of MC4R and MSH2 with adult obesity, a total of 46 patients with early-stage colon cancer were treated in our hospital between February 2008 and February 2009 and were enrolled. PATIENTS AND METHODS Venous blood was regularly drawn from subjects of the observation group and 48 healthy subjects for 6 years. Expression levels of MC4R and MSH2 genes were tested using quantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses, and the ensuing proteins were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and Western blotting and immunohistochemical analyses. Finally, correlations with body mass index (BMI) and the presence of colon cancer were identified using multivariate analyses. RESULTS Compared with the control group, MSH2 mRNA and protein expression increased significantly over time (p < 0.05) in patients with colon cancer. Moreover, MSH2 expression was correlated with colon cancer progression, and MC4R mRNA and protein expression increase concurrently in comparison with the control group (p < 0.05). Also, the mean BMI among patients with colon cancer was 30.8, whereas that among control subjects was only 21.4. These data indicate a relationship between BMI and colon cancer. CONCLUSIONS Expression of MSH2 in patients with colon cancer may promote the expression of the obesity gene MC4R, potentially contributing to body weight gains.

Abstract
Elevated iron levels in the substantia nigra (SN) participate in neuronal death in Parkinson's disease (PD), while the mechanisms underlying the increased iron are still unknown. Ceruloplasmin (CP), a ferroxidase, converts highly toxic ferrous iron to its non-toxic ferric form, which cooperated with ferroportin1 (FP1) facilitating the export of iron from cells. To elucidate if the abnormal expression of CP is involved in the nigral iron accumulation, here, we investigated CP expression in the SN of rats lesioned by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). We showed that FP1 and CP colocalized in the rat SN. One day after 6-OHDA lesion, when there was a half reduction in the number of dopaminergic neurons, the iron level was increased compared with the normal rats; both the mRNA and protein expressions of CP decreased compared with the control. When rats began showing rotation behavior induced by apomorphine, usually after 6 weeks since 6-OHDA lesion, they are considered PD models. In these PD models, almost no dopaminergic neurons can be detected in the lesioned SN and nigral iron level was further increased. At this time point, a further decrease of CP was observed. These results show that FP1 and CP colocalize in the rat brain, indicating the coordinated actions of the two proteins in the cellular iron export, and suggest that decreased expression of CP in the SN is involved in the nigral iron accumulation of 6-OHDA-lesioned rats.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The ability of B cells to negatively regulate cellular immune responses and inflammation has been described. The regulatory B (Breg) cells with the unique CD1d(hi)CD5(+)CD19(+) phenotype and the capacity to produce IL-10 are potent negative regulators of inflammation and autoimmunity in several in vivo mouse models of autoimmune disease. AIM To investigate whether Breg cell deficiency participates in autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) in an animal model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Non-obese diabetic (NOD).H-2(h4) mice at 4 weeks of age were randomly divided into control and iodine-treated groups; the iodine-treated group received sterile water containing 0.005 % NaI for 10 or 20 weeks. The percentage of CD1d(hi)CD5(+)CD19(+) Bregs, CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) regulatory T cells (Treg) and CD4(+)IL17(+) T helper 17 cells (Th17) in splenic mononuclear cells was detected by multicolor flow cytometry. The expression of IL-10 mRNA and TGF-β mRNA in splenocytes was measured by real-time RT-PCR. RESULTS NOD.H-2(h4) mice spontaneously develop anti-thyroglobulin autoantibodies and intrathyroidal lymphocyte infiltration when supplied with iodine in drinking water. Mice with AIT had a decreased CD1d(hi)CD5(+)CD19(+) Breg subset and reduced IL-10 mRNA expression in splenocytes compared with controls (p < 0.05) and maintained relatively low levels during the development of thyroiditis. The proportion of Breg cells was negatively correlated with the proportion of Th17 cells, but positively correlated with CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) Treg cells in splenocytes (All p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The defective expression of Breg cells combined with impaired Treg cells and enhanced Th17 cells might play an important role in the development of iodine-induced AIT in NOD.H-2(h4) mice.

Abstract
Zonadhesin is a mosaic protein in sperm membrane fractions that binds directly and in a species-specific manner to the extracellular matrix (zona pellucida) of the oocyte. The active form of pig zonadhesin from capacitated, epididymal spermatozoa comprises two covalently associated polypeptide chains of M(r) 105,000 (p105) and M(r) 45,000 (p45). Here we report detection and characterization of multiple zonadhesin isoforms in freshly ejaculated cells. Antibodies to the predicted von Willebrand D0-D1, D1, and D3 domains of pig zonadhesin recognized p105, p45, and additional M(r) 60,000-90,000 polypeptides in particulate fractions of uncapacitated cells. Although the p105/45 form constituted a minority of all zonadhesin forms in sperm membrane fractions, it was the predominant form capable of binding to the pig zona pellucida. Zonadhesin-binding sites were distributed over the entire zona pellucida. Anion exchange chromatography resolved active, p105/45 zonadhesin from the p60-90 inactive forms. Without disulfide bond reduction some zonadhesin was M(r) > or = 300,000, including M(r) 300,000 and 900,000 proteins comprising in part multimers of p105/45. The multimeric forms did not bind the zona pellucida as avidly as did the p105/45 monomer. Expressed D1 and D3 domain fragments containing the CG(L/V)CG sequence motif spontaneously formed multimers at -246 mV E(h) in vitro. Double Cys --> Ser mutants of the D1 fragment formed multimers with the same apparent kinetics as the wild type protein. Zonadhesin localized to the apical head of pig spermatozoa. We conclude that a heterogeneous combination of specific proteolysis and intermolecular disulfide bond formation in the sperm head generates multiple forms of zonadhesin with differing avidities for the zona pellucida.

Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the stability of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) as a function of solution pH, temperature, and pig skin with and without enzyme inhibitors. LHRH, incubated with a 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 2.5-8.1), pig skin, and pig skin with enzyme inhibitors, was analyzed using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. The solution's pH affected the rate constants of LHRH, following apparent first-order kinetics. Maximum stability was achieved at pH 6.05. Therefore, the effect of various temperatures (i.e., 65, 75, 80, and 90 degrees C) was studied on the stability of LHRH at pH 6.05. The activation energy for the overall reaction was 23.4 kcal/mol at pH 6.05. The shelf-life of LHRH at 25 degrees C and pH 6.05, calculated using the Arrhenius equation, was approximately 4 years. The rate constant of LHRH in the skin (area: 9 cm2; thickness: 0.5 mm) was 0.167 hr-1. Out of three inhibitors (i.e., aprotinin, bestatin, and leupeptin), bestatin had the best stabilizing effect on the degradation of LHRH by the skin. The rate constant of LHRH in the presence of bestatin was 0.082 hr-1. Sixty percent of LHRH was found to be degraded in the skin within 5 hr in the absence of enzyme inhibitors, whereas only 33% of LHRH was degraded in the presence of bestatin (an aminopeptidase inhibitor).

Abstract
A current review of the application of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) to the analysis of ignitable liquids and explosive residues is presented along with experimental results demonstrating the relative effects of controllable variables. Variables discussed include fiber chemistry, adsorption and desorption temperatures, extraction and desorption times, fiber sampling placement (direct, headspace, and partial headspace) and matrix effects, including water content. SPME is shown to be an inexpensive, rapid and sensitive method for the analysis of ignitable liquids and high explosives residues from solid debris samples and from aqueous samples. Explosives are readily detected at parts per trillion concentrations and ignitable liquids are reproducibly detected at levels below those using conventional methods.

Abstract
The stability of [Arg(8)]-vasopressin (AVP) as a function of buffer pH, buffer concentration, salt concentration, temperature, and skin with and without enzyme inhibitors was investigated. AVP was analyzed by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The results indicated that the buffer's pH affected the degradation rate of AVP. Buffer ions (H(2)PO(4)(-) and HPO(4)(2-)) and salt concentrations had no effect on the degradation of AVP. Maximum stability was achieved at pH 3.35 among pH values tested. The activation energy for the overall reaction was 21.5 kcal mol(-1) at pH 3.35. From the Arrhenius equation, the shelf-life of AVP at 25 degrees C and pH 3.35 was calculated to be 1.38 years. The degradation rate of AVP in the skin (area: 9 cm(2), thickness: 0.5 mm) was 0.22 h(-1). Bestatin (an aminopeptidase inhibitor) had the best stabilizing effect on the degradation of AVP by skin among the three enzyme inhibitors (i.e. aprotinin, bestatin, and leupeptin) studied. The degradation rate of AVP in the skin was reduced to 0. 059 h(-1) in the presence of bestatin in comparison with no inhibitor (0.22 h(-1)).
