Abstract
In this study, in situ silver (Ag) - porous ZnO photocatalysts were synthesized via solvothermal and post-annealing treatment. The formation of the porous ZnO structure due to the removal of organic moieties from the inorganic-organic hybrids Ag-ZnS(en)0.5 during the annealing process. The optimal Ag-ZnO photocatalyst showed excellent photocatalytic degradation activity, with 95.5% orange II dye and 97.2% bisphenol A (BPA) degradation under visible light conditions. Additionally, the photocatalytic inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) led to a 97% inactivation rate after 2 h under dark conditions. Trapping experiments suggest that the superoxide anion (O2-) radicals are the main active species to degrade the organic dye. The improved photocatalytic dye degradation activity and inactivation of bacteria were attributed to the synergistic effect of Ag and porous ZnO structure, increased surface area, and efficiently separated the photoexcited charge carriers. This work could provide an effective strategy for the synthesis of porous structures toward organic pollutant degradation and bacterial inactivation in wastewater.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BpA) is an endocrine-disrupting substance commonly found in plastics and resins. It is reported that BpA exposure induces lipid accumulation in humans, similar to obesogenic compounds. The main objective of this study is to investigate the removal of BpA using Lactiplantibacillus sp. D10-2, and to examine its potential for reducing BpA-induced lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cell line model. The heat-dried cells of Lactiplantibacillus sp. D10-2 showed 69.7% removal efficiency for initial BpA concentration of 10 μg/mL, which was 30.5% higher than the live cells. The absence of metabolites or intermediates in BpA removal studies indicates that the Lactiplantibacillus sp. D10-2 strain removed BpA by adsorption process. The hydrophobic interactions of heat-dried Lactiplantibacillus sp. D10-2 cells were observed to be higher with 33.7% compared to live cells (15.0%), suggesting a stronger ability to bind with BpA. Although the BpA binding onto Lactiplantibacillus sp. D10-2 was not affected by pH, it was confirmed that as the temperature increases, the binding ability got decreased due to mass transfer and diffusion of BpA molecules. Treatment with Lactiplantibacillus sp. D10-2 (0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1%) reduced lipid accumulation by 61.7, 58.0, 52.7 and 60.4% in 3T3-L1 cells exposed with BpA. In addition, it was confirmed that Lactiplantibacillus sp. D10-2 treatment suppressed the protein expression levels of lipogenesis-related PPARγ and C/EBPα in 3T3-L1 cells. The results of the study suggest that the Lactiplantibacillus sp. D10-2 strain can remove BpA and reduce BpA-accelerated lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells.

Abstract
The limited yield of Ulmus davidiana var. japonica root bark (URB) extract is considered an economic loss to the food industry. Improving extraction yield and bioactivity through fermentation increase the industrial usage of URB. The study aims to optimize the fermentation with cellulolytic and pectinolytic bacteria and evaluate the bioactivity and anti-Helicobacter pylori activity of the fermented URB extract. URB fermentation with the Bacillus licheniformis FLa3, isolated from salted seafood (Sardinella zunasi), under optimal conditions (37 °C, pH 6, 10% inoculum dose, and 36 h) improved the extraction yield by 36% compared to the control. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of the fermented extract were significantly higher than non-fermented extract. High-performance liquid chromatography results confirmed that the fermentation increased the proportion of bioactive components such as catechin (171.7%), epicatechin (144.3%), quercetin (27.3%), and kaempferol (16.7%). The results confirmed that the fermentation increased both the extraction yield and bioactivity.

Abstract
Aralia elata (AE) is an anti-inflammatory, polyphenolic containing medicinal plant. However, little is known about AE and its application to ulcerative colitis (UC). This study aimed to confirm AE extract's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in vivo and in vitro. The in vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated by measuring total polyphenol and flavonoid content in AE extract. AE extract (10 000 mg/L) contained 186.8 mg GAE/g polyphenol and 81.9 mg QE/g flavonoid. Mice were divided into 6 groups, including control, which received normal saline, and treatment groups, which received dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) with or without AE extract (250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg). RAW 264.7 macrophage cells were divided into 2 groups: control and treatment. RAW 264.7 macrophage cells treated with sterile double distilled water, 1 mg/L lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and AE extracts (25, 50, 75, 100 µg/mL) were used to assess the cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory activity. High-performance liquid chromatography, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits, and histology were employed to analyze the AE extract contents, nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6, as oxidative stress markers. In addition, the disease activity index (DAI) and cytotoxicity were determined in mice and cells, respectively. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis revealed that AE extract is rich in chlorogenic acid (96 ± 0.01 mg/g). DSS increased the DAI and levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and immune cell infiltration compared with those of the control animals. Furthermore, LPS eventually reduced cell viability and increased the levels of NO, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in contrast to control cells. After treatment, a noticeable reduction was observed in the levels of DAI, NO, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 compared to those without AE treatments. Overall, AE extract is safe and had anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, AE extract can be considered a potential pre-treatment supplement for UC.

Abstract
Sodium butyrate is well known in stimulating growth and differentiation of cancer cells. In the present study, butyrate treatment caused decreases in thymidine incorporation in the early passages (45-60) of C6 glioma cells. In addition, butyrate also caused decreases in inositol incorporation and transient ATP-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization suggesting that butyrate altered general mechanisms of Ca2+ signaling in these cells. To gain direct insight into the crosstalk between sodium butyrate and Ca2+ signaling in transcriptional regulation, we investigated the induction of the Ca2+-sensitive immediate early genes (IEGs), c-fos, nur77 and c-myc. Sodium butyrate per se enhanced the expression of c-fos mRNA, and the enhanced levels were maintained for 24 h, but over the same time period, the initially increased levels of nur77 expression tailed off, while c-myc expression was slightly reduced. Increasing intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) by thapsgargin and A23187 induced the expression of both c-fos and nur77 mRNA expression, and synergistic effects were observed when cells were incubated with sodium butyrate plus thapsgargin and A23187. However, removal of both extracellular Ca2+ by EGTA, or intracellular free Ca2+ with BAPTA did not affect the sodium butyrate-induced c-fos and nur77 mRNA. These results suggest that although sodium butyrate altered Ca2+ signaling which is an important regulatory mechanism for c-fos and nur77 expression, nevertheless the sodium butyrate-induced c-fos and nur77 expression may be not in fact mediated through Ca2+ signaling.

Abstract
We examined the changes in phospholipid metabolisms in sodium butyrate-treated C6 glioma cells. Treatment of 2.5 mM sodium butyrate for 24 h induced an increase in the activity of glutamine synthetase, suggesting that these cells were under differentiation. Similar treatment was associated with (i) increased arachidonic acid incorporation into phosphatidylcholine, and (ii) decreased arachidonic acid incorporation into phosphatidylinositol and (iii) phosphatidylethanolamine. These effects were subsequently investigated by examining the acylation process, de novo biosynthesis, and the agonist-stimulated phosphoinositides hydrolysis in these cells. Our results indicated that sodium butyrate stimulated the acylation of arachidonic acid into lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, and lysophosphatidylinositol. The glycerol incorporation into these lipids was not affected, but the inositol incorporation into total chloroform extracts and Pl and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate was decreased in the sodium butyrate-treated cells. Moreover, the accumulation of the rapid histamine-stimulated phosphoinositide metabolites, i.e., inositol monophosphate, inositol diphosphate, and inositol triphosphate (IP3) was decreased in these cells. To elucidate whether the decreased inositol phosphates were due to a decrease in the phosphoinositides hydrolysis, we measured the transient IP3 production directly by a receptor-binding assay. Our results indicated that histamine-stimulated transient IP3 formations were decreased. Taken together, these results indicated that multiple changes by multiple mechanisms of phospholipid metabolisms were found in sodium butyrate-treated C6 glioma cells. The decreased IP3 formation and its subsequent action, i.e., Ca2+ mobilization, may play an early but pivotal role by which sodium butyrate induces C6 glioma cell differentiation.

Abstract
In order to know the effect of mercury pollution on the serotonergic system of fish, serotonin concentrations in a discrete brain region of tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus, were examined. Serotonin concentration was measured using a high performance liquid chromatography system with electrochemical detector. In male fish, the concentrations of serotonin were 1.468 +/- 0.350, 0.811 +/- 0.190 and 0.330 +/- 0.061 micrograms/g wet tissue in hypothalamus, telencephalon and optic lobe, respectively. The serotonin content was significantly different between each region; the hypothalamus had a higher content than that of the telencephalon and optic lobe. The serotonin concentration in female hypothalamus was 1.102 +/- 0.112 micrograms/g wet tissue which was significantly lower than that in males. However, serotonin concentration in the telencephalon and optic lobe showed no difference between male and female. After exposure to 0.015 and 0.03 ppm HgCl2 for 6 months beginning 7 days posthatching, male sample fish showed a significantly dose-dependent decrease in serotonin concentration in the hypothalamus. But a similar phenomenon was not found in other regions of the brain. These results suggest that exposure to HgCl2 results in an attenuated development of the serotonergic system in the hypothalamus of fish.
