Abstract
The effects of high pressure treatment were investigated on the physical properties and possible shelf-life extension of soy protein-based high moisture meat analog (S-HMMA) produced by the extrusion process. High pressure treatment was applied at 200, 400 and 600 MPa for 5, 10 and 15 min. Physical properties of S-HMMA including appearance, moisture content, color and texture were analyzed during storage at 4 °C for 8 weeks. Higher pressure and longer storage time significantly reduced moisture content by creating more air cells and increasing cavitation. L* value of S-HMMA products increased at higher levels of pressurization while increasing storage time tended to decrease lightness. The unpressurized control S-HMMA product showed increasing hardness and toughness, while S-HMMA products subjected to various pressures exhibited higher hardness and toughness over time compared to the control sample at 200-400 MPa. Products treated with high pressure (600 MPa) showed the highest reductions in microbial growth but the aroma of the beans became more pronounced.

Abstract
Nitrofuran (NF) contamination in food products is a global problem resulting in the banned utilization and importation of nitrofuran contaminated products. A novel chromogenic detection method using a specific DNA aptamer with high affinity and specificity to nitrofurans was developed. Single-stranded DNA aptamers specific to nitrofuran metabolites, including 3-amino-2-oxazolidinone (AOZ), 3-amino-5-methylmorpholino-2-oxazolidinone (AMOZ), and 1-aminohydantoin (AHD), were isolated using magnetic bead-SELEX. The colorimetric detection of nitrofurans using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibited an AOZ detection range of 0.01-0.06 ppb with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.03 ppb. At the same time, this system could detect AMOZ and AHD at a range of 0.06 ppb and 10 ppb, respectively. The fast nitrofuran extraction method was optimized for food, such as fish tissues and honey, adjusted to be completed within 3-6 h. This novel apta-chromogenic detection method could detect NF metabolites with a sensitivity below the minimum required performance limit (MPRL). This analysis will be valuable for screening, with a shortened time of detection for aquaculture products such as shrimp and fish muscle tissues.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to identify genes associated with 305-day milk yield (MY) and fat yield (FY) that also influence the adaptability of the Thai multibreed dairy cattle population to tropical conditions. METHODS A total of 75,776 imputed and actual single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 2,661 animals were used to identify genomic regions associated with MY and FY using the single-step genomic best linear unbiased predictions. Fixed effects included herd-yearseason, breed regression, heterosis regression and calving age regression effects. Random effects were animal additive genetic and residual. Individual SNPs with a p-value smaller than 0.05 were selected for gene mapping, function analysis, and quantitative trait loci (QTL) annotation analysis. RESULTS A substantial number of QTLs associated with MY (9,334) and FY (8,977) were identified by integrating SNP genotypes and QTL annotations. Notably, we discovered 17 annotated QTLs within the health and exterior QTL classes, corresponding to nine unique genes. Among these genes, Rho GTPase activating protein 15 (ARHGAP15) and catenin alpha 2 (CTNNA2) have previously been linked to physiological traits associated with tropical adaptation in various cattle breeds. Interestingly, these two genes also showed signs of positive selection, indicating their potential role in conferring tolerance to trypanosomiasis, a prevalent tropical disease. CONCLUSION Our findings provide valuable insights into the genetic basis of MY and FY in the Thai multibreed dairy cattle population, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms of tropical adaptation. The identified genes represent promising targets for future breeding strategies aimed at improving milk and fat production while ensuring resilience to tropical challenges. This study significantly contributes to our understanding of the genetic factors influencing milk production and adaptability in dairy cattle, facilitating the development of sustainable genetic selection strategies and breeding programs in tropical environments.

Abstract
This study explores the modification of pore structures in porous silica materials synthesized using sodium silicate and waste gelatin, under varying silica-to-gelatin ratios. At ratios of 1.0-1.5, bimodal porous silica with mesopores and macropores emerged due to spaces between silica nanoparticles and clusters, following gelatin elimination. The study further evaluated the obtained bimodal porous silica as polyethyleneimine (PEI) supports for CO2 capture, alongside PEI-loaded unimodal porous silica and hollow silica sphere for comparison. Notably, the PEI-loaded bimodal silica showcased superior CO2 uptake, achieving 145.6 mg g-1 at 90 °C. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed PEI's uniform distribution within the pores of bimodal silica, unlike the excessive surface layering seen in unimodal silica. Conversely, PEI completely filled the hollow porous silica's interior, extending gas molecule diffusion distance. All sorbents displayed nearly constant CO2 adsorption across 20 cycles, demonstrating outstanding stability. Notably, the bimodal porous silica displayed a negligible capacity loss, underscoring its robust performance.

Abstract
A spatiotemporal investigation of hematophagous fly prevalence was conducted over a 1-year period on 12 beef cattle farms located in major livestock areas of Bangkok, Thailand, using Vavoua traps. The survey revealed 5,018 hematophagous flies belonging to Muscidae and Tabanidae, with the 3 dominant species identified as Stomoxys calcitrans (Linnaeus) (2,354; 46.91%), Musca crassirostris Stein (1,528; 30.45%), and Haematobia exigua de Meijere (922; 18.37%). The abundance of S. calcitrans per trap per week was significantly higher during the rainy season (45.64 ± 14.10), followed by the cold and dry seasons (6.39 ± 2.16 and 3.04 ± 1.27, respectively). The relative abundance of S. calcitrans reached the highest apparent density per trap per day (ADT) index of 9.83 in August 2022 during the rainy season. Subsequently, there was a rapid decline, and the ADT index dropped to nearly zero in December 2022 during the cold season. This low abundance continued through the dry months from March to May 2023. The higher rainfall and relative humidity could significantly contribute to the high relative abundance of S. calcitrans. In contrast, M. crassirostris and H. exigua showed population fluctuations that were not significantly associated with seasonal changes and weather conditions. Remote sensing data and spatial regression analyses using ordinary least squares regression showed the high spatial density of S. calcitrans in the north direction of the Khlong Sam Wa district during the rainy season; it shifted toward the south in the cold and dry seasons, corresponding with rainfall.

Abstract
N-linked glycosylation is a pivotal post-translational modification that significantly influences various aspects of protein biology. Autophagy, a critical cellular process, is instrumental in cell survival and maintenance. The hepatitis B virus (HBV) has evolved mechanisms to manipulate this process to ensure its survival within host cells. Significantly, post-translational N-linked glycosylation in the large surface protein of HBV (LHBs) influences virion assembly, infectivity, and immune evasion. This study investigated the role of N-linked glycosylation of LHBs in autophagy, and its subsequent effects on HBV replication and secretion. LHBs plasmids were constructed by incorporating single-, double-, and triple-mutated N-linked glycosylation sites through amino acid substitutions at N4, N112, and N309. In comparison to the wild-type LHBs, N-glycan mutants, including N309Q, N4-309Q, N112-309Q, and N4-112-309Q, induced autophagy gene expression and led to autophagosome accumulation in hepatoma cells. Acridine orange staining of cells expressing LHBs mutations revealed impaired lysosomal acidification, suggesting potential blockage of autophagic flux at later stages. Furthermore, N-glycan mutants increased the mRNA expression of HBV surface antigen (HBsAg). Notably, N309Q significantly elevated HBx oncogene level. The LHBs mutants, particularly N309Q and N112-309Q, significantly enhanced HBV replication, whereas N309Q, N4-309Q, and N4-112-309Q markedly increased HBV progeny secretion. Remarkably, our findings demonstrated that autophagy is indispensable for the impact of N-linked glycosylation mutations in LHBs on HBV secretion, as evidenced by experiments with a 3-methyladenine (3-MA) inhibitor. Our study provides pioneering insights into the interplay between N-linked glycosylation mutations in LHBs, host autophagy, and the HBV life cycle. Additionally, we offer a new clue for further investigation into carcinogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). These findings underscore the potential of targeting either N-linked glycosylation modifications or the autophagic pathway for the development of innovative therapies against HBV and/or HCC.

Abstract
WHO tube and CDC bottle bioassays are currently available for insecticide resistance monitoring and malaria transmission research. Multiple parameters including mosquito density, age, and nutritional status may affect the readout in these bioassays' tests. This study aims to assess the effects of experimental factors on knockdown and mortality measurements in dominant malaria vectors in Thailand following exposure to sublethal and lethal doses of transfluthrin. The effects of (i) 3 different mosquito batch sizes (5, 10, and 20 individuals) and (ii) 2 age groups (3-5 and 20-23 days old) on outcomes measured using the WHO tube (14.7 µg/cm2) and CDC bottle bioassay discriminating concentration (0.006 µg/cm2) against 2 laboratory strains: Anopheles dirus Peyton & Harrison and Anopheles minimus Theobald (species A) and wild-caught Anopheles harrisoni Harbach & Manguin (species C). Our results showed higher knockdown at 1-h exposure using WHO tube and CDC bottle bioassays containing 20 individuals compared to batches containing 10 and 5 individuals. Older mosquitoes showed greater susceptibility than younger test population, especially for An. mininus. Our study supports WHO recommendations for using 3- to 5-day-old mosquitoes. It also validates Praulin et al. (2022) proposal to divide the cohort into smaller batches with more test replicates when it is not practicable to test 25 mosquitoes per replicate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study compared five distinct sets of biological pathways and associated genes related to semen volume (VOL), number of sperm (NS), and sperm motility (MOT) in the Thai multibreed dairy population. METHODS The phenotypic data included 13,533 VOL records, 12,773 NS records, and 12,660 MOT records from 131 bulls. The genotypic data consisted of 76,519 imputed and actual single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 72 animals. The SNP additive genetic variances for VOL, NS, and MOT were estimated for SNP windows of one SNP (SW1), ten SNP (SW10), 30 SNP (SW30), 50 SNP (SW50), and 100 SNP (SW100) using a single-step genomic best linear unbiased prediction approach. The fixed effects in the model were contemporary group, ejaculate order, bull age, ambient temperature, and heterosis. The random effects accounted for animal additive genetic effects, permanent environment effects, and residual. The SNPs explaining at least 0.001% of the additive genetic variance in SW1, 0.01% in SW10, 0.03% in SW30, 0.05% in SW50, and 0.1% in SW100 were selected for gene identification through the NCBI database. The pathway analysis utilized genes associated with the identified SNP windows. RESULTS Comparison of overlapping and non-overlapping SNP windows revealed notable differences among the identified pathways and genes associated with the studied traits. Overlapping windows consistently yielded a larger number of shared biological pathways and genes than non-overlapping windows. In particular, overlapping SW30 and SW50 identified the largest number of shared pathways and genes in the Thai multibreed dairy population. CONCLUSION This study yielded valuable insights into the genetic architecture of VOL, NS, and MOT. It also highlighted the importance of assessing overlapping and non-overlapping SNP windows of various sizes for their effectiveness to identify shared pathways and genes influencing multiple traits.

Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of different protein levels on the growth performance, feed efficiency and nutritional values, and phase feeding of the 2-spotted cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus de Geer). In experiment 1, 4 crude protein (CP) diets were formulated to contain 18%, 20%, 22%, or 24% CP, respectively. A sample of 7-day-old 3,600 crickets was equally divided into 24 plastic boxes (150 crickets each) in a completely randomized design with 4 diets and 6 replications. In experiment 2, 2-phase feedings were used. For starting period (days 7-18), crickets in all treatments were fed a diet containing 22% CP. During the growing period (days 19-35), 3 groups of crickets were fed diets containing 18%, 20%, and 22% CP. In the overall period of experiment 1, the crickets fed with 22% CP diet had greater body weight compared to those fed with 18% CP diet. In addition, the crickets fed with 22% CP diet had the lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR). The broken-line model indicated the growth pattern changed on day 18. In experiment 2, the crickets fed with 20% CP diet from days 19 to 35 had greater growth performance and lower FCR than those fed with 18% CP, but not different from those fed with 22% CP. In conclusion, 22% CP can increase growth performance by improving the feed efficiency of crickets. The implementation of 2-phase feedings using 20% CP, during the growing period, could be considered as a cost-effective strategy for sustainable cricket production.

Duckweed-associated actinobacteria are co-existing microbes that affect duckweed growth and adaptation. In this study, we aimed to report a novel actinobacterium species and explore its ability to enhance duckweed growth. Strain DW7H6T was isolated from duckweed, Lemna aequinoctialis. Phylogenetic analysis based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the strain was most closely related to Actinomycetospora straminea IY07-55T (99.0%), Actinomycetospora chibensis TT04-21T (98.9%), Actinomycetospora lutea TT00-04T (98.8%) and Actinomycetospora callitridis CAP 335T (98.4%). Chemotaxonomic and morphological characteristics of strain DW7H6T were consistent with members of the genus Actinomycetospora, while average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) between the draft genomes of this strain and its closely related type strains were below the proposed threshold values used for species discrimination. Based on chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic, phenotypic, and genomic evidence obtained, we describe a novel Actinomycetospora species, for which the name Actinomycetospora lemnae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DW7H6T (TBRC 15165T, NBRC 115294T). Additionally, the duckweed-associated actinobacterium strain DW7H6T was able to enhance duckweed growth when compared to the control, in which the number of fronds and biomass dry weight were increased by up to 1.4 and 1.3 fold, respectively. Moreover, several plant-associated gene features in the genome of strain DW7H6T potentially involved in plant-microbe interactions were identified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitexin, a flavonoid in various foods and medicinal plants, has potential clinical, therapeutic and food applications due to its bioactive properties and beneficial health effects. However, its poor water solubility causes low oral bioavailability and poor absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, limiting its practical applications. Encapsulation is an efficient approach to overcome these limitations. This study demonstrates the encapsulation of vitexin into poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether-grafted chitosan (mPEG-g-CTS)/alginate (ALG) polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles. RESULTS The vitexin-loaded mPEG-g-CTS/ALG nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The vitexin-loaded mPEG-g-CTS/ALG nanoparticles had a spherical shape, 50-200 nm in diameter, and negatively charged surface (-27 to -38 mV). They possessed a loading capacity of 4-60%, encapsulation efficiency of 50-100% and antioxidant activity (30-52% 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl decoloration) when their initial vitexin content was 0.02-0.64 g g-1 polymers. Successful vitexin loading into mPEG-g-CTS/ALG nanoparticles was also indirectly confirmed by the enhanced thermal stability of both polymers and the residual soybean oil used in the emulsion preparation step and delayed oxidative degradation of the residual soybean oil. Vitexin's in vitro release from the mPEG-g-CTS/ALG nanoparticles was very fast in phosphate buffer at pH 11, followed by pH 7, and very slow in acetate buffer at pH 3. The gastrointestinal digestion of vitexin increased by encapsulating into mPEG-g-CTS/ALG nanoparticles. CONCLUSIONS Vitexin-loaded mPEG-g-CTS/ALG nanoparticles were successfully fabricated using a two-step process of oil-in-water emulsion and ionic gelation without the use of pungent odor acids and other crosslinkers. The obtained nanoparticles are suitable for oral intestinal-specific delivery systems. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Silkworm protein applications are limited in the food industry because of their low emulsifying and foaming properties. This study investigated the effect of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) for 15 and 30 min, microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) for 1 and 2 min, and freeze-thaw-assisted extraction (FTAE) for one and three cycles on the yield, extraction efficiency, functional properties, and antioxidant activities of proteins from silkworm pupae. Relationships of protein structure and functionality were also examined. RESULTS UAE for 15 and 30 min and MAE for 1 and 2 min significantly increased protein yield and extraction efficiency compared to the control. Both UAE and MAE processes, especially MAE for 2 min, greatly improved the emulsifying and foaming properties of extracted proteins. FTAE one and three cycles did not increase the protein yield and extraction efficiency but showed enhanced functional properties, especially foaming. All samples showed changes in protein structure, such as increased exposed sulfhydryl (SH) contents, denaturation temperatures, and enthalpy. Only MAE samples had low-molecular-weight proteins based on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. UAE and FTAE samples had significantly higher antioxidant activities, while the MAE process showed the opposite. CONCLUSION UAE and MAE processes improved the yield and functionality of extracted silkworm proteins, while MAE negatively impacted protein antioxidant activities. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Volatile pyrethroids exert a range of both lethal and behavioral effects on mosquitoes through the passive release of insecticides into the atmosphere. We investigated the protective efficacy (PE) of transfluthrin-treated jute (TI-jute) and cotton (TI-cotton) fabrics, worn at the back of a protective black vest, against laboratory-reared pyrethroid susceptible and resistant strains of Aedes aegypti (L.) in a semifield system (SFS). Each fabric (1,029 cm2) was treated with 1.79 mg/cm2 of transfluthrin as the intervention. Human landing collections were conducted by 2 collectors seated in designated treatment and control compartments of the SFS. The trials were conducted for 41 days, with 16 days partitioned into morning and evening phases. Furthermore, we examined blood feeding behavior and fecundity of the surviving mosquitoes post-exposure. Results showed that in the morning, the PE of TI-jute (49.4%) was higher than that of TI-cotton (36.8%). TI-jute demonstrated a lower PE of 9.6% against the transfluthrin-resistant strain. Remarkably, a significantly higher number of eggs were laid by the transfluthrin-resistant mosquitoes that survived the intervention (36.5 eggs/female) compared to the control group (11.8 eggs/female). These findings suggest that TI-jute can help protect against bites and alter the life traits of Ae. aegypti. The study highlights that the timing of the intervention during the day affected the efficacy of TI-jute and TI-cotton, while sublethal exposure to transfluthrin stimulated egg production in the resistant strain. These are critical challenges that warrant attention in vector control strategies. Investigating this phenomenon in mosquito reproduction necessitates future research at a molecular level.

Abstract
Bagasse-derived carbon electrodes were developed by doping with nitrogen functional groups and compositing with high-capacity MnO2 nanoparticles (MnO2/NBGC). The bagasse-derived biochar was N-doped by refluxing in urea, followed by the deposition of MnO2 nanoparticles onto its porous surface via the hydrothermal reduction of KMnO4. Different initial KMnO4 loading concentrations (i.e. 5, 10, 40, and 100 mM) were applied to optimize the composite morphology and the corresponding electrochemical performance. Material characterization confirmed that the carbon composite has a mesoporous structure along with the dispersion of MnO2 nano-particles on the N-containing carbon surface. It was found that the 5-MnO2/NBGC sample exhibited the highest electrochemical performance with a reversible capacity of 760 mA h g-1 at a current density of 186 mA g-1. It delivered reversible capacities of 488 and 390 mA h g-1 in cycle tests at 372 and 744 mA g-1, respectively, for 150 cycles and presented good reversibility with nearly 100% coulombic efficiency. In addition, it could exert high capacities up to 388 and 301 mA h g-1 even under high current densities of 1860 and 3720 mA g-1, respectively. Moreover, most of the prepared composite products showed high rate capability with great reversibility up to more than 90% after testing at a high current density of 3720 mA g-1. The great electrochemical performance of the MnO2/NBGC nanocomposite electrode can be attributed to the synergistic impact of the hierarchical architecture of the MnO2 nanocrystals deposited on porous carbon and the capacitive effect of the N-containing defects within the carbon material. The nanostructure of the MnO2 particles deposited on porous carbon limits its large volume change during cycling and promotes good adhesion of MnO2 nanoparticles with the substrate. Meanwhile, the capacitive effect of the exposed N-functional groups enables fast ionic conduction and reduces interfacial resistance at the electrode interface.

Abstract
An efficient synthesis of 5,7-dihydroxy-4-methylcoumarin from phloroglucinol with ethyl acetoacetate in the UiO-66-SO3H metal-organic framework is reported. The potential of UiO-66-SO3H as a solid catalyst was determined through optimized-condition experiments and quantum molecular calculations. The optimal conditions for the synthesis of 5,7-dihydroxy-4-methylcoumarin with UiO-66-SO3H were as follows: phloroglucinol/ethyl acetoacetate molar ratio = 1:1.6, reaction time = 4 h, and temperature = 140 °C, for which the reaction yield reached 66.0%. The reusability of UiO-66-SO3H catalysts for Pechmann condensation was examined. The activation energy of the reaction occurring on a sulfonic group of the UiO-66-SO3H catalyst was 12.6 kcal/mol, which was significantly lower than 22.6 kcal/mol of the same reaction on the UiO-66 catalyst. To comprehend the reaction mechanism, density functional theory with the ONIOM approach was applied for the synthesis of coumarin on the UiO-66-SO3H and UiO-66 clusters. A possible reaction mechanism was proposed involving three steps: a trans-esterification step, an intramolecular hydroxyalkylation step, and a dehydration step. The rate-determining step was suggested to be the first step which acquired an activation energy of 15.7 and 29.5 kcal/mol, respectively. Information from this study can be used as guidelines to develop more efficient catalytic metal-organic frameworks for various organic syntheses.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 reverse transcriptase (HIV-1 RT) is responsible for the transcription of viral RNA genomes into DNA genomes and has become an important target for the treatment of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). This study used biophysical techniques to characterize the HIV-1 RT structure, monomer forms, and the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) bound forms. Inactive p66W401A and p51W401A were selected as models to study the HIV-1 RT monomer structures. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy revealed that the unliganded forms of p66W401A protein and p51W401A protein had similar conformation to each other in solution. The complexes of p66W401A or p51W401A with inhibitors showed similar conformations to p66 in the RT heterodimer bound to the NNRTIs. Furthermore, the results of paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE)-assisted NMR revealed that the unliganded forms of the p66W401A and p51W401A conformations were different from the unliganded heterodimer, characterized by a greater distance between the fingers and thumb subdomains. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments confirmed that p66W401A and p51W401A can bind with inhibitors, similar to the p66/p51 heterodimer. The findings of this study increase the structural knowledge base of HIV-1 RT monomers, which may be helpful in the future design of potent viral inhibitors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was to estimate heritabilities, additive genetic correlations, and phenotypic correlations between number of piglets born alive (NBA), litter birth weight (LTBW), number of piglets weaned (NPW) and litter weaning weight (LTWW) in different parities of Landrace (L), Yorkshire (Y), Landrace×Yorkshire (LY), and Yorkshire×Landrace (YL) sows in a commercial swine operation in Northern Thailand. METHODS Two models were utilized, a single trait repeatability model (RM) and a multiple trait animal model (MTM). The RM assumed reproductive records from different parities to be repeated values of the same trait, whereas the MTM assumed these records to be different traits. The two models accounted for the fixed effects of farrowing year-season, genetic group of the sow, heterosis, and age at first farrowing, and the random effects of sow, boar, and residual. RESULTS Heritability estimates from RM were 0.02±0.01 for NBA, 0.10±0.01 for LTBW, 0.04±0.01 for NPW, and 0.11±0.01 for LTWW. Heritability estimates from MTM fluctuated across parities, ranging from 0.04±0.01 in parity 2 to 0.09±0.02 in parity 4 for NBA, 0.07±0.02 in parity 2 to 0.16±0.02 in parity 3 for LTBW, 0.04±0.02 in parity 4 to 0.08±0.01 in parity 1 for NPW, and 0.16±0.02 in parity 1 to 0.20±0.02 in parity 2 for LTWW. Additive genetic correlation estimates from MTM were also variable, ranging from 0.29±0.24 between NBA in parity 1 and NBA in parity 2 to 0.99±0.05 between LTWW in parity 3 and LTWW in parity 4. CONCLUSION The findings of this study highlight the advantage of using MTM for the genetic improvement of reproductive traits in swine and contribute to the development of sustainable swine breeding programs in Thailand.

Abstract
Human α-defensin 5 (HD5) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide exhibiting a wide range of antimicrobial activities. It plays an important role in mucosal immunity of the small intestine. HD5 exerts its bactericidal activities through multiple mechanisms, one of which involves HD5 inducing the formation of pores in the bacterial membrane, subsequently allowing the peptide to enter the bacterial cytoplasm. Nevertheless, the precise molecular intricacies underlying its bactericidal mechanisms remain inadequately understood. In this work, the Potential of Mean Force (PMF) was computed to delve into the energetic properties governing the movement of HD5 across the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) membrane, which is a representative model of the gram-negative bacterial membrane. Our findings indicate that the most favorable free energy is attained when HD5 binds to the surface of the LPS membrane. This favorable interaction is primarily driven by the strong interactions between arginine residues in HD5 and the charged head groups of LPS, serving as the predominant forces facilitating the adhesion of HD5 to the membrane. Our analysis reveals that a dimeric form of HD5 alone is sufficient to create a water-filled channel in the membrane; however, achieving the complete lysis of the gram-negative bacterial membrane requires higher-order oligomerization of HD5. Our results suggest that HD5 employs the toroidal pore formation mechanism to disrupt the integrity of the LPS membrane. Furthermore, we identified that the primary energy barrier obstructing HD5 from traversing the membrane is localized within the hydrophobic core of the membrane, which is also observed for other defensins. Additionally, our study demonstrates that a mixture of HD5-LPS leads to a thinning of the membrane. Taken together, this work provides a deeper insight into the molecular intricacies governing the behavior of HD5 as it translocates through the gram-negative bacterial membrane.

Abstract
Carnosine (CAR), anserine (ANS), homocarnosine (H-CAR), and ophidine (OPH) are histidine-containing dipeptides that show a wide range of therapeutic properties. With their potential physiological effects, these bioactive dipeptides are considered as bioactive food components. However, such dipeptides display low stability due to their rapid degradation by human serum carnosinase 1 (CN1). A dimeric CN1 hydrolyzes such histidine-containing compounds with different degrees of reactivities. A selective CN inhibitor, carnostatine (CARN), was reported to effectively inhibit CN's activity. To date, the binding mechanisms of CAR and ANS have been recently reported, while no clear information about H-CAR, OPH, and CARN binding is available. Thus, in this work, molecular dynamics simulations were employed to elucidate the binding mechanism of H-CAR, OPH, and CARN. Among all, the amine end and imidazole ring are the main players for trapping all of the ligands in a pocket. OPH shows the poorest binding affinity, while CARN displays the tightest binding. Such firm binding is due to the longer amine chain and the additional hydroxyl (-OH) group of CARN. H-CAR and CARN are analogous, but the absence of the -OH moiety in H-CAR significantly enhances its mobility, resulting in the reduction in binding affinity. For OPH which is an ANS analogue, the methylated imidazole ring destroys the OPH-CN1 interaction network at this region, consequentially leading to the poor binding ability. An insight into how CN recognizes and binds its substrates obtained here will be useful for designing an effective strategy to prolong the lifetime of CAR and its analogues after ingestion.

Abstract
The innate immune response is a first-line defense mechanism triggered by rabies virus (RABV). Interferon (IFN) signaling and ISG products have been shown to confer resistance to RABV at various stages of the virus's life cycle. Human tetherin, also known as bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2 (hBST2), is a multifunctional transmembrane glycoprotein induced by IFN that has been shown to effectively counteract many viruses through diverse mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate that hBST2 inhibits RABV budding by tethering new virions to the cell surface. It was observed that release of virus-like particles (VLPs) formed by RABV G (RABV-G VLPs), but not RABV M (RABV-G VLPs), were suppressed by hBST2, indicating that RABV-G has a specific effect on the hBST2-mediated restriction of RABV. The ability of hBST2 to prevent the release of RABV-G VLPs and impede RABV growth kinetics is retained even when hBST2 has mutations at dimerization and/or glycosylation sites, making hBST2 an antagonist to RABV, with multiple mechanisms possibly contributing to the hBST2-mediated suppression of RABV. Our findings expand the knowledge of host antiviral mechanisms that control RABV infection.

Abstract
The number of patients infected with simian malaria is gradually increasing in many countries of Southeast Asia and South America. The most important risk factor for a zoonotic spillover event of malarial infection is mostly influenced by the interaction between humans, monkeys, and vectors. In this study, we determine the protein expression profile of a wild stump-tailed macaque (Macaca arctoides) from a total of 32 blood samples collected from Prachuap Kiri Khan Province, Thailand. The malarial parasite was analyzed using nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays by dividing the samples into three groups: non-infected, mono-infected, and multiple-infected. The identification and differential proteomic expression profiles were determined using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and bioinformatics tools. A total of 9,532 proteins (total proteins) were identified with the filter-based selection methods analysis, and a subset of 440 proteins were found to be different between each group. Within these proteins, the GhostKOALA functional enrichment analysis indicated that 142 important proteins were associated with either of the organismal system (28.87%), genetic information processing (23.24%), environmental information processing (16.20%), metabolism (13.38%), cellular processes (11.97%), or causing human disease (6.34%). Additionally, using interaction network analysis, nine potential reporter proteins were identified. Here, we report the first study on the protein profiles differentially expressed in the serum of wild stump-tailed macaques between non, mono, and multiple malarial infected living in a natural transmission environment. Our findings demonstrate that differentially expressed proteins implicated in host defense through lipid metabolism, involved with TGF pathway were suppressed, while those with the apoptosis pathway, such as cytokines and proinflammation signals were increased. Including the parasite's response via induced hemolysis and disruption of myeloid cells. A greater understanding of the fundamental processes involved in a malarial infection and host response can be crucial for developing diagnostic tools, medication development, and therapies to improve the health of those affected by the disease.

Abstract
Lao Pa Koi (LPK) chicken is a popular fighting breed in Thailand, prized for (its unique characteristics acquired by selective breeding), and a valuable model for exploring the genetic diversity and admixture of red junglefowls and domestic chickens. In this study, genetic structure and diversity of LPK chicken were assessed using 28 microsatellite markers and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop sequences, and the findings were compared to a gene pool library from "The Siam Chicken Bioresource Project". High genetic variability was observed in LPK chickens using mtDNA D-loop haplotype analysis, and six haplotypes were identified. Microsatellite data revealed 182 alleles, with an average of 6.5 alleles per locus. These results confirmed the occurrence of genetic admixture of red junglefowl and Thai domestic chickens in LPK chicken breed. A maximum entropy modeling approach was used to analyze the spatial suitability and to assess the adaptive evolution of LPK chickens in diverse local environments. The model identified 82.52% of the area studied as unsuitable, and 9.34%, 7.11%, and 2.02% of the area indicated moderate, low, and high suitability, respectively. The highest contribution rate to land suitability for LPK chickens was found at an elevation of 100-250 m, suggesting the importance of elevation for their potential distribution. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the genetic origin of LPK chicken breed and identify resources for future genetic improvement.

Abstract
Repellents play a major role in reducing the risk of mosquito-borne diseases by preventing mosquito bites. The present study evaluated the mosquito-repellent activity of β-caryophyllene oxide 1% (BCO), vetiver oil 2.5% (VO), and their binary mixtures (BCO + VO (1:1), BCO + VO (2:1), BCO + VO (1:2)) against four laboratory-colonized mosquito species, Aedes aegypti (L.), Aedes albopictus (Skuse), Anopheles minimus Theobald, and Culex quinquefasciatus Say, using an excito-repellency assay system. In general, the compound mixtures produced a much stronger response in the mosquitoes than single compounds, regardless of the test conditions or species. The greatest synergetic effect was achieved with the combination of BCO + VO (1:2) in both contact and noncontact trials with An. minimus (74.07-78.18%) and Cx. quinquefasciatus (55.36-83.64%). Knockdown responses to the binary mixture of BCO + VO were observed for Ae. albopictus, An. minimus, and Cx. quinquefasciatus, in the range of 18.18-33.33%. The synergistic repellent activity of BCO and VO used in this study may support increased opportunities to develop safer alternatives to synthetic repellents for personal protection against mosquitoes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) causes an acquired immunodeficiency-like syndrome in cats. FIV is latent. No effective treatment has been developed for treatment the infected cats. The first and second generations non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) for HIV treatment, nevirapine (NVP) and efavirenz (EFV), and rilpivirine (RPV), were used to investigate the potential of NNRTIs for treatment of FIV infection. OBJECTIVE This study aims to use experimental and in silico approaches to investigate the potential of NNRTIs, NVP, EFV, and RPV, for inhibition of FIV reverse transcriptase (FIV-RT). METHODS The FIV-RT and human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase (HIV-RT) were expressed and purified using chromatography approaches. The purified proteins were used to determine the IC50 values with NVP, EFV, and RPV. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis was used to calculate the binding affinities of NNRTIs to HIV-RT and FIV-RT. The molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulations were used to demonstrate the mechanism of FIV-RT and HIV-RT with first and second generation NNRTI complexes. RESULTS The IC50 values of NNRTIs NVP, EFV, and RPV against FIV-RT were in comparable ranges to HIV-RT. The SPR analysis showed that NVP, EFV, and RPV could bind to both enzymes. Computational calculation also supports that these NNRTIs can bind with both FIV-RT and HIV-RT. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest the first and second generation NNRTIs (NVP, EFV, and RPV) could inhibit both FIV-RT and HIV-RT.

Abstract
Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is a serious bacterial disease affecting shrimp aquaculture worldwide. In this study, natural microbes were used in disease prevention and control. Probiotics derived from Bacillus spp. were isolated from the stomachs of AHPND-surviving Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (22 isolates) and mangrove forest soil near the shrimp farms (10 isolates). Bacillus spp. were genetically identified and characterized based on the availability of antimicrobial peptide (AMP)-related genes. The phenotypic characterization of all Bacillus spp. was determined based on their capability to inhibit AHPND-causing strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VPAHPND). The results showed that Bacillus spp. without AMP-related genes were incapable of inhibiting VPAHPND in vitro, while other Bacillus spp. harboring at least two AMP-related genes exhibited diverse inhibition activities. Interestingly, K3 [B. subtilis (srfAA+ and bacA+)], isolated from shrimp, exerted remarkable inhibition against VPAHPND (80% survival) in Pacific white shrimp and maintained a reduction in shrimp mortality within different ranges of salinity (75-95% survival). Moreover, with different strains of VPAHPND, B. subtilis (K3) showed outstanding protection, and the survival rate of shrimp remained stable among the tested groups (80-95% survival). Thus, B. subtilis (K3) was further used to determine its efficiency in shrimp farms in different locations of Vietnam. Lower disease occurrences (2 ponds out of 30 ponds) and greater production efficiency were noticeable in the B. subtilis (K3)-treated farms. Taking the results of this study together, the heat-shock isolation and genotypic-phenotypic characterization of Bacillus spp. enable the selection of probiotics that control AHPND in Pacific white shrimp. Consequently, greater disease prevention and growth performance were affirmed to be beneficial in the use of these probiotics in shrimp cultivation, which will sustain shrimp aquaculture and be environmentally friendly.

Abstract
Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus (SLCMV), the primary pathogen responsible for cassava mosaic disease in cassava plantations, is transmitted via infected cutting stems and the whitefly vector, Bemisia tabaci. To obtain better insights into the defense mechanism of cassava against SLCMV, whiteflies were used to induce SLCMV infection for activating the salicylic acid (SA) signaling pathway, which triggers the innate immune system. The study aimed to investigate the specific interactions between viruliferous whiteflies and SA accumulation in resistant (C33), tolerant (Kasetsart 50; KU50), and susceptible (Rayong 11) cassava cultivars by infecting with SLCMV. Leaf samples were collected at various time points, from 1 to 7 days after inoculation (dai). The SA levels were quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and validated by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The SA levels increased in KU50 and C33 plants at 2 and 3 dai, respectively, but remained undetected in Rayong11 plants. The expression of PR-9e, PR-7f5, SPS1, SYP121, Hsf8, and HSP90 increased in infected C33 plants at 4 dai, whereas that of KU50 plants decreased immediately at 2 dai, and that of Rayong11 plants increased at 1 dai but gradually decreased thereafter. These findings strongly indicate that SA plays a crucial role in regulating antiviral defense mechanisms, especially in SLCMV-resistant plants. Altogether, the findings provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the activation of SA-mediated anti-SLCMV defense pathways, and the resistance, tolerance, and susceptibility of cassava, which can aid future breeding programs aimed at enhancing SLCMV resistance.

Abstract
Inhibitors of the tyrosine kinase (TK) activity of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are routinely used in cancer therapy. However, there is a need to discover a new TK inhibitor. This study evaluated extracts from Brucea javanica and its components for their potential as novel EGFR-TK inhibitors. The cytotoxic effect of a g aqueous extract and its fractions was assessed by MTT assays with A549 lung cancer cells. The two fractions with the highest cytotoxicity were analyzed by LC/MS and 1H NMR. Brusatol was identified as the main constituent of these fractions, and its cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic activities were confirmed in A549 cells. To elucidate the inhibitory activity of brusatol against EGFR-TK, a specific ADP-GloTM kinase assay was used. In this assay, the IC50 value for EGFR-TK inhibition was 333.1 nM. Molecular dynamic simulations and docking experiments were performed to identify the binding pocket of brusatol to be located in the intracellular TK-domain of EGFR. This study demonstrates that brusatol inhibits EGFR-TK and therefore harbors a potential as a new therapeutic drug for the therapy of EGFR-depending cancers.

Abstract
Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) was employed to convert cannabis waste into valuable solid fuel (hydrochar) under different operating conditions, including reaction temperature (170-230 °C), biomass-water ratio (1:10-1:20), and residence time of 60 min. The produced hydrochar was examined for their fuel properties including calorific value (HHV), proximate and ultimate analysis, thermal stability and combustion behavior, etc. The results revealed higher HTC temperature led to a higher degree of carbonization, which is beneficial for increasing carbon content and HHV of the hydrochar. The HHV of the hydrochar improved significantly up to 24.65 MJ/kg after the HTC compared to 17.50 MJ/kg for cannabis waste. The energy yield of hydrochar from the HTC process was in a range of 70.41-82.23%. The optimal HTC condition was observed at 230 °C and a biomass-water ratio of 1:10, producing high-quality hydrochar with 24.24 MJ/kg HHV and 72.28% energy yield. The hydrochar had similar fuel characteristics to lignite coal with significantly lower ash content. Additionally, recirculation of liquid effluent showed a positive influence on the HHV of hydrochar besides minimizing the release of wastewater from the HTC process. The study revealed that HTC is a promising technique for valorization of cannabis waste into high-value solid fuel, which can be potentially an alternative to coal.

Abstract
For many decades, feline infectious disease has been among the most common health problems and a leading cause of death in cats. These diseases include toxoplasmosis, feline leukemia virus (FeLV), and particularly feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) disease. Early diagnosis is essential to increase the chance of successful treatment. Generally, measurement of the IgG level is considered to be indicative of an individual's immune status for a particular pathogen. The antibodies specific to feline IgG are crucial components for the development of a detection kit. In this study, feline IgG-bound scFv was selected using phage display technology. Three rounds of biopanning were conducted against purified feline IgG. Through an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), two scFv clones demonstrating the best binding ability to feline IgG were chosen for biochemical characterization. In addition, the selected scFv (N14) was expressed and purified in a bacterial system. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that the size of the purified N14 was 29 kDa. A sandwich ELISA was used to evaluate the binding capacity of the purified scFv to feline IgG. As expected, the purified N14 had the capacity to bind feline IgG. Furthermore, N14 was modified to create a scFv-alkaline phosphatase (scFv-AP) fusion platform. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) results revealed that N14-AP bound to feline IgG with an affinity binding value of 0.3 ± 0.496 μM. Additionally, the direct ELISA demonstrated the binding capacity of N14-AP to feline IgG in both cell lysate and purified protein. Moreover, N14-AP could be applied to detect feline IgG based on electrosensing with a detection limit of 10.42 nM. Overall, this study successfully selected a feline IgG-bound scFv and developed a scFv-AP platform that could be further engineered and applied in a feline infectious disease detection kit.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Natural products have proven to be a valuable source for the discovery of new candidate drugs for cancer treatment. This study aims to investigate the potential therapeutic effects of "Kerra™", a natural extract derived from a mixture of nine medicinal plants mentioned in the ancient Thai scripture named the Takxila Scripture, on HCT116 cells. Materials and Methods: In this study, the effect of the Kerra™ extract on cancer cells was assessed through cell viability assays. Apoptotic activity was evaluated by examining the apoptosis characteristic features. A proteomics analysis was conducted to identify proteins and pathways associated with the extract's mechanism of action. The expression levels of apoptotic protein markers were measured to validate the extract's efficacy. Results: The Kerra™ extract demonstrated a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the cells, with higher concentrations leading to decreased cell viability. Treatment with the extract for 72 h induced characteristic features of early and late apoptosis, as well as cell death. An LC-MS/MS analysis identified a total of 3406 proteins. The pathway analysis revealed that the Kerra™ extract stimulated apoptosis and cell death in colorectal cancer cell lines and suppressed cell proliferation in adenocarcinoma cell lines through the EIF2 signaling pathway. Upstream regulatory proteins, including cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (CDKN1A) and MYC proto-oncogene, bHLH transcription factor (MYC), were identified. The expressions of caspase-8 and caspase-9 were significantly elevated by the Kerra™ extract compared to the chemotherapy drug Doxorubicin (Dox). Conclusions: These findings provide strong evidence for the ability of the Kerra™ extract to induce apoptosis in HCT116 colon cancer cells. The extract's efficacy was demonstrated by its dose-dependent inhibitory effect, induction of apoptotic activity, and modulation of key proteins involved in cell death and proliferation pathways. This study highlights the potential of Kerra™ as a promising therapeutic agent in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Obesity among young adults, especially those living in developing countries is increasing. A high body mass index (BMI) is one of the major causes of several diseases worldwide, constituting an important risk factor for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Investigations describing the relationship between BMI, clinical and gut microbiota characteristics and lifestyle factors of overweight young adults, especially from Southeast Asian countries are limited. Metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers, fecal microbiota profiles and lifestyle factors were compared between overweight Thai young adults (n = 30, mean age 33 ± 9.48) and those with normal weight (n = 30, mean age 27 ±7.50). This study was registered with the Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR20220204007). Health status including body composition, fasting glucose and insulin, lipid profiles, liver and kidney function, inflammatory biomarkers, blood pressure and fecal microbiota using 16S rRNA gene sequencing data was determined. Dietary intake was assessed using a 3-day dietary record and a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), with physical activity levels compared using the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ). The overweight group had significantly higher BMI, waist-hip ratio, body fat mass, % body fat, skeletal mass, triglyceride level, C-reactive protein, insulin and blood pressure, with lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and blood urea nitrogen compared to the normal weight group. Significant differences in fecal microbiota composition at the family and genus levels were observed between the two groups. In our clinical setting, we also observed that unhealthy diets with high consumption of food rich in fat and sugar, processed meat and alcohol, and physical inactivity were associated with an increased prevalence of overweight in Thai young adults. Results provided the big picture of health and lifestyle characteristics of overweight young Thai people. Young adults should be encouraged to engage in health-promoting activities that maintain healthy bodyweight.

Abstract
Understanding the genetic diversity of domestic chicken breeds under the impact of socio-cultural and ecological dynamics is vital for the conservation of natural resources. Mae Hong Son chicken is a local breed of North Thai domestic chicken widely distributed in Mae Hong Son Province, Thailand; however, its genetic characterization, origin, and diversity remain poorly understood. Here, we studied the socio-cultural, environmental, and genetic aspects of the Mae Hong Son chicken breed and investigated its diversity and allelic gene pool. We genotyped 28 microsatellite markers and analyzed mitochondrial D-loop sequencing data to evaluate genetic diversity and assessed spatial habitat suitability using maximum entropy modeling. Sequence diversity analysis revealed a total of 188 genotyped alleles, with overall nucleotide diversity of 0.014 ± 0.007, indicating that the Mae Hong Son chicken population is genetically highly diverse, with 35 (M1-M35) haplotypes clustered into haplogroups A, B, E, and F, mostly in the North ecotype. Allelic gene pool patterns showed a unique DNA fingerprint of the Mae Hong Son chicken, as compared to other breeds and red junglefowl. A genetic introgression of some parts of the gene pool of red junglefowl and other indigenous breeds was identified in the Mae Hong Son chicken, supporting the hypothesis of the origin of the Mae Hong Son chicken. During domestication in the past 200-300 years after the crossing of indigenous chickens and red junglefowl, the Mae Hong Son chicken has adapted to the highland environment and played a significant socio-cultural role in the Northern Thai community. The unique genetic fingerprint of the Mae Hong Son chicken, retaining a high level of genetic variability that includes a dynamic demographic and domestication history, as well as a range of ecological factors, might reshape the adaptation of this breed under selective pressure.

Abstract
Sugarcane bagasse fly ash is industrial waste produced by incinerating biomass to generate power and steam. The fly ash contains SiO2 and Al2O3, which can be used to prepare aluminosilicate. This latter material exhibits high potential as an adsorbent in various applications, including the livestock industry where issues related to contamination of aflatoxins in animal feeds need to be addressed; addition of adsorbents can help decrease the concentration of aflatoxins during feed digestion. In this study, the effect of the structure of silica prepared from sugarcane bagasse fly ash on physicochemical properties and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) adsorption capability compared with that of bentonite was investigated. BPS-5, Xerogel-5, MCM-41, and SBA-15 mesoporous silica supports were synthesized using sodium silicate hydrate (Na2SiO3) from sugarcane bagasse fly ash as a silica source. BPS-5, Xerogel-5, MCM-41, and SBA-15 exhibited amorphous structures, while sodium silicate possessed a crystalline structure. BPS-5 possessed larger pore size, pore volume, and pore size distribution with a bimodal mesoporous structure, while Xerogel-5 exhibited lower pore size and pore size distribution with a unimodal mesoporous structure. BPS-5 with a negatively charged surface exhibited the highest AFB1 adsorption capability compared with other porous silica. However, the AFB1 adsorption capability of bentonite was superior to those of all porous silica. Sufficient pore diameter with high total pore volume as well as high intensity of acid sites and negative charge on the surface of the adsorbent is required to increase AFB1 adsorption in the in vitro gastrointestinal tract of animals.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been considered a potential target for lung cancer therapy due to its essential role in regulating the survival and proliferation of cancer cells. Although erlotinib, a potent EGFR tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) inhibitor, has been used as the first-line drug for lung cancer treatment, acquired drug resistance caused by the T790M secondary mutation of EGFR-TK inevitably develops after a median response duration of 9-13 months. Thus, the search for promising compounds to effectively target EGFR-TK has become an imperative necessity. In this study, the kinase inhibitory activities of a series of sulfonylated indeno[1,2-c]quinolines (SIQs) against EGFR-TK were experimentally and theoretically investigated. Among the 23 SIQ derivatives studied, eight compounds showed enhanced EGFR-TK inhibitory activity (IC50 values of ca. 0.6-10.2 nM) compared to the known drug erlotinib (IC50 of ∼20 nM). In a cell-based assay in human cancer cell lines with EGFR overexpression (A549 and A431 cells), the eight selected SIQs all showed more significant cytotoxicity against A431 than A549 cells, consistent with the higher EGFR expression in A431 cells. Molecular docking and FMO-RIMP2/PCM calculations revealed that SIQ17 occupies the ATP-binding site of EGFR-TK, where its sulfonyl group is mainly stabilized by C797, L718, and E762 residues. Triplicate 500 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations also confirmed the binding strength of SIQ17 in complex with EGFR. Overall, the potent SIQ compounds obtained in this work could be further optimized for developing novel anticancer drug candidates targeting EGFR-TK.

Abstract
Tilapia lake virus disease (TiLVD) is an emerging disease in tilapia that is associated with mass mortality affecting global tilapia aquaculture. In this study, red hybrid tilapias (Oreochromis spp.) were experimentally infected by intracoelomic injection with Tilapia lake virus (TiLV) to gain a better understanding of the clinicopathological changes during infection. Pale bodies and gill were observed in infected fish after 7 days of post-challenge (dpc) associated with severe anaemia. Further haematological analysis in TiLV-infected fish revealed decreased levels of haemoglobin and haematocrit at 3 dpc. Common pathological findings included pale and friable liver, pale intestine with catarrhal content, and dark and shrunken spleen in TiLV-infected fish at 7 dpc and 14 dpc. Histologically, reduced numbers of red blood cells and accumulation of melano-macrophage centre in the spleen were found in infected fish at 3 dpc, and severe lesions were more commonly observed at 7 and 14 dpc. Lymphocyte infiltration, syncytial cell formation and multifocal necrotic hepatitis were the prominent pathological findings in the liver of infected fish. The severity of pathological changes was associated with TiLV-infection with higher viral loads and with the expression pattern of pro-inflammatory cytokines and antiviral genes, including interferon regulatory factor 1 (irf1), interleukin (il-8), radical s-adenosyl methionine domain containing 2 (rsad2) and mx. Our study provides a comprehensive analysis of the haematological profile and pathological changes in tilapia during TiLV infection. Overall, lesions present in various organs, together with alteration of host immune response in TiLV-infected fish, indicate the systemic infection of this virus. The knowledge gained from this study improves our understanding of how TiLV causes pathological and haematological changes in tilapia.

Abstract
The giant snakehead, Channa micropeltes, is an increasingly important economic freshwater fish in Thailand and other regions of Asia. Presently, giant snakehead are cultured under intensive aquaculture conditions, leading to high stress and conditions favouring disease. In this study, we reported a disease outbreak in farmed giant snakehead with a cumulative mortality of 52.5%, continuing for 2 months. The affected fish exhibited signs of lethargy, anorexia and haemorrhage of the skin and eyes. Further bacterial isolations revealed two different types of colonies on tryptic soy agar: small white, punctate colonies of gram-positive cocci and cream-coloured, round and convex colonies of rod-shaped gram-negative bacteria. Additional biochemical and species-specific PCR analysis based on 16S rRNA confirmed the isolates as Streptococcus iniae and Aeromonas veronii. Multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) placed the S. iniae isolate into a large clade of strains from clinically infected fish worldwide. Gross necropsy findings showed liver congestion, pericarditis and white nodules in the kidney and liver. Histologically, the affected fish showed focal to multifocal granulomas with inflammatory cell infiltration in kidney and liver, enlarged blood vessels with mild congestion within the meninges of the brain and severe necrotizing and suppurative pericarditis with myocardial infarction. Antibiotic susceptibility tests revealed that S. iniae was sensitive to amoxicillin, erythromycin, enrofloxacin, oxytetracycline, doxycycline and resistant to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, while the A. veronii was susceptible to erythromycin, enrofloxacin, oxytetracycline, doxycycline, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and resistant to amoxicillin. Conclusively, our findings highlighted the natural concurrent bacterial infections in cultured giant snakehead, which support the implementation of appropriate treatment and control strategies.

Abstract
Carbon materials synthesized via a solution plasma process (SPP) have recently shown great potential for various applications. However, they mainly possess a meso-macroporous structure with a lack of micropores, which limits their applications for supercapacitors. Herein, carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) were synthesized from benzene via SPP and then subjected to thermal treatment at different temperatures (400, 600, 800, and 1000 °C) in an argon environment. The CNPs exhibited an amorphous phase and were more graphitized at high treatment temperatures. A small content of tungsten carbide particles was also observed, which were encapsulated in CNPs. An increase in treatment temperature led to an increase in the specific surface area of CNPs from 184 to 260 m2 g-1 through the development of micropores, while their meso-macropore structure remained unchanged. The oxygen content of CNPs decreased from 14.72 to 1.20 atom% as the treatment temperature increased due to the degradation of oxygen functionality. The charge storage properties of CNPs were evaluated for supercapacitor applications by electrochemical measurements using a three-electrode system in 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte. The CNPs treated at low temperatures exhibited an electric double layer and pseudocapacitive behavior due to the presence of quinone groups on the carbon surface. With increasing treatment temperature, the electric double layer behavior became more dominant, while pseudocapacitive behavior was suppressed due to the quinone degradation. Regarding cycling stability, the CNPs treated at high temperatures (with a lack of oxygen functionality) were more stable than those treated at low temperatures. This work highlights a way of introducing micropores into CNPs derived from SPP via thermal treatment, which could be helpful for controlling and adjusting their pore structure for supercapacitor applications.

Abstract
The synthesis of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) and conversion to the corresponding HMF-monoesters upon certain treatment are presented with their properties that are validated in a diesel engine. With a collection of fatty acids (C8-C18) using cyanuric acid as a catalyst under mild reaction conditions, the subsequent reduction of the HMF-monoesters with NaBH4 produced the corresponding alcohols. After purification, both HMF-monoesters and their alcohol derivatives were determined for their solubility, cetane index, heat of combustion, viscosity, and specific gravity. HMF-Capric (1-C10), HMF-Oleic (1-C18:1), HMF-Caprylic-OH (2-C8), and HMF-Oleic-OH (2-C18:1) were soluble in a neat diesel fuel. The observed highest cetane index and heat of combustion of 1-C10 and 1-C18:1 were evaluated for combustion characteristics in a single-cylinder compression ignition engine. The diesel fuel containing 3% 1-C10 displayed comparable properties during burning in terms of thermal efficiency, cylinder pressure, and heat release rate with respect to the neat diesel fuel (D100) for all usage engine speeds. In general, all tested fuels initiated their burning onset with a similar ignition delay period. The 3% 1-C10-blended diesel fuel emitted slightly higher smoke opacity but an equivalent nitric oxide level compared to those of D100. The HMF-Capric (1-C10) synthesized in this study represents a promising additive for diesel fuel. Blended fuel lubricity and other unregulated emissions upon broader engine test cycles are suggested to be accomplished in future work.

Abstract
Regenerated cellulose (RC) produced from waste pineapple leaves was used to develop a colorimetric sensor as a Cu-PAN sheet (RCS). Microcrystalline cellulose derived from dried pineapple leaves was combined with Cu-PAN, dissolved in NaOH and urea, and made into an RC sheet using Na2SO4 as a coagulant. The RCS was used as an H2S indicator at various H2S concentrations (0-50 ppm) and temperatures (5-25 °C). The RCS color changed from purple to New York pink when exposed to H2S. A colorimeter method was used to develop prediction curves with values of R2 > 0.95 for H2S concentrations at 5-25 °C. The physicochemical properties of fresh and spent RCS were characterized using various techniques (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis). In addition, when stored at 5 and 25 °C for 90 days, the RCS had outstanding stability. The developed RCS could be applied to food packaging as an intelligent indicator of meat spoilage.

Abstract
The cinnamate functionalization of cellulose nanocrystals (Cin-CNCs) was investigated as a potential organic reinforcing and UV-shielding agent in polylactic acid (PLA) films. Acid hydrolysis was used to extract cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from pineapple leaves. Through esterification with cinnamoyl chloride, the cinnamate group was grafted onto the CNC surface and the resulting Cin-CNCs were incorporated in PLA films as reinforcing and UV-shielding agents. The PLA nanocomposite films were prepared using a solution-casting method and were tested for mechanical/thermal properties, gas permeability, and UV absorption. Importantly, the functionalization of cinnamate on CNCs substantially improved the dispersion of fillers on the PLA matrix. The PLA films containing 3 wt% Cin-CNCs exhibited high transparency and UV absorption in the visible region. On the other hand, PLA films filled with pristine CNCs did not exhibit any UV-shielding properties. The mechanical properties revealed that adding 3 wt% Cin-CNCs to PLA increased its tensile strength and Young's modulus by 70% and 37%, respectively, compared to neat PLA. In addition, the incorporation of Cin-CNCs substantially improved water vapor and oxygen permeability. At 3 wt% Cin-CNC addition, the water vapor and oxygen permeability of PLA films were reduced by 54% and 55%, respectively. This study demonstrated the great potential in utilizing Cin-CNCs as effective gas barriers, dispersible nanoparticles, and UV-absorbing, nano-reinforcing agents in PLA films.

Abstract
We evaluated the behavioral responses of Aedes albopictus and Anopheles minimus to 3 isovaleric acid and lactic acid-based chemical lure blends and 2 individual alcohols, using Spatial Repellency Assay in a high-throughput screening system (HITSS). Five doses of 0.0002, 0.001, 0.0025, 0.005, and 0.01 g were tested per lure. A BG-lure was used as a reference standard. After 10-min exposure, the number of mosquitoes moving toward or away from the treated chamber was calculated. The results showed that all lures were repellent against Ae. albopictus except for Lure-4 (4% w/v isovaleric acid + 2% w/v lactic acid + 0.0025% w/v myristic acid + 2.5% w/v ammonium hydroxide) which showed a nonsignificant attractancy at the lowest dose. Significantly high spatial repellency was observed at the highest dose of all the tested lures including BG-lure. Lure-2 (isoamyl alcohol) was significantly repellent at all the tested doses. Against An. minimus, Lure-5 (0.02% w/v isovaleric acid + 2% w/v lactic acid) showed significant spatial repellency while Lure-4 was significantly attractant, at all the tested doses. All lures, except Lure-4, showed strong spatial repellency at high doses and attractancy or weak spatial repellency at the lowest dose of 0.0002 g. In summary, our study demonstrated that spatial repellency and attractancy of the tested lures were influenced by both the dose tested and the mosquito species. Lure-2 and Lure-4 are potential spatial repellents and attractants, respectively, for malaria and dengue vectors. However, further studies are necessary to confirm these results at a semifield and open field level.

Abstract
Textile waste usually ends up in landfills and causes environmental pollution. In this study, pretreatment methods for textile recycling, including autoclaving, freezing alkali/urea soaking, and alkaline pretreatment, were applied to textile waste with various cotton/polyester blending ratios. The best condition for enzymatic hydrolysis was a 60/40 textile waste blend of cotton/polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with a reusable chemical pretreatment (15% NaOH) at 121 °C for 15 min. The hydrolysis of pretreated textile waste by cellulase was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD). The optimized conditions were 30 FPU/g of enzyme loading and 7% of substrate loading, which resulted in a maximum observed value of hydrolysis yield at 89.7%, corresponding to the predicted value of 87.8% after 96 h of incubation. The findings of this study suggest an optimistic solution for textile waste recycling.

Abstract
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) worldwide, especially in domestic pigs, with an enormous economic impact, estimated at $664 million in losses every year to the pig industry. Current vaccines confer limited protection, and no direct-acting anti-PRRS treatment is available. Non-structural protein (NSP) 1β, a cysteine-like protease (CLPro) of PRRSV plays an essential role in viral polyprotein processing, subgenomic RNA synthesis, and evasion of host innate immunity. Therefore, agents that interfere with the bioactivity of NSP1β would be expected to inhibit virus replication. In this study, a porcine single-chain antibody (scFv)-phage display library was constructed and used as a tool for production of NSP1β-specific porcine scFvs (pscFvs). The pscFvs to NSP1β were linked to a cell-penetrating peptide to form cell-penetrating pscFvs (transbodies), which could be internalized and inhibit PRRSV replication in infected cells. A computer simulation indicated that the effective pscFvs used several residues in multiple complementarity determining regions (CDRs) to interact with multiple residues in the CLPro and C-terminal motifs, which might explain the mechanism of pscFv-mediated inhibition of virus replication. Although experiments are needed to determine the antiviral mechanism of the transbodies, the current data indicate that transbodies can potentially be applied for treatment and prevention of PRRSV infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus (SLCMV) is a plant virus causing significant economic losses throughout Southeast Asia. While proteomics has the potential to identify molecular markers that could assist the breeding of virus resistant cultivars, the effects of SLCMV infection in cassava have not been previously explored in detail. RESULTS Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS-MS) was used to identify differentially expressed proteins in SLCMV infected leaves, and qPCR was used to confirm changes at mRNA levels. LC/MS-MS identified 1,813 proteins, including 479 and 408 proteins that were upregulated in SLCMV-infected and healthy cassava plants respectively, while 109 proteins were detected in both samples. Most of the identified proteins were involved in biosynthetic processes (29.8%), cellular processes (20.9%), and metabolism (18.4%). Transport proteins, stress response molecules, and proteins involved in signal transduction, plant defense responses, photosynthesis, and cellular respiration, although present, only represented a relatively small subset of the detected differences. RT-qPCR confirmed the upregulation of WRKY 77 (A0A140H8T1), WRKY 83 (A0A140H8T7), NAC 6 (A0A0M4G3M4), NAC 35 (A0A0M5JAB4), NAC 22 (A0A0M5J8Q6), NAC 54 (A0A0M4FSG8), NAC 70 (A0A0M4FEU9), MYB (A0A2C9VER9 and A0A2C9VME6), bHLH (A0A2C9UNL9 and A0A2C9WBZ1) transcription factors. Additional upregulated transcripts included receptors, such as receptor-like serine/threonine-protein kinase (RSTK) (A0A2C9UPE4), Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) (A0A2C9V5Q3), leucine rich repeat N-terminal domain (LRRNT_2) (A0A2C9VHG8), and cupin (A0A199UBY6). These molecules participate in innate immunity, plant defense mechanisms, and responses to biotic stress and to phytohormones. CONCLUSIONS We detected 1,813 differentially expressed proteins infected cassava plants, of which 479 were selectively upregulated. These could be classified into three main biological functional groups, with roles in gene regulation, plant defense mechanisms, and stress responses. These results will help identify key proteins affected by SLCMV infection in cassava plants.

Abstract
Agroindustrial wastes are renewable sources and the most promising sustainable alternative to lignocellulosic biomass for cellulose production. This study assessed the electrothermal pretreatment of rambutan peel (RP) for producing cellulose fibers. The pretreatment was carried out by Ohmic heating at a solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:10 (w/v) in a water/ethanol (1:1, v/v) mixture as the electrical transmission medium at 60 ± 1 °C for different holding times (15, 30, and 60 min). Ohmic heating did not significantly influence the total fiber yield for the various holding times. However, the compositions of the samples in terms of extractives, lignin, hemicellulose, and α-cellulose content were significantly influenced. In addition, the electrothermal pretreatment method reduced the bleaching time of RP by 25%. The pretreated fibers were thermally stable up to 240 °C. Ohmic heating pretreatment times of 15 and 30 min were found most promising, reducing the required bleaching chemicals and increasing the α-cellulose yield. The pretreated bleached cellulose fibers had similar properties to nontreated bleached fibers and could be efficiently processed into stable gels of strong shear-thinning behavior with potential application as rheology modifiers in food products. Our results demonstrate that rambutan peel could serve as a promising sustainable alternative to woody biomass for cellulose production. Ohmic heating meets the requirements for industrial applications as it is eco-friendly, improves the efficiency and energy consumption in fiber processing, and could as well be included in the processing of similar food wastes.

Abstract
This study extracted ellagitannins from rambutan peel using the Soxhlet technique. The extract was further partitioned and fractionated to get extract rich in ellagitannin and geraniin, respectively. The partitioning of the extract significantly increased total phenolic content (TPC) by 36.3% and its biological properties. Mineral elements such as Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, and Zn were identified in both peel and extract. Ellagitannins such as geraniin and corilagin with metabolites (gallic acid and ellagic acid) were identified as the major compounds. Analysis of antioxidant activities shows that the ellagitannin rich extract is as powerful as vitamin C. Geraniin was the main contributor to the free radical scavenging activity. The study also revealed that extract with a fraction rich in geraniin has antioxidant activity equivalent to commercial geraniin (1.56 ± 0.11 Trolox equivalent g/g). It also showed low cytotoxicity on fibroblast L929 cells, moderate tyrosinase activity, and good efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Cutibacterium acnes strains. Successive fractionation of the extract is a promising technique to produce geraniin rich fractions with enhanced antioxidant property. Rambutan peel, as a natural product, is a good source of mineral elements and biologically active compounds for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic formulations.

Abstract
Janus kinases (JAKs) are involved in a wide variety of cell signaling associated with T-cell and B-cell mediated diseases. The pathogenesis of common lymphoid-derived diseases and leukemia cancer has been implicated in JAK2 and JAK3. Therefore, to decrease the risk of these diseases, targeting this pathway using JAK2/3 inhibitors could serve as a valuable research tool. Herein, we used a combination of the computational and biological approaches to identify the quinoxalinone-based dual inhibitors of JAK2/3. First, an in-house library of 49 quinoxalinones was screened by molecular docking. Then, the inhibitory activities of 17 screened compounds against both JAKs as well as against two human erythroleukemia cell lines, TF1 and HEL were examined. The obtained results revealed that several quinoxalinones could potentially inhibit JAK2/3, and among them, ST4j showed strong inhibition against JAKs with the IC50 values of 13.00 ± 1.31 nM for JAK2 and 14.86 ± 1.29 nM for JAK3, which are better than ruxolitinib and tofacitinib. In addition, ST4j potentially inhibited TF1 cells (IC50 of 15.53 ± 0.82 μM) and HEL cells (IC50 of 17.90 ± 1.36 μM), similar to both tofacitinib ruxolitinib. Mechanistically, ST4j inhibited JAK2 autophosphorylation and induced cell apoptosis in dose- and time-dependent manners. From molecular dynamics simulations, ST4j was mainly stabilized by van der Waals interactions, and its hydroxyl group could form hydrogen bonds in the hinge region at residues S936 and R938 of JAK2. This research highlights the potential of ST4j to be a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of lymphoid-derived diseases and leukemia cancer.

Abstract
Xanthoxyline (1), a small natural methyl ketone, was previously reported as a plant growth inhibitor. In this research, related methyl ketones bearing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups, together with heteroaromatics, were investigated against seed germination and seedling growth of Chinese amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor L.) and barnyard grass [Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv]. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) of methyl ketone herbicides were clarified, and which types and positions of substituents were crucially important for activity were also clarified. Indole derivatives, namely, 3-acetylindole (43) and 3-acetyl-7-azaindole (44) were found to be the most active methyl ketones that highly suppressed plant growth at low concentrations. The molecular docking on the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) enzyme indicated that carbonyl, aromatic, and azaindole were key interactions of HPPD inhibitors. This finding would be useful for the development of small ketone herbicides.
