Strategic construction of fluorinated surroundings in NIR‐II‐emissive organic semiconducting agents for amplifying cancer phototheranostics

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
The development of conventional phototheranostic nanomedicines suffers from an intrinsic trade‐off between NIR‐II fluorescence emission and phototherapeutic effects, leading to poor overall efficacy. Herein, we propose an innovative fluorination strategy by constructing fluorinated surroundings in NIR‐II‐emissive organic semiconducting agents to ...

The research progress in polyethylene oxide polymer electrolytes

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
Polyethylene oxide (PEO) has become the mainstream matrix material for solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) due to its excellent lithium salt complexation ability and processability. However, its high crystallinity results in low ionic conductivity at room temperature and difficulty in suppressing lithium dendrite growth, which significantly hinders the ...

Longitudinal Swallowing and Salivary Changes With CLR 131 and Re‐Irradiation in Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with recurrent head and neck cancer (HNC) often present with severe, persistent dysphagia and xerostomia following prior chemoradiation. Although swallowing impairments and salivary dysfunction have been reported in this population, prior longitudinal studies have not examined changes in salivary composition or how these ...

Amino groups in Clostridium perfringens epsilon prototoxin and epsilon toxin

Microbial Pathogenesis, 1986
Modification with succinic anhydride (SA) of Clostridium perfringens epsilon prototoxin or toxin resulted in a loss of activation by trypsin or lethal activity, respectively. The prototoxin was more sensitive to succinylation than the toxin. On the other hand, the succinylated prototoxin was activated and cleaved by chymotrypsin, but not by trypsin ...

Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin: The third most potent bacterial toxin known

Anaerobe, 2014
Epsilon toxin (ETX) is produced by Clostridium perfringens type B and D strains and causes enterotoxemia, a highly lethal disease with major impacts on the farming of domestic ruminants, particularly sheep. ETX belongs to the aerolysin-like pore-forming toxin family.

Direct Visualization of the Dynamic Process of Epsilon Toxin on Hemolysis

Small Methods, 2023
AbstractHemolysis is the process of rupturing erythrocytes (red blood cells) by forming nanopores on their membranes using hemolysins, which then impede membrane permeability. However, the self‐assembly process before the state of transmembrane pores and underlying mechanisms of conformational change are not fully understood.

Detection of Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin by elisa

Research in Veterinary Science, 1987
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed as an alternative to neutralisation tests in mice to detect Clostridium perfringens type D epsilon toxin in the intestinal contents of animals which have died from suspected enterotoxaemia. The test was sensitive and quantitative and gave excellent agreement with the mouse protection test.

Carboxyl groups in Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin

Microbial Pathogenesis, 1987
The maximal number of norleucine methyl ester (NME) incorporated into carboxyl groups in epsilon toxin of Clostridium perfringens by the carbodiimide-nucleophile procedure was 7 and 17 in the absence and presence of 8 M urea, respectively. The introduction of 3-4 nucleophilic modifying agents such as NME, glycine methyl ester or taurine into carboxyl ...

Epsilon toxin: a fascinating pore‐forming toxin

The FEBS Journal, 2011
Epsilon toxin (ETX) is produced by strains of Clostridium perfringens classified as type B or type D. ETX belongs to the heptameric β‐pore‐forming toxins including aerolysin and Clostridium septicum alpha toxin, which are characterized by the formation of a pore through the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells consisting in a β‐barrel of 14 amphipatic β
