Summary: The study examined the inactivation kinetics of different enterovirus variants by free chlorine and UV irradiation, revealing that the inactivation mechanisms of free chlorine are genotype- and genogroup-dependent, while UV inactivation mainly depends on genomic size and composition. The distribution of inactivation rate constants and the abundance of each genotype are crucial parameters in accurately predicting the overall inactivation of an enterovirus population by free chlorine.

Summary: This study investigated the inactivation kinetic and mechanism of fungal spores by combined UV and PAA (UV/PAA). The results showed that UV/PAA had a significant synergistic effect and could effectively inactivate fungi. The damage to cell structure caused by UV/PAA was more serious than that caused by UV or PAA alone.

Summary: A single bout of exercise can reduce pain sensitivity in healthy individuals, but exercise-induced hypoalgesia is often impaired in individuals with chronic pain. Existing literature suggests that training interventions may induce hypoalgesic adaptations, potentially driven by central nervous system and immune system factors, but further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms.

Summary: This review comprehensively analyzes the PAA-based disinfection processes in wastewater treatment, including its advantages, efficacy, disinfection mechanisms, and its interactions with conventional disinfection processes. The review also discusses the risk of pathogen regrowth and the impact of PAA on the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance gene transfer.

Summary: There is an association between diabetes mellitus and certain cancers, with an increased risk of cancer in diabetes mellitus. Conversely, some cancers and cancer therapies may lead to diabetes mellitus. Genetic factors, obesity, inflammation, and other factors play a role in the crosstalk between diabetes mellitus and cancers.

Summary: In this study, an electron beam excitation multi-wavelength ultraviolet (EBE-MW-UV) system was established and found to have significantly higher microbial inactivation effects compared to single-wavelength UV-LEDs in water. Mechanism analysis revealed that EBE-MW-UV damaged microbial DNA and proteins, and generated additional reactive oxygen species, leading to microbial inactivation.

Summary: This study revealed the potential mechanisms for the effective inactivation of A. spiroides and inhibition of the following formation of the DBPs. Transcriptomic analysis and EEM-PARAFAC analysis demonstrated the impact of reactive oxidative species on A. spiroides and AOM, which significantly inhibited the formation potentials of DBPs.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the main antifungal factors and mechanisms of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma against Penicillium expansum spores, and to explore its application in kiwi-fruit juice. The results showed that DBD plasma effectively inactivated P. expansum spores in kiwi-fruit juice by disrupting the cell membrane and causing DNA damage through the production of O•2 and 1O2. The findings of this research are significant for the development of food preservation technologies.

Summary: This study identified melatonin and its isoforms in mulberry plants, and demonstrated the selective expression of MaASMT4 and MaASMT20 in mulberry leaves. Unlike Arabidopsis and rice, the members of ASMT gene families in mulberry can catalyze the conversion of N-acetylserotonin to melatonin, providing new insights into the biosynthesis of melatonin and its isomers.

Summary: This review summarizes the research progress on fungal conidial UV resistance, focusing on the genetic basis of UV resistance in insect pathogen fungi, as well as the molecular mechanisms underlying photorepair and photoreactivation of UV-induced DNA lesions in conidia. The study suggests exploring a regulatory network of fungal photoprotection and improving the development and application strategies of UV-resistant fungal insecticides.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of gamma irradiation and riboflavin/ultraviolet light as pathogen inactivation methods for human platelet lysate (hPL) and found that 30 kGy gamma irradiation and RB/UV were effective in inactivating viral and bacterial models in contaminated hPL. However, a dose of 45 kGy gamma irradiation significantly decreased the growth factor level of hPL and had adverse effects on cell growth kinetics.
