Hypothyroidism, characterized by insufficient thyroid hormone production, affects approximately 5% of the population, especially women, thus increasing pregnancy-related risks. Conventional screening mainly measures thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4). Detecting the presence of anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies indi-cates autoimmune thyroid disease. This study developed an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit for detecting circulating TPO using polyclonal antibodies generated in rabbits. TPO was isolated from positive sera of pa-tients with hypothyroidism, purified by electroelution, and confirmed as a 52-kDa protein by Western blot. Rabbits immunized with this protein produced polyclonal antibodies with the highest titer (OD = 0.334) at …

Temporal Variation In Picophytoplankton Pigment Phenotypes Of Two Urban Rivers, Kylee M. Lamberson, Camille E. Wendlandt, Kristin E. Forgrave, Anne W. Thompson
International Journal of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities
Picophytoplankton are a group of photosynthetic, unicellular organisms, making them key primary producers in aquatic ecosystems. These cells numerically dominate in oceans and lakes where picophytoplankton communities contain phenotypic subpopulations that correspond to biogeographic patterns. In rivers, however, such community dynamics are less studied. We examined the phenotypic subpopulations of picophytoplankton in two converging urban river environments of Portland, Oregon (USA): the Columbia and the Willamette Rivers. From September 2022 through July 2023, we took roughly bi-weekly surface water samples and used multi-laser flow cytometry to distinguish between photosynthetic cells based on their size and pigment fluorescence.

Phosphoric Acid-Mediated Regeneration Of Sugarcane Bagasse Cellulose-Rich Fraction For Enzymatic Production Of Water-Soluble Cellulosic Oligomers, Chiou-Yeong Saw, David Agus Setiawan Wibisono, Tsung-Yen Wu, Yung Chang, Chi-Fai Chau
Journal of Food and Drug Analysis
An integrated strategy was developed to promote conversion of a sugarcane bagasse cellulose-rich fraction into water-soluble cellulosic oligomers (WCOs) through phosphoric acid-mediated regeneration and enzymatic hydrolysis. Alkaline pretreatment on sugarcane bagasse powder increased glucan content from 57.6 to 93.4 g/100 g sample and lowered Klason lignin to 6.1 g/100 g sample. Phosphoric acid-mediated regeneration was subsequently capable of reorganizing the structure of cellulose from sugarcane bagasse, resulting in a decrease of crystallinity from 72.9 to 64.0% and introducing cellulose II-like features. The hydration state of regenerated cellulose strongly influenced hydrolysis performance, as the hydrated form showed significantly higher solubilization (810.4 …
