Downregulation of DJ-1 Fails to Protect Mitochondrial Complex I Subunit NDUFS3 in the Testes and Contributes to the Asthenozoospermia by Yupeng Wang, Yi Sun, Xin Zhao, Renpei Yuan, Hui Jiang, Xiaoping Pu

“…Moreover, we showed that the interaction between DJ-1 and NDUFS3 in rat testes was weakened by ORN treatment. These results suggest that the impaired mitochondrial activity could be due to the broken interaction between DJ-1 and NDUFS3 and that downregulation of DJ-1 in sperm and testes contributes to AS pathogenesis.…”

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing for Colistin: Extended Application of Novel Quantitative and Morphologic Assay Using Scanning Electron Microscopy by Omar Zmerli, Sara Bellali, Gabriel Haddad, Rim Iwaza, Akiko Hisada, Erino Matsumoto, Yusuke Ominami, Didier Raoult, Jacques Bou Khalil

“…We identified a significant drop in the percentage of viable organisms starting 30 minutes after exposure in susceptible strains, as compared to nonsignificant changes in resistant strains across all tested organisms. The killing effect of Colistin was best observed after 120 minutes of incubation with the antibiotic, with significant changes in morphologic features, including bacterial inflation, fusion, and lysis, observed as early as 30 minutes. …”
