Antibiotics were the main fishery drugs for treating Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) infection, which would generate selective pressure and result in appearance of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The bacterial quorum sensing (QS) system provides a new alternative strategy against A. infection. QS inhibitors can reduce virulence behaviors by disrupting QS, has no effect on growth. Therefore,...

The Povarov reaction of p-anisidine, cinnamaldehyde and methacrolein dimethylhydrazone afforded a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline derivative bearing 2-styryl, 4-methyl 4-dimethylhydrazono substituents in fully diastereoselective fashion. This is the first example combination type I aza-vinylogous II vinylogous same process.

Catalytic activity of gold nanoparticle (NP)-loaded metal oxide semiconductors (Au/MOs) for H(2)O(2) decomposition and chemoselective oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol to cinnamaldehyde strongly depends on both the kind of the MO-supports and the Au particle size, and Au/SrTiO(3) exhibits an extraordinary high level of activity for the H(2)O(2) decomposition exceeding that of Pt/TiO(2).

Together with taste and smell, oral sensations of touch, temperature, chemical irritation and pain play an important role in determining food flavor. Trigeminal sensations are mediated by sensory fibers innervating the oral mucosa that project via the lingual nerve to reach the brainstem trigeminal complex, with extensive terminations in subnucleus caudalis (Vc) (Carstens et al., 1995). Neurons...
