... Lactoferrin (LF) is one of the major functional proteins in maintaining human health due to its antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory activities. Abnormal levels of LF in the human body are related to some serious diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, Alzheimer’s disease and dry eye disease. Recent studies indicate that LF can be used as a biomarker for diagnosis of ...
... Antibiotic growth promoters have been banned in animal husbandry and aquaculture in China, since 2020. Florfenicol (FLO) is the most used antibiotics in aquaculture for controlling various bacterial disease in fish, although its effect on health of farmed fish remains a concern. In the present study, European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) reared under flow-through aquaculture system (FAS) and rec ...
... To investigate the changes in the hypothalamic metabolites of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) febrile young rabbits after the treatment with pediatric tuina. A total of 30 young rabbits were randomly assigned into three groups: the normal group, the model group, and the tuina group. Both the model group and the tuina group were injected intravenously with LPS. “Six antipyretic manipulations” (pushing Tia ...
... Sandy grassland in northern China is a fragile ecosystem with poor soil fertility. Exploring how plant species regulate growth and nutrient absorption under the background of nitrogen (N) deposition is crucial for the management of the sandy grassland ecosystem. We carried out a field experiment with six N levels in the Hulunbuir Sandy Land of China from 2014 to 2016 and explored the Agropyron mic ...
... Florfenicol (FFC) is one of the most universally used antibiotics in aquaculture, which is substitute for chloramphenicol extensively, while the massive residues in aquatic environment were assumed to threaten the non-target organisms. Present research investigated the effects of florfenicol on growth, chlorophyll content, photosynthesis, and antioxidant ability of Isochrysis galbana. The results ...

Abstract:
... The SWAT model equipped with an improved auto-irrigation function was used to assess the impacts of cultivation practices on irrigated and dryland cotton yield and water conservation in the Texas Panhandle. Results showed the largest irrigation depth led to reductions in irrigation and crop evapotranspiration (ETc) with slightly increased cotton yields compared to the baseline scenarios under diff ...

... Antibiosis is a key feature widely exploited to develop biofungicides based on the ability of biological control agents (BCAs) to produce fungitoxic compounds. A less recognised attribute of plant-associated beneficial microorganisms is their ability to stimulate the plant immune system, which may provide long-term, systemic self-protection against different types of pathogens. By using convention ...
... Large-scale implementation of geologic carbon storage (GCS) to help reduce atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions requires stakeholder confidence that injected CO₂ will remain contained and that potential subsurface environmental risks are acceptably small and manageable. The U.S. Department of Energy's National Risk Assessment Partnership (NRAP) has developed an open-source integrated assessment mo ...
... The noncoding sequences in the UTR between the Gene Start signal (GS) and the initial codon AUG from 25 measles virus genomes were compared. The conserved sequences 5′-U(NNNNN)5-8-3′ and 5'-(CNNNNNC)-3′ were found in the genome and the UTR of phosphoprotein (P) and Fusion (F) mRNA. These sequences were named the U-Unit and the C-Unit, respectively. These two sequences are different in the P and F ...
... Antibiotics are widespread in various environmental media, and may pose a potential threat to aquatic ecosystems and non-target aquatic organisms. Florfenicol (FLO) is one of the most commonly used antibiotics in aquaculture, and extensively used to substitute chloramphenicol with its strong sterilization and low adverse effect. In this study, flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, an important economic ...
... The planktonic larval phase of scleractinian coral life-history represents a crucial stage when dispersal take place and genetic diversity among populations is maintained. Understanding the dynamics influencing larval survival is especially relevant in the context of climate change, as larvae may be more vulnerable to environmental disturbances than adults. Several physiological parameters of cora ...

Abstract:
... Florfenicol (FLO) is the most commonly used antibiotic in aquaculture for various fish bacterial disease treatments. To ensure that low amounts of residue occur in cultured aquatic products, it is important to study the depletion of antibiotics in the process of aquaculture. Recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) is a promising aquaculture model with high water utilization that could effectively r ...
... The success of a thermal water flood for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) depends on a detailed representation of the geometrical and hydraulic properties of the fracture network, which induces discrete, channelized flow behavior. The resulting high-resolution model is typically computationally very demanding. Here, we use the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Mapping Method to reconstruct high-resolutio ...
... The objective of this study is to determine the immunogenicity and safety of our novel anti-gastrin vaccine that is composed of the common amino-terminal portions of human carboxy-amidated gastrin-17 (G17) and glycine-extended gastrin-17 (gly-G17) as well as the common carboxy-terminal portion of the gastrin precursor progastrin (in a 50:50 mixture) all covalently linked to tetanus toxoid (TT) via ...
... A biphasic chiral recognition system based on chiral ligand exchange with Cu(II)‐N‐n‐dodecyl‐L‐proline and hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin as an additive was developed to enantioseparate aromatic β‐amino acids by high‐speed counter‐current chromatography. The biphasic chiral recognition system was established with an n‐butanol/water (1:1, v/v) solvent system by adding N‐n‐dodecyl‐L‐proline and Cu(II) ...
... As one of the most important Quaternary mammalian faunas in southern China, the Gigantopithecus-Sinomastodon fauna has received much attention. The large-primate fossil teeth newly collected from Juyuan karst cave in Boyue Mountain, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of southern China, can be identified as Gigantopithecus blacki. The morphology and size of these G. blacki teeth differ from those of ...
... In this paper we examine the change in the composition of the Pleistocene primate fauna in southern China based on about 3600 fossil teeth collected from 14 cave sites in Chongzuo area, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Although it is often difficult to identify the taxonomic position of isolated Pleistocene primate teeth, nine genera were provisionally identified: Homo, Gigantopithecus, Pongo and ...
... Zhiren Cave in southern China is an important site for the study of the origin and the environmental background of early modern humans. The combination of Elephas kiangnanensis, Elephas maximus, and Megatapirus augustus, indicates an early representative of the typical Asian elephant fauna. Previous U-series dating of flowstone calcite has pinpointed an upper age limit for the fossils of about 100 ...

Abstract:
... In order to investigate molar enamel thickness and distribution in Gigantopithecus blacki, two maxillary and three mandibular molars were micro-CT scanned, and the 3-dimensional (3D) shape of the enamel crown cap was digitally reconstructed. Results show that G. blacki molars have very thick enamel, over 6 mm in places. 3D average thickness of the entire crown relative to crown size was shown to b ...
... The use of a dinuclear Cu2(II)-β-cyclodextrin complex (Cu2-β-CyD) as a chiral selector (CS) was successfully applied to chiral high speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) for the enantioseparation of aromatic α-hydroxycarboxylic acids. α-cyclohexylmandelic acid (CHMA) as a case was studied to optimize the separation temperature, the pH value of the aqueous phase, and the concentration of the ...
