Abstract:
... The flowers of Trollius chinensis Bunge (Ranunculaceae) is a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat various inflammatory diseases, including upper respiratory infections, chronic tonsillitis, and pharyngitis. Recently, there has been growing research on the antiviral role of the flowers of T. chinensis Bunge. However, little is known about its anti-influenza virus effects and the underlying me ...
... Rapid detection technology of aquaculture fishery drug residues is needed to supplement large-scale instrument methods. To do this, the time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TRFIA) method and portable three-dimensional (3D) printing equipment platform were used, in combination with smartphones, to detect malachite green (MG) in pond sediments. The TRFIA was coupled to MG monoclonal antibodies (m ...

Abstract:
... In traditional Chinese medicine, a long term of improper diet causes the Dampness and disturbs Zang-Fu's functions including Kidney deficiency. Atractylodes lancea (Atr) and Magnolia officinalis (Mag) as a famous herb pair are commonly used to transform Dampness, with kidney protection. To explore how Atr and Mag protected against insulin signaling impairment in glomerular podocytes induced by hig ...

Abstract:
... Cimicifuga foetida L. is a well-established traditional Chinese medicine with heat-clearing and detoxifying effects and has good therapeutic effect on oral mucosal ulcer and pharyngitis. The rhizome of this herb is rich in triterpenoid glycosides, including 23-O-acetylshengmanol-3-o-α-L-arabinoside (DA). Whether and how DA attenuates acute lung injury (ALI) are unclear. Accordingly, we focused on ...
... Contamination of V. parahaemolyticus in raw product and culture areas of Crassostrea gigas has been a concern in food hygiene and infectious diseases in the shellfish aquaculture industry for decades. Although numerous researchers have presently objective of decreasing pathogen microorganism contaminated load in raw oysters or genetics improvement for prevention, the in-depth information at the mo ...

Abstract:
... Identification of genes that reliably mark distinct cell types is key to leveraging single-cell RNA sequencing to better understand organismal biology. Such genes are usually chosen by measurement of differential expression between groups of cells and selecting those with the greatest magnitude or most statistically significant change. Many methods have been developed for performing such analyses, ...

Abstract:
... Fraser’s dolphins (Lagenodelphis hosei) exhibit the capability to restore nearly normal pigmentation after full-thickness wounding. However, the association among melanocytes, melanin and skin pigmentation during wound healing in cetaceans has yet to be addressed. Here, the number of melanocytes and the distribution of melanocytes and melanin in different-colored skin and different wound-healing s ...

Abstract:
... Several alphaviruses, such as chikungunya (CHIKV) and Onyong-nyong (ONNV), are endemic in Kenya and often cause outbreaks in different parts of the country. We assessed the seroprevalence of alphaviruses in patients with acute febrile illness in two geographically distant areas in Kenya with no previous record of alphavirus outbreaks. Blood samples were collected from febrile patients in health fa ...

Abstract:
... The annulus fibrosus (AF) and endplate (EP) are collagenous spine tissues that are frequently injured due to gradual mechanical overload. Macroscopic injuries to these tissues are typically a by-product of microdamage accumulation. Many existing histochemistry and biochemistry techniques are used to examine microdamage in the AF and EP; however, there are several limitations when used in isolation ...

Fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI) is characterized by oligo/amenorrhea and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and is caused by the expansion of the CGG repeat in the 5′UTR of Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1). Approximately 20% of women carrying an FMR1 premutation (PM) allele (55–200 CGG repeat) develop FXPOI. Repeat Associated Non-AUG (RAN)-translation dependent on the v ...

Abstract:
... Serum samples of 638 free-ranging wild mammals from São Paulo state, Brazil, were tested for neutralizing antibodies against rabies virus by the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test. Overall seroprevalence was 1.7% among 24 species surveyed, with individuals of six species having positive results indicating exposure to rabies virus. ...

Abstract:
... A key question in biology is whether all cells of a given ‘cell type’ within an individual have more or less the same phenotype, especially in relation to nonimprinted autosomal loci. Some studies have shown differential allelic expression of autosomal genes to confer phenotypic variability at the individual cell level. Here, we report the amount of A and B histo-blood group antigens, products of ...

Abstract:
... Onconeural antibodies are a group of autoantibodies present in patients with paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS), and are indicative for underlying malignancies. The use of indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) as the sole screening method for onconeural antibodies without line blot assay (LBA) could potentially miss a significant population of patients with PNS. However, testing each serum individua ...

Abstract:
... In response to infection or sterile insults, inflammatory programmed cell death is an essential component of the innate immune response to remove infected or damaged cells. PANoptosis is a unique innate immune inflammatory cell death pathway regulated by multifaceted macromolecular complexes called PANoptosomes, which integrate components from other cell death pathways. Growing evidence shows that ...

Abstract:
... Vaccination is the practical solution for the prevention of rabies in dogs. Assessment of the immunogenicity of vaccination includes estimation of specific rabies virus neutralizing antibodies (VNA) in the target species. We undertook a study to estimate the levels of VNA in free-roaming dogs with a history of rabies vaccination in Bengaluru city, India. We compared the rapid fluorescent focus inh ...

C57BL/6 mice and Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats are the most commonly used model animals for studying ESGs and HFs. Previous studies have shown the distribution of ESGs and HFs in volar hindfeet of C57BL/6 mice, but there are few or no reports on the distribution of ESGs ...
