Wang et al explored the metabolic improvement effects of jejunoileal side-to-side anastomosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), focusing on its multitarget regulatory potential through enhanced secretion glucagon-like peptide-1. This surgical procedure alters direction nutrient flow, activates distal ileal L cells, and increases endogenous peptide-1 levels, supporting glucose homeostasis, enhancing insulin sensitivity, regulating body weight, improving cardiovascular health....
To assess the prevalence of refractive errors (REs) in school children aged 6-18 years urban and rural settings Dalian, Northeast China.This is a school-based cross-sectional survey using multi-stage randomization technique. Six- to eighteen-year-old from elementary schools, junior senior high schools area an Dalian were included December 2018. All subjects underwent comprehensive questionnaire eye examination.A total 4,522 with age investigated. The age, gender-adjusted myopia,...
In predator-prey interactions, the prey faces extreme challenges from predation, which drives evolution of defense or anti-predator mechanisms. Compared with adult birds, nestlings are more vulnerable but not helpless. However, data on whether eavesdrop danger signals transmitted by other and mechanisms eavesdropping remain limited. brood parasitism, common cuckoo (
Song plays a vital role in communication songbirds, primarily for territorial defense and mate attraction. Larger animals, having larger vocal organs, produce low sound frequencies more efficiently. Accordingly, the frequency of vocalizations is often negatively correlated with body size across species, also among individuals many including several non-songbirds. However, little known about whether song reveals information males. We tested predicted positive relationship between traits male...
Abstract Background & Aims Patients with obstructive jaundice (OJ) are considered to be prothrombotic increased risk of thromboembolism complications. The role neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in procoagulant activity (PCA) and thrombosis patients OJ is unclear. In this study, we investigated NETs formation the elevated unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) inducing NETs, resulting enhanced PCA endothelial injury. Methods healthy controls were measured. was assessed via coagulation time...
Cuckoo nest parasites lay eggs in host nests and thereby transfer all reproduction costs to the hosts. This greatly reduces fitness. Parasitism has selected for evolution of anti-parasitic strategies hosts, including defense. The dynamic risk assessment hypothesis holds that parasitism only threatens during egg stage, so hosts should reduce level defense against after stage. We studied behavioral acoustic responses oriental reed warblers ( Acrocephalus orientalis ), both nestling stages,...
Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus laniger) are natural inhabitants of deciduous forests.They live solitary in their habitat.Their captive behaviour was studied by taking two bear pairs as study subjects Lahore Zoo, Pakistan.The based on the provision environmental enrichments to pairs.Each pair's pre-enrichment activity budget data collected scan sampling method 70 h, documenting cage area and behavioural ethogram.The observed behaviours were resting, eating, drinking, locomotion,...
Pheromone cues released from hosts or prey are of crucial importance to natural enemies for and habitat location. The use herbivorous insect sex pheromones has long been considered as a potential pest control alternative that is non-toxic harmless beneficials. We hypothesized Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), major predatory coccinellid beetle the devastating migratory Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), could perceive pheromone S. locate its...
Abstract The selective pressure exerted by avian brood parasites forces their hosts to evolve specific defense strategies. When subject parasite attack, will often emit alarm calls. To date, few studies have examined whether and how host responses different calls indicative of enemies vary with the host’s breeding stage. We carried out call playback experiments during both egg nestling stages oriental reed warbler Acrocephalus orientalis, a common cuckoo Cuculus canorus. exemplars were...
Birdsong is an important form of communication that plays role in territorial defense and mate attraction by conveying valuable information. While body-size song frequency are often negatively correlated among species, this relationship only found a few songbirds. Previous studies on the Dusky Warbler (Phylloscopus fuscatus) there was positive correlation between tarsus length peak frequency. And heavier male Warblers possess better territories obtain more opportunities for mating; body...
Although Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook) is an important species for wood production in subtropical China, it serious declines soil nutrients and timber productivity plantations have been reported, probably caused by successive rotation inappropriate cutting time. the significant effect of stand age on properties has widely recognized, research enzymes microbial communities relatively rare. In this study, assuming that short period one reason degradation, we measured...
Abstract The mutually antagonistic processes producing adaptations and counter-adaptations in avian brood parasites their hosts provide a model system for the study of coevolution; this topic has long been an area focus ornithology evolutionary biology. Although there is extensive body literature dealing with parasitism, few empirical studies have considered effects coevolutionary associated parasitism on acoustic characteristics parent–offspring communication. Under strong selection...
Living and/or non-living animal models are often used as stimuli to observe the behavioral responses of target animals. In past, parasites, predators, and harmless controls have been test host anti-parasitism defense behavior, their taxidermy specimens widely a set standard methods for study avian brood parasitism. recent years, with rapid development 3D-printing technology, 3D-printed bird expected be applied method in To evaluate use models, this tests reaction Oriental Reed Warbler...
Cuckoo nestlings thrive as avian brood parasites. To acquire sufficient food from the host parents, cuckoo generally make louder begging calls than nestlings, but this may cause them to be more likely attract attention of predators. Studies have shown that would respond alarm their parents by less, or crouching and remaining silent an adaptation reduce risk being heard Nevertheless, research is lacking on how parasite parents. We studied common ( Cuculus canorus ) one most species, oriental...
The common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) is an obligate brood parasite that has evolved a series of strategies to trick its hosts. female been hypothesized mimic the appearance and sounds several raptors deceive hosts into exhibiting anti-predator behavior. Such behavior would relax protection host nest thus allow approach unopposed. Many anti-parasite have found vary among geographical populations due different parasitic pressures from cuckoos. However, effect calls related levels pressure not...
