Yak (Bos grunniens) is an unique ruminant species in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) microbiota not only associated with nutrients metabolism, but also contributes to host's local adaptation. Examining between cattle and yak different geography could improve our understanding about role of metabolism To this end, we compared rumen, reticulum, omasum abomasum dairy cattle, yellow three herds (WQ yak, SZ ZB yak) lived altitude, based on sequencing bacterial...

Abstract Cytokines including tumor necrosis factor, interleukins, interferons, and chemokines are abundantly produced in various diseases. As pleiotropic factors, cytokines involved nearly every aspect of cellular functions such as migration, survival, proliferation, differentiation. Oligodendrocytes the myelin-forming cells central nervous system play critical roles conduction action potentials, supply metabolic components for axons, other functions. Emerging evidence suggests that both...

Abstract Oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination in the central nervous system are controlled coordinated by a complex gene regulatory network that contains several transcription factors, including Zfp488 Nkx2.2. Despite proven role oligodendrocyte little is known about exact mode of Nkx2.2 action, their target genes. Here, we used overexpression differentiating CG4 cells to identify aspects oligodendroglial expression profile depend on these factors. Although both factors primarily...

This paper proposes a flow-path network (FPN) model to simulate complex surface flow based on drainage-constrained triangulated irregular (TIN). The TIN was constructed using critical points and drainage lines extracted from digital terrain surface. Runoff generated the simplified as 'water volumes' at constrained random that were then used starting of paths (i.e. source points). for each volume' by tracing direction point over stream system outlet watershed.

The yak (Bos grunniens), an indigenous bovine on the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau (QTP), is reported to digest low quality forage a greater extent and require less protein energy for maintenance than introduced Qaidam cattle taurus). Ruminal bacteria play major role in feed degradation, therefore, we hypothesized that ruminal composition would differ between yaks cattle, confer advantage poor diets. To test our hypothesis, determined profiles, rumen fermentation parameters, enzyme activities...

Traditionally, yaks graze only natural pasture all year round without supplements. Forage intake of lactating is below energy and protein requirements, even in the summer, suckling lose a substantial amount significant body weight. Today, to mitigate loss weight, supplementary feed being offered yaks. However, effects on ruminal bacterial communities unknown. In current study, we examined effect microbiota, using 16S rRNA sequencing, volatile fatty acids (VFAs). Twenty-four similar weight...
