Abstract The Burmese python ( Python bivittatus ) is one of the most endangered pythons and commonly traded in international pet industry. In addition to wild P. , domesticated individuals from farms have been living on Hainan Island for nearly 20 years. intentional release or accidental escape farmed may lead risks, such as genetic introgression competition space food, owing differences between two populations limited resources. Our objective was better understand background native...

Bone tissue injuries are a significant health risk, and their repair is challenging. While various materials have potential for bone repair, issues like sourcing immune rejection limit use. Marine-derived collagen, abundant free from religious disease transmission concerns, promising biomaterial in engineering. Cross-linking modification can enhance its mechanical properties degradation rate, making it more suitable repair. However, detailed analysis of cross-linking methods, property...

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease with isolated platelet count decrease. A subset of patients responds inferiorly to the first-line therapies including glucocorticoid and intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), which underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. We first found that expression miR-28-5p was obviously increased in complete responders, decreased substantially low levels partial or non-responders. In passive ITP model, upregulation by injecting agomir...

Hearing sensitivity is of general interest from the perspective understanding functionality and evolution vertebrate auditory systems. Sexual dimorphism systems has been reported in several species vertebrates, but little known about this phenomenon turtles. Some morphological characteristics, such as middle ear tympanic membrane that influence hearing animals can result sexual dimorphism. To examine whether occurs turtles to compare characteristics with respect shape membrane, we measured...

Sound communication is important for underwater species. The wild population of the Chinese soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) listed as vulnerable. However, its vocalization, which can serve basis ecological and evolutionary research, has not been studied. Here, we performed recordings 23 turtles different ages sexes identified 720 calls. calls were manually divided into 10 call types according to visual aural inspection properties. similarity test indicated that manual division was...

The Hong Kong Whipping Frog (Polypedates megacephalus) is widespread on Hainan Island and yet nothing known about its history. To investigate this, we use sequences of a partial fragment mitochondrial ND1 flanking region from 248 individuals taken 30 localities. Analyses reveal low genetic diversity commonly shared haplotypes. Montane areas exhibit significantly greater than lowland (P 0.01). origin P. megacephalus dates to 1.06 Ma in the Pleistocene. Population expansion events were...

Exposure to noise can cause non-auditory health problems and has been widely studied in mammals such as rats rabbits. However, the effects of exposure on reptiles (such red-eared sliders) remain unclear. In this study, we determined exposure-induced transcriptomic changes liver slider ( Trachemys scripta elegans ) using Illumina Novaseq6000 sequencing technology. The transcriptome analysis identified 176 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which were mainly enriched lipid metabolism. KEGG...

In addition to breaking down food, mastication plays regulatory roles in tissue homeostasis. During mastication, the oral mucosa is subjected masticatory stress, and maintenance between mucosal damage repair a key process. Despite rapid healing during chewing, molecular mechanisms underlying remain unclear. this study, we investigated impact of stress on wound healing. Our data showed that reduced mice fed soft food diet resulted decelerated hard palate decreased numbers Ki67-positive cells...

This paper presents an independently tunable dual-band bandpass filter based on center shorting-stub-loaded resonators. The resonator is a dual-mode that generates odd-even modes approximately equal and coupled when the shorting stub very short. Two different sizes of resonators produce two separated resonant frequencies, which are mutually independent. coupling between source load introduced in circuit by designing appropriate structure, skirt selectivity greatly improved. Four varactor...
