The current study aimed to determine the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on male fertility.This is a single-center, hospital-based observational that included autopsied testicular and epididymal specimens deceased COVID-19 patients (n=6) recruited recovering inpatients (n=23) with an equal number age-matched controls, respectively. We performed histopathological examinations specimens, also TUNEL assay immunohistochemistry. Whereas, we investigated semen specimen for sperm parameters immune...
Significance Although the overwhelming majority of COVID-19-related deaths are due to respiratory failure, little is known about host response SARS-CoV-2 in lung parenchyma. By profiling and colon transcriptome proteome nine patients who died COVID-19 during first wave pandemic Wuhan, China, we obtained molecular insights into severe infection. Interestingly, all samples had a low viral burden, finding that suggests patients’ may be uncontrolled inflammatory processes rather than an active...
Highly charged (zeta potential ζ = +105 mV, acetate counterions) chitin nanoparticles (NCh) of three different average aspect ratios (∼5, 25, and >60) were obtained by low-energy deconstruction partially deacetylated chitin. The effective in reducing the interfacial tension stabilized oil/water interface via network formation (interfacial dilatational rheology data) becoming stabilizing Pickering systems, depending on NCh size, composition, formulation variables. improved wettability...
Grain yield of wheat is greatly associated with the population spikes, i.e., spikenumberm-2 . To obtain this index in a reliable and efficient way, it necessary to count spikes accurately automatically. Currently computer vision technologies have shown great potential automate task effectively low-end manner. In particular, counting typical visual problem, which substantially studied under name object Computer Vision. TasselNet, represents one state-of-the-art approaches, convolutional...
Partially deacetylated α-chitin nanofibers/nanowhiskers mixtures (DEChNs) and TEMPO-oxidized nanowhiskers (TOChNs) that had positive negative charges, respectively, were transformed into hydrogels with mass concentrations of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0% under ammonium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid "gas phase coagulation". To the best our knowledge, 0.2% is lowest content reported for successful preparation physical self-standing based on chitin nanofibers/nanowhiskers. The even uniform...
BackgroundFibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has become a promising therapeutic target for metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. However, the clinical application of natural FGF21 molecule is limited because its instability in vitro short half-life vivo. To improve FGF21's property, we screened high receptor binding analogs made FGF21-Fc-GLP-1 dual-targeted constructs to investigate their activity number experiments .MethodsUtilizing...
High yield (>85%) and low-energy deconstruction of never-dried residual marine biomass is proposed following partial deacetylation microfluidization. This process results in chitin nanofibrils (nanochitin, NCh) ultrahigh axial size (aspect ratios up to 500), one the largest for bioderived nanomaterials. The nanochitins are colloidally stable water (ζ-potential = +95 mV) produce highly entangled networks upon pH shift. Viscoelastic strong hydrogels formed by ice templating freezing thawing...
Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is the ongoing global pandemic that poses substantial challenges to public health worldwide. A subset of COVID-19 patients experience systemic inflammatory response, known as cytokine storm, which may lead death. Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) an important mediator inflammation and cell Here, we examined interaction RIPK1-mediated innate...
The 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)/laccase/O2 system was used to prepare cellulose nanofibers from wood without requiring any chlorine-containing oxidant. Laccase degraded by oxidized TEMPO (TEMPO+) formed laccase-mediated oxidation with O2, which competed the of cellulose. Thus, large amounts laccase and a long reaction time were needed introduce ∼0.6 mmol g–1 C6-carboxylate groups onto TEMPO/laccase/O2 underwent one-way reduced through TEMPO+. When applied again following...
Systematic autopsy and comprehensive pathological analyses of COVID-19 decedents should provide insights into the disease characteristics facilitate development novel therapeutics. In this study, we report findings from lungs lymphatic organs 12 decedents-findings that evaluated histopathological changes, immune cell signature inflammatory factor expression in lungs, spleen lymph nodes. Here show major pulmonary alterations included diffuse alveolar damage, interstitial fibrosis exudative...
The population of plants is a crucial indicator in plant phenotyping and agricultural production, such as growth status monitoring, yield estimation, grain depot management. To enhance the production efficiency liberate labor force, many automated counting methods have been proposed, which computer vision-based approaches show great potentials due to feasibility high-throughput processing low cost. In particular, with success deep learning, more deeper learning-based are introduced deal...
