Lycopene, one of the strongest natural antioxidants known and main carotene in ripe tomato, is very important for human health. Light well to be most environmental stimuli influencing lycopene biosynthesis; specifically, red light induces higher content tomato. However, whether blue promotes synthesis remains elusive exactly how stimulation unclear. We applied supplemental lighting on tomato plants at anthesis monitor effect synthesis. Our results showed that blue/red induced fruits;...

Therefore, our study aims to utilize TCM syndromes alongside conventional risk factors as predictive variables construct a machine learning model for assessing new-onset Methods We conducted ten-year follow-up encompassing 4,511 participants from multiple community hospitals. dependent variable was occurrence stroke, while independent included age,...

Because tissue responses to implants determine the success or failure of engineering products, fibroin/sericin-based scaffolds including bionic silk scaffolds, native fibers, fibroin and regenerated have been fabricated, their biocompatibility was investigated. Fibroin/sericin-based were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) X-ray diffraction (XRD). Bionic beneficial fiber formation through self-assembly. Histological immunofluorescent staining analysis demonstrated that did...

BackgroundTick-borne encephalitis (TBE), caused by tick-borne virus (TBEV), is an infectious disease involving the central nervous system (CNS). The pathogenesis of CNS injury has not been clearly demonstrated. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and some cytokines, such as interleukin 6 (IL-6), may play important roles in disruption blood-brain barrier (BBB) TBE. Methods72 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were collected from TBE patients north eastern China. IgG levels CSF serum compared...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on silica-induced lung fibrosis in a rat model. Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group, silica and BMSC group (n = 10 per group). BMSCs injected successively 14th, 28th, 42nd days after exposure. All sacrificed 56 We detected pathological fibrotic changes, apoptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis their tissue by histopathological examination, hydroxyproline content assays,...

Abstract Silicosis is a devastating occupational disease caused by long‐term inhalation of silica particles, inducing irreversible lung damage and affecting function, without effective treatment. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are heterogeneous subset adult that exhibit excellent self‐renewal capacity, multi‐lineage differentiation potential immunomodulatory properties. The aim this study was to explore the effect bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal (BMSCs) in silica‐induced rat model pulmonary...

Objectives To explore the effects and mechanisms of bilirubin on mitochondrial function type macrophage cell death after exposure to cigarette smoke extract (CSE).

The development of biomimetic bone graft materials for periodontal tissue engineering is a field topical interest. In this study, we designed dual-functionalized apatite nanocomposite, which could integrate multiple molecular cues manipulating the fate ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). Briefly, inspired by mussels, nanohydroxyapatite was fabricated using polydopamine structure as template (named tHA) and then surface-modified with bone-forming peptide-1 (BFP-1) vascular endothelial growth...

This study aims to investigate the differences in epigenomic patterns of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation gingival tissues between patients with periodontitis (PD) and healthy controls, identifying potential biomarkers.As a multifactorial disease, PD involves multiple genetic environmental effects. The m6A modification is most prevalent internal mRNA linked various inflammatory diseases. However, pattern m6A-related signatures remain unclear.An microarray human was conducted eight...

Long-term statin therapy has been shown to protect against several cancers, including esophageal cancer (EC). While the mechanisms underlying this effect are not clear. We investigated of hydrophobic simvastatin and hydrophilic pravastatin on proliferation EC cells sought explore mechanisms.Esophageal adenocarcinoma OE-19 squamous cell carcinoma Eca-109 were treated with different concentrations or for 24 h 48 h. Cell was assessed by Counting Kit-8 assay. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) play key roles in cancer progression. Extensive research has revealed that miR‑26a is abnormally expressed and functions as a tumor suppressor numerous types of cancer. Thus, the present study was undertaken to investigate regulatory role potential mechanism action breast Furthermore, aimed examine alterations expression its effects on human cells. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR conducted assess differences between normal specimens. A Cell Counting Kit‑8 assay...

Abstract Japanese encephalitis virus(JEV), tick-borne virus(TBEV), and eastern equine virus (EEEV) can cause symptoms of encephalitis. Establishment accurate easy methods by which to detect these viruses is essential for the prevention treatment associated infectious diseases. Currently, there are still no multiple antigen detection available clinically. An ELISA-array, detects antigens, handle, inexpensive, has enormous potential in pathogen detection. ELISA-array method simultaneous five...

Abstract A research model combining a disease and syndrome can provide new ideas for the treatment of ischemic stroke. In field traditional Chinese medicine, blood stasis toxin (BST) is considered an important seen in patients with stroke (IS). However, biological basis IS-BST currently not well understood. Therefore, this study aimed to explore mechanism syndrome. This divided into two parts: (1) establishment animal BST stroke; (2) use omics methods identify differentially expressed genes...

The agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI), a surgical method to reinnervate physiologically-relevant proprioceptive feedback for control of limb prostheses, has demonstrated the ability provide natural afferent sensations amputees when actuating their prostheses. Following an AMI surgery, one potential challenge is atrophy disused muscles, which would weaken reinnervation efficacy AMI. It well known that electrical muscle stimulus (EMS) can reduce atrophy. In this study, we conducted...
