Abstract Because of spontaneous agglomeration effect and undesirable electronic state Zr sites on the surface, zirconium (hydro)oxides generally exhibit suboptimal defluoridation capacity. Herein, a template confinement‐ligand anchoring strategy is developed by utilizing confined growth hydroxide (ZH) inside chitosan hydrogel beads (CHB) subsequent fumaric acid (fm) its surface in monodentate mononuclear coordination mode. This technique leads to uniform dispersion ultrafine fmZH (≈3.4 nm)...

Overweight and obesity are growing health problems in domestic cats, increasing the risks of insulin resistance, lipid dyscrasias, neoplasia, cardiovascular disease, decreasing longevity. The signature feline gut microbiota has not been studied at whole-genome metagenomic level. We performed shotgun sequencing fecal samples eight overweight/obese normal cats housed same research environment. obtained 271 Gbp sequences generated a 961-Mbp de novo reference contig assembly, with 1.14 million...

To evaluate whether olfactory 1/early B cell factor-associated zinc-finger protein (OAZ), a candidate lupus susceptibility gene involved in antinuclear antibody (ANA) production, plays role the regulation of cells by mesenchymal stem (MSCs).MSCs derived from bone marrow patients with systemic erythematosus (SLE) and healthy control subjects were expanded incubated small interfering RNAs specific for OAZ or nontargeting sequence. Knockdown messenger RNA levels its downstream genes was...

Abstract Background Early diagnosis of tuberculosis meningitis (TBM) remains a great challenge during clinical practice. The diagnostic efficacies cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)‐based mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) culture, modified Ziehl–Neelsen (ZN) staining, Xpert MTB/RIF, and metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) for TBM remained elusive. Methods A total 216 adult patients with suspicious were retrospectively enrolled in this multi‐cohort study. performances MGIT, ZN mNGS...

Abstract Atherosclerosis (AS) is associated with high morbidity and mortality, thus imposing a growing burden on modern society. Herb‐derived bicyclol (BIC) versatile bioactive compound that can be used to treat AS. However, its efficacy in AS not yet described. Here, it shown BIC normalizes gut microflora dysbiosis induced by fat diet Apoe (−/−) mice. Metagenome‐wide association study analysis verifies the modulation carbohydrate‐active enzymes short‐chain fatty acid generating genes flora...

Pressure overload-induced hypertrophic remodeling is a critical pathological process leading to heart failure (HF). Suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS3) has been demonstrated protect against cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction, but its mechanisms are largely unknown. Using primary cardiomyocytes cardiac-specific SOCS3 knockout (SOCS3cko) or overexpression mice, we that modulation level influenced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, apoptosis dysfunction induced by stimuli. We found glucose...

Our previous work proved that sequence specific double strand RNA (dsRNA-p21) effectively activated p21 gene expression of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and consequently suppressed CRC growth. However, efficient delivery system is a significant challenge to achieve sufficient therapy. In this study, self-assembled HA/PEI/dsRNA-p21 ternary complex (TC-dsRNA-p21) was developed for the tumor-target dsRNA-p21 into cells. Hyaluronic acid (HA) introduced shield PEI/dsRNA-p21 binary complexes...

Feline obesity is common, afflicting ~25-40% of domestic cats. Obese cats are predisposed to many metabolic dyscrasias, such as insulin resistance, altered blood lipids, and feline hepatic lipidosis. Fibroblast Growth Factor-21 (FGF21) an endocrine hormone that mediates the fat-liver axis, in humans animals, FGF21 can ameliorate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, obesity. Activation pathway may have therapeutic benefits for obese cats.In this preliminary cross-sectional study, ad libitum...

Hydrogels with polysaccharides as high polymer substrates have surprising advantages in wastewater treatment complex components. Therefore, this study, named EPS were extracted from Enteromorpha prolifera, a coastal pollutant wide range of sources, and cationic modification was performed to obtain CAEPS, the hydrogel double network structure prepared based on CAEPS. Meanwhile, structural characteristic CAEPS-based identified by HPLC, AFM, FT-IR, TGA, SEM-EDS, Pore size distribution, WCA,...

Upgma analysis, principal component genetic diversity analysis and distance of RAPD data were used to assess the extent host specialization in 50 isolates S. homoeocarpa from five turfgrass hosts. In upgma occurrence was not readily apparent based on visual inspection. Genetic showed significant differentiation among different species ( G ST = 0.34, P < 0.001). The strongest evidence for some degree came statistical distances isolates. By grouping pairwise between their species, analysing...

Eimeria spp. are important intestinal pathogens of chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus). Anticoccidial feed additives, chemicals, and ionophores have traditionally been used to control infections in broiler production. Thus, the trend toward antibiotic-free organic production requires new approaches coccidiosis prevention. Two not mutually exclusive methods use plant extracts with antiparasitic activity manipulation microbiota by pre- probiotics. In present study, birds were inoculated a...
