Jianquan Liu and colleagues report the draft genome sequence of domestic yak, Bos grunniens. Their comparative analyses with low-altitude cattle provide insights into high-altitude adaptation in yak. Domestic yaks (Bos grunniens) meat other necessities for Tibetans living at high altitude on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau adjacent regions. Comparison between yak closely related taurus) is informative studying animal to altitude. Here, we present a female generated using Illumina-based technology...
Women are more susceptible to major depressive disorder (MDD). A possible explanation is that women have a trait tendency engage in ruminative response style. Depending on cognitive model of depression, attention bias, memory bias and self-referential were closely related among depressed patients. Previous studies explored the neural mechanism biases by using amplitude low frequency fluctuations (ALFF) or functional connectivity (FC), few combined these two metrics, especially focusing...
Abstract Background Occupational burnout in physicians is prevalent and can have many negative effects. The purposes of this study were to explore the prevalence occupational analyze effects social support role stress on among Chinese physicians. Methods Using multistage-stratified cluster random sampling, selected participate completed three questionnaires: Maslach Burnout Inventory; Cross-Cultural Role Conflict, Ambiguity Overload Scale; Social Support Rating Scale. A path analysis was run...
Abstract Using DNA barcoding for species identification remains challenging many plant groups. New sequencing approaches such as complete plastid genome may provide some increased power and practical benefits beyond standard barcodes. We undertook a case study comparing to discrimination in the ecologically economically important family Lauraceae, using 191 genomes 131 from 25 genera, representing largest plastome data set Lauraceae date. found that sequences were useful correcting errors...
Abstract Hybridization can drive speciation. We examine the hypothesis that Castanea henryi var. omeiensis is an evolutionary lineage originated from hybridization between two near-sympatric diploid taxa, C. var . and mollissima produce a high-quality genome assembly for characterize relationships among related chestnut taxa. Our results show has mosaic but accumulated divergence in all 12 chromosomes. observe positive correlation admixture proportions recombination rates across genome....
Hibernation is a crucial adaptive strategy for amphibians, facilitating survival in harsh environmental conditions by lowering metabolic rates and reducing energy use. This study employed GC-MS LC-MS metabolomics to systematically analyze the serum metabolome of Bufo gargarizans during hibernation, aiming uncover its adaptation mechanisms. A total 136 differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) were identified, which 115 downregulated 21 upregulated, mainly involved amino acid, carbohydrate,...
Sexual dimorphism, a widespread phenomenon across the animal kingdom, encompasses differences between sexes in size, morphology, and physiological traits. In this study, we investigated sexual dimorphism flexor carpi radialis (FCR) muscle, which is critical for amplexus Asiatic toads (Bufo gargarizans), using integrated transcriptomic metabolomic approaches. Male exhibited significantly larger FCR muscles, reflecting enhanced muscle function required sustained amplexus. Transcriptomic...
Background Although protein supplementation may be desirable in the management of sarcopenia, appropriate requirements for older adults with sarcopenia are presently unclear. Objective The aim this study was to determine (65–81 year) by using indicator amino acid oxidation (IAAO) technology. Methods Nine (four male participants and five female participants) participated study, intakes ranging from 0.1 1.8 g/(kg·d). Each participant consumed an adapted diet a level 1.0 g/(kg·d) 1.7 resting...
Burn-out among doctors threatens their own health, and that of patients. To identify risk factors the doctor burn-out is vital to improving health increasing quality healthcare services. This study aims explore relationship between work-family conflict (WFC) Chinese mediating role coping styles in this relationship.A cross-sectional survey was conducted China, with a questionnaire packet which consisted Maslach Burnout Inventory (CMBI), WFC Scale Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ)....
Members of the plant-specific IQ67-domain (IQD) protein family are involved in plant development and basal defense response. Although systematic characterization this has been carried out Arabidopsis, tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), Brachypodium distachyon rice (Oryza sativa), analysis expression profiling gene soybean (Glycine max) have not previously reported. In study, we identified structurally characterized IQD genes genome. A complete set 67 (GmIQD1–67) was using Blast search tools,...
Objective The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of neck circumference (NC) in predicting prehypertension children and adolescents. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional including 6,802 adolescents (3,631 boys 3,171 girls) aged 5-18 years. Main anthropometric data related information were collected. Results prevalence 14.4%, 16.4% 17.1% normal weight, overweight obese group respectively. Among participants with body mass index (BMI), higher NC significantly associated...
Abstract Background: Patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) experience impaired quality of life (QoL) and psychological distress. Catheter ablation AF can markedly improve QoL. However, the effect catheter on status is unknown. Hypothesis: Depression, anxiety, QoL after in patients AF. Methods: A total 166 consecutive symptomatic were examined. Eighty‐two (55 men, mean age 55.9 ± 6.1 y) underwent 84 (58 57.2 5.4 years) received antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy. The Self‐Rating...
Fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome is a widespread metabolic disease in laying hens that decreases egg production and even causes death severe cases. Many traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, such as saikosaponin (SSa), have been shown to alleviate fatty liver, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we aimed explore alleviation of dietary SSa on excessive hepatic lipid deposition interactions between intestinal microbiota bile acid (BA) hens. Fifty-four 35-wk-old...
Abstract Understanding the role of climate changes and geography as drivers population divergence speciation is a long‐standing goal evolutionary biology can inform conservation. In this study, we used restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing (RAD‐seq) to evaluate genetic diversity, structure, infer demographic history endangered tree, Phoebe zhennan which distributed around Sichuan Basin. Genomic patterns revealed two distinct clusters, each largely confined West East. Despite sympatry...
Abstract Background Corylus was renowned for its production of hazelnut and taxol. To understand the local adaptation Chinese species speed up breeding efforts in China, we analyzed leaf transcriptome mandshurica , which had a high tolerance to fungal infections cold. Results A total 12,255,030 clean pair-end reads were generated then assembled into 37,846 Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) sequences. During functional annotation, 26,565 ESTs annotated with Gene Ontology (GO) terms using Blast2go...
Abstract The biologist's ruler for biodiversity is the species; accurate species identification fundamental to conservation of endangered and in‐depth biological scientific exploration. However, delimitation affinities Horsfieldia in China has been controversial, owing part very low levels molecular divergence within family Myristicaceae. Because boundaries phylogenetic relationships are also unclear, 13 samples were collected across its distribution their genomes subjected shotgun...
Genetic factors can influence specific human coping styles. Polymorphisms in the Src family tyrosine kinase FYN gene have been associated with several personality traits, but no studies examined possible relationship between alleles and To this end, we association three single nucleotide polymorphisms of (rs706895, rs3730353, rs6916861) styles as measured by Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire 488 healthy Chinese-Han individuals. In total sample population, there were significant...
Sexual dimorphism is often considered to be the result of differences in intensity sexual selection between sexes. From this point view, limb bones Bufo gargarizans southwest China was studied. Results showed that fore- and hindlimb skeletons species were sexually dimorphic anatomy. The humerus, radioulna, total lengths forelimb skeleton males substantially longer than those females, but hand length smaller females. Several other features males, such as deltoid medial crest areas humerus...
