Seasonal biases (the warm-season contribution) of Holocene mean annual temperature (MAT) reconstructions from geological records were proposed as a possible cause the mismatch with climate simulated temperature. Here we analyze terrestrial mollusk assemblages that best reflect seasonal signals and provide quantitative MAT four-season for northern China during past 20,000 years. The estimated temperatures four-season-mean based on mollusks shows peak ~9000-4000 years ago, followed by cooling...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, but no drugs can cure this disease. Chalcones possess good antioxidant activity, anti-neuroinflammatory neuroprotective effects, inhibitory effects on Aβ aggregation, and disaggregation ability. Therefore, chalcones are ideal lead compounds, discovery of novel anti-AD agent-based necessary. Hydroxy groups aryl benzyl ether were introduced into chalcone scaffolds to obtain a series 2-hydroxyl-4-benzyloxy derivatives....

The accurate and prompt diagnosis of infections is essential for improving patient outcomes preventing bacterial drug resistance. Host gene expression profiling as an approach to infection holds great potential in assisting early infection. To improve the precision diagnosis, we developed InfectDiagno, a rank-based ensemble machine learning algorithm via host patterns. Eleven data sets were used training method development, InfectDiagno was optimized by multi-cohort samples. Nine independent...

Despite having been extensively studied, it remains largely unclear why humans bear a particularly high risk of cancer. The antagonistic pleiotropy hypothesis predicts that primate-specific genes (PSGs) tend to promote tumorigenesis, while the molecular atavism PSGs involved in tumors may represent recently derived duplicates unicellular genes. However, these predictions have not tested.
