Lactobacillus rhamnosus and L. plantarum Combination Treatment Ameliorated Colitis Symptoms in a Mouse Model by Altering Intestinal Microbial Composition and Suppressing Inflammatory Response.

Scope: Changes in composition of intestinal microbes may disrupt the balance of their interaction with a susceptible host, resulting in development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Methods And Results: The study applied in combination two Lactobacillus strains (L. rhamnosus BY-02, L.

Quantitative Acetylome Analysis of Soft Wheat Seeds during Artificial Ageing.

Lysine acetylation (Kac) is a protein post-translational modification (PTM) widely found in plants that plays vital roles in metabolic pathways. Although seed germination and development are regulated by Kac, its potential function in seed ageing remains to be investigated. Our preliminary study demonstrated that Kac levels were altered during wheat seed artificial ageing.

Development and application of a rapid all-in-one plasmid CRISPR-Cas9 system for iterative genome editing in Bacillus subtilis.

Background: Bacillus subtilis, an important industrial microorganism, is commonly used in the production of industrial enzymes. Genome modification is often necessary to improve the production performance of cell. The dual-plasmid CRISPR-Cas9 system suitable for iterative genome editing has been applied in Bacillus subtilis.

Application of three-dimensional reconstruction and visible simulation technique in reoperation of hepatolithiasis.

Background And Aim: Hepatolithiasis often requires repeated operations in East Asia. This study aims to evaluate the clinical application of three-dimensional reconstruction and visible simulation techniques for repeated operation in patients with intrahepatic calculi.

Methods: A medical image processing system was used for modeling, segmentation, and three-dimensional reconstruction of intrahepatic stones in 20 patients, consisting of 7 males and 13 females who were subjected to repeated surgical treatment from May 2010 to November 2011.
