BLV-CoCoMo Dual qPCR Assay Targeting LTR Region for Quantifying Bovine Leukemia Virus: Comparison with Multiplex Real-Time qPCR Assay Targeting Region.

The proviral load (PVL) of the bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a useful index for estimating disease progression and transmission risk. Real-time quantitative PCR techniques are widely used for PVL quantification. We previously developed a dual-target detection method, the "Liquid Dual-CoCoMo assay", that uses the coordination of common motif (CoCoMo) degenerate primers.

Covalent Modification of Selenium in Polysaccharide Enhances Immunoregulation Activity via the TLR4-Mediated MAPK/NF-κB Signaling Pathway.

Selenium (Se) is a crucial trace element that demonstrates significant immunomodulatory effects, which are attributed to the variability in its valence states and metabolic pathways. To investigate the Se-related immunoregulatory effects, locust bean gum (LBG), a typical galactomannan, was selenized by employing deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as high-efficiency solvents to obtain Se-covalent modified LBG (SeLBGs) with similar molecular mass and different Se contents (SeLBG, 1049.57 and SeLBG, 4926.

Network pharmacology and anticancer mechanism study of Dendrobium nobile dendrobine in the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Objective: This study aims to explore the potential targets and anticancer mechanisms of dendrobine from Dendrobium nobile in the treatment of colorectal cancer through network pharmacology, and to experimentally validate its specific effects.

Methods: Initially, potential targets of dendrobine were identified using the ITCM Traditional Chinese Medicine database, while colorectal cancer-related genes were obtained from the NCBI Gene database, with the intersection of these datasets taken for further analysis. Functional enrichment analysis was conducted using the Metascape database, and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed.

Statin Therapy for Primary and Secondary Prevention in Older Adults.

Purpose Of Review: Although statin therapy is well established to prevent atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASCVD) events in adults 40 to 75 years of age, it is less clear whether older adults benefit from statin therapy. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current evidence and guidelines on statin use for primary and secondary prevention in older patients.

Recent Findings: Moderate to high intensity statin therapy decreases cardiovascular event rates in older patients with or at risk for ASCVD.

Regulating the Performance of CO Adsorbents Based on the Pyrolysis Mechanism of Self-Sacrificial Templating Agents.

Previous research has proven that the pore shape and nitrogen group content of adsorbents play essential roles in determining their carbon dioxide (CO) adsorption performance. In this article, a series of nitrogen-doped porous carbon materials were prepared for CO adsorption by varying the proportion of carbon nitride, the pyrolysis temperature, and the activation ratio of KOH, using chitosan as the carbon source, carbon nitride (g-CN and g-CN) as self-sacrificing templating agents, and KOH as the activator. Among the prepared materials, T6-850-1 has the highest specific surface area () of 2336 m/g, and T6-750-1 has the highest microporous area () and CO adsorption capacity (1 bar, 298 K) of 1969 m/g and 3.

Allowing AI co-authors is a disregard for humanization.

Background: In this paper, we explore the question "Why can't AI be a coauthor?" and reveal a rarely discussed reason.

Methods And Results: First, allowing AI to be a coauthor disregards the uniquely human experience of writing texts. This means that human authors are seen as mere producers of texts rather than rational beings engaged in a value-added and humanized learning process expressed through the paper.

The quality characteristics and microbial communities of three components in traditional split-fermented red sour soup.

Red sour soup is a Guizhou specialty condiment made by the natural fermentation of tomatoes and chili. In this study, three components (tomato acid, chili acid, and tomato and chili mixed acid) of split-fermented red sour soup were explored to compare the quality characteristics and microbial communities in the middle and late fermentation stages. The titratable acidity of mixed acids was lower than that of tomato acid and chili acid in the middle stage, but it was significantly increased in the late stage.

Ex vivo Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Human Fetal Brain.

Background: The fetal brain undergoes a dynamic process of development during gestation, marked by well-orchestrated events such as neuronal proliferation, migration, axonal outgrowth, and dendritic arborization, mainly elucidated through histological studies. Ex vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a useful tool for 3D visualization of the developing fetal brain, serving as a complementary tool to traditional histology.

Summary: In this review, we summarized the commonly employed ex vivo MRI techniques and their advances in fetal brain imaging, and proposed a standard protocol for postmortem fetal brain specimen collection and fixation.

Design, synthesis and antifungal activity of novel pyrazole-amide-isothiazole derivatives as succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors.

To discover new fungicides to protect food safety and quality, thirty-four novel pyrazole-amide-isothiazole compounds were designed, synthesised by using scaffold hopping theory for the first time. The bioactivity of all the target compounds against five plant pathogens (Including Penicillium digitatum, Physalospora piricola, Helminthosporium maydis, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea) were determined, the results showed that most of the compounds exhibited certain biological activities against B. cinerea in vitro.

The influence of message frame and product type on green consumer purchase decisions : an ERPs study.

Green consumption is a crucial pathway towards achieving global sustainability goals. Product-oriented green advertisements can effectively stimulate consumers' latent needs and convert them into eventual purchasing intentions and behaviors, thereby promoting green consumption. Given that neuromarketing methods facilitate the understanding of consumers' decision-making processes, this study combines prospect theory and need fulfillment theory, employing event-related potentials (ERPs) as measures to explore changes in consumers' cognitive resources and emotional arousal levels when confronted with green products and advertising information.

Adequate Vegetable Intake Improves Metabolic Indices in Healthy Japanese Participants: A Randomized Crossover Study.

Aim: We aimed to elucidate the effect of a healthy diet containing adequate amounts of protein and vegetables on metabolic indices.

Methods: In this randomized crossover study, twenty-two healthy Japanese participants ingested two different test meals: fish diet (F) or fish diet with adequate vegetable content (FV). Each 5-day diet load test was separated by a washout period of at least seven days.
