Mesothelin expression prediction in pancreatic cancer based on multimodal stochastic configuration networks.

Predicting tumor biomarkers with high precision is essential for improving the diagnostic accuracy and developing more effective treatment strategies. This paper proposes a machine learning model that utilizes CT images and biopsy whole slide images (WSI) to classify mesothelin expression levels in pancreatic cancer. By combining multimodal learning and stochastic configuration networks, a radiopathomics mesothelin-prediction system named RPMSNet is developed.

The influence of valence and relationship on children's verification of gossip.

Given that children do not always trust gossip, do they spontaneously check what they are told? We provided 5- (N = 32) and 6-year olds (N = 32) with gossip concerning characters in a cartoon they were watching, and examined whether they verified the gossip by actively re-watching the relevant episodes. Six-year olds were more likely to verify gossip than 5-year olds. When gossip targeted their favourite characters, children were more likely to verify negative when compared with positive gossip.

Absorption, transportation, residual distribution of chiral C-dufulin in garlics and metabolism of its racemate.

Dufulin is a novel chiral plant antiviral agent. In this study, we investigated the uptake, translocation and accumulation of C-dufulin stereoisomers in different tissues of garlic via leaf introduction and root uptake. The behavior of dufulin enantiomers in plants is not stereoselective, and dufulin is more likely to be absorbed by leaves than by roots.

From cradle to grave: Deciphering sex-specific disruptions of the nervous and reproductive systems through interactions of 4-methylbenzylidene camphor and nanoplastics in adult zebrafish.

4-methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC) and micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) are common in personal care and cosmetic products (PCCPs) and consumer goods; however, they have become pervasive environmental contaminants. MNPs serve as carriers of 4-MBC in both PCCPs and the environment. Our previous study demonstrated that 4-MBC induces estrogenic effects in zebrafish larvae.

Endocrine disrupting effects of parabens in zebrafish (Danio rerio): New insights from transcriptomics, metabolomics, and molecular dynamics simulation.

Parabens (PBs), a group of widely used synthetic preservatives with potential endocrine disrupting activity, have been detected with increasing frequency in organisms and environmental matrices. This study assessed the hormone interference effects of four typical PBs, namely methylparaben (MeP), ethylparaben (EtP), propylparaben (PrP), and butylparaben (BuP), in zebrafish and elucidated the probable underlying mechanisms. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses showed that the differentially expressed genes and metabolites were associated with the tyrosine metabolism, arachidonate metabolism, and glycerophospholipid metabolism, indicating they were essential precursors of steroid hormone biosynthesis and metabolism.

Comprehensive lipidomic analysis revealed the effects of fermented Morus alba L. intake on lipid profile in backfat and muscle tissue of Yuxi black pigs.

Mulberry leaf is a widely used protein feed and is often used as a strategy to reduce feed costs and improve meat quality in the livestock industry. However, to date, there is a lack of research on the improvement of meat quality using mulberry leaves, and the exact mechanisms are not yet known. The results showed that fermented mulberry leaves significantly reduced backfat content but had no significant effect on intramuscular fat (IMF).

Comparative analysis of the metabolites and biotransformation pathways of fentanyl in the liver and brain of zebrafish.

The rise of fentanyl has introduced significant new challenges to public health. To improve the examination and identification of biological samples in cases of fentanyl misuse and fatalities, this study utilized a zebrafish animal model to conduct a comparative investigation of the metabolites and biotransformation pathways of fentanyl in the zebrafish's liver and brain.
