This research utilized a compensatory growth phenomenon aimed at reducing the use of fishmeal in aquatic animal feed. However, the compensatory growth triggered by fishmeal restriction with novel protein replacement has yet to be understood. Five isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets containing different proteins were manufactured, with fishmeal serving as the control and diets containing novel proteins, i.

Methods: We performed a bioinformatics analysis of ENO1. HCC cells overexpressing ENO1 were developed by lentivirus transfection.
This study aims to explore the risk factors for carotid plaque (CP) and carotid common artery intima-media thickening (CCAIMT) and clarify the relationship between the risk factors with the number of CPs and the side of CCAIMT in a high-stroke-risk population in Qujing, Yunnan, China. Carotid ultrasonography was performed in 430 participants with high stroke risk, who were divided into different groups according to their ultrasound results. The risk factors and blood biochemical indices were recorded for assessment.

Ischemic stroke often leads to cognitive dysfunction, which delays the recovery process of patients. However, its pathogenesis is not yet clear. In this study, the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model was built as the experimental object, and the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) was the target brain area.

Background: The Onyx™ Liquid Embolic System is a non-adhesive liquid embolic agent, which has been proved by the US FDA for embolization of lesions in the peripheral and neurovasculature since 2005. We reported a case of ischemic optic neuropathy after using Onyx-18 to embolize the anterior ethmoid arteries that feeding dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF).
Case Presentation: A 57-year-old Asian male presented with anterior cranial fossa DAVF underwent embolotherapy by delivering Onyx-18 through a microcatheter into the anterior ethmoid arteries under angiography guidance.
Introduction: Ischemic stroke (IS) is a global health concern, often tied to dyslipidemia and vascular endothelial dysfunction. MicroRNA-34a (miR-34a) was reported to be up-regulated in the blood samples of patients with IS, but the specific role of miR-34a and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) in IS remains to be elucidated.
Methods: We studied 143 subjects: 71 IS patients, and 72 healthy controls.
As global environmental challenges intensify, manufacturing firms face increasing pressure to innovate sustainably. Green innovation, characterized by the development of environmentally friendly products, processes, and technologies, has become essential for firms striving to remain competitive. This study aims to investigate the influence of key factors-green logistics, green finance, and green technology-on green innovation within manufacturing firms, while exploring the mediating role of green technology in these relationships.

This study aims to investigate signature genes related to maternal obesity and fetal programming based on a genomic-wide transcriptional placental study using a combination of different bioinformatics tools.
Methods: The dataset (GSE128381) was obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO).
In order to evaluate the effects of the interaction between different proteins and feeding frequency on largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) and to provide scientific guidance for the application of novel proteins and the corresponding optimal feeding strategy, a two-factorial design (5 × 3) with five protein feeds (fishmeal (FM), Clostridium autoethanogenum protein (CAP), Tenebrio molitor (TM), Chlorella meal (ChM), cottonseed protein concentrate (CPC)), and three feeding frequency (1, 2, and 3 times/d; FF1, FF2, FF3) was designed in culturing largemouth bass (initial weight, 2.98 ± 0.22 g/fish) for 8 weeks.

Although treatments such as intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular interventions can substantially improve the outcomes for patients with acute ischemic stroke, only a small percentage of individuals benefit from these therapies. To advance our understanding of the disease and to discover more effective treatments, researchers are continuously developing and refining animal models.

Objectives: Investigating the impact of extreme temperature, relative humidity (RH), and laboratory testing parameters at admission on adverse events in CMM hospitalizations.
Designs: Time-stratified case-crossover design.
Electroactive organic electrode materials exhibit remarkable potential in aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their abundant availability, customizable structures, sustainability, and high reversibility. However, the research on AZIBs has predominantly concentrated on unraveling the storage mechanism of zinc cations, often neglecting the significance of anions in this regard. Herein, bipolar poly(thionine) is synthesized by a simple and efficient polymerization reaction, and the kinetics of different anions are investigated using poly(thionine) as the cathode of AZIBs.

Understanding the response of the injured brain to different transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) montages may help explain the variable tDCS treatment results on poststroke motor gains. Cortical connectivity has been found to reflect poststroke motor gains and cortical plasticity, but the changes in connectivity following tDCS remain unknown. We aimed to investigate the relationship between tDCS-induced changes in cortical connectivity and poststroke motor gains.

This study explored the effect of slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) treatment on the quality and antioxidant capacity of fresh red waxy corn during postharvest cold storage up to 40 d. The SAEW treatment exhibited lower weight loss, softer firmness, and higher total soluble solids (TSS) and moisture content than the control group.

ST-segment elevation due to right ventricular infarction induced by right coronary occlusion may extend from V1 to V3/V4, resembling the pattern of transmural ischemia of the anterior wall of the left ventricle. In addition, a wraparound left anterior descending (LAD) artery can produce ischemia manifesting as ST-segment elevation in the anterior and inferior leads.
