Investigation on parasite infection and anthelmintic resistance of gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep in Hinggan league (City), China.

Background: Different areas of sheep infected with different types of parasites, all will cause serious harm to the local sheep, and the widespread use and repeated use of anthelmintics have produced different degrees of anthelmintic resistance (AR) in various regions. We re-investigated the infection of common parasites and AR of Gastrointestinal Nematodes (GINs) in sheep in Horqin Right Wing Front Banner, and first investigated the common parasite types and AR of GINs in sheep at other four areas in Hinggan league (city), China.

Results: A total of 1770 fecal samples were collected from 1 prefecture-level city and 4 counties in Hinggan league, in which the infection rate of Coccidia ranged from 83.

Alterations of gut microbiota and metabolome are associated with primary nephrotic syndrome in children.

Background: Primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) is a common glomerular disease in children. Dysbiosis of gut microbiota acts as a cause of Treg abnormalities. However, the intestinal metabolic impact of PNS with children remains poorly understood.

GEFT inhibits the GSDM-mediated proptosis signalling pathway, promoting the progression and drug resistance of rhabdomyosarcoma.

The metastasis or recurrence of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the primary cause of tumour-related deaths. Patients with high-risk RMS have poor prognosis with a 5-year overall survival rate of 20-30%. The lack of specific drug-targeted therapy and chemotherapy resistance are the main reasons for treatment failure.

Diversified applications of hepatocellular carcinoma medications: molecular-targeted, immunotherapeutic, and combined approaches.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the primary forms of liver cancer and is currently the sixth most prevalent malignancy worldwide. In addition to surgical interventions, effective drug treatment is essential for treating HCC. With an increasing number of therapeutic drugs for liver cancer undergoing clinical studies, the therapeutic strategies for advanced HCC are more diverse than ever, leading to improved prospects for HCC patients.

Assessment of climatic and anthropogenic influences on vegetation dynamics in China: a consideration of climate time-lag and cumulative effects.

A case of metachronous triple primary carcinoma complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis: Case report and review.

Rationale: Multiple primary malignant neoplasms with tuberculosis are rare. The interaction between tuberculosis and tumor remains unclear. Moreover, the treatment of multiple primary tumors combined with tuberculosis is relatively complicated.

Management and nursing strategies for different patterns of adverse events in patients with urological cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Background: This study aimed to explore the patterns of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy or tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy and to summarize the corresponding management and nursing strategies.

Materials And Methods: A total of 69 patients with malignant urological tumors who received ICI treatment between June 2019 and October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and AEs that occurred during treatment were observed and reported. Based on the different types of treatment, the patients were divided into ICI monotherapy, ICI plus chemotherapy, and ICI plus TKI therapy groups.

Comparison of the Immunogenicity of the LZ901 Vaccine and HZ/su Vaccine in a Mouse Model.

Herpes zoster (HZ) is an infectious disease caused by the reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV), with 68% of cases occurring in adults over 50 years of age. HZ/su (Shingrix) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2017 for the prevention of HZ in individuals ≥ 50 years of age and showed very good protection from HZ. However, due to the use of the adjuvant AS01, adverse reactions caused by Shingrix are a concern.

Novel phenylpiperazine derivatives as potent transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 antagonists.

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a non-selective cation channel, which is considered a highly validated target for pain perception. Repeated activation with agonists to desensitize receptors or use the antagonists can both exert analgesic effects. In this work, two series of novel phenylpiperazine derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for the in vitro receptor inhibitory activity and in vivo analgesic activity.

Mendelian randomization study supports relative carbohydrate intake as an independent risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Objectives: Observational studies suggested a potential correlation between dietary intake and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but conflicting findings exist and causality remains unclear. Here, we performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to evaluate the causal impact of relative intake of (i) carbohydrate, (ii) fat, and (iii) protein on ALS risk.

Methods: The genome-wide association summary statistics of three dietary macronutrient intake traits and ALS were obtained.

CSF N-acylethanolamine acid amidase level and Parkinson's disease risk: A mendelian randomization study.

Background: Neuroinflammation is involved in the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD), and N-acylethanolamine acid amidase (NAAA) is involved in regulating inflammation by hydrolyzing bioactive lipid mediators called N-acylethanolamines (NAEs). However, the causal relationship between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) NAAA protein levels and the risk of PD remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the causal effect of CSF NAAA levels on PD risk through Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

Editing the nuclear localization signals of E1 and E1Lb enables the production of tropical soybean in temperate growing regions.

Soybean is a typical short-day crop, and most commercial soybean cultivars are restricted to a relatively narrow range of latitudes due to photoperiod sensitivity. Photoperiod sensitivity hinders the utilization of soybean germplasms across geographical regions. When grown in temperate regions, tropical soybean responds to prolonged day length by increasing the vegetative growth phase and delaying flowering and maturity, which often pushes the harvest window past the first frost date.

Evaluation of rural vitality and development types in mountainous areas of southwestern China: A case study of Wuxi County, Chongqing.

Protecting and stimulating rural vitality is a critical step towards driving rural revitalization and development; This study outlined the application of a measurement system that indexes rural vitality levels at the township scale and evaluates rural vitality in terms of potential regeneration, survivability, and development. This study combined the CRITIC weighting method, the TOPSIS pros and cons solution-distance method, and a vertical-horizontal comparison method to evaluate the rural vitality of 30 townships in Wuxi County, Chongqing.
