The close association of Muribaculum and PA (10:0/a-17:0) with the occurrence of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and immunotherapy.

Background: Progress in immunotherapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has been slow, yet the relationship between microorganisms and metabolites is crucial to PDAC development. This study compares the biliary microbiota and metabolomic profiles of PDAC patients with those of benign pancreatic disease patients to investigate PDAC pathogenesis and its relationship with immunotherapy.

Methods: A total of 27 patients were recruited, including 15 diagnosed with PDAC and 12 with benign pancreaticobiliary conditions, all of whom underwent surgical treatment.

Bibliometric analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging studies on chronic pain over the past 20 years.

Purpose: The utilization of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in studying the mechanisms and treatment of chronic pain has gained significant popularity. However, there is currently a dearth of literature conducting bibliometric analysis on fMRI studies focused on chronic pain.

Methods: All the literature included in this study was obtained from the Science Citation Index Expanded of Web of Science Core Collection.

A candidate reference measurement procedure for quantification of glycocholic acid in human serum based on isotope dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Accurate measurement of serum glycocholic acid (GCA) is crucial for evaluating the activity of chronic hepatitis. Moreover, GCA is a novel identified biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma. Although some laboratories have used the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method to measure GCA in recent years, the problem of potential interference of GCA analogues has not been solved well yet.

The anthropocene biogeography of alien birds on islands: Drivers of their functional and phylogenetic diversities.

A branch of island biogeography has emerged to explain alien species diversity in the light of the biogeographic and anthropogenic context, yet overlooking the functional and phylogenetic facets. Evaluating alien and native birds of 407 oceanic islands worldwide, we built structural equation models to assess the direct and indirect influence of biotic, geographic, and anthropogenic contexts on alien functional diversity (FD) and phylogenetic diversity (PD). We found that alien taxonomic richness was the main predictor of both diversities.

Application of the adaptive Monte Carlo method for uncertainty evaluation in the determination of total testosterone in human serum by triple isotope dilution mass spectrometry.

The measurement uncertainty is a crucial quantitative parameter for assessing the reliability of the result. The study aimed to propose a new budget for uncertainty evaluation of a reference measurement procedure for the determination of total testosterone in human serum. The adaptive Monte Carlo method (aMCM) was used for the propagation of probability distributions assigned to various input quantities to determine the uncertainty of the testosterone concentration.

The Trends of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, and Systemic Immunoinflammatory Index in Patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Clinical Value in Predicting Pneumonia 30 Days After Surgery.

Microbially Induced Soil Colloidal Phosphorus Mobilization Under Anoxic Conditions.

Understanding the behavior of colloidal phosphorus (P) under anoxic conditions is pivotal for addressing soil phosphorus (P) mobilization and transport and its impact on nutrient cycling. Our study investigated P dynamics in acidic floodplain soil during a 30-day flooding event. The sudden oxic-to-anoxic shift led to a significant rise in pore-water P levels, which exceeded soluble P levels by more than 2.

Taming the terminological tempest in invasion science.

Standardised terminology in science is important for clarity of interpretation and communication. In invasion science - a dynamic and rapidly evolving discipline - the proliferation of technical terminology has lacked a standardised framework for its development. The result is a convoluted and inconsistent usage of terminology, with various discrepancies in descriptions of damage and interventions.

Background: Global aging is increasing; however, the epidemiologic characteristics of pancreatic cancer in older adults have not been systematically studied.

Methods: This study used data on pancreatic cancer in older adults from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 project. Temporal trends were measured using average annual percentage change and predicted using a Bayesian age-period-cohort model.

Time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay for Aspergillus detection based on anti-galactomannan monoclonal antibody from stable cell line.

Invasive Aspergillosis is a high-risk illness with a high death rate in immunocompromised people due to a lack of early detection and timely treatment. Based on immunology study, we achieved an efficient production of anti-galactomannan antibody by Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and applied it to time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay for Aspergillus galactomannan detection. We first introduced dual promoter expression vector into CHO host cells, and then applied a two-step screening strategy to screen the stable cell line by methionine sulfoximine pressurization.

Global freshwater fish invasion linked to the presence of closely related species.

In the Anthropocene, non-native freshwater fish introductions and translocations have occurred extensively worldwide. However, their global distribution patterns and the factors influencing their establishment remain poorly understood. We analyze a comprehensive database of 14953 freshwater fish species across 3119 river basins and identify global hotspots for exotic and translocated non-native fishes.

Global burden of non-optimal temperature attributable stroke: The long-term trends, population growth and aging effects.

Since the 20th century, the world has undergone climate change, population growth and population aging, which may result in alterations in the epidemiology of non-optimal temperature-associated strokes. We employed multiple methodologies and data from the global burden of disease 2019 to unveil the long-term curvilinear trends in strokes attributed to non-optimal temperature and the impact of aging and population growth on its changing epidemiology. From 1990 to 2019, the age-standardized DALYs rate (ASDR) of strokes attributable to low temperature had been decreasing, but from 2016, the continued downward trend in ASDR disappeared and began to remain stable.

Comparative analysis of climate-induced changes in distribution of representative fish species in the Yellow Sea.

Climate changes are posing remarkable impacts on marine fish and fisheries. Although many studies have addressed the distributional effects of climate change on single fish species or taxa in recent years, comparative studies focusing on different types of fish are still lacking. In this study, we applied dynamic bioclimate envelop models (DBEM), based on three earth system models, to predict sea surface and bottom temperature, as well as the spatial and temporal distribution of nine representative fishes in the Yellow Sea, contain two habitats, i.
