Alterations in maternal-fetal gut and amniotic fluid microbiota associated with fetal growth restriction.

Background: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is typically characterised as the fetus' inability to reach its inherent growth potential. A growing body of evidence points to the important role of the maternal gut microbiota in FGR development. However, comprehensive research on changes in maternal-fetal gut and intrauterine microbiota related to FGR is lacking.

Polyacrylamide Regulated Phytohormone Balance and Starch Degradation to Promote Seed-Potato Sprouting and Emergence.

Potatoes are typically seeded as tubers, and their slow sprouting significantly impacts production. Therefore, the effects of polyacrylamide (20 g·L, 30 g·L, and 40 g·L) as a seed potato dressing on sprouting, seedling growth, and biomass were investigated. The phytohormone content, respiratory intensity, and starch metabolism enzyme activity were analyzed to elucidate the physiological mechanisms involved.

Evidence for sustainably reducing secondary pollutants in a typical industrial city in China: Co-benefit from controlling sources with high reduction potential beyond industrial process.

Under China's strict industrial control measures, the reduction of secondary pollutants (O and secondary organic aerosols [SOA]) and precursors (volatile organic compounds [VOCs] and NOx) caused by industrial processes has encountered bottlenecks. In this study, the net O formation rate (Net [O]) in summer and the self-reaction rate between peroxy radicals (Self-Rnxs) in winter are used to characterize the formation potentials of O and SOA, respectively. Assuming that the precursor reduction ratio based on emission inventories is approximately equal to that based on observed concentrations, this study combines emission inventory and observation-based model (OBM) methods to indicate the potential source of secondary pollutants reduction.

The impact of micropolymorphism in Anpl-UAA on structural stability and peptide presentation.

Micropolymorphism significantly shapes the peptide-binding characteristics of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules, affecting the host's resistance to pathogens, which is particularly pronounced in avian species displaying the "minimal essential MHC" expression pattern. In this study, we compared two duck MHC-I alleles, Anpl-UAA*77 and Anpl-UAA*78, that exhibit markedly different peptide binding properties despite their high sequence homology. Through mutagenesis experiments and crystallographic analysis of complexes with the influenza virus-derived peptide AEAIIVAMV (AEV9), we identified a critical role for the residue at position 62 in regulating hydrogen-bonding interactions between the peptide backbone and the peptide-binding groove.

Association between Body Mass Index and Medication-Overuse Headache among Individuals with Migraine: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: Medication-overuse headache (MOH) is a secondary chronic headache disorder that occurs in individuals with a pre-existing primary headache disorder, particularly migraine disorder. Obesity is often combined with chronic daily headaches and is considered a risk factor for the transformation of episodic headaches into chronic headaches. However, the association between obesity and MOH among individuals with migraine has rarely been studied.
