Effects of Vitamin C on the Gonad Growth, Texture Traits, Collagen Content and Synthesis Related Gene Expression of Sea Urchin ().

The market value of sea urchin gonads is determined by the specific characteristics associated with gonad size and texture. Formulated feeds can effectively promote the gonad growth of sea urchins but cannot assure essential gonad texture traits. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of vitamin C (VC) on the gonad growth, texture, collagen content, and the expression of genes involved in the collagen synthesis of sea urchins ().

B4 suppresses lymphoma progression by inhibiting fibroblast growth factor binding protein 1 through intrinsic apoptosis.

Lymphoma positions as the fifth most common cancer, in the world, reporting remarkable deaths every year. Several promising strategies to counter this disease recently include utilizing small molecules that specifically target the lymphoma cellular proteins to overwhelm its progression. FGFBP1 is a soluble intracellular protein that progresses cancer cell proliferation and is upregulated in several cancers.

An Investigation on the Effects of Dietary Vitamin E on Juvenile Sea Urchin (): Growth, Intestinal Microbiota, Immune Response, and Related Gene Expression.

A 90 d feeding experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of vitamin E (VE) on growth, intestinal microbiota, immune response, and related gene expression of juvenile sea urchin (). Six dry feeds were made to contain graded levels of VE (78, 105, 152, 235, 302, and 390 mg/kg); these were named E78, E105, E152, E235, E302, and E390, respectively. Dry feed E50 and fresh kelp (HD) were used as the control diets.

Effects of Supplementary Kelp Feeding on the Growth, Gonad Yield, and Nutritional and Organoleptic Quality of Subadult Sea Urchin () with Soya Lecithin Intake History.

A 23-week feeding experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of supplementary kelp feeding on the growth, gonad development, and nutritional and sensory properties of sea urchin () with soya lecithin (SL) intake history. The feeding experiment was divided into experimental phase I and phase II. During phase I, 48 subadult sea urchins (initial weight: 6.

Stilbene B10 induces apoptosis and tumor suppression in lymphoid Raji cells by BTK-mediated regulation of the KRAS/HDAC1/EP300/PEBP1 axis.

Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphoid cells that originated in matured B or T cells. The bioactive natural compounds can efficiently treat this disease with lesser side effects. Thus, in this study, a natural stilbene B10 (3-methoxy 5-hydroxy stilbene) isolated from Cajanus cajan (Pigeon Pea) was screened for its anti-proliferative efficacy against 13 cancer cell lines.

Identification of the Best Anthropometric Index for Predicting the 10-Year Cardiovascular Disease in Southwest China: A Large Single-Center, Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: This population-based cross-sectional study aimed to identify the best predictor of the 10-year cardiovascular (CV) high risk among old and new anthropometric indices.

Methods: We investigated 76,915 adults older than 18 years of age living in southwest China. Ten obesity indices were calculated.

Clinical significance of the serum IgM and IgG to SARS-CoV-2 in coronavirus disease-2019.

Objective: To explore the clinical value of serum IgM and IgG to SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19.

Methods: 105 COVID-19 patients were enrolled as the disease group. 197 non-COVID-19 patients served as the control group.

Electrochemical competitive immunodetection of messenger RNA modified with N6-methyladenosine by using DNA-modified mesoporous PtCo nanospheres.

N-Methyladenosine (mA) is the most abundant RNA modification in eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA). A highly sensitive electrochemical immunosensor is described for the determination of mA-RNA. The method is based on the use of antibody (anti-mA) and PtCo mesoporous nanospheres (MPNs).

A novel enzyme-free electrochemical biosensor for rapid detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa based on high catalytic Cu-ZrMOF and conductive Super P.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is one of the most intractable multidrug-resistant bacteria of nosocomial infections. The conventional detection methods for P.

Voltammetric immunoassay for Mycobacterium tuberculosis secretory protein MPT64 based on a synergistic amplification strategy using rolling circle amplification and a gold electrode modified with graphene oxide, FeO and Pt nanoparticles.

The authors describe an electrochemical immunoassay for ultrasensitive determination of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb) secretory protein MPT64 which is an antigen for early diagnosis of infection with MTb. Protein G was used to immobilize antibodies against MPT64 on a gold electrode. Graphene oxide with its large surface area was used as a carrier to anchor magnetite (FeO) and platinum (Pt) nanoparticles.
