Laparoscopic exploration (LE) is crucial for diagnosing intra-abdominal metastasis (IAM) in advanced gastric cancer (GC). However, overlooking single, tiny, and occult IAM lesions during LE can severely affect the treatment and prognosis due to surgeons' visual misinterpretations. To address this, we developed the artificial intelligence laparoscopic exploration system (AiLES) to recognize IAM lesions with various metastatic extents and locations.

Bioimprinting combined with interfacial activation of lipase was investigated for obtaining imprinted lipase with excellent catalytic performance. Enzymatic synthesis of sucrose-6-acetate in organic solvents to test the performance of imprinted lipase immobilized by adsorbing on macroporous resin.

The daily applications of QACs have significantly increased, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the environmental residues of QACs have demonstrated harmful impacts on the environment, leading to an increase in environmental contamination, resistant microbes and disruption of microecology.

This study aimed to elucidate these effects by employing a carbon tetrachloride (CCl)-induced mouse model of liver fibrosis. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the effects of PSPA on liver injury, oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis-related signaling pathways.

Background: Long-distance road transportation is a common practice in the beef industry, frequently resulting in bovine respiratory disease (BRD) and compromised growth performance. However, a comprehensive investigation integrating clinical performance, physiological conditions, and nasopharyngeal microflora remains lacking.
Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the respiratory health and immunometabolic status of 54 beef calves subjected to a 3000-km journey.

Transportation, an unavoidable process in livestock farming, causes metabolic disorders in the body, which then lead to endocrine disruption, being immunocompromised, and growth suppression. Lipid metabolism dysregulation is a critical phenotype induced by transportation. The liver is a vital organ in lipid metabolism, with a role in both lipid synthesis and lipolysis.

This study aims to explore the effect and mechanism of forkhead box A1 (FOXA1) on vascular endothelial cell injury in sepsis. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Activation of transcriptional factor c-Myc promotes TEC proliferation following KI/R; however, the mechanism regarding c-Myc activation in TEC is incompletely known. Heat shock protein A12A (HSPA12A) is an atypic member of HSP70 family.

The theory calculation shows the S and T of both compounds own a charge-transfer feature while their T states have a local excitation feature. The calculated is one to 2 orders of magnitude larger than .

These proteins interact with each other to inject CagA into the host gastric epithelium. There are also individual unique functions that help interfere with host cellular pathways, modulate the immune response and colonize the host for a long time.
