Ginsenosides, salidroside, and syringin complex exhibits anti-fatigue in exhaustive exercise rats.

Excessive exercise can lead to fatigue, consequently affect exercise performance, and further have an adverse impact to human health. The synergistic effects of ginsenosides, salidroside, and syringin on improving exercise performance remain unknown. Hence, the effects of Chinese herb powder (CHP) which consisted of bioactive compounds such as ginsenosides (Rg1, Re, and Rb1), salidroside, and syringin on exercise performance, energy metabolism, tissue damage, antioxidant activity, and inflammatory cytokine were investigated in exhaustive exercise rats.

Chameleon-inspired molecular imprinted polymer with bicolored states for visual and stable detection of diethylstilbestrol in water and food samples.

A novel biomimetic molecular imprinted polymer chip with fluorescence (FL) and structural (STR) states, inspired by color patterns of chameleon skin, is fabricated for detecting diethylstilbestrol (DES). The chip features a regularly structured, non-closed-packed (NCP) colloidal photonic crystal (CPC) lattice made monodisperse MIP spheres containing fluorescence poly ionic liquid (FPIL) pigments. The FL color originates from FPIL pigments and is further enhanced by the Purcell effect, while the STR color results from the periodic arrangement of the NCP CPC structure.

Photobiomodulation inhibits retinal degeneration in diabetic mice through modulation of stem cell mobilization and gene expression.

The number of people suffering from type 2 diabetes (DM2) is increasing and over 30 percent of DM2 patients will develop diabetic retinopathy (DR). Available therapeutic approaches for DR have their limitations. It is of great significance to search for other effective alternate therapeutic approaches.

Controlled Heterovalent Vanadium Ion Coordinated Flower-Shaped Supramolecules Cathode for Zinc-Ion Storage.

Vanadium-based materials, which offer multiple oxidation states and rich redox reactions in zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), have gained substantial attention. However, achieving green and efficient preparation of vanadium oxides-based materials featured with a controlled content of different heterovalent vanadium remains a significant challenge. Herein, a vanadium-supramolecular flower-shaped material (VSF) with heterovalent vanadium was prepared using NHVO as vanadium metal center and hexamethylenetetramine as organic ligand in aqueous solution.

Optimization of dual-energy CT enterography parameters for the assessment of Crohn's disease activity: a retrospective study.

Purpose: Discuss the selection of imaging parameters in dual-energy CT enterography (DECTE) assessment for patients with Crohn's disease (CD) at different activity levels.

Method: This study analyzed data from 55 CD patients who had DECTE and endoscopy from 2020 to 2022. Patients were divided into moderate-severe (Crohn's Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity (CDEIS) ≥ 10) and remission-mild (CDEIS < 10) groups.

Tuberculous Spondylitis and Paravertebral Abscess Formation Following Vertebroplasty: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Tuberculous spondylitis following percutaneous vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty is rare. In this, we report a rare case of tuberculous spondylitis diagnosed after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). A 69-year-old female sought came to our department with a history of chest and back pain from the last two months accompanied by weakness in both lower limbs.

High-fidelity surface reconstruction using complementary colorimetry-encoded fringe projection profilometry.

To solve the challenging issue of uneven reflectance of high-fidelity surface, this paper proposes a three-dimensional (3D) shape measurement method based on surface adaptation complementary colorimetry-encoded fringe projection profilometry. A complete complementary hue extraction method simulates the retina stimulation to establish the complementary conversion relationship between the projected and collected colors of the measurement system. On this basis, a surface reflectance adaptation fringe pattern encoding strategy is proposed to measure the high-fidelity surfaces.

Tumor-associated antigen prediction using a single-sample gene expression state inference algorithm.

We developed a Bayesian-based algorithm to infer gene expression states in individual samples and incorporated it into a workflow to identify tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) across 33 cancer types using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Our analysis identified 212 candidate TAAs, with 78 validated in independent RNA-seq datasets spanning seven cancer types. Eighteen of these TAAs were further corroborated by proteomics data, including 10 linked to liver cancer.

Detecting the phase transitions of tert-butanol hydrate by terahertz spectroscopy.

The co-solvent system of tert-butanol and water is commonly employed in the field of freeze-drying pharmaceuticals. Investigating the phase composition and behavior of this system at low temperatures contributes to furthering its applications. In this study, THz-TDS was used to investigate the melting process of the frozen tert-butanol-water binary system for the first time.

Long-term trends analysis of the incidence and mortality in patients with ovarian cancer: a large sample study based on SEER database.

Background: To analyze long-term trends of the incidence and mortality of ovarian cancer in the United States.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2000 and 2017. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to analyze the incidence and mortality trend, and the changes were reported as average annual percentage change (AAPC) with a 95% confidence interval (CI).

Biomarker identification and risk assessment of cardiovascular disease based on untargeted metabolomics and machine learning.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality, disability, and healthcare costs, with a significant impact on the elderly and contributing to premature deaths across various age groups, including those below age 70. Despite decades of transformative discoveries and clinical efforts, the challenges of diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of CVD persist on a massive scale. This study aimed to unravel potential CVD-associated biomarkers and establish a machine learning model for the risk assessment of CVD.

CORO1C Regulates the Malignant Biological Behavior of Ovarian Cancer Cells and Modulates the mRNA Expression Profile through the PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a frequently occurring gynecological tumor, and its global incidence has recently increased. Coronin-like actin-binding protein 1C (CORO1C) is known to activate the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (AKT) pathway and promote tumor progression. However, its role in OC remains unclear.

Exogenous γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) enhances rye () seedling resistance to combined freeze-thaw and cadmium stress.

Crack-Deflecting Lattice Metamaterials Inspired by Precipitation Hardening.

Lattice structures, comprising nodes and struts arranged in an array, are renowned for their lightweight and unique mechanical deformation characteristics. Previous studies on lattice structures have revealed that failure often originates from stress concentration points and spreads throughout the material. This results in collapse failure, similar to the accumulation of damage at defects in metallic crystals.

Donor polarization engineering of conjugated microporous polymers to boost exciton dissociation for photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline.

The misuse and inevitable release of antibiotics can cause significant harm to both human health and the environment, and the use of polymeric semiconductors for photodegradation of antibiotics in aqueous environments is one of the most effective strategies to alleviate the current dilemma. Nevertheless, the inherently high exciton binding energy (E) and low photogenerated carrier transfer efficiency for most photocatalysts results in unsatisfactory photodegradation performance. Hence, this work proposes a donor polarization strategy to regulate the exciton dissociation of conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) by minimizing their E.
