A revision of Chinese endemic Neptis hesione Leech, 1890 with a new species described from Hainan Island (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae).

The taxonomic status of subspecies belonging to Neptis hesione Leech, 1890 is reviewed. The population from Taiwan Island, once regarded as a subspecies of N. hesione, is treated as an independent species based on morphological and genetic distinctions, i.

Reexamination of the taxonomic status of Coladenia agni (de Nicéville, [1884]) from Hainan, China reveals a new subspecies (Lepidoptera, Hesperiidae).

By reexamining the taxonomic status of Coladenia agni (de Nicéville, [1884]) from different localities, the insular population from Hainan Island is described as a new subspecies, i.e., C.

Muscone restores anoikis sensitivity in TMZ-resistant glioblastoma cells by suppressing TOP2A via the EGFR/Integrin β1/FAK signaling pathway.

Background: Temozolomide (TMZ) resistance is the main obstacle faced by glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) treatment. Muscone, one of the primary active pharmacological ingredients of Shexiang (Moschus), can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and is being investigated as an antineoplastic medication. However, muscone treatment for GBM has received little research, and its possible mechanisms are still unclear.

A new species of the genus Celaenorrhinus Hbner, [1819] from Hainan, China (Lepidoptera, Hesperiidae).

A new species, Celaenorrhinus qianhanae Li & Liu sp. nov., is described from Hainan, China.

A new subspecies of Aporia procris Leech, 1890 hidden in Sichuan, China (Lepidoptera, Pieridae).

Further information on the distribution of Aporia procris Leech, 1890 is provided. The population of A. procris from the upper Dadu River, W.

Benefits of using Double-Ovsynch versus presynch-ovsynch are affected by environmental heat in primiparous holstein lactating cows.

Optimized reproduction management enhances fertility of dairy cows, and thus improves their milk production efficiency. Comparing different synchronization protocols under variable ambient conditions would be conducive to protocol selection and production efficiency improvement. Here, 9538 primiparous Holstein lactating cows were enrolled to either Double-Ovsynch (DO) or Presynch-Ovsynch (PO) to determine the outcomes under different ambiences.

Notes on Stibochiona nicea (Gray, 1846) from China with description of a new subspecies from Hainan Island (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae).

New information of Stibochiona nicea is presented. Stibochiona nicea wangyukunae ssp. nov.

Novel Insight Into the Role of Gene in Milk Production Traits in Buffalo.

Understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying milk production traits contribute to improving the production potential of dairy animals. Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 1 (ACSL1) plays a key role in fatty acid metabolism and was highly expressed in the lactating mammary gland epithelial cells (MGECs). The objectives of the present study were to detect the polymorphisms within in Mediterranean buffalo, the genetic effects of these mutations on milk production traits, and understand the gene regulatory effects on MGECs.
