Purpose: To explore the protective effects and mechanisms of Jiawei Qifuyin on APP/PS1 mice, a model for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Methods: Network pharmacology tools were used to predict anti-AD targets and signaling pathways affected by Jiawei Qifuyin. In vitro studies assessed antioxidant and oxygen radical scavenging abilities, immune cell proliferation, and inflammatory cytokine levels in lipopolysaccharide-induced BV2 microglial cells.

Analysis of the Interrelation and Seasonal Variation Characteristics of the Spatial Niche of Dominant Fishery Species-A Case Study of the East China Sea.

The spatial niche has garnered significant attention in ecological research, particularly regarding species distribution patterns. The East China Sea, known for its favorable natural conditions and abundant fishery resources, exhibits diverse spatial distribution patterns among species, shaped by their seasonal physiological needs. This study utilized a habitat suitability index model to explore the spatial distribution patterns of key fishery resources in the East China Sea across four seasons and their interactions.

Protective effects of a probiotic-fermented germinated grain complex on neurotransmitters and sleep quality in sleep-deprived mice.

Objective: To explore the effects of probiotic fermentation products of germinated grains on cognitive and sleep improvement in mice with sleep deprivation induced by chlorophenylalanine (PCPA), and to provide theoretical and experimental basis for the development of natural products to alleviate insomnia.

Methods: ELISA and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used to determine the contents of γ-aminobutyric acid and L-theanine in fermentation products. Open Field Test was used to analyze the changes of emotional behavior between groups before and after intervention.

Tidal Variations of Fish Larvae Measured Using a 15-Day Continuous Ichthyoplankton Survey in Subei Shoal: Management Implications for the Red-Crowned Crane () Population in Yancheng Nature Reserve.

The National Yancheng Rare Birds Nature Reserve is a vitally important staging habitat for the wild population of red-crowned cranes () in China. The population relies on local high-protein food sources, such as fish juveniles, to fuel their migratory journeys. However, little is known about the ecology of the fish larvae and juveniles that migrate to the inshore area via tidal rhythm in Subei Shoal, which is adjacent to the reserve.

Shrimp community structure and influence of environmental variables in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea in spring.

Based on data collected from research vessel cruises performed in May 2020 off the East China Sea (ECS) and the southern Yellow Sea (YS) (26°30'-35°00' N, 120°30'-127°00' E), we analyzed the shrimp community and its relationships with environmental variables by using index of relative importance, biodiversity indices, and multivariate techniques. A total of 29 species were recorded, belonging to 11 families and 19 genera. The dominant species were , , , , , , and , which together accounted for 82.

Analyzing the Combined Effect of Multiple Environmental Factors on Fish Distribution, by Means of the Mixed Distribution-Decomposition Approach, as Illustrated by the East China Sea Hairtail.

An organism's habits are formed primarily as a result of environmental circumstances. Analyzing an organism's habits and examining their causes requires a thorough understanding of the peculiarities of an organism's living environments. Analyzing the environmental factors necessary for an organism's survival is a crucial component of studying how the environment and biology interact.

[Spatiotemporal distribution of in the southern Yellow Sea and East China Sea].

In order to investigate the temporal-spatial distribution of yellow goosefish in the open waters of the southern Yellow Sea (SYS) and East China Sea (ECS), according to the fishery data by bottom-trawl surveys and environmental data including sea bottom temperature (SBT), sea bottom salinity (SBS), bottom concentration of dissolved oxygen (BDO) and depth during 2018-2019, we established habitat suitability index (HSI) models by arithmetic mean (AMM) and geometric mean (GMM) methods, and compared the model outputs by cross validations. Especially, the weight of each environmental factor was evaluated by boosted regression tree (BRT). Results showed that the area with the highest habitat quality varied among seasons.

[Overwintering distribution and its environmental determinants of small yellow croaker based on ensemble habitat suitability modeling].

Small yellow croaker is a trans-boundary fish resource shared by China and South Korea. Information on the distribution and preferred habitats of overwintering populations is lacking, parti-cularly in southern waters of Yellow Sea where the species is regulated together by China and South Korea. We simulated the geographic distribution under current condition with eight species distribution models (SDM) based on the presence-absence data and five environmental variables.

Complete mitochondrial genome analysis of Japanese Spanish mackerel () with phylogenetic consideration.

The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Japanese Spanish mackerel () was cloned and sequenced. The total length of the mitochondrial genome is 16,646 bp with an accession number KY228987. Thirty-seven genes are identified in total, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and a putative D-loop region.

Isolation and characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Taenioides anguillaris (Gobiidae: Amblyopinae) with phylogenetic consideration.

Here we first isolated and characterized the complete mitochondrial genome DNA of Taenioides anguillaris. It was 16 974 bp in length, and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a putative control region. The structure and the gene arrangement of this genome were identical to those isolated from other Gobiidae fishes.

[Effect of stock abundance and environmental factors on the recruitment success of small yellow croaker in the East China Sea].

Multiple hypotheses are available to explain recruitment rate. Model selection methods can be used to identify the best model that supports a particular hypothesis. However, using a single model for estimating recruitment success is often inadequate for overexploited population because of high model uncertainty.

[Spatial heterogeneity in body condition of small yellow croaker in Yellow Sea and East China Sea based on mixed-effects model and quantile regression analysis].

By using the 2008-2010 investigation data about the body condition of small yellow croaker in the offshore waters of southern Yellow Sea (SYS), open waters of northern East China Sea (NECS), and offshore waters of middle East China Sea (MECS), this paper analyzed the spatial heterogeneity of body length-body mass of juvenile and adult small yellow croakers by the statistical approaches of mean regression model and quantile regression model. The results showed that the residual standard errors from the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and the linear mixed-effects model were similar, and those from the simple linear regression were the highest. For the juvenile small yellow croakers, their mean body mass in SYS and NECS estimated by the mixed-effects mean regression model was higher than the overall average mass across the three regions, while the mean body mass in MECS was below the overall average.

[Utilization and management of Trichiurus japonicus resources in East China Sea based on Beverton-Holt model].

In this paper, the population structure of Trichiurus japonicus in East China Sea was analyzed based on the data of its age composition and anus length in 2002-2004, and the rational utilization of T. japonicus resources in the Sea was approached by using the catch (in mass) per recruit theory of Beverton-Holt model. The results revealed that: (1) there was a miniaturization trend of the T.
