This study investigated the effects of Bisphenol A (BPA), a common endocrine-disrupting chemical, on the antioxidant enzyme activities in the hepatopancreas and the expression of genes related to ovarian development in oriental river prawns (Macrobrachium nipponense). The 24hLC50 and 48hLC50 values for BPA were 80.59 mg/L and 63.

Spiroplasma eriocheiris is one of the major pathogenic bacteria in crustaceans, featuring high infectivity, rapid transmission, and an absence of effective control strategies, resulting in significant economic losses to the aquaculture industry. Research into virulence-related factors provides an important perspective to clarify how Spiroplasma eriocheiris is pathogenic to shrimps and crabs. Therefore, in this study, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) technology was utilized to undertake a differential proteomic analysis of high- and low-virulence Spiroplasma eriocheiris strains at different growth phases.

This study aimed to develop a 5G + "mixed computing" + deep learning-based next-generation intelligent health-monitoring platform for an ethylene cracking furnace tube based on 5G communication technology, with the goal of improving the health management level of the key component of ethylene production, that is, the cracking furnace tube, and focusing on the key common technical difficulties of ethylene production of tube outer-surface temperature sensing and tube slagging diagnosis. It also integrated the edge-fog-cloud "mixed computing" technology and deep learning technology in artificial intelligence, which had a higher degree in the research and development of automation and intelligence, and was more versatile in an industrial environment. The platform included a 5G-based tube intelligent temperature-measuring device, a 5G-based intelligent peep door gearing, a 5G-based edge-fog-cloud collaboration mechanism, and a mixed deep learning-related application.

Background: The identification of specific epitopes targeted by the host antibody response is important for understanding the natural response to infection and for the development of epitope-based marker vaccines and diagnostic tools for toxoplasmosis. In this study, Toxoplasma gondii GRA4 epitopes were identified using software-based prediction and a synthetic peptide technique.

Methods: The complete GRA4 gene sequence was obtained from T.

We used the Illumina/Solexa deep sequencing technology to sequence two small RNA libraries prepared from hemocytes of Procambarus clarkii under normal and infection conditions. The high-throughput sequencing approach resulted in approximately 12,801,827 and 8,410,455 raw reads corresponding to 10,949,754 and 6,648,161 high-quality mappable reads for the normal and infected hemocyte samples, respectively. Bioinformatic analyses identified 195 unique miRNAs, including 30 that are conserved in crustaceans, 48 that are novel to crayfish but are present in other arthropods (PN-type), and 117 that are completely new (PC-type).

To investigate the interaction between Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis hemocytes and the pathogen Spiroplasma eriocheiris, a system for in vitro culture of E. sinensis hemocytes with high viability was developed. Following optimization of conditions, hemocytes survived for >35 days.

The Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis is one of the most important freshwater aquaculture crustacean species in China. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that are important effectors in the intricate host-pathogen interaction network. To increase the repertoire of miRNAs characterized in crustaceans and to examine the relationship between host miRNA expression and pathogen infection, we used the Illumina/Solexa deep sequencing technology to sequence two small RNA libraries prepared from haemocytes of E.

A motile bacterium, designated strain TDA-040725-5(T), was isolated from the haemolymph of a Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis, with tremor disease. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the strain was phylogenetically distinct from other spiroplasmas but was closely related to Spiroplasma mirum ATCC 29335(T). Cells of strain TDA-040725-5(T) were variable in length and shape, helical and motile, as determined by phase-contrast light microscopy.

Insulin-like growth factors are crucial in cellular growth, differentiation, and reproduction by mediating many of the actions of growth hormone in chickens. To determine whether insulin-like growth factors genes (IGFs) are associated with important economic traits in chicken or not, we herein analyzed the association between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within IGF1 and IGF2 and twenty-seven growth, body measurement, carcass, and reproduction traits in two Chinese native breeds, i.e.

Spiroplasma eriocheiris causes tremor disease (TD) of Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis, but little is known about the molecular characterization of this pathogen. The present study was undertaken to identify a unique gene of spiroplasma, spiralin-like protein (SLP25) and analyze its character. The full-length DNA of SLP25 is 699 bp encodes a protein of 232 amino acid residues.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in partial 5' regulatory region of the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene were studied by DNA sequencing in 60 pigs from the Wuzhishan, Diannan small-ear, Xiang, Meishan and Large White pig breeds. Thirteen SNP sites were detected, including one transversion at T6029A, 4 A<---->G transitions (A5976G, G13520A, G13563A and G13669A) and 8 C<---->T transitions (C5872T, C5888T, C6010T, C6037T, C6043T, C6063T,C6112T, C6164T). These 13 SNPs formed 23 composite genotypes.
