[Establishment and Effective Evaluation of Haikou Ozone Concentration Statistical Prediction Model].

This study selected 15 key predictors of the maximum of 8-hour averaged ozone (O) concentration (O-8h), using the O concentration of Haikou and ERA5 reanalysis data from 2015 to 2020, and constructed a multiple linear regression (MLR) model, support vector machine (SVM) model, and BP neural network (BPNN) model, to predict and test the O-8h concentration of Haikou in 2021. The results showed that the absolute value of correlation coefficients between the O-8h and related key prediction factors was mainly among 0.2 and 0.

The active ingredients in Chinese peony pods synergize with antibiotics to inhibit MRSA growth and biofilm formation.

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a zoonotic pathogen that infects both humans and animals. The rapid spread of methicillin-resistant S.

In situ, synthesis of chitosan fabricated tellurium nanoparticles for improved antimicrobial and anticancer applications.

The emergence of antibiotic resistance has had a severe impact on human health and economic burdens, drawing attention to the development of novel antimicrobial therapies. Polymer-metal composites have shown evidence of therapeutic applications by exerting antimicrobial effects and delivering these antimicrobials with biocompatibility. Therefore, this study prepared and characterized chitosan (CS)-fabricated tellurium nanoparticles (Te NPs) for enhanced antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxicity applications.

PLCD3, a flotillin2-interacting protein, is involved in proliferation, migration and invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.

Phospholipase C (PLC) is a pivotal enzyme in the phosphoinositide pathway that promotes the second messengers, diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), to participate in eukaryotic signal transduction. Several PLC isozymes are associated with cancer, such as PLC-β1, PLC-δ1, PLC-ε and PLC-γ1. However, the role of PLC-δ3 (PLCD3) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has not been investigated to date.

Embryotoxicity estimation of commonly used compounds with embryonic stem cell test.

The embryonic stem cell test (EST), an alternative model to animal studies, is a reliable and scientifically validated in vitro system for testing embryotoxicity. In contrast to most in vivo animal tests, two permanent cell lines, murine fibroblasts (BALB/c‑3T3 cells) and murine embryonic stem cells (mES‑D3 cells), are used in EST instead of animals in standard tests of toxicity. The embryotoxic potential of compounds (non, weak or strong embryotoxicity) may be obtained with a biostatistics‑based prediction model and calculated from three different experimental endpoint values: The potency to inhibit growth of i) BALB/c‑3T3 cells and ii) mES‑D3 cells (IC503T3 and IC50ES) as presented using a cell cytotoxicity assay, and iii) the potency to inhibit differentiation of mES‑D3 cells into contracting cardiomyocytes (ID50 D3) as demonstrated in a mES‑D3 cell differentiation assay.

High-Efficient Transfection of Human Embryonic Stem Cells by Single-Cell Plating and Starvation.

Nowadays, the low efficiency of small interfering RNA (siRNA) or plasmid DNA (pDNA) transfection is a critical issue in genetic manipulation of human embryonic stem (hES) cells. Development of an efficient transfection method for delivery of siRNAs and plasmids into hES cells becomes more and more imperative. In this study, we tried to modify the traditional transfection protocol by introducing two crucial processes, single-cell plating and starvation, to increase the transfection efficiency in hES cells.
