Background: As an important global agricultural cash crop, melon has a long history of cultivation and a wide planting area. The physiological metabolism of melon after harvest is relatively strong; if not properly stored, melon is easily invaded by external pathogens during transportation, resulting in economic losses and greatly limiting its production, development and market supply. Therefore, the storage and freshness of melon are the main challenges in realizing the annual supply of melon, so postharvest storage has received increasing amounts of attention from researchers.

While traditional solutions for disposing of animal manure are limited by their time-consuming nature and inefficiency, the pyrolysis of animal manure into biochar is considered a promising disposal option, offering high-value benefits. However, there are few research studies on the physicochemical properties and potential utilization pathway of grub manure-derived biochar (GB) prepared at different temperatures. In this study, grub manure (GM) was pyrolyzed at 450, 600 and 750 °C, and the effect of pyrolysis temperature on the characteristics and applications of GB was illustrated.

As the negative repercussions of environmental devastation, such as air quality decline and air pollution, become more apparent, environmental consciousness is growing across the world, forcing nations to take steps to mitigate the damage. China pledged to achieve air quality improvement goal to combat global environment issue, yet the spatial-temporal differentiation and its driving factors of environment-meteorology-economic index for air quality are not fully analysed. To promote regional collaborative control of air pollution and achieve sustainable urban development, spatial and temporal different and its driving factors of air quality in Shandong Province during 2013-2020.

From the perspective of rubber/glass transition, this study clarified that the impact of dextran on retarding hardening behavior and slowing starch retrogradation of Chinese Steamed Bread (CSB) depended on its molecular weight and concentration level. Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB) model was fitted to explore critical behavior changes in rubber/glass transition of CSB. Incorporation of high molecular weight dextran enhanced the elasticity of dough and porosity of CSB, reduced the aging and hardening degree of CSB at appropriate addition levels.

This work clarified the positive effects of pullulan on dough structure and application properties varied with its molecular weight. Pullulan with different molecular weights were introduced into dough system to explore their intervention effects on structural and technological properties of dough as well as physical and digestion properties of biscuits. Results showed that HPL (pullulan with molecule weight of 100- 300 kDa) could increase the intermolecular collisions, prompt the protein aggregation and limit the water migration in dough system, resulting in an integrate, continuous and dense network structure of the gel with strengthened elasticity and weakened extensibility, which caused an increase in biscuit thickness, hardness and crispness.

Flexible and stretchable electronics have attractive applications inaccessible to conventional rigid electronics. However, the mainstream transfer printing techniques have challenges for electronic films in terms of thickness and size and limitations for target substrates in terms of curvature, depth, and interfacial adhesion. Here a facile, damage-free, and contamination-free soap film transfer printing technique is reported that enables the wrinkle-free transfer of ultrathin electronic films, precise alignment in a transparent manner, and conformal and adhesion-independent printing onto various substrates, including those too topographically and adhesively challenging by existing methods.

Athletes can also cause damage to some parts of their body during training, so specialized preparation activities should be carried out before athlete training to reduce the damage caused to the athlete's body, allowing the stressed parts to move and distribute the load. Excessive recovery has a significant effect on improving the performance level of the athletes studied and preventing sports injuries. This article studies the data analysis of body recovery and injury prevention in physical education teaching based on wearable devices.

Article Synopsis
  • - The research aimed to identify a pathogenic gene variant in a family with lacrimo-auriculo-dento-digital syndrome (LADD), focusing on congenital lacrimal duct dysplasia as the key clinical symptom.
  • - Using various methods like ophthalmological exams and whole exome sequencing (WES), researchers discovered a novel frameshift mutation in the gene NM_004465.1, affecting all six patients in the family, indicating autosomal dominant inheritance.
  • - This discovery not only confirmed the clinical diagnosis of LADD syndrome for the family but also provided grounds for better genetic counseling by expanding the understanding of the mutation in the gene involved.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the levels of amino acids and acylcarnitines in newborns of the Tibet Autonomous Region for the first time and to provide an experimental basis for the diagnosis of genetic metabolic diseases. We detected concentrations of 43 kinds of amino acids, acylcarnitines and succinylacetone in the dried blood spots of 18482 newborns using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and diagnose the case by gene sequencing. We compared the indexes between Tibet and our lab, where most data come from an inland area and Han Chinese people.

Efficient and durable electrocatalysts are highly desirable for overall water splitting. Herein, a facile strategy is demonstrated to rationally construct CoFe Prussian blue analogues (PBA)@CoP cube-on-sheet hierarchical structure by etching reaction with intermediated CoO to form PBA nanocubes. Benefitting from the heterostructured engineering, the as-synthesized CoFe PBA@CoP presents remarkable electrocatalytic performance in 1.

Herein, C,N co-doped porous TiO2 hollow sphere visible light photocatalysts were fabricated using biocompatible N-lauroyl-l-glutamic acid as a doped precursor and soft-template by a mild and facile self-assembly soft-template method, followed by calcination at 550 °C in air. The structure, morphology, and surface elemental composition were characterized in detail by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that the prepared TiO2 photocatalysts have a porous hollow sphere structure and are co-doped with C and N.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs of 21-23 nucleotides that play important roles in virtually all biological pathways in mammals and in other multicellular organisms. miR-23a and miR-23b (miR-23a/b) are critical oncomiRs (miRNAs that are associated with human cancers) of gastric cancer, but their detailed roles in the initiation and progression of gastric cancer remain to be elucidated. In this study, we found that miR-23a/b were consistently upregulated in gastric cancer tissues.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers studied the role of plasma microRNAs (miRNAs) in diagnosing cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis (CP-TB) compared to non-cavitary patients and healthy controls using samples from 89 CP-TB patients, 89 NCP-TB patients, and 95 healthy individuals.
  • The study employed high-throughput sequencing and quantitative RT-PCR to identify 29 differentially expressed miRNAs, specifically validating miR-769-5p, miR-320a, and miR-22-3p as key indicators in distinguishing TB patients from healthy controls.
  • Results indicated that these miRNAs showed strong potential as blood-based biomarkers, with miR-320a also suggested as a marker for drug-resistant TB, highlighting
