The protective effect of specific yolk antibody against nervous necrosis virus infection in Mandarin fish(Siniperca chuatsi).

Nervous necrosis virus (NNV), a member of the Nodavirus genus, is a highly contagious disease that is found all over the world. As of right now, there aren't many reliable commercial vaccines available to combat this infection. In a previous study, we isolated a Mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi)-derived NNV strain, tentatively named MFNNV.

Oral immunizations with Bacillus subtilis spores displaying VP19 protein provide protection against Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) infection in grouper.

Disease caused by Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) results in major economic losses in the global grouper aquaculture industry. Vaccination is considered to be the most effective way to protect grouper from SGIV. In this study, the spores of Bacillus subtilis (B.

Surface display of major capsid protein on Bacillus subtilis spores against largemouth bass virus (LMBV) for oral administration.

Largemouth bass virus (LMBV) infections resulting in enormous loss are becoming an increasing problem in the largemouth bass industry. Oral vaccination is considered to be an effective and economical measure because of the advantages of non-invasion, no size limitation, lower cost and easily-operated. Based on Bacillus subtilis (B.

ROCK inhibitor attenuates carbon blacks-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice via Rho/ROCK/NF-kappa B pathway.

Exposure to carbon blacks (CBs) has been associated with the progression of pulmonary fibrosis, whereas the mechanism is still not clear. We therefore aimed to investigate the effect of RhoA/ROCK pathway on pulmonary fibrosis caused by CBs exposure. Western blot analysis indicated that CBs could promote the activation of RhoA/ROCK pathway and phosphorylation of p65 and IκBα in mice lung.

Facile synthesis of hierarchical porous VOx@carbon composites for supercapacitors.

Hierarchical or micro-nano structured porous VOx@carbon composites were synthesized by a one-step method using phenolic resin as the carbon precursor and ammonium metavanadate as the source of vanadium oxides. The effects of the vanadium source loading on the microstructure and electrochemical properties of the composites were investigated. X-ray diffraction results showed that as the vanadium oxides source loading increased, vanadium oxides in the composites changed oxidation states from V2O3 to mixed states of V2O3 and VO2.
