Compound Extract Inhibits -Induced Intestinal Inflammatory Response and Injury in Broiler Chickens by Modulating NLRP3 Inflammasome Signaling.

() is a critical disease affecting broiler health, with as its primary pathogen. compound extract (PHCE), formulated based on traditional Chinese veterinary principles, contains primarily flavonoids with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. However, PHCE's efficacy against -induced and its underlying mechanism remain unclear.

Propolis polyphenols: A review on the composition and anti-obesity mechanism of different types of propolis polyphenols.

Obesity, one of the most common nutritional diseases worldwide, can lead to dyslipidemia, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and inflammation. Some drugs have been developed to ameliorate obesity. However, these drugs may cause serious side effects.

Quality evaluation and geographical classification of immature rape and acacia honeys in China.

Background: To reflect and understand the real situation regarding immature honey, the quality parameters of 141 honey samples from different regions of China were evaluated. The possibility of classifying Chinese honey from different geographical origins was also considered.

Results: The results revealed that the values of diastase, sucrose, proline and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) met the international honey standard, although moisture, total glucose and fructose, and invertase content in most of the honey samples failed to meet the standards.

Examining the association between work-family conflict and the work attitudes of job satisfaction and organizational commitment among Chinese correctional staff.

Considerable empirical research has shown that work-family conflict has a negative effect on the job satisfaction and organizational commitment of United States correctional staff. This study is the first to examine the effect of work-family conflict on job satisfaction and organizational commitment for staff at Chinese prisons. Findings from ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analyses indicated that strain-based conflict, behavior-based conflict and family-on-work conflict had negative effects on the job satisfaction of Chinese prison staff.

Multifactor Prognostic Evaluation of Postoperative Craniopharyngiomas.

Purpose: To evaluate various factors that could be associated with the postoperative prognosis of patients with craniopharyngiomas and provide evidence for the proper surgical course and optimal outcome assessments of craniopharyngiomas.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study and reviewed 68 patients with craniopharyngiomas who received surgery from May 2013 to October 2018. The relationships between the disease prognosis and age, gender, onset symptoms, size of tumor, degree of calcification, consistency, QST classification, adhesion strength, and pathological types were analyzed.

Exploring the Association Between Work-Family Conflict and Job Involvement.

Past research among U.S. correctional staff has found that work-family conflict has negative outcomes such as decreasing job satisfaction, decreasing organizational commitment, and increasing job stress.

Intervening Paths From Strain to Delinquency Among High School and Vocational School Students in China.

Chinese education system comprises high schools and vocational school, and their differences on delinquency have seldom been investigated. From the perspective of general strain theory, the present study examined the differences among high school and vocational school students for delinquency, strain, and other explanatory variables. General strain theory delineates the effect of strain on delinquency or deviance and presents the paths from strain to delinquency or deviance through social control and social learning variables.

Knockdown of lncRNA-UCA1 inhibits cell viability and migration of human glioma cells by miR-193a-mediated downregulation of CDK6.

Background: Long noncoding RNA urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (lncRNA-UCA1) is generally recognized as an oncogenic molecule in several human malignant tumors. However, the available evidence does not necessarily imply an unequivocal causal function of UCA1 in glioblastoma. The current study was aimed to probe the biological function of lncRNA-UCA1 in human glioblastoma cell lines.

A Happy Life: Exploring How Job Stress, Job Involvement, and Job Satisfaction Are Related to the Life Satisfaction of Chinese Prison Staff.

Working in prisons is a demanding career. While a growing number of studies have explored the predictors of job stress, job involvement, and job satisfaction, very few studies have examined how job stress, job involvement, and job satisfaction effect prison staff life satisfaction. Moreover, past studies on prison staff life satisfaction have all been conducted among those working in the United States.

Life Stress, Strain, and Deviance Across Schools: Testing the Contextual Version of General Strain Theory in China.

General Strain Theory delineates different types of strain and intervening processes from strain to deviance and crime. In addition to explaining individual strain-crime relationship, a contextualized version of general strain theory, which is called the Macro General Strain Theory, has been used to analyze how aggregate variables influence aggregate and individual deviance and crime. Using a sample of 1,852 students (Level 1) nested in 52 schools (Level 2), the current study tests the Macro General Strain Theory using Chinese data.

An Exploratory Study of the Effects of Work Environment Variables on Job Satisfaction Among Chinese Prison Staff.

Job satisfaction has been linked to many positive outcomes, such as greater work performance, increased organizational commitment, reduced job burnout, decreased absenteeism, and lower turnover intent/turnover. A substantial body of research has examined how work environment variables are linked to job satisfaction among U.S.

Testing the Predictive Validity of the LSI-R Using a Sample of Young Male Offenders on Probation in Guangzhou, China.

This study explored the predictive validity of the Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R) with 112 young male probationers on recidivism for new offense and rearrest in Guangzhou, China, from 2010 to 2013. Using bivariate correlations, logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis, the LSI-R total score was found to be a stable and significant predictor of recidivism. The LSI-R total score and subscales of Criminal History and Leisure/Recreation were significantly correlated to recidivism.

Reliability and Validity of the Chinese Version of the LSI-R With Probationers.

The Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R) is an instrument used world-wide for offender risk/need assessment, and the predominant samples for the LSI-R literature were Caucasian participants. This study is the first attempt to examine the reliability and validity of a Chinese version of the LSI-R with 305 probationers (269 males, 36 females) in Guangzhou, China. Factor analysis was conducted using principal component analysis.

Exacerbation of autoimmune arthritis by copolymer-I through promoting type 1 immune response and autoantibody production.

Copolymer-I (COP-I) is an unique immune regulatory polymer that has been shown to suppress experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and is a treatment option for multiple sclerosis (MS). To investigate whether its immune suppressive effects can be extended to other autoimmune diseases, we treated mice with COP-I during the induction of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). Our results show that COP-I treatment exacerbated CIA, leading to faster onset, more severe and longer-lasting disease.

Effect of polysaccharides of cassiae seeds on the intestinal microflora of piglets.

The objective of this study was to examine if polysaccharides from Cassiae Seeds (PCS) can be used as prebiotics to improve the intestinal microflora of piglets with an in vitro and an in vivo trial. The in vitro trial was conducted to study the dose-response effect of PCS on the growth of E. coli 09 and Lactobacillus with traditional plate count method.

The 73-kDa heat shock cognate protein is a CXCR4 binding protein that regulates the receptor endocytosis and the receptor-mediated chemotaxis.

The CXCR4 chemokine receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor that plays an important role in leukocyte homing, cancer metastasis, and human immunodeficiency virus infection. In response to ligand stimulation, chemokine receptors undergo endocytosis through clathrin-coated vesicle (CCV). Uncoating of CCV, a process involving heat shock cognate protein and several other proteins, is critical for fusion of CCV to endosomal compartments.
