Conference 2024: Building an innovative scientific research ecosystem for microbiome and One Health.

The Conference 2024 provides a platform to promote the development of an innovative scientific research ecosystem for microbiome and One Health. The four key components - Technology, Research (Biology), Academic journals, and Social media - form a synergistic ecosystem. Advanced technologies drive biological research, which generates novel insights that are disseminated through academic journals.

Micropeptide MPM regulates cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart growth via the AKT pathway.

The role of micropeptide in cardiomyocyte proliferation remains unknown. We found that MPM (micropeptide in mitochondria) was highly expressed in cardiomyocytes. Compared to MPM mice, MPM knockout (MPM) mice exhibited reduction in left ventricular (LV) mass, myocardial thickness and LV fractional shortening.

PINK1/Parkin pathway-mediated mitophagy by AS-IV to explore the molecular mechanism of muscle cell damage.

Background: Functional disorders of mitochondria are closely related to muscle diseases. Many studies have also shown that oxidative stress can stimulate the production of a large number of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have various adverse effects on mitochondria and can damage muscle cells.

Purpose: In this study, based on our previous research, we focused on the PINK1/Parkin pathway to explore the mechanism by which AS-IV alleviates muscle injury by inhibiting excessive mitophagy.

Bioaccessibility and Bioavailability of (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate in the Bread Matrix with Glycemic Reduction.

Bread has a high glycemic index (GI) and rich contents of quickly digestible carbohydrates, which is associated with insulin resistance and the risk of chronic diseases. (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is the primary catechin component that inhibits starch hydrolases, while the low release and absorption rates limit its utilization. In this study, EGCG was added to the bread matrix for fortification to reduce its glycemic index compared to white bread.

Study on microbial community of "green-covering" and the effect of fortified autochthonous on the flavor components of light-aroma-type .

"Green-covering" (TQ), as one of , is a special fermentative starter (also known as in Chinese) that originated in southern China and is characterized by a layer of green mold covering () the surface and (sometimes) with a red heart. It plays a vital role in producing light-aroma-type (LATB). However, to date, the microbiota that causes red heart of TQ remain largely unexplored, and it is still unclear how these microbiota influence on the quality of LATB.

Qiangji Jianli Decoction Alleviates Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction via Regulating Mitochondrial Dynamics and Biogenesis in L6 Myoblasts.

Oxidative stress can cause the excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and has various adverse effects on muscular mitochondria. Qiangji Jianli decoction (QJJLD) is an effective traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that is widely applied to improve muscle weakness, and it has active constituents that prevent mitochondrial dysfunction. To investigate the protective mechanism of QJJLD against hydrogen peroxide- (HO-) mediated mitochondrial dysfunction in L6 myoblasts.

Alterations in vaginal temperature during the estrous cycle in dairy cows detected by a new intravaginal device-a pilot study.

Estrus identification is important in dairy cow production. At present, estrus identification is automated with a pedometer or accelerometer and the results remain unsatisfactory. It was previously reported that body temperature changes during estrus.

Early pregnancy diagnoses based on physiological indexes of dairy cattle: a review.

With the development of standardization and scaling in the dairy farming industry, timely and accurate pregnancy diagnosis is required to improve the benefits of breeding by shortening the calving interval. However, the current pregnancy diagnostic methods cannot meet the requirements of the industry. Here, we review changes in the physiological indexes and in the function and morphological status of the reproductive organs of dairy cows at the early stages of pregnancy.

Ultrasound Treatment on Stability of Total and Individual Anthocyanin Extraction from Blueberry Pomace: Optimization and Comparison.

Blueberry pomace is abundant in anthocyanins. This work characterized the anthocyanins in blueberry pomace, discussed the stability of anthocyanins under ultrasound treatment, and compared the extraction conditions for different anthocyanin compositions. Thirteen anthocyanins were identified, and malvidin-3-galactoside (18.

Effects of heat stress on body temperature, milk production, and reproduction in dairy cows: a novel idea for monitoring and evaluation of heat stress — A review.

Heat stress exerts a substantial effect on dairy production. The temperature and humidity index (THI) is widely used to assess heat stress in dairy operations. Herein, we review the effects of high temperature and humidity on body temperature, feed intake, milk production, follicle development, estrous behavior, and pregnancy in dairy cows.

Chemical and Cellular Assays Combined with In Vitro Digestion to Determine the Antioxidant Activity of Flavonoids from Chinese Bayberry (Myrica rubra Sieb. et Zucc.) Leaves.

Oxidative stress is highly associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases and cancer and has drawn great attention. Natural products suggest a potential role in prevention of these disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and anti-cancer properties of Chinese bayberry leaves (Myrica rubra Sieb.
