Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is an important zoonotic pathogenic virus, which poses serious threats to public health. MPXV infection can be prevented by immunization against the variola virus. Because of the safety risks and side effects of vaccination with live vaccinia virus (VACV) strain Tian Tan (VTT), we constructed two gene-deleted VTT recombinants (TTVAC7 and TTVC5).

Enhancing the passivation of heavy metals and increasing organic matter content during the composting of sewage sludge poses significant challenges for maximizing its utilization value. Results indicated that in the control, biochar, microbial agents and microbial agents-loaded biochar (BCLMA) groups, BCLMA addition led to a higher composting temperature, with increases of 17-62% in humic acid, 25-73% in germination index, and 30-35% in organic matter consumption. And the residual fraction of Cu, Zn, Cr and Cd were increased by 30%, 12%, 22% and 17%, respectively.

Antigen uptake, processing, and presentation are crucial for the immune responses of protein-based vaccines. Herein, we introduced a reversible chemical cross-linking strategy to engineer protein antigens, which can be tracelessly removed upon antigen-presenting cell (APC) uptake and cellular reduction. The chemically cross-linked antigen proteins presented significantly enhanced uptake and epitope presentation by APC.

The growth curve is a vital instrument for assessing and forecasting weight and developmental shifts in livestock and poultry, which reflects the changes of bodyweight traits with time and plays a key role in guiding breeding and production approaches. This study performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for growth curve parameters generated by nonlinear models which fit original weight-age records, to discover the SNPs and candidate genes correlated with growth traits. Data from 362 Chinese Wenshang Barred Chickens weighed at the age of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 weeks were used to fit the Gompertz, Logistic, and von Bertalanffy growth models.

Food allergens are the key triggers of allergic diarrhea, causing damage to the immune-rich ileum. This weakens the mucosal barrier and tight junctions, increases intestinal permeability, and exacerbates allergen exposure, thereby worsening the condition. Sesamin, a natural lignan isolated from sesame seed, has shown potential in regulating immune responses, but its effects on intestinal health remain unclear.

The impact of the living environments on the intestinal microbiota of was studied by analyzing intestinal microbiota diversity, composition, and potential function among wild, domesticated, and cultured groups. The results showed that the fish living in the wild environment exhibited the highest alpha diversity of intestinal microbiota. Intestinal microbial communities in the three groups clustered by living environment, with domesticated and cultured groups showing higher similarity.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the effects of sinomenine hydrochloride (SH) on colitis induced by DSS in mice, focusing on the Notch signaling pathway.
  • Mice were divided into four groups and assessed for disease activity, mucosal injury, and histopathological changes, revealing that SH significantly alleviated colitis symptoms and reduced inflammation markers.
  • Results indicated that SH treatment lowered the expression of key proteins in the Notch signaling pathway and reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines, suggesting that its therapeutic effect is linked to inhibiting Notch pathway overactivation.

Hepatic lipid metabolism dysfunction caused by cyanobacteria bloom-released microcystin-LR (MC-LR) contributes to the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), thereby severely impacting the health and safety of animals and humans. In this study, the effects and mechanisms of different environmental concentrations of MC-LR (0, 0.1, 1, and 10 μg/L) on fatty liver metabolic disease in zebrafish were investigated using in vivo, in vitro, and in silico models.

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes with highly hydrophilic and antifouling properties are desirable for oily wastewater treatment. Herein, we report (1) a strategy of bulk modification of PVDF by integration of PVDF and a particle-based double-network (PDN) hydrogel, poly-2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate/polyacrylamide (PAMPS/PAAm), via a strong PDN and PVDF interpenetrating polymer network (PDN-PVDF IPN) to obtain a PVDF/PDN solution and (2) the subsequent casting of it into a microfiltration membrane via spray-assisted non-solvent-induced phase separation (SANIPS). The IPN structure modulates the surface segregation behavior of the highly hydrophilic and robust PDN hydrogel in the process of SANIPS, endowing the resulting PVDF/PDN membrane with excellent bulk mechanical properties and much enhanced wettability and thereby high oil/water emulsion separation efficiency and antifouling performance.

  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common and serious issue in infants and toddlers, often resulting from falls or traffic incidents; due to ethical constraints, piglet heads are used in place of human children for research purposes.* -
  • A detailed finite element (FE) model of a 4-week-old piglet head was created to study its mechanical properties and validate the model through various tests, including quasi-static compression and dynamic impact tests.* -
  • The simulation results demonstrated high accuracy, with average errors of 12.9% for contact force and 8.9% for intracranial pressure, indicating that the piglet head model is reliable for predicting the effects of TBI.*

: Ferroptosis in lung epithelium and endothelium contributes to the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a critical and often fatal condition marked by acute inflammation and elevated pulmonary vascular permeability. Despite this, there are currently no FDA-approved therapeutics specifically targeting ferroptosis for ARDS management. : A screening of 259 FDA-approved drugs was conducted to identify an effective ferroptosis inhibitor in pulmonary epithelial and endothelial cells.

Canine prostate is susceptible to diseases such as cysts, abscesses, and tumors. A 15-year-old male castrated Chinese rural dog underwent staged treatment. Preliminary diagnosis is based on examination results, including clinical symptoms (tenesmus, dysuria, frequent urination, and hematuria); hematology (elevated neutrophil count); X-rays (swelling of the prostate); ultrasound examination (less uniform echo in the prostate region, no echo effect in parenchyma); biopsy smear of prostate tissue (large number of neutrophils and rod-shaped bacteria).

Algae blooms are frequently triggered owing to the improvements in aquatic trophic levels. The aggregated algae from these blooms are eventually dead and accumulate on sediment surfaces, impacting the microenvironment and phosphorus cycling in aquatic systems. However, research on the effects of naturally dead algal deposition on endogenous P release from sediments is lacking.

  • - Coughing serves as a protective reflex to remove harmful substances from the airway, but how the brain processes this reflex isn't fully understood.
  • - Researchers created a method to quantitatively assess cough-like reflexes in mice and discovered that specific neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) play a critical role in these reflexes.
  • - The activation of these NTS neurons, which receive signals from vagal sensory neurons, triggers respiratory responses similar to coughing, highlighting their importance in initiating cough-like reflexes via a specific neural pathway to the cough center in the brain.

Purpose: From 8% to 28% of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) experience recurrence, complicating risk stratification and treatment. We previously identified an inflammatory molecular subtype of PTC associated with poor prognosis. Based on this subtype, we aimed to develop and validate a noninvasive radiomic signature to predict prognosis and treatment response in patients with PTC.
