Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed the saliva and intestinal bacteria of children ages 3-5 in Zunyi City to compare those with high rates of dental caries to those who are caries-free, using advanced DNA sequencing techniques.
  • Results showed that children with high caries had a higher diversity of intestinal bacteria, while their saliva bacteria diversity did not significantly differ from the caries-free group.
  • Additionally, certain bacterial species were significantly more abundant in caries-free children, indicating unique microbial profiles associated with dental health.

Young breast cancer (YBC) patients often face a poor prognosis, hence it's necessary to construct a model that can accurately predict their long-term survival in early stage. To realize this goal, we utilized data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) databases between January 2010 and December 2020, and meanwhile, enrolled an independent external cohort from Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital. The study aimed to develop and validate a prediction model constructed using the Random Survival Forest (RSF) machine learning algorithm.

We first reported the complete mitochondrial genome of (Decapoda: Brachyura: Potamoidea). The genome is 19,294 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region. The whole mitochondrial genome is characterized by the apparent AT bias (74.

We report the complete mitochondrial genome of for the first time, which is found to be 17,612 base pairs in length, and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA), and 1 non-coding AT-rich region known as the D-loop. In addition, the mitogenome has 17 intergenic regions ranging from 1 to 1512 bp in length. The mitochondrial genome of is the first mitochondrial genome under the genus , providing DNA data for species identification, enriching the species diversity of Brachyura.

Tryptophan (TRP) metabolism could occur both peripherally and centrally, which plays an essential role in brain and gastrointestinal disorders. The participation of TRP metabolism in the bidirectional brain-gut interactions is of value to better understand the mechanism of the pathophysiology of depression. To compare the difference between peripheral and cerebral TRP metabolism in depression, the chronic unpredicted mild stress (CUMS) was used to induce depressive-like syndrome in rats.

The colonization of Hansschlegelia zhihuaiae S113 and its degradation of the herbicide chlorimuron-ethyl in the cucumber rhizosphere was investigated. The results reveal that S113 colonized the cucumber roots (2.14 × 10cells per gram of roots) and were able to survive in the rhizosphere (maintained for 20 d).

Triazophos is a broad-spectrum and highly effective insecticide, and the residues of triazophos have been frequently detected in the environment. A triazophos-degrading bacterium, Burkholderia sp. SZL-1, was isolated from a long-term triazophos-polluted soil.
