Cadmium (Cd), a common heavy metal in the environment, is associated with cognitive impairment. In the present study, we carried out a preliminary inquiry to explore whether Cd causes neurotoxicity by regulating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway and affecting the expression of klotho genes in vivo and in vitro, providing clues for the mechanism of Cd-induced cognitive dysfunction. The rat samples were injected with Cd chloride solution for 14 weeks, and the memory function of the rats was detected.

Oritavancin is a new-generation semisynthetic lipoglycopeptide antibiotic used to prevent the spread of vancomycin-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. The glycopeptide A82846B is the direct precursor of oritavancin. Considering the structural similarity between A82846B and vancomycin, the vancomycin producer was used as a chassis for the construction of a strain producing high-quality A82846B.

Y chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) have been applied overwhelmingly in forensic areas for solving paternity identification and sexual assault cases. Yet the widely used Y-STR kits contain mostly single-copy markers, which may restrict the discrimination power. Here, a novel Y-STR multiplex was developed and validated in order to complement the currently available Y-STR kits, especially on differentiating male relatives.
