Healthy mammary gland is essential for milk performance in dairy cows. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are the key molecules to regulate the steady state of mammary gland in dairy cows. This study investigated the potential role of miR-29c in bovine mammary epithelial cells (bMECs).

- Bovine mastitis is caused by pathogenic microorganisms and involves an inflammatory response in mammary glands, triggered by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activation of the TLR4 signaling pathway.
- In a study using MAC-T bovine mammary epithelial cell lines, RNA-seq revealed 2,257 long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), including 112 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) over time after LPS exposure.
- Key findings highlighted the regulation of immune-related processes by DElncRNAs, with specific lncRNAs linked to significant inflammatory signaling pathways (Notch, NF-κB, MAPK, PI3K-Akt, mTOR), providing a resource for future l
Rare earth elements (REE) have certain properties as tracing elements which result in their special geochemical characteristics. In order to study the geochemical characteristics of REE in the dustfall and their sources, 34 dustfall samples were collected in five functional areas and potential source areas of Quanzhou City, then REE compositions, distribution patterns and characteristic parameters were analyzed together with ternary diagrams and characteristic parameter diagrams, for investigating the main provenance. The results showed that ∑REE in the dustfall presented significant spatial difference with the sequence of industrial area>heavy traffic area > commercial area > residential area > agricultural area.

Several methods were applied to assess the enrichment degree, pollution level and potential ecological risk of the above elements. The sources of the above elements were analyzed based on the multivariate statistical analysis combining Pb and Sr isotopic tracing technology.

Objective: To compare the therapeutic effects of acupuncture and western medicine for treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis.
Methods: Eighty cases of chronic atrophic gastritis were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 40 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with acupuncture and moxibustion on Guanyuan (CV 4), Qihai (CV 6), Zusanli (ST 36), Xuehai (SP 10), Geshu (BL 17); and the control group with oral administration of western medicine, Omeprazole and Amoxicillin, etc.
