Maternal group B decreases infant length and alters the early-life microbiome: a prospective cohort study.

Background: Maternal colonization with Group B Streptococcus (GBS) disrupts the vaginal microbiota, potentially affecting infant microbiota assembly and growth. While the gut microbiota's importance in infant growth is recognized, the specific effects of maternal GBS on growth remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the effects of maternal vaginal GBS during pregnancy on early infant growth, microbiome, and metabolomics.

Functional analysis of yak alveolar type II epithelial cells at high and low altitudes based on single-cell sequencing.

The adaptation of lung cells to high-altitude environments represents a notable gap in our understanding of how animals cope with hypoxic conditions. Alveolar epithelial cells type II (AEC II) are crucial for lung development and repair. However, their, specific role in the adaptation of yaks to high-altitude environments remains unclear.

Dexmedetomidine regulates the anti-oxidation and autophagy of adipose-derived stromal cells under HO-induced oxidative stress through Nrf2/p62 pathway and improves the retention rate of autologous fat transplantation.

To investigate the protective mechanism of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) under oxidative stress model and its promotion effect on the retention rate of adipose granule transplantation by and experiments. The experiment was divided into control group, model group (ADSCs + HO+normal serum), DEX group (ADSCs + H0+DEX drug-containing serum), autophagy agonist group (ADSCs + HO+rapamycin (RAP)+normal serum), RAP + DEX group (ADSCs + HO+normal serum), RAP + DEX drug-containing serum), autophagy inhibitor group (ADSCs + HO+chloroquine (CQ)+normal serum), CQ + DEX group (ADSCs + HO+CQ + DEX drug-containing serum). HO-1, GSH-PX, SOD and CAT in ADSCs under oxidative stress model were measured.

Bronchoscopy in children with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage under general anesthesia with spontaneous respiration by face mask ventilation.

To improve the management level of general anesthesia during bronchoscopy in the children with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). A retrospective study was conducted in the children with DAH who had performed bronchoscopy under general anesthesia with spontaneous respiration by face mask ventilation initially from June 2021 to June 2022 in our hospital. (1) Thirty-four children who had underwent 38 bronchoscopy procedures were included.

U. Parvum serovars exhibit distinct pathogenicity in Chinese women of childbearing age: a multicentre cross-sectional study.

Background: Ureaplasma spp. can be classified into different serovars. It is unknown whether distinct serovars are associated with clinical signs and symptoms.

Combined effects of benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, and styrene exposure on hearing loss mediated by oxidative stress at realistic low levels.

The link between benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, and styrene (BTEXS) exposure and hearing loss (HL) is not well-established. This study investigated 1694 petrochemical workers in southern China to examine the effects of BTEXS urinary metabolites on auditory function, considering oxidative stress (OS) as a potential cause. Using generalized linear models, elastic net regression, and quantile g-computation, we evaluated the single and combined effects of BTEXS, OS indicators, and HL.

Changes of collagen content in lung tissues of plateau yak and its mechanism of adaptation to hypoxia.

Collagen is crucial for tissue structure, functional maintenance, and cellular processes such as proliferation and differentiation. However, the specific changes in collagen expression and its associated genes in the lung tissues of yaks at high altitudes and their relationship with environmental adaptation remain poorly understood. Studying differences in the content of collagen fibers and gene expression between yaks at high (4,500 m) and low (2,600 m) altitudes, as well as between cattle at low altitudes (2,600 m).

Study on energy absorption of paper honeycomb sandwich tube filled by polyethylene foam under axial loading.

This work proposed an approach to multi-component non-metallic materials, namely regular polygonal paper honeycomb sandwich tubes filled with polyethylene (PE) foam, and focused on the influence of drop impact parameters and structural parameters on the deformation characteristics and energy absorption of the filled tubes. Axial drop impact tests were employed to exert drop impact loading on cross-sections of the specimens with a square drop weight. The results showed that the X-direction filled tube (X-DFT) had a higher crushing strength and yield strength than that of the Y-direction filled tube (Y-DFT).

Comparison of Three Different Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) Criteria and Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of Antithrombin Investigation in Patients with Confirmed Sepsis-Induced Coagulopathy (SIC).

A new scoring system termed sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) has been proposed to diagnose early sepsis-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). This study performed DIC-related analyses in patients with confirmed SIC. Data from the intensive care unit (ICU) departments of the three hospitals between 2020 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.

In vivo toxicity of upconversion nanoparticles (NaYF:Yb, Er) in zebrafish during early life stages: Developmental toxicity, gut-microbiome disruption, and proinflammatory effects.

Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (Ln-UCNPs) have been considered promising materials for various fields, such as biomedical and industrial applications. However, data and reports regarding its toxicity and environmental risks are scarce. Under these circumstances, data must be obtained to fully understand potential toxicity and adverse outcome pathways.

Stable Hierarchical Porous Heterostructure NiP/NC@CoNiS Fabricated via the NiCo-LDH Template Strategy for High-Performance Supercapacitors.

Transition metal phosphide/sulfide (TMP/TMS) heterostructures are attractive supercapacitor electrode materials due to their rapid redox reaction kinetics. However, the limited active sites and weak interfacial interactions result in undesirable electrochemical performance. Herein, based on constructing the NiCo-LDH template on Ni-MOF-derived NiP/NC, NiP/NC@CoNiS with a porous heterostructure is fabricated by sulfurizing the intermediate and is used for supercapacitors.
