The effect of silage on intestinal health indicators and fecal bacterial composition in Kazakh sheep.

Hybrid shows great promise for use in antibiotic-free feed, potentially contributing to the green and sustainable development of the animal husbandry industry. In this study, we investigated the impact of silage on the intestinal health of Kazakh sheep. Forty healthy male Kazakh sheep, aged 5 months and weighing an average of 28.

SOX9 Overexpression Ameliorates Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatohepatitis Through Activation of the AMPK Pathway.

Background And Aims: The transcription factor sex-determining region Y-related high-mobility group-box gene 9 (SOX9) plays a critical role in organ development. Although SOX9 has been implicated in regulating lipid metabolism , its specific role in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the role of SOX9 in MASH pathogenesis and explored the underlying mechanisms.

Developing Eco-Friendly, High-Performance Soy Protein Plywood Adhesive via Core-Shell Hybridization and Borate Chemistry.

Developing eco-friendly, high-performance adhesives is crucial for sustainable industrial applications but remains a significant challenge. Herein, a synergistic strategy combining core-shell hybridization and borate chemistry was employed to fabricate a multifunctional soy protein (SPI) adhesive with excellent adhesion. Specifically, a reactive core-shell hybrid (POSS-U) was synthesized via free-radical polymerization using octavinyl-POSS as the core and urushiol (U) as the shell.

Prediction and Experimental Study of Low-Frequency Acoustic and Vibration Responses for an Aircraft Instrument Compartment Based on the Virtual Material Method.

Bolted connections are extensively utilized in aircraft structures, and accurately simulating these connections is a critical factor affecting the precision of vibration and noise response predictions for aircraft. This study focuses on an instrument compartment of a specific aircraft model, employing the virtual material method to simulate the bolted joints within the structure. Parameters for the virtual material layer were obtained through theoretical calculations combined with parameter identification methods, achieving precise modeling of the instrument compartment.

Efficient Removal of Sulfamethoxazole in Electro-Oxidation System with Boron-Doped Diamond Anode and Electrolyte NaCl: Degradation Mechanisms.

In recent years, the pollutant sulfamethoxazole (SMX) that is widely used in medical therapy has been frequently detected in different water systems. Thereby, it is necessary to develop green and effective advanced oxidation strategies, especially the electro-oxidation process. In this study, an electro-oxidation system featuring a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode and NaCl as the supporting electrolyte was implemented to effectively remove sulfamethoxazole (SMX) without the addition of external oxidants.
