is a major pathogenic bacterium that poses a significant threat to salmonid fish. Yadong County, located in the Xizang Autonomous Region, is renowned for its characteristic industry of aquaculture. In recent years, the outbreak of Bacterial Gill Disease (BGD) has led to substantial economic losses for farmers.

The long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) UCA1 is overexpressed in bladder cancer, but its functional contribution to lipid metabolism remains uncharacterized. In this study, we demonstrated that lncRNA UCA1 inhibits epirubicin-induced cell apoptosis by supporting abnormal lipid metabolism in bladder cancer cells.

However, the pathological mechanism of PSA is largely unclear. Here, we found that neuronal HIPK2 expression was upregulated in the ischemic lesion after stroke.

In this study, we added three different probiotics, (SC), (BL), and (LAB), and compared them with the control group (CON), to investigate the effects of probiotic supplementation on growth performance, gut microbiology, and gut flora of . Our results showed that feeding probiotics improved the survival, growth, development, and fattening of .

Chloride loss worsens the prognosis of patients with sepsis but the underlying mechanism is currently unclear. In this study, we founded that macrophages deficient in intracellular Cl secrete more inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α compared with control group.

Methods: We analyzed profiles of differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and messenger RNA (mRNAs) in gemcitabine-resistant/sensitive bladder cancer cells using next-generation sequencing data.
Results: Hundreds of differentially expressed lncRNAs and miRNAs and thousands of circRNAs and mRNAs were identified.
Coprophagy is an instinctive behavior in rabbit with important effects on growth and reproductive performance. The underlying mechanism of this effect in rabbit is unknown. Here, we used Elizabeth circle as a coprophagy preventing model in female rabbits and assess feed intake, growth, and reproductive performance.

However, the genes involve in hepatic energy metabolism during bovine development and how regulate are still unclear. In this study, 0-day-old newborn calves (0W) and 9-week-old weaned calves (9W) were used to investigate differences in liver glucose metabolism at these stages of calf development.

However, the domestication of remains challenging due to the lack of basic research. Here, we investigated the effects of artificial feeding on the oocytes and liver of by comparing the histological, metabolomic, and transcriptomic data.

Cecotrophy is a special behaviour of rabbits. Eating soft faeces can improve feed efficiency and maintain gut flora in rabbits. In our previous study, we found that fasting from soft faeces significantly reduced growth rate and total cholesterol (TC) in New Zealand white rabbits (NZW rabbits), thereby resulting in lower values for body weight and fat deposition in the soft faeces fasting group than in the control group.

Rabbits in the experimental group were treated with an Elizabeth circle to prevent them from eating their own soft feces for a 60-day period. Growth and blood biochemical indices, transcriptome sequencing and histology analysis of the liver were performed.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFRumen development in calves is affected by many factors, including dietary composition. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to function in the development of the rumen in cattle, what is not known is how these miRNAs function in rumen development of calves fed with high and low ratios of non-fibrous carbohydrate (NFC)/neutral detergent fiber (NDF). A total of six healthy Charolais hybrids bull calves of similar weight were divided into two groups; three calves were fed a mixed diet with NFC/NDF = 1.
