The growing discussion on "interdisciplinary integration" brings attention to the "interprofessional education" (IPE) in the field of plastic surgery. IPE not only improves the precision and effectiveness of plastic and reconstructive surgery but also plays an important role in personalized treatment. Whereas, the implementation of IPE in plastic and reconstructive surgery field faces huge difficulties such as technology combination, standard making, and lacking of qualified talents.

Although much research effort has been devoted to improving the robustness towards noisy labels in classification tasks, the problem of noisy labels in deep metric learning (DML) remains under-explored. Existing noisy label learning methods designed for DML mainly discard suspicious noisy samples, resulting in a waste of the training data.

Rank aggregation with pairwise comparisons is widely encountered in sociology, politics, economics, psychology, sports, etc. Given the enormous social impact and the consequent incentives, the potential adversary has a strong motivation to manipulate the ranking list. However, the ideal attack opportunity and the excessive adversarial capability cause the existing methods to be impractical.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFA disruption in the expression of gga-miR-365-3p was confirmed in the Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG)-infected Chicken primary alveolar type II epithelial (CP-II) cells based on previous sequencing results, but the role it plays in the infection was unclear. In the present study, we demonstrate that MG evaded cellular host immunity via a gga-miR-365-3p/SOCS5-JAK/STATs negative feedback loop. Specifically, we found that at the initial stage of MG infection in cells, gga-miR-365-3p was rapidly increased and activated the JAK/STAT signaling pathway by inhibiting SOCS5, which induced the secretion of inflammatory factors and triggered immune response against MG infection.

In this study, geopolymer composite synthesized from fly ash (FA) was investigated for efficient stabilization of high-arsenic-containing AAR (AsO of 22.74 wt%).

(MG) infection is proved to cause an abnormal immune response, but the role of HMGB1 in MG-induced chronic respiratory disease (CRD) is unclear. In this study, we found that HMGB1 was released from the nucleus to the extracellular in macrophages upon infection with MG.

Exosomal miRNAs are emerging as important regulators in host immune response to microbial invasion. Previously, we found that gga-miR-193a was significantly up-regulated in exosomes from MG-infected primary chicken type II pneumocytes (CP-IIs).

Respiratory tract inflammation and apoptosis are the main features of CRD. Andrographolide (Andro), a natural small molecule compound, is known for its excellent anti-pathogenic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Both compounds show strong broadband nonlinear absorption (NLA) and different wavelength-dependent two-photon absorption (TPA) characteristics in the range of 650-1100 nm. The TPA cross section of trithiophene-based compound INT3 was found to be larger than that of triphenylamine-based compound INB3 in the red region (650-800 nm), which is attributed to its longer π-conjugated structure and better molecular planarity.

Increasing evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) act as a vital role in resisting microbial pathogenesis and maintaining cellular mechanism. Our previous miRNAs sequencing data showed that gga-miR-223 expression level significantly decreased in MG-infected chicken lungs.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFMycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) is the primary etiological agent of chicken chronic respiratory disease (CRD), which mainly causes inflammatory damage of the host respiratory system. Previous studies suggest that puerarin (PUE) plays a pivotal regulatory role in inflammatory diseases, whereas the impacts of PUE on MG-induced inflammation remain unclear. This study investigated the effects of PUE on MG-HS infection in vitro and in vivo and indicated its potential therapeutic and preventive value.

Polydatin (PD) is a resveratrol glycoside isolated from Polygonum cuspidatum, which has prominent anti-inflammatory effect. The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of PD against MG-induced inflammation in chicken and its underlying mechanism.
