Regulation of Concanavalin A-induced Immune Hepatitis in Mice by Dihydromyricetin at the M1/M2 Type Macrophage Level.

Background: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an autoimmune disease accompanied by an autoimmune inflammatory response that often leads to severe liver damage. In addition, it may further lead to complications such as liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver failure. Dihydromyricetin (DHM) possesses various pharmacological properties, such as being anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial.

Interventional treatment of non-spontaneously healed spontaneous coronary artery dissection: a case report.

Background: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a significant cause of non-atherosclerotic acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. Women account for 87-95% of SCAD patients, with the average age of onset ranging from 44 to 53 years. Approximately 95% of cases reported to resolve spontaneously.

Mitochondria fission accentuates oxidative stress in hyperglycemia-induced H9c2 cardiomyoblasts in vitro by regulating fatty acid oxidation.

Oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Previous studies have revealed that inhibition of mitochondrial fission suppressed oxidative stress and alleviated mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiac dysfunction in diabetic mice. However, no research has confirmed whether mitochondria fission accentuates hyperglycemia-induced cardiomyoblast oxidative stress through regulating fatty acid oxidation (FAO).

Gallbladder microbial species and host bile acids biosynthesis linked to cholesterol gallstone comparing to pigment individuals.

Gallstones are crystalline deposits in the gallbladder that are traditionally classified as cholesterol, pigment, or mixed stones based on their composition. Microbiota and host metabolism variances among the different types of gallstones remain largely unclear. Here, the bile and gallstone microbial species spectra of 29 subjects with gallstone disease (GSD, 24 cholesterol and 5 pigment) were revealed by type IIB restriction site-associated DNA microbiome sequencing (2bRAD-M).

Comprehensive impacts of different integrated rice-animal co-culture systems on rice yield, nitrogen fertilizer partial factor productivity and nitrogen losses: A global meta-analysis.

Integrated rice-animal co-culture (IRAC) is an ecological agricultural system combining rice cultivation with animal farming, which holds significant implications for food security and agriculture sustainable development. However, the comprehensive impacts of the co-culture on rice yield, nitrogen (N) losses, and N fertilizer partial factor productivity (NPFP) remain elusive and may vary under different environmental conditions and N management. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis of data from various IRAC systems on a global scale, including 371, 298, and 115 sets of data for rice yield, NPFP, and N losses, respectively.

Improvement of straw decomposition and rice growth through co-application of straw-decomposing inoculants and ammonium nitrogen fertilizer.

Background: The growth of rice is reduced by the slow decomposition of accumulated straw, which competes with rice for soil nitrogen nutrient. In recent year, straw-decomposing inoculants (SDIs) that can accelerate straw decomposition and ammonium nitrogen (N) fertilizer that can quickly generate available N is increasingly adopted in China. However, it is still unknown whether the N demand of straw decomposition and crop growth can be simultaneously met through the co-application of SDIs and ammonium N fertilizer.

Landscape in the gallbladder mycobiome and bacteriome of patients undergoing cholelithiasis with chronic cholecystitis.

Gallstone disease (GSD) is associated with changes in the gut and gallbladder bacterial composition, but there is limited information on the role of the fungal community (mycobiome) in disease development. This study aimed to characterize the gallbladder mycobiome profiles and their interactions with bacteriome in GSD. A total of 136 bile and gallstone samples (34 paired for bacteriome, and 33 paired and extra 2 bile samples for mycobiome) were obtained from calculi patients with chronic cholecystitis.

Combination of NIR spectroscopy and algorithms for rapid differentiation between one-year and two-year stored rice.

Storage is necessary for rice to ensure the year-round consumption of rice. With the increase in storage time, the taste quality and commercial value of rice gradually decrease. The accurate determination of the freshness of rice is critical to the rice trade.

Differences in starch multi-layer structure, pasting, and rice eating quality between fresh rice and 7 years stored rice.

With the continuous improvement of rice production capacity and the accumulation of reserves year by year, rice sometimes has to be stored for a long time. However, long-term storage of rice has poor sensory properties, which may be related to the structural changes of starch. Different from the previous studies on short-term storage of rice (often 3-12 months), the focus of this study was to understand the differences in starch multi-layer structure, pasting, and rice eating quality between 7 years stored rice and fresh rice.

Current status of carbon neutrality in Chinese rice fields (2002-2017) and strategies for its achievement.

China has pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 to address global climate change, and achieving carbon neutrality in rice fields is a vital component of this commitment. However, the current status of carbon neutrality in rice fields in China is unclear, and there are few feasible strategies to achieve its successful implementation. Therefore, this study calculated the net carbon sequestration rate (NCSR, i.

Degradation enhancement of rice straw by co-culture of Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Trichoderma viride.

Straw is one of the most abundant stock of renewable biomass from crop production. However, its utilization efficiency is still very low. Although co-cultivation of fungi increases the degrading rate, the co-cultivation condition needs to be optimized.

Nitrogen Fertilizer Induced Alterations in The Root Proteome of Two Rice Cultivars.

Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient for plants and a key limiting factor of crop production. However, excessive application of N fertilizers and the low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) have brought in severe damage to the environment. Therefore, improving NUE is urgent and critical for the reductions of N fertilizer pollution and production cost.

Profiling of mRNA of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy with subclinical inflammation in recipients after kidney transplantation.

Interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) with inflammation (IFTA-I) is strongly correlated with kidney allograft failure. Diagnosis of IFTA-I accurately and early is critical to prevent graft failure and improve graft survival. In the current study, through analyzing the renal allograft biopsy in patients with stable function after kidney transplantation (STA), IFTA and IFTA-I group with semi-supervised principal components methods, we found that CD2, IL7R, CCL5 based signature could not only distinguish STA and IFTA-I well, but predict IFTA-I with a high degree of accuracy with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.
