Autoimmune thyroid disease and ovarian hypofunction: a review of literature.

Thyroid hormones(THs) are essential for the proper functioning of the ovaries, and multiple studies have shown that thyroid abnormalities, especially during adolescence and reproductive age, can lead to lifelong ovarian dysfunction. Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), one of the most common organ specific autoimmune diseases, is mainly mediated by cellular autoimmune reactions, and has strong inflammatory infiltration and immune active cells, including chemokines and cytokines, which are important components of ovarian aging. This suggests that autoimmune and inflammatory molecular processes may play a role in the emergence of ovarian dysfunction.

Evolutionary analysis and biological characterization of a novel alphabaculovirus isolated from .

Baculoviruses are insect-specific pathogens. Novel baculovirus isolates provide new options for the biological control of pests. Therefore, research into the biological characteristics of newly isolated baculoviruses, including accurate classification and nomenclature, is important.

Improved effects of Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus integrated with Campoletis chlorideae against H. armigera and impact of the virus on the parasitoid.

Background: Combined use can be an effective measure to improve pest control by viruses and parasitic wasps. However, not all combinations of natural enemies show improved effects. Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV) and Campoletis chlorideae Uchida are two important natural enemies of Helicoverpa armigera.

Metformin inhibits inflammatory response and endoplasmic reticulum stress to improve hypothalamic aging in obese mice.

The hypothalamus, as a vital brain region for endocrine and metabolism regulation, undergoes functional disruption during obesity.The anti-aging effect of metformin has come into focus. However, whether it has the potential to ameliorate hypothalamic aging and dysfunction in the obese state remains unclear.

Multi-Omics Analysis Reveals the Resistance Mechanism and the Pathogens Causing Root Rot of .

is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb used for more than 2,000 years. Root rot in can cause brown discoloration (necrosis) in the fibrous roots and rhizomes, leading to plants wilting and dying. However, little information exists about the resistance mechanism and the potential pathogens of the root rot of plants.

Sublethal Effects of Thiamethoxam on Biological Traits and Detoxification Enzyme Activities in the Small Brown Planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus (Fallén).

The small brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus (Fallén), Hemiptera: Delphacidae), is an important agricultural pest of rice, and neonicotinoid insecticides are commonly used for controlling L. striatellus. However, the sublethal effects of thiamethoxam on L.

[Identification and biological characteristics of a pathogen causing leaf blight of Rehmannia glutinosa].

Leaf blight outbroke in Rehmannia glutinosa plantation in Wenxian county, Henan province in 2019. R. glutinosa plants with diseased leaves were collected from the plantation, and three strains were isolated from the diseased leaf samples.

GP37 Facilitated ODVs Cross Insect Peritrophic Membranes and Fuse with Epithelia.

The (CpGV) GP37 has synergistic effects on the infectivity of (NPVs), however, the mechanism employed is unclear. In this study, in vitro and in vivo binding assays indicated that GP37 efficiently bound to the midgut peritrophic membrane (PM) of larvae. Treatment with GP37 led to the damage of the PM's compacted structure and the generation of the PM perforations, and the enhancement of the PM's permeability.

Synthesis of high-silica EU-1 zeolite in the presence of hexamethonium ions: a seeded approach for inhibiting ZSM-48.

A seeded approach was developed to synthesize high-silica EU-1 zeolite via inhibiting the co-crystallization of ZSM-48 in the presence of hexamethonium (HM) ions. A systematic study was carried out to determine factors such as seed content and SiO(2)/Al(2)O(3) ratio, which influenced the crystallization of high-silica EU-1 and transformation of EU-1 into ZSM-48. Using EU-1 seeds, not only well-crystallized pure EU-1 zeolites with SiO(2)/Al(2)O(3) ratios more than 500 were synthesized, but also the co-crystalline of ZSM-48/EU-1 or pure ZSM-48 was obtained in control from silica-rich mixture gels.
