Effect of Spirulina on the Rumen Microbiota and Serum Biochemical Parameters of Lambs.

Spirulina () is rich in a variety of fermentable fibers and prebiotics, which can promote the proliferation of beneficial flora in the intestinal tract of ruminants and optimize the balance of microorganisms in the rumen. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether dietary supplementation with Spirulina has a beneficial effect on the rumen microbial community and serum indices in lambs. For this purpose, 36 lambs with a mean weight of 21.

Comparison of clinical and MRI features of brain metastases between ALK+ and ALK- NSCLC.

Background: Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the primary cause of brain metastases (BM). This study aimed to investigate differences in clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of BM between anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene fusion (ALK+) and ALK wild-type (ALK-) NSCLC, and to preliminarily assess the efficacy of radiotherapy for treating BM.

Methods: A retrospective analysis included 101 epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)- NSCLC patients with BM: 41 with ALK gene fusion and 60 being ALK-.

Gel-Embedded Biochar and Hydroxyapatite Composite for the Improvement of Saline-Alkali Soil and Plant Growth Promotion.

Soil amendments play a crucial role in modern agriculture, as they effectively enhance the planting environment. This study innovatively proposes the use of gel as a crosslinking agent to embed biochar and hydroxyapatite (HAP), thereby preparing a novel soil amendment. Furthermore, this study investigates the soil improvement effects of this amendment as well as its influence on plant growth.
