ZTHY2 Attenuates Cyclophosphamide-Induced Immunosuppression in Mice.

() can enhance the immune and antioxidant function of the body. However, whether has an immunoregulatory effect on cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced immunosuppressed animals remains to be clarified. In this study, the ZTHY2 that we isolated from the coastal waters of the South China Sea previously was prepared in order to investigate its immunoprotective effect on CTX-induced immunosuppression in mice, and the effects were compared to those of (LA) (a well-known probiotic).

Effects of on the Immune Function and Gut Microbiota of Mice.

As a dominant species among marine yeasts, accounts for ~50% of all marine yeasts. is rich in a variety of bioactive substances and commonly used in the production of carotenoids by microbial fermentation and is worth developing. Therefore, the present study used a strain of isolated from the coastal waters of the South China Sea as the target yeast to investigate its impact on the immune function and gut microbiota of mice.

Integrated mRNA and microRNA Transcriptome Sequencing Characterizes Sequence Variants and mRNA-microRNA Regulatory Networks in Grass Carp Fibroblasts Infected with Virulent and Attenuated GCRV.

Grass carp hemorrhagic disease is a fatal disease caused by the grass carp reovirus (GCRV). The aberrant regulation of transcripts has been implicated in many types of diseases. In the present study, we characterized mRNA and miRNA transcriptomes of different virulent GCRVs using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq).

Sparganosis in mainland China.

Sparganosis is an infection of humans and animals caused by the plerocercoid larvae (spargana) of various diphyllobothroid tapeworms belonging to the genus Spirometra. Sparganosis has been reported sporadically around the world, and a higher prevalence of the disease occurs in several Asian countries, including South Korea, Japan, Thailand, and China. To date, a total of more than 1000 cases of human sparganosis have been reported in 25 provinces in mainland China.
