Article Synopsis
  • When the good bacteria in our gut are out of balance, it can lead to inflammation, which is not good for our health.
  • Inflammation can be triggered by allergies, injuries, or infections, making the gut environment worse and allowing harmful bacteria to grow.
  • Some natural substances and the good bacteria can help reduce inflammation, but scientists still need to learn more about how they work together to protect our gut.

Article Synopsis
  • Cyclophosphamide (Cyc) chemotherapy can hurt the ovaries of young girls with cancer, possibly leading to early menopause.
  • Researchers tested if melatonin (Mel) could protect the ovaries when given before and after the chemotherapy in female mice.
  • The study found that melatonin helped keep the ovaries healthy and prevented fertility problems caused by the chemotherapy.

A novel bacterium, designated NAS39, was isolated from the interfacial sediment of Taihu Lake in PR China and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Cells of the isolate were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, catalase-positive, yellow and rod-shaped. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences supported that strain NAS39 formed a cluster within the genus , and was most closely related to LB2P30 (98.

A taxonomic identification using a polyphasic approach was performed on strain NBS58-1, which was isolated from the interfacial sediment of Taihu Lake in China. Strain NBS58-1 was Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming and catalase-positive. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene and three housekeeping genes (, and ) sequences supported the position that strain NBS58-1 should be classified within the genus .

An aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated N8, was isolated from the interfacial sediment of Taihu Lake in PR China. The strain formed white to blue colonies on R2A agar. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain N8 represented a member of the genus and was most closely related to A1-9 (97.

The effect and underlying mechanism of Bu-Shen-An-Tai recipe on ovarian apoptosis in mice with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) implantation dysfunction were studied. The COH implantation dysfunction model in mice was established by intraperitoneal injection of 7.5 IU pregnant mare's serum gonadotrophin (PMSG), followed by 7.

The aim of the present study was to explore the effect and mechanism of Bushen Huoxue recipe (BHR) on ovarian reserve in mice with premature ovarian failure (POF). Mice were divided into 3 groups: normal group, model group and BHR group. Intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide was performed to create the POF model.

Objective: To study the effect of Guishen Pill (GSP) on expression levels of Oct-4, MVH, and Egr-1 in mice with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR).

Methods: Totally 40 female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 4 groups, the normal control group, the model group, the GSP group, and the dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) group, 10 in each group. Pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) were sequentially administrated to produce superovulation.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Bu-Shen-An-Tai recipe (BSATR) and its two components (Bushen recipe, and Huoxue recipe) on endometrial morphology during peri-implantation in superovulated mice. Mice were randomly divided into five groups, including the normal (N), model (M), Bushen (BS), Huoxue (HX) and Bu-Shen-An-Tai (BH) groups. The uteri were collected on day 4 of pregnancy, and the endometrium thickness, microvessel density (MVD) and number of pinopodes observed.

In spectral radiation detection, spectral characteristics of the environment are completely different from standard light sources, so the output characteristics of optical imaging device is bound to bring greater error due to spectrum matching in imaging characteristic analysis. In the present paper, we measured moon-light and star-light spectral radiation using a portable CCD fiber spectrometer, and analyzed spectral characteristics, which provided a reference to correctly evaluate the imaging performance of optical imaging device.
