Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) inhibits cardiac mast cells activation and improves myocardial atrophy after ischemic stroke.

Background: Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of chronic disability worldwide, and stroke-induced heart damage can lead to death. According to research, patients with a variety of brain disease have good clinical results after vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). After ischemic stroke, mast cells (MCs) degranulate and release a large number of mediators, which may cause systemic inflammation.

Adsorption-desorption and leaching behavior of benzovindiflupyr in different soil types.

Benzovindiflupyr is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicide that targets mitochondrial function for disease control. In this study, we investigated the adsorption-desorption and leaching behavior of benzovindiflupyr in eight soil types using the batch equilibrium method and the soil column leaching method. A Freundlich model (r > 0.

Electroacupuncture alleviates neuropathic pain caused by SNL by promoting M2 microglia polarization through PD-L1.

As a common clinical disease, neuropathic pain is difficult to be cured with drugs. The occurrence and progression of pain is closely related to the response of spinal microglia. Aspartof the regulation of microglialactivity,PD-L1 playsacriticalrole.

Electroacupuncture inhibits dendritic spine remodeling through the srGAP3-Rac1 signaling pathway in rats with SNL.

Previous studies have shown that peripheral nerve injury can lead to abnormal dendritic spine remodeling in spinal dorsal horn neurons. Inhibition of abnormal dendritic spine remodeling can relieve neuropathic pain. Electroacupuncture (EA) has a beneficial effect on the treatment of neuropathic pain, but the specific mechanism remains unclear.

Sequence characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of H9N2 subtype avian influenza A viruses detected from poultry and the environment in China, 2018.

H9N2 subtype avian influenza A virus (AIV) is a causative agent that poses serious threats to both the poultry industry and global public health. In this study, we performed active surveillance to identify H9N2 AIVs from poultry (chicken, duck, and goose) and the environment of different regions in China, and we phylogenetically characterized the sequences. AIV subtype-specific reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) showed that 5.

A 2-year longitudinal follow-up of quantitative assessment neck tics in Tourette's syndrome.

Background: Neck motor tics in Tourette's syndrome can cause severe neck complications. Although addressed in a few longitudinal studies, the clinical course of Tourette's syndrome has not been quantitatively assessed. We had previously developed a method for quantifying the angular movements of neck tics using a compact gyroscope.

Occurrence and Characterization of Isolated From Chicken Breeder Flocks in Nine Chinese Provinces.

We investigated the prevalence of salmonellosis on 17 poultry breeding farms in nine Chinese provinces (Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan, Sichuan, and Chongqing). Altogether, 3,508 samples from poultry breeding farms were collected in 2019, including 1,400 from cloaca swabs, 210 from feed, 1,688 from chicken embryos, and 210 from water. All the samples were subjected to bacterial isolation and culture, and bacterial species were identified by polymerase chain reaction.

Optimized real-time fluorescence PCR assay for the detection of porcine Circovirus type 3 (PCV3).

Background: Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) has been an emerging porcine virus spread around the world. The conserved DNA sequence of PCV3 enabled good performance in molecular biological assays.

Result: In this study, we developed a real-time fluorescence PCR assay for the detection of PCV3.

The prevalence of novel porcine circovirus type 3 isolates in pig farms in China.

The emerging porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) has been reported in Chinese swine herds since 2017. We performed a nationwide investigation on the prevalence of PCV3 in pig breeding farms and slaughterhouses in China. A total of 4,040 tonsil samples were collected from 89 farms in 25 provinces, and 1,419 lymph node samples were collected from 50 slaughterhouses in 27 provinces.

Complete genomic characterization and genetic diversity of four European genotype porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus isolates from China in 2011.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is an emerging disease that has caused serious economic losses to the swine industry worldwide. In 2011, a nation-wide surveillance program investigated the prevalence of PRRS viruses (PRRSV) in Chinese breeding swine farms, and four European genotype PRRSV (PRRSV-Type 1) were successfully isolated. To explore the genetic diversity of PRRSV-Type 1 in China, these 4 viral strains were subjected to genome sequencing and analysis.

A descriptive study of the progression of the Metabolic Syndrome in middle-aged Chinese population.

This longitudinal study investigated the prevalence of the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in middle-aged (44-56 years) men and women in China. The presence of the components of the MetS was determined in a cohort of 643 persons born in 1956, 1960-1961, and 1964 in Shanxi Province China in 2008 and 2012. The rate of MetS in 2008 was 51.

Assessment of the safety and efficacy of an attenuated live vaccine based on highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus.

The safety and efficacy of the JXA1-R vaccine, an attenuated strain of highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (HP-PRRSV), were examined using an intramuscular challenge model in piglets. The JXA1-R vaccine was obtained by passing HP-PRRSV JXA1 through Marc-145 cells (82nd passage). Genomic sequence comparisons showed that strain JXA1-R and its parental strain, JXA1, differ by 47 amino acids, and most of these differences are scattered throughout the PRRSV genome.

Pathogenic pseudorabies virus, China, 2012.

In 2012, an unprecedented large-scale outbreak of disease in pigs in China caused great economic losses to the swine industry. Isolates from pseudorabies virus epidemics in swine herds were characterized. Evidence confirmed that the pathogenic pseudorabies virus was the etiologic agent of this epidemic.

Complete genome sequence of a European genotype porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in china.

Here, we report a novel European genotype porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) strain with 15 nucleotide deletions in the nonstructural protein 2 region and 3 nucleotide deletions in the overlapping regions of the open reading frame 3 (ORF3) and ORF4 regions. This study will aid in further exploration of the genetic and antigenic diversity of the European genotype of the PRRSV in China.

Genomic sequencing reveals mutations potentially related to the overattenuation of a highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus.

Highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (HP-PRRSV) continues to evolve when serially passaged in Marc-145 cells. In this study, we analyzed the genomic and antigenic variants of HP-PRRSV strain JXA1 during in vitro passage. Protective efficacies of JXA1 from passages 100, 110, 120, 140, and 170 against the high-virulence parental virus were evaluated by inoculating pigs with each of these viruses and then challenging with JXA1 from passage 5 at 28 days postimmunization.
