LncRNA-MSTRG.19083.1 Targets NTRK2 as a miR-429-y Sponge to Regulate Circadian Rhythm via the cAMP Pathway in Yak Testis and Cryptorchidism.

Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) play essential roles in numerous biological processes in mammals, such as reproductive physiology and endocrinology. Cryptorchidism is a common male reproductive disease. Circadian rhythms are actively expressed in the reproductive system.

Mechanism of Resveratrol on LPS/ATP-induced pyroptosis and inflammatory response in HT29 cells.

Pyroptosis plays an important role in maintenance of intestinal homeostasis, the abnormal activation of NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain-associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome can promote the event and development of ulcerative colitis (UC). Its protective effects such as inhibiting pyroptosis in various inflammation-related diseases have been demonstrated, but whether resveratrol (RES) can also alleviate the progression of the disease by inhibiting pyroptosis in UC and the mechanism have rarely been studied. In this study, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) combined with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was used to induce HT29 human colon cancer cells to construct an intestinal epithelial cell pyroptosis and inflammation model to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of RES, reveal the regulatory mechanism of RES on pyroptosis, and provide a new theoretical basis for the treatment of UC.

CD137 Protein Expression Pattern Determines the Functional Role of Galectin-9 in Colorectal Cancer.

The rapid advancement of single-cell sequencing technology has generated extensive data, providing critical resources for colorectal cancer (CRC) research. This study conducts a detailed analysis of CRC single-cell sequencing data to develop a novel clinical prognostic tool and explore potential therapeutic targets for the LGALS9 gene. Using the Scissor algorithm, we created a CRC prognostic scoring system (SDRS) based on 13 key genes, with particular focus on LGALS9 and its protein, Galectin-9, in mice CRC model with altered CD137 expression.

Eliminating Charge Transfer at Cathode-Electrolyte Interface for Ultrafast Kinetics in Na-Ion Batteries.

Sodium-ion batteries suffer from kinetic problems stemming from sluggish ion transport across the electrode-electrolyte interface, causing rapid energy decay during fast-charging or low-temperature operation. One exciting prospect to enhance kinetics is constructing neuron-like electrodes that emulate fast signal transmission in a nervous system. It has been considered that these bioinspired designs enhance electron/ion transport of the electrodes through carbon networks.

Comparative study on the antioxidant efficacy of extracts in inhibiting lipid oxidation in edible oils.

Exploring natural antioxidants is essential to delay lipid oxidation. This study investigated the inhibitory effect of (AN) extract in six edible oils, compared to TP and TBHQ. Methods included extract preparation, bioactive compounds analysis, in vitro antioxidant activities by FRAP, DPPH, and ABTS assays, fatty acid composition detection, and POV determination.

LaMnO-Type Perovskite Nanofibers as Effective Catalysts for On-Cell CH Reforming via Solid Oxide Fuel Cells.

CH has become the most attractive fuel for solid oxide fuel cells due to its wide availability, narrow explosion limit range, low price, and easy storage. Thus, we present the concept of on-cell reforming via SOFC power generation, in which CH and CO can be converted into H and the formed H is electrochemically oxidized on a Ni-BZCYYb anode. We modified the porosity and specific surface area of a perovskite reforming catalyst via an optimized electrostatic spinning method, and the prepared LCMN nanofibers, which displayed an ideal LaMnO-type perovskite structure with a high specific surface area, were imposed on a conventional Ni-BZCYYb anode for on-cell CH reforming.

Protocol for evaluating S-acylated protein membrane affinity using protein-lipid conjugates.

S-acylation of proteins allows their association with membranes. Here, we present a protocol for establishing a platform for membrane affinity evaluation of S-acylated proteins in vitro. We describe steps for preparing lipid-maleimide compounds, mCherry-p62 recombinant proteins, and total cellular membranes.

Efficacy and underlying mechanisms of three-circle post standing qigong on insomnia in college students: a four-arm, double-blind, randomized controlled trial protocol.

Background: Insomnia is common in college students, but its impact on health and wellbeing is often neglected. Enhancing sleep quality through targeted interventions could improve overall health and reduce the risk of consequent co-morbidities and mental health problems. Qigong exercises have been shown to significantly improve sleep quality and relieve insomnia.

Expanded ROS Generation and Hypoxia Reversal: Excipient-free Self-assembled Nanotheranostics for Enhanced Cancer Photodynamic Immunotherapy.

The efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT)-related cancer therapies is significantly restricted by two irreconcilable obstacles, i.e., low reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capability and hypoxia which constrains the immune response.

Meta-analysis of modified Sijunzi decoction for the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis.

Background: Qi deficiency in the spleen and stomach is considered to be the fundamental pathogenesis of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) in Traditional Chinese medicine. Spleen strengthening and Qi replenishment are the basic treatment principles. Sijunzi Decoction serves as the fundamental remedy for spleen notification and Qi replenishment.

Pharmacological suppression of HHLA2 glycosylation restores anti-tumor immunity in colorectal cancer.

Immunotherapy aimed at inhibiting the negative co-stimulatory molecule programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) has limited effectiveness, with clinical response rates remaining below 10%-15%. Therefore, new immune checkpoints need to be explored. Our study focused on human endogenous retrovirus H long terminal repeat-associating protein 2 (HHLA2), a highly glycosylated member of the B7 family that is widely expressed in colorectal cancer.
