This study investigated the effect of dietary lipid levels on growth performance, lipid metabolism, antioxidant capacity, digestive enzyme activity, and metamorphosis rate of bullfrog () tadpoles. A total of six isonitrogenous diets were prepared, each containing 4.46% (L5), 6.

High temperature induces oxidative stress in spotted seabass (Lateolabrax maculatus) and leads to inflammation and apoptosis.

Our study aims to examine the changes of long-term high temperature on the mortality and health status of spotted seabass (Lateolabrax maculatus), as well as to screen suitable biomarkers to determine whether the spotted seabass is under heat stress. In this study, 360 juvenile spotted seabass were evenly distributed into three temperature-controlled systems at 27 °C (N, normal temperature), 31 °C (M, moderate temperature), and 35 °C (H, high temperature) for an 8-week aquaculture experiment. The results revealed that 35 °C water temperature significantly increased the mortality and the MDA content in tissues (P < 0.

Derivatives of postbiotics (cell wall constituents) from Bacillus subtilis (LCBS1) relieve soybean meal-induced enteritis in bullfrog (Aquarana catesbeianus).

Soybean meal (SM) serves as a primary alternative to fish meal in aquafeeds. However, a high-SM diet may result in intestinal injury. Our previous study demonstrated the probiotic effects of heat-inactivated Bacillus subtilis (LCBS1) on bullfrogs (Aquarana catesbeianus) fed a high-SM diet, probably attributed to the bioactive constituent of cell wall.

Ropivacaine combined with dexmedetomidine in ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus block in children, a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant treatment to ropivacaine in children undergoing upper limb surgeries under ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus blocks and general anesthesia.

Methods: We enrolled 90 children (aged 1-8 years; ASA I-II) undergoing closed reduction and internal fixation for upper extremity fractures at the Xiamen Children's Hospital and randomly assigned them to one of two groups: L (injection with 0.25% ropivacaine) or D (injection with 0.

Pulmonary embolism and left renal vein thrombosis extending into the inferior vena cava associated with nephrotic syndrome: A case report.

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) had serious complications due to hypercoagulable state in both various venous and arteries which could lead thromboembolic events. we described a case of a 41-year-old man who presented with pulmonary artery thrombosis and was diagnosed with NS. Early diagnosis and management of nephrotic syndrome may prevent the occurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Physiological Response of Spotted Seabass () to Different Dietary Available Phosphorus Levels and Water Temperature: Changes in Growth, Lipid Metabolism, Antioxidant Status and Intestinal Microbiota.

A 10-week growth experiment was conducted to assess the physiological response of spotted seabass () raised at moderate (27 °C) and high temperatures (33 °C) to different dietary available phosphorus (P) levels. Five diets with available P levels of 0.35, 0.

Palmitic acid activates NLRP3 inflammasome through NF-κB and AMPK-mitophagy-ROS pathways to induce IL-1β production in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea).

Studies on marine fish showed that vegetable oils substituted for excessive fish oil increased interleukin-1β (IL-1β) production. However, whether the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat-containing family, pyrin domain-containing-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome has a substantial role in fatty acid-induced IL-1β production in fish remains unclear. The associated specific mechanism is also unknown.

The future exacerbation and mortality of different inhalation therapies among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in various GOLD groups: a focus on the GOLD 2017 and GOLD 2023 reports.

Background: The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2023 report revised the combined assessment, merged the C and D groups into the E group, and revised the initial inhalation therapy recommendation.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the future exacerbation and mortality of different inhalation therapies among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in various groups based on the GOLD 2017 and GOLD 2023 reports.

Design: This is a multicenter and retrospective study.

The clinical characteristics and treatment response of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with low body mass index.

This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment response of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with low body mass index (BMI). In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled patients with stable COPD from the database setup by the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. We classified the patients into three groups based on BMI: low-BMI (<18.

Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Thoracic Paravertebral Block on Postoperative Quality of Recovery in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block on postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Patients And Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we enrolled patients scheduled for unilateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Patients were randomly allocated to receive thoracic paravertebral block either with 20 mL of 0.

Short version of the smartphone addiction scale: Measurement invariance across gender.

The Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Version (SAS-SV) has been widely used in research, but little is known about the measurement invariance across gender. The current study measured SAS-SV invariance between male and female college students in a sample of 1112 participants. Single- and multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) of smartphone addiction symptom ratings were conducted using R program with RStudio.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of meal (TM) replacement for fish meal (FM) on growth performance, humoral immunity, and intestinal health of juvenile large yellow croakers (). Four experimental diets were formulated by replacing FM with TM at different levels-0% (TM0), 15% (TM15), 30% (TM30), and 45% (TM45). Triplicate groups of juveniles (initial weight = 11.

Increased LDL receptor by SREBP2 or SREBP2-induced lncRNA LDLR-AS promotes triglyceride accumulation in fish.

LDLR, as the uptake receptor of low-density lipoprotein, plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism. However, the detailed mechanism by which LDLR affects hepatic triglyceride (TG) accumulation has rarely been reported. Here, we found that knockdown of LDLR effectively mitigated PA-induced TG accumulation.

Nrf2 pathway in vegetable oil-induced inflammation of large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea).

This study was conducted to investigate the effects and regulation of dietary vegetable oil (VO, enriched with α-linolenic acid [ALA] and linoleic acid [LNA]) on the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathways in large yellow croaker. In vivo study showed that the VO diet significantly decreased the activity of antioxidant enzymes and antioxidant enzyme-related mRNA expression in the liver tissue, in comparison with the fish oil (FO) diet (P < 0.05).
