Increased viperin expression induced by avian infectious bronchitis virus inhibits viral replication by restricting cholesterol synthesis: an in vitro study.

With the emergence of new variant strains resulting from high mutation rates and genome recombination, avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) has caused significant economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide. Little is known about the underlying mechanisms of IBV-host interactions, particularly how IBV utilizes host metabolic pathways for efficient viral replication and transmission. In the present study, the effects of the cell membrane, viral envelope membrane, and viperin-mediated cholesterol synthesis on IBV replication were explored.

Spinal subdural hematoma as a complication of tenecteplase treatment for acute ischemic stroke: A case report.

Intravenous thrombolysis is an effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke. The ESO recommends that tenecteplase be used for thrombolytic therapy in stroke within 4.5h of onset.

Semantic information processing for interoperability in the Industrial Internet of Things.

With the advent of the Internet of Everything (IoE), the concept of fully interconnected systems has become a reality, and the need for seamless communication and interoperability among different industrial systems has become more pressing than ever before. To address the challenges posed by massive data traffic, we demonstrate the potentials of semantic information processing in industrial manufacturing processes and then propose a brief framework of semantic processing and communication system for industrial network. In particular, the scheme is featured with task-orientation and collaborative processing.

Bacteroides fragilis spondylitis after suspected oral ulcer: a clinical case and comprehensive literature review.

This paper reports a case of Bacteroides fragilis induced spondylitis. Diagnosis was confirmed through blood culture and metagenomic sequencing of pus for pathogen detection. Due to persistent lumbar pain, surgical intervention became imperative, resulting in favorable postoperative outcomes.

The clinical, myopathological, and molecular characteristics of 26 Chinese patients with dysferlinopathy: a high proportion of misdiagnosis and novel variants.

Background: Dysferlinopathy is an autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy caused by pathogenic variants in the dysferlin (DYSF) gene. This disease shows heterogeneous clinical phenotypes and genetic characteristics.

Methods: We reviewed the clinical and pathological data as well as the molecular characteristics of 26 Chinese patients with dysferlinopathy screened by immunohistochemistry staining and pathogenic variants in DYSF genes.

In vivo antiviral effect of plant essential oils against avian infectious bronchitis virus.

Background: Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) leads to huge economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. The high levels of mutations of IBV render vaccines partially protective. Therefore, it is urgent to explore an effective antiviral drug or agent.

Soil aggregate stability and its response to overland flow in successive Eucalyptus plantations in subtropical China.

Soil aggregates constitute the basic units of the soil structure, and soil aggregate stability is an important indicator of soil erodibility. Successive planting of fast-growing plantations can change the erosion resistance of the soil under rainfall conditions. Pure Eucalyptus plantations in this study (first- to fourth-generations, i.

Effect of AAV9-hIGF-1 on inflammatory reaction in mdx mice and its mechanism.

This study aimed to the role of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the inflammatory response and the potential mechanism of the effect hIGF1 exerted in muscle inflammation were also been explored. In this study, AAV9, a carrier of the human IGF-1 gene, was injected into mdx mice to observe the role of IGF-1 in DMD. Routine histopathological staining, immunofluorescence and western blot were used to detect the inflammatory response.

Analyses of prevalence and molecular typing of Salmonella in the goose production chain.

This study investigated the prevalence of Salmonella and the molecular typing of all isolates in a goose production chain including hatchery, farm, slaughterhouse, and market. A total of 350 Salmonella isolates was detected from 1,030 samples, and 13 serotypes were recovered. The highest Salmonella contamination frequency was observed at the hatchery, which 51.

Identification of a novel SGCA missense mutation in a case of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2D with the absence of four sarcoglycan proteins.

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2D (LGMD2D) is caused by mutations in the α-sarcoglycan gene (SGCA). Due to lack of specificity, it is impossible to identify LGMD2D only by clinical symptoms and conventional immunohistochemical staining. The loss of any protein (α-, β-, γ-, δ-sarcoglycan) that represent sarcoglycanopathy may cause reduction or absence of the other three proteins.

[The effect of inhalable titanium dioxide on the oxidative stress among occupational population].

Objective: To investigate the inhalable titanium dioxide exposure level and make an assessment of its oxidative effect on occupational exposed population.

Methods: A total of 7 workers occupationally exposing to inhalable titanium dioxide were recruited into the study. The basic information and occupational history were collected by interview, while their blood sample (10 ml for each subject) were collected before and after the investigation, respectively.
