Stretchable Thermochromic Fluorescent Fibers Based on Self-Crystallinity Phase Change for Smart Wearable Displays.

Smart fibers with tunable luminescence properties, as a new form of visual output, present the potential to revolutionize personal living habits in the future and are receiving more and more attention. However, a huge challenge of smart fibers as wearable materials is their stretching capability for seamless integration with the human body. Herein, stretchable thermochromic fluorescent fibers are prepared based on self-crystallinity phase change, using elastic polyurethane (PU) as the fiber matrix, to meet the dynamic requirements of the human body.

Cecal Microbial Diversity and Metabolome Reveal a Reduction in Growth Due to Oxidative Stress Caused by a Low-Energy Diet in Donkeys.

Dietary energy level plays an important role in animal growth and development. The present study investigated the effect of dietary energy on the growth performance, antioxidative state, and nutrient digestion of meat donkeys. It simultaneously explored the probable reason for cecal microbiota and metabolome.

Network toxicology and molecular docking to investigative the non-acetylcholinesterase mechanisms and targets of cardiotoxicity injury induced by organophosphorus pesticides.

Background: Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) are widely used in the world, however, OPP poisoning often occurs because of improper use and lack of protective measures. Cardiotoxicity injury induced by OPPs is insidious, and it does not receive attention until the end stage of OPP poisoning. Heart failure or arrhythmia gradually becomes the main lethal cause of OPP poisoning patients.

QTL detection and candidate gene identification of for cold tolerance in the Yunnan plateau landrace rice.

Unlabelled: Cold stress is one of the main abiotic stresses that affects rice growth and production worldwide. Dissection of the genetic basis is important for genetic improvement of cold tolerance in rice. In this study, a new source of cold-tolerant accession from the Yunnan plateau, Lijiangxiaoheigu, was used as the donor parent and crossed with a cold-sensitive cultivar, Deyou17, to develop recombinant inbred lines (RILs) for quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis for cold tolerance at the early seedling and booting stages in rice.

Study on the detection rate, genetic polymorphism, viral load, persistent infection capacity, and pathogenicity of human papillomavirus type 81.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 81 has recently become one of the most common low-risk HPV types; however, literature focusing on it is limited. This study aimed to analyze the reasons for the increased detection rate of HPV81 and investigate its evolving pathogenicity. We analyzed the detection rates and trends of HPV81 in 229 061 exfoliated cervical cell samples collected from 2014 to 2023; collected samples of HPV81 single infections from two different time periods; and analyzed the allele frequencies, positive selection, viral load, persistent infection capacity, and pathogenicity of E6 and E7 genotypes.

Deep learning for colorectal cancer detection in contrast-enhanced CT without bowel preparation: a retrospective, multicentre study.

Background: Contrast-enhanced CT scans provide a means to detect unsuspected colorectal cancer. However, colorectal cancers in contrast-enhanced CT without bowel preparation may elude detection by radiologists. We aimed to develop a deep learning (DL) model for accurate detection of colorectal cancer, and evaluate whether it could improve the detection performance of radiologists.

Effects of Dietary Selenium Yeast Supplementation on Lactation Performance, Antioxidant Status, and Immune Responses in Lactating Donkeys.

Donkey milk is a traditional medicinal food with various biological activities. However, its production is very low, and lactating donkeys often experience oxidative stress, leading to a further decline in milk yield. In this study, we supplemented the diets of lactating donkeys with yeast selenium (SY) to investigate its effects on lactation performance, antioxidant status, and immune responses, and we expected to determine the optimum additive level of SY in the diet.

An interfacial C-S bond bridged S-scheme ZnS/CN for photocatalytic H evolution: Opposite internal-electric-field of ZnS/CN, increased field strength, and accelerated surface reaction.

An interfacial C-S bond bridged ZnS/CN heterojunction was constructed for photocatalytic H evolution. Different from traditional type-II ZnS/CN heterojunction, the electron transfer followed S-scheme pathway, due to opposite internal-electric-field (IEF) directions in these two heterojunctions. The C-S bond formation was carefully investigated, and they were susceptive to the preparation temperatures.

Intestinal Microbiota Community and Blood Fatty Acid Profiles of Albas Cashmere Goats Fed with Flaxseed Oil and Whole Flaxseed.

The present study investigated the effects of flaxseed oil or flaxseed grain on the intestinal microbiota and blood fatty acid profiles of Albas cashmere goats. Sixty kid goats were allocated to three treatments and fed for 90 days with a control treatment, comprising a basal diet (CON, total-mixed ration with flaxseed meal), or experimental treatments, comprising a basal diet with added flaxseed oil (LNO) and a basal diet with added heated flaxseed grain (HLS). On day 90, two goats were randomly selected from each pen (eight goats per treatment) for euthanizing; then, five of the eight goats were randomly selected, and we collected their intestinal (duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, and colon) digesta for analysis of the bacteria community.

Plant Extracts to Alleviating Heat Stress in Dairy Cows.

Heat stress (HS) in cows is a critical issue in the dairy industry. Dairy cows accumulate heat from body metabolism, along with that imposed by air temperature, humidity, air flow and solar radiation. HS in animals can occur during hot and humid summers when the ambient temperature is extremely high.

A Single Intranasal Dose of Bacterial Therapeutics to Calves Confers Longitudinal Modulation of the Nasopharyngeal Microbiota: a Pilot Study.

To address the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens in livestock, microbiome-based strategies are increasingly being sought to reduce antimicrobial use. Here, we describe the effects of intranasal application of bacterial therapeutics (BTs) on the bovine respiratory microbiota and used structural equation modeling to investigate the causal networks after BT application. Beef cattle received (i) an intranasal cocktail of previously characterized BT strains, (ii) an injection of metaphylactic antimicrobial (tulathromycin), or (iii) intranasal saline.

RNA-seq reveals transcriptional differences in anthocyanin and vitamin biosynthetic pathways between black and white rice.

Anthocyanins and vitamins in black rice are the micronutrients vital to human health, both of which predominantly accumulate in the bran fraction. Some studies have demonstrated that black rice contains more vitamins compared with common white rice, indicating potential association between anthocyanin and vitamin accumulation. In this study, transcriptomes of pericarps collected from 27 black rice accessions and 49 white rice accessions at 10 days after flowering (DAF) were sequenced and analyzed.

Effect of Varying Dietary Crude Protein Level on Milk Production, Nutrient Digestibility, and Serum Metabolites by Lactating Donkeys.

Donkey milk is considered as a functional food due to its high levels of whey protein, and can be used in newborn nutrition, due to the nutritional similarities with human milk and its hypoallergenic property. However, donkey milk yield is very low and little is known about improving donkey milk yield by nutrition manipulation. The effect of dietary crude protein (CP) levels on milk production, nutrient digestibility, and serum metabolites was investigated in the current study.

Molecular Classification and Overcoming Therapy Resistance for Acute Myeloid Leukemia with Adverse Genetic Factors.

The European LeukemiaNet (ELN) criteria define the adverse genetic factors of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML with adverse genetic factors uniformly shows resistance to standard chemotherapy and is associated with poor prognosis. Here, we focus on the biological background and real-world etiology of these adverse genetic factors and then describe a strategy to overcome the clinical disadvantages in terms of targeting pivotal molecular mechanisms.
