Mid-term efficacy of non-contact orthopedic robot navigation in the treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis.

Objective: This study was aimed to explore the mid-term efficacy of non-contact orthopedic robot navigation in the treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis.

Methods: The clinical data of young and middle-aged patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis were retrospectively analyzed and divided into an observation group and a control group according to surgical methods. The observation group was treated with minimally invasive transforaminal interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) combined with orthopedic robot-navigated percutaneous pedicle screw fixation; while the control group underwent traditional posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF).

Tip60-mediated Rheb acetylation links palmitic acid with mTORC1 activation and insulin resistance.

Excess dietary intake of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) induces glucose intolerance and metabolic disorders. In contrast, unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) elicit beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity. However, it remains elusive how SFAs and UFAs signal differentially toward insulin signaling to influence glucose homeostasis.

Clinical application of the free superficial palmar branch of radial artery flap for soft-tissue reconstruction of distal digital injury.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to retrospect and summarize clinical efficiency and experience of the free superficial palmar branch of radial artery (SPBRA) flap for soft-tissue reconstruction in distal digital injury.

Method: 13 patients with soft-tissue defect of finger, reconstructed by the free superficial palmar branch of radial artery (SPBRA) flap in our department from January 2020 to January 2022, were reviewed. After 6-12 months of follow-up, evaluated the treatment effect of the fingers reconstructed by SPBRA flap.

Interleukin-26 in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus): Molecular characterization and immune functional activity.

IL-26 is a crucial inflammatory cytokine that participates in defending host cells against infections. We initially cloned and identified the cDNA sequences of interleukin (IL)-26 in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus). The open reading frame (ORF) of IpIL-26 was 537 bp in length, encoding 178 amino acids (aa).

A modified withdrawal time estimation and risk assessment of enrofloxacin in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) after ad libitum medicated feed based on statistical approaches in natural cultured environments.

Enrofloxacin (EF) is a broad-spectrum and highly efficient antibiotic commonly used for treating diseases in aquatic animals. However, its abuse in aquaculture applications often leads to excess residue in tissues of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Hence, this study aimed to estimate the withdrawal time (WT) of EF and its metabolite of ciprofloxacin (CF) administered medicated feed in natural culture environments and conduct a risk assessment.

Effects of respiratory muscle training on post-stroke rehabilitation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Stroke often results in significant respiratory dysfunction in patients. Respiratory muscle training (RMT) has been proposed as a rehabilitative intervention to address these challenges, but its effectiveness compared to routine training remains debated. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate the effects of RMT on exercise tolerance, muscle strength, and pulmonary function in post-stroke patients.

Effects of dietary supplementation with heat-killed Lactobacillus acidophilus on growth performance, digestive enzyme activity, antioxidant capacity, and inflammatory response of juvenile large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea).

A ten-week culture trial in juvenile large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) (10.80 ± 0.10 g) was conducted to assess the impact of supplementing heat-killed Lactobacillus acidophilus (HLA) on growth performance, intestinal digestive enzyme activity, antioxidant capacity and inflammatory response.

Yersinia ruckeri Infection and Enteric Redmouth Disease among Endangered Chinese Sturgeons, China, 2022.

During October 2022, enteric redmouth disease (ERM) affected Chinese sturgeons at a farm in Hubei, China, causing mass mortality. Affected fish exhibited characteristic red mouth and intestinal inflammation. Investigation led to isolation of a prominent bacterial strain, zhx1, from the internal organs and intestines of affected fish.

Fraxetin Targeting to Sortase A Decreases the Pathogenicity of to Nile Tilapia.

Sortase A (SrtA) is responsible for anchoring surface proteins to the cell wall, and has been identified as a promising target developing anti-infective drugs of Gram-positive bacteria. The aim of the study was to identify inhibitors of () SrtA from natural compounds to overcome the spread of antibiotic resistance in aquaculture. Here, we found that the MIC of fraxetin against was higher than 256 μg/mL, indicating that fraxetin had no anti- activity.

Large-Area Near-Infrared Emission Enhancement on Single Upconversion Nanoparticles by Metal Nanohole Array.

Single lanthanide (Ln) ion doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) exhibit great potential for biomolecule sensing and counting. Plasmonic structures can improve the emission efficiency of single UCNPs by modulating the energy transferring process. Yet, achieving robust and large-area single UCNP emission modulation remains a challenge, which obstructs investigation and application of single UCNPs.

AEcroscopy: A Software-Hardware Framework Empowering Microscopy Toward Automated and Autonomous Experimentation.

Microscopy has been pivotal in improving the understanding of structure-function relationships at the nanoscale and is by now ubiquitous in most characterization labs. However, traditional microscopy operations are still limited largely by a human-centric click-and-go paradigm utilizing vendor-provided software, which limits the scope, utility, efficiency, effectiveness, and at times reproducibility of microscopy experiments. Here, a coupled software-hardware platform is developed that consists of a software package termed AEcroscopy (short for Automated Experiments in Microscopy), along with a field-programmable-gate-array device with LabView-built customized acquisition scripts, which overcome these limitations and provide the necessary abstractions toward full automation of microscopy platforms.

Transcriptomic Association Analysis of the Metabolic Mechanism of Sulfamethoxazole in Channel Catfish ().

Sulfamethoxazole is a widely used antimicrobial drug used to treat bacterial diseases in aquaculture. To understand the gene expression in channel catfish liver after treatment with sulfamethoxazole, in this study, the treatment group received sulfamethoxazole (100 mg/kg bw), which was administered orally once, and samples were taken at 5 h, 12 h, and 6 d after the administration of sulfamethoxazole, while the control group was orally administered sterile water. To further identify potentially significant genes, a transcriptome analysis using RNA-seq was carried out.
