Biocontrol potential of endophytic bacterium GS-16 against tea anthracnose caused by .

Background: As one of the main pathogens causing tea anthracnose disease, has brought immeasurable impact on the sustainable development of agriculture. Given the adverse effects of chemical pesticides to the environment and human health, biological control has been a focus of the research on this pathogen. GS-16, which was isolated from healthy tea leaves, had exhibited strong antagonistic activity against tea anthracnose disease.

Multitask Attention-Based Neural Network for Intraoperative Hypotension Prediction.

Timely detection and response to Intraoperative Hypotension (IOH) during surgery is crucial to avoid severe postoperative complications. Although several methods have been proposed to predict IOH using machine learning, their performance still has space for improvement. In this paper, we propose a ResNet-BiLSTM model based on multitask training and attention mechanism for IOH prediction.

Isopropoxy Tetramethyl Dioxaborolane on TiO: Reaction Pathway and Formation of a Visible-Light-Sensitive Photocatalyst.

Borate toxicity is a concern in agriculture since a high level of borates may likely exist in irrigation water systems. In this research, transmission infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy are employed to study the thermal and photochemical reactions of isopropoxy tetramethyl dioxaborolane (ITDB) on TiO, with the aid of density functional theory calculations. In addition, the possibility for the formation of a boron-modified TiO (B/TiO) surface, using ITDB as the boron source, is explored and the photocatalytic activity of the B/TiO is tested.

Discovery of 1,4-Benzodiazepine-2,5-dione (BZD) Derivatives as Dual Nucleotide Binding Oligomerization Domain Containing 1/2 (NOD1/NOD2) Antagonists Sensitizing Paclitaxel (PTX) To Suppress Lewis Lung Carcinoma (LLC) Growth in Vivo.

Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors (NLRs) are intracellular sensors of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Previously, we reported nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 1 (NOD1) antagonists (11, 12) and a NOD2 antagonist (9) that sensitized docetaxel (DTX) or paclitaxel (PTX) treatment for breast or lung cancer. In this article, we describe for the first time a 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-dione (BZD) derivative (26bh) that acts as a dual NOD1/NOD2 antagonist and inhibits both nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inflammatory signaling, thereby sensitizing PTX to suppress Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) growth.

Improved neuronal survival of focal ischemia after delipid extracorporeal lipoprotein treatment in hyperlipidemic rabbits.

A delipid extracorporeal lipoprotein filter (DELP) system has been used to treat patients with stroke and has shown favorable prognosis. However, the mechanism for the neuronal functional recovery remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the neuronal histological assessment, and the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) after ischemic stroke following DELP treatment.
