The regulatory role of Epinephelus Coioides miR-21 in the infection and replication of iridovirus SGIV.

Iridovirus SGIV is a highly pathogenic virus of fish that can cause more than 90% mortality in Epinephelus coioides, a marine farmed fish in South China. miRNAs can be involved in regulating the development of virus-induced diseases. In this study, SGIV infection could significantly inhibit the expression of E.

Epinephelus coioides Sec3 promotes Singapore grouper iridovirus infection by negatively regulates immune response.

Exocyst, a protein complex, plays a crucial role in various cellular functions, including cell polarization, migration, invasion, cytokinesis, and autophagy. Sec3, known as Exoc1, is a key subunit of the Exocyst complex and can be involved in cell survival and apoptosis. In this study, two subtypes of Sec3 were isolated from Epinephelus coioides, an important marine fish in China.

Alleviating Acute Lung Injury Induced by Lipopolysaccharide: Dayuan Yin Suppresses Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Elderly Male Rats.

Background: The occurrence of acute lung injury (ALI) caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is prevalent and perilous among older individuals. Inflammation and oxidative stress are vital factors in the progression of ALI in this population. Dayuan Yin (DYY) is a classic Chinese herbal formula used for treating pulmonary diseases.

Dynamic elementomics of single-cell ICP-MS-derived signals in normal and calcium pump PMCA4-deficient mouse epididymal sperm during capacitation.

Currently, clinical analysis of male infertility mainly relies on parameters of semen and sperm cells. However, the high diagnostic failure rates indicate that the current assessment methods are not sufficient and a new approach to evaluating sperm function still needs to be developed. Here we explored the feasibility of single-cell inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (sc-ICP-MS)-derived profiles to determine the elemental characteristics in viable capacitated sperm under normal and deficient conditions.

Growth, mortality, and resource utilization of in Langcuo Lake of Tibetan Plateau, China.

To investigate the growth, mortality, and resource utilization of in Langcuo Lake of Tibetan Plateau, we measured body length and body weight of 389 fish based on four sampling surveys from October 2018 to November 2019. We identified the ages through lapillus. Based on frequency distribution of body length, we estimated the growth and mortality coefficients of .

Discovery of Novel Schizocommunin Derivatives as Telomeric G-Quadruplex Ligands That Trigger Telomere Dysfunction and the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Damage Response.

Telomeric G-quadruplex targeting and telomere maintenance interference are emerging as attractive strategies for anticancer therapies. Here, a novel molecular scaffold is explored for telomeric G-quadruplex targeting. A series of novel schizocommunin derivatives was designed and synthesized as potential telomeric G-quadruplex ligands.

Polylactic-co-glycolic acid microspheres containing three neurotrophic factors promote sciatic nerve repair after injury.

A variety of neurotrophic factors have been shown to repair the damaged peripheral nerve. However, in clinical practice, nerve growth factor, neurotrophin-3 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor are all peptides or proteins that may be rapidly deactivated at the focal injury site; their local effective concentration time following a single medication cannot meet the required time for spinal axons to regenerate and cross the glial scar. In this study, we produced polymer sustained-release microspheres based on the polylactic-co-glycolic acid copolymer; the microspheres at 300-μm diameter contained nerve growth factor, neurotrophin-3 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor.

Hydrogen-rich saline injection into the subarachnoid cavity within 2 weeks promotes recovery after acute spinal cord injury.

Hydrogen can relieve tissue-damaging oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis. Injection of hydrogen-rich saline is an effective method for transporting molecular hydrogen. We hypothesized that hydrogen-rich saline would promote the repair of spinal cord injury induced by Allen's method in rats.
