Unveiling the nexus between rural population aging, technical efficiency, and carbon emissions in Chinese agriculture.

Introduction: According to the seventh national population census in China, the proportion of people aged 65 and above in the population reached 13.5%. The aging trend is more pronounced in rural areas, indicating that China has entered an aging society.

Knocking Down lncRNA HOXA-AS2 Mitigates the Progression of Epilepsy via Regulation of the miR-372-3p/STAT3 Axis.

Aim: To explore the potential activity of HOXA cluster antisense RNA 2 (HOXA-AS2), a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), in epilepsy progression, as well as the mechanisms behind its activity.

Material And Methods: Kainic acid (KA) was used to treat rat astroglial CTX-TNA2 cells to establish a cellular model of epilepsy. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was conducted to examine the expression levels of HOXA-AS2, microRNA (miR)-372-3p and STAT3.

LncRNA SNHG15 mediates 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP)-induced neuronal damage through targeting miR-29c-3p/SNCA axis.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the elderly people. Long non-coding ribose nucleic acids (LncRNAs) can serve as molecular sponges for micro RNA (miRNA) and regulate gene expression, which is implicated in the occurrence and progression of PD. In this work, we investigated the functional role of lncRNA SNHG15 in a neuronal damage cell model and its potential mechanism.

Characteristics of poly-silicate aluminum sulfate prepared by sol method and its application in Congo red dye wastewater treatment.

A novel method for synthesizing poly-silicate aluminum sulfate coagulant (PSAS) using a silica-alumina sol was reported. Herein, two modalities (SiO/NaO: 1.11 and 3.

Knockdown of small nucleolar RNA host gene 10 (SNHG10) alleviates the injury of human neuroblastoma cells via the miR-1277-5p/insulin substrate receptor 2 axis.

Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disease with a complex physio-pathology. So far, there is no effective medical strategies to prevent the progression of Parkinson's disease. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the progression of Parkinson's disease could provide insights into the formulation of novel preventative or treatment strategies.

Enhancing Cell Performance of Lithium-Rich Manganese-Based Materials via Tailoring Crystalline States of a Coating Layer.

Li-rich Mn-based-layered oxides are considered to be the most felicitous cathode material candidates for commercial application of lithium-ion batteries on account of high energy density. Nevertheless, defects containing an unsatisfactory initial Coulombic efficiency and rapid voltage decay seriously impede their practical utilization. Herein, a coating layer with three distinct crystalline states are employed as a coating layer to modify Li[LiMnNiCo]O, respectively, and the effects of coating layers with distinct crystalline states on the crystal structure, diffusion kinetics, and cell performance of host materials are further explored.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor-modified umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell transplantation improves neurological deficits in rats with traumatic brain injury.

This study explored the effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene-modified umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (UCMSC) transplantation on neurological functional improvement in rats after brain trauma. A rat model of cerebral contusion in the motor-sensory cortex was established by the weight hammer-falling method. UCMSCs were cultured and transferred with BDNF gene.

[Expression vector for the inhibitor of growth-1 gene is constructed and the NLS-GFP fusion protein expresses in MRC-5 cells].

Objective: To construct the NLS(ING1)-GFP vector, transfer it into MRC-5 cells and establish a cell model expressing NLS (ING1)-GFP fusion protein.

Methods: Firstly, cDNA fragment of nuclear locating sequence (NLS) of inhibitor of growth-1 gene (ING1) was gained by RT-PCR and inserted into multi-clone site of pEGFP-C1 to construct the NLS (ING1)-GFP expression vector. Then the vector was used to transfect the MRC-5 cells to observe the subcellular signal localization of green fluorescence protein (GFP).
