In the past decade, ecological surveys emphasized rats and dogs as the most significant animal reservoirs for Schistosoma japonicum (S.j) in the Philippines. However, recent studies demonstrated 51-91% prevalence of schistosomiasis among water buffalo using qPCR in the Sj endemic regions in the Philippines.

To clarify the effects of increased density and reduced nitrogen on greenhouse gas emission in double-season paddy fields under the water-saving and simple cultivation mode, we used Luliangyou 996 (early rice) and Fengyuanyou 299 (late rice) as materials to collect greenhouse gas by closed static box method, monitored the dynamics of CH and NO emissions from different combinations of increased density and reduced nitrogen for early and late rice, and explored changes in cumulative CH and NO emissions, global warming potential (GWP) and greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) as affected by different combinations of increased density and reduced nitrogen from double-season rice fields. The results showed that the cumulative emissions of CH and NO from different combinations were significantly different. Compared with the control (CK), cumulative CH emission, GWP and GHGI in the two seasons decreased by 50.

To explore the effects of winter crops recycling into paddy field on soil carbon pool, we cultivated rape, Chinese milk vetch, ryegrass and potato in winter season after harvesting double-season rice, with fallow as control (CK). The contents of soil organic carbon (SOC) and labile organic carbon (LOC) in the harvest of early and late rice were measured, and the stable carbon, activity of carbon pool, carbon pool index, carbon pool activity index and carbon pool management index (CMI) were calculated. Results showed that winter cover crops returning increased SOC content by 1%-8% and 3%-18% after harvest of early rice and late rice, respectively in comparison with CK.

Six field varieties of early rice and late rice were selected as test materials for field experiments to explore the difference in CH emissions among different rice varieties, and Static Obscura-Gas Chromatography was used to determine the CH gas. The results demonstrated a significant difference in the CH emissions flux between early and late rice varieties. The average yield of total fertility CH emissions was highest in Xiangzaoxian 24 and lowest in Zhuliangyou 819, with a difference of 34.

Background: Schistosomiasis japonica is a common zoonosis. Domestic animals are the primary source of infection and play an important role in disease transmission. The prevalence and infectivity of this disease in domestic animals in China have significantly decreased and, for this reason, diagnostics with a higher sensitivity have become increasingly necessary.

To provide support for the efficient use of water and fertilizer technology to double-season rice cultivation, water and fertilizer coupling mode was applied in this research, including two irrigation methods and four N levels. The irrigation methods were flood irrigation and intermittent irrigation, while four N levels were high-N, middle-N, low-N and none-N. Field experiment was conducted to study the effect of water and fertilizer coupling mode on CH4 and N2O emission.

Aim: To detect linc00675 expression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), to analyze the relationship between the expression level of linc00675 and the clinical pathological characteristics, to explore the biological functions of linc00675, and to determine whether linc00675 has independent prognostic value in PDAC.

Methods: We studied linc00675 expression among eight histologically confirmed PDAC tissue samples and four chronic pancreatitis tissue samples through microarray screening. RT-qPCR was conducted to further investigate linc00675 expression in PDAC cell lines as well as archived tissues from a large cohort of PDAC patients.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the pro-apoptotic gene SjBAD in Schistosoma japonicum, assessing its biology, immunology, and potential as a vaccine candidate for schistosomiasis.
  • Researchers successfully cloned and expressed the SjBAD gene in E. coli, producing a recombinant protein with a molecular weight of about 22 kDa that showed good immunogenicity.
  • Vaccination with the recombinant SjBAD protein resulted in significant reductions in both worm and liver egg counts in BALB/c mice, indicating its potential effectiveness as a vaccine against schistosomiasis.

Aim: To analyze RASSF6 expression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and to determine whether RASSF6 has an independent prognostic value in PDAC.

Methods: We studied RASSF6 expression in 96 histologically confirmed PDAC samples and 20 chronic pancreatitis specimens using immunohistochemistry and real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. PDAC issues were then classified as RASSF6 strongly positive, weakly positive or negative.

Methane and nitrous oxide emission fluxes of rice cultivars in the double cropping rice fields were measured by static chamber-gas chromatography in field experiments. The results showed a single-peak pattern in seasonal variations of methane emission and a double-peak pattern in variations of nitrous oxide emission for the early season rice, and a single-peak pattern in variations of both methane and nitrous oxide emission for the late season rice. There was significant difference among the rice cultivars in the average emission fluxes of methane and nitrous oxide during the whole growing season.
