Identification and odor exposure regulation of odorant-binding proteins in .

The highly developed sensitive olfactory system is essential for Scott (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) adults, an widely distributed natural predatory enemy, to locate host plants. During this process, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to have significant involvement in the olfactory recognition. However, the roles of OBPs in the olfactory perception of are not frequently reported.

N, P co-doped graphite felt cathode for efficient removal of ciprofloxacin in an ascorbic acid-coupled electro-Fenton process: Simultaneously enhancing HO generation and Fe/Fe cycling.

To enhance the contaminant removal efficiency of the electro-Fenton (E-Fenton) process, a nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped graphite felt (NPGF) cathode was synthesized using an anodic oxidation technique. An ascorbic acid-coupled NPGF E-Fenton system was then established for the degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP). The NPGF cathode featured abundant oxygen-containing functional groups (such as -COOH and -OH), which enhanced the selectivity of oxygen reduction and facilitated the formation of HO.

Gastrodin reduces Aβ brain levels in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model by inhibiting P-glycoprotein ubiquitination.

Background: Studies have demonstrated the potential of gastrodin in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), however, its mechanism of action remains elusive. Currently, the Amyloid-β (Aβ) cascade hypothesis continues to be the prevailing theory regarding AD etiology. The ubiquitination of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) contributes to the accumulation of Aβ in the brain during AD.

Neutrophil-derived IL-10 increases CVB3-induced acute pancreatitis pathology via suppressing CD8T cell activation while increasing macrophage STAT3-IL-6 cascade.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a lethal inflammatory disease of the pancreas. Its pathogenesis remains obscure and specific treatments are lacking. An increase in Interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the early stage of AP patients is closely related to AP severity.

Triglyceride-glucose index predicts sepsis-associated acute kidney injury and length of stay in sepsis: A MIMIC-IV cohort study.

Background: Inflammation and stress response may be related to the occurrence of sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) in patients with sepsis.Insulin resistance (IR) is closely related to the stress response, inflammatory response, immune response and severity of critical diseases. We assume that the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, an alternative indicator for IR, is associated with the occurrence of SA-AKI in patients with sepsis.

Perfect cooperative pest control via nano-pesticide and natural predator: High predation selectivity and negligible toxicity toward predatory stinkbug.

The improper use of synthetic pesticides has caused adverse effects on global ecosystems and human health. As a part of sustainable pest management strategy, natural predators, along with nano-pesticides, have made significant contributions to ecological agriculture. The cooperative application of both approaches may overcome their limitations, substantially reducing pesticide application while controlling insect pests efficiently.

Substitution of organic and bio-organic fertilizers for mineral fertilizers to suppress nitrous oxide emissions from intensive vegetable fields.

To gain insight into the microbial mechanisms associated with the replacement of chemical fertilizers with organic or bio-organic fertilizers to mitigate soil nitrous oxide (NO) emissions, we measured NO emissions from greenhouse vegetable soils through field observations and pot experiments. Results showed that organic substitution suppressed NO emissions by reducing soil mineral N content and stimulating the abundance of the nosZII gene. The trade-off effect of bio-organic substitution on NO emissions may be due to the stimulated activity of the AOA-amoA gene, resulting in unfavorable conditions for NO production and thus reduced NO loss.

Mechanisms of interaction between metal-organic framework-based material and persulfate in degradation of organic contaminants (OCs): Activation, reactive oxygen generation, conversion, and oxidation.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based materials have been of great public interest in persulfate (PS)-based catalytic oxidation for wastewater purification, because of their excellent performance and selectiveness in organic contaminants (OCs) removal in complex water environments. The formation, fountainhead and reaction mechanism of reactive oxygen species (ROSs) in PS-based catalytic oxidation are crucial for understanding the principles of PS activation and the degradation mechanism of OCs. In the paper, we presented the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of MOFs-based materials for PS activation, including the relationship of structure and removal efficiency, active sites and ROSs as well as OCs.

Ovariectomy induces hyperalgesia accompanied by upregulated estrogen receptor α and protein kinase B in the rat spinal cord.

Hormone supplementation is one of the common therapies for menopause-related disorders. Among different tools, the ovariectomy (OVX) rodents are widely accepted as an appropriate menopausal pain model. Our previous study has showed that OVX produces a significant pain facilitation in both acute pain and tonic pain, however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

The TOFr of 0.75 to 0.85 is the optimal timing for IONM during thyroid surgery: a prospective observational cohort study.

Backgroud: Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is one of the serious complications of thyroid tumour surgery, surgical treatment of thyroid cancer requires careful consideration of the RLN and its impact on glottis function. There has been no unified standard for precise neuromuscular block monitoring to guide the monitoring of RLN in thyroid surgery. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between Train-of-four stabilization ratio (TOFr) and neural signal values of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (INOM) during thyroid operation, and further to determine the optimal timing for INOM during thyroid operation.
