The effects of Acremonium terricola culture (ATC) on production performance, serum biochemical parameters, egg quality and amino acid contents in the yolk of eggs of Beijing You-chicken were conducted in the current study. A total of 216 Beijing You-chickens (330 days old) were randomly divided into 2 groups. The control group (CON) was fed a corn-soybean-based diet, and the experimental group was fed a basal diet supplemented with 0.

Introduction: Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) have been proven to aggravate asthma pathogenesis. We previously demonstrated that concurrent exposure to house dust mite (HDM) and DEP in mice increases both eosinophils and neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and also results in higher levels of neutrophil-recruiting chemokines and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation compared to sole HDM, sole DEP or saline exposure. We aimed to evaluate whether treatment with anti-IL-5 can alleviate the asthmatic features in this mixed granulocytic asthma model.

Purpose: Liquid biopsy technology has received widespread attention in the early diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
Methods: We collected bile samples from 48 patients with CCA and 48 patients with gallstones at Shandong Provincial third Hospital. We quantified bile circulating free DNA (cfDNA) of syncytin-1 and SLC7A11, calculated the correlation between syncytin-1 and SLC7A11 expression and clinical parameters by Spearman rank correlation, plotted Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves, and compared the Area Under Curve (AUC) values to explored early diagnostic utility in patients.

The abundance of chemical elements in the blood of horses can indicate the physiological balance, health of animal as well as can be taken as an indicator of environmental pollution. The aim of this work was to analyse haematological, biochemical parameters, TOS, FRAP, SOD, Gpx, TAS and their correlations with concentrations of essential and risk elements in blood of horses stabled in two different locations: The National Stud Farm Topoľčianky (n = 11; 11 stallions, consisting of the breeds 6 Lipizzan, 3 Slovak warmblood, 2 Holsteiner) and Experimental Centre at Institute of Animal Husbandry, SUA in Nitra (n = 10; 4 stallions, 5 geldings, 1 mare, 4 stallions, 5 geldings and 1 mare, consisting of the breeds 3 Slovak warmblood, 4 Czech warmblood, 3 Holsteiner). Blood samples were obtained from horses (n = 21) from two localities in the Slovak Republic during May.

Membrane incompatibility poses significant health risks, including severe complications and potential fatality. Surface modification of membranes has emerged as a pivotal technology in the membrane industry, aiming to improve the hemocompatibility and performance of dialysis membranes by mitigating undesired membrane-protein interactions, which can lead to fouling and subsequent protein adsorption. Affinity energy, defined as the strength of interaction between membranes and human serum proteins, plays a crucial role in assessing membrane-protein interactions.
