Introduction: Semen cryopreservation is a crucial method for preserving genetic resources and accelerating the breeding process in domestic animals. However, the frozen-thawed process often leads to physical and chemical damage in semen, resulting in oxidative stress that diminishes sperm vitality and fertilization potential. This study aimed to explore the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the quality of frozen-thawed yak semen.

Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) is presently a widely used and very informative technique for the characterization of macromolecules in solution. Beyond the first implementations of SEC-which required cumbersome column calibrations and were mainly intended for the determination of molecular weights-the modern SEC approach involving multiple detectors (md-SEC) is based on solution properties such as intrinsic viscosity and light scattering. Thus, md-SEC enables the direct and more efficient determination of molecular weights, as well as the determination of relationships between property and molecular weight, which can be quite useful in structural studies.

Background: Multidrug-resistant strains of the genus can produce various β-lactamases that confer resistance to a broad spectrum of β-lactams, which poses a significant public health threat due to their emergence and spread in clinical settings and natural environments. Therefore, a comprehensive investigation into the antibiotic resistance mechanisms of is scientifically significant.
Methods: Between 2018 and 2021, 78 clinical isolates were collected from human clinical specimens.

Background: The ongoing post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) epidemic, causing complications of diverse etiology, necessitates the search for new diagnostic markers and the development of widely accessible methods for their detection. This would enable the prognosis of PCS progression and faster implementation of targeted treatments. One potential marker is neutrophil elastase (NE), whose elevated levels in the blood during PCS may result from organ damage caused by increased secretion of severe inflammatory mediators or amyloidosis resulting from the interaction of NE with SARS-CoV-2.

The application of pesticides may have significant impacts on soil environment and communities. In order to understand the deep relationship between the application of chlormequat chloride (CC) and the bacterial community in peanut soil, high-resolution characterization was performed using peanut soil samples (12 points; 0-20 cm rhizosphere soil) from untreated and sprayed with different concentrations of CC. Experimental data showed that with the increase of concentration, operational taxonomic units (OTUs) richness showed a decreasing tendency.
