Objective: To study the effect of stigma maydis polysaccharide (SMPS) on gastrointestinal movement.
Method: Taking charcoal as the indicator and taking ratio of charcoal movement, beginning time of black excretion and stool amount as the index to observe the effect of SMPS on intestinal movement in mice. Taking emthylorange as the indicator and taking the ratio of residual rate of methylorange as the index to observe the effect of SMPS on gastric emptying in mice. Taking methylene blue as the indicator and taking the time of gastric emptying and movement speed of intestinal content as the index to observe the effect of SMPS on gastrointestinal movement in rats. Observing the changes of cholecystokinin (CCK) level in plasm in rats.
Result: Compared with control, the ratio of charcoal movement increased in mice (P <0.01). The beginning time of black excretion shortened and the stool amount increased in mice (P <0.01). The ratio of residual rate of methylorange increased in mice (P <0. 01). The time of gastric emptying prolonged in rats (P <0.01). The movement speed of intestinal content in rats accelerated (P <0.01). CCK level in plasm increased in rats (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Effects of stigma maydis polysaccharide on gastrointestinal movement are probably related to the increasing of CCK level in plasm.

In recent years, the toxicity of microplastics (MPs) in combination with heavy metals, particularly the influence of varying microplastic sizes on their toxic effects, has attracted widespread attention. In this study, red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkia) were exposed to MPs of two particle sizes (S-MPs: 5 μm, 1 mg/L; and L-MPs: 100 μm, 1 mg/L) and Cu (5 mg/L) individually or in combination for 96 h. The accumulation patterns of MPs were as follows: gills > intestines > hepatopancreas > muscles.

Airborne particulate matter (PM) in urban environments poses significant health risks by penetrating the respiratory system, with concern over lung-deposited surface area (LDSA) as an indicator of particle exposure. This study aimed to investigate the diurnal trends and sources of LDSA, particle number concentration (PNC), elemental carbon (EC), and organic carbon (OC) concentrations in Los Angeles across different seasons to provide a comprehensive understanding of the contributions from primary and secondary sources of ultrafine particles (UFPs). Hourly measurements of PNC and LDSA were conducted using the DiSCmini and Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS), while OC and EC concentrations were measured using the Sunset Lab EC/OC Monitor.

Background: Shared micromobility programs (SMPs) are integral to urban transport in US cities, providing sustainable transit options. Increased use has raised safety concerns, notably about helmet usage among e-scooter and e-bicycle riders. Prior studies have shown that head and upper extremity injuries have risen with SMP adoption, yet data on helmet use remains sparse.

Article Synopsis
- The pairing of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is essential for successful sexual reproduction, with the sme2 RNA playing a crucial role in facilitating this pairing through phase separation.
- Various RNA-binding proteins aggregate at the sme2 locus, forming complexes necessary for robust homologous chromosome pairing during meiosis.
- Experiments show that specific RNA species within these protein condensates influence their properties, impacting the physical characteristics that support effective chromosome pairing.
