Background: The aim of the present survey was to assess thr seroepidemiologic and parasitological aspects of infection in children under 14 yr old.
Methods: Overall, 963 sera were collected from children in the Sistan and Baluchistan Province, Southeast of Iran during the period from Sep 2015 to Jun 2016. IgG antibody against in the subjects' sera was evaluated using the commercial ELISA kit.
Results: Anti- IgG were detected in the serum of 17 (1.7%) of the participants. In the examined children, the highest presence of anti- antibodies was 2.1% (9/418) in 6-10-yr olds, which was higher than other age groups (<0.05). Anti- antibodies were significantly higher in males (2.4% or 12/492) than in females (1.1% or 5/471) (<0.03). Highest serological prevalence of occurred in tribes (5.5% or 4/69), followed by rural areas (0.9% or 7/757), while in the urban area it was 0.1% (6/163) (<0.01). A significant association was seen between the serological prevalence of and laboratory findings such as eosinophilia (=0.001) and red blood cell count (=0.02).
Conclusion: Seroprevalence of infection is high among children living in the poor regions of southeast Iran.

The abrasion of melamine cleaning sponges release microplastic fibers (MPFs) into the environment, yet the potential risks remain unknown. Here, we evaluated the ingestion, elimination, and toxic effects of melamine MPFs on Daphnia magna through acute and chronic exposures. This new type of MPFs displayed different morphology (a combination of linear and branched fibers with a length ranging from 10 to 157 μm) from the widely-studied MPFs released from textiles (longer and thicker linear fibers but no branched fibers).

Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) is a compound known for its natural health benefits, but current detection methods for TMP are overly expensive and time-consuming. In this study, we developed functional materials with TMP molecular recognition properties using molecularly imprinted technology. As TMP does not produce electrochemical signals in the detection potential range, hexacyanoferrate was selected as a redox probe, combined with the highly conductive polymer PEDOT:PSS to enhance electrode conductivity.

Proper chromosome alignment at the spindle equator is a prerequisite for accurate chromosome segregation during cell division. However, the chromosome movement trajectories prior to alignment remain elusive. Here, we established a 4D imaging analysis framework to visualize chromosome dynamics and develop a deep-learning model for chromosome movement trajectory classification.

Monitoring perioperative tissue perfusion is crucial in clinical anesthesia to protect organs and ensure patient safety. Indicators like hemodynamic parameters, tissue metabolism, and microcirculation markers are used for assessment. Studies show intraoperative hypotension negatively impacts outcomes, though blood pressure alone may not reflect tissue perfusion accurately.

Degeneration of cochlear spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) leads to irreversible sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), as SGNs lack regenerative capacity. Although cochlear glial cells (GCs) have some neuronal differentiation potential, their specific identities remain unclear. This study identifies a distinct subpopulation, Frizzled10 positive (FZD10+) cells, as an important type of GC responsible for neuronal differentiation in mouse cochlea.
