Distribution of tripeptidyl peptidase I (TPPI) activity in the structures of porcine lumbar spinal ganglia (LSG) was studied by enzyme histochemistry on cryostat sections from all the ganglia using the substrate glycyl-L-prolyl-L-methionyl-5-chloro-1-anthraquinonyl hydrazide (GPM-CAH) and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (NBA) as visualization factor. Light microscopic observations showed TPPI activity in almost all the LSG structures. The enzyme reaction in different cell types was compared semi-quantitatively. Strong reaction was observed in the small neurons, satellite ganglia cells and some nerve fibers. Weak reactivity was found in the large sensory somatic neurons, whereas moderate reaction for TPPI was determined in the middle sensory somatic neurons and some nerve fibers. Statistical analysis by one-way ANOVA showed no significance of difference (when p⟨0.05) for the number of TPPI positive neurons per mm2. The original data obtained by the enzyme histochemistry method give us a reason to presume that TPPI actively participates in the functions of all the neuronal structures in porcine LSG. According to our results, it could be suggested that TPPI activity is important for the functions of autonomic and somatic sensory neurons.

At present, related research on inhibitors has been gradually improved, but there is still a lack of research on the inhibition characteristics at specific release temperatures and the mechanism of inhibiting coal spontaneous combustion. Based on this, In this study, the inhibition characteristics of adding inhibitor to coal under critical temperature (R70) are studied in depth. In the experiment, lignite was selected as the research object, and four different types of inhibitors, MgCl, triphenyl phosphite (TPPI), Phytic acid (PA), and melatonin, were applied to coal samples at room temperature and 70 °C, respectively.

T-cell receptors (TCRs) are formed by random recombination of genomic precursor elements, some of which mediate the recognition of cancer-associated antigens. Due to the complicated process of T-cell immune response and limited biological empirical evidence, the practical strategy for identifying TCRs and their recognized peptides is the computational prediction from population and/or individual TCR repertoires. In recent years, several machine/deep learning-based approaches have been proposed for TCR-peptide binding prediction.

In order to reduce the risk of spontaneous combustion of coal left after long-term flooding in the goaf of the mine, in this paper, the inhibitory properties of different inhibitors on two kinds of water-immersed coals with different metamorphic degrees were studied in depth. The experiment selected Pingzhuang brown coal and Shaqu coking coal as research objects. The raw coal and water-immersed coal samples were compared and analyzed by thermogravimetric experiment method and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy experiment method.

Tripeptidyl peptidase II (TPPII or TPP2) degrades N-terminal tripeptides from proteins and peptides. Studies in both humans and mice have shown that TPPII deficiency is linked to cellular immune-senescence, lifespan regulation and the aging process. However, the mechanism of how TPPII participates in these processes is less clear.
