Alkaline phosphatase is one of the most important tool enzymes and diseases indicator, monitoring ALP activity with convenient, precise, efficient and sensitive methods plays a fundamental role in modern life and healthcare industries. In this study, we described a novel method for ALP analysis based on Pb dependent DNAzyme. By modifying DNAzyme sequence with terminal phosphate group and introducing exonuclease I (exo I), we managed to analyze ALP by utilizing its causal function of DNAzyme probe from exo I mediated degradation and function of triggering the subsequent cleavage of the hairpin reporting probe. Other than one amplificative strategy by DNAzyme mediated cleavage and cycle, this system also involved an exo I mediated degradation to further reduce the background noise. Combining stepwise fluorimetry and electrophoresis, we verified the detective mechanism of this proposed method. Further, after selectivity demonstration, this method achieved a considerable LOD of 0.0017 U L and linear range of 0.0025 U L to 250 U L. For potential of practical application, this method also exhibited excellent performances in inhibitor screening and intracellular ALP assay, both with a linear fitting equation. Based on these results, this method should be highly committed for improving ALP analysis in modern life industry.

Melatonin (MT), an endogenous hormone secreted by pineal gland, has the sedative, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant functions. However, there are few studies on whether MT affects the proliferation and differentiation of antler chondrocytes. The present study investigated the influences of MT on the proliferation and differentiation of antler chondrocytes, explored its regulation on runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), NOTCH1 and sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling, and elucidated their interplays.

Background: Senility influences fertility in women and companion animals, especially horses.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of aging in horses on the daily changes in the dominant follicle (DF) dynamics and hemodynamics, antimüllerian hormone (AMH), enzymes, antioxidants, and ovarian hormones during the estrous cycle.

Methods: Ovaries of old mares ( = 5, age >20 years) and young native mares ( = 6, age <10 years) were scanned during 6 different estrous cycles from March 2022 to August 2023 with Doppler ultrasound.

Background: Anti-mitochondrial M2 antibody (AMA-M2) is a specific marker for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and it could be also presented in non-PBC individuals.

Methods: A total of 72173 Chinese health check-up individuals tested AMA-M2, of which non-PBC AMA-M2 positive individuals were performed follow-up. Baseline data of both clinical characteristics and laboratory examinations were collected in all AMA-M2-positive individuals.
