In this study, the rat models of severe hypothermia induced by seawater immersion were established in artificial seawater immersion at 15°C for 5 hours. With the rewarming measurement of 37°C water bath, the rewarming effects were evaluated by monitoring basic vital signs and dynamically detecting intestinal inflammation cytokines. Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups including the control group (group C), hypothermia group (group H), 2-hour rewarming group (group R2), 6-hour rewarming group (group R6), and 12-hour rewarming group (group R12), with 10 in each group. The basic vital signs of rats (i.e., core temperature, respiration, heart rate, and muscle tremor) were constantly recorded. The inflammatory factors were detected in the intestinal tissue via a protein chip GSR-CAA-67 of Innopsys, and the verification by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The levels of cytokines (interleukin IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10) were detected from blood samples collected at the end of the observation period via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression landscape of IL-1β in the intestinal tissue was validated by immunohistochemistry. Five hours of immersion in artificial seawater at 15°C successfully induced severe hypothermia of rats. After 2 hours of constant water bath rewarming at 37°C, the basic vital signs recovered to the normal level and maintained stably as well as the acute inflammatory reaction alleviated effectively, which indicated that 37°C of water immersion rewarming had the potential to be a suitable method for early treatment of water immersion hypothermia. After the process of hypothermia, several inflammatory cytokines of rats in rewarming groups changed distinctly with IL-1β, showing the most significant variations compared with group C, which confirmed IL-1β as a potential monitoring biomarker referring to the therapeutic effect of rewarming for severe hypothermia caused by seawater immersion.

Exercise capacity after long-term physical activity on prescription provided by physiotherapists.

Scand J Prim Health Care

Unit of Physiotherapy, Department of Health and Rehabilitation, Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden.

Research has shown that physical activity on prescription (PAP), used in Swedish healthcare, increases patients' physical activity, but data are lacking regarding the long-term effects of PAP on exercise capacity. Therefor exercise capacity was evaluated in patients with metabolic risk factors, after 4.5 years of PAP treatment provided by physiotherapists in primary healthcare.

Purpose: This study aimed to initially test whether machine learning approaches could categorically predict two simple biological features, mouse age and mouse species, using the retinal segmentation metrics.

Methods: The retinal layer thickness data obtained from C57BL/6 and DBA/2J mice were processed for machine learning after segmenting mouse retinal SD-OCT scans. Twenty-two models were trained to predict the mouse groups.

Novel Collector of a Dodecylpyridinium Chloride Ionic Liquid in the Reverse Flotation Separation of Muscovite from Apatite.

Key Laboratory of Green Utilization of Critical Non-Metallic Mineral Resources of Ministry of Education, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China.

Reverse flotation separation of muscovite from apatite using a dodecylpyridinium chloride (DPDC) ionic liquid as the collector was studied in this work. The microflotation results depicted that DPDC had a strong collecting for muscovite but had a slight collecting for apatite when using phosphoric acid as a depressant for apatite in a weakly acidic pH value pulp, artificial mixture mineral flotation showed that reverse flotation separation of muscovite from apatite can be effectively achieved in the reagent scheme of phosphoric acid/DPDC, and DPDC had a better separation performance in the muscovite/apatite system than DDA. The adsorption measurements indicated that the adsorption amount of DPDC on the apatite surface was less than that of DPDC on the muscovite surface, and the zeta potential results confirmed that a strong interaction occurred between DPDC and the muscovite surface, while an extremely weak interaction occurred between DPDC and the apatite surface in the presence of phosphoric acid at pH ∼ 5.

Rats and mice rapidly update timed behaviors.

Keeping track of time intervals is a crucial aspect of behavior and cognition. Many theoretical models of how the brain times behavior make predictions for steady-state performance of well-learned intervals, but the rate of learning intervals in these models varies greatly, ranging from one-shot learning to learning over thousands of trials. Here, we explored how quickly rats and mice adapt to changes in interval durations using a serial fixed-interval task.
