Purpose: In this study, we investigated skeletal muscle loss and bladder dysfunction caused by high-fat/high-sucrose (HFS) diet.
Methods: Twelve-week-old Sprague-Dawley (SD) female rats were fed on normal (Group N) or HFS (Group HFS) diet for 12 weeks. We conducted urodynamic investigation and pharmacologic in vitro. In addition, we measured gastrocnemius and tibialis muscle weight and protein concentration. The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in the bladder were assayed.
Results: The urodynamic investigations revealed the significantly shorter intercontraction intervals and lower maximal voiding pressure in Group HFS than in Group N. Furthermore, the absolute and relative weights of the gastrocnemius muscle were found to be significantly lower in Group HFS than in Group N. The protein concentration of the gastrocnemius muscle was also significantly lower in Group HFS than in Group N. The absolute and relative weights of the bladder were also significantly lower in Group HFS than in Group N. The contractile responses of the bladder strips to electrical field stimulation and carbachol were significantly lower in Group HFS than in Group N. The HIF1α and 8OHdG in the bladder muscle were significantly higher in Group HFS than in Group N. The HFS diet reduced bladder capacity and contractility along with the loss of the gastrocnemius muscle.
Conclusion: HFS diet promotes bladder dysfunction similar to detrusor hyperreflexia with impaired contractility.

Unlocking the genetic secrets of Dorper sheep: insights into wool shedding and hair follicle development.
Front Vet Sci

Dorper sheep is popular among farming enterprises with strong adaptability, disease resistance, and roughage tolerance, and an unique characteristic of natural shedding of wool. In a large number of observations on experimental sheep farms, it was found that the wool of some sheep still had not shed after May, thus manual shearing was required. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms of normal hair follicles (HFs) development is crucial to revealing the improvement of sheep wool-related traits and mammalian skin-related traits.

Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate the electrophysiological features of hemifacial spasm (HFS) and post-facial paralysis synkinesis (PFPS) that contribute to differential diagnosis.
Methods: This study was designed as a retrospective analysis, focusing on 132 patients diagnosed with HFS and 78 patients with PFPS between May and October 2023. Patient data were collected from existing medical records.

Background: Gut bacterial dysbiosis along with intestinal mucosal disruption plays a critical role in inflammatory disorders like ulcerative colitis. Flavonoids and other food bioactives have been studied in mice models as alternative treatments with minimal side effects. However, most of the research has been carried out with mice-native microbiota, which limits the comprehension of the interaction between flavonoids and human-associated bacteria.

Aims: Although the immune system participates in the development of hypertension, the proportional contributions of distinct immune cells remain poorly understood. With the development of transcriptomics, we can profile the transcriptomes of individual immune cells and assess the relative contribution of each immune cell to the development of hypertension. So, we tested the hypothesis that increased lamina propria B cells play roles in fructose-induced hypertension of Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rats.

The Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) is a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) technique that uses various distances from average values to make decisions. It bears resemblance to other distance-based approaches like SPOTIS, VIKOR or TOPSIS, except that instead of positive and negative ideal solutions, it uses an average solution. For hesitant intuitionistic fuzzy linguistic term sets (HIFLTSs), we first define several operational laws and aggregation operators.
