Vaccines are of great importance to green aquaculture. In this study, the polyvalent immunoprotective activities of protein, DNA and egg yolk antibody (IgY) vaccines of Vibrio fluvialis outer membrane protein VF08100 were assessed. Carassius auratus was immunized with these three vaccines and challenged with V. fluvialis and Aeromonas hydrophila. The results showed that the three vaccines had significant immune protection rates (p < 0.01) against V. fluvialis and A. hydrophila infections, could activate the congenital immune response in C. auratus, and downregulate the expression of inflammation genes (p < 0.01) and antioxidant factors (p < 0.01) to reduce the inflammatory response and antioxidant reactions, respectively. Moreover, the three vaccines could protect the internal tissue structure integrity and reduce the apoptosis and DNA damage of kidney cells induced by bacterial infection. Therefore, the protein, DNA and IgY vaccines of VF08100 resisted multiple bacterial infections and can be used as polyvalent candidate vaccines for aquaculture.

Background: Tumor metastasis is one of the main causes of death in cancer patients; however, the mechanism controlling metastasis is unclear. The posttranscriptional regulation of metastasis-related genes mediated by AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 4A (Arid4a), an RNA-binding protein (RBP), has not been elucidated.
Methods: Bioinformatic analysis, qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, and immunoblotting were employed to determine the expression of Arid4a in breast tumor tissues and its association with the survival of cancer patients.
Background: The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is rapidly increasing, and early detection plays a crucial role in improving the prognosis and survival rates of patients. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic ability of combined SDC2-KCNQ5-IKZF1 methylation levels in plasma for CRC detection.
Methods: A total of 92 patients were recruited from the Department of General Surgery at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, including 56 CRC patients, 22 polyp and adenoma patients, and 14 healthy controls.
Background: Alkhumra hemorrhagic fever virus is a newly discovered tick-borne flavivirus that was first identified in 1994 - 1995 in the Alkhumra district of Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. AHFV was detected in a butcher who developed severe hemorrhagic fever. Since then, a total of 604 confirmed cases have been reported in KSA between 1995 - 2020.

Methods: This review summarizes the current knowledge about the physiology of iron metabolism.
Results: The physiological functions comprise oxygen transport in the blood, electron transport processes, DNA synthesis and gene regulation, the regulation of cell growth and differentiation, and the energy production in mitochondria.

DNA methylation is a key epigenetic mark found in both eukaryotic as well as prokaryotic genomes. It is essential for regulating expression of genes and preservation of genomic integrity. Both plants and animals possess specific proteins that mediate biological effects of DNA methylation.
