Objective: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a public health concern due to its high mortality rate. Although the hemoglobin to red blood cell distribution width ratio (Hb-RDW ratio) has been recognized as a prognostic indicator in numerous malignant conditions, its correlation with cere...

Chlorine-based sanitizers have seen wide spread use in food sanitation. The reaction of chlorine species with organic matter is a concern for two reasons. Available chlorine can be “used up” by organic compounds resulting in a lower amount of chlorine available for disinfection. Another concern is t...

Biological control (biocontrol) is a safe, sustainable approach that takes advantage of natural enemies such as predators, parasitic insects or pathogens to manage pests in agroecosystems. Parasitoid wasps, a very large evolutionary group of hymenopteran insects, are well-known biological control ag...

Accurate seismic performance assessment of flexure-shear critical reinforced concrete (RC) columns necessitates precise hysteresis modeling that captures their distinct cyclic characteristics—particularly pronounced strength degradation, stiffness deterioration, and pinching effects. However, existi...

Genes encoding enzymes involved in the lignin biosynthesis through phenylpropanoid pathway were not only associated with the lignin content, but also related to the abiotic stress resistances. As far as the production of liquid biofuels and cultivation within the marginal land are concerned, switchg...

ABSTRACT Introduction Tuberculosis (TB) is a globally prevalent chronic infectious disease. The World Health Organization estimates that mental illnesses will become the leading cause of global disease burden in 2030. The inability to detect and provide proper treatment for TB in mental illness pati...

The reverse genetics for classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is currently based on the transfection of in vitro transcribed RNA from a viral genomic cDNA clone, which is inefficient and time-consuming. This study was aimed to develop an improved method for rapid recovery of CSFV directly from cloned...

Polydnaviruses (PDVs), obligatory symbionts with parasitoid wasps, function as host immune suppressors and growth and development regulator. PDVs can induce host haemocyte apoptosis, but the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we provided evidence that, during the early stages of par...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary energy and protein dilution from age 8 to 14 d on growth performance, clinical blood parameters, carcass yield, and tibia parameters of broilers. Treatments were assigned in a completely randomized manner with factorial arrangement (4×4)...

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) strands offer superior flexibility and broad application potential, yet conventional anchoring systems face challenges such as structural complexity, high costs, and specialized tools. This paper introduces a crimped anchorage system for CFRP strands, character...

ObjectivesCognitive impairment is a major health concern in older adults with hypertension, and both depression and abnormal sleep duration are recognized as potential contributing factors. This study aimed to explore the nonlinear association of depression and sleep duration with cognitive impairme...

Background: Endoscopic decompression of the supraorbital (SO) and supratrochlear (ST) nerves represents a primary surgical approach for the treatment of frontal migraine. To the best of our knowledge, no anatomical studies have been conducted on these nerves from an endoscopic perspective. Method: T...

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a small molecule glycerophospholipid, which regulates multiple downstream signalling pathways through G-protein-coupled receptors to achieve numerous functions on oocyte maturation and embryo development. In this study, sheep in vitro fertilized embryos were applied to...

N-Linked glycosylation of hemagglutinin (HA) has been demonstrated to regulate the virulence and receptor-binding specificity of avian influenza virus (AIV). In this study, we characterized the variation trend of naturally isolated H9N2 viruses for the potential N-linked glycosylation sites in HA pr...
