Objective Elevated homocysteine (Hcy) are linked to an augmented risk of cardiovascular disorders. However, relationship between Hcy and in-hospital new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) among patients experiencing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains uncertain. This study investigated the assoc...

The development of novel antimicrobial agents is highly desirable for treating bacterial infections. Here, a smart photodynamic therapy (PDT) system based on a combination of peony-shaped ferroselite FeSe 2 particles and zinc (II) phthalocyanine (ZnPc) photosensitizers was constructed. Effective en...

Yak meat jerky, a traditional high-protein food commonly consumed in high-altitude regions, is often produced via air-drying, which may adversely affect its nutritional quality and digestibility. This study systematically compared the gastrointestinal digestion profiles of air-dried yak meat (ADM) a...

Glacier and snowmelt-induced floods (GSFs) in glacierized regions are highly sensitive to climate change, yet their dynamics in areas such as the Upper Yarkant River Basin (UYRB) remain inadequately understood. Existing studies are constrained by data limitations and oversimplified modeling approach...

To achieve the dual goals of high yield and good quality with low environmental costs, slow-release fertilizer (SRF) has been widely used in lotus cultivation as new type of fertilizer instead of traditional nitrogen fertilizer. However, the optimal amount of SRF and how it would promote lotus rhizo...

A novel self-adaptive denoising method utilizing optimized empirical wavelet transform (EWT) is proposed to enhance the sensitivity of partial discharge (PD) fluorescence fiber sensors. The optimized EWT enhances the spectrum segmentation capability of conventional EWT via spectral kurtosis (SK). Th...

Microplastics (MPs) are widely distributed in the environment and have an important impact on the ecosystem. However, there are fewer studies on the effects of microplastics and their degrading bacteria on crops. The aim of this study was to investigate the response mechanism of cucumber seedlings t...

Our previous studies showed that the anti-inflammatory effects of Paeonia lactiflora roots extract may be mediated, at least in part, through its gallic acid content, and this effect may be regulated in part by an inhibition on cAMP-phosphodiesterase (PDE). To explore the anti-inflammatory effect an...

ABSTRACT Habitat heterogeneity and human disturbances drive variations in interspecific interactions among fish species. Trophic niche analysis is a crucial approach for understanding these interactions. This study investigates the interspecific interaction mechanisms of two scorpionfish species, Se...
