Over a long period of evolution, plant pathogenic fungi have developed a wide range of intricate and sophisticated strategies to invade their host plants, and the precise regulation of gene expression is necessary for interactions between plants and these pathogens. Epigenetic regulation refers to t...

IntroductionAcute gastric dilatation (AGD) is a rare but clinically significant condition characterized by abnormal enlargement of the stomach. It can lead to serious complications such as gastric necrosis, perforation, and respiratory failure if not promptly managed. AGD has been associated with me...

The viscoelastic behavior of functionally graded (FG) materials significantly affects their vibration performance, making it necessary to establish theoretical analysis methods. Although fractional-order methods can be used to set up the vibration differential equations for viscoelastic, functionall...

Hepatic steatosis is the main characteristic in fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS), sodium butyrate (NaB) has been shown to modulate hepatic metabolism, alleviate oxidative stress and restore mitochondrial function. However, the effects of NaB on avian cellular models have yet to be thoroughly...

As the proportion of encrypted traffic increases, it becomes increasingly challenging for network attacks to be discovered. Although existing methods combine unencrypted statistical features, e.g., average packet length, with machine learning algorithms to achieve encrypted malicious traffic detecti...

Cage rearing is a promising farming method. However, our previous studies have demonstrated that changes in farming practices induce oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver and duodenum of ducks. Resveratrol (RES), a natural plant polyphenol, possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cyto...

Abstract During the first two decades of the 21st century, the level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollution in urban atmospheric particulate matter (PM) in China significantly increased. By combining data from more than 6,695 individual samples covering 89 typical cities (population >...

Domesticated sheep have been exposed to artificial selection for the production of fiber, meat, and milk as well as to natural selection. Such selections are likely to have imposed distinctive selection signatures on the sheep genome. Therefore, detecting selection signatures across the genome may h...

The Lomagundi-Jatuli Event (LJE) refers to the significant positive carbon isotope excursion in seawater constituents that occurred immediately after the increase in atmospheric oxygen content during the Paleoproterozoic (2.22–2.06 Ga). The δ13C values of 46 dolostone samples collected from the Pale...

Eggshell quality plays a critical role in the poultry industry, influencing both biological and economic outcomes. However, the factors determining eggshell strength in egg-laying ducks remain poorly understood. This study sought to explore phenotypic variations, gut microbiota composition, and seru...

The debate still rages on for the usefulness of ureteral access sheath (UAS). Therefore, a meta-analysis to discuss the effects of applying UAS during ureteroscopy was performed. The protocol for the review is available on PROSPERO (CRD42017052327). A literature search was conducted up to November,...

Abstract Despite significant therapeutic advances, cumulative DOX‐induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) events remain unacceptably high. Recent evidence has underscored the critical role of impaired glycolytic metabolism in cardiovascular damage. Neuraminidase 1 (NEU1), a member of the neuraminidase family,...
