BackgroundExclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is a first-line therapeutic approach for inducing remission in Crohn’s disease. However, the underlying mechanisms of its action remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the effects of EEN on the gut microbiome and metabolome of CD patients...

The measurement-device-independent quantum random number generator (MDI-QRNG) can resist all security loopholes on measurement devices, and it thus seems very promising in practical implementations. In the MDI-QRNG, sources are often assumed to be perfectly prepared, however, there inevitably exist...

BackgroundBeta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) is a nutritional supplement that has demonstrated favorable effects on restoring muscle mass. However, evidence to support its use in patients underlying surgery remains unclear. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of HMB in this...

The lower sub-member of Member 2, Dongying Formation (Paleogene) in the HHK Depression hosts an extensively developed thin-bedded beach-bar system characterized by favorable source rock conditions and reservoir properties, indicating significant hydrocarbon exploration potential. Integrating drillin...

The increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, caused by fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, plays an important role in plant growth and development. Wheat, as a major staple crop, adapts to climate change by tuning its inherent molecular mechanism, which is not well understood. The...

Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) can remove all detector side-channel attacks. However, there are still some assumptions on source preparations in MDI-QKD protocols, which are too strict to achieve in real-life implementations. To remove those assumptions, here we co...

BackgroundTrimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) is the recommended first-line prophylactic agent against Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). However, the standard regimen is often discontinued due to its drug-associated adverse events (AEs), especially in immunocompromised patients without HIV...

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been established as an independent risk factor for osteoporosis, often resulting in a poor prognosis. Thus, it is crucial for clinicians to diagnose osteoporosis in diabetic patients. This study aimed to develop a prediction model for osteoporosis in people with...

Immune homeostasis refers to the immune system’s ability to maintain a dynamic balance, defend against infections while preventing excessive inflammation, and preserve normal physiological activity. However, its regulatory role in the mammary glands (MGs) of cows with clinical mastitis (CM) remains...

[Objective] In recent years, Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima Blume) rot disease has shown an outbreak trend in the chestnut-producing areas of Yanshan mountain in China. The annual rate of chestnut rot disease ranges from 7% to 10%, resulting in enormous economic losses for producers and opera...

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into acupuncture research is accelerating the transformation of this traditional, experience-based practice into a data-driven, precision discipline. This review synthesizes recent advances in AI-enabled outcome prediction techniques, encompassing deep...

Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) has the potential to establish symbiosis with rhizobia, and symbiotic association of soil micro flora may facilitate the photosynthesis and plant growth response to elevated [CO2]. Mung bean was grown at either ambient CO2 400 µmol mol−1 or [CO2] ((550±17) µmol mol−1) un...

Dengue is among the fastest-spreading vector-borne infectious disease, with outbreaks often overwhelm the health system and result in huge morbidity and mortality in its endemic populations in the absence of an efficient warning system. A large number of prediction models are currently in use global...

Host innate immunity plays a pivotal role in the early detection and neutralization of invading pathogens. Here, we show that pseudokinase mixed lineage kinase-like protein (MLKL) is required for host defence against Streptococcus pluranimalium infection by enhancing NLRP3 inflammasome activation an...

Fertilization is an effective technique to improve soil fertility and increase crop yield. The long-term effects of different fertilizers on soil considerably vary. Over 38 consecutive years of different fertilization positioning experiments in a double cropping rice field of Qiyang Red Soil Experim...

The yield potential of japonica/indica hybrids (JIH) has been achieved over 13.5 t ha−1 in large-scale rice fields, and some physiological traits for yield advantage of JIH over japonica inbred rice (JI) and indica hybrid rice (IH) were also identified. To date, little attention has been paid to mor...

Hybrid wild boar husbandry is an important component of livestock production in Northeast China. However, the current disease situation of these animals is largely unknown due to a lack of disease surveillance. The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of several important viral di...

Summary: How cells orchestrate the quantity and location while building complex intracellular machinery remains a fundamental biological question. The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a powerful bacterial apparatus that delivers toxins into a variety of target cells, yet its assembly process is no...
