文摘This study employed integrated multi-omics approaches to elucidate,from the perspective of amino acid metabolism,the adaptive mechanism of Penicillium digitatum under modified atmosphere packaging(MAP)conditions.Comparative analysis of natural air(Air),controlled atmosphere(CA),and MAP treatments revealed that MAP upregulated the expression of the hercynylcysteine S-oxide synthase(HCSOS),aldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH),and monoamine oxidase(MAO)genes,thereby enhancing histidine-derived ergothioneine and methionine levels,and subsequently boosting glutathione-mediated redox homeostasis.Meanwhile,MAP induced the expression of the dihydroxyacid dehydratase(DHAD),saccharopine dehydrogenase(SDH),and arginosuccinate lyase(ASL)genes,redirecting valine,lysine,and arginine into the tricarboxylic acid(TCA)cycle to fuel ATP production.MAP also enhanced ASL-mediated arginine degradation and urea cycle activity,reducing arginine accumulation when compared to CA treatment.In contrast,while MAP induced upregulated expression of the pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase(P5CDH)and D-amino acid oxidase(DAAO)genes,CA treatment promoted proline accumulation,reflecting stress-specific metabolic flexibility.Collectively,these findings demonstrate that MAP triggers transcriptional reprogramming of amino acid metabolism to coordinate oxidative defense,energy generation,and osmotic balance.By modulating these metabolic pathways and regulatory genes under MAP conditions,fungal adaptability can be disrupted.Hence,this study provides a promising strategy for suppressing green mold development,extending the postharvest shelf life,and improving the quality of fruits and vegetables.

文摘Our analysis is particularly motivated by its relevance to understanding compact object instabilities,gravitational collapse thresholds,and the formation of dense structures under the influence of modified gravity theories.The interplay of anisotropic pressures,perturbative dynamics,and modified gravity contributions offers insight into both the stable configuration of dense fluids and the mechanisms leading to dynamical instability.Such considerations directly contribute to the aims of high energy density profiles,particularly in modeling physical systems where extreme pressure,curvature,and matter interactions co-exist.We consider an axially symmetric,dense structure with anisotropic matter content and employ a specific equation of state(EoS)to examine the interplay between static and dynamic quantities via the adiabatic index.To address the complex dynamics of the collapse process,a perturbative scheme is utilized under Newtonian and post-Newtonian approximations,enabling a detailed examination of the stability and structural evolution of the system under the influence of the considered minimally coupled gravity.Our results demonstrate that hydrostatic equilibrium is maintained when effective pressure,gravitational,and anti-gravitational forces are balanced,while deviations from this balance initiate dynamical instability.Graphical representations of stable and unstable regimes are presented,revealing how the choice of gravity functions significantly affects the outcome.This work provides insight into the behavior of dense,self-gravitating configurations under modified gravity,offering broader implications for the modeling of compact astrophysical objects and contributing to the understanding of gravitational collapse in energy density regimes.

文摘OBJECTIVE:To elucidate the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of modified Shoutai pills(改良寿胎丸,MSTP)in miscarriages,we performed transcriptome sequencing on the decidua and placental tissues of pregnancy mice.METHODS:The therapeutic effects and antiinflammatory mechanisms of MSTP were studied in mice with lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced miscarriage.First,the effects of MSTP on pregnancy outcomes and the maternal-fetal interface,in LPS-induced miscarriage mice were examined.RNA sequencing was used to further investigate gene expression changes in LPS-induced miscarriage mice and to assess the effects of MSTP intervention.Finally,the expression levels of inflammation-related genes in the decidua and placental tissues were determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(q RT-PCR).RESULTS:A high dose of MSTP significantly decreased the resorption rate(P<0.05)and reduced apoptosis of the decidua and placental tissues in mice.Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses showed that inflammatory and immune-related signals were enriched.q RT-PCR results confirmed that in decidual and placental tissues,MSTP reduced the gene expression levels of toll-like receptor 4(TLR4),nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB),c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1,p38,and tumor necrosis factor-α.CONCLUSIONS:In this study,we demonstrated that MSTP effectively prevented embryo loss with an antiinflammatory mechanism through downregulation of the TLR4-NF-κB/MAPK signaling pathway,in LPS-induced miscarriage mice model.To our knowledge,this is the first study to reveal the therapeutic mechanism of MSTP in LPS-induced miscarriage in mice.

文摘Graphene oxide nanomaterials are increasingly used in various fields due to their superior properties.In order to study the influence of graphene oxide additives on the performance of modified asphalt,in this study,graphene oxide modified asphalt was prepared and characteristics was studied including the high deformation resistance performance and the self-healing property of modified asphalt.Functional groups and morphology of graphene oxide modified asphalt were described by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.The high deformation resistance performance and self-healing effect of asphalt samples were obtained through dynamic slear rheometer(DSR)test.Results shows that graphene oxide dispersions improve the performance of asphalt relatively well compared to graphene oxide powder.There is no chemical reaction between graphene oxide and asphalt,but physical connection.The addition of graphene oxide improved the high deformation resistance of modified asphalt and expedited the self-healing ability of asphalt under fatigue load.

文摘With the approval of more and more genetically modified(GM)crops in our country,GM safety management has become more important.Transgenic detection is a major approach for transgenic safety management.Nevertheless,a convenient and visual technique with low equipment requirements and high sensitivity for the field detection of GM plants is still lacking.On the basis of the existing recombinase polymerase amplification(RPA)technique,we developed a multiplex RPA(multi-RPA)method that can simultaneously detect three transgenic elements,including the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S gene(CaMV35S)promoter,neomycin phosphotransferaseⅡgene(NptⅡ)and hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene(Hyg),thus improving the detection rate.Moreover,we coupled this multi-RPA technique with the CRISPR/Cas12a reporter system,which enabled the detection results to be clearly observed by naked eyes under ultraviolet(UV)light(254 nm;which could be achieved by a portable UV flashlight),therefore establishing a multi-RPA visual detection technique.Compared with the traditional test strip detection method,this multi-RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a technique has the higher specificity,higher sensitivity,wider application range and lower cost.Compared with other polymerase chain reaction(PCR)techniques,it also has the advantages of low equipment requirements and visualization,making it a potentially feasible method for the field detection of GM plants.
文摘Spinal cord injury and treatment opportunities:The adult mammalian spinal cord has a very limited capacity for spontaneous regeneration due to various intrinsic molecular and cellular factors.Although the spinal cord neurons have the capacity to regenerate their axons,the expression of growth inhibitory factors,lack or suppression of proper guidance cues,and profound inflammatory responses do not permit successful regeneration(Khyeam et al.,2021).

文摘To reduce the temperature diseases of asphalt pavement,improve the service quality of road and extend service life,the research of inorganic powders that reduce the temperature of asphalt pavements was systematically sorted out.The common types,physicochemical properties and application methods of inorganic powders were defined.The road performances of modified asphalt and its mixture were evaluated.The modification mechanism of inorganic powders in asphalt was analyzed.On this basis,the cooling effect and cooling mechanism of inorganic powders was revealed.The results indicate that inorganic powders are classified into hollow,porous,and energy conversion types.The high-temperature performance of inorganic powders modified asphalt and its mixture is significantly improved,while there is no significant change in low-temperature performance and water stability.The average increase in rutting resistance factor(G*/sin(δ))and dynamic stability is 40%–72%and 30%–50%,respectively.The modification mechanism of inorganic powders in asphalt is physical blending.The thermal conductivity of hollow and porous inorganic powders modified asphalt mixture decreases by 30.05%and 43.14%,respectively.The temperature of hollow,porous and energy conversion inorganic powders modified asphalt mixture at 5 cm decreases by 2.3 ℃–3.5 ℃,0.8 ℃–3.7 ℃and 4.1 ℃–4.7℃,respectively.Hollow and porous inorganic powders block heat conduction,while energy conversion inorganic powders achieve cooling through their functional properties.
文摘BACKGROUND At present,the concept of surgical treatment of gastric cancer(GC)has changed from“radical treatment”to“care for patients”to a certain extent.The reconstruction method is the most likely to affect the postoperative life of the patient.Currently,the traditional Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy anastomosis is a commonly used method for gastrointestinal reconstruction after total gastrectomy for GC.However,more recent studies have shown that the traditional Roux-en-Y anastomosis is complicated in operation procedure,with more reconstruction steps and longer reconstruction time,and the incidence of postoperative complications such as adhesive intestinal obstruction,internal abdominal hernia and volvulus is high.Moreover,the incidence of Roux stasis syndrome is 10%-30%after traditional Roux-en-Y reconstruction.Thus,we modified the traditional Roux-en-Y alimentary tract reconstruction,and designed a new digestive tract reconstruction method for laparoscopy-assisted Roux-en-Y anastomosis for total gastrectomy of GC.AIM To evaluate the clinical advantages,feasibility,and safety of a modified Roux-en-Y digestive tract reconstruction in laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy for the treatment of GC compared with the traditional Roux-en-Y method.METHODS Ninety-seven patients who underwent laparoscopy-assisted D2 radical gastrectomy(total gastrectomy)for GC were divided into two groups:fifty-four in the conventional Roux-en-Y reconstruction group(Orr group)and forty-three in the modified Roux-en-Y reconstruction group(the modified group).Perioperative and short-term outcomes were analyzed,including complications,postoperative weight loss,hemoglobin levels,and nutritional status.RESULTS The Orr group and the modified group showed no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics.Compared with the Orr group,the modified group had shorter digestive tract reconstruction and operation times,less intraoperative bleeding,and shorter postoperative hospital stays compared to the Orr group.Although both groups had similar amounts of intraoperative blood loss,postoperative recovery times,and hospital expenses,the Orr group experienced longer operation times and digestive tract reconstruction times.Furthermore,the modified Roux-en-Y group demonstrated significantly fewer short-term and long-term complications,with a reduced incidence of reflux esophagitis and improved nutritional status.CONCLUSION The modified Roux-en-Y digestive tract reconstruction method after laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy for GC offers safety,simplicity,and a reduction in bile reflux.This method shortens operation times and minimizes postoperative complications,aligns with modern rapid rehabilitation surgery trends and potentially improves patient prognosis and overall survival.This method warrants further clinical application and promotion.

文摘Semenov-Tian-Shansky has given the solution of the modified classical Yang-Baxter equation, which was called the modified r-matrix. Relevant studies have been extensive in recent times. In this paper, we introduce the concept and representations of modified RotaBaxter Hom-Lie algebras. We develop a cohomology of modified Rota-Baxter Hom-Lie algebras with coefficients in a suitable representation. As applications, we study formal deformations and abelian extensions of modified Rota-Baxter Hom-Lie algebras in terms of second cohomology groups.
