RESUMEN
Skeletal muscle grows in response to a combination of genetic and environmental factors, and its growth and development influence the quality of pork. Elucidating the molecular mechanisms regulating the growth and development of skeletal muscle is of great significance to both animal husbandry and farm management. The Jiangquan black pig is an excellent pig breed based on the original Yimeng black pig, importing the genes of the Duroc pig for meat traits, and cultivated through years of scientific selection and breeding. In this study, full-length transcriptome sequencing was performed on three growth stages of Jiangquan black pigs, aiming to study the developmental changes in Jiangquan black pigs at different developmental stages at the molecular level and to screen the key genes affecting the growth of skeletal muscle in Jiangquan black pigs. We performed an enrichment analysis of genes showing differential expression and constructed a protein-protein interaction network with the aim of identifying core genes involved in the development of Jiangquan black pigs. Notably, genes such as TNNI2, TMOD4, PLDIM3, MYOZ1, and MYH1 may be potential regulators of muscle development in Jiangquan black pigs. Our results contribute to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle development in this pig breed, which will facilitate molecular breeding efforts and the development of pig breeds to meet the needs of the livestock industry.

Black rot, caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) significantly affects the production of cabbage and other cruciferous vegetables. Plant antioxidant system plays an important role in pathogen invasion and is one of the main mechanisms underlying resistance to biological stress. Therefore, it is important to study the resistance mechanisms of the cabbage antioxidant system during the early stages of Xcc. In this study, 108 CFU/mL (OD600 = 0.1) Xcc race1 was inoculated on "zhonggan 11" cabbage using the spraying method. The effects of Xcc infection on the antioxidant system before and after Xcc inoculation (0, 1, 3, and 5 d) were studied by physiological indexes determination, transcriptome and metabolome analyses. We concluded that early Xcc infection can destroy the balance of the active oxygen metabolism system, increase the generation of free radicals, and decrease the scavenging ability, leading to membrane lipid peroxidation, resulting in the destruction of the biofilm system and metabolic disorders. In response to Xcc infection, cabbage clears a series of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during Xcc infection via various antioxidant pathways. The activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) increased after Xcc infection, and the ROS scavenging rate increased. The biosynthesis of non-obligate antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid (AsA) and glutathione (GSH), is also enhanced after Xcc infection. Moreover, the alkaloid and vitamin contents increased significantly after Xcc infection. We concluded that cabbage could resist Xcc invasion by maintaining the stability of the cell membrane system and improving the biosynthesis of antioxidant substances and enzymes after infection by Xcc. Our results provide theoretical basis and data support for subsequent research on the cruciferous vegetables resistance mechanism and breeding to Xcc.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), as a potential gaseous signaling molecule, is involved in mediating biotic and abiotic stress in plants. Currently, there are no studies investigating the mechanism by which H2S improves photosynthesis under black rot (BR) stress caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. Campestris (Xcc). In this study, we investigated the effect of exogenous H2S on Xcc induced photosynthetic impairment in cabbage seedlings. BR has an inhibitory effect on the photosynthetic ability of cabbage seedlings. Xcc infection can significantly reduce the chlorophyll content, photosynthetic characteristics, chlorophyll fluorescence, Calvin cycle related enzyme activity and gene expression in cabbage leaves. The use of H2S can alleviate this inhibitory effect, reduce chlorophyll decomposition, improve gas exchange, enhance the activity of Calvin cycle related enzymes, and increase the expression of related genes. Transcriptome analysis showed that all differential genes related to photosynthesis were up regulated under H2S treatment compared to normal inoculation. Therefore, spraying exogenous H2S can improve the photosynthetic capacity of cabbage seedlings, reduce Xcc induced photoinhibition, and improve plant resistance.

ABSTRACT: Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IIRI) is a serious disease with high morbidity and mortality. This study aims to investigate the potential regulatory mechanisms involving protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6), Forkhead box O3a (FoxO3a), and Parkin in IIRI and elucidate their roles in mediating cell apoptosis. The IIRI animal model was established and confirmed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) cell model was established to mimic ischemic injury in vitro . Transient transfection was used to overexpress or knock down genes. Cell death or apoptosis was assessed by propidium iodide staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay, and flow cytometry. The expression of proteins was detected by western blot. The histopathology observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining suggested that the IIRI animal model was successfully established. Our findings revealed that IIRI resulted in increased Bax and decreased Bcl-2 levels. In vitro experiments showed that overexpression of Parkin decreased OGD/R injury and suppressed elevation of Bax/Bcl-2. PRMT6 regulated the methylation level of FoxO3a. Moreover, FoxO3a directly binds to Parkin, and FoxO3a overexpression reduced OGD/R-induced cell death and regulation of Parkin. Overexpression of PRMT6 can attenuate the downregulation of Parkin and elevation of Bax/Bcl-2 caused by OGD/R. Knockdown of PRMT6 promoted apoptosis in intestinal epithelial cells of OGD/R group, while PRMT6 overexpression exhibited the opposite effect. Notably, the levels of PRMT6, FoxO3a, and Parkin were decreased in IIRI mouse intestinal tissue. Knocking out PRMT6 causes a significant decrease in the lifespan of mice. Altogether, our results demonstrated that PRMT6 upregulated the expression of Parkin by regulating FoxO3a methylation level, attenuating the apoptosis induced by IIRI.

INTRODUCTION: Postoperative delirium (POD) is the most common acute fluctuating mental state change after hip fractures in older adults. Postoperative pain is a Grade A risk factor for POD and is closely related to the prognosis of patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The fascia iliac block has a definite analgesic effect and few side effects, and several studies have reported that it reduces the occurrence of POD in patients undergoing general anaesthesia for hip fracture surgery. Liposomal bupivacaine is a local anaesthetic with a long half-life that significantly reduces the use of opioids and is conducive to patient prognosis and recovery. However, whether regional nerve block analgesia can decrease the occurrence of POD in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery has not been reported. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a single-blinded, randomised, parallel-controlled prospective clinical study. Participants will be randomly assigned preoperatively to either the liposomal bupivacaine (ie, Exparel) or ropivacaine groups by block randomisation. Then, the occurrence of POD (primary outcome) and postoperative pain (secondary outcome) will be evaluated. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This research protocol complies with the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) 2013 guidelines and is approved by the Ethics Committee of Shanghai General Hospital (ID 2023-437). The original data are expected to be released in July 2029 on the ResMan original data-sharing platform (IPD-sharing platform) of the China Clinical Trial Registry, which can be viewed on the following website: http://www.medresman.org.cn.

Multi-component composite materials with a magnetic-dielectric synergistic effect exhibit satisfactory electromagnetic wave absorption performance. However, the effective construction of the structure for these multi-component materials to fully exploit the advantages of each component remains a challenge. Inspired by natural biomass, this study utilizes wood as the raw material and successfully prepares high-performance MoS2@Gd2O3/Mxene loaded porous carbon aerogel (MGMCA) composite material through a one-pot hydrothermal method and carbonization treatment process. With a delicate structural design, the MGMCA is endowed with abundant heterogeneous interface structures, favorable impedance matching characteristics, and a magnetic-dielectric synergistic system, thus demonstrating multiple electromagnetic wave loss mechanisms. Benefiting from these advantages, the obtained MGMCA exhibits outstanding electromagnetic wave absorption performance, with a minimum reflection loss of -57.5 dB at an ultra-thin thickness of only 1.9 mm. This research proposes a reliable strategy for the design of multi-component composite materials, providing valuable insight for the design of biomass-based materials as electromagnetic wave absorbers.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Oxidative stress (OS) is a pathological process arising from the excessive production of free radicals in the body. It has the potential to alter animal gene expression and cause damage to the jejunum. However, there have been few reports of changes in the expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the jejunum in piglets under OS. The purpose of this research was to examine how lncRNAs in piglet jejunum change under OS. METHODS: The abdominal cavities of piglets were injected with diquat (DQ) to produce OS. Raw reads were downloaded from the SRA database. RNA-seq was utilized to study the expression of lncRNAs in piglets under OS. Additionally, six randomly selected lncRNAs were verified using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRTâPCR) to examine the mechanism of oxidative damage. RESULTS: A total of 79 lncRNAs were differentially expressed (DE) in the treatment group compared to the negative control group. The target genes of DE lncRNAs were enriched in gene ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) signaling pathways. Chemical carcinogenesis-reactive oxygen species, the Foxo signaling pathway, colorectal cancer, and the AMPK signaling pathway were all linked to OS. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated that DQ-induced OS causes differential expression of lncRNAs, laying the groundwork for future research into the processes involved in the jejunum's response to OS.
RESUMEN
It is a common practice to provide fast-growing broilers with high-fat diets in the context of integrated farms in Northeast China. Therefore, fat digestion, absorption, and utilization efficiency are critical for broiler meat production. Bile acids (BA) promote fat digestion and absorption, but whether and how BA affects muscle growth in broilers remains unclear. In this study, 1-day-old broilers were fed diets containing varying levels of crude fat (low, medium, and high) with or without BA supplementation for 42 d. Chickens fed a high-fat diet supplemented with BA exhibited significantly (P < 0.05) higher body weight (BW) at 21 d and average daily gain (ADG) during the first 21 d compared to the other groups. Throughout the entire experiment, feed conversion rate (FCR) was significantly (P < 0.05) lower in the high-fat group without the addition of BA, which was further decreased (P < 0.05) with BA supplementation. The improved growth performance in the BA-supplemented high-fat group was associated with significantly (P < 0.05) higher lipase activity in the small intestine chyme, a decreased trend (P = 0.06) in abdominal fat ratio, and significantly (P < 0.05) higher breast muscle mass. Histological analysis revealed significant (P < 0.05) increases in myofiber diameter, cross-sectional area, and RNA and DNA concentrations in the breast muscle of BA-supplemented broilers on the high-fat diet. Additional histological analysis further revealed significant (P < 0.05) enhancements in myofiber diameter, cross-sectional area, and RNA and DNA concentrations within the breast muscles of broilers supplemented with BA and a high-fat diet. The increased insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) in the breast muscle of broilers fed a BA-supplemented high-fat diet correlated with significantly (P < 0.05) increased farnesoid X factor (FXR) protein expression and binding to the IGF2 promoter. These results suggest that dietary BA supplementation improves FCR and breast muscle growth in broilers fed a high-fat diet, potentially through the FXR-mediated IGF2 pathway.

Objective.Automatic mutli-organ segmentation from anotomical images is essential in disease diagnosis and treatment planning. The U-shaped neural network with encoder-decoder has achieved great success in various segmentation tasks. However, a pure convolutional neural network (CNN) is not suitable for modeling long-range relations due to limited receptive fields, and a pure transformer is not good at capturing pixel-level features.Approach.We propose a new hybrid network named MSCT-UNET which fuses CNN features with transformer features at multi-scale and introduces multi-task contrastive learning to improve the segmentation performance. Specifically, the multi-scale low-level features extracted from CNN are further encoded through several transformers to build hierarchical global contexts. Then the cross fusion block fuses the low-level and high-level features in different directions. The deep-fused features are flowed back to the CNN and transformer branch for the next scale fusion. We introduce multi-task contrastive learning including a self-supervised global contrast learning and a supervised local contrast learning into MSCT-UNET. We also make the decoder stronger by using a transformer to better restore the segmentation map.Results.Evaluation results on ACDC, Synapase and BraTS datasets demonstrate the improved performance over other methods compared. Ablation study results prove the effectiveness of our major innovations.Significance.The hybrid encoder of MSCT-UNET can capture multi-scale long-range dependencies and fine-grained detail features at the same time. The cross fusion block can fuse these features deeply. The multi-task contrastive learning of MSCT-UNET can strengthen the representation ability of the encoder and jointly optimize the networks.

In order to improve the response capability of cross regional emergency material scheduling (CREMS), a CREMS algorithm based on seed optimization algorithm is proposed. Construct a segmented regional grid distribution model structure for CREMS, use a grid matching algorithm based on block link distribution to construct the optimization objective function during the emergency material scheduling process, use variable neighborhood search technology to solve the diversity problem of cluster optimization in CREMS, and combine seed optimization algorithms for combination control and recursive analysis in the emergency material scheduling process. Based on the combination of deep learning and reinforcement learning, the optimal route and configuration scheme design for CREMS process is achieved. The simulation results show that this method has better active configuration capability, better path optimization capability and stronger spatial regional planning capability for CREMS.
RESUMEN
In mammals, the most remarkable T cell variations with aging are the shrinking of the naïve T cell pool and the enlargement of the memory T cell pool, which are partially caused by thymic involution. However, the mechanism underlying the relationship between T-cell changes and aging remains unclear. In this study, we find that T-cell-specific Rip1 KO mice show similar age-related T cell changes and exhibit signs of accelerated aging-like phenotypes, including inflammation, multiple age-related diseases, and a shorter lifespan. Mechanistically, Rip1-deficient T cells undergo excessive apoptosis and promote chronic inflammation. Consistent with this, blocking apoptosis by co-deletion of Fadd in Rip1-deficient T cells significantly rescues lymphopenia, the imbalance between naïve and memory T cells, and aging-like phenotypes, and prolongs life span in T-cell-specific Rip1 KO mice. These results suggest that the reduction and hyperactivation of T cells can have a significant impact on organismal health and lifespan, underscoring the importance of maintaining T cell homeostasis for healthy aging and prevention or treatment of age-related diseases.

BACKGROUND: Emergence delirium (ED) is generally occurred after anesthesia associated with increased risks of long-term adverse outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of preconditioning with nasal splint and mouth-breathing training on prevention of ED after general anesthesia. METHODS: This randomized controlled trial enrolled 200 adult patients undergoing ESS. Patients were randomized to receive either nasal splinting and mouth breathing training (n = 100) or standard care (n = 100) before surgery. The primary outcome was the occurrence of ED within 30 min of extubation, assessed using the Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale. Logistic regression identified risk factors for ED. RESULTS: Totally 200 patients were randomized and 182 aged from 18 to 82 years with 59.9% of males were included in the final analysis (90 in C-group and 92 in P-group). ED occurred in 16.3% of the intervention group vs. 35.6% of controls (P = 0.004). Male sex, smoking and function endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) were independent risk factors for ED. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative nasal splinting and mouth breathing training significantly reduced the incidence of emergence delirium in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is one of the most toxic mycotoxins prevalent in the environment and food chain, posing severe health risks to humans and animals. Bile acids are natural detergents synthesized from cholesterol and play a key role in the excretion of toxins in vertebrates. Here, pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) served as an animal model to examine the toxicity mechanisms of AFB1 and assess the potential alleviating effects of bile acids against AFB1. Our results revealed that AFB1 exposure significantly inhibited the growth performance and immune response of shrimp, accompanied by AFB1 accumulation and histological damage. Mechanistically, AFB1-induced DNA damage activated DNA repair mechanisms and induced the arrest of cell cycle via the ATR-cyclin B/cdc2 pathway. Additionally, AFB1 directly suppressed the immune response and growth performance of shrimp by inhibiting Toll and IMD pathways and the secretion of digestive enzymes. Notably, dietary bile acids significantly reduced AFB1 accumulation and alleviated AFB1-induced growth retardation and immunotoxicity in shrimp, and CCKAR, ATR, and Relish may be key mediators of the alleviating effects of bile acids. Our study provided new insights into the toxicity mechanisms of AFB1 in invertebrates and highlighted the potential of bile acids to alleviate AFB1 toxicity.

Objective. Sleep staging studies on single-channel EEG mainly exploit deep learning methods that combine convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks. However, when typical brain waves (such as K-complexes or sleep spindles) that identify sleep stages span two epochs, the abstract process of a CNN extracting features from each sleep stage may cause the loss of boundary context information. This study attempts to capture the boundary context, which contains the characteristics of brain waves during sleep stage transition, to improve the performance of sleep staging.Approach. In this paper we propose a fully convolutional network with boundary temporal context refinement, called BTCRSleep (Boundary Temporal Context Refinement Sleep). The boundary temporal context refinement module refines the boundary information on sleep stages on the basis of extracting multi-scale temporal dependences between epochs and enhances the abstract capability of the boundary temporal context. In addition, we design a class-aware data augmentation method to effectively learn the boundary temporal context between the minority class and other sleep stages.Main results. We evaluate the performance of our proposed network using four public datasets: the 2013 version of Sleep-EDF Expanded (SEDF), the 2018 version of Sleep-EDF Expanded (SEDFX), the Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS) and CAP Sleep Database (CAP). The evaluation results on the four datasets showed that our model obtains the best total accuracy and kappa score compared with state-of-the-art methods. On average, accuracies of 84.9% in SEDF, 82.9% in SEDFX, 85.2% in SHHS and 76.9% in CAP are obtained under subject-independent cross-validation. We demonstrate that the boundary temporal context contributes to the improvement in capturing the temporal dependences across different epochs.

Silicon-based anode materials are considered one of the highly promising anode materials due to their high theoretical energy density; however, problems such as volume effects and solid electrolyte interface film (SEI) instability limit the practical applications. Herein, silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) are used as the nucleus and anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) is used as the buffer layer to form a core-shell structure to adapt to the volume change of the silicon-based material and improve the overall interfacial stability of the electrode. In addition, silver nanowires (AgNWs) doping makes it possible to form a conductive network structure to improve the conductivity of the material. We used the core-shell structure SiNPs@TiO2/AgNWs composite as an anode material for high-efficiency Li-ion batteries. Compared with the pure SiNPs electrode, the SiNPs@TiO2/AgNWs electrode exhibits excellent electrochemical performance with a first discharge specific capacity of 3524.2 mAh·g-1 at a current density of 400 mA·g-1, which provides a new idea for the preparation of silicon-based anode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.
RESUMEN
Background: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) can cause acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) by inducing macrophage pyroptosis. The purpose of this study was to find out whether pretreatment of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) could inhibit NETs-induced macrophage pyroptosis in sepsis-induced ALI/ARDS, as well as to identify which inflammasome is involved in this process. Methods: LPS was instilled into the trachea to establish sepsis-induced ALI/ARDS in a mouse model. âLung injury was assessed by microscopic examination of lung tissue after hematoxylin and eosin staining, pathology score, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) total protein concentration. The level of NETs in lung tissue was detected by MPO-DNA ELISA. Purified NETs, extracted from peritoneal neutrophils, induced macrophage pyroptosis in vitro. Expression of pyroptosis-related proteins (Cl-caspase-1, Cl-GSDMD, ASC) and IL-1ß in the lung tissue and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were determined by western blotting or ELISA. Specks of Pyrin/ASC were examined by confocal immunofluorescence microscopy. Mefv (Pyrin)-/- mice were used to study the role of Pyrin in the process of sepsis-induced ALI/ARDS. Results: ALA alleviated LPS-induced lung injury. ALA reduced the level of NETs, pyroptosis-related proteins (Cl-caspase-1, Cl-GSDMD, ASC), and IL-1ß in the lung tissue of sepsis mice. In vitro, NETs increased the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins (Cl-caspase-1, Cl-GSDMD, ASC) and IL-1ß significantly in BMDMs. Pyrin protein was found to be higher and form the inflammasome with ASC in NETs challenged-BMDMs. Knockout of Mefv (Pyrin) gene fully restored the increased expression of pyroptosis-related proteins (Cl-caspase-1, Cl-GSDMD, ASC) and IL-1ß in vitro and in vivo. Lung injury was alleviated significantly in Mefv (Pyrin)-/- mice as well.â ALA suppresses all the NETs-induced changes as mentioned above. Conclusion: Our study is the first to demonstrate Pyrin inflammasome driving NETs-induced macrophage pyroptosis, and ALA may reduce ALI/ARDS by inhibiting the activation of the Pyrin inflammasome-driven macrophage pyroptosis.

After three-layer superimposed rolling, the discharge areal capacity reached 3.3 mAh cm-2 and 2.9 mAh cm-2 at the rate of 0.1 C and 1.5 C, respectively, which was superior to the commercial LFP electrode, it had good cycle stability, and the areal capacity was 3.0 mAh cm-2 and 2.8 mAh cm-2 after 100 cycles at the rate of 0.3 C and 1.5 C.
RESUMEN
Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is the most common sleep disorder which affects human life and health. Many researchers use deep learning methods to automatically learn the features of physiological signals. However, these methods ignore the different effects of multichannel features from various physiological signals. To solve this problem, we propose a multichannel fusion network (MCFN), which learns the multilevel features through a convolution neural network on different respiratory signals and then reconstructs the relationship between feature channels with an attention mechanism. MCFN effectively fuses the multichannel features to improve the SAS detection performance. We conducted experiments on the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) dataset, consisting of 2056 subjects. The experiment results show that our proposed network achieves an overall accuracy of 87.3%, which is better than other SAS detection methods and can better assist sleep experts in diagnosing sleep disorders.
