A Prediction Model for Detecting Dysthyroid Optic Neuropathy Based on Clinical Factors and Imaging Markers of the Optic Nerve and Cerebrospinal Fluid in the Optic Nerve Sheath.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop and test a model for predicting dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) based on clinical factors and imaging markers of the optic nerve and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the optic nerve sheath. METHODS: This retrospective study included patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) without DON and patients with TAO accompanied by DON at our hospital. The imaging markers of the optic nerve and CSF in the optic nerve sheath were measured on the water-fat images of each patient and, together with clinical factors, were screened by Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator. Subsequently, we constructed a prediction model using multivariate logistic regression. The accuracy of the model was verified using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. RESULTS: In total, 80 orbits from 44 DON patients and 90 orbits from 45 TAO patients were included in our study. Two variables (optic nerve subarachnoid space and the volume of the CSF in the optic nerve sheath) were found to be independent predictive factors and were included in the prediction model. In the development cohort, the mean area under the curve (AUC) was 0.994, with a sensitivity of 0.944, specificity of 0.967, and accuracy of 0.901. Moreover, in the validation cohort, the AUC was 0.960, the sensitivity was 0.889, the specificity was 0.893, and the accuracy was 0.890. CONCLUSIONS: A combined model was developed using imaging data of the optic nerve and CSF in the optic nerve sheath, serving as a noninvasive potential tool to predict DON.

High energy barrier hydroxyl radical dissociation mechanism of a low shock sensitivity dihydroxylammonium 5,5'-bistetrazole-1,1'-diolate (TKX-50) explosive.

As a representative of the new generation of high-energy explosives, TKX-50 has attracted widespread attention due to its remarkably low sensitivity toward shock. However, the reported decomposition barriers of TKX-50 (∼37 kcal mol-1) are comparable to those of commonly used explosives. The mechanism of its low shock sensitivity remains unclear. In this study, using an ab initio molecular dynamics method combined with a multiscale shock simulation technique and transition state calculations (at the B2PLYP-D3/Def2TZVP level), we discovered an unconventional reaction pathway of TKX-50 under shock, and its rate-controlling step is the dissociation of the hydroxyl radical (OH) from the anion ring after proton transfer, followed by ring rupture and the production of H2O and N2. The barrier for this OH dissociation reaction is as high as 51.9 kcal mol-1. In contrast, under thermal stimuli, TKX-50 prefers to open rings directly after proton transfer without losing the OH. The corresponding barrier is 35.4 kcal mol-1, which is in good agreement with previous studies. The reason for the unconventional reaction pathway of TKX-50 under shock may be the suppression of anion ring opening in thermal decomposition by steric hindrance upon shock compression. In addition, the dominant N2 generation pathway under shock releases less energy than pyrolysis which further explains the low shock sensitivity of TKX-50. This study comprehensively elucidates the different reaction mechanisms of TKX-50 under thermal and shock conditions and proposes a crucial reaction pathway leading to its low shock sensitivity. These findings will contribute to the understanding and application of tetrazole anionic energetic salts.

Tailoring Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction and Spin-Hall Topological Hall Effect in Insulating Magnetic Oxides by Interface Engineering.

Chiral spin textures, as exotic phases in magnetic materials, hold immense promise for revolutionizing logic, and memory applications. Recently, chiral spin textures have been observed in centrosymmetric magnetic insulators (FMI), due to an interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (iDMI). However, the source and origin of this iDMI remain enigmatic in magnetic insulator systems. Here, the source and origin of the iDMI in Pt/Y3Fe5O12 (YIG)/substrate structures are deeply delved by examining the spin-Hall topological Hall effect (SH-THE), an indication of chiral spin textures formed due to an iDMI. Through carefully modifying the interfacial chemical composition of Pt/YIG/substrate with a nonmagnetic Al3+ doping, the obvious dependence of SH-THE on the interfacial chemical composition for both the heavy metal (HM)/FMI and FMI/substrate interfaces is observed. The results reveal that both interfaces contribute to the strength of the iDMI, and the iDMI arises due to strong spin-orbit coupling and inversion symmetry breaking at both interfaces in HM/FMI/substrate. Importantly, it is shown that nonmagnetic substitution and interface engineering can significantly tune the SH-THE and iDMI in ferrimagnetic iron garnets. The approach offers a viable route to tailor the iDMI and associated chiral spin textures in low-damping insulating magnetic oxides, thus advancing the field of spintronics.

Stratifin-mediated activation of AKT signaling and therapeutic targetability in hepatocellular carcinoma progression.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and presents a significant threat to human health. Despite its prevalence, the underlying regulatory mechanisms of HCC remain unclear. In this study, we integrated RNA-seq datasets, proteome dataset and survival analysis and unveiled Stratifin (SFN) as a potential prognostic biomarker for HCC. SFN knockdown inhibited HCC progression in cell cultures and mouse models. Conversely, ectopic expression of Sfn in primary mouse HCC model accelerated HCC progression. Mechanistically, SFN acted as an adaptor protein, activating AKT1 signaling by fostering the interaction between PDK1 and AKT1, with the R56 and R129 sites on SFN proving to be crucial for this binding. In the syngeneic implantation model, the R56A/R129A mutant of SFN inhibited Akt signaling activation and impeded HCC growth. Additionally, peptide inhibitors designed based on the binding motif of AKT1 to SFN significantly inhibited HCC progression. In summary, our findings establish that SFN promotes HCC progression by activating AKT signaling through the R56 and R129 binding sites. This discovery opens new avenues for a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of HCC.

Age-related differences in the intrinsic connectivity of the hippocampus and ventral temporal lobe in autistic individuals.

Introduction: Although memory challenges in autistic individuals have been characterized recently, the functional connectivity of the hippocampus and ventral temporal lobe, two structures important for episodic and semantic memory functions, are poorly understood in autistic individuals. Moreover, age-related differences in the functional connectivity associated with these two memory networks are unrevealed. Methods: The current study investigated age-related differences in intrinsic connectivity of the hippocampal and ventral temporal lobe (vTL) memory networks in well-matched ASD (n = 73; age range: 10.23-55.40 years old) and Non-ASD groups (n = 74; age range: 10.46-56.20 years old) from the open dataset ABIDE-I. Both theory-driven ROI-to-ROI approach and exploratory seed-based whole-brain approach were used. Results and discussion: Our findings revealed reduced connectivity in ASD compared to Non-ASD peers, as well as an age-related reduction in the connectivity of hippocampal and vTL networks with triple networks, namely, the default mode network (DMN), the central executive network (CEN), and the salience network (SN), potentially underpinning their challenges in memory, language, and social functions. However, we did not observe reliable differences in age-related effects between the ASD and Non-ASD groups. Our study underscores the importance of understanding memory network dysfunctions in ASD across the lifespan to inform educational and clinical practices.

Thrombectomy improves functional independence in severe basilar artery occlusion with favorable collateral circulation.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the effect of collateral circulation on the outcomes of thrombectomy versus medical management alone in basilar artery occlusion (BAO) patients with varying stroke severities. METHODS: Data from the ATTENTION cohort were used to perform a post-hoc analysis comparing the outcomes of thrombectomy with medical management in BAO patients with varying degrees of collateral circulation and stroke severity. Basilar Artery on Computed Tomography Angiography (BATMAN) scores were used to quantify the collateral circulation, and the effect was estimated through a primary outcome of 90-day functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score, mRS ≤2). Favorable versus unfavorable BATMAN scores were analyzed as both continuous and categorical variables, and an adjusted multivariate regression model was applied. RESULTS: Among 221 BAO patients, thrombectomy significantly improved functional independence compared to medical management in patients with favorable BATMAN scores (aOR 7.75, 95% CI 2.78-26.1), but not in those with unfavorable BATMAN scores (aOR 1.33, 95% CI 0.28-6.92; pinteraction = 0.028). When treated as a continuous variable, increased BATMAN score was found to be associated with a higher likelihood of functional independence in the thrombectomy group (aOR 1.97, 95% CI 1.44-2.81; pinteraction = 0.053). In severe stroke patients with higher BATMAN scores (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) ≥21), we identified a significant interaction for treatment effect with thrombectomy compared to medical management (pinteraction = 0.042). CONCLUSION: An increased BATMAN score was significantly associated with a higher probability of functional independence after thrombectomy than after medical management, particularly in patients with severe BAO.

Molecular characterization and functional analysis of Eimeria tenella ankyrin repeat-containing protein.

Chicken coccidiosis causes disastrous losses to the poultry industry all over the world. Eimeria tenella is the most prevalent of these disease-causing species. Our former RNA-seq indicated that E. tenella ankyrin repeat-containing protein (EtANK) was expressed differently between drug-sensitive (DS) and drug-resistant strains. In this study, we cloned EtANK and analyzed its translational and transcriptional levels using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and western blotting. The data showed that EtANK was significantly upregulated in diclazuril-resistant (DZR) strain and maduramicin-resistant (MRR) strain compared with the drug-sensitive (DS) strain. In addition, the transcription levels in the DZR strains isolated from the field were higher than in the DS strain. The translation levels of EtANK were higher in unsporulated oocysts (UO) than in sporozoites (SZ), sporulated oocysts (SO), or second-generation merozoites (SM), and the protein levels in SM were significantly higher than in UO, SO, and SZ. The results of the indirect immunofluorescence localization showed that the protein was distributed mainly at the anterior region of SZ and on the surface and in the cytoplasm of SM. The fluorescence intensity increased further with its development in vitro. An anti-rEtANK polyclonal antibody inhibited the invasive ability of E. tenella in DF-1 cells. These results showed that EtANK may be related to host cell invasion, required for the parasite's growth in the host, and may be involved in the development of E. tenella resistance to some drugs.

Demethylenative cyclization of 1,7-enynes using α-amino radicals as a traceless initiator enabled by Cu(I)-photosensitizers.

A rare type of demethylenative intramolecular cyclization of 1,7-enynes to access quinoline-2-(1H)-ones has been successfully developed under the catalysis of P/N-heteroleptic Cu(I)-photosensitizers. Preliminary mechanistic experiments revealed that the key to the success of this protocol lay in the α-amino radical addition-triggered tandem process of intramolecular radical cyclization/1,5-HAT/ß-fragmentation. This protocol provides a new avenue for the deconstructive cyclization of alkene derivatives.

FOXO3 suppresses lymphoma progression through promoting miR-34b/HSPG2 axis.

BACKGROUND: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of lymphoma, which caused many patients to lose their precious lives. FOXO3 was a suppressor in various cancers, however, the role and mechanism of FOXO3 in DLBCL remain unclear. METHODS: Bioinformatics analysis was used to offer information FOXO3 expression and its expression for prognosis of DLBCL patients. The abundance of genes and proteins was evaluated using RT-qPCR and western blot. Cell proliferation and apoptosis was detected by CCK-8 and flow cytometry. The interactions among FOXO3, miR-34b, and HSPG2 were predicted by TransmiR and Starbase and validated using dual luciferase reporter assay, ChIP assay, and RIP assay. RESULTS: Our findings revealed that FOXO3 expression was abnormally declined in DLBCL cells. FOXO3 upregulation restrained cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis of DLBCL cells, while miR-34b inhibitor eliminated these influences. Similarly, miR-34b mimic suppressed malignant behaviors of DLBCL cells, which were abolished by HSPG2 overexpression. Mechanically, FOXO3 induced miR-34b expression through interacting with miR-34b promoter and HSPG2 was a targeted gene of miR-34b. CONCLUSION: FOXO3 attenuated the capability of cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis rate of DLBCL cells through affecting miR-34b/HSPG2 axis, therefore inhibiting DLBCL progression.

Volatilome and flavor analyses based on e-nose combined with HS-GC-MS provide new insights into ploidy germplasm diversity in Platostoma palustre.

Platostoma palustre (Mesona chinensis Benth or Hsian-tsao, also known as "Xiancao" in China), is an edible and medicinal plant native to India, Myanmar, and Indo-China. It is the main ingredient in the popular desserts Hsian-tsao tea, herbal jelly, and sweet herbal jelly soup. P. palustre is found abundantly in nutrient-rich substances and possesses unique aroma compounds. Variations in the contents of volatile compounds among different germplasms significantly affect the quality and flavor of P. palustre, causing contradiction in demand. This study investigates the variation in the volatile compound profiles of distinct ploidy germplasms of P. palustre by utilising headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GC-MS) and an electronic nose (e-nose). The results showed significant differences in the aroma characteristics of stem and leaf samples in diverse P. palustre germplasms. A total of sixty-seven volatile compounds have been identified and divided into ten classes. Six volatile compounds (caryophyllene, α-bisabolol, benzaldehyde, ß-selinene, ß-elemene and acetic acid) were screened as potential marker volatile compounds to discriminate stems and leaves of P. palustre. In this study, leaves of P. palustre showed one odor pattern and stems showed two odor patterns under the influence of α-bisabolol, acetic acid, and butyrolactone. In addition, a correlation analysis was conducted on the main volatile compounds identified by HS-GC-MS and e-nose. This analysis provided additional insight into the variations among samples resulting from diverse germplasms. The present study provides a valuable volatilome, and flavor, and quality evaluation for P. palustre, as well as new insights and scientific basis for the development and use of P. palustre germplasm resources.

The Influence of Al and Nb on the Low Oxygen Pressure Pre-Oxidation Behavior of Fe-35Ni-20Cr-xAl-yNb Alloys at 1000 °C.

To investigate the impact of Al and Nb elements on the formation of a protective oxide layer on the surface of Fe-35Ni-20Cr-xAl-yNb (x = 0, 2, 4, 6 wt.%; y = 0, 1, 2 wt.%) alloys, their oxidation behavior was examined at 1000 °C, 10-17 atm. and 10-25 atm. oxygen pressure, and the oxidation mechanism was analyzed by Factsage and Pandat calculations. Enhancing the Al content at 10-17 atm. inhibited the generation of FeCr2O4 on the alloy surface and increased the Al content in the M2O3 layer. When the Al content exceeded 6 wt.%, the oxide film partially peeled off. It was found that the addition of Nb increased the activity of Cr and Al and decreased the activity of Ni and Fe and promoted the formation of Al2O3, and the appearance of Nb2O5 in the subsurface layer increased the density of the oxide film. In addition, under an oxygen pressure of 10-25 atm., the only protective layer on the surface of the alloy comprised of Al2O3. The experimental results demonstrated that the Fe-35Ni-20Cr-4Al-2Nb alloy generated a continuous and dense Al2O3 protective film, and the reduction in oxygen pressure and the addition of Nb elements were favorable for selective external oxidation of Al2O3.

Report on Pseudoaneurysm Caused by Injury of Internal Carotid Artery During Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery and Rebleeding After Treatment With Willis Covered Stent.

OBJECTIVE: Report on a case of pseudoaneurysm which was caused by injury of the internal carotid artery (ICA) during endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES), which was followed by rebleeding after treatment with a Willis covered stent. METHODS: A woman, aged 68, underwent EES for the treatment of a pituitary adenoma. During the surgery, the right ICA was injured, and successfully hemostasis by packed with cottonoid and gelatin sponge. Besides, cerebral angiography was performed in the interventional operating room for the purpose of discovering the formation of a pseudoaneurysm in the cavernous sinus segment of ICA, which was treated with a covered stent. After successfully placing the covered stent, the patient was promptly transferred to the general operating room for the removal of the cottonoid and to address the bleeding once again. The authors employ crushed muscles and cottonoid to locally compress and stop bleeding. Owing to concerns about the risk of rebleeding in the patient, after stent implantation, the patient did not utilize antiplatelet drugs. After the surgery, the patient developed occlusion of the right ICA and massive cerebral infarction in the right hemisphere. Dehydration, anti-infection, rehabilitation, hyperbaric oxygen, as well as related treatments, were given. The cottonoid was removed in EES 2 months postsurgery, and no instances of bleeding were observed. Six months after surgery, the patient had clear consciousness and hemiplegia in the left limb, with a Glasgow Outcome Scale score of 4. RESULTS: The ICA was injured during EES, which resulted in the formation of a pseudoaneurysm, the Willis stent was adopted for treatment, and there was a risk of rebleeding after the nasal packing (cottonoid, crushed muscles) was removed immediately. CONCLUSIONS: The ICA was injured during EES after bleeding was controlled by packing with cottonoid, crushed muscles, etc, subsequently, the patient was given intravascular treatment, it is advised to make thorough preparations and, after a suitable period, remove nasal packing in the hybrid operating room to address unexpected situations and unforeseen circumstances.

Functional properties and skin care effects of sodium trehalose sulfate.

BACKGROUND: It is known that heparinoid, a mucopolysaccharide polysulfate, is effective in improving rough skin and promoting blood circulation as medicines for diseased areas. However, heparinoid has a molecular weight of more than 5000 and cannot penetrate healthy stratum corneum. OBJECTIVE: We tested the efficacy of sulfated oligosaccharides with a molecular weight of less than 2000 on the human skin barrier function and moisturizing function. METHODS: We measured the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) of a three-dimensional human epidermis model cultured for 3 days after topical application of sulfated oligosaccharides, then observed the effects on TEWL suppression. The mRNA levels of proteins involved in intercellular lipid transport and storage in the stratum corneum, and moisture retention were measured using RT-qPCR. RESULTS: An increase in the mRNA levels of the ATP-binding cassette subfamily A member 12 (ABCA12), which transports lipids into stratum granulosum, was confirmed. Increases were also observed in the mRNA levels of filaggrin (FLG), which is involved in the generation of natural moisturizing factors, and of caspase-14, calpain-1 and bleomycin hydrolase, which are involved in the degradation of FLG. Antibody staining confirmed that the application of sodium trehalose sulfate to 3D model skin resulted in more ABCA12, ceramide, transglutaminase1, and FLG than those in controls. In a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, participants with low stratum corneum water content applied a lotion and emulsion containing sodium trehalose sulfate to their faces for 4 weeks. Sodium trehalose sulfate decreased the TEWL and increased the stratum corneum water content. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that cosmetics containing sodium trehalose sulfate act on the epidermis by increasing barrier factors and moisturizing factors, thereby ameliorating dry skin.

Bispectral Index Monitoring in the Nursing of Patients With Paroxysmal Sympathetic Hyperactivity.

AIM: To investigate the clinical nursing effect of bispectral index (BIS) monitoring for paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) patients in the neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU). METHODS: From January 2022 to June 2023, a total of 30 patients with PSH secondary to moderate to severe craniocerebral injury in the NICU were monitored for BIS. The patients' paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity-assessment measure (PSH-AM) scores were recorded. PSH patients generally appear in 3 states: calm state, seizure state, and postmedication state. Thirty PSH patients' BIS values were recorded during the calm period, during the seizure state, and postmedication state, and these 3 different stages' BIS values were divided into groups A, B, and C, using the Kruskal-Wallis H test to compare groups. RESULTS: The Kruskal-Wallis H test yielded a value of H=22.599, P <0.001. H0 was rejected against the test standard of α=0.05, and the BIS values of groups A, B, and C differed. The BIS values of group A and group B differed after a pairwise comparison, and the difference was statistically significant (adjusted P =0.001). Group B and group C had different BIS values, and the difference was statistically significant (adjusted P =0.001); group A and Group C had no difference in BIS values, and the difference was not statistically significant (adjusted P =1.00). CONCLUSIONS: Taking BIS value as the nursing observation index for PSH patients can make nursing work more objective, reasonable, and accurate, reduce the inducing factors of PSH attack, further reduce the attack of PSH, save nursing resources, and help guide the safety assessment of sedative use.

T-bet Regulates Ion Channels and Transporters and Induces Apoptosis in Intestinal Epithelial Cells.

T-bet, encoded by TBX21, is extensively expressed across various immune cell types, and orchestrates critical functions in their development, survival, and physiological activities. However, the role of T-bet in non-immune compartments, notably the epithelial cells, remains obscure. Herein, a Tet-O-T-bet transgenic mouse strain is generated for doxycycline-inducible T-bet expression in adult animals. Unexpectedly, ubiquitous T-bet overexpression causes acute diarrhea, intestinal damage, and rapid mortality. Cell-type-specific analyses reveal that T-bet-driven pathology is not attributable to its overexpression in CD4+ T cells or myeloid lineages. Instead, inducible T-bet overexpression in the intestinal epithelial cells is the critical determinant of the observed lethal phenotype. Mechanistically, T-bet overexpression modulates ion channel and transporter profiles in gut epithelial cells, triggering profound fluid secretion and subsequent lethal dehydration. Furthermore, ectopic T-bet expression enhances gut epithelial cell apoptosis and markedly suppresses colon cancer development in xenograft models. Collectively, the findings unveil a previously unrecognized role of T-bet in intestinal epithelial cells for inducing apoptosis, diarrhea, and local inflammation, thus implicating its potential as a therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases.

The mechanism of epigallocatechin-3-gallate inhibiting the antigenicity of ß-lactoglobulin under pH 6.2, 7.4 and 8.2: Multi-spectroscopy and molecular simulation methods.

The antigenicity of ß-lactoglobulin (ß-LG) can be influenced by pH values and reduced by epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). However, a detailed mechanism concerning EGCG decreasing the antigenicity of ß-LG at different pH levels lacks clarity. Here, we explore the inhibition mechanism of EGCG on the antigenicity of ß-LG at pH 6.2, 7.4 and 8.2 using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, multi-spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and molecular simulations. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and circular dichroism (CD) elucidate that the noncovalent binding of EGCG with ß-LG induces variations in the secondary structure and conformations of ß-LG. Moreover, EGCG inhibits the antigenicity of ß-LG the most at pH 7.4 (98.30 %), followed by pH 6.2 (73.18 %) and pH 8.2 (36.24 %). The inhibitory difference is attributed to the disparity in the number of epitopes involved in the interacting regions of EGCG and ß-LG. Our findings suggest that manipulating pH conditions may enhance the effectiveness of antigenic inhibitors, with the potential for further application in the food industry.

A hepatic sparganosis misdiagnosed as intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma: a case report and literature review.

Hepatic sparganosis (HS) is extremely rare and has not been previously reported in Eastern China. We report the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with HS from Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China. The patient was admitted due to an acute biliary tract infection, and the symptoms improved after treatment at the Gastroenterology Department. During an ultrasound examination on admission, an abnormal echo was incidentally discovered at the junction of the left and right lobes of the liver. Thereafter, upper abdominal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) non-contrast and contrast-enhanced examinations, and serum tumor biomarker examination were completed. After a multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) discussion at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, the patient was diagnosed with intrahepatic mass-type cholangiocarcinoma (IMCC) and surgery was recommended. The patient underwent surgical treatment, and postoperative pathology revealed HS. No signs of intrahepatic recurrence were observed during the 1-year follow-up period.

Difference in muscle metabolism caused by metabolism disorder of rainbow trout liver exposed to ammonia stress.

Ammonia pollution is an important environmental stress factors in water eutrophication. The intrinsic effects of ammonia stress on liver toxicity and muscle quality of rainbow trout were still unclear. In this study, we focused on investigating difference in muscle metabolism caused by metabolism disorder of rainbow trout liver at exposure times of 0, 3, 6, 9 h at 30 mg/L concentrations. Liver transcriptomic analysis revealed that short-term (3 h) ammonia stress inhibited carbohydrate metabolism and glycerophospholipid production but long-term (9 h) ammonia stress inhibited the biosynthesis and degradation of fatty acids, activated pyrimidine metabolism and mismatch repair, lead to DNA strand breakage and cell death, and ultimately caused liver damage. Metabolomic analysis of muscle revealed that ammonia stress promoted the reaction of glutamic acid and ammonia to synthesize glutamine to alleviate ammonia toxicity, and long-term (9 h) ammonia stress inhibited urea cycle, hindering the alleviation of ammonia toxicity. Moreover, it accelerated the consumption of flavor amino acids such as arginine and aspartic acid, and increased the accumulation of bitter substances (xanthine) and odorous substances (histamine). These findings provide valuable insights into the potential risks and hazards of ammonia in eutrophic water bodies subject to rainbow trout.
