RESUMEN
Inner Mongolia cashmere goat is an excellent livestock breed formed through long-term natural selection and artificial breeding, and is currently a world-class dual-purpose breed producing cashmere and meat. Multi trait animal model is considered to significantly improve the accuracy of genetic evaluation in livestock and poultry, enabling indirect selection between traits. In this study, the pedigree, genotype, environment, and phenotypic records of early growth traits of Inner Mongolia cashmere goats were used to build multi trait animal model., Then three methods including ABLUP, GBLUP, and ssGBLUP wereused to estimate the genetic parameters and genomic breeding values of early growth traits (birth weight, weaning weight, average daily weight gain before weaning, and yearling weight). The accuracy and reliability of genomic estimated breeding value are further evaluated using the five fold cross validation method. The results showed that the heritability of birth weight estimated by three methods was 0.13-0.15, the heritability of weaning weight was 0.13-0.20, heritability of daily weight gain before weaning was 0.11-0.14, and the heritability of yearling weight was 0.09-0.14, all of which belonged to moderate to low heritability. There is a strong positive genetic correlation between weaning weight and daily weight gain before weaning, daily weight gain before weaning and yearling weight, with correlation coefficients of 0.77-0.79 and 0.56-0.67, respectively. The same pattern was found in phenotype correlation among traits. The accuracy of the estimated breeding values by ABLUP, GBLUP, and ssGBLUP methods for birth weight is 0.5047, 0.6694, and 0.7156, respectively; the weaning weight is 0.6207, 0.6456, and 0.7254, respectively; the daily weight gain before weaning was 0.6110, 0.6855, and 0.7357 respectively; and the yearling weight was 0.6209, 0.7155, and 0.7756, respectively. In summary, the early growth traits of Inner Mongolia cashmere goats belong to moderate to low heritability, and the speed of genetic improvement is relatively slow. The genetic improvement of other growth traits can be achieved through the selection of weaning weight. The ssGBLUP method has the highest accuracy and reliability in estimating genomic breeding value of early growth traits in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats, and is significantly higher than that from ABLUP method, indicating that it is the best method for genomic breeding of early growth weight in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats.

We investigated secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from ß-caryophyllene oxidation generated over a wide tropospheric temperature range (213-313 K) from ozonolysis. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) was used to deconvolute the desorption data (thermograms) of SOA products detected by a chemical ionization mass spectrometer (FIGAERO-CIMS). A nonmonotonic dependence of particle volatility (saturation concentration at 298 K, C298K*) on formation temperature (213-313 K) was observed, primarily due to temperature-dependent formation pathways of ß-caryophyllene oxidation products. The PMF analysis grouped detected ions into 11 compound groups (factors) with characteristic volatility. These compound groups act as indicators for the underlying SOA formation mechanisms. Their different temperature responses revealed that the relevant chemical pathways (e.g., autoxidation, oligomer formation, and isomer formation) had distinct optimal temperatures between 213 and 313 K, significantly beyond the effect of temperature-dependent partitioning. Furthermore, PMF-resolved volatility groups were compared with volatility basis set (VBS) distributions based on different vapor pressure estimation methods. The variation of the volatilities predicted by different methods is affected by highly oxygenated molecules, isomers, and thermal decomposition of oligomers with long carbon chains. This work distinguishes multiple isomers and identifies compound groups of varying volatilities, providing new insights into the temperature-dependent formation mechanisms of ß-caryophyllene-derived SOA particles.

A series of novel tetrahydropyrazolopyridone derivatives containing 1,3,4-triazole, triazolylmethyl, and partially saturated heterocyclic moieties as P2 binding element was designed, synthesized, and evaluated in vitro for anticoagulant activity in human and rabbit plasma. All compounds showed moderate to significant potency, and compounds 15b, 15c, 20b, 20c, and 22b were further examined for their inhibitory activity against human FXa in vitro. While compounds 15c and 22b were tested for rat venous thrombosis in vivo. The most promising compound 15c, with an IC50 (FXa) value of 0.14µM and 98% inhibition rate, warranted further investigation as an FXa inhibitor.

The nano-drug delivery system activated by the tumour microenvironment (TME) can effectively treat tumours with low toxicity. Based on a high level of reductive GSH in TME and the different coordination properties of Fe ions, this project intended to prepare a GSH-activated cascade catalytic nanoreactor for breast cancer treatment using Fe3+/Fe2+ as the molecular switch. In this study, the glucose oxidase (GOx) loaded iron alginate nano hydrogel (FeAlg/GOx) was prepared by the simple one-step titration method. Results showed that FeAlg/GOx could remain stable during in vivo circulation to avoid hypoglycaemia. When it reached the targeted tumour site, reductive GSH can reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+. Thereafter, FeAlg/GOx nanogel was broken and GOx was released to consume the essential nutrient glucose (Glu) to achieve tumour starvation therapy. Next, the substrate H2O2 generated by the reaction between GOx and Glu can be catalysed by Fe2+ to produce highly cytotoxic â¢OH in situ, which could further kill tumour cells. The in vivo pharmacodynamics results demonstrated that compared with the control group (V/V0 = 8.36 ± 1.73), FeAlg/GOx group showed the most significant anti-tumour effect with V/V0 of 3.08 ± 1.06. In conclusion, this "inactivated" FeAlg/GOx nanogel can be converted into "activated" therapeutic substances in situ to achieve starvation-chemodynamic combined treatment for breast cancer.

Thrombus related diseases seriously threaten human's health and life. The drawbacks of thrombolytic drugs, such as poor targeting ability and unexpected bleeding complications limit their clinical application. Thus, targeted delivery and controlled release of drugs at local thrombus sites to achieve efficient thrombolysis is an urgent event to be resolved. Herein, we developed an intelligent system MnO2/uPA@pep-Fuco for precise thrombolysis and thrombus inflammatory microenvironment remodeling. MnO2/uPA@pep-Fuco exhibited an excellent thrombus targeting ability via the high affinity of fucoidan (Fuco) for P-selectin overexpressed by activated platelets. And then pep-Fuco modified onto the surface of mesopore could be removed to release urokinase (uPA) locally under the high level of thrombin microenvironment in thrombus site. Meanwhile, due to the catalase-like activity of MnO2 nanoplatform, MnO2/uPA@pep-Fuco could regulate the inflammatory thrombus microenvironment by eliminating hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), so as to achieve a collaborative thrombolysis therapy. In ferric chloride (FeCl3)-induced carotid thrombus models, MnO2/uPA@pep-Fuco specifically targeted to the obstructive artery (3.43 times that of the normal artery) and significantly decreased the percentage of thrombus closure (5.99 ± 5.07%), demonstrating the superior thrombolysis ability. In addition, the significantly reduced tail bleeding time suggested MnO2/uPA@pep-Fuco might possess a low risk of bleeding complications.
