ObjectThis study aims to investigate the changes in gut microbiota and metabolism of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 1–2, as well potential impact hyperuricemia (HUA) on these factors CKD 1–2 patients.MethodsIn this study, fecal samples were collected from without HUA (CKD-N group), (CKD-H healthy people controls (HCs group). The then subjected microbiome (16S rRNA gene sequenc...

Objective There is some evidence for an association between gut microbiota and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), alcoholic (ALD), viral hepatitis, but no studies have explored their causal relationship. Methods Instrumental variables of the (N = 13266) microbiota-derived metabolites 7824) were acquired, a Mendelian randomization study was performed to explore influence on NAFLD (1483 Eu...

Abstract In the current era of attention economy, users find themselves in social networks over-saturated with advertising that tends not to catch public’s or have great credibility. this sense, brands are trying get closer their audiences by using non-invasive, user-generated storytelling strategies a more natural and experience-focused message. This research aims compare which narrative eleme...

The objectives of this study were to investigate the shifts in rumen and colon mucosa-associated microbiota dairy calves fed a high milk replacer feeding rate before after weaning determine whether such are associated with tissue physiological measures. Longitudinal biopsy was performed collect mucosal tissues 4 ruminally cannulated Holstein bull (weaned at 6 wk age) end 5 (before weaning), 7 (...

Over the three-day gasification test of a large coal block with oxygen in atmospheric pressure conditions, yield and composition tar collected was investigated. The sampled approximately every 7 h into sorption tubes directly from reactor outlet. Sand, moisture content 11%, used as an insulating material to simulate environment gasified seam. Light aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX), phenols, polycyc...

In this study, we evaluate the effect of HO-1 upregulation on blood pressure and cardiac function in the new model of infarct spontaneous hypertensive rats (ISHR). Male spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR) at 13 weeks (n = 40) and age-matched male Wistar (WT) rats (n = 20) were divided into six groups: WT (sham + normal saline (NS)), WT (sham + Co(III) Protoporphyrin IX Chloride (CoPP)), SHR (my...

An important general concern in cancer research is how diverse genetic alterations and regulatory pathways can produce common signaling outcomes. In this study, we report the construction of cancer models that combine unique regulation and common signaling. We compared and functionally analyzed sets of genetic alterations, including somatic sequence mutations and copy number changes, in breast,...

The 3' splice site of group I introns is defined, in part, by base pairs between the intron core and residues just upstream of the splice site, referred to as P9.0. We have studied the specificity imparted by P9.0 using the well-characterized L-21 Scal ribozyme from Tetrahymena by adding residues to the 5' end of the guanosine (G) that functions as a nucleophile in the oligonucleotide cleavage ...

Ebolaviruses, highly lethal zoonotic pathogens, possess longer genomes than most other non-segmented negative-strand RNA viruses due in part to long 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) present in the seven viral transcriptional units. To date, specific functions have not been assigned to these UTRs. With reporter assays, we demonstrated that the Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV) 5'-UTRs lack internal r...
