In addition, compost (at both rates) increased availability (DTPA-extractable) of Fe, Mn and Zn, Cd, Ni, and Pb in the top soil (0-0.15 m). Total micronutrient and trace element tree content was not affected by fertilization treatments; however, the recycled fraction returned to the soil at the end of the season through abscised leaves and pruned…[Read more]

Marine invertebrates are provided as a first feed for marine fish larvae because of their strict nutritional requirements, despite also being a potential source of infectious agents.

To assess horizontal transmission of a nervous necrosis virus reassortant strain (NNV) to sole larvae via

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is high risk extensive abdominal surgery. During high risk surgery less-invasive methods for measurement of cardiac index (CI) have been widely used in operating theater. We investigated the accuracy of CI derived from different methods (FroTrac, ProAQT, ClearSight…[Read more]

To establish an electrophysiological model of alcoholic cardiomyopathy by inducing pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to differentiate into cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CM) in vitro.

The human iPSC were expanded in vitro and differentiated into iPSC-CM. The iPSC-CM were divided into a blank control group, an alcoholic experiment group (according to…[Read more]

Bioinformatics prediction and Luciferase assay demonstrated that circRNA_009934 served as a ceRNA of miR-5107 and regulated its downstream TRAF6 expression.

We first demonstrated that circRNA_009934 expression was increased in osteoclasts, which promoted osteoclastogenesis by serving as a ceRNA of miR-5107 and regulated the expression of…[Read more]

The adult worms of Angiostrongylus vasorum reside in the pulmonary artery of dogs and can lead to cardiac, respiratory, and central neurologic signs. Due to luminal obstruction and perivascular inflammation of the pulmonary artery branches, pulmonary hypertension can arise. Pulmonary hypertension, in turn, can lead to severe damage of the…[Read more]
