Adaptive changes in the intestinal microbiota of giant pandas following reintroduction.

The biggest challenge during the reintroduction of captive giant pandas into the wild is their ability to adapt to the natural environment, and the role of gut microbiota in this process remains unknown. Here, the gut microbiota was analyzed and categorized into training, exploration (1-3 months post-release) and stable period (4-6 months post-release) by activity intensity of released pandas. We found that the gut microbiota diversity of pandas was significantly higher during the stable period compared to the training period.

Acupuncture as an adjunct therapy for enhancing endometrial receptivity in female infertility: a literature review.

Infertility remains a global challenge, with female factors accounting for the majority of cases. Endometrial receptivity (ER), the ability of the endometrium to accept and support embryo implantation, is a critical determinant of successful conception. Traditional Chinese medicine, specifically acupuncture, has been widely adopted as an adjunct therapy for enhancing ER and improving reproductive outcomes in infertile women.

Robust Multivariate Time Series Forecasting Against Intraseries and Interseries Transitional Shift.

The nonstationary nature of real-world multivariate time series (MTS) data presents forecasting models with a formidable challenge of the time-variant distribution of time series, referred to as distribution shift. Existing studies on the distribution shift mostly adhere to adaptive normalization techniques for alleviating temporal mean and covariance shifts or time-variant modeling for capturing temporal shifts. Despite improving model generalization, these normalization-based methods often assume a time-invariant transition between outputs and inputs but disregard specific intraseries/interseries correlations, while time-variant models overlook the intrinsic causes of the distribution shift.

Metabolic Syndrome and Insulin Resistance Are Associated With Normal-Range Aspartate Aminotransferase, Alanine Aminotransferase, and Their Ratio in Chinese Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Aim: To determine whether metabolic syndrome (MS), insulin resistance (IR), myocardial enzymes, and kidney function are related to the normal-range of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and their ratio in Chinese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Methods: The research, a secondary analysis of the Acupuncture and Clomiphene for Chinese Women with PCOS trial (PCOSAct), enrolled 922 participants with less than 40 U/L of AST and ALT. Linear regression and trend analyses were used to analyze the relationship between AST, ALT, AST/ALT ratio and anthropometric and metabolic characteristics.

Shared and distinct patterns of cortical morphometric inverse divergence and their association with empathy in dancers and musicians.

Neuroimaging research has demonstrated that long-term dance and music training can induce structural changes in the brain. However, most previous studies have focused on isolated structural metrics, neglecting the interregional similarities across cortical areas. In this study, we applied a novel morphometric measure, Morphometric Inverse Divergence (MIND), to assess cortical structural similarity in individuals with professional dance or music training.

Reliability of oscillometric blood pressure measurement using a wide-range cuff from 22 to 41 cm of arm circumference: validation of the Hingmed Q06B upper arm blood pressure monitor for blood pressure measurement at home evaluated in a general population according to the International Organization for Standardization 81060-2:2018 protocol.

Reintroduction training is instrumental in restoring the oral microbiota of giant pandas from "captivity" to "wildness".

Reintroduction programs aim to restore wild populations, yet success is challenged by host microbiome adaptation to natural environments. Here, we characterized the oral microbiota of giant pandas undergoing pre-release training, comparing them to captive and wild conspecifics, to assess training-induced microbial shifts. We found that after one year of reintroduction training, multi-generational captive giant pandas exhibited increased oral microbiome diversity, with community structure, composition, and predicted functions converging toward wild-type profiles.
