Exogenous Sucrose Improves the Vigor of Aged Safflower Seeds by Mediating Fatty Acid Metabolism and Glycometabolism.

Safflower ( L.) seeds, rich in triacylglycerols, have poor fatty acid-to-sugar conversion during storage, affecting longevity and vigor. Previous experiments have shown that the aging of safflower seeds is mainly related to the impairment of energy metabolism pathways such as glycolysis, fatty acid degradation, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle.

Effects of different timing nutritional support on the growth and development < 2 kg newborns and mothers' anxiety and depression.

Background: Newborns with low-birth-weight may lag behind those with normal-birth-weight in terms of growth, development, and nutritional status, which increases mothers' concerns about the child's future health and leads to anxiety and depression. Providing nutritional support to newborns with low-birth-weight to facilitate optimal growth and development may help alleviate maternal anxiety and depression.

Aim: To explore the effects of nutritional support timing on the growth and development of newborns born under 2 kg and their mothers' anxiety and depression.

Synergistic integration of 2D MOF films and gold nanoparticles for multifunctional surface plasmon resonance sensing.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), known for their high porosity and tunable properties, have attracted significant interest in enhancing the sensitivity and functionality of plasmonic optoelectronic devices. However, their application in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) fiber-optic sensors remains challenging due to difficulties in the preparation and transfer of large-area two-dimensional (2D) MOFs. Here, a large-area continuous ultrathin MOF film was successfully fabricated using an interfacial synthesis strategy and seamlessly adhered to the tilted fiber Bragg gratings (TFBG).

Wooden ionogel with simultaneous sorption-desorption functionality enabling 24-hour continuous atmospheric water production.

Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH) offers a promising solution to address freshwater scarcity. Although many solid sorbents exhibit high water uptake capacities, their ability to achieve continuous, all-day water production still depends on complex system configurations. Here, a 24-h SAWH system is presented, enabled by wood-based ionogel (WIG) with simultaneous sorption-desorption functionality.

Cascaded Plasmonic Coupling Based on Tilted Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors for Ultrasensitive and Noninvasive microRNA Detection.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) serve as critical biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and disease monitoring due to their dysregulated expression in malignancies. However, their low abundance, short length, and high sequence similarity pose significant detection challenges. Here, we present a plasmonic sensing platform that integrates Au@ZIF-8 core-shell nanostructures with a gold-coated tilted fiber Bragg grating surface plasmon resonance sensor.

A combination of germination and moderate milling improves the textural quality and alters starch digestion characteristics of brown rice.

This study aimed to explore the effects and mechanism of the combination of germination and moderate milling in changing the texture and starch digestion of brown rice (BR). For nutritional profile, the moisture and fat contents decreased in germinated BR (GBR), while further moderate milling (degree of milling, DOM at 1 % and 2 %) increased starch but decreased γ-GABA and vitamin B1 in GBR. Notches and structural damages were observed in GBR and GBR-DOM samples via SEM.

Mathematical modeling provides a powerful tool to explore the dynamics of antibiotic resistance, yet few models have considered the effect of biological noise, which originates from microscopic interactions between bacteria.

Structural Insights into the Force-Transducing Mechanism of a Motor-Stator Complex Important for Bacterial Outer Membrane Lipid Homeostasis.

Gram-negative bacteria assemble an asymmetric outer membrane (OM) that functions as an effective barrier against antibiotics. Building a stable and functional OM requires the assembly and maintenance of balanced levels of proteins, lipopolysaccharides, and phospholipids into the bilayer. In , the trans-envelope Tol-Pal complex has recently been established to play a primary role in maintaining OM lipid homeostasis.

The impact of fiscal pressure on education expenditure: Evidence from China.

Adjusting the tax distribution relationship among governments at all levels in the reform of the fiscal and taxation system will inevitably trigger changes in local government fiscal revenue. Will the fiscal pressures accompanying such changes have a significant impact on the expenditure decisions of local governments? Drawing on the 2002 Income Tax Sharing Reform in China as a quasi-natural experiment, we apply an intensity difference-in-difference methodology to evaluate how fiscal pressure influence county-level education provision. The empirical evidence indicates that counties most exposed to the reform experienced a marked reduction in the proportion of fiscal expenditure devoted to education, with the impact exhibiting a lagged and persistent pattern.

Kaempferol alleviates sepsis related acute lung injury by inhibiting the activation of alveolar macrophages mediated by extracellular vesicles from alveolar epithelial cells.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is the most serious complication of sepsis, but there is currently a lack of effective treatment methods. Therefore, finding drugs to treat sepsis induced acute lung injury (SALI) is an urgent clinical problem that needs to be solved. Kaempferol has been proven to have therapeutic effects on various lung diseases.
