As the logistics infrastructure network constantly improves and the demand for low-carbon transition continues to increase, the green, low-carbon development of the logistics industry has displayed distinctive features of spatial association. Therefore evaluating the effects and causes of spatial association comprehensively and objectively to promote the low-carbon transition of the logistics industry and coordinated development between regions, is important. Based on the global EBM model of undesirable output, this study measured the green, low-carbon development level of inter-provincial logistics in China and revealed the spatial association features of low-carbon development in the logistics industry, as well as the formation mechanism.

The highly toxic aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is considered one of the primary risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma, while effective measures after AFB1 exposure remain to be optimized. This study utilized cell-surface-display technique to construct an engineered S. cerevisiae-pYD1-ScFv-AFB1 (S.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how particulate matter (PM) with diameters ≤2.5 µm affects asthma exacerbation and explores DNA methylation as a potential mechanism linking PM exposure to health issues in adults.
  • - Conducted in Beijing from 2017 to 2019 with 24 asthma patients, the research involved measuring PM exposure and analyzing blood samples to assess genome-wide DNA methylation impacts.
  • - Out of 811,001 CpG sites analyzed, 36 differentially methylated probes (DMPs) were found to be significantly associated with PM exposure, affecting biological processes like muscle contraction, T cell activation, and inflammation.

Background And Purpose: Chronic, nonspecific inflammation of the alveoli and airways is an important pathological feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), while sustained inflammatory reactions can cause alveolar damage. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) inhibit inflammation, whereas the interleukin-2/anti-interleukin-2 complex (IL-2C) increases the number of Tregs; however, whether the IL-2C has a therapeutic role in COPD remains unknown. Therefore, this study investigated whether IL-2C alleviates lung inflammation in COPD by increasing the number of Tregs.

In the 21st century, compressive health and functional foods are advocated by increasingly more people in order to eliminate sub-health conditions. Probiotics and postbiotics have gradually become the focus of scientific and nutrition communities. With the maturity and wide application of probiotics, the safety concerns and other disadvantages are non-negligible as we review here.

This study was designed to clarify the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in coronary artery lesions (CAL). Serum samples were acquired from healthy, febrile, and Kawasaki disease (KD) children with or without CAL. Standard blood parameters were examined and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to assess the levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9.
