Background: Perturbed lipid metabolism in cellular environment plays an essential role in the progression of peripheral neuropathy, such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A). Current deep-profiling of lipidome still has certain limitations for high-throughput analysis of clinical samples, such as low sensitivity, extensive requirement of instrument modification, technician-dependent pretreatment and lack of method-adapted data-processing software.

Results: Herein, a new generation aza-Prilezhaev aziridination (APA) reagent has been designed for coupling with high-resolution liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to conduct comprehensive untargeted deep lipidomics of CMT1A disease.

Background: This study seeks to assess the impact of traditional Chinese exercises (Tai Chi, Baduanjin, Yijinjing, Wuqinxi, and Liuzijue) on cognitive function in older adults through a systematic review and meta-analysis. It examines their effects on global cognitive performance, as well as specific cognitive domains, providing robust evidence to support the enhancement of cognitive function in the elderly.

Methods: A thorough search was executed across eight key databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, Web of Science, Wanfang Data, the Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure.

PEO is one of the common composite polymer electrolyte vehicles; however, the presence of crystalline phase at room temperature, high interface impedance, and low oxidation resistance (<4.0 V) limit its application in stable all-solid-state lithium metal batteries. Herein, we designed a PEO-based solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) by adding boehmite nanoparticles to address the above-mentioned issues.

Herbal tea residues (HTRs) are a by-product of herbal tea processing that contains many nutrients and active substances but are often discarded as waste. The main aim of the present study was to determine the food safety of HTRs and lay the foundation for its use as a novel feed resource for goats. In this study, discarded HTRs were fermented and then fed to 33 female Chuanzhong black goats (121 ± 4.

Avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a prototype of the group III coronaviruses and encodes 15 nonstructural proteins which make up the transcription/replication machinery. The nsp2 protein from IBV has a unique and novel sequence and has no experimentally confirmed function in replication, whereas it has been proposed to be crucial for early viral infection and may inhibit the early host immune response. The gene that encodes a double-mutant IBV nsp2 N-terminal domain (residues 9-393 of the polyprotein, with mutations Q132L and L270F) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli and the protein was subjected to crystallization trials.
