Comparative Analysis of the Mitochondrial Genomes of Five Species of (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae) and the Phylogenetic Implications of Anostostomatidae.

In China, Anostostomatidae is represented by a single tribe, Anabropsini; two genera; and 33 species. Although extensive research has been conducted on Anabropsini, the monophyly of this tribe within Anostostomatidae remains unverified. Furthermore, the phylogenetic relationships within remain under debate.

Circulated echovirus 18 strains in Guangdong Province and worldwide: A novel perspective on genetic diversity and recombination patterns.

Echovirus 18 (E18) has re-emerged as a global public health concern in recent years because of its association with severe neonatal systemic diseases that pose a risk of high mortality. The lack of effective intervention strategies for E18 infections is largely attributed to limited knowledge regarding molecular epidemiology and recombination patterns. In this study, we obtained seven full-length E18 sequences from infants in Guangdong Province and combined them with representative sequences from GenBank.

Complete mitochondrial genome of (Anabropsinae: Anostostomatidae) from China.

The mitogenome was 15,696 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. All 13 protein-coding genes started with the ATN codons and terminated with TAA/TAG, except and , which ended with incomplete T.

Comparative Mitochondrial Genomic and Phylogenetic Study of Eight Species of the Family Lonchodidae (Phasmatodea: Euphasmatodea).

Lonchodidae is the largest family within the order Phasmatodea, and although many studies have been conducted on this family, the monophyly of the family has not been established. Eight mitogenomes from Lonchodidae, including the first complete mitogenomes of four genera, were sequenced and annotated to explore their features and phylogenetic relationships. The total length ranged from 15,942-18,021 bp, and the mitogenome consisted of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region (CR).

Detection of spp. Related Co-Infections Among Children with Diarrheal Diseases in Guangzhou, China.

Background: Diarrheal diseases caused by gastrointestinal pathogens contribute to the high morbidity and mortality in children worldwide. infection is one of the leading causes of diarrhea, especially in children under 5 years of age. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of infection and its co-infection patterns in relation to clinical symptoms.

Contribution to subfamily Rhaphidophorinae Walker, 1869 (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae) in China IX: New additions of Rhaphidophora from Yunnan and Xizang.

This paper describes three new species of Rhaphidophora from Yunnan and Xizang, China and the female sex of Rhaphidophora heterodentis Shen, Wang & He, 2024. All the specimens are deposited in Guangxi Normal University.

Comprehensive Analysis of Fecal Microbiome and Metabolomics Uncovered dl-Norvaline-Ameliorated Obesity-Associated Disorders in High-Fat Diet-Fed Obese Mice by Targeting the Gut Microbiota.

Norvaline is a nonproteinogenic amino acid and an important food ingredient supplement for healthy food. In this study, dl-norvaline administration reduced body weight by more than 40% and improved glucose metabolism and energy metabolism in obese mice induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). Combination analysis of microbiome and metabolomics showed that dl-norvaline supplementation regulated gut bacteria structure, such as increasing beneficial bacteria (, , , , , , , and ) and decreasing harmful bacteria (, , , , , and ) and modulated the metabolites involved in arachidonic acid metabolism, thus further promoting short-chain fatty acid production and improving gut barrier, thereby inflammatory responses and oxidative stress were ameliorated.

Amelioration of Obesity-Related Disorders in High-Fat Diet-Fed C57BL/6 Mice Following Fecal Microbiota Transplantation From DL-Norvaline-Dosed Mice.

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) could significantly alter the recipient's gut bacteria composition and attenuate obesity and obesity-related metabolic syndromes. DL-norvaline is a nonproteinogenic amino acid and possesses anti-obesity potential. However, the specific mechanisms by which gut microbiota might mediate beneficial effects of DL-norvaline have not been completely elucidated.

Effects of exopolysaccharides form Lactobacillus plantarum KX041 on high fat diet-induced gut microbiota and inflammatory obesity.

Lactobacillus plantarum KX041 is a probiotics obtained from early screening, which can relieve inflammation and enrich the anti-obesity intestinal flora, and produce high yield of exopolysaccharides (EPS). The extraction, structure and physicochemical properties of EPS have been completed earlier. However, whether the functional activity of L.

Comparative Mitogenomics and Phylogenetic Implications for Nine Species of the Subfamily Meconematinae (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae).

Currently, the subfamily Meconematinae encompasses 1029 species, but whole-mitochondrial-genome assemblies have only been made available for 13. In this study, the whole mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of nine additional species in the subfamily Meconematinae were sequenced. The size ranged from 15,627 bp to 17,461 bp, indicating double-stranded circular structures.

Preparation of blast furnace dust particle electrodes and their application in synergistic electrochemical degradation of saline polyvinyl alcohol wastewater.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has been widely used as a water-soluble plastic in laundry and dish detergent pods, yet wastewater contaminated with PVA is too difficult to be treated due to its high salinity and foaming. Here, we fabricated blast furnace dust (BFD) particle electrodes, and developed a three-dimensional electrocatalytic system (3DEC) to treat saline PVA wastewater. The optimum preparation condition for BFD particle electrode was iron carbon ratio of 2:1 doping with TiO.

Effects of ageing time on the properties of polysaccharide in tangerine peel and its bacterial community.

To evaluate the effect of aging time on the quality of tangerine peel (TP) from the perspective of TP polysaccharide (TPP), five polysaccharide samples with different aging times named TPP-0/1/5/10/15 were prepared. Under the conditions of pH 0.5, solid-liquid ratio 1:25 and 80 °C, the TPPs extraction yield ranged from 20.

Probiotic of NWAFU-BIO-BS29 Isolated from Chinese Traditional Fermented Milk and Its Potential Therapeutic Applications Based on Gut Microbiota Regulation.

Multiple reflection and scattering effects of the lotus seedpod-based activated carbon decorated with CoO microwave absorbent.

The lotus seedpod-based activated carbon (LSAC) is derived from pyrolysis of lotus seedpod as biomass carbon precursor, and CoO is then deposited to LSAC by oxidation-precipitation and crystallization process of Co ions from Co(NO) solution. The CoO particles uniformly decorate on the surface and/or the inner channels of LSAC. The optimal reflection loss (RL) value of LSAC/CoO-paraffin wax (PW) composite reaches -39.
