The gut microbiota of pregnant and non-pregnant female Hipposideros pomona.

The Pomona roundleaf bats (Hipposideros pomona) have unique ecological and physiological adaptations to various habitats in South Asia, including China. Despite its ecological significance, the gut microbiota plays a key role in regulating host immunity and reproductive physiology, possibly connecting microbial dynamics to fertility outcomes. In this study, we used V3-V4 16 S rRNA high-throughput sequencing to elucidate the diverse microbiota structure of pregnant and non-pregnant female H.

Systemic treatment of liver cancer: Current status and future perspectives.

Primary liver cancer, a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract, ranks fifth in global cancer incidence and shows high morbidity and mortality. Liver cancer patients who are diagnosed early have the option of surgical resection, which offers the possibility of a radical cure. However, due to the insidious disease onset, most patients are diagnosed in the intermediate or advanced stages, and surgery is no longer a viable option.

Genetic and Antiviral Potential Characterization of Four Insect-Specific Viruses Identified and Isolated from Mosquitoes in Yunnan Province.

Mosquitoes, comprising over 300 species, are pivotal vectors for transmitting arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) to vertebrates via bites, posing a significant public health threat with approximately 700,000 annual deaths. In contrast, insect-specific viruses (ISVs) exclusively infect insects and have no direct impact on human health. Yunnan Province in China, located in tropical and subtropical regions, provides an ideal environment for mosquito habitation and has the highest diversity of known mosquito-borne viruses.

Regulating the Electronegativity Difference and Piezoelectric Strain of the S-Mo-S Structure via Introducing Mo Vacancies for Boosting Piezo-Photoelectric Activity.

Recently, piezoelectric and photocatalytic processes have shown excellent synergistic effect addressing environmental remediation challenges. Herein, a nanoflower-like Mo vacancy-modulated MoS (V-MoS) piezo-photocatalyst with different V densities has been successfully synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal method. The high V density (12%) facilitates the enhancement of the photocatalytic activity but compromises its structural stability, resulting in unsatisfactory piezoelectric activity.

Ultrafast, Targeting Fluorion-Capture Electrochemical Nanosystem Assembled with Polymeraldine Salt-Modulated TiCT MXene.

Fluoride-containing groundwater has become a major concern since it serves as a source of drinking water for over half the world's population. Here, we develop an ion-selective polymeraldine salt (PANI-Cl; PANI = polyaniline) modulated TiCT MXene electrode as a mediator for electrochemical capture of fluoride ion (F) from groundwater. The single-stage configuration equipped with PANI-Cl/TiCT electrode as anode and activated carbon as cathode exhibits an ultrafast removal rate of 4.

Diversity and Potential Cross-Species Transmission of Rotavirus A in Wild Animals in Yunnan, China.

Rotavirus A (RVA) is the primary enteric pathogen of humans and many other species. However, RVA interspecies transmission remains poorly understood. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive screening and genotyping analysis of RVA in 1706 wild animal samples collected from various regions within Yunnan Province, China.

Internal Electric Field-Modulated Charge Migration Behavior in MoS /MIL-53(Fe) S-Scheme Heterojunction for Boosting Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Chlorinated Antibiotics Degradation.

Inadequate photo-generated charge separation, migration, and utilization efficiency limit the photocatalytic efficiency. Herein, a MoS /MIL-53(Fe) photocatalyst/activator with the S-scheme heterojunction structure is designed and the charge migration behavior is modulated by the internal electric field (IEF). The IEF intensity is enhanced to 40 mV by modulating band bending potential and the depletion layer length of MoS .

Identification and Characterization of Jingmen Tick Virus in Ticks from Yunnan Imported Cattle.

Jingmen tick virus (JMTV) is a tick-borne segmented positive-sense ssRNA virus that can cause human disease. This virus has been confirmed to be widespread, having a wide host range. In human it can cause fever, headache, lymphadenopathy, and asthenia.
