Research progress on the chemical composition of galli gigeriae endothelium corneum.

Galli Gigeriae Endothelium Corneum (GGEC), commonly known as "Ji Nei Jin" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is derived from the dried inner lining of the chicken gizzard. It has been widely used for centuries in China for treating indigestion, enuresis, gallstones, and urinary calculi. Recent studies have revealed that GGEC contains a variety of bioactive constituents, including proteins, amino acids, peptides, enzymes, and trace elements, which contribute to its diverse pharmacological activities.

Evolutionary history and divergence times of Tettigoniidae (Orthoptera) inferred from mitochondrial phylogenomics.

Background: Advances in high-throughput sequencing technology have led to a rapid increase in the number of sequenced mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes), ensuring the emergence of mitochondrial phylogenomics, as a powerful tool for understanding the evolutionary history of various animal groups.

Methods: In this study, we utilized high-throughput sequencing technology to assemble and annotate the mitogenomes of (Stål) and Ebner. We described the characteristics of the mitochondrial genes of these two species.

A sensitive electrochemiluminescence immunosensor for the detection of CA15-3 based on CeO/Pt/rGO as a novel co-reaction accelerator.

In this work, we successfully constructed a label-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor for the detection of breast cancer marker antigen (CA15-3). In particular, 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid (PTCA) is cleverly attached to the surface of silica spheres as a luminophore (NH-SiO-PTCA), which greatly alleviates the disadvantage of PTCA anti-induced aggregated luminescence and improves the ECL performance. Furthermore, Pt nanoparticles were used to dope CeO and introducing reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to prepare CeO/Pt/rGO composites as a novel co-reaction accelerator.

Rationally constructed ZnCdS-HDCs@InS-HNRs double-hollow heterojunction with promoted light capture capability for photoelectrochemical biosensing.

The construction of novel heterojunction is regarded as an operative scheme to promote the transport of photogenerated carriers and reduce electron-hole pair recombination to enhance the photoelectrochemical (PEC) performances. Herein, ZnCdS hollow dodecahedral nanocages (ZnCdS-HDCs) and InS hollow nanorods (InS-HNRs), which were derived from two different of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by solvothermal sulfidation method and were constructed an original double-hollow heterostructure ZnCdS-HDCs@InS-HNRs. The intrinsic mechanism of InS-HNRs benefiting from unique morphology to boost the photochemical properties under visible light irradiation was illustrated.

Risk factors of bicycle traffic injury among middle school students in chaoshan rural areas of china.

Background: Bicycle injuries are a leading cause of accidental death among children in the world, and bicycle-related injuries are also very common in China, thus to find out bicycle injury risk factors is imperative. This study aims to identify the cyclist-, bicycle- and road-related risk factors of bicycle injury, to develop health education programs as an intervention and to provide a scientific basis for establishing policies against bicycle injury.

Methods: We selected two middle schools randomly among seven schools in Chaoshan rural areas,where the main means of transportation for students from home to school was bicycle.

Dissipative soliton resonance in a passively mode-locked figure-eight fiber laser.

The generation of mode-locked rectangular pulses operating in dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) region is demonstrated in an erbium-doped figure-eight fiber laser with net anomalous dispersion. The duration of the wave-breaking-free rectangular pulse broadens with the increase of pump power. At a maximum pump power of 341 mW, the pulse energy can be up to 3.

Renal function of donors and recipients after living donor kidney transplantation in a Chinese cohort.

Background: Living donor kidney transplantation (LKT) has been booming in China. This study aimed to elucidate the renal function of both Chinese donors and recipients after the donation and transplantation.

Methods: One hundred and forty-one pairs of donors and recipients for LKT were randomly selected and followed up for up to seven years.
