Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for human physiological metabolism. The application of organic Se as a source to cultivate Se-rich plants for micronutrient supplementation has been receiving increasing attention. In our study, a bacterial strain named H1 was isolated from the soil in Heilongjiang Province, China, and under optimal culture conditions, the unit Se content could reach 3000 μg·g and its 16S ribosomal DNA sequence seemed to be a new molecular record of an species. After the domestication of Se tolerance and Se-rich experiments, H1 can be used as a Se source for cultivation of Se-rich . The results showed that soluble protein, soluble sugar, free amino acid and vitamin C contents in were notably increased by 28.7%, 21.8%, 32.5% and 39.2% under the treatment of Se concentration of 0.24 mg·kg, respectively. These findings enhance our understanding that H1 is more conducive to Se uptake and nutrient accumulation.

Introduction: Vision language models (VLMs) combine image analysis capabilities with large language models (LLMs). Because of their multimodal capabilities, VLMs offer a clinical advantage over image classification models for the diagnosis of optic disc swelling by allowing a consideration of clinical context. In this study, we compare the performance of non-specialty-trained VLMs with different prompts in the classification of optic disc swelling on fundus photographs.

Unlabelled: Anomalous origin of the coronary arteries is a rare congenital condition that can present as non-specific chest pain or shortness of breath or remain asymptomatic. Early identification is critical as certain variants are linked with a high risk of sudden cardiac death. Here, we report the case of a 53-year-old female with hypertension, hypothyroidism, obesity (class II) and a history of intermittent chest pain radiating to the left arm for two years.

Background: Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) type A/B, a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by biallelic mutations in the SMPD1 gene, presents with variable visceral and neurological manifestations. Arnold-Chiari malformation is a structural defect of the cerebellum and brainstem with distinct pathogenesis and clinical course. To our knowledge, the coexistence of these two conditions has not been previously reported.

Background: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a prevalent hereditary disorder, with its monogenic form linked to an elevated risk of early-onset ischemic heart disease. Evaluating the prevalence and penetrance of pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants associated with this disorder would provide valuable information supporting routine FH screening of the general population. Such informed screening would facilitate early identification of at-risk individuals, enabling timely intervention and management.

Background: Synaptic dysfunction and synapse loss occur in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The current study aimed to identify synaptic-related genes with diagnostic potential for AD.
Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were overlapped with phenotype-associated module selected through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), and synaptic-related genes.
