Molecular chaperones, especially heat shock proteins (HSPs) have vital functions in cells' responses to stress. Here, we cloned and sequenced the complete complementary DNA encoding HSP90 () from the shrimp . The cDNA comprised 3162 bp, including a 2172 bp coding region encoding a 724 amino acid-protein (predicted molecular mass = 83.12 kDa). Homology and phylogenetic analyses showed that MjHSP90 was highly conserved and most homologous to HSP90. is expressed in all tested tissues, with high expression in gill tissue and the hepatopancreas. Cold stress significantly upregulated expression in the gill and hepatopancreas ( < 0.05). Following RNA interference knockdown of , the cold stress-related death rate of the shrimp increased significantly, accompanied by significantly upregulated expression of apoptosis-related genes and ( < 0.05) and an increase in the number of apoptotic cells. The results indicated that might play a pivotal role in the shrimp's immune response to cold stress.

Atypical cellular gill disease (ACGD) in ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis) caused by P. altivelis poxvirus (PaPV) infection has led to significant economic losses in Japanese aquaculture. The propagation of PaPV has not yet been successfully achieved in cultured cells.

In mammals, neuropeptide Y (NPY) has been recognized for its role in modulating the immune response of host. However, invertebrate neuropeptide F (NPF), as a homologous gene of NPY, has been minimally explored immunomodulatory function. In this study, NPF and NPF receptor (NPFR) mRNAs were significantly up-regulated in sick Sepiella japonica, and in juvenile S.

Litopenaeus vannamei exhibits strong salinity adaptation; however, its survival and growth are significantly reduced in freshwater environments. To investigate the response mechanisms of L. vannamei to freshwater conditions, gill tissues from shrimp cultured for 30 days in both freshwater and seawater environments were used as experimental material in this study.

Introduction: The United Kingdom National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) allocates funding and provides infrastructure, training and capacity building for research. NIHR expects that patient and public involvement (PPI) is embedded within research it supports. There is a need to understand more about what guidance is offered to researchers across PPI frameworks.

Background: Composite outcomes in cardiovascular trials often group events of unequal clinical importance, and conventional analyses may obscure treatment trade-offs. Generalised pairwise comparisons (GPC), expressed as a win ratio (WR), allow for hierarchical ranking of events and incorporation of recurrent outcomes, providing a potentially more intuitive assessment of benefit-risk.
Methods: In a prespecified exploratory analysis of the 2×2 factorial, randomised CLEAR (Colchicine and Spironolactone in Patients with Myocardial Infarction) trial (7062 patients within 72 hours of acute myocardial infarction (MI) and percutaneous coronary intervention), we applied both time-to-first and recurrent-event GPC to reassess low-dose colchicine (0.
