    Abstract Background: Heart failure (HF) represents one of healthcare's biggest challenges. Although rarely noticed, aging is a crucial risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Our study aims to reveal aging's role in HF by integrating single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) and bulk RNA-sequencing databases.
    Methods: We collected HF heart sample data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and senescence gene data from CellAge. The FindCluster () package was used for cell cluster analysis. Differentially expressed genes (DEG) were identified operating the FindMarkers function. Cell activity score calculation was performed using the AUCell package. UpSetR plotted the intersection between DEGs of active cell types, bulk data DEGs, and genes associated with aging. Using the DGIdb database gene-drug interaction data, we search for potential targeted therapeutics based on common senescence genes.
    Results: The scRNA-seq data revealed myocardial heterogeneity in HF tissues. A series of crucial common senescence genes were found. The senescence gene expression profile hints at an intriguing connection between monocytes and HF. After analyzing the DEGs in the bulk dataset, the DEGs in scRNA-seq, the DEGs in each active cell type, and senescence genes, we identified ten genes as common senescence genes present in HF. Correlation analysis of transcriptomics, proteomics, and ceRNA was performed to provide ideas for future studies individually. Moreover, we discovered that common senescence genes and potential therapeutic drugs interact among different cell types. Further research is needed on the expression pattern of senescence genes and molecular regulation in HF.
    Conclusions: In summary, we identified the functional significance of the senescence gene in HF using integrated data. It is possible that this more profound understanding of how senescence contributes to the development of HF will aid in unraveling the mechanisms that promote the disease and provide hints for developing therapeutics.

    Abstract Introduction: Nitric oxide (NO) is present in various cell types in the central nervous system and plays a crucial role in the control of various cellular functions. The diurnal Mongolian gerbil is a member of the rodent family Muridae that exhibits unique physiological, anatomical, and behavioral differences from the nocturnal rat and mouse, which render it a useful model for studying the visual system. The purpose of this study was to confirm the distribution and morphology of neurons that contain nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and their pattern of co-expressing NOS with neuropeptide Y (NPY), somatostatin (SST), and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the visual cortex of Mongolian gerbils.
    Materials and methods: Mongolian gerbils were used in the study. We confirmed the localization of NOS in the visual cortex of Mongolian gerbils using horseradish peroxidase immunocytochemistry, fluorescent immunocytochemistry, and conventional confocal microscopy.
    Results: NOS-immunoreactive (IR) neurons were present in all layers of the visual cortex of the Mongolian gerbil, with the exception of layer I, with the highest density observed in layer V (50.00%). The predominant type of NOS-IR neurons was multipolar round/oval cells (60.96%). Two-color immunofluorescence revealed that 100% NOS-IR neurons were co-labeled with NPY and SST and 34.55% were co-labeled with GABA.
    Conclusions: Our findings of the laminar distribution and morphological characteristics of NOS-IR neurons, as well as the colocalization patterns of NOS-IR neurons with NPY, SST, and GABA, indicated the presence of species-specific differences, suggesting the functional diversity of NO in the visual cortex. This study provides valuable data on the anatomical organization of NOS-IR neurons and, consequently, a better understanding of the functional aspects of NO and species diversity.

    Abstract Lithium-sulfur batteries have garnered significant attention as a promising next-generation battery technology due to their potential for high energy density. However, their practical application is hampered by slow reaction kinetics and the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfide intermediates.

    Abstract Introduction: While most animals of the Muridae family are nocturnal, the gerbil displays diurnal activity and provides a useful model for visual system research. The purpose of this study was to investigate the localization of calcium-binding proteins (CBPs) in the visual cortex of the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus). We also compared the labeling of CBPs to those of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)- and nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-containing neurons.
    Material and methods: The study was conducted on twelve adult Mongolian gerbils (3-4 months old). We used horseradish peroxidase immunocytochemistry and two-color fluorescence immunocytochemistry with conventional and confocal microscopy to assess CBPs localization in the visual cortex.
    Results: The highest density of calbindin-D28K (CB)- (34.18%) and parvalbumin (PV)-IR (37.51%) neurons was found in layer V, while the highest density of calretinin (CR)-IR (33.85%) neurons was found in layer II. The CB- (46.99%), CR- (44.88%), and PV-IR (50.17%) neurons mainly displayed a multipolar round/oval morphology. Two-color immunofluorescence revealed that only 16.67%, 14.16%, and 39.91% of the CB-, CR-, and PV-IR neurons, respectively, contained GABA. In addition, none of the CB-, CR-, and PV-IR neurons contained NOS.
    Conclusions: Our findings indicate that CB-, CR-, and PV-containing neurons in the Mongolian gerbil visual cortex are distributed abundantly and distinctively in specific layers and in a small population of GABAergic neurons but are limited to subpopulations that do not express NOS. These data provide a basis for the potential roles of CBP-containing neurons in the gerbil visual cortex.

    Abstract Intertidal flats are of great socio-economic and ecological importance in defending the coastal cities from flooding, providing resources for land reclamations and habits for wildlife. On the intertidal flats, milder profiles are usually featured with finer sediment. However, we find the opposite relationship between the alongshore variation in intertidal slope and sediment grain size on the intertidal flat along the Jiangsu Coast. With a conceptual figure of the hydrodynamics and shoreline evolution on this coast, we hypothesize that the unexpected pattern is caused by the alongshore gradient in hydrodynamic forcing. In order to test our hypothesis, we carry out a series of numerical model simulations in a highly schematized manner to investigate the real mechanism behind this unexpected pattern. Through the analysis, we find that only the southwards coarsening pattern is inconsistent with the shoreline evolution pattern. This inconsistency is not induced by alongshore hydrodynamic gradient, and can only be explained by different sediment provenances. We also find that the alongshore shoreline evolution pattern is not only determined by the alongshore gradient in hydrodynamic forcing, but also influenced by the alongshore variation in bed composition. In the erosion/sedimentation transition zone, the bed composition factor plays the major role.
