    Abstract A 10-week feeding trial was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary fish meal replacement by yeast hydrolysate (YH) on growth performance, complement system and stress resistance of juvenile Jian carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Jian) (initial average weight 19.44 ± 0.06 g). In the study, there were five groups: one control group was fed with a basal diet (YH0), and four treatment groups were fed with dietary fish meal replaced by 1% YH (YH1), 3% (YH3), 5% (YH5) and 7% (YH7), respectively. Each group had four replicates. At the end of feeding trial, twelve fish from each group (three fish per replicate) were randomly selected for assessing the growth and immunity. Meanwhile, 20 fish per replicate were injected by Aeromonas hydrophila. The results showed that (1) Replacement levels of YH significantly affected the growth of the fish with the highest values of weight gain (WG) occurred in fish fed YH3 diet. However, no significant difference in feed conversion ratios (FCR) was observed among all groups. (2) Pre-stressed plasma lysozyme activity, total protein and albumin contents and complement component 3 (C3) and complement component 4 (C4) levels of fish fed YH3 diet were significantly higher than those of fish fed YH0 diet. However, post-stressed immune parameters of fish in all groups were significantly lower. (3) There was a trend that the expression levels of the complement-related genes (c1r/s-A, c4-1, c3-H1, c5-1, fb/c2-A, mbl-2 and masp) initially increased and then decreased except mbl-2 and masp, with the maximum values observed in fish fed YH3 diet. Before stress, the expression levels of the inflammation-related genes (alp, il-1β and tnf-α) in the hepatopancreas and spleen of fish fed YH1 diet and YH7 diet were significant higher than that of fish fed YH0 diet. After stress, no significant difference in the expression levels of those genes was observed among all groups. These results indicated that FM replacement by YH could improve growth performance, enhance innate immunity, and activate complement via the alternative complement pathway (ACP) and the classical complement pathway (CCP).

    Abstract In this study, a stochastic SIRS epidemic model that features constant immigration and general incidence rate is investigated. Our findings show that the dynamical behaviors of the stochastic system can be predicted using the stochastic threshold $ R_0^S $. If $ R_0^S < 1 $, the disease will become extinct with certainty, given additional conditions. Conversely, if $ R_0^S > 1 $, the disease has the potential to persist. Moreover, the necessary conditions for the existence of the stationary distribution of positive solution in the event of disease persistence is determined. Our theoretical findings are validated through numerical simulations.

    Abstract This paper employs an innovative investigation approach to study pore evolution in Al-Si-Mg-Cu alloy within aluminum foam sandwiches (AFS) by integrating data from heating-expansion ratio curves, in situ observation of synchronous radiation, and microscopic analysis of the matrix's microstructure at different stages. Additionally, the cavity design and plate type control for large-scale AFS production are explored. Findings categorize the precursor heating into three stages: rapid heating, solid-liquid transition, and stable foaming. During solid-liquid transition, the expansion rate experiences a sudden drop, associated with pore nucleation and edge cracking of precursors. Pores nucleate as elongated crack-like structures along the rolling direction, guided by the Mg-enriched regions. In stable foaming, these pores evolve, become spherical, and the matrix rapidly expands. Using square tubes for sealing on the preform cavity sides creates a dense edge zone during rolling, halting crack propagation into the powder core. Adopting edge sealing during foaming mitigates boundary effects, thereby improving AFS panel flatness.

    Abstract Introduction: Elevated serum magnesium is common and associated with survival in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients by observational studies. However, the results of these studies were underpowered and inconclusive. This work was designed to explore the predictive value of serum magnesium on the mortality of patients with MHD.
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed mortality rates in 267 patients with MHD. The collected parameters included anthropometrics and laboratory parameters. Serum magnesium included baseline serum magnesium (BS-Mg) and average serum magnesium (AS-Mg). Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn, and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were applied to identify the predictive value of serum magnesium on patient mortality.
    Results: During the 64-month follow-up period, 121 (45.3%) all-cause and 75 (28.1%) cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths were recorded. The predictability of death of AS-Mg yielded results similar to those of serum albumin, secondary only to age, and superior to those of the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP), BS-Mg, by ROC curves. There were significant differences in all-cause and CVD mortality between the four groups (by quartile). Kaplan-Meier survival analyses revealed that the lowest 25th percentile had the poorest prognosis for both all-cause mortality (p < 0.001) and CVD mortality (p = 0.011). Finally, multivariate Cox proportional hazards models showed that increased age, increased Hs-CRP, decreased serum albumin, and AS-Mg were independent predictors of all-cause and CVD mortality. The hazard ratios of AS-Mg (per 0.01 mmol/L) were 0.925 (95% confidence interval, 0.884-0.968, p = 0.001) for all-cause mortality and 0.976 (95% confidence interval, 0.954-0.999, p = 0.040) for CVD mortality.
    Conclusion: AS-Mg was a good indicator for assessing all-cause and CVD mortality in patients with MHD in China. Higher serum magnesium had a survival advantage. Further studies with larger sample sizes should be needed to clarify the best reference value for maximizing the beneficial effects of magnesium.

    Abstract Understanding the mechanisms underlying perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) translocation, distribution, and accumulation in wheat-soil ecosystems is essential for agricultural soil pollution control and crop ecological risk assessment. This study systematically investigated the translocation of 13 PFAAs under different iron and nitrogen fertilization conditions in a wheat-soil ecosystem. Short-chain PFAAs including PFBA, PFPeA, PFHxA, and PFBS mostly accumulated in soil solution (10.43-55.33%) and soluble extracellular polymeric substances (S-EPS) (11.39-14.77%) by the adsorption to amino- (-NH
