    Abstract Background and aim: Traditional Chinese medicine Yinchenhao Tang (YCHT) demonstrated benefits when treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but the dose effects and potential targets are still ambiguous. In this study, different concentrations of YCHT were employed to treat NAFLD and the underlying therapeutic targets were investigated. Experimental procedure: Kunming mice were fed with high fat diet (HFD) for 8 weeks to induce NAFLD, then treated with 3 different concentrations of YCHT. Hepatic pathological changes and serum lipid levels were examined. Network pharmacology was applied to screen the potential targets of YCHT for NAFLD modulation. NR1H4 and APOA1 expression was evaluated by QPCR and western blotting. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was conducted to visualize the localization pattern of NR1H4 and APOA1 in the liver. Results: YCHT significantly reduced liver lipid storage and improved the liver pathological status of NAFLD mice. The serum lipid levels, as well as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, were remarkably reduced by the middle and high dose YCHT. There are 35 potential targets for YCHT to regulate NAFLD. HFD suppressed both RNA and protein expression of NR1H4 and APOA1, while YCHT elevated NR1H4 and APOA1 expression. IHC staining indicated that NR1H4 was mainly located in the cell nucleus and the APOA1 signal was observed at the liver sinusoid or cytoplasm. Conclusion: YCHT can effectively ameliorate HFD induced NAFLD by modulating the promising targets of NR1H4 and APOA1.

    Abstract Summary: Adult neurogenesis leads to the generation of functional neurons from neural stem cells, whereas impairment of adult hippocampal neurogenesis contributes to the pathophysiology of cognitive symptoms in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Here, we present a protocol for a direct hippocampal injection of lentivirus-delivered gene in adult rodents to study the specific molecular mechanism underlying adult neurogenesis, including lentivirus packaging and stereotaxic injection, EdU and BrdU injections, tissue immunostaining and imaging analysis, and cognitive testing.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Li et al. (2023).1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.

    Abstract Health poverty alleviation is an effective tool for improving the living quality and developmental conditions of impoverished populations. Since 1978, China has been actively implementing health poverty alleviation projects, resulting in a more robust rural healthcare service network and increased convenience for the local population to access medical treatment. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that China still faces a complex situation with the simultaneous existence of multiple disease threats and the interweaving of various health influencing factors. Ongoing risks of emerging infectious diseases persist, and some previously controlled or eliminated infectious diseases are at risk of resurgence. The incidence of chronic diseases is on the rise and exhibits a trend toward affecting younger populations. Therefore, examining the successful experiences of China's health poverty alleviation over the past 40 years becomes a critically important issue. The study focuses on China's health poverty alleviation policies, employing historical institutionalism as a theoretical perspective to analyze the historical changes and evolutionary logic of health poverty alleviation policies. A historical institutionalist analytical framework for health poverty alleviation policies is constructed. The research findings reveal that China's health poverty alleviation policy has undergone three distinct periods since 1978: the initial phase (1978–2000), the exploratory phase (2000–2012), and the stable development phase (2013–present). At the macro level, the political, economic, and social contexts of different periods have influenced the evolution of health poverty alleviation policies. On the meso level, coordination effects and adaptive expectations have had an impact on China's health poverty alleviation policy. At the micro level, various actors, including the central government, local governments at different levels, social forces, and impoverished communities, interact during the evolution of health poverty alleviation ...

    Abstract Early-stage seedling grafting has become a popular tool in molecular genetics to study root-shoot relationships within plants. Grafting early-stage seedlings of the small model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, is technically challenging and time consuming due to the size and fragility of its seedlings. A growing collection of published methods describe this technique with varying success rates, difficulty, and associated costs. This paper describes a simple procedure to make an in-house reusable grafting device using silicone elastomer mix, and how to use this device for seedling grafting. At the time of this publication, each reusable grafting device costs only $0.47 in consumable materials to produce. Using this method, beginners can have their first successfully grafted seedlings in less than 3 weeks from start to finish. This highly accessible procedure will allow plant molecular genetics labs to establish seedling grafting as a normal part of their experimental process. Due to the full control users have in the creation and design of these grafting devices, this technique could be easily adjusted for use in larger plants, such as tomato or tobacco, if desired.

    Abstract For vehicle positioning applications in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), lane-level or even more precise localization is desired in some typical urban scenarios. With the rapid development of wireless positioning technologies, ultrawide bandwidth (UWB) has stood out and become a prominent approach for high-precision positioning. However, in traffic scenarios, the UWB-based positioning method may deteriorate because of not-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation, multipath effect and other external interference. To overcome these problems, in this paper, a fusion strategy utilizing UWB and onboard sensors is developed to achieve reliable and precise vehicle positioning. It is a two-step approach, which includes the preprocessing of UWB raw measurements and the global estimation of vehicle position. Firstly, an ARIMA-GARCH model to address the NLOS problem of UWB at vehicular traffic scenarios is developed, and then the NLOS of UWB can be detected and corrected efficiently. Further, an adaptive IMM algorithm is developed to realize global fusion. Compared with traditional IMM, the proposed AIMM is capable of adjusting the model probabilities to make them better matching for current driving conditions, then positioning accuracy can be improved. Finally, the method is validated through experiments. Field test results verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed strategy.

    Abstract Objectives: To observe the effects of the local stimulation with 3 acupuncture techniques, i.e.
    Methods: A total of 108 patients with CSP were randomly divided into a manual acupuncture (MA) group (36 cases, one case dropped off), a WN group (36 cases, 3 cases dropped off) and an EA group (36 cases, 1 case dropped off). In the three groups, Jianqian (EX-UE12), Jianyu (LI15), Jianzhen (SI9), Ashi (Extra) and Yanglingquan (GB34) on the affected side were selected.
    Results: Compared with the scores before treatment, the scores of pain, joint function, and range of motion as well as the total score of Neer test were all increased after treatment in the three groups (
    Conclusions: In the treatment of CSP, the short-term effect is equivalent among EA, WN and MA. But, the analgesic effect is the best in the EA group, the treatment for anti-inflammation is the most effective in the MA and WN groups, and the needling technique of

    Abstract Denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation (DAMO) can mitigate methane emissions; however, this process has not been studied in cattle manure, an important source of methane emissions in animal agriculture. The objective of this study was to investigate the occurrence of DAMO microbes in cattle manure and examine the impacts of veterinary antibiotics on the DAMO process in cattle manure. Results show that DAMO archaea and bacteria consistently occur at high concentrations in beef cattle manure. During the long-term operation of a sequencing batch reactor seeded with beef cattle manure, the DAMO activities intensified, and DAMO microbial biomass increased. Exposure to chlortetracycline at initial concentrations up to 5000 μg L
