    Abstract Inflammatory processes are often accompanied by oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, which might lead to cellular and organ damage. Carnosic acid (CA), an active component found in rosemary, exhibits pharmacological properties including antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral effects. The aim of this research was to investigate whether CA can mitigate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in poultry and to understand its underlying mechanisms. We administered CA to broiler chickens via oral gavage and treated them with LPS, followed by analysis of the effects of different dosages of CA on body weight, antioxidative capacity, and inflammatory factors. Carnosic acid had no significant impact on the body weight of broiler chickens. However, serum analysis indicated that the middle dose of CA effectively enhanced the antioxidative capacity and reduced levels of oxidative stress and inflammation-related factors. Moreover, in the liver, CA demonstrated the ability to regulate the expression of proteins such as heat shock protein 60 (HSP60), heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), and P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (P38), suggesting its protective role against liver damage induced by LPS. In the intestinal tract of broiler chickens, CA regulated the expression and localization of proteins including HSP60, HSP70, NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2 (Nrf2), and P38, while also influencing the expression of inflammatory markers such as protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type C (CD45), and connexin (Cx). These findings revealed the potential protective mechanisms of CA in alleviating oxidative stress and inflammatory damage induced by LPS in poultry. Carnosic acid notably enhanced the chickens' antioxidative capacity by modulating the expression of key proteins, thereby reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory response levels. This study provides a deeper comprehension of the protective mechanisms of CA and its potential impact on avian health.

    Abstract Farmers' participation in food safety governance is an important part of food safety social co-governance, and the accurate identification of its influencing factors and their related paths is of guiding significance to the scientific decision-making of food safety governance. The system of influencing factors of farmers' participation in food safety governance was constructed from four dimensions, and the influence network of each dimension was revealed by decision laboratory analysis (DEMATEL). The hierarchical structure and correlation path of influencing factors were determined by interpretive structural model (ISM), and the attributes of influencing factors were further classified by cross influence matrix multiplication (MICMAC). The results show that the influencing factors of farmers' participation in food safety governance can be divided into seven levels, among which the level of education and the status of village cadres are the fundamental characteristic factors. The degree of rural informatization, the intensity of government supervision, the promotion of village committees, the response of the government and the degree of disclosure of government information are the deep core factors, and risk cognition, political trust and family eating habits are special factors. Taking the importance and attribute status of farmers' participation in food safety governance into decision-making considerations is of great significance to improve the efficiency of food safety governance.

    Abstract The sustainable development of mycorrhizal industry is the key to solve the problem of "mycorrhizal forestry contradiction". As a major province of edible mushroom production and forestry resources in China, Fujian Province is also an important origin of mycorrhizal technology research and development, so it is more typical and practical to establish an index system to evaluate the sustainability of mycorrhizal industry development in Fujian Province. Through research interviews and data collection, a sustainable capacity evaluation system of mycorrhizal industry was established with 21 indicators in six dimensions: economic, ecological, social, cultural, political, and technological. A combination of CRITIC empowerment method and cloud model was used to evaluate the sustainability of mycorrhizal industry development in Fujian Province. The results show that although the economic sustainability of the mycorrhizal industry in Fujian Province is average, the overall development trend is good and there are not too many problems. The sustainability of ecological, social and technological levels all have large differences in the development of indicators and the overall development status is average, but overall, the ecological, social and technological levels show a steady forward development from 2017 to 2020. The cultural and political dimensions of sustainability not only have large differences in the development of indicators and an average overall development status, but also have a small development span from 2017 to 2020 and a slow overall development.

    Abstract DAX1 is well known for its fundamental role in several types of cancer, while its biological role in cervical cancer remains largely unexplored. The expression of DAX1 in cervical carcinoma tissue was examined using immunohistochemistry and western blot. The effects of DAX1 silencing on the cell growth, tumor formation, and CSC (cancer stem cell) characteristics were also investigated. DAX1 expressed a gradual increase from normal cervix to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, and consequently to cervical cancer. Silence of DAX1 significantly inhibited the cell growth, tumorigenicity, and tumorsphere formation. Furthermore, the TOP/FOP-Flash reporter assay revealed that Wnt/β-catenin pathway was significantly inactivated in DAX1-silenced cervical cancer cells with the downregulation of Wnt/β-catenin targeting genes, including cyclinD1 and c-myc. Moreover, dual-luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay confirmed that DAX1 transcriptionally repressed glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), an inhibitor of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, by physically interacting with -666~-444 motif on the GSK3β promoter. Additionally, the blockage of GSK3β by CHIR-99021 resulted in a significant increase of CSC characteristics induced by the silence of DAX1. Our data demonstrated that DAX1 is overexpressed in cervical cancer, and that it promotes cell growth and tumorigenicity through activating Wnt/β-catenin pathway mediated by GSK3β.

    Abstract Background: Maternal sepsis is a major cause of gestational morbidity and neonatal mortality worldwide and particularly in China.
    Aim: To evaluate the etiology of maternal sepsis and further identify its risk factors.
    Methods: In this retrospective study, we evaluated 70698 obstetric patients who were admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between January 1, 2009 and June 30, 2018. Subjects were divided into sepsis group and non-sepsis group based on the incidence of sepsis. Data about medical history (surgical and obstetric history) and demographic information were collected. The Mann-Whitney
    Results: A total of 561 of 70698 obstetric patients were diagnosed with infection; of the infected patients, 492 had non-sepsis associated infection (87.7%), while 69 had sepsis (12.3%). The morbidity rate of maternal sepsis was 9.76/10000; the fatality rate in the sepsis group was 11.6% (8/69). Emergency admission (OR = 2.183) or transfer (OR = 2.870), irregular prenatal care (OR = 2.953), labor induction (OR = 4.665), cervical cerclage (OR = 14.214), first trimester (OR = 6.806) and second trimester (OR = 2.09) were significant risk factors for maternal sepsis.
    Conclusion: Mode of admission, poor prenatal care, labor induction, cervical cerclage, first trimester and second trimester pregnancy were risk factors for maternal sepsis.

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD), known to be a leading cause of dementia that causes heavy social and financial burdens worldwide, is characterized by progressive loss of neurons and synaptic connectivity after depositions of amyloid-β (Aβ) protein. Current therapies for AD patients can only alleviate symptoms but cannot deter the neural degeneration, thus providing no long-term recovery. Neural stem cells (NSCs), capable of self-renewal and of differentiation into functional neurons and glia, have been shown to repair damaged networks and reverse memory and learning deficits in animal studies, providing new hope for curing AD patients by cell transplantation. Under AD pathology, the microenvironment also undergoes great alterations that affect the propagation of NSCs and subsequent therapeutic efficiency, calling for measures to improve the hostile environment for cell transplantation. This article reviews the therapeutic potential of both endogenous and exogenous NSCs in the treatment of AD and the challenges to application of stem cells in AD treatment, particularly those from the microenvironmental alterations, in the hope of providing more information for future research in exploiting stem cell-based therapies for AD. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Abstract Introduction: Although the feasibility of reimplantation has increased greatly with the development of new surgical techniques, long-term functional prognosis is unpredictable. Combined vascular and skeletal injuries are associated with a high limb loss rate. One of the major factors resulting in amputation is frequently because the allowable warm ischemia time for skeletal muscle is exceeded before adequate revascularization. Rapid temporary vascular shunting and perfusion of injured extremities with infusion rubber tubing is essential to limit loss of life and maximize limb preservation.
    Methodology and Material: 38 cases of vascular injury in limbs (20 cases of brachial artery, 12 cases of axillary artery, 6 cases of femoral artery) received active treatment. They were received infusion tube shunt in recovery of blood supply of limbs on the basis of thorough debridement, and then skeleton reconstruction. Repair of tendon, nerve and other soft tissue and end to end vascular anastomosis were performed.
    Results: There is no death occurred in 38 cases, 38 cases of vascular injury in limbs were repaired successfully (100%); the function of 29 cases in limbs was good (80%).
    Conclusions: Time is the emphasis for the major vessels injury in limbs during pre hospital, in hospital and surgical emergency. For major vessels injury in limbs of patients, timely treatment is the premise to save life, reconstruction limb blood circulation as soon as possible is the key to save the limbs and recover the function, equal to dealing with the compound wound and complications can improve the curative effect.

    Abstract Individual variations have been reported in the existing methods for examining peripheral entrapment neuropathy, by which limited sites can be examined. In this study, the patients with unilateral carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS) and radial nerve compression (RNC) were selected as research subjects and an ultrasound technique was proposed based on multilevel side-to-side image contrast for the diagnosis of unilateral peripheral entrapment neuropathy. According to the statistical analysis of 62 patients with CTS, CuTS or RNC, the diagnostic thresholds of the cross-sectional area swelling ratio (CSASR) for diagnosis of CTS, CuTS or RNC were 1.22, 1.51 and 1.50, respectively. The surgical therapeutic thresholds of CSASR for the treatment of CTS, CuTS and RNC were 1.48, 1.67 and 3.04, respectively. When the maximal CSASR of the diseased nerve was greater than or equal to the diagnostic threshold, the nerve compression could be diagnosed. If it was less than the diagnostic threshold, nerve compression was excluded. Conservative treatment was indicated when the maximal CSASR of the diseased nerve was less than the therapeutic threshold. When the maximal CSASR was greater than or equal to the therapeutic threshold, surgical treatment was indicated, and the nerve release procedure was selected. The novel multilevel side-to-side image contrast ultrasound technique proposed in this study can substantially reduce the impact of individual variation and explore the full course of the diseased nerve. It is a novel approach for diagnosis, treatment selection, and determination of treatment sites of unilateral peripheral entrapment neuropathy.
