Fatty acid β‐oxidation and mitochondrial fusion are involved in cardiac microvascular endothelial cell protection induced by glucagon receptor antagonism in diabetic mice 脂肪酸β‐氧化和线粒体融合参与胰高血糖素受体拮抗剂对糖尿病小鼠心脏微血管内皮细胞的保护作用

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 15, Issue 12, Page 1081-1094, December 2023., 2023
Highlights Glucagon receptor (GCGR) monoclonal antibody (mAb) improves cardiac function and attenuates microvascular damage in db/db mice. GCGR mAb ameliorates the oxidative stress of cardiac microvascular endothelial cells in diabetic mice. GCGR mAb counteracts the diabetes‐induced upregulation of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B, optic atrophy type ...

Protective effects of nattokinase against microvasculopathy and neuroinflammation in diabetic retinopathy 纳豆激酶对糖尿病视网膜病变微血管病变和神经炎症的保护作用

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 15, Issue 10, Page 866-880, October 2023., 2023
Highlights Nattokinase rescued endothelial dysfunction and pericyte loss in the diabetic retina. Nattokinase attenuated diabetes‐induced retinal inflammation and neurodegeneration. High mobility group box 1 signaling was involved in nattokinase‐mediated retinal protection.

Red‐list status and extinction risk of the world's whales, dolphins, and porpoises

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023
Abstract To understand the scope and scale of the loss of biodiversity, tools are required that can be applied in a standardized manner to all species globally, spanning realms from land to the open ocean. We used data from the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List to provide a synthesis of the conservation status and extinction ...

Use of carrion fly iDNA metabarcoding to monitor invasive and native mammals

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Severely fragmented habitats increase the risk of extirpation of native mammal populations through isolation, increased edge effects, and predation. Therefore, monitoring the movement of mammal populations through anthropogenically altered landscapes can inform conservation. We used metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) from carrion

A review to the methods of personality measurements in wild animals 野生动物个性测量方法的综述

Wildlife Letters, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 131-142, September 2023., 2023
One of the challenges in animal personality study is finding a suitable method to measure personality. Here, we outlined three methods (traits rating, behavioral coding, and experimentation) used in animal personality measurement. We found that traits rating was commonly used to test large‐sized animals (e.g., primates), behavioral coding was conducted

Increased glutamate in type 2 diabetes in the Korean population is associated with increased plasminogen levels 韩国2型糖尿病患者谷氨酸升高与纤溶酶原水平升高有关

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 15, Issue 9, Page 777-786, September 2023., 2023
Highlights Increased glutamate is associated with the development of diabetes. Glutamate increases plasminogen (PLG) levels through glutamate metabotropic receptor 5 activation with various insulin resistance‐related stresses. Glutamate inhibits the conversion of PLG to plasmin by increasing plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1.

At a fine scale, hardwood patches support wildlife diversity in longleaf pine woodlands 小尺度阔叶林斑块支持长叶松林地的野生动物多样性

Wildlife Letters, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 71-78, June 2023., 2023
Oaks are often removed as part of longleaf pine restoration; however, it is unclear if oak patches produce important resources for native wildlife. We studied wildlife use of the transition between longleaf pine woodlands and hardwood hammocks. We found these areas support a variety of wildlife species and future management and restoration of longleaf ...

Hybrid Probiotic Hydrogel With Curcumin‐Loaded MnO2 Nanoparticles Enhances Diabetic Wound Healing Through Multimodal Microenvironmental Regulation

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Skin wound injuries are often accompanied by bacterial infections and severe inflammation. Especially, M1‐type macrophages at the wound site can trigger a cascade of inflammatory responses, mediating a vicious cycle of inflammation. Meanwhile, hypoxia further exacerbates vascular damage and constriction in the wound microenvironment, thereby ...

Engineering a Tumor‐Targeted MgH2@Lip/PD‐L1 Nanoplatform for Synergistic Hydrogen Therapy and Immune Activation

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer‐related deaths worldwide, yet immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is often compromised by an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) with acidosis, hypoxia, and poor T cell infiltration. Here, we develop a TME‐responsive nanoplatform (MgH2@Lip/PD‐L1) that couples hydrogen gas therapy with PD ...

ABCA12 Frameshift Deletion in Domestic Cats With Ichthyosis Fetalis

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ichthyosis fetalis (IF), also known as harlequin ichthyosis, is a rare and often fatal autosomal recessive congenital skin disorder. It is characterized by thickened, hard skin plaques and deep skin fissures that limit mobility and cause malformations of the eyes, lips and ears.
