Research progress on mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes in cardiovascular diseases

With population aging and lifestyle changes, cardiovascular diseases, as one of the leading causes of death and disability, continue to show a rising incidence rate. Despite ongoing advancements in existing pharmacological treatments, interventional procedures, and surgical proce...

On the generalized McKean–Vlasov stochastic differential equations driven by time-changed Brownian motion

In this paper, we investigate a class of generalized time-changed McKean–Vlasov stochastic differential equations with two drift terms, one driven by the random change Et and the other driven by nonrandom time t. Firstly, we consider the existence and uniqueness of the solution t...

Middle Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous Depositional Facies Evolution and a Fan-Delta–Beach-Bar Model Based on a Case Study from the Anjihai Section in the Southern Junggar Basin

Lake-margin successions preserve interactions between terrestrial sediment supply and lacustrine deposition. We examined the Toutunhe–Qingshuihe succession at the Anjihai section in the western sector of the southern Junggar Basin using outcrop logs, lithofacies descriptions, sed...

Multidimensional Echocardiographic Parameters Predict Left Ventricular Functional Recovery After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

AIM: This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of preoperative and early postoperative echocardiographic parameters for left ventricular function recovery after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and to evaluate the relationship between functional recovery and 1-y...

Discovery of diamide derivatives bearing a flexible substituted benzylamine moiety as potential ryanodine receptor activator

Abstract BACKGROUND Lepidopteran pests have developed severe resistance to diamide insecticides, posing a huge challenge to effective pest control, necessitating the development of novel insecticides to achieve the effective comprehensive management of pests. Forty‐two novel deri...

Study on the Density Enhancement of a Solids-Free, Potassium-Based Phosphate Kill Fluid by Cesium Formate and Its Molecular Dynamics Mechanism

Abstract In the development of high-temperature and high-pressure oil and gas reservoirs, high-density, solid-free, well-killing fluids are essential for well control operations. Traditional weighting agents suffer from insufficient density and high corrosivity. Potassium-based p...

Acute Heat Stress Disrupts Hepatic Homeostasis and Gut Microbiota in Early-Juvenile Asian Swamp Eels (Monopterus albus)

Water temperature is a critical environmental determinant of aquatic organism survival. The Asian swamp eel (Monopterus albus), a major aquaculture species, is highly vulnerable to acute summer heat stress at the early-juvenile stage. Juveniles exposed to 32 °C for 96 h (versus 2...

Hydrogen Blending in Natural Gas: Technologies and Challenges

Abstract In this paper, a comprehensive review of the technologies and challenges associated with hydrogen-blended natural gas (HBNG) systems is provided. The background, hydrogen production pathways, blending technologies, and implementation strategies of HBNG were systematicall...

Genome-Wide Characterization of the Common Buckwheat B-Box Gene Family and Identification of FeBBX11 and FeBBX27 Involved in Flavonoid Biosynthesis

Flavonoids, a class of secondary metabolites in higher plants, exert a broad range of health-promoting effects by enhancing antioxidant activity. B-box (BBX) transcription factors are reportedly involved in the regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis. However, the roles and function...

DGDE-CSFNet: Difference-Guided Dual-Branch Encoding and Cross-Scale Fusion for Maritime Scene Segmentation

Semantic segmentation of maritime imagery is challenging due to the coexistence of large homogeneous regions, such as sea and land, and small, sparsely distributed ship targets, particularly in complex port environments. Further, strong background dominance and intricate boundary...

Integrative bioinformatics analysis of Lianmei granules in diabetic nephropathy

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a severe complication of diabetes mellitus, leading to end-stage renal disease and significant morbidity. Current therapies are limited by efficacy and side effects, highlighting the need for novel treatments. Lianmei granules (LMG) show potential for...

AM / SA / AMPS / NVP Crosslinked Copolymer Gel for Lost Circulation Control at 140°C in High‐Salinity Fractured Formations

ABSTRACT Conventional polymer gels may suffer from thermal degradation and salt‐induced changes under severe downhole conditions. In this study, an AM/SA/AMPS/NVP crosslinked copolymer gel was synthesized by aqueous free‐radical polymerization using MBA as the crosslinker. The fo...

A Compositional and Genetic Framework for Shale Lithofacies Classification and Reservoir Quality Prediction: Insights From the Wufeng‐Longmaxi Formation, South Sichuan

ABSTRACT Although shales are of fundamental importance in geological research and energy exploration, no consensus has been reached on a unified classification and nomenclature that adequately reflect their multiscale heterogeneity and genetic origins. To address this gap, we pro...

New occurrence of Alternaria cinerariae on Farfugium japonicum in China

Farfugium japonicum is an important ornamental landscape plant cultivated across East Asia (Gu et al. 2021). In July 2025, severe leaf spot was observed on F. japonicum in Chongqing municipality, China (29°22′56.49″N, 106°27′48.48″E, 199 m alt.), with a disease incidence of 85.4%...

Astronomical forcing and coal accumulation model of the Middle Jurassic Xishanyao Formation in the Turpan–Hami Basin, Northwestern China

The Xishanyao Formation in the Taibei Depression of the Turpan–Hami Basin consists predominantly of coal-bearing fluvial and lacustrine deposits characterized by frequent interbedding and systematic vertical facies transitions. These strata exhibit repetitive stacking patterns an...

Association of a nurse-coordinated lifestyle management clinic with 1-year changes in liver enzymes and fibrosis-4 index in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: a propensity score-matched cohort study

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a common chronic liver disease for which lifestyle modification remains a central component of management. However, real-world evidence regarding structured nurse-coordinated lifestyle management in outpatient MA...

Development of a cross-protective subunit cocktail vaccine against diverse serotypes of Glaesserella parasuis infection in pigs

Abstract Glässer’s disease, caused by Glaesserella parasuis (GPS), causes substantial economic losses in the swine industry worldwide. This situation is largely attributable to the poor cross-protective efficacy of currently available vaccines. In this study, a multi-antigen cock...

Transient soil nitrogen transformation but persistent root morphological impairment associated with reduced apparent post-anthesis nitrogen accumulation and grain yield in winter wheat under anthesis waterlogging conditions

Context Waterlogging during anthesis limits winter wheat production in the Yangtze River Basin of China. Although waterlogging is known to alter soil nitrogen cycling and crop productivity, the temporal relationship between recovery of soil nitrogen availability and recovery of p...
