Effects of various exercise interventions in adults with metabolic syndrome: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Abstract Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. This systematic review and network meta-analysis compared the effects of different exercise regimens on metabolic outcomes in adults with MetS. Methods Ra...

2-picolinic acid, an active component of wood vinegar, suppresses tomato fusarium wilt via direct antifungal activity and modulation of soil chemical and microbial properties

As a multifunctional soil conditioner, wood vinegar has shown potential in controlling soil-borne diseases, yet its active components and mechanism of action remain unclear. In this study, taking tomato Fusarium wilt ( Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici ) as the research objec...

Assessing ecosystem service values responses to livelihood transitions in an Arid Mountain–Oasis–Desert system

Balancing ecological conservation and rural livelihoods represents a critical challenge in arid social-ecological systems. Livelihood transitions among agropastoral households strongly influence the area allocated to different land-use types, thereby shaping regional ecosystem se...

Human posture recognition model integrating YOLOv8 pose and graph multilayer perceptron

In complex and real scenes, human posture recognition is often affected by factors such as large scale changes, diverse posture forms, and frequent local occlusions, which in turn leads to insufficient key point prediction stability and structural consistency. Focusing on the goa...

Dietary supplementation with Gastrodia elata powder affected the gut microbiota and serum biochemical parameters in broilers

Abstract After Gastrodia elata was established as a source of both food and medicine, large-scale cultivation and extensive production and processing have led to an increase in substandard products. In order to explore the high utilization value of these unqualified products and...

Nanoconfinement Engineering Enables Pt Nanocrystals in MOF-on-MOF Derived Nanoporous Carbon Microspheres for Hydrogen Evolution

Abstract Developing Pt-based catalysts with maximized atomic utilization and optimized electronic structures remains crucial for accelerating the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we develop a MOF-on-MOF-derived confinement strategy to construct a defect-mediate...
