Pandemic predisposing influence for feline lower urinary disorders by Carolina C. L. Paulino, André Meneses, André Meneses, André Meneses, Pedro Almeida, Pedro Almeida, Pedro Almeida, Paulo Dinis, Joana Tavares de Oliveira, Joana Tavares de Oliveira

“…Lower urinary tract signs (LUTS) in cats encompass a range of clinical symptoms, that may have been altered by the unique circumstances of confinement and increased human interaction during the lockdowns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The stress of confinement could exacerbate underlying behavioral issues, while increased caregiver presence might influence the expression of LUTS, potentially leading to either improved monitoring and early detection or increased stress-related symptoms. …”

Cold hardiness evaluation and physiological mechanism elucidation in apricot-plum hybrid (Prunus salicina × P. armeniaca) germplasm by WANG Aning, QI Anguo, WANG Mengyao, ZHU Gaopu, LI Taishan, LI Fangdong, YANG Shaobin, HU Haifang, BAI Danfeng

“…In Weiwang and XL9, antioxidant enzymes (SOD and POD) and osmolytes (SS and Pro) displayed coordinated regulation, peaking at intermediate temperatures (-20 ℃ to -25 ℃) before declining, suggesting adaptive stress mitigation. Conversely, sensitive genotypes exhibited progressive oxidative damage, evidenced by linearly increasing O2-·, H2O2, and MDA levels (up to 195.4% increase in H2O2 at -30 ℃), coupled with declining SS (44.2% reduction) and Pro contents, which indicated the oxidative damage they suffered increased gradually and the cell osmotic balance was disrupted. …”

Low-Fat Diet Alleviates Perimenopausal Symptoms by Reducing Methylation Levels of PDE4C and NPAS2 Genes: A Randomized Controlled Trial by Xiaoling Zhong, Ke Liu, Laigang Zhao, Xue Lei, Mei Xu, Lin Yang

“…Results: Both the low-fat diet and hormone supplementation improved specific perimenopausal symptoms, reduced specific lipid levels, and had a positive effect on oxidative stress markers. The low-fat diet proved more effective than hormone replacement in improving the serum lipid profile and also resulted in reductions in methylation at specific sites of the PDE4C and NPAS2 genes. …”

A model for the analysis of stomatal dynamics - applied to critical simulations of experiments on oscillatory transpiration in oat plants by Torgny Brogårdh, Anders Johnsson

“…Hydro-active feedback was used between the turgor pressure of the mesophyll cells, acting as sensor cells, and the osmotic contents of the subsidiary- and guard cells. In the model, a reduction of the turgor of the sensor cells results in an increase of the osmotic content of the subsidiary cells and a reduction of the osmotic content of the guard cells. …”
