Current View on the Problem of Treatment for Cystic Echinococcosis of the Liver by V. S. Boyarinov, S. V. Novikov, M. L. Rogal, P. A. Yartsev

“…After surgical interventions for cystic echinococcosis of the liver, morphologic changes in liver tissues and signs of liver failure do not disappear, but progress; and this negatively affects the longterm treatment outcomes. Therefore, reduction of traumatic operations, prevention of hemorrhagic complications, maximum preservation of functioning liver parenchyma is one of the most important directions of echinococcosis surgery development.In this paper, we analyze the literature sources of PubMed, eLibrary, RINC databases, which are devoted to the comparison of the effectiveness of methods of surgical treatment for cystic echinococcosis of the liver, published for the last 5 years. …”

Inter-homolog crossing-over and synapsis in Arabidopsis meiosis are dependent on the chromosome axis protein AtASY3. by Maheen Ferdous, James D Higgins, Kim Osman, Christophe Lambing, Elisabeth Roitinger, Karl Mechtler, Susan J Armstrong, Ruth Perry, Mónica Pradillo, Nieves Cuñado, F Chris H Franklin

“…In this study we have analysed AtASY3, a coiled-coil domain protein that is required for normal meiosis in Arabidopsis. Analysis of an Atasy3-1 mutant reveals that loss of the protein compromises chromosome axis formation and results in reduced numbers of meiotic crossovers (COs). …”

Exploring Anharmonicity-induced high thermoelectric performance in α-In2X3 (X=S, Se) monolayers by Victor José Ramirez Rivera, Fredy Mamani Gonzalo, Maurício Jeomar Piotrowski, Efracio Mamani Flores

“…This ab initio study, based on density functional theory, investigates the thermoelectric properties of α-In2S3 and α-In2Se3 monolayers, through a detailed analysis of phonon modes, revealing that these materials exhibit low group velocities in acoustic (ZA, TA, LA) and optical modes, short phonon lifetimes, and high Grüneisen parameters, suggesting strong anharmonicity, especially at low frequencies. …”

Divergent impact of long-term anthropogenic nitrogen inputs on global particulate and mineral-associated organic carbon by Xinhao Peng, Wei Wei, Shuli Niu, Yuanyuan Huang, Liding Chen

“…Given the complexity of SOC, it remains unclear how its key components—particulate organic carbon (POC) and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC)—respond to nitrogen addition over time, due to their fundamental differences in formation, persistence, and functions. We conducted a meta-analysis of 105 global studies and 499 observational results to investigate the responses of soil organic carbon components to long-term nitrogen addition. …”

Exploration of cosmetic bioactive compounds from cocoa bean shell using polyol-based microwave-assisted extraction: Cytotoxicity, anti-tyrosinase, and anti-melanogenesis properties by Sasakorn Pattanakitjaroenchai, Puthita Pitsawong, Nuntawat Khat-Udomkiri

“…This study demonstrated that PG, at optimal conditions (60 % w/v, 1:50 solid-to-liquid ratio, 100 °C, 30-min extraction), significantly enhanced TPC (59.57 ± 1.33 mg GAE/g sample), TFC (242.24 ± 2.95 mg QE/g sample), and tyrosinase inhibition (4.75 ± 0.35 mg KAE/g sample) compared to EtOH. LC-QQQ analysis identified quercetin, catechin, and trigonelline as key contributors to tyrosinase inhibition and melanin content reduction, with PG extracts demonstrating superior functional activity despite similar quercetin levels in both solvents. …”
