Correlation of the Changes of Gray Matter Volume with Aβ Deposition and Learning and Memory Abilities in APP/PS1 Mice at Different Periods by Yuhao ZHANG, Hao JIN, Xiufeng ZHANG, Shengxiang LIANG, Weilin LIU, Jing TAO, Lidian CHEN

“…The brain paraffin sections of two groups of mice of different months were separated and prepared, and the Aβ deposition in bilateral entorhinal cortex and hippocampus of the two groups was detected by Thioflavine-s fluorescence staining, and the correlation between the changes of gray matter volume and memory learning ability and Aβ deposition in the corresponding brain area of the two groups was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.Results:①The results of Morris water maze test: compared with the WT group, there was no significant difference in the behavioral results of the 2-month-old mice in the APP/PS1 group, and the difference was not statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05); the escape latency of mice of the APP/PS1 group at the 6 and 12 month-old increased significantly, the number of crossing platforms of the APP/PS1 group at the 6 and 12 month-old decreased significantly, and the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).②The results of MRI T2WI scan: compared with the WT group, there was no significant change in the gray matter volume of the APP/PS1 group at 2-month-old, and the difference was not statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05); the volume of the entorhinal cortex of the APP/PS1 group at 6-month-old decreased significantly, and the volume of the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus of the APP/PS1 group at 12-month-old mice decreased significantly, the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).③The results of Th-s fluorescence staining test: Aβ deposition was not detected in WT group and APP/PS1 group at 2-month-old; compared with the WT group, a small amount of Aβ deposition could be detected in the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus of the APP/PS1 group at 6-month-old, while a large number of dense Aβ plaques can be detected in the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus of the APP/PS1 group at 12-month-old.④Correlation analysis results: APP/PS1 group mice's entorhinal cortex and hippocampus volume changes were significantly negatively correlated with escape latency (<italic>r</italic>=-0.729, <italic>P</italic>&lt;0.001; <italic>r</italic>=-0.643, <italic>P</italic>&lt;0.001); the volume changes of the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus in the APP/PS1 group showed a positive correlation with the number of crossing platforms (<italic>r</italic>=0.705, <italic>P</italic>&lt;0.001; <italic>r</italic>=0.719, <italic>P</italic>&lt;0.001); the volume changes of the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus in the APP/PS1 group were significantly negatively correlated with Aβ deposition (<italic>r</italic>=-0.865, <italic>P</italic>&lt;0.001; <italic>r</italic>=-0.885, <italic>P</italic>&lt;0.001).Conclusion:APP/PS1 transgenic mice may have learning and memory dysfunction at 6-month-old, and it gradually worsen with time; the learning and memory dysfunction may be related to the atrophy of the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus in the brain of mice, and excessive Aβ deposition may be the one of the factors that cause the brain gray matter volume to shrink.…”

The role of OCO-3 XCO₂ retrievals in estimating global terrestrial net ecosystem exchanges by X. Wang, F. Jiang, F. Jiang, F. Jiang, H. Wang, Z. Zhang, M. Wu, J. Wang, W. He, W. Ju, W. Ju, J. M. Chen, J. M. Chen

“…The reasons for the poor performance of assimilating OCO-3 XCO<span class="inline-formula">₂</span> alone include the lack of observations beyond 52° S and 52° N, the large fluctuations in the number of data, and the varied observation time. Our study indicates that assimilating OCO-3 XCO<span class="inline-formula">₂</span> retrievals alone leads to an underestimation of land sinks at high latitudes and that a joint assimilation of OCO-2 XCO<span class="inline-formula">₂</span> and the OCO-3 XCO<span class="inline-formula">₂</span> retrievals observed in the afternoon is required for a better estimation of global terrestrial NEE.…”

Combining Controlled-Release and Normal Urea Enhances Rice Grain Quality and Starch Properties by Improving Carbohydrate Supply and Grain Filling by Chang Liu, Tianyang Zhou, Zhangyi Xue, Chenhua Wei, Kuanyu Zhu, Miao Ye, Weiyang Zhang, Hao Zhang, Lijun Liu, Zhiqin Wang, Junfei Gu, Jianchang Yang

“…An increased sugar–spikelet ratio enhances the grain-filling process, resulting in an elevated average grain-filling rate (G_mean) and the peak grain-filling rate (G_max), while also reducing the overall time required for grain filling (D). Compared to CU, CRNF and CRNF-CU treatments did not significantly change milling qualities, but reduced the chalky kernel rate and chalkiness, thereby enhancing the appearance quality. …”
