Regulatory Effect of Pyroptosis Related Genes Expression in Adipose Tissue of Aging Rats by Long-Time Weight-Bearing Running by GONG Lijing, TANG Shuning, YANG Luyao, SU Hao, NI Zhen, FU Pengyu

“…After the intervention, the body weight, body composition, perirenal and subcutaneous adipose tissue (p/sWAT) wet weight and blood lipids were measured; the morphology of adipocytes were observed by HE staining, and the cross-sectional area (CSA) of adipocyte was calculated; the relative expression level of ASC, NF-κB, IL-1β, GSDMD, NLRP3 and Caspase1 mRNA were tested by RT-PCR; the immunopositive expression of ASC, IL-1β, GSDMD, NLRP3 and Caspase1 were observed by Immunofluorescence, and the integral optical density (IOD) value was calculated.Results(1) After the intervention, the body weight of rats in the control group was higher than that in the baseline group, and the body weight of rats in the resistance training group was lower than that in the control group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); the body fat percentage of the resistance training group was lower than those in the control and baseline groups (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), respectively; the muscle content percentage of rats in the control group was lower than that in the baseline group, and the muscle content percentage of rats in the resistance training group was higher than that in the control group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (2) After 32 weeks of intervention, the plasma levels of TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C and FFA of rats in the control group were higher than those in the baseline group, and the levels of TG and FFA of rats in the resistance training group were lower than those in the control group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (3) After 32 weeks of intervention, the wet weight percentages of pWAT and sWAT of rats in the control group were higher than those in the baseline group; the wet weight percentage of pWAT of rats in the resistance training group was lower than those in both the control and baseline groups, and the wet weight percentage of sWAT of rats was lower than that in the control group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); the CSA of adipocyte of sWAT and pWAT of rats in the resistance training group was smaller than those in the control and baseline groups (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), respectively.

Rice Leaf Disease Image Enhancement Based on Improved CycleGAN by YAN Congkuan, ZHU Dequan, MENG Fankai, YANG Yuqing, TANG Qixing, ZHANG Aifang, LIAO Juan

“…To address these challenges, a data augmentation method for rice leaf disease images was proposed based on an improved CycleGAN model in this reseach which aimed to expand disease image datasets by generating disease features, thereby alleviating the burden of collecting real disease data and providing more comprehensive and diverse data to support automatic rice disease recognition.MethodsThe proposed approach built upon the CycleGAN framework, with a key modification being the integration of a convolutional block attention module (CBAM) into the generator's residual module. …”
