Lack of Proinflammatory Cytokine Interleukin-6 or Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor-1 Results in a Failure of the Innate Immune Response after Bacterial Meningitis by Lea-Jessica Albrecht, Simone C. Tauber, Julika Merres, Eugenia Kress, Matthias B. Stope, Sandra Jansen, Thomas Pufe, Lars-Ove Brandenburg

“…Our results revealed higher mortality rates and bacterial burden after infection in TNFR1−/−, IL-6−/−, and TNFR1-IL-6−/− mice and a decreased immune response including lower neutrophil infiltration in the meninges of TNFR1−/− and TNFR1-IL-6−/− mice in contrast to IL-6−/− and wild type mice. Furthermore, the increased mortality of TNFR1−/− and TNFR1-IL-6−/− mice correlated with decreased glial cell activation compared to IL-6−/− or wild type mice after pneumococcal meningitis. …”

Integrated multi-omics analysis reveals the underlying molecular mechanism for the neurotoxicity of triclosan in zebrafish by Shasha Zhao, Yuhang Ling, Baohua Zhang, Danting Wang, Limei Sun

“…However, few research has examined the toxicity of long-term TCS-induced exposure in zebrafish at ambient concentrations, in contrast to the early life stage investigations. In the present study, we investigated the behavioral effects of TCS at environmental concentrations (300 μg/L) during constant exposure in zebrafish adults；An integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis was performed to analyze the molecular mechanism underlying behavioral effects of TCS. …”

Investigation on the fracture toughness of a low-density δ-quenching and partitioning steel sheet by Z.L. Li, D.D. Cui, Y.S. Zhang, D. Chen, L. Gao, X.Q. Wang, X.W. Li

“…The tempering treatment at 350 °C promotes carbon partitioning from martensite to austenite and ferrite, enhancing microstructural uniformity and reducing stress concentration, which significantly improve the fracture toughness of the QP1180 sample. In contrast, higher annealing temperatures for the QP1280 sample bring about a lower fraction of austenite at the final microstructure and consequently a reduced microstructural uniformity, and there also exists a greater hardness difference between martensite/austenite islands and ferrite; therefore, a lower fracture toughness is obtained compared to the QP1180 sample. …”
