Summary: A new lethal disease called glass post-larval disease has emerged in shrimp hatcheries in China since late 2019. This disease affects 6 - 12-day-old post-larvae of Penaeus vannamei and causes over 90% mortality within 24 - 48 hours. The disease is caused by highly lethal Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains and is a serious threat to shrimp aquaculture.

Summary: This study found significant changes in the metabolic profiles of shrimp at different stages of infection, with diseased shrimp showing high levels of taurine and moribund shrimp showing high levels of hypoxanthine. There was also a strong negative correlation between taurine levels and the relative abundance of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio harveyi. Exogenous supplementation of taurine enhanced the survival of shrimp against V. parahaemolyticus infection.

Summary: This study demonstrates that feeding shrimp Novacg (TM) improves survival against VPAHPND infection, with significantly different survival estimates between challenge trials. There were no significant differences in pir toxin gene expression or V. parahaemolyticus abundance between the two diet treatments, but both toxin expression and V. parahaemolyticus abundance changed significantly throughout the disease course.

Summary: Homeostasis of intestinal microbiota is crucial to host health, and pathogen invasion leads to dynamic changes in gut microbes. Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an important pathogen of Pacific white shrimp, causing high mortality. The TJA114 strain lacks the pir gene but showed strong pathogenicity, altering bacterial composition in shrimp gut. Metabolites involved in various pathways were identified, providing new insights into vibriosis pathogenesis in shrimp.

Summary: This study evaluates the application of a biofloc system in protecting Pacific white shrimp from pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection. The results show that the biofloc system can significantly reduce the density and biofilm activity of V. parahaemolyticus, and improve the survival, growth, and immune response of the shrimp. This suggests that biofloc system could be an effective method to control vibriosis in shrimp culture.

Summary: The Pacific white shrimp is a highly economically important breeding species. This research focuses on a non-AHPND V. parahaemolyticus strain, TJA114, which was isolated from P. vannamei and showed strong pathogenicity towards the shrimp. By comparing mRNA sequencing data from the control and the V. parahaemolyticus-infected groups, researchers identified significant differences in gene expression and revealed key pathways and processes involved in the shrimp's response to non-AHPND V. parahaemolyticus infection. This study provides valuable insights into the early pathogenesis of the shrimp in response to this specific strain of V. parahaemolyticus.

Summary: In this study, the effects of single infection of Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei or co-infection with Vibrio parahaemolyticus on the hepatopancreas of Penaeus vannamei were investigated. High concentration of E. hepatopenaei infection led to tissue damage, hepatic tubule atrophy, and deformation, while in the co-infection group, deformation of hepatic tubules and cytoplasmic vacuolation were observed. Transcriptome analysis revealed significant differences in gene expression related to immune system processes in the co-infection group compared to the high concentration E. hepatopenaei infection group.

Summary: Text classification is a fundamental problem in natural language processing. Graph-based models, such as GNN-based and GCN-based models, have recently been applied to this task and achieved excellent performance by modeling context from a global perspective. However, existing graph-based models often construct a corpus-level graph structure, leading to high memory consumption and overlooking local contextual information. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel GNN-based model called TSW-GNN, which constructs a unique text-level graph for each text using two sliding windows. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate the improvement of TSW-GNN in classification accuracy compared to state-of-the-art models.

Summary: This paper presents a novel strategy for concrete curing using solar thermal energy storage based on phase change material (PCM), aiming to prevent frost damage to concrete at an early stage and promote rapid concrete strength growth in cold climates. The proposed method utilizes the latent heat of the thermal energy storage layer (TESL) containing PCM to continuously cure the concrete at a positive temperature, with a transparent insulation layer (TIL) to absorb thermal energy through solar radiation. The study also proposes a numerical method for designing the TESL under different climatic conditions, with an optimal thickness ranging from 0.87 cm to 4.86 cm. Experimental results demonstrate that the concrete specimens cured using this strategy achieve excellent temperature history and reach the design strength in just 60 hours. Economic evaluation results show that the proposed curing method is cost-effective and provides significant energy saving and emission reduction throughout the service cycle. This work provides an efficient and clean solution for rapid concrete construction in cold climates.

Summary: Drainage conditions and consolidation states can affect the deformation behavior of clayey soil under cyclic loading. The lateral deformation in soils under partially drained conditions is similar to those under undrained conditions with the increase of over consolidation ratio. Under undrained conditions, a large axial strain could accumulate with a small amount accumulation in excess pore water pressure, while under partially drained conditions, the resilient modulus of the soil decreases as the volumetric strain increases.

Summary: Recent evidence suggests that long-term exposure to PM2.5 is associated with depressive symptoms. However, little is known about the individual effects of PM2.5 components, especially in low-income and middle-income countries. Our study found that long-term exposure to major components of PM2.5 is significantly associated with worsening depressive symptoms in Chinese adults. Different components may have different levels of toxicity. Reducing PM2.5 emissions, particularly from major sources of organic matter and ammonium, may help reduce the burden of depressive symptoms in Chinese adults.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the clinical features, prognosis, and treatment of advanced-stage non-nasal type extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL). The results showed that non-nasal type ENKTCLs had higher Ki-67 expression levels compared to nasal type disease. The non-nasal group showed slightly inferior survival outcomes compared to the nasal group, but without statistically significant differences. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score >= 2 and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) elevation were significantly correlated with worse overall survival in the non-nasal group.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the value of high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) and shear wave elastography (SWE) in distinguishing different subtypes of systemic sclerosis (SSc), and to verify the influence of clinical features on both methods. The results showed that SWE was less affected by clinical features and had a greater ability to discriminate between different levels of skin stiffness compared to HFUS. Therefore, SWE has the potential to become a primary imaging assessment tool.
