Abstract
The intensive aquaculture model has resulted in a heightened prevalence of diseases among farmed animals. It is imperative to identify healthy and efficacious alternatives to antibiotics for the sustainable progression of aquaculture. In this investigation, a strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus AC was introduced into the cultural water at varying concentrations (105 CFU/mL, 106 CFU/mL, 107 CFU/mL) to nourish zebrafish (Danio rerio). The findings revealed that L. acidophilus AC effectively increased the growth performance of zebrafish, improved the ion exchange capacity of gills, and enhanced hepatic antioxidant and immune-enzyme activities. Furthermore, L. acidophilus AC notably enhanced the intestinal structure and augmented the activity of digestive enzymes within the intestinal tract. Analysis of intestinal flora revealed that L. acidophilus AC exerted a significant impact on the intestinal flora community, manifested by a reduction in the relative abundance of Burkholderiales, Candidatus_Saccharibacteria_bacterium, and Sutterellaceae, coupled with an increase in the relative abundance of Cetobacterium. Metabolomics analysis demonstrated that L. acidophilus AC significantly affected intestinal metabolism of zebrafish. PG (i-19:0/PGE2) and 12-Hydroxy-13-O-D-glucuronoside-octadec-9Z-enoate were the metabolites with the most significant up- and down-regulation folds, respectively. Finally, L. acidophilus AC increased the resistance of zebrafish to Aeromonas hydrophila. In conclusion, L. acidophilus AC was effective in enhancing the health and immunity of zebrafish. Thus, our findings suggested that L. acidophilus AC had potential applications and offered a reference for its use in aquaculture.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has played a pivotal role in maintaining the health of people, and the intrinsic quality of TCM is directly related to the clinical efficacy. The medicinal ingredients of TCM are derived from the secondary metabolites of plant metabolism and are also the result of the coordination of various physiological activities in plants. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are among the most ubiquitous plant mutualists that enhance the growth and yield of plants by facilitating the uptake of nutrients and water. Symbiosis of AMF with higher plants promotes growth and helps in the accumulation of secondary metabolites. However, there is still no systematic analysis and summation of their roles in the application of TCM, biosynthesis and accumulation of active substances of herbs, as well as the mechanisms. AMF directly or indirectly affect the accumulation of secondary metabolites of TCM, which is the focus of this review. First, in this review, the effects of AMF symbiosis on the content of different secondary metabolites in TCM, such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, alkaloids and terpenoids, are summarized. Moreover, the mechanism of AMF regulating the synthesis of secondary metabolites was also considered, in combination with the establishment of mycorrhizal symbionts, response mechanisms of plant hormones, nutritional elements and expression of key enzyme their activities. Finally, combined with the current application prospects for AMF in TCM, future in-depth research is planned, thus providing a reference for improving the quality of TCM. In this manuscript, we review the research status of AMF in promoting the accumulation of secondary metabolites in TCM to provide new ideas and methods for improving the quality of TCM.

Abstract
Lung diseases such as lung cancer and COVID-19 seriously endanger human health and life safety, so early screening and diagnosis are particularly important. computed tomography (CT) technology is one of the important ways to screen lung diseases, among which lung parenchyma segmentation based on CT images is the key step in screening lung diseases, and high-quality lung parenchyma segmentation can effectively improve the level of early diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases. Automatic, fast and accurate segmentation of lung parenchyma based on CT images can effectively compensate for the shortcomings of low efficiency and strong subjectivity of manual segmentation, and has become one of the research hotspots in this field. In this paper, the research progress in lung parenchyma segmentation is reviewed based on the related literatures published at domestic and abroad in recent years. The traditional machine learning methods and deep learning methods are compared and analyzed, and the research progress of improving the network structure of deep learning model is emphatically introduced. Some unsolved problems in lung parenchyma segmentation were discussed, and the development prospect was prospected, providing reference for researchers in related fields.

Abstract
Repurposing existing drugs for cancer treatment is an effective strategy. An approved antipsychotic drug, trifluoperazine (TFP), has been reported to have potential anticancer effects against several cancer types. Here, we investigated the effect and molecular mechanism of TFP in colorectal cancer (CRC). In vitro studies showed that TFP induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest to dramatically inhibit CRC cell proliferation through downregulating cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 2, CDK4, cyclin D1, and cyclin E and upregulating p27. TFP also induced apoptosis, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, and increased reactive oxygen species levels in CRC cells, indicating that TFP induced mitochondria-mediated intrinsic apoptosis. Importantly, TFP significantly suppressed tumor growth in two CRC subcutaneous tumor models without side effects. Interestingly, TFP treatment increased the expression levels of programmed death-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) in CRC cells and programmed death-1 (PD-1) in tumor-infiltrating CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, implying that the combination of TFP with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, such as an anti-PD-L1 or anti-PD-1 antibody, might have synergistic anticancer effects. Taken together, our study signifies that TFP is a novel treatment strategy for CRC and indicates the potential for using the combination treatment of TFP and immune checkpoint blockade to increase antitumor efficiency.

Abstract
Women with aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are at high risk of brain metastasis, which has no effective therapeutic option partially due to the poor penetration of drugs across the blood-brain barrier. Trifluoperazine (TFP) is an approved antipsychotic drug with good bioavailability in brain and had shown anticancer effect in several types of cancer. It drives us to investigate its activities to suppress TNBC, especially the brain metastasis. In this study, we chose three TNBC cell lines MDA-MB-468, MDA-MB-231, and 4T1 to assess its anticancer activities along with the possible mechanisms. In vitro, it induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest via decreasing the expression of both cyclinD1/CDK4 and cyclinE/CDK2, and stimulated mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. In vivo, TFP suppressed the growth of subcutaneous xenograft tumor and brain metastasis without causing detectable side effects. Importantly, it prolonged the survival of mice bearing brain metastasis. Immunohistochemical analysis of Ki67 and cleaved caspase-3 indicated TFP could suppress the growth and induce apoptosis of cancer cells in vivo. Taken together, TFP might be a potential available drug for treating TNBC with brain metastasis, which urgently needs novel treatment options.

Abstract
The autonomous parvovirus H-1 exerts tumor-suppressive effects in living organisms and has been shown to specifically interfere with the survival of transformed cells in culture. The mechanism(s) by which H-1 virus induces death of transformed cells is not yet well understood. It has recently been reported that H-1 virus induces apoptotic cell death in the human monocytic U937 cell line, as assessed by biochemical and morphological changes of infected cells (Rayet, B., Lopez-Guerrero, J.-A., Rommelaere, J., Dinsart, C., 1998. Induction of programmed cell death by parvovirus H-1 in U937 cells: connection with the TNFalpha signalling pathway. J. Virol. 72, 8893-8903). Here we show that parvovirus H-1 infection induced early biochemical changes pointing to apoptotic events also in the transformed human keratinocyte cell line, HeLa, and the transformed rat fibroblast cell line, P1. Morphologic changes, however, and in particular the early breakdown of plasma membrane integrity, suggested that apoptosis did not go to completion, leading to necrotic cell death as the major result of parvovirus infection of HeLa and P1 cells. Parvovirus infection of these, and to a significantly lesser extent of U937 cells, was accompanied by rapid depletion of intracellular NAD stores. Inhibition of NAD-consuming enzymes interfered with parvovirus-induced NAD depletion and increased the proportion of H-1 virus-infected cells displaying apoptotic features of cell death. In contrast, a similar prevention of NAD depletion through stimulation of NAD production had little influence on the cell death pathway, suggesting that NAD-consuming enzymes may promote necrosis in a direct way rather than through inducing the overall drop of intracellular NAD.

Abstract
The Owen cytoplasm of male-sterile sugar beet is associated with several alterations of mitochondrial DNA and one additional HindIII site of chloroplast DNA. The region of this HindIII site has been cloned and sequenced. The site maps in a small reading frame (orf32) close to the ycf7 (orf31) gene in the petG-psbE region of chloroplast DNA. Possible functional implications of the results are discussed. The chloroplast RFLP marker described could be useful for studies on chloroplast-mitochondrial interactions, CMS of sugar beet, and the origin of the Owen cytoplasm.
