Nowadays, with the development of the internet and e-commerce, opening tea shops online has become an increasing choice for selling tea. However, the product page information of many online tea shops cannot effectively attract consumers, resulting in their profits being compromised. To investigate this, we conducted this paper and hope to provide effective suggestions. This paper is based on 229 questionnaires and selects the product page information of online tea shops as the research object. Using the four dimensions of perceived value theory as independent variables with consumer purchase intention as the dependent variable. A structural equation model was constructed to analyze the role of the perceived value of product page information in online tea shops how influencing consumers' purchase intentions. It was found that information on the perceived functional value of online tea shops did not have a significant positive effect on consumer purchase intentions. However, information on the perceived monetary value, perceived social value, and perceived emotional value of online tea shops had a significant positive impact on consumers' purchase intentions. Based on the above conclusions, online tea shops should focus on the expression of product page information to enhance the level of consumers' perceived value of tea products, thereby enhancing their intention to purchase tea products.

Background and Objectives: The search for a suitable alternative for urethral defect is a challenge in the field of urethral tissue engineering. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) possess multipotential for differentiation. The in vitro derivation of urothelial cells from mouse-iPSCs (miPSCs) has thus far not been reported. The purpose of this study was to establish an efficient and robust differentiation protocol for the differentiation of miPSCs into urothelial cells. Methods and Results: Our protocol made the visualization of differentiation processes of a 2-step approach possible. We firstly induced miPSCs into posterior definitive endoderm (DE) with glycogen synthase kinase-3𝛽 (GSK3𝛽) inhibitor and Activin A. We investigated the optimal conditions for DE differentiation with GSK3𝛽 inhibitor treatment by varying the treatment time and concentration. Differentiation into urothelial cells, was directed with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and recombinant mouse fibroblast growth factor-10 (FGF-10). Specific markers expressed at each stage of differentiation were validated by flow cytometry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay, immunofluorescence staining, and western blotting Assay. The miPSC-derived urothelial cells were successfully in expressed urothelial cell marker genes, proteins, and normal microscopic architecture. Conclusions: We built a model of directed differentiation of miPSCs into urothelial cells, which may provide the evidence for a regenerative potential of miPSCs in preclinical animal studies.

The unified equations to obtain the exact solutions of piezoelectric plane beam subjected to arbitrary loads

Zhang Lang,Gao Puyun,Li Dongxu,Wang Xue 대한기계학회 2011 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.25 No.7

The unified equations to obtain the exact solutions for piezoelectric plane beam subjected to arbitrary mechanical and electrical loads with various ends supported conditions is founded by solving functional equations. Comparing this general method with traditional trialand-error method, the most advantage is it can obtain the exact solutions directly and does not need to guess and modify the form of stress function or electric displacement function repeatedly. Firstly, the governing equation for piezoelectric plane beam is derived. The general solution for the governing equation is expressed by six unknown functions. Secondly, in terms of boundary conditions of the two longitudinal sides of the beam, six functional equations are yielded. These equations are simplified to derive the unified equations to solve the boundary value problems of piezoelectric plane beam. Finally, several examples show the correctness and generalization of this method.

Transcriptome explores changes in gene expression profile contributed by Camellia sinensis (L.) in Apis cerana cerana and Apis mellifera ligustica

Camellia sinensis (L.) is widely cultivated in China and other countries as an economically important tree and supplies unique nutrients to ensure the development of Apis cerana cerana and Apis mellifera ligustica colonies in early spring in southern China. A. c. cerana was domesticated in China many years ago and exhibits a smaller body size, smaller colony size and some distinct physiology and behavior compared to A. m. ligustica. Here, to explore the changes in gene expression induced by C. sinensis in A. c. cerana and A.m. ligustica, we performed transcriptomic analysis of the 1 st -instar, 5 th -instar, 1 st -adult and 7 th -adult stages of the two species fed the nectar and pollen of C. sinensis. A total of 489, 1190, 991 and 243 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the four developmental stages of A. m. ligustica, and 995, 2785, 1513 and 213 DEGs were found in the cor responding stages of A. c. cerana. The changes in the gene expression profile were more significant in the 5 th -instar and 1 st -adult. Furthermore, the upregulated genes in the 5 th -instar and 1 st -adult were mainly enriched in pathways involved in growth- and development-related pathway: Hippo signaling pathway. In addition to the upregulated DEGs, growth- and development-related pathways, including the Wnt signaling pathway, Hedgehog signaling pathway-fly, and FoxO signaling pathway, were enriched in A. c. cerana. Finally, we hypothesized that C. sinensis pollen is beneficial to the growth and development of honeybees and give rise to diverse corresponding regulation to A. c. cerana than to A. m. ligustica.

Quanxin Bi,Bin Guo,Dongxu Zhang,Wenbin Guan 한국유전학회 2015 Genes & Genomics Vol.37 No.3

Xanthoceras sorbifolium is an economicallyimportant woody plant in China. Plant microRNAs (miRNAs)play a vital role in plant development. We usedSolexa technology to sequence a small RNA library fromthe buds, young and mature leaves, flowers, and developingseeds (10, 30, and 60 days after pollination) of X. sorbifoliumto identify conserved and novel miRNAs. Sequenceanalysis identified 49 conserved miRNAs belonging to 19miRNA families, as well as four novel miRNAs. An analysisof 10 miRNA sequences by qRT-PCR showed that allsequences were expressed and that they were dynamicallyregulated in different tissues. Finally, seven targets of thenovel miRNAs were predicted. This study opens up a newavenue for understanding the roles of miRNAs in X. sorbifolium.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of non-obese MAFLD on the gut microbiota and metabolic pathways caused by high-temperature processed meals. It was decided to divide the eighteen male Sprague-Dawley rats into three groups: the control group, the dry-fried soybeans (DFS) group, and the high-fat diet (HFD) group. Following the passage of twelve weeks, a series of physical, biochemical, histological, and microbiological examinations were carried out. There were distinct pathological abnormalities brought about by each diet. The DFS diet was found to cause the development of fatty liver and to demonstrate strong relationships between components of the gut microbiota, such as Akkermansia and Mucispirillum, and indices of liver health. Diet-induced changes in the gut microbiome have a significant impact on liver pathology in non-obese patients with metabolically altered liver disease (MAFLD), which suggests that dietary interventions that target gut microbiota could be used to manage or prevent the illness.
