The Root Hair Development of Pectin Polygalacturonase PGX2 Activation Tagging Line in Response to Phosphate Deficiency.

Pectin, cellulose, and hemicellulose constitute the primary cell wall in eudicots and function in multiple developmental processes in plants. Root hairs are outgrowths of specialized epidermal cells that absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Cell wall architecture influences root hair development, but how cell wall remodeling might enable enhanced root hair formation in response to phosphate (P) deficiency remains relatively unclear.

Overexpression of a pectin methylesterase gene PtoPME35 from Populus tomentosa influences stomatal function and drought tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Poplar is a superior forestation species with high adaptability. The woody tissue of poplar is mainly derived from cell wall. Cell wall formation determines cell shape and woody growth.

Incidence and risk factors associated with postpartum depression among women of advanced maternal age from Guangzhou, China.

Purpose: To investigate whether advanced maternal age (AMA) increases the risk of postpartum depression (PPD) at 6 weeks after birth and to explore the risk factors.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of postpartum depression (PPD) and its associated factors among women without siblings from south China.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 468 mothers from single-child families who were assessed at 6 weeks after childbirth at a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou, China, from June 2015 to July 2016. The Chinese version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and a self-designed questionnaire regarding risk factors were administered to all participants.

[Application of precision medicine in the field of surgery].

[Pelvic floor muscle strength screening and analysis of its related factors among migrant women in the Pearl River Delta].

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and related factors of abnormal pelvic floor muscle strength and provide theoretical evidence for the prevention and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction.

Methods: A total of 1008 migrant women in hospitals of Guangzhou and Foshan were screened for pelvic floor strength at 42 days postpartum from Oct, 2013 to July, 2014. EMG biofeedback equipment was employed to assess the strength of type I and II muscle fiber and a questionnaire was designed to record its related factors.

[Postoperative rehabilitation strategy for acetabular fracture: application of 3D printing technique].

Objective: To explore the value of 3D printing technique in the surgical management and strategy of rehabilitation therapy of acetabular fracture.

Methods: For a patient with acetabular fracture, the pelvis model was printed preoperatively by 3D printing technique for surgical simulation to determine the optimal position of the screw, measure the screw length, and design the route of screw entry. Laparoscopic assisted internal fixation was performed, and a gradual and systematic rehabilitation plan was carried out after the surgery based on the results of simulation.
