Article Synopsis
- Researchers found that imperatorin, a valuable anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory compound, can be extracted from the hairy roots of Urena lobata, but cryo-injury and cryoprotectant toxicity pose challenges for preserving root clones effectively.
- They identified key factors that reduce plasmolysis during cryopreservation and improved a droplet-vitrification technique that included specific concentrations of sucrose and glycerol to enhance root survival rates.
- The new cryopreservation method led to a 93.3% regeneration rate and comparable growth and imperatorin production to untreated roots after multiple subcultures, emphasizing the effectiveness of their plasmolysis evaluation approach for optimizing preservation techniques.
: Inappropriate antibiotic use among outpatients is recognized as the primary driver of antibiotic resistance. A proper understanding of appropriate antibiotic usage and associated factors helps to determine and limit inappropriateness. We aimed to identify the rate of appropriate use of antibiotics and identify factors associated with the inappropriate prescriptions.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAeroponics is considered as a potential method for the culture of herbal plants due to the high growth rate, quantity and quality enhancement of secondary metabolites, and substantial environmental progress associated with this method. The aim of this study was to develop a sufficient protocol for successful hairy root induction by ATCC 15834, using a precursor and elicitor to enhance α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (GIA) of aeroponic hairy roots (AHRs) in greenhouse conditions. In this study, we found that the optimized procedure (10 min, Woody plant medium (WPM), 1/25 salt strength) had an outstanding effect with a reduction in the rooting time (RT), promotion of the rooting rate (RR), and increase in the fresh weight (FW) and dry weight (DW) compared with the original procedure (30 min, Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, 1/25 salt strength) after 30 days of culture.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Prior studies have suggested an association between higher heart rate and higher mortality, particularly in chronic heart failure (HF). Whether this relationship holds true in patients hospitalized with HF and differs between patients in sinus rhythm (SR) and atrial fibrillation (AF) has not been well studied.
Methods: We examined 145,221 admissions for HF from 295 hospitals enrolled in Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure from January 2005 through September 2011.
With a prevalence of 5.8 million in the United States alone, heart failure (HF) is a common syndrome associated with substantial morbidity, mortality, and healthcare expenditures. Close to 1 million HF hospitalizations occur annually in the United States, with the majority of these resulting from worsening congestion in patients previously diagnosed with HF.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFHeart failure (HF) is a major public health issue, with a prevalence of over 5.8 million in the USA, and over 23 million worldwide, and rising. The lifetime risk of developing HF is one in five.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Persons with early kidney disease have an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality, but the importance of accelerated atherosclerosis in promoting these outcomes is unclear. We therefore explored whether serum cystatin C level is associated with carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in ambulatory adults without clinical heart disease.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
