Ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block in the management of postoperative analgesia in living liver donors: a randomized, prospective study.

Background: Living donor hepatectomy is a procedure associated with notable postoperative pain, impacting patient recovery and satisfaction. Addressing this challenge, we aimed to examine the effect of ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in postoperative analgesia management of patients undergoing living donor hepatectomy for liver transplantation.

Methods: A single-center prospective, randomized, controlled study was conducted on ASA I-II patients aged 18-65 who underwent elective living donor hepatectomy.

Grafting based DNA methylation alteration of snoRNAs in upland cotton ( L.).

The effects of grafting in response to various biotic and abiotic stressors have been studied, however, the methylation status of small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) genes in heterograft and homograft cotton needs investigation. This study was undertaken to determine grafting effects on DNA methylation of snoRNA genes in Upland cotton. Rootstocks used were Pima 3-79 ( acc.

A DNA Extraction Method for Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation of Cotton Seeds (Gossypium L.).

Kernels of cotton provide lint and linter for textiles, oil and protein for food and feed. Cotton seed is formed following fertilization between an ovule and a pollen grain. The seed coat is maternal in origin, whereas the embryo and attached cotyledonary leaves are hybrids of parental lines.

Tissue and/or developmental stage specific methylation of nrDNA in Capsicum annuum.

The nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) sequences are often used for phylogenetic analysis among organisms. Because DNA cytosine methylation and nucleolar dominancy are two common epigenetic mechanisms of nrDNA, we hypothesized that internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1), 5.8S rRNA and ITS2 of nrDNA sequences could be used as epigenetic biomarkers.

A single center survey study of systemic vasculitis and COVID-19 during the first months of pandemic.

Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic created concerns among patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy. Frequency of COVID-19 and impact of lockdown on treatment compliance in patients with vasculitis are largely unknown.

Patients And Method: Patients with ANCA-associated and large vessel vasculitis that have been followed-up in our clinic were contacted by phone and a questionnaire containing home isolation status, treatment adherence and history of COVID -19 between March 1st and June 30th, 2020 was applied.

Interspecific grafting between Gossypium hirsutum, G. barbadense and G. herbaceum lines.

Seedling grafting could provide additional crop improvement strategies for cotton. However, there existed limited studies on interspecific grafting and approaches. Four different grafting approaches were developed and compared between lines representing three of the four cultivated cotton species G.

Cross-genera transferable e-microsatellite markers for 12 genera of the Lamiaceae family.

Background: The Lamiaceae family contains many high-valued medicinal, aromatic and ornamental plant species. Several members of the genera in this family are under heavy pressure of collection for commercial use. DNA markers such as microsatellites could be used to identify commercially important genotypes and to select high-yielding ones for development of new varieties.

Genetic relationships within and between Capsicum species.

Genetic relationships were estimated among 24 accessions belonging to 11 species of Capsicum, using 2,760 RAPD markers based on touch-down polymerase chain reactions (Td-RAPD-PCR). These markers were implemented in analyses of principal coordinates, unweighted pair group mean average, and 2,000 bootstrap replications. The accessions were divided into four groups, corresponding to previously described Capsicum complexes: C.

Exact tandem repeats analyzer (E-TRA): a new program for DNA sequence mining.

Exact Tandem Repeats Analyzer 1.0 (E-TRA) combines sequence motif searches with keywords such as 'organs', 'tissues', 'cell lines' and 'development stages' for finding simple exact tandem repeats as well as non-simple repeats. E-TRA has several advanced repeat search parameters/options compared to other repeat finder programs as it not only accepts GenBank, FASTA and expressed sequence tags (EST) sequence files, but also does analysis of multiple files with multiple sequences.

A software program combining sequence motif searches with keywords for finding repeats containing DNA sequences.

Motivation: One of the most interesting features of genomes (both coding and non-coding regions) is the presence of relatively short tandemly repeated DNA sequences known as tandem repeats (TRs). We developed a new PC-based stand-alone software analysis program, combining sequence motif searches with keywords such as organs, tissues, cell lines or development stages for finding exact, inexact and compound, TRs. Tandem Repeats Analyzer 1.
