Seed color patterns in domesticated common bean are regulated by MYB-bHLH-WD40 transcription factors and temperature.

Seed colors and color patterns are critical for the survival of wild plants and the consumer appeal of crops. In common bean, a major global staple, these patterns are also essential in determining market classes, yet the genetic and environmental control of many pigmentation patterns remains unresolved. In this study, we genetically mapped variation for several important seed pattern loci, including T, Bip, p, and Z, which co-segregated with candidate genes PvTTG1, PvMYC1, PvTT8, and PvTT2, respectively.

Genome-Wide Association Study to Identify Possible Candidate Genes of Snap Bean Leaf and Pod Color.

Color can be an indicator of plant health, quality, and productivity, and is useful to researchers to understand plant nutritional content in their studies. Color may be related to chlorophyll content and photosynthetic activity and provides information for those studying diseases and mineral nutrition because every nutrient deficiency and many diseases produce symptoms that affect color. In order to identify significant loci related to both leaf and pod color in a snap bean ( L.

The effect of remifentanil and dexmedetomidine on dynamic thiol/disulfide balance in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery: a prospective case-control study.

Objective: It is established that the balance of serum thiols is disrupted in favor of oxidants in coronary artery disease, and the cardiopulmonary bypass pump used during coronary artery bypass surgery disrupts this balance in favor of oxidants. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant effects of remifentanil or dexmedetomidine on thiol-disulfide balance and paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) levels during on-pump coronary artery bypass surgery.

Patients And Methods: A total of 100 patients who underwent on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery between May 2018 and December 2018 were included in the study.

Effects of different analgesic methods used for vaginal delivery on mothers and fetuses.

Materials And Methods: This study was designed as an observational case-control study.

Body Surface Area Is Not a Reliable Predictor of Tracheal Tube Size in Children.

Objectives: The age-based Cole formula has been employed for the estimation of endotracheal tube (ETT) size due to its ease of use, but may not appropriately consider growth rates among children. Child growth is assessed by calculating the body surface area (BSA). The association between the outer diameter of an appropriate uncuffed-endotrachealtube (ETT-OD) and the BSA values of patients at 24-96 months of age was our primary outcome.

Evaluation of the stability and stratification of propofol and ketamine mixtures for pediatric anesthesia.

Background: The combination of propofol and ketamine is commonly used for total intravenous anesthesia. These drugs can be delivered in different syringes or in the same syringe. We hypothesized that the drugs might separate and different concentrations of each drug could be found in different parts of the syringe during the procedure period when they were mixed in 1 syringe.

The effects of sevoflurane anesthesia and cardiopulmonary bypass on renal function in cyanotic and acyanotic children undergoing cardiac surgery.

Background: There are few data on the effects of anesthesia and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on perioperative renal function in children with cyanotic congenital heart disease undergoing open heart surgery. This study aims to investigate the perioperative renal function in cyanotic versus acyanotic children undergoing sevoflurane anesthesia for open heart surgery.

Methods: After receiving ethical committee approval, 12 acyanotic patients (preoperative oxygen saturation: SaO(2) > 85%) and 12 cyanotic children (SaO(2) < 85%) were included.

[Entrapment of a Swan-Ganz catheter within the right pulmonary artery ligature during right pneumonectomy].

Entrapment of a pulmonary artery catheter in the pulmonary artery is a rare and severe complication that may lead to fatal complications such as pulmonary artery injury. We describe entrapment of a Swan-Ganz catheter within the right pulmonary artery ligature in a patient undergoing right pneumonectomy. This situation resulted with removal of catheter safely without any complication.

The effects of isoflurane, sevoflurane, and desflurane anesthesia on neurocognitive outcome after cardiac surgery: a pilot study.

Background: Inhalation anesthetics such as isoflurane, sevoflurane, and desflurane are widely used in clinical practice; however, there is no study for comparing these drugs in cardiac surgery with respect to postoperative cognitive outcome and S100 beta protein (S100 BP) levels. In this study, we evaluated the effect of sevoflurane, isoflurane, and desflurane anesthesia on neuropsychological outcome and S100 BP levels in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Materials And Methods: Forty-two male patients were prospectively randomized and classified into 3 groups according to the volatile agents used; isoflurane, sevoflurane, desflurane.

The effect of halothane, isoflurane, sevoflurane and propofol infusion on renal function after coronary artery bypass surgery.

Renal insufficiency after cardiac surgery is associated with increased mortality, morbidity, and length of stay in the intensive care unit. We investigated the effect of isoflurane, halothane, sevoflurane and propofol anesthesia on perioperative renal function following elective coronary artery surgery. The medical records of 224 patients, in the Hacettepe University Medical Faculty Hospital who had undergone cardiac surgery in one year, were retrospectively reviewed.
