, encoding a rice strictosidine synthase, is required for anther cuticle formation and pollen exine patterning in rice.

The formation of the anther wall and the development of pollen processes, central to rice fertility and yield, are highly dependent on the synthesis and accumulation of lipid polymers. Although several regulatory factors related to lipid biosynthesis during pollen wall development have been identified, the molecular mechanisms controlling these processes remain poorly understood. In this study, a male-sterile rice mutant, , was identified, characterized by normal vegetative growth but complete male sterility due to delayed programmed cell death (PCD) in tapetal cells and defects in anther cuticle and pollen exine formation.

The correlation between interleukin-34 and bone erosion under ultrasound in rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory arthropathy characterized by excessive synovial hyperplasia and progressive joint destruction. Pro-inflammatory cytokines play major roles in the regulation of synovial inflammation. The contribution of interleukin-34 (IL-34) in RA pathogenesis has been strongly suggested in clinical studies.

[Comprehensive analysis on variation of cardiac enzyme and troponin induced by acute organophosphorous poisoning].

Objective: To discuss the diagnostic value of cardiac enzyme and troponin in acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP).

Methods: A retrospective study was performed in the document published in domestic journals and PubMed from 1979 to 2010. The data of the cardiac enzyme and troponin were collected.
