Towards the Albino Mutant Gene in Borkh.

Albino mutation is among the most common phenomena that often causes a water imbalance and disturbs physiological functions in higher species of trees. Albinism frequently occurs in hybridized apples, but almost all seedlings die shortly after germination. In this study, a spontaneous albino mutant on Fuji apple trees was obtained.

Enzyme-free biosensor for ultrasensitive detection of mecA gene utilizing electrochemically controlled atom transfer radical polymerization triggered by copper nanoflowers enriched on DNA polymers.

Herein, an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor is constructed to detect mecA gene by utilizing electrochemically controlled atom transfer radical polymerization (eATRP) triggered by copper nanoflowers enriched on DNA polymers. Firstly, specific capture and enrichment of mecA gene is achieved by using magnetic separation system, effectively weakening the interference of the complex matrix. Next, enzyme-free hybridization chain reaction is triggered in the presence of mecA gene to form long DNA polymers containing numerous active sites for subsequent binding to streptavidin-copper hybrid nanoflowers (SA@Cu HNFs).

Molecular changes in intraocular fluid: implications for myopia.

Myopia is the most common eye disease in the world which is caused by a mismatch between the optical power of the eye and its excessive axial length. Scleral remodeling, oxidative stress, inflammation, pathological states of angiogenesis and fibrosis and metabolism are closely associated with the onset and progression of myopia and the pathological changes that may ultimately result. Intraocular fluid is a collective term for the fluid within the eye, and changes in its composition can reflect the physiological and pathological status within the eye, with aqueous humor and vitreous being the commonly tested specimens.

The recovery of decreased executive attention in Tibetan migrants at high-altitude.

Attention is one of the basic cognitive functions sensitive to high altitude, and most studies have focussed on exposure times of approximately 3 years; however, it is unclear how attention changes in migrants who have lived and worked at high altitude for nearly 20 years. We explored the dynamics of attentional networks and neurophysiological mechanisms in migrants over 3-20 years using the Attentional Network Test combined with Electrocardiograph and Electroencephalography and found a consistent quadratic correlation between exposure and executive control efficiency, P3 amplitude and heart rate variability (HRV), with a decrease followed by an increase/relative stability, with approximately 10 years being the breakpoint. However, neither linear nor quadratic trajectories were observed for the alerting and orienting network.

Diverse Head-to-Tail Sequences in the Circular Genome of Human Bocavirus Genotype 1 among Children with Acute Respiratory Infections Implied the Switch of Template Chain in the Rolling-Circle Replication Model.

Head-to-tail sequences have been reported in human bocavirus (HBoV) 1-4. To reveal their features and functions, HBoV DNA was screened among respiratory specimens from pediatric patients with an acute respiratory infection (ARI) between April 2020 and December 2022, followed by HBoV genotyping. Head-to-tail sequences were detected using nested PCR, TA cloning, and Sanger sequencing, and these findings were confirmed by mNGS and amplicon sequencing.

Transfer learning-enabled outcome prediction for guiding CRRT treatment of the pediatric patients with sepsis.

Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a life-saving procedure for sepsis but the benefit of CRRT varies and prediction of clinical outcomes is valuable in efficient treatment planning. This study aimed to use machine learning (ML) models trained using MIMIC III data for identifying sepsis patients who would benefit from CRRT. We first selected patients with sepsis and CRRT in the ICU setting and their gender, and an array of routine lab results were included as features to train machine learning models using 30-day mortality as the primary outcome.

Myristic Acid Solid Lipid Nanoparticles Enhance the Oral Bioavailability and Therapeutic Efficacy of Rifaximin against MRSA Pneumonia.

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) pneumonia is one of the leading causes of death and an immense financial burden on healthcare systems. Rifaximin (RFX) has good antibacterial activity against MRSA, but its clinical application is limited due to its poor oral absorption. Solid lipid nanoparticles have good biocompatibility, high drug loading, sustained release performance, and the inertia of lipids in gastric acid, which facilitates oral drug delivery.

COLEC10 inhibits the stemness of hepatocellular carcinoma by suppressing the activity of β-catenin signaling.

Background: Liver cancer stem cells (CSCs) contribute to tumor initiation, progression, and recurrence in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The Wnt/β-catenin pathway plays a crucial role in liver cancer stemness, progression, metastasis, and drug resistance, but no clinically approved drugs have targeted this pathway efficiently so far. We aimed to elucidate the role of COLEC10 in HCC stemness.
