Salt Tolerance in : Elucidating Growth and Physiological Adaptations to Saline Environments.

Adversity stress is the main environmental factor limiting plant growth and development, including salt and other stress factors. This study delves into the adaptability and salt tolerance mechanisms of , a species with potential for cultivation in salinized areas. We subjected the plants to various salt concentrations to observe their growth responses and to assess key physiological and biochemical indicators.

miR-96-5p regulates cervical cancer cell resistance to cisplatin by inhibiting lncRNA TRIM52-AS1 and promoting IGF2BP2.

MicroRNA (miRNA) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) are both regulators of cancer progression. This study sought to discuss the functional mechanism of miR-96-5p/lncRNA TRIM52 antisense RNA 1 (head-to-head; TRIM52-AS1) in cervical cancer (CC) cell resistance to cisplatin (DDP). DDP-resistant CC cell line was established using increasing concentrations of DDP, followed by transfection with miR-96-5p inhibitor, or si-TRIM52-AS1, or insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) overexpression vector.

Enhancing the Therapeutic Efficacy of KRAS Inhibitors in Lung Adenocarcinoma Cell Models by Cotargeting the MAPK Pathway or HSP90.

Background: KRAS inhibitors have shown promising efficacy in early clinical trials, but drug resistance compromises their long-term benefits. Therefore, it is critical to understand the mechanisms of drug resistance and to design appropriate combinatory treatments to improve efficacy.

Methods: To understand the comprehensive mechanisms of drug resistance, we treated lung cancer cells with KRAS inhibitors for different periods and performed transcriptional profiling and signaling analysis to identify critical factors and pathways that drive drug tolerance and resistance.

Exposure to One Antibiotic Leads to Acquisition of Resistance to Another Antibiotic Quorum Sensing Mechanisms.

The vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) have progressively become a severe medical problem. Although clinics have started to reduce vancomycin prescription, vancomycin resistance has not been contained. We found that the transfer of vancomycin resistance in increased more than 30-fold upon treatment by streptomycin.

A 12-Week Multi-Modal Exercise Program: Feasibility of Combined Exercise and Simplified 8-Style Tai Chi Following Lung Cancer Surgery.

Objective: To assess the feasibility, safety, and preliminary effect of a 12-week multi-modal rehabilitation program targeted at improving health-related quality of life and physical activity levels of patients with lung cancer following treatment.

Methods: Patients with stage I to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer were included 6 to 12 weeks following completion of treatment. The intervention comprised of aerobic exercise (brisk walking), resistance training and 8-style Tai Chi.

Extracorporeal Life Support Enhances the Forward Pressure Wave to Cause a Mismatch between Cardiac Oxygen Demand and Supply.

Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a world-famous life-saving method. Until now, changes in arterial wave properties due to ECLS have remained unexamined. In this study, we determined the effects of ECLS on arterial wave properties and ventricular/arterial coupling in male Wistar rats with the measured aortic pressure alone.

Distribution Characteristics of Spermophilus dauricus in Manchuria City in China in 2015 through '3S' Technology.

Plague is a virulent infectious disease in China. In this study, '3S' technology was used to perform spatial autocorrelation analysis and spatial interpolation analysis for Spermophilus dauricus (S. Dauricus, a species of ground squirrel) captured in Manchuria City in 2015.

Discrimination of cinnamon bark and cinnamon twig samples sourced from various countries using HPLC-based fingerprint analysis.

A simple and efficient HPLC method was developed to evaluate the quality of traditional herbal medicines made from cinnamon bark (CB) and cinnamon twig (CT). Seven major bioactive ingredients in 56 samples (24 CB and 32 CT) collected from China, Vietnam, and Indonesia were separated and quantified. The method was validated following the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines.

Great saphenous vein thrombosis causing acute pulmonary embolism suggested by combined CT venography and pulmonary angiography.

Pulmonary embolism is a life-threatening condition, which is most commonly related to deep vein thrombosis. Varicose vein thrombosis, a very common disease, is seldom reported as being related to pulmonary embolism. We present combined computed tomography venography and pulmonary angiography findings suggesting that thrombosed varicosities of a great saphenous vein caused acute pulmonary embolism in a 30-year-old male.

[Clinical analysis of therapeutic effects of sphincter-preserving operation and Miles operation for rectal cancer].

Objective: To investigate and compare therapeutic effects of sphincter-preserving operation and Miles operation for rectal cancer.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out in 572 cases of rectal cancer operations performed from January 1980 to December 2006.

Results: Sphincter-preserving operation was carried out in 403 cases and Miles procedure in 169 cases.

[Clinical study of 231 cases of radical excision with sphincter preservation by casing anastomosis in low rectal cancer].

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy, feasibility and safety of sphincter-preserving procedure by casing anastomosis of colon and rectal mucosa in low rectal cancer.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out in 231 cases of low rectal cancer performed casing anastomosis.

Results: One hundred and ninety-seven (197/231, 85.

[Willingness to pay for ecosystem services of urban river in Shanghai].

The contingent valuation method (CVM) is one of the most dominating and standard techniques for eliciting the willingness to pay (WTP) for the ecosystem services provided by environment and resources. Taking Zhangjiabang Creek, a model project in the comprehensive management of urban river in China, as a case study, 800 payment card CVM questionnaires were surveyed and 646 as useful questionnaires were feed back in August 2003, then, the mean WTP, 195.07 - 253.

Pericardial devascularization combined with preservation of Latarjet's nerves trunk in treatment of patients with portal hypertension.

Objective: To investigate the effect of pericardial devascularization combined with preservation of Latarjet's innervation on portal hypertension.

Methods: Sixty-two patients (57 men and 5 women) have been undergone pericardial devascularization combined with Latarjet's innervation since 1984. Clinical results and postoperative complications were evaluated.

[Long-term results of extended parietal cell vagotomy in treatment of duodenal ulcers and their complications: report of 321 cases].

Objective: To study the long-term results of extended parietal cell vagotomy (EPCV) in the treatment of patients with duodenal ulcer and their complications.

Methods: Form 1979 to 2001, EPCV was performed in 321 patients with duodenal ulcer and their complications. Of these patients 56 had chronic duodenal ulcer, 204 perforation, 16 hemorrhage and 40 stenosis.
