- * He was diagnosed with clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis, leading to an increase in corticosteroids and additional immunosuppressive medications; however, his lung condition worsened.
- * Further testing revealed autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (APAP), suggesting that he had both NSIP and APAP, with APAP potentially worsening due to the immunosuppressive therapy.
Background: Microorganisms that activate plant immune responses are useful for application as biocontrol agents in agriculture to minimize crop losses. The present study was conducted to identify and characterize plant immunity-activating microorganisms in Brassicaceae plants.
Results: A total of 25 bacterial strains were isolated from the interior of a Brassicaceae plant, Raphanus sativus var.
Guard cells are indispensable for higher plants because they control gas exchange and water balance to maintain photosynthetic activity. The signaling processes that govern their movement are controlled by several factors, such as abscisic acid (ABA), blue light, pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), and carbon dioxide. Herein, we demonstrated that the amino acid glutamate (Glu), a well-known mammalian neurotransmitter, functions as a novel signaling molecule in stomatal closure in both Arabidopsis and fava bean (Vicia faba L.

Article Synopsis
- An 89-year-old man with difficult-to-manage diabetes was found to have primary squamous cell carcinoma of the duodenum after investigation in the hospital.
- Following two rounds of chemotherapy, tests showed that the tumor had disappeared, with no signs of recurrence after 19 months.
- The case indicates that chemotherapy, particularly with TS-1, could be a promising treatment option for patients with unresectable duodenal squamous cell carcinoma.
