regulates drought and salt tolerance in rice.

Unlabelled: The NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2 and CUC2) transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in rice abiotic stress tolerance. has been reported to regulate zinc deficiency and cadmium tolerance. However, the roles of in rice drought and salt tolerance are largely unknown.

Buprenorphine prescribing practices for older adults in 2019 and 2020.

Background: Opioid use disorder (OUD) prevalence has increased threefold among Medicare beneficiaries 65 years and older (hereafter "older adults") since 2013, with a prevalence of 15.7 per 1000 Medicare beneficiaries in 2018. Yet, access to treatment that addresses the needs of older adults with OUD is limited, including patterns of buprenorphine prescribing to older adults.

Ferroptosis is involved in the damage of ocular lens under long-term PM exposure in rat models and humans.

Epidemiological studies show a positive association between air pollution and age-related cataracts, but the pathogenic mechanism remains unclear. This study first demonstrates that fine particulate matter (PM) induces ferroptosis in the lens, leading to morphological and functional disorders, through human, animal, and cellular samples. In 3-week PM-exposed rat models (10 µl 1 mg/ml PM suspension per eye, 4 times a day), we find that many vacuoles form in the lens equatorial region by analysis of haematoxylin and eosin staining after PM exposure.

Treatment of chronic osteomyelitis with gradient release of DGEA and vancomycin hydrogel-microsphere system and its mechanism.

In recent years, the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis mediated by biodegradable polymer platforms has received increasing attention. This paper reports an advanced drug delivery system, vancomycin (VA) and DGEA loaded microspheres embedded in injectable thermosensitive polypeptide hydrogels (i.e.

Topological Fermiology of gate-tunable Rashba electron gases.

By introducing first-order quantum phases as topological invariants, recent symmetry analysis-based theories have reinvigorated magnetic quantum oscillations as a versatile quantum probe for unfolding the Fermi surface topology along with the geometry information, i.e., topo-Fermiology.
