This systematic review assessed the efficacy and safety of nonpharmacological therapies for treating CPSP.

TabZIP74 Acts as a Positive Regulator in Wheat Stripe Rust Resistance and Involves Root Development by mRNA Splicing.

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) membrane-bound transcription factors (MTFs) play important roles in regulating plant growth and development, abiotic stress responses, and disease resistance. Most bZIP MTFs are key components of signaling pathways in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress responses. In this study, a full-length cDNA sequence encoding bZIP MTF, designated , was isolated from a cDNA library of wheat near-isogenic lines of Taichung29*6/ inoculated with an incompatible race CYR32 of f.

Management of delayed encephalopathy after CO poisoning: An evidence-based narrative review.

Background: Approximately 10% to 30% patients develop delayed encephalopathy after acute CO poisoning (DEACMP). No specific treatment is available and poor prognosis is a characteristic of this disease. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of all therapies that have been tried in randomized controlled trial (RCT) for DEACMP.

Inhibition of BAG-1 induced SH-SY5Y cell apoptosis without affecting Hsp70 expression.

Objective: To further explore the role of BCL-2 associated anthanogen-1 (BAG-1) in neuronal apoptosis and whether the effect of BAG-1 depends on heat shock protein 70 (HSP70).

Wheat stripe (yellow) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis West. f. sp.

TaNAC1 acts as a negative regulator of stripe rust resistance in wheat, enhances susceptibility to Pseudomonas syringae, and promotes lateral root development in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana.

Plant-specific NAC transcription factors (TFs) constitute a large family and play important roles in regulating plant developmental processes and responses to environmental stresses, but only some of them have been investigated for effects on disease reaction in cereal crops. Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an effective strategy for rapid functional analysis of genes in plant tissues. In this study, TaNAC1, encoding a new member of the NAC1 subgroup, was cloned from bread wheat and characterized.

High-contrast subcutaneous vein detection and localization using multispectral imaging.

Multispectral imaging has shown promise in subcutaneous vein detection and localization in human subjects. While many limitations of single-wavelength methods are addressed in multispectral vein detection methods, their performance is still limited by artifacts arising from background skin reflectance and optimality of postprocessing algorithms. We propose a background removal technique that enhances the contrast and performance of multispectral vein detection.
