Four New Species and a New Combination of () from Subtropical and Tropical China.

Previous studies have shown that boletes are abundant and diverse in China, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. In the present study, morphological, ecological, host relationship, and a four-locus (28S, , , and ) molecular phylogenetic analyses were used to study the family in subtropical and tropical China. Four new bluing species are described from three genera, viz.

The discriminatory diagnostic value of multimodal ultrasound combined with blood cell analysis for granulomatous lobular mastitis and invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast.

Objective: To explore the discriminatory diagnostic value of multimodal ultrasound(US) combined with blood cell analysis (BCA) for Granulomatous Lobular Mastitis (GLM) and Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) of the breast.

Methods: A total of 157 breast disease patients were collected and divided into two groups based on postoperative pathological results: the GLM group (57 cases with 57 lesions) and the IDC group (100 cases with 100 lesions). Differences in multimodal ultrasound features and the presence of BCA were compared between the two groups.

 (Pottiaceae, Bryophyta), a new species from Inner Mongolia steppe, China and its phylogenetic position, based on molecular data.

Inner Mongolia steppe is one of the suitable habitats for species and a new species, C. Feng & J. Kou from Manhan Mountain in semi-arid region in Inner Mongolia, China is described and illustrated.

Reinstatement of species rank for (Bryophyta, Grimmiaceae) based on molecular and morphological data.

The genus Hedw. has been considered taxonomically difficult because of its great morphological variability, and its treatments by different specialists have led to incongruent results. One of the debates in the genus is the species status of Kern, an Asian-European disjunct moss species that has been considered identical to Bruch & Schimp.

The prevalence and characteristics of alexithymia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Alexithymia is common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Although the estimated prevalence of alexithymia in patients with T2DM is widely reported, these results have not been synthesized.

Aim: To systematically assess the prevalence and characteristics of alexithymia in patients with T2DM.

Influence of Life Meaning on Subjective Well-Being of Older People: Serial Multiple Mediation of Exercise Identification and Amount of Exercise.

This study aimed to explore the relationship between life meaning and subjective well-being among older people and the mediating role of subjective exercise identification and objective amount of exercise. A total of 352 older respondents completed four questionnaires: the Chinese life meaning scale, the University of Newfoundland Happiness Scale, the physical activity habits questionnaire, and the exercise identification questionnaire designed for this study. Gender differences existed in the respondents' perception of life meaning, and men had a better perception of life meaning ( = 2.

[Effects of biological agent dripping on cotton Verticillium wilt and rhizosphere soil microorganism].

Biological agent is an important green pathway to control Verticillium wilt. A field experiment was performed to examine the effects of Bacillus subtilis agent (15, 30 and 45 kg·hm), Trichoderma humatum agent (15, 18 and 24 kg·hm), 'Yufeng 99' agent (15, 22.5 and 30 kg·hm) and Zhongnonglyukang agent (30, 45 and 60 kg·hm) on cotton Verticillium wilt and soil microbial community.

Pharmacological Basis for Use of in Gouty Arthritis: Antihyperuricemic, Anti-Inflammatory, and Xanthine Oxidase Inhibition.

This study was aimed at evaluating the effects of Hieron. (SM) on gouty arthritis and getting an insight of the possible mechanisms. HPLC method was developed for chemical analysis.

Value of ¹⁸F-FDG PET-CT in surveillance of postoperative colorectal cancer patients with various carcinoembryonic antigen concentrations.

Aim: To evaluate the value of positron emission tomography (PET)/computerized tomography (CT) in surveillance of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with different carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) concentrations.

Methods: One hundred and six postoperative CRC patients who had suspected recurrence or metastasis and received fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT within one week were included in this study. The final diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination or clinical follow-up over at least six months.

Clinical applications of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography in carcinoma of unknown primary.

Background: Carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) encompasses a heterogeneous group of tumors with varying clinical features. The management of patients of CUP remains a clinical challenge. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical applications of integrated (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) information in patients with CUP, including detecting the occult primary tumor and effecting on disease therapy.

Respiratory viruses in hospitalized children with acute lower respiratory tract infections in harbin, China.

This study investigated the prevalence of respiratory viruses, including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza virus types A and B (Flu A/B), parainfluenza virus (Para) 1-3, and adenovirus (Ad), in hospitalized children with acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRIs). Immunofluorescence assays identified viral etiology in 412 patients younger than 16 years old. The overall viral isolation rate was 63.

[Analysis of clinical characteristics of gastrointestinal cancer in Heilongjiang province, China 1998 to 2007].

Objective: To provide basic information for epidemiological research of gastrointestinal (GI) malignant tumors.

Methods: Data of GI cancer diagnosed in 15 hospitals of Heilongjiang province between January 1998 and December 2007 were analyzed retrospectively. The data mainly involved the age of onset, initial symptoms, pathological types, clinical staging and types of surgical procedure.

Effect of LHRH-PE40 on target cells via LHRH receptors.

Objective: To detect the effect and cytotoxicity of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone-Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin 40 (LHRH-PE40) on target cells using LHRH receptors (LHRHR).

Methods: The affinity of LHRH-PE40 and LHRH binding to LHRHR on the membrane surface of target cells were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Morphological observations with light microscope were used to analyze its receptor pathway, with Spiegelmer, and cytotoxicity.

[Randomized clinical study of surgery versus radiotherapy alone in the treatment of resectable esophageal cancer in the chest].

Objective: To compare the treatment results between radical surgery and late course accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy (LCAHFR) for patients with resectable esophageal cancer in the chest.

Methods: From June 1998 to September 2002, 269 patients with resectable esophageal cancer in the chest were randomized into two groups: 135 in surgery group and 134 in radiotherapy. The surgery group received esophagectomy including resection of the lesion and 5 cm margin at both ends from the lesion as well as surrounding lymph nodes > or = 5 mm and fatty tissue.
