Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) prognosis is closely tied to the interplay between nutrition and inflammation. However, comprehensive nutritional-inflammatory indices for prognostic evaluation are rare in CKD. This study explored the association of the advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and all-cause mortality in CKD patients.

Nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) is an evolutionarily conserved heterotrimeric transcription factor in eukaryotes. In a previous study, OsNF-YB12 was confirmed to be associated with drought tolerance using the Ecotilling method. In this study, real-time quantitative RT-PCR revealed that OsNF-YB12 was induced by various abiotic stresses and phytohormones, with expression levels differing between leaves and roots.

Fertility punishment is a powerful interpretation of the low birth rate in contemporary China, but it is not consistent with the fact that the proportion of second children has been increasing year by year for some time. From the perspective of Bandura's "Self-efficacy", based on the post-80 s and post-90 s youth samples in the Psychology and Behavior Investigation of Chinese Residents 2021, this paper explores the quantitative relationship between the number of children and individual self-efficacy. The data indicates that: (1) Fertility is closely linked to self-efficacy, with young people who have two children exhibiting higher self-efficacy; (2) The quantitative relationship between the number of children and self-efficacy varies based on parental roles-men/fathers show almost no change in self-efficacy when moving from having no children to one child, but demonstrate a significant increase in self-efficacy when they have two children.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to create experimental models of radical hysterectomy in female rats using the Querleu-Morrow classification to analyze pelvic nerve damage and changes in urinary function post-surgery.
  • Rats underwent different types of surgery (sham, A, B1, C1, C2) with various degrees of injury, and evaluations included histological analysis and tests for urinary function 21 days post-operation.
  • Findings indicated that more severe surgical procedures (C1 and C2) led to greater nerve damage and a higher incidence of urinary retention and neurogenic bladder, highlighting the models' relevance to human cases.

With the continuous development of robot-assisted technology, Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy (RALPN) has gradually become an optional method for the treatment of Hemorrhage secondary to angiomyolipoma (HSA). However, there are rare clinical reports of the primary RALPN for HSA. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of primary RALPN for HSA.

Key Message: The hybrid rice variety (Hanyou73) exhibits the maternal-like (HH7A) gene expression in roots and parental-like (HH3) gene expression in leaves to obtain both advantages of drought avoidance and drought tolerance from its two parents.

Background: Rice is one of the most important crops in the world. Rice production consumes lots of water and significantly suffers from the water deficiency and drought stress.

Objectives: This article studied the single-factor causal relationships between the social environment, health cognition, and health behavior of the individuals with non-fixed employment and their adverse health outcomes, as well as the complex causal relationships of multiple factors on these outcomes.

Methods: Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Fuzzy-Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) are employed. Data is collected from the results of an open questionnaire

Results: PLS-SEM analysis reveals that health risk behaviors and cognition play a mediating role in impact of the social environment on adverse health outcomes, indicating that individuals with non-fixed employment susceptible to adverse health outcomes.

Polyploid is considered an advantage that has evolved to be more environmentally adaptable than its diploid. To understand if doubled chromosome of diploid rice can improve drought tolerance, we evaluated the diploid (2X) and autotetraploid (4X) plants of three indica and three japonica varieties. Drought stress in the plastic bucket of four-leaf stage revealed that the drought tolerance of 4X plants was lower than that of its diploid donor plants.

Background And Aims: Epidemiological evidence suggests that the phenotype of glutathione S-transferase mu 1 (GSTM1), a hepatic high-expressed phase II detoxification enzyme, is closely associated with the incidence of alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). However, whether and how hepatic GSTM1 determines the development of ALD is largely unclear. This study was designed to elucidate the role and potential mechanism(s) of hepatic GSTM1 in the pathological process of ALD.

Emerging evidence discloses the involvement of calcium channel protein in the pathological process of liver diseases. Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 3 (TRPC3), a ubiquitously expressed non-selective cation channel protein, controls proliferation, inflammation, and immune response via operating calcium influx in various organs. However, our understanding on the biofunction of hepatic TRPC3 is still limited.

Tumor-associated macrophages constitute the main cell population in the tumor microenvironment and play a crucial role in regulating the microenvironment composition. Emerging evidence has revealed that the metabolic profile determines the tumor-associated macrophage phenotype. Tumor-associated macrophage function is highly dependent on glucose metabolism, with glycolysis being the major metabolic pathway.
