Polyaniline-Coated Porous Vanadium Nitride Microrods for Enhanced Performance of a Lithium-Sulfur Battery.

To solve the slow kinetics of polysulfide conversion reaction in Li-S battery, many transition metal nitrides were developed for sulfur hosts. Herein, novel polyaniline-coated porous vanadium nitride (VN) microrods were synthesized via a calcination, washing and polyaniline-coating process, which served as sulfur host for Li-S battery exhibited high electrochemical performance. The porous VN microrods with high specific surface area provided enough interspace to overcome the volume change of the cathode.

Efficacy and safety of sivelestat sodium for the treatment of inflammatory response in acute Stanford type A aortic dissection: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after surgery for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) via cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are strongly associated with mortality. Although the sivelestat sodium has been approved for the treatment of patients with acute lung injury, there is currently no enough evidence for improving inflammatory response and reducing the associated mortality. Our study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of sivelestat sodium for the treatment of inflammatory response in acute Stanford type A aortic dissection.

Regulatory interaction of BcWRKY33A and BcHSFA4A promotes salt tolerance in non-heading Chinese cabbage [ (syn. ) ssp. ].

Salinity is a universal environmental stress that causes yield reduction in plants. WRKY33, which has been extensively studied in plant defense against necrotrophic pathogens, has recently been found to be important in salt-responsive pathways. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms controlling the involvement of in salt tolerance have not been fully characterized.

Plasma-derived extracellular vesicles transfer microRNA-130a-3p to alleviate myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury by targeting ATG16L1.

OsWUS promotes tiller bud growth by establishing weak apical dominance in rice.

Two branching strategies are exhibited in crops: enhanced apical dominance, as in maize; or weak apical dominance, as in rice. However, the underlying mechanism of weak apical dominance remains elusive. OsWUS, an ortholog of Arabidopsis WUSCHEL (WUS) in rice, is required for tiller development.

CHR721, interacting with OsRPA1a, is essential for both male and female reproductive development in rice.

CHR721 functions as a chromatin remodeler and interacts with a known single-stranded binding protein, OsRPA1a, to regulate both male and female reproductive development in rice. Reproductive development and fertility are important for seed production in rice. Here, we identified a sterile rice mutant, chr721, that exhibited defects in both male and female reproductive development.
