Polyploids recurrently emerge in angiosperms, but most polyploids are likely to go extinct before establishment due to minority cytotype exclusion, which may be specifically a constraint for dioecious plants. Here we test the hypothesis that a stable sex-determination system and spatial/ecological isolation facilitate the establishment of dioecious polyploids. We determined the ploidy levels of 351 individuals from 28 populations of the dioecious species Salix polyclona, and resequenced 190 individuals of S.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the nailfold capillary changes in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), particularly among those with Raynaud's phenomenon (RP), and the correlation between nailfold capillary changes and autoantibodies and disease activity.
Patients And Methods: A total of 85 patients (9 males, 76 females; median age 31 years; range, 15 to 58 years) with newly diagnosed SLE were selected between July 2016 and July 2018 from our hospital. Disease activity was scored by the SLE Disease Activity Index.
This study was aimed to establish the matching method of hemolytic test in vitro, and to guide the transfusion treatment for puerpera with acute hemolytic disease. The donor's erythrocytes were sensibilized by all the antibodies in plasma of patient in vitro and were added with complement, after incubation for 6.5 hours at 38 °C, the hemolysis or no hemolysis were observed.

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of LY294002, a specific inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, on growth and apoptosis of MCL Jeko-1 cell line and its mechanism. The proliferation inhibitory rate of Jeko-1 cells treated by different doses of LY294002 was assayed by MTT method; the level of apoptosis of Jeko-1 cells was detected by flow cytometry; the expression level of apoptosis-related protein Cyclin D1, Bcl-2, procaspase-3 and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway protein phosphorylated-Akt (p-Akt), phosphorylated-TOR (p-mTOR), phosphorylated-P70S6K (p-P70S6K) phosphorylated-Akt (p-Akt) in Jeko-1 cells were determined by Western blot. The results showed that the growth of Jeko-1 cell line was inhibited by LY294002.
