Three-dimensional printing technique aids screw insertion into the sustentaculum tali of the internal fixation of intra-articular calcaneal fractures.

Introduction: Treating complex calcaneus fractures remains challenging. This study evaluated the influence of 3D printing and simulation on precision screw insertion into the calcaneus sustentaculum tali (ST).

Hypothesis: 3D printing and simulation improve the treatment for calcaneal fracture.

Comparative changes of health-promoting phytochemicals and sugar metabolism of two hardy kiwifruit () cultivars during fruit development and maturity.

Introduction: Hardy kiwifruit () has an extensive range of nutritional and bioactive compounds and has been valued as a great resource for kiwifruit breeding. A better understanding of the dynamic changes of the composition and accumulation of nutritional compounds during fruit development and ripening is required before genetic or cultural improvements can be targeted.

Methods: In the present study, the phytochemical analysis of two cultivars 'Yilv' and 'Lvmi-1' showed that they comprised different morphology, with a higher fruit diameter while a lower vertical fruit diameter of 'Lvmi-1' compared with 'Yilv'.

Transcriptomic Analysis and the Effect of Maturity Stage on Fruit Quality Reveal the Importance of the L-Galactose Pathway in the Ascorbate Biosynthesis of Hardy Kiwifruit ().

Hardy kiwifruit () has recently become popular in fresh markets due to its edible skin and rich nutritional value. In the present study, different harvest stages of two cultivars, 'Issai' and 'Ananasnaya' ("Ana"), were chosen for investigating the effects of maturity on the quality of the fruit. Interestingly, Issai contained 3.

Genome-Wide Investigation of G6PDH Gene in Strawberry: Evolution and Expression Analysis during Development and Stress.

As one of the key enzymes in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) provides NADPH and plays an important role in plant development and stress responses. However, little information was available about the G6PDH genes in strawberry ( × ). The recent release of the whole-genome sequence of strawberry allowed us to perform a genome-wide investigation into the organization and expression profiling of strawberry G6PDH genes.
