Metabonomics reveals the mechanism of stress resistance in Vetiveria zizanioides inoculated with AMF under copper stress.

Vetiveria zizanioides, renowned for its robust stability and exceptional capacity to sequester heavy metals, has garnered widespread application in tailings ecological restoration efforts. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which are capable of forming symbiotic relationships with more than 80% of terrestrial plant roots, play a pivotal role in enhancing plant nutrient uptake and bolstering resilience. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive investigation into the physiological and biochemical responses of Vetiveria zizanioides subjected to varying levels of copper stress (with copper concentrations ranging from 0 mg/kg to 400 mg/kg), with or without AMF inoculation.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy for Military Populations with Chronic Pain: A Systematic Review.

Due to the limited role of chronic pain medication in military personnel and the distress caused to the military population, mindfulness-based therapy has been considered for the follow-up treatment of military personnel with chronic pain. The purpose of this review is to explore the effect and the implementation of mindfulness-based therapy for the military population with chronic pain. The keywords for the search included "mindfulness" AND ("pain" OR "chronic pain") AND ("military" OR "veteran").

Effect of Dexmedetomidine on Apoptosis and Early Cognitive Dysfunction in Rats Following Propofol Anesthesia.

Molecular markers in and of 237 Plasmodium falciparum infections imported from central Africa between 2016 and 2021 were detected.

Molecular Epidemiology of Drug Resistance Genes in Plasmodium falciparum Isolates Imported from Nigeria between 2016 and 2020: Continued Emergence of Fully Resistant - Alleles.

Malaria poses public health threats worldwide. Nigeria accounted for the highest numbers of cases (26.8%) and deaths (31.

SARS-CoV-2 and Co-Infection in a Returning Traveler.

Since December 2019, the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has become a non-neglectable context for the whole healthcare system. Under the background of COVID-19, the detection and diagnosis of malaria cases are under challenge. Here, we reported a COVID-19 and malaria co-infection traveler who has a long living history in Cameroon.

Soil-transmitted helminths, intestinal protozoa and Clonorchis sinensis infections in southeast China.

Background: Extensive parasitic diseases epidemiology in Zhejiang province has not been carried out since the second national survey in 2004. Therefore, dynamics in prevalence and infection pattern of the major intestinal parasites should be explored.

Methods: The distribution of three parasites including soil-transmitted helminths (STH), intestinal protozoa and C.

Classification of Early-Onset and Late-Onset Idiopathic Chronic Pancreatitis Needs Reconsideration.

Bimodal classification of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP) into early-onset (<35 years) and late-onset (>35 years) ICP was proposed in 1994 based on a study of 66 patients. However, bimodal distribution wasn't sufficiently demonstrated. Our objective was to examine the validity and relevance of the age-based bimodal classification of ICP.

Data Prediction of Mobile Network Traffic in Public Scenes by SOS-SVR Method.

Accurate base station traffic data in a public place with large changes in the amount of people could help predict the occurrence of network congestion, which would allow us to effectively allocate network resources. This is of great significance for festival network support, routine maintenance, and resource scheduling. However, there are a few related reports on base station traffic prediction, especially base station traffic prediction in public scenes with fluctuations in people flow.

Identification and molecular typing of Naegleria fowleri from a patient with primary amebic meningoencephalitis in China.

Naegleria fowleri is the only Naegleria spp. known to cause an acute, fulminant, and rapidly fatal central nervous system infection in humans called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). In 2016, a patient with suspected PAM was found in Zhejiang Province of China.

Genetic diversity analysis of PvCSP and its application in tracking of Plasmodium vivax.

Background: Plasmodium vivax remains a potential cause of morbidity and mortality for people living where it is endemic. Understanding the regional genetic diversity of P. vivax is valuable for studying population dynamics and tracing the origins of parasites.
