Plants frequently evade extreme environmental stress by initiating early flowering, yet the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, through extensive mutant screening, we identify a vegetative growth to reproductive growth transition factor (vrf1) mutant, which exhibits a deficiency in drought escape. Alternative splicing of VRF1 generates four isoforms, of which two encode functional proteins, VRF1-AS1 and VRF1-AS3.

Article Synopsis
  • * The increasing prevalence of MRMP, particularly noted in East Asia since 2000, results in extended hospitalization, poor treatment responses, and higher use of glucocorticoids and alternative antibiotics.
  • * A group of 29 experts from China developed the first global consensus on diagnosing and treating pediatric MRMP pneumonia, emphasizing the importance of early identification and appropriate treatment strategies based on current evidence.

Purpose: The toughest challenge in pedestrian traffic accident identification lies in ascertaining injury manners. This study aimed to systematically simulate and parameterize 3 types of craniocerebral injury including impact injury, fall injury, and run-over injury, to compare the injury response outcomes of different injury manners.

Methods: Based on the total human model for safety (THUMS) and its enhanced human model THUMS-hollow structures, a total of 84 simulations with 3 injury manners, different loading directions, and loading velocities were conducted.

Objective: To compare the short-term effect and adverse reaction of venetoclax (VEN) combined with azacitidine (AZA) versus "7+3" regimen in newly diagnosed elder patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Methods: From January 2021 to January 2022, the clinical data of seventy-nine newly diagnosed elder patients with AML at the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University and the Shanxi Bethune Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including VEN+AZA group (41 cases) and "7+3" group (38 cases). The propensity score matching(PSM) method was used to balance confounding factors, then response, overall survival(OS), progressionfree survival(PFS) and adverse reactions between the two groups were compared.

Objectives: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to analyze myocardial infarction tissues at different stages of pathological change to achieve the forensic pathology diagnosis of acute and old myocardial infarction.

Methods: FTIR spectra data of early ischemic myocardium, necrotic myocardium, and myocardial fibrous tissue in the left ventricular anterior wall of the sudden death group of atherosclerotic heart disease and the myocardium of the normal control group were collected using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining as a reference, and the data were analyzed using multivariate statistical analysis.

Results: The mean normalized spectra of control myocardium, early ischemic myocardium and necrotic myocardium were relatively similar, but the mean second derivative spectra were significantly different.

Background: The utility of circulating tumor DNA to monitor molecular residual disease (MRD) has been clinically confirmed to predict disease recurrence in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients after radical resection. Patients with longitudinal undetectable MRD show a favorable prognosis and might not benefit from adjuvant therapy.

Patients And Methods: The CTONG 2201 trial is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study (ClinicalTrials.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and to identify the risk factors of VTE in MM patients.

Methods: 179 newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients admitted to The Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2014 to December 2020 who were followed up for more than 6 months were collected, and they were divided into VTE group and control group according to whether combined with VTE. The clinical and laboratory data were compared between the two groups.

Photocatalytic reduction of excess CO in the atmosphere to value-added chemicals by visible light can be an effective solution to fuel shortage and global warming. Considering these issues, we designed and successfully synthesized a trinuclear Re(I)-coordinated organic cage (Re-C) as the supramolecular photocatalyst. Photophysical, electrochemical properties, and photocatalytic performance comparison of Re-C and its mononuclear analogue Re-bpy are discussed in detail.

Hydrogen sulfide (H S) performs a crucial role in plant development and abiotic stress responses by interacting with other signalling molecules. However, the synergistic involvement of H S and rhizobia in photosynthetic carbon (C) metabolism in soybean (Glycine max) under nitrogen (N) deficiency has been largely overlooked. Therefore, we scrutinised how H S drives photosynthetic C fixation, utilisation, and accumulation in soybean-rhizobia symbiotic systems.

Mechanical, thermal, and chemical pain sensation is conveyed by primary nociceptors, a subset of sensory afferent neurons. The intracellular regulation of the primary nociceptive signal is an area of active study. We report here the discovery of a Gβ5-dependent regulatory pathway within mechanical nociceptors that restrains antinociceptive input from metabotropic GABA-B receptors.

The status of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) for the prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) is controversial, and the characteristics of the somatic mutation spectrum, tumor-infiltrating leukocytes, tertiary lymphoid structures and PD-L1 protein are unknown in HER2-amplified colorectal cancer (HACC). In order to explore these characteristics along with their correlation with clinicopathological factors and prognosis in HACC. Samples of 812 CRC patients was collected.

Objectives: To explore the difference in CT values between pulmonary thromboembolism and postmortem clot in postmortem CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) to further improve the application value of virtual autopsy.

Methods: Postmortem CTPA data with the definite cause of death from 2016 to 2019 were collected and divided into pulmonary thromboembolism group (=4), postmortem clot group (=5), and control group (=5). CT values of pulmonary trunk and left and right pulmonary artery contents in each group were measured and analyzed statistically.

Article Synopsis
  • NK-lysin (NKL) is an antimicrobial peptide identified in black scraper fish, showing strong antibacterial properties and expressed primarily in gills.
  • Researchers cloned the cDNA of NKL, revealing a 150-amino-acid polypeptide with a surfactant protein B domain and demonstrated that two synthesized peptides maintained antibacterial activity without disulfide bonds.
  • Studies indicated that TmNKL significantly reduced bacterial load in infected fish, suggesting its effectiveness as a defense mechanism against bacteria like Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how skeletal muscle heals after injury, focusing on the expression of specific biomarkers like Pax7, MyoD, myogenin, and IGF-1 to estimate wound age.
  • An experiment was conducted on 30 male rats with muscle contusions, using techniques such as immunohistochemistry and PCR to analyze the levels of these biomarkers.
  • The findings indicate that the expression levels of these biomarkers increase over time post-injury, potentially making them useful indicators for determining the age of muscle wounds.

Background: The amount of treatment-related neuroendocrine prostate cancer (t-NEPC) increases after hormonal therapy, especially novel androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs). T-NEPC is considered a hormone refractory [androgen receptor (AR)-negative] subtype of prostate cancer. Although tumors are initially responsive to platinum-based chemotherapy, the drugs are only effective for a short time.

Homogeneous immunoassays represent an attractive alternative to traditional heterogeneous assays due to their simplicity and high efficiency. Homogeneous electrochemical assays, however, are not commonly accessed due to the requirement of electrode immobilization of the recognition elements. Herein, we demonstrate a new homogeneous electrochemical immunoassay based on the aggregation-collision strategy for the quantification of tumor protein biomarker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP).
