Pectin demethylation-mediated cell wall Na retention positively regulates salt stress tolerance in oilseed rape.

Integrated phenomics, ionomics, genomics, transcriptomics, and functional analyses present novel insights into the role of pectin demethylation-mediated cell wall Na retention in positively regulating salt tolerance in oilseed rape. Genetic variations in salt stress tolerance identified in rapeseed genotypes highlight the complicated regulatory mechanisms. Westar is ubiquitously used as a transgenic receptor cultivar, while ZS11 is widely grown as a high-production and good-quality cultivar.

Risk factor analysis of changes in blood flow in the A1 segment of the anterior cerebral artery after flow-diverter coverage of it.

Few studies have explored the effect of a flow-diverter device (FD) on blood flow in the A1 segment of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA), after treatment of intracranial aneurysms in the bifurcation region of the internal carotid artery (ICA). The main objective of this article is to investigate the factors that affect A1 blood flow after FD covers the A1 artery. This is a single-center, retrospective study.

Morpho-physiological, Genomic, and Transcriptional Diversities in Response to Potassium Deficiency in Rapeseed ( L.) Genotypes.

Variations in the resistance to potassium (K) deficiency among rapeseed genotypes emphasize complicated regulatory mechanisms. In this study, a low-K-sensitivity accession (L49) responded to K deficiency with smaller biomasses, severe leaf chlorosis, weaker photosynthesis ability, and deformed stomata morphology compared to a low-K resistant accession (H280). H280 accumulated more K than L49 under low K.

Mono+ algorithm assessment of the diagnostic value of dual-energy CT for high-risk factors for colorectal cancer: a preliminary study.

Background: Risk factors for colorectal cancer (CRC) affect the way patients are subsequently treated and their prognosis. Dual-energy computerized tomography (DECT) is an advanced imaging technique that enables the quantitative evaluation of lesions. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of DECT images based on the Mono+ algorithm in CRC, and based on this, to assess the value of DECT in the diagnosis of CRC risk factors.

Very high-frequency, gate-tunable CrPS nanomechanical resonator with single mode.

Two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnetic semiconductor chromium thiophosphate (CrPS) has gradually become a major candidate material for low-dimensional nanoelectromechanical devices due to its remarkable structural, photoelectric characteristics and potentially magnetic properties. Here, we report the experimental study of a new few-layer CrPS nanomechanical resonator demonstrating excellent vibration characteristics through the laser interferometry system, including the uniqueness of resonant mode, the ability to work at the very high frequency, and gate tuning. In addition, we demonstrate that the magnetic phase transition of CrPS strips can be effectively detected by temperature-regulated resonant frequencies, which proves the coupling between magnetic phase and mechanical vibration.

Genome-Scale Investigation of Family Genes Reveals Their Pivotal Roles in Nutrient Stress Resistance in Allotetraploid Rapeseed.

The genes are plant-specific transcription factors (TFs) and play key roles in regulating plant development and abiotic stress resistance. However, few systematic analyses of have been reported in allotetraploid rapeseed ( L.) yet.

Low iron ameliorates the salinity-induced growth cessation of seminal roots in wheat seedlings.

Wheat plants are ubiquitously simultaneously exposed to salinity and limited iron availability caused by soil saline-alkalisation. Through this study, we found that both low Fe and NaCl severely inhibited the growth of seminal roots in wheat seedlings; however, sufficient Fe caused greater growth cessation of seminal roots than low Fe under salt stress. Low Fe improved the root meristematic division activity, not altering the mature cell sizes compared with sufficient Fe under salt stress.

Integrated physiological and transcriptional dissection reveals the core genes involving nutrient transport and osmoregulatory substance biosynthesis in allohexaploid wheat seedlings under salt stress.

Background: Soil salinization has become a global problem restricting the seed yield and quality of crops, including wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Salinity significantly alters plant morphology and severely disrupts physiological homeostasis.

Multiomics reveals an essential role of long-distance translocation in regulating plant cadmium resistance and grain accumulation in allohexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum).

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal that readily enters cereals, such as wheat, via the roots and is translocated to the shoots and grains, thereby posing high risks to human health. However, the vast and complex genome of allohexaploid wheat makes it challenging to understand Cd resistance and accumulation. In this study, a Cd-resistant cultivar of wheat, 'ZM1860', and a Cd-sensitive cultivar, 'ZM32', selected from a panel of 442 accessions, exhibited significantly different plant resistance and grain accumulation.

Umbilical Cord Blood Mononuclear Cell Treatment for Neonatal Rats With Hypoxic Ischemia.

Background: Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) occurs when an infant's brain has not received adequate oxygen and blood supply, resulting in ischemic and hypoxic damage. Currently, supportive care and hypothermia therapy have been the standard treatment for HIE. However, there are still over 20% of treated infants died and 19-30% survived with significant disability.

A new Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy model in neonatal rats.

Background: Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) occurs when an infant's brain does not receive adequate blood and oxygen supply, resulting in ischemic and hypoxic brain damage during delivery. Currently, supportive care and hypothermia have been the standard treatment for HIE. However, there are still a 20% mortality and most of the survivors are associated with significant neurodevelopmental disability.

Treatment for Spontaneous Intracranial Dissecting Aneurysms in Childhood: A Retrospective Study of 26 Cases.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the clinicoradiological features and treatment outcomes of intracranial dissecting aneurysms (IDAs) in childhood.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of pediatric patients who were treated for spontaneous IDAs in our institute between January 2010 and December 2015. The clinical presentation, aneurysm characteristics, treatment modality, and outcome were studied.

Immunohistochemical study of toll-like receptors 2, 4, and 9 expressions in pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid lesions.

Pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid (BP) are severe autoimmune skin diseases. Whether innate immunity could be a trigger or a part of the pathogeneses is unknown. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important components of the innate immune system, with no previous evaluation of TLRs in autoimmune bullous diseases.

Idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation in a Chinese child.

We present a case of a healthy 8-year-old boy who presented with disseminated asymptomatic brown macules on the face, neck, trunk, and proximal extremities for 3 months. Dermatologic examination revealed multiple, smooth, nonscaly, brown macules involving the face, neck, trunk, and proximal limbs. The Darier's sign was negative.
