Background: Compared with a lower neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR), a higher one denotes severe asthma exacerbation in hospitalized asthmatic children. In addition, NLR is significantly higher in pediatric patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) than those without. Nevertheless, its role in pediatric patients with concomitant asthmatic exacerbation and CAP remains unknown.

- The study analyzed detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology and Hf isotopic data from Early-Middle Triassic clastic rocks in the eastern Sichuan Basin to determine sediment sources and the timing of the collision between the South and North China blocks.
- The Early Triassic Feixianguan Formation yielded a major age peak at 2476 Ma, likely from the South China Block, while the Jialingjiang Formation showed mixed sources from both the South China Block and the Qinling Orogenic Belt, marking the first evidence of Qinling detritus in the basin.
- The Middle Triassic Leikoupo Formation revealed zircon ages indicating a shift to provenance from the Qinling Orogenic Belt, suggesting a
Introduction: Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a kind of high quality leguminous forage species, which was widely cultivated in the world. Leaf senescence is an essential process in plant development and life cycle. Here, we reported the isolation and functional analysis of an alfalfa SENESCENCE-ASSOCIATED GENE113 (MsSAG113), which belongs to the PP2C family and mainly plays a role in promoting plant senescence.

Objective: To explore the genotype-phenotype correlation of a case with GM1-gangliosidosis caused by compound heterogenic variants in GLB1.
Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples from the patient and her parents. Trio-based whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed for the family and suspected mutation was verified by Sanger sequencing.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Chuanhuang No.1 Recipe (CHR) on kidney function and inflammation in patients with phase 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to Losartan Potassium.
- A total of 60 CKD patients were randomly divided into two groups, receiving either CHR or Losartan for 24 weeks, and various renal biomarkers were measured before and after treatment.
- Results showed that CHR led to significant improvements in serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and overall kidney function, while also reducing inflammation markers more effectively than Losartan, resulting in a higher overall treatment success rate with CHR.
