Analysis of the effectiveness and safety of 7.5 Fr ultra-thin flexible ureteroscope combined with a tip-flexible suctioning ureteral access sheath for the treatment of kidney stones.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of using a 7.5 Fr flexible ureteroscope (f-URS) with tip-flexible suctioning ureteral access sheath (TFS-UAS) versus a 9.2 Fr f-URS with traditional ureteral access sheath (T-UAS) in the treatment of kidney stones.

Chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of Clanis bilineata tsingtauica Mell (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae).

The soybean hawkmoth Clanis bilineata tsingtauica Mell (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae; CBT), as one of the main leaf-chewing pests of soybeans, has gained popularity as an edible insect in China recently due to its high nutritional value. However, high-quality genome of CBT remains unclear, which greatly limits further research. In the present study, we assembled a high-quality chromosome-level genome of CBT using PacBio HiFi reads and Hi-C technologies for the first time.

A block cipher algorithm identification scheme based on hybrid k-nearest neighbor and random forest algorithm.

Cryptographic algorithm identification, which refers to analyzing and identifying the encryption algorithm used in cryptographic system, is of great significance to cryptanalysis. In order to improve the accuracy of identification work, this article proposes a new ensemble learning-based model named hybrid k-nearest neighbor and random forest (HKNNRF), and constructs a block cipher algorithm identification scheme. In the ciphertext-only scenario, we use NIST randomness test methods to extract ciphertext features, and carry out binary-classification and five-classification experiments on the block cipher algorithms using proposed scheme.

Genetic Dissection of Rice Ratooning Ability Using an Introgression Line Population and Substitution Mapping of a Pleiotropic Quantitative Trait Locus .

Ratooning ability is a key factor that influences ratoon rice yield, in the area where light and temperature are not enough for second season rice. In the present study, an introgression line population derived from Minghui 63 as the recipient parent and 02428 as the donor parent was developed, and a high-density bin map containing 4568 bins was constructed. Nine ratooning-ability-related traits were measured, including maximum tiller number, panicle number, and grain yield per plant in the first season and ratoon season, as well as three secondary traits, maximum tiller number ratio, panicle number ratio, and grain yield ratio.

[6 + 3] Annulations of Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates and dicyanoheptafulvene.

A [6 + 3] annulation reaction of Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates and dicyanoheptafulvene is accomplished by employing commercially available triphenylphosphine as the Lewis base catalyst. A spectrum of densely functionalized bicyclo[4.3.

Relative Factors Analysis of Imatinib Trough Concentration in Chinese Patients with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor.

Aims: Imatinib plasma trough levels (IM Cmin) have been reported to have a considerable clinical impact in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). We therefore have investigated the factors affecting IM plasma concentration in Chinese GIST patients.

Methods: IM Cmin in 190 patients with GIST who were taking IM were measured.

Gene diagnosis and targeted breeding for blast-resistant Kongyu 131 without changing regional adaptability.

The fungus Magnaporthe oryzae threatens the rice production of Kongyu 131 (KY131), a leading japonica variety in Northeast China. In this study, two rice lines, KP1 and KP2-Hd1, were obtained by introgressing the blast resistance genes Pi1 and Pi2 into KY131, respectively. However, both lines headed later than KY131.

Examining two sets of introgression lines reveals background-independent and stably expressed QTL that improve grain appearance quality in rice (Oryza sativa L.).

A novel QTL cluster for appearance quality on Chr07 was identified using reciprocal introgression populations in different locations in China. Two secondary F populations validated QTL with significant effect on appearance quality. Appearance quality (AQ) is the main determinants of market value of rice.
