Characterization of Thirty Germplasms of Millet Pepper ( L.) in Terms of Fruit Morphology, Capsaicinoids, and Nutritional Components.

Background: Millet peppers have rich and diverse germplasm resources. It is of great significance to characterize their phenotypes and physicochemical indicators.

Methods: 30 millet germplasms were selected to measure the fruit length and width, flesh thickness, number of ventricles, fruit stalk length, and single fruit weight, and the texture characteristics of fruit such as hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, and chewiness were determined by a texture analyzer.

The complete chloroplast genome of 'Yunqie 9'.

'Yunqie 9' was selected by the Horticultural Research Institute of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences based on the local environment of Yunnan Province. It is excellent in fruit quality and yield, but it is relatively weak in disease resistance. No information on complete chloroplast genome and position in the phylogeny of to restrict its genetic improvement.

Efficacy and Safety of Lenvatinib Plus Programmed Death-1 Inhibitors with or Without Transarterial Chemoembolization in the Treatment of Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Purpose: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is recommended as a standard therapy for intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and is the most widely used first-line treatment for advanced HCC. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical benefits and tolerability of TACE added to a combination of lenvatinib and programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor in patients with unresectable HCC (uHCC).

Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 144 patients with uHCC treated between August 2020 and August 2023.

Complete genome sequence provides information on quorum sensing related spoilage and virulence of Aeromonas salmonicida GMT3 isolated from spoiled sturgeon.

Foodborne bacteria can pose a threat to the public health due to their spoilage and virulence potential, which can be regulated by quorum sensing (QS) system. In the study, we isolated a spoilage bacteria strain Aeromonas salmonicida GMT3 from refrigerated sturgeon. The complete genome of A.
