Induction of systemic resistance through calcium signaling in Arabidopsis exposed to air plasma-generated dinitrogen pentoxide.

Plasma technology, which can instantaneously transform air molecules into reactive species stimulating plants, potentially contributes to developing a sustainable agricultural system with high productivity and low environmental impact. In fact, plant immunity activation by exposure to a reactive gas mainly consisting of dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) was recently discovered, while physiological responses to N2O5 are rarely known. Here, we demonstrate early (within 10 min) physiological responses to N2O5 gas in Arabidopsis.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Low Anterior Resection Syndrome.

Defecation disorders following rectal resection have long been overlooked as an inevitable surgical complication due to the lack of established diagnostic criteria or definitions. However, these disorders have been recently termed low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), which is a defecation disorder that occurs following rectal resection and impairs the patient's quality of life (QOL). The LARS score developed by Emmertsen et al.

Formation of Nanowindow between Graphene Oxide and Carbon Nanohorn Assisted by Metal Ions.

This study presents a novel nanostructured material formed by inserting oxidized carbon nanohorns (CNHox) between layered graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets using metal ions (M) from nitrate as intermediates. The resulting GO-CNHox-M structure effectively mitigated interlayer aggregation of the GO nanosheets. This insertion strategy promoted the formation of nanowindows on the surface of the GO sheets and larger mesopores between the GO nanosheets, improving material porosity.

HOXA11-As Promotes Lymph Node Metastasis Through Regulation of IFNL and HMGB Family Genes in Pancreatic Cancer.

Recent studies have shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play pivotal roles in the development and progression of cancer. In the present study, we aimed to identify lncRNAs associated with lymph node metastasis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We analyzed data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to screen for genes overexpressed in primary PDAC tumors with lymph node metastasis.
