Ectopic expression of LONELY GUY7 in epidermis of internodal segments for de novo shoot regeneration without phytohormone treatment in ipecac.

In many plant species, the application of exogenous phytohormones is crucial for initiating de novo shoot regeneration. However, ipecac [Carapichea ipecacuanha (Brot) L. Andersson] has a unique ability to develop adventitious shoots on the epidermis of internodal segments without phytohormone treatment.

Comparison of postoperative prognoses for resectable colorectal cancer with vs. without oncologic emergency using propensity score‑matched analyses: A single-center retrospective observational study.

While oncological emergencies in colorectal cancer present distinct challenges, existing literature offers conflicting evidence regarding long-term outcomes. Therefore, the present study compared the postoperative prognoses between patients with and without oncological emergencies. A retrospective evaluation was conducted on patients who had undergone radical surgery for pathological stages II and III colorectal cancer at a single center between January 2012 and December 2020.

Decreased Abundance of Genus in Individuals With Obesity and Colorectal Adenoma.

Background And Aims: The increasing prevalence of obesity has significantly contributed to the global burden of colorectal cancer and the precancerous colorectal adenoma (CRA). Gut microbiota vary at each stage of colorectal carcinogenesis and participate in energy homeostasis. Elucidating gut microbiotal characteristics in obesity-related CRA may help prevent and treat colorectal tumors; however, this remains unclarified.

Metal-organic framework adhesives with exceptionally high heat resistance.

We synthesized high-heat-resistant adhesives based on metal - organic frameworks owing to their high decomposition temperature and the absence of a glass transition. Heat-resistance tests were performed on adhesive joints consisting of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-67-based adhesives and a copper substrate. The as-synthesized ZIF-67-based adhesive exhibited heat resistances at 600 and 700°C in air and nitrogen atmospheres, respectively, comparable to those of conventional high-heat-resistant polymer-based adhesives.

Aversion to a High Salt Taste is Disturbed in Patients With CKD.

Introduction: A reduced salt intake is a vital lifestyle modification in the management of hypertension. Initiatives aimed at decreasing the intake of salt are based on the preference by humans for a salt taste. Salt intake behavior appears to be affected by the balance between attraction to a low salt taste and aversion to a high salt taste.
