Transaxillary vs. Transsubclavian Gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy approaches for papillary thyroid cancer.

The use of transaxillary and transsubclavian approaches for endoscopic thyroidectomy has increased globally. However, studies examining the comparative outcomes of these procedures are scarce. In this study, we aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of thyroidectomy between the gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy transaxillary approach (GETTA) and gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy transsubclavian approach (GETTSA) in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC).

Identification of Novel Locus Related to Clubroot Resistance in Radish ( L.).

Clubroot is a devastating disease that causes substantial yield loss worldwide. However, the inheritance and molecular mechanisms of clubroot resistance during pathogen infection in radish remain largely unclear. In this study, we investigated the inheritance of clubroot resistance in the F population derived from crossing clubroot-resistant (CR) and clubroot-susceptible inbred lines "GLX" and "XNQ," respectively.

Starch content changes and metabolism-related gene regulation of Chinese cabbage synergistically induced by Plasmodiophora brassicae infection.

Clubroot is one of the major diseases adversely affecting Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa) yield and quality. To precisely characterize the Plasmodiophora brassicae infection on Chinese cabbage, we developed a dual fluorescent staining method for simultaneously examining the pathogen, cell structures, and starch grains. The number of starch (amylopectin) grains increased in B.

Dimerization and Isomerism Effects on Two-Photon Absorption of Tetraphenylethene Derivatives and Molecular Design for Two-Photon Absorption Materials.

The two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of a new tetraphenylethene derivative and its covalent dimers have been calculated employing the density functional response theory. It is found that linear arrangement of branches can give rise to a cooperative TPA behavior. Partial planarity and linear arrangement are the possible reasons for the observed aggregation-induced TPA enhancement.

Synthesis and pharmacological investigation of aralkyl diamine derivatives as potential triple reuptake inhibitors.

A series of aralkyl diamine derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their triple reuptake inhibitory abilities. Compounds 18c (5-HT, NE, DA, IC50 = 389, 69, 238 nM), 36a (5-HT, NE, DA, IC50 = 378, 477, 247 nM), and 36d (5-HT, NE, DA, IC50 = 501, 206, 357 nM) showed in vivo activities in the rat forced swim test at 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg PO. 36a was identified as the most promising candidate in this study.
