Projecting the Current Salient Relational Situations Into the Past and Future Across Cultures.

The present research examined cultural differences in interpersonal memories and forecasts, situated in a currently salient positive or negative interpersonal context. We found that a negative focal event, compared to a positive one, led to more negative memories and forecasts of interpersonal encounters. The effect was stronger among Euro-Canadians than among Chinese.

Early changes to retinal structure in patients with diabetic retinopathy as determined by ultrawide swept-source optical coherence tomography-angiography.

Purpose: To investigate retinal vascular changes in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) using the newly developed ultrawide rapid scanning swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) device.

Methods: This cross-sectional, observational study enrolled 24 patients (47 eyes) with DR, 45 patients (87 eyes) with diabetes mellitus (DM) without DR, and 36 control subjects (71 eyes). All subjects underwent 24 × 20 mm SS-OCTA examination.

Different scan areas affect the detection rates of diabetic retinopathy lesions by high-speed ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography.

Introduction: The study aimed to determine the effect of the scanning area used for high-speed ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) on the detection rate of diabetic retinopathy (DR) lesions.

Methods: This prospective, observational study involved diabetic patients between October 2021 and April 2022. The participants underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination and high-speed ultra-widefield SS-OCTA using a 24 mm × 20 mm scanning protocol.

Ultra-widefield color fundus photography combined with high-speed ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography for non-invasive detection of lesions in diabetic retinopathy.

Purpose: To compare the detection rate of diabetic retinopathy (DR) lesions and the agreement of DR severity grading using the ultra-widefield color fundus photography (UWF CFP) combined with high-speed ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF SS-OCTA) or fluorescein angiography (FFA).

Methods: This prospective, observational study recruited diabetic patients who had already taken the FFA examination from November 2021 to June 2022. These patients had either no DR or any stage of DR.

Identification of the WRKY gene family and functional analysis of two genes in Caragana intermedia.

Background: WRKY transcription factors, one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators in plants, play important roles in plant development and various stress responses. The WRKYs of Caragana intermedia are still not well characterized, although many WRKYs have been identified in various plant species.

Results: We identified 53 CiWRKY genes from C.
