Melatonin modulates the tolerance of plants to water stress: morphological response of the molecular mechanism.

Water stress (drought and waterlogging) leads to an imbalance in plant water distribution, disrupts cell homeostasis, and severely inhibits plant growth. Melatonin is a growth hormone that plants synthesise and has been shown to resist adversity in many plants. This review discusses the biosynthesis and metabolism of melatonin, as well as the changes in plant morphology and physiological mechanisms caused by the molecular defence process.

Clinical features and development of Sepsis in Klebsiella pneumoniae infected liver abscess patients: a retrospective analysis of 135 cases.

Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a primary pathogen of pyogenic liver abscess (PLA). However, little data are available on combination with sepsis. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and prognostic differences of PLA patients with sepsis.

An intractable hematoma after cranioplasty cured by scalp cryohemostasis treatment.

We report an intractable post cranioplasty hematoma which required multiple operations. The titanium cranioplasty was for a cranial defect from surgery for an intracranial hemorrhage. Despite removal of the cranioplasty the haematoma repeatedly recurred.
