The aim is to reduce the elastic deformation of the web and side walls of low-stiffness thin-walled beams when the floating fixture method is used. This paper takes the number and position of fixture points as the optimization variables, establishes a calculation model of elastic deformation, and constructs the objective function of maximum total elastic deformation. An optimized solution utilizing the augmented multiplier method is employed, which forms the basis for the fixture layout optimization method to reduce the elastic deformation of low-stiffness thin-walled beams.

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) is a significant pathological process in stroke, characterized by neuronal cell death and neurological dysfunction. Metformin, commonly used for diabetes management, has been noted for its neuroprotective properties, though its effects on CIRI and the mechanisms involved remain unclear. This study explored the neuroprotective impact of metformin on CIRI, focusing on its potential to modulate the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 MAP kinase (p38) signaling pathways.

Most plant transcriptomes constitute functional non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that lack the ability to encode proteins. In recent years, more research has demonstrated that ncRNAs play important regulatory roles in almost all plant biological processes by modulating gene expression. Thus, it is important to study the biogenesis and function of ncRNAs, particularly in plant growth and development and stress tolerance.

is a global pathogen that can cause leaf necrosis and seedling death, severely threatening the quality and yield of cabbage. However, the genome sequence and infection mechanisms of are still unclear. Here, we present the first whole-genome sequence of isolate BJ2020, which causes downy mildew in cabbage.

Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) lines are widely used breeding materials in cruciferous crops and play important roles in heterosis utilization; however, the sterility mechanism remains unclear. To investigate the microspore development process and gene expression changes after the introduction of and , cytological observation and transcriptome analysis were performed using a maintainer line, an Ogura CMS line, and a restorer line. Semithin sections of microspores at different developmental stages showed that the degradation of tapetal cells began at the tetrad stage in the Ogura CMS line, while it occurred at the bicellular microspore stage to the tricellular microspore stage in the maintainer and restorer lines.

Background: We aimed to explore the ole and mechanism of lactate receptor (HCAR1) in the angiogenesis of leptomeningeal fibroblast-like cells.

Methods: Human brain fibroblast-like cells were selected and some cells were deactivated, analyzed and compared with HCAR1 mRNA and protein expressions in deactivated/normal cells. HCAR1 mice and wild type (WT) mice were selected and divided into WT, WT exercise, HCAE1 KO and HCAE1 KO exercise groups, with 10 mice for each group.

By adaptively releasing deformation during machining, floating clamping significantly raises the machining quality of aircraft structural parts. The fundamental issue to be resolved is how to precisely control the clamping action of the floating fixtures. In this study, the machining process of aircraft beams was studied, utilizing the finite element method (FEM) from the perspective of strain energy evolution.

Hybrid production using lines with cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) has become an important way to utilize heterosis in vegetables. Ogura CMS, with the advantages of complete pollen abortion, ease of transfer and a progeny sterility rate reaching 100%, is widely used in cruciferous crop breeding. The mapping, cloning, mechanism and application of Ogura CMS and fertility restorer genes in , , and other cruciferous crops are reviewed herein, and the existing problems and future research directions in the application of Ogura CMS are discussed.

Background: This study aims to investigate the effect of PSMC2 expression on the clinical prognosis of glioma patients and its molecular mechanism.

Methods: TCGA multi-tumor screening and survival analysis were combined to explore the differential expression of PSMC2 in multi-tumor. PSMC2 expression in glioma and normal tissues was detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR.

The SWEET (sugars will eventually be exported transporter) family was identified as a new class of sugar transporters that function as bidirectional uniporters/facilitators and facilitate the diffusion of sugars across cell membranes along a concentration gradient. SWEETs are found widely in plants and play central roles in many biochemical processes, including the phloem loading of sugar for long-distance transport, pollen nutrition, nectar secretion, seed filling, fruit development, plant-pathogen interactions and responses to abiotic stress. This review focuses on advances of the plant SWEETs, including details about their discovery, characteristics of protein structure, evolution and physiological functions.

Ogura CMS is an alloplasmic male-sterile line introduced from radish by interspecific hybridization and protoplast fusion. The introduction of alien cytoplasm resulted in many undesirable traits, which affected the yield of hybrids. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the composition and reduce the content of alien cytoplasm in Ogura CMS.
