Role of long non-coding RNA in regulatory network response to Liberibacter asiaticus in citrus.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve as crucial regulators in plant response to various diseases, while none have been systematically identified and characterized in response to citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) caused by Liberibacter asiaticus (Las) bacteria. Here, we comprehensively investigated the transcriptional and regulatory dynamics of the lncRNAs in response to L. Samples were collected from leaf midribs of Las- and mock-inoculated HLB-tolerant rough lemon () and HLB-sensitive sweet orange () at week 0, 7, 17, and 34 following inoculation using Las+ budwood of three biological replicates in the greenhouse.

Systematic review: preoperative psychological factors and total hip arthroplasty outcomes.

Background: Total hip arthroplasties (THA) are cost-effective interventions for patients with osteoarthritis refractory to physical therapy or medical management. Most individuals report positive surgical outcomes with reduction in pain and improved joint function. Multiple recent studies demonstrated the influence of patient mental health on surgical success.

Radiographic Appearance of Cosmetic Gluteal Injections in a Patient With Proximal Hamstring Tear: A Case Report.

Case: A 45-year-old woman presented 6 months after a right proximal hamstring repair with worsening pain over her surgical site. Anterior-posterior pelvis x-rays revealed bilateral soft-tissue densities around the hips. Extensive workup revealed no medical basis for the radiographic appearance.

Deferoxamine: An Angiogenic and Antioxidant Molecule for Tissue Regeneration.

Deferoxamine (DFO) has been in use for half a century as a Food and Drug Administration-approved iron chelator, but recent studies indicate a variety of properties that could expand this drug's application into the fields of tissue and regenerative engineering. DFO has been implicated as an angiogenic agent in studies on ischemia, wound healing, and bone regeneration because of its ability to upregulate hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) and other key downstream angiogenic factors. DFO has also demonstrated antioxidant capabilities unrelated to its iron-chelating properties, making it a potential modulator of the oxidative stress involved in the inflammation response.
