Acute NO Stress Shortens the Median Survival Period of 'Elizabeth Angus' by Disrupting Tissue Structure and Photosynthetic Response Centers.

The air pollutant NO is one of the major constraints on plant growth, and the ecological value of the ornamental plant can be weakened by NO. In this study, an indoor 4 μL·L NO simulated fumigation test was conducted with three treatments, CK (normal growth with clean air), T1 (4 μL·L NO + 8 h/d), and T2 (4 μL·L NO + 24 h/d), which were set up with considerations for time and concentration. The results demonstrated that most of the morphological parameters of 'Elizabeth Angus', except for the floral organs, were decreased in the root, stem, leaf, and bract.

Effect of different plant communities on NO in an urban road greenbelt in Nanjing, China.

As an important part of urban ecosystems, plants can reduce NO concentrations in the air. However, there is little evidence of the effects of different plant communities on NO concentrations in street-scale green spaces. We used a multifunctional lifting environmental detector to investigate the impact of environmental factors and small plant communities on NO concentrations in street green spaces during the summer and winter in Nanjing, China.

Complete chloroplast genome and phylogenetic relationship of Nymphaea nouchali (Nymphaeaceae), a rare species of water lily in China.

Nymphaea nouchali is a native species of Chinese water lily with important ornamental, economical, and medicinal purposes. However, due to the serious disturbance by alien biological invasion and human factors, N. nouchali is in an endangered state in China and urgently needs to be protected.

Comprehensive Transcriptome Analysis of Rare Plants under NO stress.

We evaluated a transcriptome using high-throughput Illumina HiSeq sequencing and related it to the morphology, leaf anatomy, and physiological parameters of under NO stress. The molecular mechanism of the NO stress response was evaluated using sequencing data. NO stress adversely affected the morphology, leaf anatomy, and total peroxidase (POD) activity.

Physiological and biochemical responses of two precious Carpinus species to high-concentration NO stress and their natural recovery.

Carpinus betulus and Carpinus putoensis are precious species in the world. Studies on the ecosystem function of the two species are rare. This study investigated the physiological and biochemical responses of C.

Peripheral blood soluble elastin and elastase as auxiliary diagnostic indicators for coronary artery ectasia.

Background/aim: Damage to elastin fibres in coronary media might lead to coronary artery ectasia (CAE). This study evaluated whether CAE can be distinguished by detecting circulating soluble elastin (s-elastin), which is a degradation product of elastin fibres, and elastase, which is the main enzyme of elastin fibres.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-eight patients with CAE, 58 with coronary heart disease (CHD) and 61 with relatively normal coronary arteries, were included.

EEG Assessment in a 2-Year-Old Child with Prolonged Disorders of Consciousness: 3 Years' Follow-up.

A 2-year-old girl, diagnosed with traumatic brain injury and epilepsy following car trauma, was followed up for 3 years (a total of 15 recordings taken at 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 19, 26, and 35 months). There is still no clear guidance on the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of children with disorders of consciousness. At each appointment, recordings included the child's height, weight, pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale (pGCS), Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R), Gesell Developmental Schedule, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalogram, frequency of seizures, oral antiepileptic drugs, stimulation with subject's own name (SON), and median nerve electrical stimulation (MNS).

Underlying factors relating to acute myocardial infarction for coronary artery ectasia patients.

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) patients were more prone to present with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), this case-control research aimed to explore the underlying factors relating AMI for them.This study investigated a serial of 119 patients who underwent coronary angiography and were diagnosed as CAE between the years 2016 and 2017 at the Beijing Friendship Hospital; 32 of the patients developed AMI and 87 did not develop AMI. The possible factors relating to AMI, including disease history, cardiovascular risk factors, thrombotic condition, inflammation status, and coronary imaging characteristics, were comprehensively compared between CAE patients with and without AMI.

Tolerance of fifteen hydroponic ornamental plant species to formaldehyde stress.

An indoor formaldehyde enriched environment was created by an automatic fumigation system with timing and concentration control.
