First Report of Powdery Mildew on in China.

Cardamine violifolia, also called Cardamine hupingshanensis, is an economically important medicinal plant renowned for accumulating selenium (Guo et al., 2022). Selenium is an essential trace element with anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immune regulatory functions.

A phase I trial of autologous RAK cell immunotherapy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Background: Treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) remains a challenge worldwide. Here, we introduced a phase I trial of autologous RAK cell therapy in patients with mRCC whose cancers progressed after prior systemic therapy. Although RAK cells have been used in clinic for many years, there has been no dose-escalation study to demonstrate its safety and efficacy.

Interleukin-17 and ischaemic stroke.

Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a cytokine family that includes 6 members, IL-17A through IL-17F, most of them are reported to have pro-inflammatory role. Through binding to their receptors (IL-17Rs), IL-17 activates the intracellular signalling pathways to play an important role in autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Ischaemic stroke is a complex pathophysiological process mainly caused by regional cerebral ischaemia.

Solution-Processed CuS as a Hole Transport Layer for Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells.

Organic-inorganic perovskite solar cells have seen tremendous developments in recent years. As a hole transport material, 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis( N, N-di- p-methoxyphenylamine)-9,9'-spirobifluorene (Spiro-OMeTAD) is widely used in n-i-p perovskite solar cells. However, it may lead to the perovskite film degradation due to the dopant lithium bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)amide (Li-TFSI), which has strong hydrophilicity.

Paraquat and MPTP induce alteration in the expression profile of long noncoding RNAs in the substantia nigra of mice: Role of the transcription factor Nrf2.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common age-related degenerative disease of the central nervous system caused mainly by hereditary, pesticides, metals, and polychlorinated biphenyls. Paraquat (PQ), a widely used herbicide, causes PD. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are nonprotein-coding transcripts, expressed in the brain and play irreplaceable roles in neurodegenerative diseases.

The Dawn of Lead-Free Perovskite Solar Cell: Highly Stable Double Perovskite CsAgBiBr Film.

Recently, lead-free double perovskites have emerged as a promising environmentally friendly photovoltaic material for their intrinsic thermodynamic stability, appropriate bandgaps, small carrier effective masses, and low exciton binding energies. However, currently no solar cell based on these double perovskites has been reported, due to the challenge in film processing. Herein, a first lead-free double perovskite planar heterojunction solar cell with a high quality CsAgBiBr film, fabricated by low-pressure assisted solution processing under ambient conditions, is reported.

Rapid Access to 2-Methylene Tetrahydrofurans and γ-Lactones: A Tandem Four-Step Process.

A one-pot tandem process involving hydrolysis, Knoevenagel condensation, Michael addition, and Conia-ene (HKMC) reactions has been developed for the rapid synthesis of indanone-fused 2-methylene tetrahydrofurans from the reaction of enynals and propynols. In this process, two rings and four bonds are generated with 100 % atom-economy and high step-efficiency. The resulting tetrahydrofurans were readily oxidized into α-methylene γ-lactones, which are one of the most important substructures in natural and bioactive compounds.

[A study of sub-healthy status of community residents and its relevant factors in Fuzhou City].

Objective: To evaluate the sub-healthy status of community residents and its main relevant factors.

Methods: The proportional stratified random sampling was selected to take the sample of 5000 community residents from two communities in Fujian province. The sub-healthy status and its main influence factors were measured with the method of physical examination and questionnaire.

Synergistic Catalysis: Metal/Proton-Catalyzed Cyclization of Alkynones Toward Bicyclo[3.n.1]alkanones.

A highly efficient and practical synergistically metal/proton-catalyzed Conia-ene reaction for the synthesis of bicyclo[3.n.1]alkanones has been developed.

Production and anti-diabetic activity of soluble dietary fiber from apricot pulp by Trichoderma viride fermentation.

Soluble dietary fiber (SDF) was prepared by Trichoderma viride fermentation by using apricot pulp as the raw material. A four-factor and three-level response surface methodology was applied to optimize the fermentation conditions affecting the extraction rate of SDF. The optimum fermentation conditions were listed: crude enzyme volume, 9.

Comparison of physical properties of regenerated cellulose films fabricated with different cellulose feedstocks in ionic liquid.

With the serious "white pollution" resulted from the non-biodegradable plastic films, considerable attention has been directed toward the development of renewable and biodegradable cellulose-based film materials as substitutes of petroleum-derived materials. In this study, environmentally friendly cellulose films were successfully prepared using different celluloses (pine, cotton, bamboo, MCC) as raw materials and ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate as a solvent. The SEM and AFM indicated that all cellulose films displayed a homogeneous and smooth surface.

A study on workplace violence and its effect on quality of life among medical professionals in China.

The present study was conducted to investigate workplace violence and to examine how it is associated with quality of life (QOL) among medical professionals in China. A total of 2,464 medical professionals were selected from Fujian Province and Henan Province by using stratified cluster-sampling method. A Chinese version of the workplace violence scale was used to measure the incidence of workplace violence.

Experimental study on transient behavior of semi-open two-phase thermosyphon.

An experimental system was set up to measure the temperature, pressure, heat transfer rate and mass flow rate in a semi-open two-phase thermosyphon. The behaviors of a semi-open two-phase thermosyphon during startup, shutdown and lack of water were studied to get complete understanding of its thermal characteristics. The variation of wall temperature, heat-exchange condition and pressure fluctuations of semi-open two-phase thermosyphons showed that the startup of SOTPT needs about 60-70 min; the startup speed of SOTPT is determined by the startup speed of the condensation section; the average pressure in the heat pipe is equal to the environmental pressure usually; the shutdown of SOTPT needs about 30-50 min; a semi-open two-phase thermosyphon has good response to lack of water accident.
