Pustule formation is pivotal for the development of the Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc)-induced citrus canker disease (CCD). Although our previous study demonstrated that the exogenous application of abscisic acid (ABA) facilitated pustule formation induced by Xcc, the precise mechanism remains elusive.

Primary cilia detect and transmit environmental signals into cells. Primary cilia are absent in a subset of ductal carcinomas characterized by distinctive biological activities, and recovery of cilia with normal functionality has been shown to have therapeutic potential in some cancer types. Therefore, elucidation of the underlying mechanism and clinical significance of ciliary loss in ductal carcinomas could help develop effective treatment strategies.

Understanding the mechanisms by which weeds develop herbicide resistance is crucial for managing resistance effectively and optimizing herbicide use. Beckmannia syzigachne, a harmful grass weed prevalent in wheat and rice-wheat rotation areas, poses a significant threat to crop productivity. A field herbicide resistance survey identified a resistant population with a new ALS mutation (Asp-376-Glu).

CF-containing compounds hold significant potential in drug discovery, organic synthesis, and materials science. However, synthesizing various CF-containing building blocks from a single compound remains challenging. Here, we present a Cu-catalyzed, switchable defluoroborylation and hydrodefluorination of trifluoromethylated alkynes, yielding four types of CF-containing compounds.

Massive hemorrhage caused by injuries and surgical procedures is a major challenge in emergency medical scenarios. Conventional means of hemostasis often fail to rapidly and efficiently control bleeding, especially in inaccessible locations. Herein, a type of smart nanoliposome with ultrasonic responsiveness, loaded with thrombin (thrombin@liposome, named TNL) was developed to serve as an efficient and rapid hemostatic agent.

Objective: To investigate the level of screen time and gross motor movement level and the correlation between them in left-behind children aged 3 to 6 years old in China.

Methods: A randomized whole-group sampling method was used to study 817 left-behind children aged 3-6 years in 15 kindergartens in Xiangcheng city, Henan province. The third version of the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-3) was used to test the children's gross motor movement level, and the screen time questionnaire was used to test the children's screen time level.

The role of PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNA) in small extracellular vesicles (sEV) derived from pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNEN) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) remains unexplored. We used multiplex IHC to analyze the expression of CD68, CD276 (B7H3), and CD3 on PNEN. CD276+ tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) were more abundant in tumor tissues than nontumor tissues and negatively correlated with T-cell infiltration.

Rapid and accurate identification and timely protection of crop disease is of great importance for ensuring crop yields. Aiming at the problems of large model parameters of existing crop disease recognition methods and low recognition accuracy in the complex background of the field, we propose a lightweight crop leaf disease recognition model based on improved ShuffleNetV2. First, the repetition number and the number of output channels of the basic module of the ShuffleNetV2 model are redesigned to reduce the model parameters to make the model more lightweight while ensuring the accuracy of the model.

Inhibition of the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction through small-molecule inhibitors is a promising therapeutic approach in cancer immunotherapy. Herein, we utilized as the lead compound to develop a series of novel PD-1/PD-L1 small-molecule inhibitors with a naphthyridin scaffold. Among these compounds, displayed the most potent inhibitory activity for the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction (IC = 15.

The threats of air pollution to human health have been gradually discovered, including its effects on eyes. The purpose of the study is to investigate the potential correlation between ocular surface exposure to black carbon and ocular surface structural damage as well as tear film dysfunction. To achieve this goal, 60 6-8-week-aged male BALB/C mice were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 15).

The growing demand for pesticide manufacturing and increasing public awareness of sustainable development, have let to urgent requirements for a refined environmental management framework. It is imperative to conduct process-based life cycle assessments (LCAs) to promote clean and environment-friendly technologies. Herein, the cradle-to-gate LCA of glyphosate production was executed as an example to investigate crucial production factors (materials or energy) and multiple environmental impacts during the production processes.

Myopia, one of the most prevalent ocular diseases worldwide, is projected to affect nearly half of the global population by 2050. The main cause of myopia in most patients is axial myopia, which primarily occurs due to the elongation of the eyeball, driven by changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of scleral cells. Previous studies have shown that NLRP3, an important inflammatory mediator, plays a critical role in regulating the expression of MMP-2 in the sclera.
