Introduction: With its distinctive evolutionary rate and inheritance patterns separate from the nuclear genome, mitochondrial genome analysis has become a prominent focus of current research. Rolfe, a species of orchid with both medicinal and horticultural value, will benefit from the application of the fully assembled and annotated mitochondrial genome. This will aid in elucidating its phylogenetic relationships, comparative genomics, and population genetic diversity.

Purpose: Frailty is a state of heightened vulnerability to stress, whether from within the body or external factors. We aim to assess the prognostic value of the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) in middle-aged and older frail adults.

Methods: We used data from the 2003-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) linked to the 2019 National Death Index (NDI) to study mortality.

Background: Folate has an important role in the functioning of the musculoskeletal system, including modulation of inflammation, immunity, cartilage regeneration, prevention of osteoporosis, and maintenance of muscle strength, but evidence on the association between folate intake and knee pain, functional scores, and radiographic progression in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) is still limited.

Methodology: Our population-based cohort was extracted from the osteoarthritis initiative (OAI), focusing on individuals with prevalent radiographic knee OA (with a Kellgren-Lawrence score ≥2). Folate consumption was determined using the food frequency questionnaire.

Heavy metals' presence as environmental pollutants has a close link to adverse health effects. Frailty, a clinical syndrome hallmarked by elevated vulnerability to stressors, presents a substantial challenge in healthcare. However, the association between exposure to heavy metals and frailty largely remains unexplored.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers identified GRFs from two specific orchid species using bioinformatics tools and conducted analyses to study the evolution and functions of these genes.
  • * Findings revealed that the GRF gene family is classified into clades with conserved structures, indicating a complex evolutionary history, while also highlighting their roles in plant growth, stress responses, and development.

Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to elucidate the relationship between the zinc and iron intake and the advancement of subchondral sclerosis among patients with osteoarthritis (OA). The goal was to establish personalized, nutritionally-informed strategies designed to retard the progression of subchondral sclerosis and conserve joint structure.

Methods: For the purposes of this research, we derived data from the Bone Ancillary Study (BAS), a constituent study of the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI).

Background: Mitochondrial genomes are essential for deciphering the unique evolutionary history of seed plants. However, the rules of their extreme variation in genomic size, multi-chromosomal structure, and foreign sequences remain unresolved in most plant lineages, which further hindered the application of mitogenomes in phylogenetic analyses.

Results: Here, we took Dendrobium (Orchidaceae) which shows the great divergence of morphology and difficulty in species taxonomy as the study focus.

orchids, which are among the most well-known species of orchids, are appreciated for their aesthetic appeal across the globe. Furthermore, due to their strict living conditions, they have accumulated high levels of active ingredients, resulting not only in their medicinal value but also in their strong ability to respond to harsh environments. The gene family plays an important role in plant growth and development, and signal transduction.

Background: Osteoporosis is a major public health problem, yet the association between dietary folate intake and bone health has been rarely studied. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary folate intake and bone mineral density (BMD) in the general population of the USA.

Methods: Utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, dietary folate intake was gauged through 24-h dietary recall and BMD was determined via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.

Dendrobium orchids have multiple photosynthetic pathways, which can be used as a model system for studying the evolution of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). In this study, based on the results of the net photosynthetic rates (P), we classified Dendrobium species into three photosynthetic pathways, then employed and compared their chloroplast genomes. The Dendrobium chloroplast genomes have typical quartile structures, ranging from 150,841-153,038 bp.

Objectives: This study assessed the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity profiles of a denosumab biosimilar (LY06006) in Chinese postmenopausal osteoporotic women with a high risk of fracture.

Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial, 448 postmenopausal women aged 50-85 years with osteoporosis were enrolled at 49 centers in China and were randomly assigned (3:1) to receive 60 ​mg of the denosumab biosimilar (LY06006) or placebo subcutaneously every 6 months for 1 year. Lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) change was the primary endpoint.

Background: Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo, which contains rich polysaccharides, flavonoids and alkaloids, is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with important economic benefits, while various pathogens have brought huge losses to its industrialization. NBS gene family is the largest class of plant disease resistance (R) genes, proteins of which are widely distributed in the upstream and downstream of the plant immune systems and are responsible for receiving infection signals and regulating gene expression respectively. It is of great significance for the subsequent disease resistance breeding of D.

Objective: To identify and screen sensitive predictors associated with subscapularis (SSC) tendon tear and develop a web-based dynamic nomogram to assist clinicians in early identification and intervention of SSC tendon tear.

Methods: Between July 2016 and December 2021, 528 consecutive cases of patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopic surgery with completely MRI and clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Patients admitted between July 2016 and July 2019 were included in the training cohort, and patients admitted between August 2019 and December 2021 were included in the validation cohort.

Background: There are still some challenges in diagnosing subscapularis (SSC) tendon tears as accurately as posterosuperior rotator cuff tears on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The omission of SSC tendon tears can lead to muscle atrophy, fatty infiltration and increased tear accompanied by aggravated shoulder pain and loss of function. An effective noninvasive evaluation tool will be beneficial to early identification and intervention.
