Value of near-infrared spectroscopy in evaluating the risk of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Recently, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been proposed for diagnosing patients with neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). However, a consensus on the credibility of NIRS in evaluating NEC risk has not been reached. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the relationship between NEC and splanchnic regional tissue oxygen saturation (SrSO) and cerebral regional tissue oxygen saturation (CrSO) detected by NIRS to clarify the clinical value of NIRS in evaluating the risk of NEC.

Seizures and electrophysiological features in familial cortical myoclonic tremor with epilepsy 1.

Objectives: To investigate and characterize epileptic seizures and electrophysiological features of familial cortical myoclonic tremor with epilepsy (FCMTE) type 1 patients in a large Chinese cohort.

Methods: We systematically evaluated 125 FCMTEtype 1 patients carrying the pentanucleotide (TTTCA) repeat expansion in the SAMD12 gene in China.

Results: Among the 28 probands, epileptic seizures (96.

Variability in CitXET expression and XET activity in Citrus cultivar Huangguogan seedlings with differed degrees of etiolation.

Considering the known effects of xyloglucan endotransglycosylase (XET) on plant growth and development, we aimed to determine whether XETs help to regulate the growth and elongation of Huangguogan shoots and roots. We confirmed a possible role for XET during seedling etiolation. Our results revealed that the roots of etiolated seedlings (H-E) were longer than those of green seedlings (H-G).

Transcriptome Analyses of Two Citrus Cultivars (Shiranuhi and Huangguogan) in Seedling Etiolation.

Citrus species are among the most important fruit crops. However, gene regulation and signaling pathways related to etiolation in this crop remain unknown. Using Illumina sequencing technology, modification of global gene expression in two hybrid citrus cultivars-Huangguogan and Shiranuhi, respectively-were investigated.
