Chromosome-level genome assembly of the flower thrips Frankliniella intonsa.

As an economically important insect pest, the flower thrips Frankliniella intonsa (Trybom) causes great damage to host plants by directly feeding and indirectly transmitting various pathogenic viruses. The lack of a well-assembled genomic resource has hindered our understanding of the genetic basis and evolution of F. intonsa.

Complete De Novo Assembly of Endosymbiont of .

As an endosymbiont, exerts significant effects on the host, including on reproduction, immunity, and metabolism. However, the study of in Thysanopteran insects, such as flower thrips , remains limited. Here, we assembled a gap-free looped genome assembly of strain FI in a length of 1,463,884 bp (GC content 33.

The Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly of Bean Blossom Thrips () Reveals an Expansion of Protein Digestion-Related Genes in Adaption to High-Protein Host Plants.

(Bagnall) is a destructive pest of legumes, such as cowpea. The biology, population dynamics and control strategies of this pest have been well studied. However, the lack of a high-quality reference genome for has hindered the understanding of key biological questions, such as the mechanism of adaptation to feed preferentially on high-protein host plants and the resistance to proteinase inhibitors (PIs).

[Analysis of characteristics of the location of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis and the site of pulmonary embolism in hospitalized patients].

Objective: To investigate the characteristics and relationship between the location of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and the site of pulmonary embolism in hospitalized patients.

Methods: The data of patients with lower extremity DVT diagnosed by ultrasound examination and pulmonary embolism diagnosed by CT pulmonary angiography from December 2017 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the location of lower extremity DVT, the patients were divided into mixed DVT, proximal DVT, and distal DVT which was further divided into anterior/posterior tibial vein or peroneal vein thrombosis and calf muscular venous thrombosis.

METTL3-Mediated N6-Methyladenosine Methylation Modifies Foxp3 mRNA Levels and Affects the Treg Cells Proportion in Peripheral Blood of Patients with Asthma.

Objective: To investigate the regulatory effect and mechanism of methyltransferase-like protein 3 (METTL3)-mediated N6-methyladenosine methylation (m6A) on forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3) levels and the proportion of regulatory T (Treg) cells in the peripheral blood of patients with asthma.

Methods: Flow cytometry and ELISA were used to detect the differences in the proportions of Treg cells and serum interleukins (ILs) 4 and 7, respectively, in the peripheral blood between healthy individuals and patients with different asthma conditions. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels, respectively, of METTL3 and Foxp3 in CD4 T cells in the peripheral blood samples of different groups.

Rare imaging findings of hypersensitivity pneumonitis: A case report.

Background: Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immune-mediated syndrome caused by allergen inhalation. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of HP may show diffuse ground-glass opacity, centrilobular ground-glass nodules, areas of air-trapping, thin-walled cysts, or fibrotic changes.

Case Summary: A 47-year-old male patient went to the hospital complaining of cough and gradual aggravation of shortness of breath.

Comparison of efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy and thoracoscopic surgery in the treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.

Purpose: To observe and compare the efficacy and safety between stereotactic body radiotherapy and thoracoscopic surgery in the treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: The clinical data of 106 early-stage NSCLC patients admitted to the Thoracic Surgery Department of the hospital from February 2014 to February 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Among these patients, 53 received stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT group), and 53 underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS group).

MicroRNA-145 influences the balance of Th1/Th2 via regulating RUNX3 in asthma patients.

Aim Of The Study: To delineate the underlying mechanism of microRNA-145 modulate the balance of Th1/Th2 via targeting RUNX3 in asthma patients.

Materials And Methods: Peripheral blood samples were collected from asthma patients and healthy controls. CD4 T cells were isolated and cultured.

[Effect of dust aerosol exposure on lung function and lung histopathology in rats].

Objective: To investigate the effect of dust aerosol exposure on lung function and lung histopathology in rats.

Methods: According to random number table method, 120 Wistar male rats were divided into untreated control group, treated control group and experimental group, with 40 rats in each group. Experimental group were exposed to the wind tunnel simulation of sandstorm for 5 hours in every day; the untreated control group were put in the standard living environment next to the wind tunnel; the treated control group were exposed to the same wind tunnel simulation of sandstorm for 5 hours in every day, and the speed of wind was the same as the experimental group, but excluding dust.
