Article Synopsis
  • - The study used high-throughput sequencing to analyze how different plants (Lolium perenne, Trifolium repens, Vulpia myuros, and Vicia villosa) affect the soil microbial community in apple orchards compared to naturally growing grass.
  • - Results indicated that each plant type increased the abundance of certain beneficial microorganisms, while naturally growing grass led to a rise in pathogenic bacteria like Ralstonia.
  • - Correlation analysis found significant relationships between microbial abundance and soil properties, suggesting that planting Vicia villosa can enhance soil health by improving organic matter and nutrients in apple orchards.

Article Synopsis
  • MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and play essential roles in cancer development, such as in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • This study focused on miR-638, examining its expression in NSCLC cell lines and patient sera to evaluate its significance in predicting chemotherapy response and patient prognosis.
  • Key findings indicated that higher levels of miR-638 after chemotherapy correlated with better survival rates, suggesting it could serve as an independent prognostic marker for NSCLC patients.

In order to explore the effects of relative humidity (RH) on the population growth of summer fruit tortrix moth Adoxophyes orana, the development, survival, fecundity and longevity of A. orana were assessed at 6 different constant humidities (40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% and 90%), (25 +/- 1) degrees C and a photoperiod of 12L:12D in the laboratory. The results showed that immature developmental time was gradually shortened with the increasing humidity at 40%-90% RH, ranged from 30.

In order to gain better understanding of the oviposition preference of Grapholitha molesta, we studied the ovipositional preference on different host fruit leaves, different parts of peach bran- ches and different varieties of peach in simulated outdoor conditions. The adult ovipositional preference on the host fruit leaves was in descending order, i. e.

Primary Objective: Following stroke, hypothermia is reported to reduce both cellular and extracellular damage. This study aimed to examine the effects of focal mild hypothermia on proteins associated with both extracellular (matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of MMP-9 (TIMP-1)) and cellular damage (Tau-1 and β-amyloid precursor protein (β-APP)) to characterize the protective effects of hypothermia.

Methods And Procedures: Male Wistar rats received ischaemic damage using a transient, focal ischaemia/reperfusion model.
