Non-heading Chinese cabbage (NHCC) is an important vegetable, and its leaves are harvested for consumption. Thus, the initiation and progression of leaf senescence in NHCC directly impact its yield and quality. In multiple plant species, NAC transcription factors are known to act as critical regulators of leaf senescence.

Microplastic (MP) pollution has become one of global concern. While MP pollution in lakes has been well studied, research on MP sources, distribution, and ecological risks in the Tibetan Plateau is limited. We systematically investigated the MP abundance and distribution in alpine travertine lakes in Jiuzhai nature reserve located in east edge of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and assessed the distributions of microbiomes, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and virulence factor genes (VFGs) in water, sediments, and MPs, using macrogenomics.

Ischemic stroke can cause damage to neurons, resulting in neurological dysfunction. The main treatments in the acute phase include intravenous thrombolysis, endovascular stent-assisted vascular thrombectomy and antiplatelet therapy. Due to the limitations of the time window and the risk of early intracranial hemorrhage, finding active treatment plans is crucial for improving therapy.

To investigate the safety and short-term effectiveness of laparoscopic-assisted cardiectomy with side-overlap esophagogastric reconstruction for the treatment of terminal or end-stage achalasia, patients with end-stage achalasia treated with laparoscopic-assisted cardiectomy with side-overlap esophagogastric reconstruction were retrospectively enrolled. The clinical data, surgical data and follow-up were analyzed. Among twenty-five patients enrolled, the achalasia type St was present in 12 (48%) patients, type Sg in 9 (36%), and type aSg in 4 (16%).

The intentional manipulation of carrier characteristics serves as a fundamental principle underlying various energy-related and optoelectronic semiconductor technologies. However, achieving switchable and reversible control of the polarity within a single material to design optimized devices remains a significant challenge. Herein, we successfully achieved dramatic reversible p-n switching during the semiconductor‒semiconductor phase transition in BiI via pressure, accompanied by a substantial improvement in their photoelectric properties.

Background: Meniscus extrusion occurs in most elderly individuals and most patients after meniscus allograft transplantation. The risk factors and correlative factors of meniscus extrusion have been extensively studied. However, for using tendon autograft for meniscus reconstruction, both graft type and surgical method are different from those in previous studies on meniscus extrusion.

Magnesium (Mg) alloy scaffolds demonstrate promising potential for clinical applications in the repair of segmental bone defects. However, the specific mechanisms of osteoconduction and osteoinduction facilitated by these scaffolds themselves during the bone reconstruction process remain inadequately defined. This investigation systematically assesses the properties of MAO-coated Mg base implants both in vitro and in vivo.

Factor XIa (FXIa) has emerged as a novel anticoagulant target with a reduced risk of bleeding. However, due to the nearly identical residues it shares with its closest homologue, plasma kallikrein (PKa), only a few selective FXIa inhibitors have been reported. Herein, we describe the discovery of novel triazole-based pyridone derivatives as potent and selective FXIa inhibitors.

Constructing donor-acceptor structures in polymeric carbon nitride (CN) provides an attractive pathway for facilitating charge carrier separation in photocatalytic reactions. However, achieving the implantation of donor or acceptor moieties at molecule level precision remains challenging. Here we develop a three-dimensional (3D) porous thiophene implanted carbon nitride (TCN) with donor-acceptor structure via a supramolecular assembly strategy.

Article Synopsis
  • Peripheral nerve injury leads to significant disabilities, and current research has mainly focused on specific injury sites rather than the entire nervous system and associated organs, limiting therapeutic options.
  • The paper highlights the complex biological responses following such injuries, including neuronal death, nerve regeneration, and damage to target organs like muscles, indicating the need for a comprehensive understanding of the condition's effects.
  • Current treatments, which are mostly passive, are insufficient for full recovery, suggesting that a combination of both traditional and innovative therapies is necessary for better long-term functional outcomes.

Analyzing electroencephalogram (EEG) signals to detect the epileptic seizure status of a subject presents a challenge to existing technologies aimed at providing timely and efficient diagnosis. In this study, we aimed to detect interictal and ictal periods of epileptic seizures using a spiking neural network (SNN). Our proposed approach provides an online and real-time preliminary diagnosis of epileptic seizures and helps to detect possible pathological conditions.

The environmental pollution problem caused by azo dyes urgently needs to be solved. FeO@SiO/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes were prepared via an electrostatic spinning process. By blending the prepared FeO@SiO nanoparticles with PVA, a uniform distribution of FeO@SiO nanoparticles within the fibers was achieved, effectively preventing the aggregation of the nanoparticles and demonstrating excellent adsorption performance toward the azo anionic dye methyl orange (MO).
