Plasmopara viticola effector PvCRN20 represses the import of VvDEG5 into chloroplasts to suppress immunity in grapevine.

Chloroplasts play a crucial role in plant defense against pathogens, making them primary targets for pathogen effectors that suppress host immunity. This study characterizes the Plasmopara viticola CRN-like effector, PvCRN20, which interacts with DEG5 in the cytoplasm but not with its interacting protein, DEG8, which is located in the chloroplast. By transiently overexpressing in tobacco leaves, we show that PvCRN20 could inhibit INF1- and Bax-triggered cell death.

One-Stage Arthroscopic Multiple Ligament Reconstruction for Schenck IV Knee Dislocation.

Purpose: Schenck IV knee dislocation patients have dissatisfactory knee function and return-to-sport rate with the existing treatment methods. The purpose of this study was to illustrate a one-stage arthroscopic multiple ligament reconstruction method for treating Schenck IV knee dislocations.

Methods: A retrospective case series study was performed.

Reconstruction of Bony Defects after Tumor Resection with 3D-Printed Anatomically Conforming Pelvic Prostheses through a Novel Treatment Strategy.

There has been an increasing interest and enormous applications in three-dimensional (3D) printing technology and its prosthesis, driving many orthopaedic surgeons to solve the difficult problem of bony defects and explore new ways in surgery approach. However, the most urgent problem is without an effective prosthesis and standard treatment strategy. In order to resolve these problems, this study was performed to explore the use of a 3D-printed anatomically conforming pelvic prosthesis for bony defect reconstruction following tumor resection and to describe a detailed treatment flowchart and the selection of a surgical approach.
