First Report of Causing Fruit Rot on Fig in China.

Fig (Ficus carica L.) holds economic significance in Atushi, Xinjiang, but as fig cultivation expands, disease prevalence has risen. In July 2024, approximately 22% of harvested fig (cv.

Predictive Value of Albumin to Fibrinogen Ratio and CALLY Index for Diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis and Mucosal Healing After Vedolizumab Treatment.

Purpose: The albumin to fibrinogen ratio (AFR), a biomarker associated with inflammatory, nutritional, and coagulation status, and the CALLY index, a biomarker combining C-reactive protein, albumin, and lymphocyte count, have been suggested to correlate with prognosis in a variety of diseases in previous studies; however, studies of these two markers in ulcerative colitis (UC) are lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical significance of AFR and CALLY index in UC.

Methods: The study included 109 UC patients and 126 healthy controls.

Interferon Inhibitors Increase rAAV Production in HEK293 Cells.

Recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) comprise a promising viral vector for therapeutic gene delivery to treat disease. However, the current manufacturing capability of rAAVs must be improved to meet commercial demand. Previously published omics studies indicate that rAAV production through transient transfection triggers antiviral responses and endoplasmic reticulum stress responses in the host cell.

Molecular dynamic simulation study on the influence of heating rate on the thermal decomposition process of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB).

To clarify the effect of heating rate on the thermal decomposition process of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB), this study employs molecular dynamic simulations to investigate the thermal decomposition of TATB at heating rates of 20, 40, 60, and 80 K/ps. The initial temperature is uniformly set to 300 K, while the final temperature is set to 3000 K. Results indicate that within the temperature range of 300-3000 K, the thermal decomposition rate of TATB decreases with increasing heating rate, whereas the initial decomposition temperature of TATB increases, consistent with the experimental pattern.

Improving 10-year cardiovascular risk prediction in patients with type 2 diabetes with metabolomics.

Background: Existing cardiovascular risk prediction models still have room for improvement in patients with type 2 diabetes who represent a high-risk population. This study evaluated whether adding metabolomic biomarkers could enhance the 10-year prediction of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in these patients.

Methods: Data from 10,257 to 1,039 patients with type 2 diabetes from the UK Biobank (UKB) and the German ESTHER cohort, respectively, were used for model derivation, internal and external validation.
