Surface tyre imprints caused by a motorcycle collision rather than by being run over.

Tyre imprints on the skin are usually considered to be the result of being run over by a motor vehicle. This article reports a traffic accident in which tyre marks on the victim's skin were caused by a collision rather than by being run over. The mechanism of the injury in this case is analysed and discussed.

AUF1 modulates TGF-β signal in renal tubular epithelial cells via post-transcriptional regulation of Nedd4L expression.

Posttranscriptional regulation process plays important roles in renal disease pathogenesis. AU-rich element RNA-binding protein (AUF1) interacts with and destabilizes mRNAs containing AU-rich elements (AREs) in their 3'UTR. The current study demonstrated that AUF1 was increased in unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) animal models.

[Impact of tillage and nutrient management practices on the spring weed community in a winter wheat-summer maize rotation farmland].

Conservation tillage and the weed diversity are two hot issues in the modern ecological agriculture. Although it is known that the diversity of weed would increase slightly in the farmland under conservation tillage, the interaction effects between the tillage and the nutrient management on the weed community are not clear. In this study, one wheat-maize rotation field located in Ji'nan, Shandong Province, was selected as the studying site.
