Lethal and sublethal concentrations spirodiclofen stress may increase the adaptation of (Acari: Tetranychidae).

is one of the most destructive pests in citrus orchards, exhibiting varying degrees of tolerance to numerous insecticides, such as spirodiclofen. To effectively manage pests, this study explores the response of to spirodiclofen stress from the perspectives of life history, enzymatic parameters, and reproduction. The effects of two concentrations (LC and LC) of spirodiclofen on the biological parameters of were evaluated by the life table method.

The change of cervical sagittal alignment after surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Objective: The postoperative change in cervical sagittal alignment has an impact on health-related quality of life in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients who have undergone deformity correction. However, the effect of deformity correction on sagittal cervical profile is still controversial in the literatures. The objective of this study was to investigate the postoperative change in the cervical sagittal alignment of patients with AIS.

Advanced oxidation protein products induce pre-osteoblast apoptosis through a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase-dependent, mitogen-activated protein kinases-mediated intrinsic apoptosis pathway.

Osteoblast apoptosis contributes to age-related bone loss. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are recognized as the markers of oxidative stress and potent inducers of apoptosis. We have demonstrated that AOPP accumulation was correlated with age-related bone loss.
