Genome-Wide Analysis of WUSCHEL-Related Homeobox Gene Family in Sacred Lotus ().

WUSCHEL-related homeobox (WOX) is a plant-specific transcription factor (TF), which plays an essential role in the regulation of plant growth, development, and abiotic stress responses. However, little information is available on the specific roles of WOX TFs in sacred lotus (), which is a perennial aquatic plant with important edible, ornamental, and medicinal values. We identified 15 WOX TFs distributing on six chromosomes in the genome of .

[Analysis of 21 autopsy cases of aortic dissection with disputes].

Objective: To explore procedures and methods of forensic investigation for the death cases of aortic dissection with disputes.

Methods: Twenty-one death cases of aortic dissection with disputes from 2006 to 2011 were collected. All the data were analyzed to investigate the reasons and features of the disputes.

[Judicial appraisal of 24 cases of medical tangles involving patient's death].

Objective: To explore the cause of mistakes in medical tangles involving patient's death, and to analyze its key points in judicial appraisal.

Methods: Total 24 cases involving patient's death and multiple identifications were respectively analyzed and summarized based on common situations, distribution of departments, degree of responsibility and mistake analysis.

Results: It was showed that those medical tangles mostly originated from technical aspects, such as neglecting of latent symptoms, oversimplified management in clinical reception, poor cooperation between departments, and hesitation in confronting unexpected emergencies.

[Application of multi-slice computed tomography in biomechanical analysis of traffic accidents].

Objective: To study the application value of multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) and 3D reconstruction in biomechanical analysis of traffic accidents in forensic medicine.

Methods: Based on a real case, the tomoscan images were obtained from a corpse by MSCT scanning. The 3D images were reconstructed.
