Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has affected the whole world. Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) has been reported after administration of mRNA- or adenoviral vector-based COVID-19 vaccines, including Ad26.COV2-S, BNT162b2, mRNA-1273, and ChAdOx1 nCov-19.

The most common kind of acute leukemia in adults is acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is often treated with induction chemotherapy regimens followed by consolidation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, some patients continue to develop relapsed or refractory AML (R/R-AML). Small molecular targeted drugs require long-time administration.

As one of the most promising electrochromic (EC) materials, tungsten trioxide (WO) has attracted great attention due to its exceptional EC characteristics. This review summarizes the background and general concept of EC devices, and key criteria for evaluation of WO-based EC materials.

The subcellular events occurring in cells of legume plants as they form transcellular symbiotic-infection structures have been compared with those occurring in premitotic cells. Here, we demonstrate that Aurora kinase 1 (AUR1), a highly conserved mitotic regulator, is required for intracellular infection by rhizobia in . AUR1 interacts with microtubule-associated proteins of the TPXL and MAP65 families, which, respectively, activate and are phosphorylated by AUR1, and localizes with them within preinfection structures.

Rationale: POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M protein, and skin changes) syndrome is a rare and complicated disease related to multiple organs and systems. Here, we report a case of systemic mastocytosis (SM) that was misdiagnosed as a POEMS syndrome.
Patient Concerns: A 42-year-old man presented with skin changes, diarrhea, and limb numbness.
Leghemoglobins enable the endosymbiotic fixation of molecular nitrogen (N) in legume nodules by channeling O for bacterial respiration while maintaining a micro-oxic environment to protect O-sensitive nitrogenase. We found that the NIN-like protein (NLP) transcription factors NLP2 and NIN directly activate the expression of leghemoglobins through a promoter motif, resembling a “double” version of the nitrate-responsive elements (NREs) targeted by other NLPs, that has conserved orientation and position across legumes. CRISPR knockout of the NRE-like element resulted in strongly decreased expression of the associated leghemoglobin.

It typically relies on fluorescent reporters, such as DsRed, for identification of transgenic roots. The MtLAP1 transcription factor has been utilized as a reporter system in based on production of anthocyanin pigment.

Several studies comparing Haplo-SCT and MUD-SCT have reported inconsistent clinical outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary to synthesize the existing evidence regarding outcomes of stem cell transplantations comparing Haplo-SCT with MUD-SCT.

In this paper, disulfonic-functionalized acidic ionic liquids (DSFAILs) were synthesized successfully, including novel SOH-functionalized binuclear IL (bis[3-(CH)SOH-1-(CH)-Im][HSO]). For the biodiesel synthesis, compared with the traditional ILs catalysts, DSFAILs bis[(3-(CH)SOH-1-(CH)-Im][HSO], [Im(N (CH)SOH)][HSO]) had higher catalytic activity even under mild reaction conditions.

Our root hair transcriptomic study extends NIN's regulon to include and genes involved in cell wall modification, gibberellin biosynthesis, and a comprehensive group of nutrient (N, P, and S) uptake and assimilation genes, suggesting that NIN's recruitment to nodulation was based on its role as a growth module, a role shared with other NIN-Like Proteins. The expression of jasmonic acid genes in suggests the involvement of NIN in the resolution of growth versus defense outcomes.

We conducted hydroponic experiments using two wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars, Zaoyangmai (low N sensitive) and Yangmai158 (low N tolerant), with either 0.25 mM N as a low N (LN) treatment or 5 mM N as a control.

However, this can lead to low-N stress. Previous studies on low N have not explored the unique adjustment strategy to N deficiency in the short term, which is important for developing long-term N deficiency tolerance.

In this study, we evaluated the effect of heat priming applied during the stem-elongation stage, booting and anthesis, followed by 5 days of severe heat stress (a 7.86°C rise in temperature) during the grain-filling stage on physiological activities and grain yield of winter wheat in pot experiments during the 2015-2017 growing seasons using the winter wheat cultivars Yangmai 18 (a vernal type) and Yannong 19 (a facultative type).

This study was aimed to investigate the normalization of serum free light chain ratio (sPLCR) after treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) and its influence on the prognosis of MM patients. The clinical data of 42 patients with MM were analyzed retrospectively from January 2009 to November 2013 in out department. According to sPLCR consecutive normalization for more 4 weeks or not after treatment, the patients were classified in patients with mormalized sPLCR and patients with abnormalized sPLCR, then the influence of traditional prognostic factors of MM on sPLCR and effect of sPLCR on overall survival (OS) time of MM patients were analyzed.
