Embryonic diapause due to high glucose is related to changes in glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, as well as abnormalities in the TCA cycle and amino acid metabolism.

Introduction: The adverse effects of high glucose on embryos can be traced to the preimplantation stage. This study aimed to observe the effect of high glucose on early-stage embryos.

Methods And Results: Seven-week-old ICR female mice were superovulated and mated, and the zygotes were collected.

gene enhances saline-alkali stress tolerance by promoting plant growth and regulating glutathione metabolism in .

The quality and yields of Sorghum bicolo r plants are seriously affected by saline-alkali conditions. NAC (NAM, ATAF, and CUC) transcription factors are plant specific and have various functions in plant development and response to various stresses. To investigate how GsNAC2 functions in sorghum responses to saline-alkali treatment, the characteristics of GsNAC2 were analysed by bioinformatics methods, and NaHCO3 :Na2 CO3 (5:1, 75mM, pH 9.

Correction to: Genome-wide identifcation and characterization of the C2 domain family in (L.) and expression profles in response to saline-alkali stress.

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1007/s12298-022-01222-3.].

Genome-wide identification and characterization of the C2 domain family in (L.) and expression profiles in response to saline-alkali stress.

Unlabelled: The C2 domain family proteins in plants has been recently shown to be involved in the response to abiotic stress such as salt and drought stress. However, less information on C2 domain family members has been reported in (L.), which is a tolerant cereal crop.

Curative efficacy of extract from Ganjiangdazao recipe on functional dyspepsia in rats.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the extract from Ganjiangdazao recipe (EGR) on functional dyspepsia in rats with spleen-stomach deficiency cold pattern (SSDCP) in terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and to investigate its pharmacodynamics.

Methods: Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the control group, SSDCP group, low-EGR SSDCP group, high-EGR SSDCP group, probiotics group, EGR group. SSDCP model was induced by gavage with the 0 ?edible vinegar.

Effects of Pulsatile Cupping on Body Pain and Quality of Life in People with Suboptimal Health:A Randomized Controlled Exploratory Trial.

The curative effect of pneumatic pulsatile cupping on pain has been shown. This study was conducted to investigate effects of the pulsating frequency of pneumatic pulsatile cupping, compared with traditional cupping (TC), on body pain and quality of life (QoL) in people with suboptimal health status (SHS). Ninety-six participants with SHS were randomized to low-frequency (LF;  = 24) or high-frequency (HF;  = 24) pulsating cupping, traditional cupping (TC;  = 24), or wait-list (WL;  = 24) groups.

An innovative method to evaluate the severe level of general Qi deficiency.

Objective: The study aim was to use existing relevant indexes to establish an index series for the quantitative measurement of Qi deficiency pattern (QDP) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Methods: Seventeen indexes of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), TCM pulse diagnosis, heart rate, and blood pressure were integrated into an index series, and 94 selected subjects were divided into a healthy control group, a mild QDP group, and a typical QDP group. All three groups were then synchronously given a breath-holding (BH) test and index detections using TCM apparatus for auxiliary diagnosis and treatment and a photoplethysmograph.

Application of Traditional Chinese Medicine Four-diagnostic auxiliary apparatus in evaluation of health status and clinical treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the application of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Four-diagnostic Auxiliary Apparatus in disease diagnosis.

Methods: The liver cancer patients and healthy controls were recruited from Shanghai Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital and Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, respectively. Then, the included subjects were diagnosed by the Four-diagnostic auxiliary apparatus.

A Quantitative Investigation of Pulse and Tongue Features in Post-Stroke Depressive Patients and Healthy Volunteers: An Observational Pilot Study.

Background: Depression is among the most common neuropsychiatric complications after stroke, having a negative impact on one's quality of life. A number of therapeutic modalities have been used for post-stroke depression (PSD) including traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, a lack of objectivity in TCM hampers further improvement in diagnosis and research, since TCM diagnosis is mainly based on subjective judgment of clinicians.
