A pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency causes a reduction in adenosine triphosphate production and energy insufficiency, leading to neurological disorders. An abnormal E1-alpha protein originating from the gene with pathogenic variants is unable to communicate with E1-beta for the formation of the E1 enzyme, decreasing pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity. In this study, we report a Vietnamese boy with lethargy, severe metabolic acidosis, increased serum lactate, hyperalaninemia, lactic acidosis, and globus pallidus lesions.

The resulting nanocomposite, AuNPs@GluN/Alg, underwent thorough characterization using UV-vis, EDX, FTIR, SEM, TEM, SAED, and XRD analyses. The spherical AuNPs exhibited uniform size with an average diameter of 10.

Chicken bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (cbMSCs) is a good candidate for co-culture with PGCs. However, there is no consensus on the optimal age of donors.

The ZnO/FeO hybrid was fabricated using a mechanical mixture of two different ZnO : FeO weight ratios to investigate the effect of weight ratio on catalytic properties. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that ZnO nanoplates (NPls) are about 20 nm thick with lateral dimensions of 100 × 200 nm, and FeO nanospindles (NSs) are about 500 nm long and 50 nm wide.

However, data on the molecular characterization of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in Vietnam are limited. This study aimed to identify the molecular characteristics of NDV strains from the vaccinated chickens farmed in Northern Vietnam.

Strain DM10 exhibited the ability to solubilize phosphate, produce siderophore, show 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase activity, and hydrolyze starch. The rice plants subjected to a treatment of NaCl (200 mM) and inoculated with strain DM10 showed an improvement in the shoot length, root length, and dried weight, when compared to those exposed solely to saline treatment.

Soil salinization hinders seedling growth and decreases crop yield by inducing ionic and osmotic imbalances, photosynthesis disturbances, cell wall alterations, and gene expression inhibition. Plants have developed a range of defense mechanisms to adapt to salt stress.

The point cloud data of both epochs are merged for computing features of four types: features describing the point distribution, a feature relating to relative terrain elevation, features specific for the multi-target capability of laser scanning, and features combining the point clouds of both epochs to identify the change.
