PIEZO1 activation enhances myogenesis and mitigates muscle degeneration in rotator cuff tear.

Muscle degeneration is a common issue caused by rotator cuff tear (RCT) which significantly affects prognosis. Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) play a crucial role to prevent muscle degeneration after RCT. However, the pathological changes and detailed molecular mechanism underlying the myogenesis of MuSCs after RCT remain incomplete.

Distinct clinical characteristics of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with asymmetrical ESR1 expression in paraspinal muscle progenitor cells.

Background: Previous studies found decreased ESR1 expression of concave paraspinal muscle progenitor cells could contribute to the initiation and progression of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The current study investigated the clinical characteristics of AIS with asymmetrical ESR1 expression in paraspinal muscle progenitor cells.

Materials And Methods: Bilateral deep paraspinal muscle progenitor cells were obtained from 25 consecutive eligible female patients with AIS.

County-based demographics, patterns of treatment seeking, and disease burden for malignant tumor patients in China.

Background: The mortality of malignant tumors in rural areas of China in 2015 was significantly higher than that in city areas (213.6 per 100,000 vs. 191.

China county-based demographics, clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and health resource consumption analysis for diabetes.

Background: The diagnosis and treatment of diabetes depends on reasonable chronic disease management. Compared with urban areas, county areas are high-risk areas for chronic disease patients, due to the low awareness of chronic disease, poor treatment compliance with chronic disease, low drug persistence, and low cure rate. Therefore, more attention should be paid to chronic disease management in county areas.

Five 11α, 12α-epoxy pentacyclic triterpenoid saponins with antithrombus activities from Glechoma longituba.

The present study reports the phytochemical investigation of n-butanol-soluble extracts of Glechoma longituba. Five new oleanane-type triterpenoid saponins with an 11α, 12α-epoxy unit, named glechomanosides A - E, were isolated from the n-butanol soluble fraction of G. longituba.

[Research on fast detecting tomato seedlings nitrogen content based on NIR characteristic spectrum selection].

In order to improve the accuracy and robustness of detecting tomato seedlings nitrogen content based on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR), 4 kinds of characteristic spectrum selecting methods were studied in the present paper, i. e. competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), Monte Carlo uninformative variables elimination (MCUVE), backward interval partial least squares (BiPLS) and synergy interval partial least squares (SiPLS).

[Study on germination rate of zoysia (Zoysia japonica Steud.) seeds using near infrared reflectance spectroscopy].

With 37 zoysia seed samples with different germination rates ranging from 58.5% to 92%, harvested in different years from 2009 to 2011 and from different locations of China, a model for determining germination rate of zoysia seeds was tried to be built by near infrared reflectance spectroscopy with quantitative partial least squares (QPLS). All the seeds samples were divided into two groups: calibration set (including 28 samples) and validation set (including 9 samples).

[Spectrum analysis of crop and weeds at seedling].

The infestation information on field weeds is the basis of variable spraying herbicides. It was found that the method using the spectral characteristics of plant is superior in real-time respect. The Fourier transform infrared spectrum technique was applied to measure the reflectance of wheat and weeds in the range from 700 to 1100 nm.
