An integrated transcriptome, metabolomic, and physiological investigation uncovered the underlying tolerance mechanisms of Monochoria korsakowii in response to acute/chronic cadmium exposure.

Identifying the physiological response and tolerance mechanism of wetland plants to heavy metal exposure can provide theoretical guidance for an early warning for acute metal pollution and metal-contaminated water phytoremediation. A hydroponic experiment was employed to investigate variations in the antioxidant enzyme activity, chlorophyll content, and photosynthesis in leaves of Monochoria korsakowii under 0.12 mM cadmium ion (Cd) acute (4 d) and chronic (21 d) exposure.

[Phenylpropanoid pathway in plants and its role in response to heavy metal stress: a review].

Phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway is one of the most important secondary metabolic pathways in plants. It directly or indirectly plays an antioxidant role in plant resistance to heavy metal stress, and can improve the absorption and stress tolerance of plants to heavy metal ions. In this paper, the core reactions and key enzymes of the phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway were summarized, and the biosynthetic processes of key metabolites such as lignin, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins and relevant mechanisms were analyzed.

Tolerance mechanism and phytoremediation potential of to zinc and cadmium co-contamination.

can not only effectively remediate eutrophic water, but also displays strong absorption and bioaccumulation abilities for heavy metals. However, it has not been well-understood how the plant resists the combined stress of heavy metals. In these experiments, the morphophysiological traits, the ascorbate-glutathione (AsA-GSH) cycle, the glyoxalase system, and the contents of zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) were investigated under Zn and Cd co-pollution.

Cardioprotective effects of rat adipose‑derived stem cells differ under normoxic/physioxic conditions and are associated with paracrine factor secretion.

Adipose tissue‑derived stem cells (ASCs) are beneficial for myocardial regeneration. The physiological oxygen content of human organs is estimated to range between 1 and 11%. However, in the majority of previous in vitro studies with cultured ASCs, the O2 concentration was artificially set to 21%.

First-time versus recurrent penoscrotal extramammary Paget's disease: Clinicopathological characteristics and risk factors in 164 Chinese male patients.

Background: Penoscrotal extramammary Paget's disease is a rare, slow-growing neoplasm with high frequency of local recurrence.

Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in clinicopathological characteristics between first-time and recurrent penoscrotal Paget's disease, and to discover the potential risk factors of recurrence.

Methods: Between January 2007 and February 2014, a total of 164 Chinese patients with biopsy-proven tramammary Paget's diseaseex in penis and scrotum underwent wide local resection in our institution.

Safety and Efficacy of Facial Fat Grafting Under Local Anesthesia.

Background: Facial fat grafting under local anesthesia has been widely performed in outpatient departments and private settings in China. The present study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of facial fat grafting under local anesthesia.

Method: A retrospective study was conducted on 155 patients who underwent facial fat grafting.
