Genome-wide characterization and expression analyses of the superfamily genes during developmental stages in Chinese jujube.

The MYB transcription factor (TF) superfamily, one of the largest gene superfamilies, regulates a variety of physiological processes in plants. Although many MYB superfamily genes have been identified in plants, the MYB TFs in Chinese jujube ( Mill.) have not been fully identified and characterized.

[Influence of positional relationship between the long axis of the mandibular anterior teeth and the alveolar bone on the treatment design of dental implants].

Objective: This study aimed at investigating and measuring the positional relationship between the long axis of the mandibular anterior teeth and the alveolar bone using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to provide reference data for implant treatment.

Methods: From the CBCT image database, 150 cases of radiographic data were selected according to the inclusion criteria and then were divided into six groups: males' mandibular central incisors, males' mandibular lateral incisors, males' mandibular canines, females' mandibular central incisors, females' mandibular lateral incisors, and females' mandibular canines. The angle (β) formed by the long axis of the mandibular anterior teeth and the corresponding alveolar bone was measured and recorded.

[The influence of angulation of maxillary anterior teeth on treatment design of dental implants].

Objective: This study aims to analyze the angulation of the maxillary anterior teeth relative to the alveolus to provide reference data for clinicians on the best conditions for implant placement in the esthetic zone.

Methods: Numerous cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were reviewed and screened. A total of 150 maxillary images were selected by strict adherence to the defined inclusive criteria, with 75 images each from male and female patients (between the ages of 19 and 48 years at the time of CBCT scan).

[The effect of glial cells in the function and development of the nervous system in Caenorhabditis elegans].

There are three types of glial cells in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans for short): sheath glia, socket glia and glutamate receptor glia. They are mainly located in four sensory organs including the amphid, the cephalic organ, the outer labial sensilla and the inner labial sensilla.
