Article Synopsis
  • The freshwater fish genus being studied consists of 75 known species, making it the largest group of cavefish, exhibiting specific adaptations for living in cave environments, such as eye degeneration and skin depigmentation.
  • The research focuses on a peculiar behavior called wall-following (WF), which is thought to be more pronounced in eyeless species of cavefish compared to their normal- or micro-eyed counterparts.
  • Findings reveal that eyeless cavefish show significantly stronger wall-following behavior, indicating this trait is likely an ancestral behavior enhanced by adaptations for life in dark, subterranean habitats.

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL) patients with bone marrow involvement and chromosome abnormalities, and further analyze the correlation between the degree of chromosome abnormality and prognosis.

Methods: The clinical data of 88 patients diagnosed with DLBCL with bone marrow involvement and complete chromosomal findings in Shanxi Province Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The χ test was used to analyze their clinical characteristics, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used in PFS and OS, and log-rank method in comparison.

Background: Increased proliferation and hypertrophy of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) contribute substantially to airway remodeling in asthma. Interleukin (IL)-13 regulates ASMC proliferation by increasing Orai1 expression, the pore-forming subunit of store-operated Ca entry (SOCE). The underlying mechanisms of this effect are not fully understood.

Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is involved in the pathogenesis of airway inflammation and remodeling in asthma. Store-operated calcium entry-associated regulatory factor (SARAF) can downregulate SOCE. We sought to investigate the role of SARAF in the regulation of airway inflammation and remodeling in asthma mice models, as well as in the functional regulation of human airway smooth muscle cells (hASMCs).

Background: To tackle the issue with the low usage of primary healthcare service in China, it is essential to align resource distribution with the preferences of the community residents. There are few academic researches for describing residents' perceived characteristics of healthcare services in China. This study aims to investigate the preferences of healthcare services utilization in community residents and explore the heterogeneity.

Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is an important regulatory factor in cells. NF-κB has a wide range of biological activities. After activation, it participates in the transcription and regulation of many genes and plays a role in infection, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, cell multiplication, and apoptosis.

Theoretically, the accomplishment of phase transformation requires sufficient energy to overcome the barriers of structure rearrangements. The transition of an amorphous structure to a crystalline structure is implemented traditionally by heating at high temperatures. However, phase transformation under ambient condition without involving external energy has not been reported.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to treat the cleft lip and alveolus, nasal deformity with presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM), to elucidate the problems and treatment methods, which may be helpful for the use of PNAM in clinic.

Methods: Twenty nine infants with cleft lip and palate (CLP) were treated with PNAM in our center. There were 19 unilateral and 10 bilateral CLP patients.

Salinization contributes significantly to soil degradation and the growth and survival of plants. A high level of salts imposes both ionic and osmotic stresses on plants, resulting in an excessive accumulation of sodium (Na) in plant tissues. Na toxicity disrupts the uptake of soil nutrients.

An intelligent control system has been designed using the single chip and the related circuit, and with the assemble language. It is connected with the common X-ray units to control the exposure dose. The result shows that three parameters for radiography are well controlled by the intelligent control system, and auto-radiography is realized.
