Integrative analysis of the transcriptome and proteome reveals the molecular responses of tobacco to boron deficiency.

Background: Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Inappropriate B supply detrimentally affects the productivity of numerous crops. Understanding of the molecular responses of plants to different B supply levels would be of significance in crop improvement and cultivation practices to deal with the problem.

Dose-response study of propofol combined with two different doses of esketamine for laryngeal mask airway insertion in women undergoing hysteroscopy.

Objective: To prospectively determine the median effective dose (ED50) of propofol for inhibiting a response to laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion when combined with different doses of esketamine in female patients.

Methods: A total of 58 female patients (aged 20-60 years, ASAⅠ-Ⅱ) scheduled for elective hysteroscopy were enrolled and randomly divided into 2 groups, one of which was administered 0.2 mg/kg of esketamine (K1 group, n = 28) and the other 0.

Case report: Anesthetic management for removal of tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava and pulmonary artery in renal cell carcinoma.

Anesthetic management of patients with renal cell carcinoma with tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava (IVC) is challenging. This paper reports the experience of anesthesia management in a patient with advanced renal cell carcinoma with thrombus accumulation in the IVC, right atrium, and pulmonary artery who underwent radical nephrectomy and tumor thrombus removal assisted by cardiopulmonary bypass. The emboli, measuring approximately 3 × 6 cm in the left inferior pulmonary artery and 4 × 13 cm in the right main pulmonary artery, were removed completely.

Feasibility study of intubation in lateral position using Viva-sight double-lumen tube combined with video laryngoscope in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy.

Background: Double-lumen tube (DLT) intubation in lateral decubitus position is rarely reported. We designed this study to evaluate the feasibility of VivaSight double-lumen tube (VDLT) intubation assisted by video laryngoscope in lateral decubitus patients.

Methods: Patients undergoing elective video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for lung lobectomy were assessed for eligibility between January 2022 and December, 2022.

De novo transcriptome analysis reveals the molecular regulatory mechanism underlying the response to excess nitrogen in Azolla spp.

Phytoremediation potential of Azolla in removal of nitrogen from wastewater has been promising. However, little is known about the response of Azolla to high concentrations of nitrogen. In this study, the responses of four Azolla species to different concentrations of total nitrogen ranging from 0 to 180 mg L were examined.

Challenges in the surgical treatment of undiagnosed functional paragangliomas: A case report.

Introduction: Paragangliomas (PGs) or extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms of ubiquitous distribution. Those that produce excess catecholamine are categorized as functional, and those that do not are categorized as nonfunctional. Although modern medical technology is becoming more widespread, there are still substantial risks of misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis of PGs.

Highly sensitive and selective sensing platform based on π-π interaction between tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with thionine-graphene composite.

We are just beginning to exploit the fascinating potential of thionine, called electrochemical probe that can selectively recognize specific polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), as tools for the detection of tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbons phenanthrene (PHE) and anthracene (ANT). A novel electrochemical sensing platform by modification of electroactive thionine functionalized graphene onto glass carbon electrode (Th/GRs/GCE) surface was constructed. The immobilized thionine showed a remarkable stability, which may benefit from the π-π stacking force with graphene.

[Aluminum-tolerant characteristics of different Chamaecrista genotypes].

A hydroponic culture experiment was conducted to study the responses of 40 Chamaecrista varieties (lines) to 120 mg x L(-1) of Al3+, with the correlations between the relative tolerance values of various characters of different genotypes and the comprehensive evaluation coefficient compared. Among the characters of the genotypes, the relative plant height, relative root dry mass, relative shoot dry mass, and relative root activity could be selected as the important indices for screening the Al-tolerant genotype of Chamaecrista. In the test 40 Chamaecrista varieties (lines), the 86134R2, 2208, 3170, 316, 2211, and 2232 had stronger Al-tolerant capability, belonging to Al-tolerant genotype, whereas the 34721R1, 92985, and 3184 had weaker Al-tolerant capacity, belonging to Al-sensitive genotype.

Structural and photoluminescent studies of lanthanide complexes with tripodal triRNTB (N-substituted tris(benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine): ligand substituent, anionic and secondary ligand effects.

Six N-substituted NTB ligands (NTB = (tris(benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine), namely, triMeNTB (L1), triEtNTB (L2), triPrNTB (L3), triBuNTB (L4), triAlNTB (L5) and triBzNTB (L6), have been synthesized through replacing the H atoms on the NH groups by methyl, ethyl, (n)propyl, (n)butyl, allyl, and benzyl groups, respectively. Their corresponding Sm(3+), Eu(3+) and Tb(3+) complexes consisting of different anions or secondary ligands have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements. Three types of structural models have been obtained: (2) where two triTNTB ligands wrap around the Ln(3+) ion with anions (ClO(4)(-) and CF(3)SO(3)(-)) free of coordination, (3) where one triRNTB ligand holds the Ln(3+) ion with anions (Cl(-), NO(3)(-) and picrate) participating in coordination, and '(3) where one triNTB ligand and three secondary antipyrine ligands coordinate with the Ln(3+) ion.

Tris(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine-solvent adducts.

The tris(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine (ntb) molecule crystallizes in different solvent systems, resulting in two kinds of adduct, namely the monohydrate, C24H21N7.H2O or ntb.H2O, (I), and the acetonitrile-methanol-water (1/0.
