Background: Acetabular fractures typically require open surgery to restore hip joint function. Openness may lead to serious tissue damage, increased bleeding, and the risk of nerve and vascular damage. Minimally invasive closed reduction or percutaneous fixation aims to minimize additional harm to patients and provide reliable fixation to promote fracture recovery and functional rehabilitation.

Leaf spot disease, caused by Corynespora cassiicola, poses a significant threat to the ornamental quality and economic value of hydrangeas. However, the disease resistance breeding of hydrangea is limited due to the lacking of resistant varieties and genes.

Objective: Obesity is a global health concern. Studying the heterogeneity of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) plays a pivotal role in understanding metabolic disorders, such as obesity.
Methods: Mass cytometry was used to determine the depot-specific differences and heterogeneity of ADSCs and their alterations at the single-cell level in a diet-induced-obesity (DIO) model in which mice were treated with liraglutide.

Embryo abortion at the heart-shaped stage is the main reason for the failure of interspecific hybridization of hydrangea, and salicylic acid plays a key role during embryo abortion. Difficulties in obtaining seeds from interspecific hybridization between Hydrangea macrophylla and H. arborescens had severely restricted the process of breeding new hydrangea varieties.

The general solutions, which use piezoresistive, capacitive, and thermal resistance effects, are usually subject to single-mode sensing and an energy supply. Here, we propose a multimode self-powered sensor.

Materials And Methods: A finite element model of the spinal segment of T11-L1 was constructed and 6 mL of cement was built into T11 and L1 simultaneously. According to the various distributions of bone cement at T11 and L1, the following four groups were formed: (i) Group B-B: bilateral bone cement reinforcement in both T11 and L1 vertebral bodies; (ii) Group L-B: left unilateral reinforcement in T11 and bilateral reinforcement in L1; (iii) Group L-R: unilateral cement reinforcement in both T11 and L1 (cross); (iv) Group L-L: unilateral cement reinforcement in both T11 and L1 (ipsilateral side).
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria have been shown to enhance plant tolerance to drought stress through various mechanisms. However, there is limited research on improving drought resistance in alfalfa by genetically modifying PGPR to produce increased levels of cytokinins. Herein, we employed synthetic biology approaches to engineer two novel strains of capable of overproducing trans-Zeatin and investigated their potential in enhancing drought tolerance in alfalfa.

Therefore, diet control can reduce body weight and regulate blood glucose and lipids, but it remains unclear whether it can improve male fertility and its mechanism. This study explores the effects of switching from a high-fat diet (HFD) to a normal diet (ND) on the fertility potential of obese male mice and its related mechanisms.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Studies indicate a relationship between a high-fat diet (HFD) and sperm quality. However, the time-dependent adverse effects of a HFD on sperm parameters and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
Objectives: The present study was designed to determine the effects of a HFD on sperm quality at various time points in order to assess whether a HFD causes cumulative damage to sperm.
