Identification of Fungus GZ in Buckwheat Rhizosphere and Its Promoting Effect in Buckwheat Seed Germination.

To obtain fungal strains that enhance plant growth in the rhizosphere soil of buckwheat, we utilized morphological and molecular biological methods to identify 10 fungal strains from the rhizosphere soil and subsequently evaluated their effects on seed germination. The results demonstrated that all 10 fungal strains were classified as . The spores of these strains significantly enhanced the germination of buckwheat seeds, with germination rates improving by 3.

Multiomics unraveled that gibberellin signaling underlies adaptation of rice to ciprofloxacin stress: Calling for concerns on the adverse effects of pharmaceutical residues in water during agricultural irrigations.

Residual concentrations of antibiotics in water can reach ng mL - µg mL levels, which pose high risks to crops during irrigation; however, the interactions between rice and antibiotics, as well as the defense mechanisms of rice at their early growth phase remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the uptake dynamics of a ubiquitously found antibiotic, ciprofloxacin (CIP) at 0.1, 1, 6.

Social support, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and self-management behaviors among people living with HIV/AIDS in China: a structural equation modeling analysis.

Background: Understanding the psychosocial factors influencing self-management behaviors among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) is crucial for effective medical interventions and improving their quality of life. However, few studies have explored the psychosocial mechanisms influencing self-management behaviors among PLWHA in China. This study, conducted in accordance with STROBE guidelines, uses SEM to explore the roles of social support, self-efficacy, and self-esteem in predicting self-management behaviors among Chinese PLWHA.

Inclusive leadership, self-efficacy, organization-based self-esteem, and intensive care nurses' job performance: A cross-sectional study using structural equation modeling.

Background: The job performance of intensive care nurses is critical to the treatment and recovery of critically ill patients. Inclusive leadership, self-efficacy and organization-based self-esteem (OBSE) are important psychosocial factors affecting job performance. However, few studies have explored the relationships among these factors in critical care nurses.

Entomogenous fungi play a crucial role as biological regulators of arthropod populations in nature. In this paper, a newly isolated strain 19GZAl-1, was identified as through the observetions of macroscopic and microscopic morphological features, and the results of rDNA- ITS sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis.

Unexpected increase in microalgal removal of doxylamine induced by bicarbonate addition: synergistic chem-/bio-degradation mechanisms.

Microalgae-based approaches serve as promising methods for the remediation of pharmaceutical contaminants (PCs) compared to conventional wastewater treatment processes. However, how to decrease hydraulic retention times of the microalgal system currently has been one of the main bottlenecks. This study constructed an unexpected synergistic extra-chemical/intra-biological degradation system by adding 5.

Effectiveness of nurse-led self-care interventions on quality of life, social support, depression and anxiety among people living with HIV: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: People living with HIV often face challenges related to quality of life, mental health, and social support. Nurse-led self-care interventions have been proposed as a means to address these issues, but their overall effectiveness needs systematic evaluation.

Objectives: To systematically review and meta-analyze the effectiveness of nurse-led self-care interventions on quality of life, social support, depression, and anxiety among people living with HIV.

Ethionine-induced S-adenosylmethionine deficiency suppressed H3K27me3 and cell differentiation during neural tube development in mice.

S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as a major methyl donor plays a key role in methylation modification in vivo, and its disorder was closely related to neural tube defects (NTDs). However, the exact mechanism between SAM deficiency and NTDs remained unclearly. Hence, we investigated the association between histone methylation modification and cell differentiation in NTDs mice induced by SAM deficiency.

The effect of inclusive leadership on turnover intention of intensive care unit nurses: the mediating role of organization-based self-esteem and interactional justice.

Background: Intensive Care Unit nurses are related to the medical quality and life outcome of critically ill patients. In the context of nurse shortage, it is of great significance to reduce the turnover intention of Intensive Care Unit nurses. Inclusive Leadership, organizational-based self-esteem and Interactional Justice are important factors affecting the turnover intention of Intensive Care Unit nurses.

Cycloleucine induces neural tube defects by reducing Pax3 expression and impairing the balance of proliferation and apoptosis in early neurulation.

S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) plays a critical role in the development of neural tube defects (NTDs). Studies have shown that the paired box 3 (Pax3) gene is involved in neural tube closure. However, the exact mechanism between Pax3 and NTDs induced by SAM deficiency remains unclear.

MSC Exosomes Containing Valproic Acid Promote Wound Healing by Modulating Inflammation and Angiogenesis.

Purpose: Chronic wounds that are difficult to heal pose a major challenge for clinicians and researchers. Currently, common treatment methods focus on isolating the wound from the outside world, relying on the tissue at the wound site to grow and heal unaided. Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) exosomes can promote wound healing by enhancing new blood vessel growth at the wound site.

The Impact of Stigma on Self-Management Behavior Among People with HIV in China: The Role of Social Support and Self-Esteem.

Understanding the psychosocial factors influencing self-management behaviors among people with HIV (PWH) is crucial for effective medical interventions and improving their quality of life. However, there has been limited research exploring the psychosocial mechanisms influencing self-management behaviors among PWH in China. Our study examined the relationship between stigma, social support, self-esteem, and self-management behaviors among PWH, as well as whether social support and self-esteem mediate these relationships.

Long-term exposure to prometryn damages the visual system and changes color preference of female zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Color vision, initiated from the cone photoreceptors, is essential for fish to obtain environmental information. Although the visual impairment of triazine herbicide prometryn has been reported, data on the effect of herbicide such as prometryn on natural color sensitivity of fish is scarce. Here, zebrafish were exposed to prometryn (0, 1, 10, and 100 μg/L) from 2 h post-fertilization to 160 days post-fertilization, to explore the effect and underlying mechanism of prometryn on color perception.

Conductivity-mediated electrochemical reconstruction of CuO for nitrate reduction to ammonia.

The electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NORR) is an ideal NH synthesis route with ease of operation, high energy efficiency, and low environmental detriment. Electrocatalytic cathodes play a dominant role in the NORR. Herein, we constructed a carbon fiber paper-supported CuO nanoarray catalyst (CP/CuO) by an electrochemical reconstruction method for NO-to-NH conversion.

Bisphenols can promote antibiotic resistance by inducing metabolic adaptations and natural transformation.

Whether bisphenols, as plasticizers, can influence bacterial uptake of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in natural environment, as well as the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Our results showed that four commonly used bisphenols (bisphenol A, S, F, and AF) at their environmental relative concentrations can significantly promote transmission of ARGs by 2.97-3.

Central hyperthyroidism due to an ectopic TSH-secreting pituitary tumor: a case report and literature review.

Ectopic thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)-secreting tumors are extremely rare, with only 15 reported cases in the literature. Herein, we described a 60-year-old female patient with thyrotoxicosis and elevated or unsuppressed levels of TSH. Family history and laboratory and genetic tests did not support a diagnosis of resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH).

Association between physical frailty, circadian syndrome and cardiovascular disease among middle-aged and older adults: a longitudinal study.
