Introduction: Phosphorus (P) readily forms insoluble complexes in soil, thereby inhibiting the absorption and utilization of this essential nutrient by plants. Phosphorus deficiency can significantly impede the growth of forage grass. While () has been recognized for promoting the assimilation of otherwise unobtainable nutrients, its impact on P uptake remains understudied.

The family of phosphatidylethanolamine-binding proteins (PEBPs) participates in various plant biological processes, mainly flowering regulation and seed germination. In cucurbit crops, several genes have been recognized to be responsible for flowering time. However, the investigation of PEBP family members across the genomes of cucurbit species has not been reported, and their conservation and divergence in structure and function remain largely unclear.

The symbiosis between endophytic fungi and plants can promote the absorption of potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other nutrients by plants. Phosphorus is one of the indispensable nutrient elements for plant growth and development. However, the content of available phosphorus in soil is very low, which limits the growth of plants.

The presence of the ozone hole increases the amount of UV radiation reaching a plant's surface, and UV-B radiation is an abiotic stress capable of affecting plant growth. Pall. () grows in alpine regions, where strong UV-B radiation is present, and has been able to adapt to strong UV-B radiation over a long period of evolution.

Total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) is a vital indicator for assessing seafood freshness and edibility. Rapid on-site detection of volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) is of significant importance for food safety monitoring. In this study, highly luminescent self-assembled copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs@-MBA), synthesized using -mercaptobenzoic acid (-MBA) as the ligand, were utilized for the sensitive detection of VBNs.

Article Synopsis
  • * Recent advancements in transcriptome and acetylated proteome technologies facilitated a detailed study of Pall. leaves, uncovering 2348 differentially expressed genes and 685 differentially expressed acetylated proteins under UV-B stress.
  • * The research highlights the involvement of RcMYB44 in hormone signaling pathways (like salicylic acid and jasmonic acid) for UV-B stress resistance, while also noting discrepancies between gene and protein expression likely due to post-translational modifications.

Background: Although the level of medical care has been improved in recent years, the probability of patients contracting pathogens has increased greatly, with a rising incidence of invasive fungal infections. Deep-seated fungi have become common pathogens of nosocomial infections.

Objective: This study aims to systematically assess the effectiveness, mortality, survival rate, and adverse reactions (ARs) of high-dose (HD) liposomal amphotericin B (L-AMB) for human diseases.

Background: There is a substantially increasing need for general practitioners (GPs) for future unpredictable pandemic crises, especially at the community-based health services (CBHS) level to protect the vast and varied grassroot-level population in China. Thus, it is crucial to understand the factors that affect Chinese medical students' GP career choices and commitments to CBHS.

Methods: Leveraging the self-administered data collected across the country, this study conducted logistic regressions with 3,438 medical students.

Gastric cancer with bone marrow metastasis and disseminated intravascular coagulation constitutes a highly aggressive gastric cancer subtype which presents a peculiar biological behavior and very poor prognosis. Retrospective studies have shown chemotherapy could prolong survival, but a prospective trial is still unavailable. This study is the first prospective clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer patients with bone marrow metastasis.

Background: One of the most common nasal external sites in extranodal Natural Killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is in the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Despite this, reports on gastrointestinal-Natural Killer/T-cell lymphoma (GI-NKTCL) are very few. To obtain a better understanding of this manifestation of NKTCL, we conducted a retrospective study on GI-NKTCL to analyze its clinical features, genomic changes and immune infiltration.

Two novel PEGylated ethinylestradiol (PEG = poly(ethylene glycol)) estrogen receptor (ER) targeting probes [I]EITE and [I]MITE were synthesized and evaluated. Both probes had a nanomolar binding affinity to the ER receptor (36.47 nM for [I]EITE and 61.

Overexpression of estrogen receptors (ERs) is one of the important characteristics of most breast cancers. We aim to develop a new type of ER-specific radioiodine-labeled estrogen derivative ([I]IPBA-EE), which was modified with an albumin-specific ligand 4-(-iodophenyl) butyric acid (IPBA) to improve the metabolic stability and enhance the ER-targeting ability of estrogen. [I]IPBA-EE can effectively bind to albumin in vitro, and its dissociation constant ( = 0.

Purpose: The formation of advanced plaques, which is characterized by the uninterrupted aggregation of macrophages with high expression of folate receptor-β (FR-β), is observed in several concomitant metabolic syndromes. The objective of this study was to develop a novel FR-β-targeted single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) radiotracer and validate its application to the noninvasive detection of atherosclerosis (AS) plaque and non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL).

Methods: Two radioiodinated probes, [I]IPBF and [I]IBF, were developed, and cell uptake studies were used to identify their specific targets for activated macrophages.

Objective: Accurate evaluation of tumor programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression can assist in predicting whether a patient will respond to anti-PD-L1 therapy. In this study, we aimed to develop stable radioiodinated PD-L1 antibodies that can be used for PD-L1 targeted SPECT/PET imaging.

Methods: Radioiodination was accomplished via a prosthetic group ([I]SIB or [I]SIB) to give radioiodinated anti-human PD-L1 and anti-mouse PD-L1 antibody (anti-PD-L1 and anti-PD-L1).

Traditional radio monitoring and management largely depend on radio spectrum data analysis, which requires considerable domain experience and heavy cognition effort and frequently results in incorrect signal judgment and incomprehensive situation awareness. Faced with increasingly complicated electromagnetic environments, radio supervisors urgently need additional data sources and advanced analytical technologies to enhance their situation awareness ability. This paper introduces a visual analytics approach for electromagnetic situation awareness.

The terminal complement complex C5b-9 plays an important role in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and carotid atherosclerosis. However, the associations between serum C5b-9, the severity and outcome of AIS, and the stability of carotid plaques have not been well investigated. In this clinical study, 70 patients with AIS and 70 healthy controls were enrolled.

This study focuses on the construction of novel diphenylacrylonitrile-connected BODIPY dyes with high fluorescence in both solution and an aggregated state by combining DRET and FRET processes in a single donor-acceptor system. The first BODIPY derivatives with one, two, or three AIE-active diphenylacrylonitrile groups were designed and synthesized in moderate yields. Strong fluorescence emissions were observed in the THF solution under excitation at the absorption wavelength of non-emissive diphenylacrylonitrile chromophores, implying the existence of the DRET process between the dark diphenylacrylonitrile donor and the emissive BODIPY acceptor.
