Effects of shading on morphology, photosynthesis characteristics, and yield of different shade-tolerant peanut varieties at the flowering stage.

Introduction: In maize and peanut intercropping, shading emerges as a critical factor for restricting peanut growth, yield, and quality.

Methods: This study investigated the impact of 30% shade on shade-tolerant [Huayu 22 (HY22) and Fuhua 12 (FH12)] and shade-sensitive [Nonghua 11 (NH11) and Nonghua 5(NH5)] peanut varieties, with non-shaded condition as the control (CK). The effects of shade stress on plant morphology, photosynthetic characteristics, dry-matter accumulation, chloroplast ultra-microstructure, yield, and quality of different shade-tolerant peanut varieties were examined.

Border row effects improved the spatial distributions of maize and peanut roots in an intercropping system, associated with improved yield.

Background: Border row effects impact the ecosystem functions of intercropping systems, with high direct interactions between neighboring row crops in light, water, and nutrients. However, previous studies have mostly focused on aboveground, whereas the effects of intercropping on the spatial distribution of the root system are poorly understood. Field experiments and planting box experiments were combined to explore the yield, dry matter accumulation, and spatial distribution of root morphological indexes, such as root length density (RLD), root surface area density (RSAD), specific root length (SRL), and root diameter (RD), of maize and peanut and interspecific interactions at different soil depths in an intercropping system.

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the breast: a case report.

Introduction: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the breast is a rare variant of invasive breast cancer that has been classified as metaplastic carcinoma. When a tumor is composed of spindle cells, diagnosis is challenging.

Case Report: A 42-year-old woman with a large mass in the right breast underwent modified radical mastectomy.

High expression of SHP2 predicts a promising prognosis in colorectal cancer.

Background: Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2) is hyper-activated in some solid tumors. Previous findings suggest that the expression of SHP2 in colorectal cancer (CRC) may be associated with prognosis. However, validation with large sample data is lacking.

The high expression of FOXE1 in colorectal cancer predicts a promising prognosis: a retrospective study.

Purpose Forkhead box (FOX) family proteins regulate transcription and DNA repair and are involved in cell growth, differentiation, embryogenesis, and lifespan. The transcription factor FOXE1 is a member of the FOX family. The relationship between the expression level of FOXE1 and colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis remains controversial.

Pulmonary primary meningioma: A report of two cases and review of the literature.

Introduction: Primary pulmonary meningioma (PPM) is rare, mostly asymptomatic, and difficult to recognize preoperatively. In this report, we describe two new cases of PPM and provide an updated review of the literature to enhance our understanding of PPM.

Case Presentation: The first patient was a 53-year-old woman with an asymptomatic solitary pulmonary nodule in the right lower lobe on chest computed tomography (CT).

Anal lymphoma: a tumor with insufficient attention.

Background: Anal lymphomas are extremely rare. There are no relevant descriptions in professional books, and there are only a few case reports in the literature. Here, we report a new case and review the literature to summarize the clinical and pathological features of anal lymphoma.

Transcriptome-based analysis of key pathways relating to yield formation stage of foxtail millet under different drought stress conditions.

Although foxtail millet, as small Panicoid crop, is of drought resilient, drought stress has a significant effect on panicle of foxtail millet at the yield formation stage. In this study, the changes of panicle morphology, photosynthesis, antioxidant protective enzyme system, reactive oxygen species (ROS) system, and osmotic regulatory substance and RNA-seq of functional leaves under light drought stress (LD), heavy drought stress (HD), light drought control (LDCK) and heavy drought control (HDCK) were studied to get a snap-shot of specific panicle morphological changes, physiological responses and related molecular mechanisms. The results showed that the length and weight of panicle had decreased, but with increased empty abortive rate, and then yield dropped off 14.

Correlation analysis between body mass index and foot length in Chinese adolescents: a regional study.

This study aims to analyse the relationship between body mass index and foot length in Chinese adolescents and to provide theoretical guidance for preventing a flat foot in Chinese adolescents. This study recruited 1477 students aged 14-23 years. The participants' height, weight, and body mass index were measured, as well as baseline data, including age, gender and foot length.

Comparative Genomic and Expression Analysis Insight into Evolutionary Characteristics of Genes in Cultivated Peanuts and Their Roles in Floral Induction.

Phosphatidyl ethanolamine-binding proteins (PEBPs) are involved in regulating flowering time and various developmental processes. Functions and expression patterns in cultivated peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) remain unknown.

Maize and peanut intercropping improves the nitrogen accumulation and yield per plant of maize by promoting the secretion of flavonoids and abundance of in rhizosphere.

Belowground interactions mediated by root exudates are critical for the productivity and efficiency of intercropping systems. Herein, we investigated the process of microbial community assembly in maize, peanuts, and shared rhizosphere soil as well as their regulatory mechanisms on root exudates under different planting patterns by combining metabolomic and metagenomic analyses. The results showed that the yield of intercropped maize increased significantly by 21.

SPARCL1 exhibits different expressions in left- and right-sided colon cancer and is downregulated via DNA methylation.

The authors previously found that SPARCL1 functions to suppress colorectal cancer metastasis. Here, the epigenetic mechanism of SPARCL1 regulation and its relationship with clinicopathological features in colon cancer were investigated. SPARCL1 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry staining in a tissue array containing 271 left-sided colon cancer samples and 257 right-sided colon cancer samples.

Clinicopathological and prognostic significance of PD-L1 expression in colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis.

Purpose: To systematically evaluate the correlation between PD-L1 expression and clinicopathological features and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC).

Methods: Seven databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science, CBM, Wanfang, and CNKI) were searched through May 2020. Risk of bias and quality of evidence were assessed by using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS), and meta-analysis was carried out by using the Review Manager 5.
