Introduction: The research on plant leaf morphology is of great significance for understanding the development and evolution of plant organ morphology. As a relict plant, the leaf morphology typically exhibits bifoliate and peltate forms. However, throughout its long evolutionary history, Ginkgo leaves have undergone diverse changes.

, a new species from the dry-hot valley of the Jinsha River in the Yunnan province, China, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to and in having glabrescent old branches, absent stipels, 3-foliolate leaves, and adaxially puberulent leaflets, while it differs from the latter two in having often paniculate inflorescences, obviously white standard, not incurved sickle keel, larger narrowly oblique legumes, and longer legume beak. The complete chloroplast genome of this new species is 149,073 bp in length and exhibits a typical quadripartite structure.

Electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination (EHDC) is a promising approach to safely remove halogenated emerging contaminants (HECs) pollutants. However, sluggish production dynamics of adsorbed atomic H (H*) limit the applicability of this green process. In this study, bimetallic Pd-Cu@MXene catalysts were synthesized to achieve highly efficient removal of HECs.

Objective: To investigate the association between early perihematomal edema (PHE) expansion and functional outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods: Patients with ICH who underwent initial computed tomography (CT) scans within 6 hours after the onset of symptoms and follow-up CT scans within 24 ± 12 hours were included. Absolute PHE increase was defined as the absolute increase in PHE volume from baseline to 24 hours.

The original intracerebral hemorrhage (oICH) score is the severity score most commonly used in clinical intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) research but may be influenced by hematoma expansion or intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) growth in acute ICH. Here, we aimed to develop new clinical scores to improve the prediction of functional outcomes in patients with ICH. Patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University with primary ICH were prospectively enrolled in this study.

Nucleosomes are the basic unit of the three-dimensional structure of chromatin. It is now widely accepted that the positioning and occupancy of nucleosomes play important roles in fundamental genomic processes such as DNA transcription, replication and repair. Among the methods used to provide genome-wide nucleosomal positions and occupancy levels, MNase-seq has proven to be highly effective.

Background Noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) markers are the emerging predictors of hematoma expansion in intracerebral hemorrhage. However, the relationship between NCCT markers and the dynamic change of hematoma in parenchymal tissues and the ventricular system remains unclear. Methods and Results We included 314 consecutive patients with intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to our hospital from July 2011 to May 2017.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between hematoma ventricle distance (HVD) and clinical outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods: We prospectively enrolled consecutive patients with ICH in a tertiary academic hospital between July 2011 and April 2018. We retrospectively reviewed images for all patients receiving a computed tomography (CT) within 6 h after onset of symptoms and at least one follow-up CT scan within 36 h.

Background/objectives: To propose a novel definition for hydrocephalus growth and to further describe the association between hydrocephalus growth and poor outcome among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods: We analyzed consecutive patients who presented within 6 h after ICH ictus between July 2011 and June 2017. Follow-up CT scans were performed within 36 h after initial CT scans.

  • The gut microbiome is important for our health, and studying poop and pee can help us understand how microbes in our gut work with our bodies and food.
  • Researchers used a special method to identify many different compounds in the poop and pee of healthy young adults from India and China.
  • They found that people’s diets and where they come from affect the types of compounds in their poop and pee, which are linked to the bacteria living in their guts.

  • The study investigates the peripheral blood miRNA profiles in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) at various time points (2, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours) after injury at high altitude.
  • Twenty patients were randomly selected and their miRNA levels were analyzed using real-time quantitative PCR to understand the changes over time.
  • Results showed that specific miRNAs changed significantly at different time points, suggesting that these miRNAs may play a role in managing inflammation, cell death, and DNA repair processes related to sTBI.

Our phosphoproteomics identified that phosphorylation of EphA2 at serine 897 (pS897-EphA2) was significantly upregulated in the high metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells relative to non-metastatic NPC cells. However, the role and underlying mechanism of pS897-EphA2 in cancer metastasis and stem properties maintenance remain poorly understood. In this study, we established NPC cell lines with stable expression of exogenous EphA2 and EphA2-S897A using endogenous EphA2 knockdown cells, and observed that pS897-EphA2 maintained EphA2-dependent NPC cell in vitro migration and invasion, in vivo metastasis and cancer stem properties.

In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons, to investigate the spatio-temporal variation in bacterial communities in surface-waters collected from eight major outlets of the Pearl River Estuary, South China. Betaproteobacteria were the most abundant class among the communities, followed by Gammaproteobacteria, Alphaproteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Acidimicrobiia. Generally, alpha-diversity increased in winter communities and the taxonomic diversity of bacterial communities differed with seasonal and spatial differences.

Article Synopsis
  • ANXA1 is linked to cancer, particularly nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), where it affects tumor behavior by regulating autophagy-associated proteins like SQSTM1.
  • The study found that high levels of ANXA1 are correlated with increased metastasis in NPC due to its role in inhibiting autophagy through the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
  • By suppressing autophagy, ANXA1 promotes tumor cell migration and invasion, indicating that enhancing autophagy could be a potential strategy to reduce metastasis in NPC patients with high ANXA1 expression.

Article Synopsis
  • * In a study with different samples, scientists found that higher levels of RACK1 were linked to worse colon cancer, meaning it could help the cancer grow and spread.
  • * RACK1 helps colon cancer cells multiply and survive by causing a process called autophagy, so blocking this process might be a way to treat colon cancer patients with high RACK1 levels.

The interaction between diet and gut microbiota, and ultimately their link to health, has turned into the concentration of huge research. However, this relationship still needs to be fully characterized, particularly in case of the Asian population. We compared the fecal bacterial diversity and composition of healthy Indian and Chinese adults, ages 22-35 years, using next-generation sequencing analysis on IlluminaHiSeq 2500 platform.
