A Leucine-Rich Receptor Like Kinase LRK2 Is Involved in the Regulation of Cold Tolerance and Yield in Rice.

Low temperature affects rice growth and yield. Receptor-like protein kinases play an important role in plant growth and development. In order to reveal the role of a leucine-rich receptor like kinase LRK2 in low temperature stress and growth and development of rice.

Safety and efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis before mechanical thrombectomy in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Background: Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is the standard treatment for patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO). However, the efficacy and safety of IVT before EVT in AIS-LVO patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains controversial. Thus, this study aims to assess the benefit of IVT plus EVT and direct EVT alone in AIS-LVO patients with AF.

Efficacy and safety of nalbuphine for epidural labor analgesia at high altitude: An observational study.

Xining is located at the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an average altitude of >7000 feet (>2000 m). Nalbuphine is a kappa-opioid receptor agonist that can provide analgesia with fewer side effects than other opioid analgesics. This study aimed to evaluate pain control, side effects, and neonatal outcomes from combining nalbuphine with sufentanil and ropivacaine in 600 women during epidural anesthesia while giving birth at a high altitude in Xining, China.

Intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke patients with pre-stroke disability: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), which is safe and effective, is the first-line therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, its benefit for AIS patients with pre-stroke disability (PSD) is controversial.

Objective: We determined the association of PSD with the safety and efficacy of IVT among patients with AIS.

Surface Chain-Transfer Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization.

Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a powerful method to graft various types of polymer chains to a given surface. While surface-initiated ROMP (SI-ROMP) serves as an efficient tool for surface modification and is therefore widely reported, the method requires grafting (1) the olefin substrate and (2) the metathesis catalyst to the surface prior to the polymerization with multiple synthetic and work up steps. To overcome this difficulty, we proposed the use of the chain-transfer reaction as an alternative method for surface modification.

Implications of frailty in acute ischemic stroke receiving endovascular treatment: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Frailty is a state of cumulative degeneration of bodily functions that is consistently associated with poor outcomes in older people following illness. Combined stroke intervention and frailty may yield additive and synergistic effects adults with stroke.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular therapy (EVT) in frail patients.

Clinical Significance of Plasma D-Dimer and Fibrinogen in Outcomes after Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: There is increasing evidence on the prognostic significance of D-dimer and fibrinolysis in stroke. However, the systematic analysis of their relationship with adverse outcomes after stroke is lacking. Herein, we comprehensively assessed the correlation of D-dimer and fibrinolysis with stroke outcomes through meta-analysis.

Inhibition of L-Cysteine on the Browning of Fresh Wet Noodles.

This research explored the effect of L-cysteine on the browning of fresh wet noodles (FWN). With the increasing addition of L-cysteine (0.02-0.

In situ resuspension rate monitoring method in the littoral zone with multi-ecotypes of a shallow wind-disturbed lake.

Sediment resuspension has been recognized as a crucial internal process in aquatic ecosystems. However, there is still a lack of reliable measuring methods due to the complex hydrodynamic conditions in large shallow eutrophic lakes. In this study, sequential sediment traps (SST) and instantaneous multiple point (IMP) methods were compared at 6 sites located in the littoral zone of Zhushan Bay in Lake Taihu.

[Deposition Characteristics of Suspended Solids and the Response of Dissolved Nutrients in Spring in the Western Lakeside of Taihu Lake].

To reveal the spatiotemporal characteristics of nutrients in the deposition process of suspended solids in lakeside zone, deposition tests were performed in the western lakeside of Taihu Lake,and the contents of TP,TN,NH-N and NO-N were measured and analyzed.The results showed that the deposition fluxes in the western lakeside of Taihu Lake ranked as follows:artificial reed areas >non-vegetation nearshore areas >natural reed areas >non-vegetation offshore areas,with their average values of (1383.40±925.
