Methods: Twenty-four healthy women underwent two sessions of dMRI scanning and visuospatial ability assessment by Complex Figure Test (CFT), once during rested wakefulness (RW) and once after 24 h of SD.

[Niche and interspecific association of dominant tree species in community].

In order to understand the interspecific and ecological relationships of (extremely small population) community and strengthen the protection of wild resources in Junzifeng Nature Reserve, we studied the niche characteristics and interspecific associations of dominant tree species. The results showed that , , , and had obvious niche breadth advantages, which were the constructive species of the community. Among the 190 groups of species pairs among the 20 dominant tree species, 50.

The whole genome is a circular molecule 50,672 bp in length and encodes 42 genes as follows: 15 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes and 25 tRNA genes. The A, T, C, G contents in the genome are 35.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the threatened (Orchidaceae).

The complete chloroplast genome of , a rare species in the family Orchidaceae was reported in this study. The genome size is 175,122 bp in length, and contains four sub-regions: 97,486 bp of large single copy (LSC) and 22,260 bp of small copy (SSC) regions, separated by 27,688 bp of inverted repeat (IR) regions. A total of 133 genes were annotated, including 87 protein-coding genes, 38 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes.

Elevated Level of Serum C-reactive Protein Predicts Postoperative Delirium among Patients Receiving Cervical or Lumbar Surgery.

Objective: To explore the relationship between elevated serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level and postoperative delirium (POD).

Methods: 206 patients scheduled to receive cervical or lumbar vertebra surgery under general anesthesia for more than 2 hours in a single medical center were observed and analyzed. Patients' serum CRP, delirious status (using the confusion assessment method (CAM)), and delirious score (using the memorial delirium assessment scale (MDAS)) were examined before surgery and 1-2 days after surgery.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Salicaceae).

Here, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of was reported. The genome is 155,531 bp long, with a GC content of 36.71%, and contains four sub-regions: 84,395 bp of large single copy (LSC) and 16,218 bp of small single copy (SSC) regions, separated by 27,459 bp of inverted repeat (IR) regions.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of Pi needle percutaneous multi-segmental fasciotomy as a minimally invasive treatment for Dupuytren's contracture.

Methods: Sixteen patients(25 fingers: 4 middle fingers, 12 ring fingers, 9 little fingers) were involved in the study, including 11 males and 5 females. There were 2 cases on both hands and 14 cases of single hand disease, including 8 cases of left hand and 6 cases of right hand.

Objective: To study clinical effects of one-hole microplate internal fixation for the treatment of collateral ligament injuries of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb combined with fracture.

Methods: Twenty-two patients (16 males, 6 females) with collateral ligament injuries of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb combined fracture were treated with one-hole microplate internal fixation. The age of the patients ranged from 18 to 53 years old with a mean age of 28.

Identity and specificity of Rhizoctonia-like fungi from different populations of Liparis japonica (Orchidaceae) in Northeast China.

Mycorrhizal association is known to be important to orchid species, and a complete understanding of the fungi that form mycorrhizas is required for orchid ecology and conservation. Liparis japonica (Orchidaceae) is a widespread terrestrial photosynthetic orchid in Northeast China. Previously, we found the genetic diversity of this species has been reduced recent years due to habitat destruction and fragmentation, but little was known about the relationship between this orchid species and the mycorrhizal fungi.

Impact of migraine attacks on the blood-brain barrier.

Background: Cortical spreading depression can cause migraine attack, and up-regulate matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression in animal. This study aimed to determine the impact on the structure and function of the blood-brain barrier by measuring plasma MMP-9 levels in patients at the acute and late stages of migraine attacks in order to elucidate the pathological mechanisms involved.

Methods: We recruited a case-control cohort of 38 adult migraine patients and 20 age- and gender-matched healthy control subjects.
