Comprehensive analyses show the enhancement effect of exogenous melatonin on fluroxypyr-meptyl multiple phase metabolisms in Oryza sativa for reducing environmental risks.

The role of melatonin (MT), an essential phytohormone controlling the physiological and biochemical reactions of plants to biotic and abiotic stress, in alleviating pesticide phytotoxicity remains unclear. This study explores the effects of MT (0 and 200 mg/L) and six doses of fluroxypyr-meptyl (FLUME) (0-0.14 mg/L) on the physiological response of rice (Oryza sativa).

CCL11 released by GSDMD-mediated macrophage pyroptosis regulates angiogenesis after hindlimb ischemia.

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is an emerging public health burden with a high rate of disability and mortality. Gasdermin D (GSDMD) has been reported to exert pyroptosis and play a critical role in the pathophysiology of many cardiovascular diseases. We ought to determine the role of GSDMD in the regulation of perfusion recovery after hindlimb ischemia (HLI).

Insight into the relationship between metabolic enzymes and oxadiazon degradation in Oryza sativa for reducing environmental risks.

Oxadiazon (ODZ) is extensively utilized in agricultural fields for weed control owing to its strong effectiveness. However, excessive loading of ODZ in water bodies and agricultural soils can lead to various environmental concerns. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the ODZ metabolic process and associated mechanisms in crops to assess the likelihood of ODZ contamination in the environment.

Uptake, translocation, accumulation, and metabolism of fluroxypyr-meptyl and oxidative stress induction in rice seedling.

Fluroxypyr-meptyl (FLUME) is heterocyclic herbicide with internal absorption and transmission characteristics. Owing to its low cost and rapid efficacy, it has been widely used to control broad-leaved weeds in wheat, corn, and rice fields. However, the uptake, translocation, accumulation, and metabolism of FLUME in rice seedlings and the extent of oxidative stress induced by it remain largely unknown, which consequently restricts the comprehensive risk assessment of FLUME residues in the environment during rice production.

mA demethylase ALKBH5 attenuates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity via posttranscriptional stabilization of Rasal3.

The clinical application of anthracyclines such as doxorubicin (DOX) is limited due to their cardiotoxicity. N6-methyladenosine (mA) plays an essential role in numerous biological processes. However, the roles of mA and mA demethylase ALKBH5 in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) remain unclear.

Gasdermin D mediates endoplasmic reticulum stress via FAM134B to regulate cardiomyocyte autophagy and apoptosis in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Cardiomyocyte pyroptosis and apoptosis play a vital role in the pathophysiology of several cardiovascular diseases. Our recent study revealed that gasdermin D (GSDMD) can promote myocardial I/R injury via the caspase-11/GSDMD pathway. We also found that GSDMD deletion attenuated myocardial I/R and MI injury by reducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis and pyroptosis.

Investigation of the Effects of Large Bone Flap Craniotomy on Cerebral Hemodynamics, Intracranial Infection Rate, and Nerve Function in Patients with Severe Craniocerebral Trauma.

In order to explore the clinical value of large bone flap craniotomy, the effects of standard large bone flap craniotomy on cerebral hemodynamic indexes, incidence of postoperative intracranial infection, and neurological function in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma are investigated. 89 patients with severe craniocerebral trauma admitted from January 2020 to June 2021 are analyzed retrospectively. All patients are divided into a large craniotomy group ( = 45) and control group ( = 44) according to different surgical methods.

Three-Dimensional Reticulated, Spongelike, Resilient Aerogels Assembled by SiC/SiN Nanowires.

For nanofibrous aerogels, a three-dimensional porous structure with interwoven nanofibers as a pore wall has become an urgent demand, and it remains to be a challenge to ensure the mechanical stability and thermal insulation. Other than the reported nanofiber as raw materials to generate three-dimensional cellular nanofibrous aerogels, an alternative low-cost and facile procedure has been proposed here via tactfully utilizing polymer sponge as a template attached with reactive particles, followed by a carbothermal reduction process to realize nanowire growth and their replacement of the original framework. The resulting spongy aerogels with numerous interlaced SiC/SiN nanowires as a skeleton exhibit an ultrahigh porosity of 99.

Gender-Related Differences in Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Premature Coronary Artery Disease: Insight from the FOCUS Registry.

Introduction: Although coronary artery disease (CAD) presentations and clinical outcomes differ by sex, little is known about premature CAD (PCAD). The present analysis aimed to evaluate the gender-related differences of PCAD in an Asian population from the FOCUS registry.

Methods: A total of 1397 Asian young patients with angiographically confirmed CAD undergoing drug-eluting stent implantation were included in this analysis and divided into two groups according to the genders.

Relationship between body mass index and outcomes of coronary artery disease in Asian population: Insight from the FOCUS registry.

Background: Obesity is often considered as a risk factor of cardiovascular events, but recent researches showed conflicting results regarding to the effect of body weight on prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and clinical outcomes of CAD in Asian population.

Methods: A total of 4315 patients from the FOCUS registry were enrolled into this analysis.

Optimal strategy of primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction due to unprotected left main coronary artery occlusion (OPTIMAL): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) caused by left main coronary artery occlusion is associated with significantly higher mortality and risks of major adverse cardiovascular events. Deferred stent implantation may improve prognosis of primary PCI by reducing distal embolization and no-reflow phenomenon. There is no randomized clinical trial focusing on the effect and outcome of deferred stent implantation on primary PCI for left main coronary artery occlusion in contrast with conventional strategy.

Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes in Asian Patients With Premature Coronary Artery Disease: Insight From the FOCUS Registry.

Objectives: Premature coronary artery disease (PCAD) is increasingly common in Asian countries; however, less is known regarding its characteristics and clinical outcomes. This study aims to describe clinical characteristics and investigate clinical outcomes in real-world Asian patients with PCAD.

Methods: A total of 4700 Asian patients undergoing drug-eluting stent implantation were included in our study and divided into PCAD group and mature CAD (MCAD) group according to their onset age.

Biosynthesis of D-glucaric acid from sucrose with routed carbon distribution in metabolically engineered Escherichia coli.

D-glucaric acid is a promising platform compound used to synthesize many other value-added or commodity chemicals. The engineering of Escherichia coli for efficiently converting D-glucose to D-glucaric acid has been attempted for several years, with mixed sugar fermentation recently gaining growing interests due to the increased D-glucaric acid yield. Here, we co-expressed cscB, cscA, cscK, ino1, miox, udh, and suhB in E.

Relationship of serum mannose-binding lectin levels with the development of sepsis: a meta-analysis.

Many studies have evaluated the association between serum levels of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and sepsis; however, the findings are inconclusive and conflicting. For a better understanding of MBL in sepsis, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis. Potential relevant studies were identified covering Science Citation Index, the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and Current Contents Index databases.
