Multistage plate subduction plays a crucial role in magmatism; however, the mechanisms by which deep geodynamic processes govern volcanism in the Alaska subduction zone remain controversial. Using numerous travel-time data from several seismic arrays, we constructed high-resolution tomographic models to investigate the velocity structure of the Pacific Plate and Yakutat slab. Our tomographic results revealed high-velocity anomalies in the Pacific Plate and Yakutat slab, while the low-velocity areas within the Pacific Plate were identified as slab tears.

Article Synopsis
  • Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an RNA virus that causes significant economic losses in livestock, necessitating effective vaccination and viral monitoring.
  • This study evaluates the preclinical effectiveness of two mRNA vaccine candidates against BVDV in mice, guinea pigs, and goats, comparing their results to a standard inactivated vaccine.
  • The mRNA vaccines demonstrated better antibody responses, particularly the capped RNA version, while keeping the animals healthy, indicating promising safety and efficacy for future BVDV immunization strategies.

Within the genus , species exhibiting brownish basidiomata present considerable challenges in identification due to similar coloration. This study underscores the significance of pileipellis types and cheilocystidia characteristics as critical in delimiting brownish species. To clarify the principal taxonomic characters and their utility in distinguishing between brownish species, a morphological taxonomy and phylogenetic analysis were performed.

The first occurrence of and in the Chinese mycobiota are reported, and , two new species and , a new combination, revealed by phylogenetic analyses and morphological study. These newly-recorded genera, , which can be distinguished by their agaricoid basidiomata, dark-coloured stipe, sarcodimitic tramal structure, stipitipellis with yellow to yellowish-brown pigments and yellow-pigmented thick-walled caulocystidia and , which differs from other genera of Porotheleaceae by its pruinose stipe, decurrent lamellae, inamyloid basidiospores and absence of hymenial cystidia. We also formally describe three other new species of Porotheleaceae collected from Chinese temperate to subtropical zones of Fujian and Zhejiang Provinces: , and .

The economic impact of fruit cracking in pomegranate products is substantial. In this study, we present the inaugural comprehensive analysis of transcriptome and metabolome in the outermost pericarp of pomegranate fruit in bagging conditions. Our investigation revealed a notable upregulation of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with the calcium signaling pathway (76.

BACKGROUND The incidence of placenta accreta spectrum disorder (PAS) has been increasing in past decades, and women with PAS are a high-risk maternal population. This study aimed to explore the performance of Bakri intrauterine balloon tamponade (IUBT) in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), among those with and without PAS. MATERIAL AND METHODS The outcomes of 198 women who underwent treatment for PPH using IUBT were retrospectively analyzed.

Objective: To explore the efficacy of interventional closure therapy in young patients with cryptogenic stroke and coexisting patent foramen ovale and analyze its impact on serum fibrinogen and D-dimer levels.

Methods: All subjects in this study were young stroke patients with PFO. After excluding patients who did not meet the inclusion criteria, they were registered and divided into two groups based on the treatment method: the closure group and the medical group.

is an economically valuable tree worldwide. The species has nearly become extinct during the Quaternary, which has likely resulted in reduction of its genetic variability. The genetic variability is now conserved in few natural populations in China and a number of cultivars that are, however, derived from a few ancient trees, helping the species survive in China through medieval times.

Poly(amide-imide) (PAI), serving as a synthetic polymer, has been widely used in industry for excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance and high thermal stability. However, lack of suitable cell niche and biological activity limited the further application of PAI in biomedical engineering. Herein, silicon modified L-phenylalanine derived poly(amide-imide) (PAIS) was synthesized by introducing silica to L-phenylalanine derived PAI to improve physicochemical and biological performances.

Minqin County is located in the Shiyang River Basin. As a typical arid area, it is eroded by the Badain Jaran and Tengger Desert all year round, and knowledge of the fungal diversity in this area is limited. Therefore, fungal community structure and distribution in the soil of the artificial forest, desert transition zone, farmland, and desert were investigated using amplicon sequencing of the fungal ITS gene.

is a relatively small genus containing only 62 previously identified species. Here, we describe six new taxa of based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses: , and and a new record taxon to China. The first Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of a three-gene dataset (ITS, LSU, and ) separated the genus into 18 weakly to strongly supported major clades and subclades, but only a few subclades were synapomorphies.

Rationale: This study aims to investigate the characteristics of pregnancy complicated with aortic dissection (AD), diagnosis and treatment plan, and maternal and infant outcomes.

Patient Concerns: Two pregnant women suffered persistent back pain were admitted to Hubei Maternal and Child Health Hospital from December 2019 to December 2020.

Diagnosis: Pregnant women with chest and back pain and especially hypertension should be highly suspected of AD.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the number of genome copies (haploids vs. diploids) affects flavonoid production in Ginkgo biloba leaves.
  • Researchers found that haploids had smaller leaves and lower flavonoid contents compared to diploids, with significant differences observed in gene and protein expression.
  • The analysis revealed that haploids had 46.8% of differentially expressed genes upregulated and 42.1% of differentially expressed proteins downregulated, particularly affecting key genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis.
