Brachiaria Griseb is an important gramineous forage grown in tropical regions, and also a main grass species uses to restore grasslands in tropical and subtropical regions of China. In August 2022, symptoms of leaf blight were observed on nearly 30% of the Brachiaria forage grass in the base of the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences, Hainan, China. Symptomatic leaves initially exhibited small, reddish-brown, round or oval spots on their tips, subsequently expanding in size along the leaf margin, and gradually becoming wilted and dry.

Article Synopsis
  • Coffee has two main species, Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora, with a leaf spot disease affecting C. canephora seedlings in Yunnan, China, from 2018 to 2019, resulting in a disease incidence of 15%-20%.
  • The research involved isolating the pathogen from diseased leaf samples, leading to four similar fungal isolates that grew into identifiable colonies with specific morphological features over time.
  • Koch's postulates confirmed the pathogenicity of the fungus by inoculating healthy plants, which then exhibited the same symptoms as the diseased ones, while control plants remained healthy, indicating the association with the observed leaf spot disease.

Objective: To explore the risk factors of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in patients admitted in an intensive care unit (ICU) for pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).

Methods: The clinical data of 143 patients admitted in the ICU at our center between January, 2014 and June, 2015 were reviewed. The patients with VAP and those without VAP were analyzed for risk factors of VAP in the setting of an ICU for pulmonary TB and compared for the duration of ventilation and hospital stay.

Objective: To investigate the clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods and treatment of X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA).

Methods: Flow cytometric analysis of the peripheral monocytes using the anti-BTK antibody was used to characterize the expression of BTK in a 21 year old male patient and his mother. The patient suffered from frequent pneumonia, and was found to be complicated with lymphocytopenia in the B cell populations, hypogammaglobulinemia (IgG 1.
