Article Synopsis
  • - Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown promise in treating Lynch syndrome-associated colorectal and endometrial cancers, but their effectiveness combined with chemotherapy for Lynch syndrome-associated urothelial carcinoma (UC) is still uncertain.
  • - A specific case of a patient with recurrent and metastatic Lynch syndrome-associated UC demonstrated a sustained positive response to a combination of a PD-1 inhibitor and chemotherapy for over 31 months, with manageable side effects.
  • - The study suggests that the status of dMMR/MSI and PD-1 expression in UC could serve as useful indicators for predicting how well patients might respond to PD-1-targeted immunotherapy, warranting further investigation in clinical trials.

We examined the physiological response of 1-year-old branches of 37 Xinjiang wild walnut germplasm resources in Gongliu wild walnut forest under cold temperatures (-20 ℃ and 4 ℃) for 12 hours, compared the responses with that of . The relative conductivity (REC), free proline (PRO), soluble sugar (SS), malondialdehyde (MDA) content and peroxidase (POD) activity were measured in an artificial climate chamber by simulating spring low temperature. Subordinate function and principal component analysis were used to evaluate the physiological response of walnut germplasm to low temperature.

Background: A recent study on early onset Parkinson's disease (PD) revealed that NUS1 is a risk gene for PD. Clinically, essential tremor (ET) is closely related to PD. In this study, we aimed to detect NUS1 variants and assess the effect of those variants on patients with ET.

We conducted laboratory experiments to determine the lethal temperatures of the shoots of dried Bryum argenteum and to determine how this restoration species responds to extreme environments. We specifically assessed changes in gene expression levels in the shoots of dried B. argenteum plants that were subjected to sudden heat shock (control (20 ± 2°C), 80°C, 100°C, 110°C or 120°C) followed by exposure to heat for an additional 10, 20, 30 or 60 min.

Since phylogenetic data provide the evolutionary history of the species and traits are the result of adaptation to the environmental conditions, joint analysis of these two aspects and ecological data may illuminate that how ecological processes affect the evolution of species and assembly of communities. In this study, we compared the community structure of sibling communities in order to illuminate the influence of environmental variability. We chose different Calligonum communities as research subjects which grow in active sand dunes and stabilized sand fields.

In order to test whether 18S rDNA can influence positively xylanase gene effective expression in the yeast of Candida utilis, a targeting vector pGLR9K-XA was constructed by adding an interested gene xynA from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis into the vector pGLR9K which is constructed by ourselves. pGLR9K contains the 18S rDNA, GAP promoter and CYH resistance gene sequence, all of which is from C. utilis.
