Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Crucial Role of Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase in Low Temperature Response in .

: is a rare temperate evergreen shrub with high tolerance to low temperature, and understanding the related gene expression regulatory network can help advance research on the mechanisms of plant tolerance to abiotic stress. Here, time-course transcriptome analysis was applied to investigate the gene expression network in under low temperature stress. : A total of 12,606 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified at four time-points during low temperature stress treatment, and multiple pathways, such as plant hormones, secondary metabolism, and cell membranes, were significantly enriched in the DEGs.

Exploring serum -glycome patterns as candidate non-invasive biomarkers in inguinal hernia.

Introduction: Although inguinal hernia (IH) is prevalent in elderly males, research on its specific diagnostic biomarkers is limited. Protein -glycosylation is one of the most important and ubiquitous post-translational modifications and often results in a remarkable heterogeneity of protein glycoforms. Protein -glycosylation often changes in a disease and holds great potential for discovering non-invasive biomarkers.

Association of weight loss strategies with all-cause and specific-cause mortality: a prospective cohort study.

Background: The health effects of different weight loss strategies vary greatly, and the relationship between weight loss strategies, especially the combination of multiple strategies, and death is still unclear. We aimed to examine the associations of various numbers and combinations of weight loss strategies with all-cause and specific-cause mortality and to further evaluate the associations of different total weight loss volumes with mortality.

Methods: Using data from NHANES (1999-2018) with 48,430 participants aged 20 and above, we collected fourteen self-reported weight loss strategies and identified five clusters using latent class analysis.

Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has affected the whole world. Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) has been reported after administration of mRNA- or adenoviral vector-based COVID-19 vaccines, including Ad26.COV2-S, BNT162b2, mRNA-1273, and ChAdOx1 nCov-19.

Seasonal variation of antioxidant bioactive compounds in southern highbush blueberry leaves and non-destructive quality prediction in situ by a portable near-infrared spectrometer.

Blueberry leaves (BBL) are a natural source with strong antioxidant activity, but bioactive compounds and their seasonal variation remain vague. Here, two major classes of compounds including four caffeoylquinic acids and eight flavonoids were identified in two southern highbush cultivars ("Lanmei" #1 and "Jewel") grown in China. Major bioactive compounds were discovered using an online HPLC post-column derivatization system and determined as neochlorogenic acid (NeoCA), chlorogenic acid (CA), rutin, hyperoside, and isoquercitrin.

USP21-mediated G3BP1 stabilization accelerates proliferation and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma via activating Wnt/β-Catenin signaling.

Lacking effective therapeutic targets heavily restricts the improvement of clinical prognosis for patients diagnosed with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 21 (USP21) is dysregulated in plenty of human cancers, however, its potential function and relevant molecular mechanisms in ESCC malignant progression as well as its value in clinical translation remain largely unknown. Here, in vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that aberrant upregulation of USP21 accelerated the proliferation and metastasis of ESCC in a deubiquitinase-dependent manner.

Megalurothrips usitatus (Bagnall) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is an important pest in Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. Neoseiulus barkeri (Hughes) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is widely used for control of pest mites and insects worldwide.

Targeted inhibition of the HNF1A/SHH axis by triptolide overcomes paclitaxel resistance in non-small cell lung cancer.

Paclitaxel resistance is associated with a poor prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, and currently, there is no promising drug for paclitaxel resistance. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the chemoresistance in human NSCLC-derived cell lines. We constructed paclitaxel-resistant NSCLC cell lines (A549/PR and H460/PR) by long-term exposure to paclitaxel.

Silver-Mediated Intermolecular [2 + 2 + 1] Cyclization of Terminal Alkynones with Elemental Selenium: Regioselective Synthesis of 2,4- or 3,4-Dicarbonylselenophenes.

An efficient and atom-economical silver-mediated [2 + 2 + 1] cyclization protocol for the selective synthesis of 2,4- or 3,4-dicarbonylselenophenes has been developed. Readily accessible substrates, commercially available elemental selenium, and good functional group tolerance make this procedure attractive for the selective synthesis of dicarbonylselenophenes. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicated that silver acetylene species are possible intermediates for the formation of 3,4-dicarbonylselenophenes.

Associations of Home-Based Screen Time and Its' Changes With Follow-up Body Mass Index in Chinese Preschool-Aged Children.

This study aimed to explore the associations of screen time (ST) and its' changes with follow-up body mass index (BMI) in preschool children. Parents of 805 preschoolers participated in our study at baseline and were followed up after 1 year in China. Linear regression models were used to analyze the dynamic relationship between ST and BMI in preschool children.

Laparoscopic right hemi-hepatectomy plus total caudate lobectomy for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma via anterior approach with augmented reality navigation: a feasibility study.

Background: Right hemi-hepatectomy plus total caudate lobectomy is the appropriate procedure for type IIIa or partial type II pCCA. However, the laparoscopic implementation of this procedure remains technically challenging, especially hilar vascular dissection and en bloc resection of the total caudate lobe. Augmented reality navigation can provide intraoperative navigation to enhance visualization of invisible hilar blood vessels and guide the parenchymal transection plane.

Silver-Mediated [2 + 2 + 1] Cyclization of -Propioloylbenzonitriles with Elemental Selenium: Synthesis of 4-indeno[1,2-][1,2]selenazol-4-ones.

An efficient silver-mediated [2 + 2 + 1] cyclization protocol of -propioloylbenzonitriles with elemental selenium for the synthesis of 4-indeno[1,2-][1,2]selenazol-4-ones has been developed. One C-Se bond, one N-Se bond, and one C-C bond were rapidly constructed in one step. The reaction might proceed via the formation of a highly reactive selenoketene intermediate, followed by intramolecular cyclization.

Liposomal Silybin Improves Glucose and Lipid Metabolisms in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Complicated with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease via AMPK/TGF-β1/Smad Signaling.

Improving hepatic glucose and lipid metabolisms is an important strategy to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (T2DM-NAFLD). Silybin (SLB) has the potential hepatoprotection, while its oral bioavailability is poor. This study aims to investigate the functional role and mechanism of liposomal SLB in modulating glucose/lipid metabolism in T2DM-NAFLD.

Biomarkers as targets for CAR-T/NK cell therapy in AML.

The most common kind of acute leukemia in adults is acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is often treated with induction chemotherapy regimens followed by consolidation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, some patients continue to develop relapsed or refractory AML (R/R-AML). Small molecular targeted drugs require long-time administration.

Case Report: Long-term survival of a patient with advanced rectal cancer and multiple pelvic recurrences after seven surgeries.

Here, we compared these strategies to provide a clinical basis for selecting an appropriate LSA revascularization method.

[Mechanism of Huangjing Qianshi Decoction in treatment of prediabetic mice based on transcriptome sequencing].

Based on transcriptome sequencing technology, the mouse model of prediabetes treated with Huangjing Qianshi Decoction was sequenced to explore the possible mechanism of treating prediabetes. First of all, transcriptome sequencing was performed on the normal BKS-DB mouse group, the prediabetic model group, and the Huangjing Qianshi Decoction treatment group(treatment group) to obtain differentially expressed genes in the skeletal muscle samples of mice. The serum biochemical indexes were detected in each group to screen out the core genes of Huangjing Qianshi Decoction in prediabetes.
