is the most famous flavor in China, and its characteristic style is closely related to used in fermentation. However, there are few reports about the difference of quality between seasonal variations. In this study, precipitation and temperature drove changes in microbial communities that resulted in differences in the flavor of produced in different seasons.

Background: An increasing body of evidence suggests that home-based exercise (HBE) therapy has significant therapeutic effects on knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and hip osteoarthritis (HipOA), and it has advantages such as cost savings, strong operability, and good compliance compared with hospitalization and exercise courses.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of HBE in the treatment of KOA and HipOA.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Embase to collect randomized controlled trials.

The deterioration of the quality of raw liquor caused by the low content of ethyl hexanoate in Nongxiangxing baijiu has become a pervasive problem in the baijiu industry. Therefore, this study attempted to increase the synthesis of ethyl hexanoate by microorganisms with high esterase activity to increase Zaopei fermentation. The results showed that biofortification was a feasible and important way to improve the quality of the raw liquor and increase the ethyl hexanoate content.

When solving mathematical problems, young children will perform better when they can use gestures that match mental representations. However, despite their increasing prevalence in educational settings, few studies have explored this effect in touchscreen-based interactions. Thus, we investigated the impact on young children's performance of dragging (where a continuous gesture is performed that is congruent with the change in number) and tapping (involving a discrete gesture that is incongruent) on a touchscreen device when engaged in a continuous number line estimation task.

P/TGMS (Photo/thermo-sensitive genic male sterile) lines are crucial resources for two-line hybrid rice breeding. Previous studies revealed that slow development is a general mechanism for sterility-fertility conversion of P/TGMS in Arabidopsis. However, the difference in P/TGMS genes between rice and Arabidopsis suggests the presence of a distinct P/TGMS mechanism in rice.

The transcription factor forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) is closely related to the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer (OC), however its role and molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Herein, we found that FoxO1 was highly expressed in clinical samples of OC patients and was significantly correlated with poor prognosis. FoxO1 knockdown inhibited the proliferation of OC cells in vitro and in vivo.

Thermosensitive genic female sterility (TGFS) is a promising property to be utilized for hybrid breeding. Here, we identified a rice TGFS line, tfs2, through an ethyl methyl sulfone (EMS) mutagenesis strategy. This line showed sterility under high temperature and became fertile under low temperature.

Background: Breast cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women worldwide. Radiotherapy is an important part of the treatment for breast cancer, while setting proper number of fields dramatically affects the benefits one can receive. Machine learning and radiomics have been widely investigated in the management of breast cancer.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), a type of microorganism widely used in functional foods, has gained notable research attention in recent years. Certain strains possess the proteolytic ability to release potentially antihypertensive peptides from dairy proteins, which prompted us to explore the LAB strains from an understudied and unique ingredient, Daqu. We screened for 67 strains of LAB strains from traditional Daqu using the calcium dissolution ring method.

Article Synopsis
  • The study introduces a new thermosensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) rice line, ostms15, which displays male sterility at high temperatures and fertility at low temperatures, making it a valuable resource for rice breeding.
  • The ostms15 phenotype is linked to a specific gene mutation in OsTMS15 that affects protein interactions necessary for pollen development, showing a stable sterility trait compared to the previously used tms5 line.
  • The research also highlights the potential for using base editing techniques to create various TGMS lines from OsTMS15, which could enhance breeding strategies and the understanding of similar mechanisms in other crops.

Suppressing non-radiative recombination via passivating surface defects of perovskite films has demonstrated an excellent strategy for high-performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, it is still hard to realize both high open-circuit voltage (V ) of >1.2 V and high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of >22%, because the optimized bandgap of perovskite films is less than 1.

A 2.7% tensile strained Ge/SiGe heterostructure nanowire (NW) is in-situ fabricated by a three-dimensional Ge condensation method. The NW metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetector demonstrates an ultra-broadband detection wavelength of 400-2400 nm, showing a high responsivity of >3.

This work designed an ITO/Ag/n-Si Schottky photodetector with broad wavelength detection and low dark current. The introduction of Ag interfacial layer and post rapid thermal annealing dramatically increase the barrier height of ITO/n-Si Schottky diode by 0.32 eV, leading to the 2300 × reduction of dark current.
