The effect of childhood trauma on complex posttraumatic stress disorder: the role of self-esteem.

Due to the short time that complex posttraumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) has been an independent diagnosis, few studies have explored the role that self-esteem might play in the relationship between childhood trauma and CPTSD. The current study aimed to explore the impact of childhood trauma on CPTSD and the role of self-esteem in this relationship. Study 1 involved a questionnaire survey in which a total of 360 young Chinese adults with childhood trauma participated.

The clinical significance of renal resistance index (RRI) and renal oxygen saturation (RrSO2) in critically ill children with AKI: a prospective cohort study.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to look into the clinical significance of the renal resistance index (RRI) and renal oxygen saturation (RrSO2) in predicting the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill children. A new non-invasive method for the early detection and prediction of AKI needs to develop.

Methods: Patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) affiliated with the capital institute of pediatrics from December 2020 to March 2021 were enrolled consecutively.

Genome-wide analysis of maize PR-1 gene family and expression profiles induced by plant hormones and fungal phytopathogens.

Objective: In order to find similarity of the protein X in maize with other species we performed a BLASTP search to identify the maize ZmPR-1 family genes.

Methods: We used a BLASTP search to identify the maize ZmPR-1 family genes that may show similarities between the protein X in maize and other species.

Results: A total of 17 ZmPR-1 genes were identified and these genes were unevenly distributed on 8 chromosomes of maize.

Hydrocortisone, ascorbic acid, and thiamine (HAT) for sepsis and septic shock: a meta-analysis with sequential trial analysis.

Background: Sepsis is a primary global health threat and costs a lot, requiring effective and affordable treatments. We performed this meta-analysis to explore the treatment of hydrocortisone, ascorbic acid, and thiamine (HAT) in sepsis and septic shock.

Methods: We searched Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from inception to August 14, 2021.

Genome-wide analysis of Dof transcription factors and their response to cold stress in rice (Oryza sativa L.).

Background: Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a food crop for humans worldwide. However, temperature has an effect during the vegetative and reproductive stages.

Can a Deep-learning Model for the Automated Detection of Vertebral Fractures Approach the Performance Level of Human Subspecialists?

Background: Vertebral fractures are the most common osteoporotic fractures in older individuals. Recent studies suggest that the performance of artificial intelligence is equal to humans in detecting osteoporotic fractures, such as fractures of the hip, distal radius, and proximal humerus. However, whether artificial intelligence performs as well in the detection of vertebral fractures on plain lateral spine radiographs has not yet been reported.

Molecular cloning, identification of GSTs family in sunflower and their regulatory roles in biotic and abiotic stress.

Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) genes exist widely in plants and play major role in metabolic detoxification of exogenous chemical substances and oxidative stress. In this study, 14 sunflower GST genes (HaGSTs) were identified based on the sunflower transcriptome database that we had constructed. Full-length cDNA of 14 HaGTSs were isolated from total RNA by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR).

Expression profile analysis of maize in response to Setosphaeria turcica.

Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), caused by the hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen Setosphaeria turcica, is one of the major foliar diseases of maize. The use of resistant cultivars is the most effective, economical, and environmentally friendly means to control NCLB. At present, the molecular mechanisms of maize resistance to S.
