Accumulation patterns of tobacco root allelopathicals across different cropping durations and their correlation with continuous cropping challenges.

Introduction: Continuous cropping challenges have gradually emerged as pivotal factors limiting the sustainable development of agricultural production. Allelopathicals are considered to be the primary obstacles. However, there is limited information on allelopathic accumulation across various continuous cropping years and its correlation with the associated challenges.

Prenatal features and postnatal follow-up of congenital ventricular outpouching: A retrospective study of two centers in China.

Objectives: Congenital ventricular outpouching (CVO) is a rare cardiac malformation that can manifest as congenital ventricular aneurysm (CVA) and/or congenital ventricular diverticula (CVD). In this study, we describe the prenatal features and postnatal follow-up of 27 cases of CVO.

Methods: The clinical data of 27 patients with CVO who attended Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to the Medical College of Zhejiang University (Zhejiang Province, China) and Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province Affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University (Zhejiang Province, China) from April 2013 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.

Can serum ferritin serve as a biomarker for the prognosis of gynecological malignant tumors? A retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: It is widely accepted that there is a strong relationship between iron levels and cancer. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum ferritin levels and the severity and prognosis of gynecological malignant tumors.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients with gynecological malignant tumors at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from January 2013 to June 2019.

causes recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis by forming morphologically disparate biofilms on the human vaginal epithelium.

Background: Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) is a recalcitrant medical condition that affects many women of reproductive age. The importance of biofilm formation by in RVVC has been recently questioned. This study aimed to elucidate the fundamental growth modes of in the vagina of patients with RVVC or sporadic vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and to assess their roles in the persistence of RVVC.

A novel and rare diverticulum-like adenomyosis: A case report.

Introduction: Cystic adenomyosis is a rare variant of adenomyosis, with only 90 reported cases found in the literature so far. Diverticulum-like adenomyosis is even more uncommon, with only one documented case to date.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 42-year-old asymptomatic woman who had an incidental finding of a parauterine cyst on an abdominal computed tomography scan.

Construction of a nomogram risk prediction model for PICC-related venous thrombosis and its application.

Objective: To explore the risk factors of the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)-related venous thrombosis and correspondingly construct a nomogram risk prediction model.

Methods: The clinical data of 401 patients receiving PICC catheterization in our hospital from June 2019 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The independent influencing factors for venous thrombosis were predicted using logistic regression analysis, and significant indicators were screened to construct a nomogram for predicting PICC-related venous thrombosis.

and Study on the Effect of Lysosome-associated Protein Transmembrane 4 Beta on the Progression of Breast Cancer.

Purpose: Although the effect of lysosome-associated protein transmembrane 4 beta (LAPTM4B) on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of breast cancer (BC) cells has already been studied, its specific role in BC progression is still elusive. Here, we evaluated the effect of different levels of LAPTM4B expression on the proliferation, invasion, adhesion, and tumor formation abilities of BC cells , as well as on breast tumor progression .

Methods: We investigated the influence of LAPTM4B expression on MCF-7 cell proliferation, invasion, adhesion, and tube formation abilities through its overexpression or knockdown and on breast tumor progression .

Pyrolysis, morphology and microwave absorption properties of tobacco stem materials.

The recent development of microwave radiation technology has increased the application possibilities of waste tobacco stems (WTSs). In this study, the morphology and microwave absorption properties of tobacco stem materials as well as the pyrolysis of the resultant biomass (BMTS) were studied via thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), and a vector network analysis (VNA). The results show that the BMTS pyrolysis involves four stages in air: dehydration, heat transfer, pyrolysis, and carbonisation, and it involves three stages in N: moisture evaporation, de-volatilization, and charring.

Quantitative assessment of human uterine fibroid xenograft using sequential in vivo bioluminescence imaging.

Uterine fibroid is one of the most common solid tumors occurring in reproductive age women. Lack of accurate methods for quantitative assessment of uterine fibroid progression severely impedes the basic research and drug screen of this disease. To solve this problem, the correlation between bioluminescence imaging (BLI) and initial cell number used to form xenograft was investigated in this study.

[Genetic study of a fetus with a de novo Xp22.33;Yp11.2 translocation].

Objective: To delineate cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities of a fetus carrying a de novo 46,X,der(X),t(X;Y)(p22.3;p11.2).

B-Myb regulates snail expression to promote epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and invasion of breast cancer cell.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide, which is closely related to metastasis. Recent studies argue that breast cancer cells that have undergone epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) acquire aggressive malignant properties, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this transition are poorly understood. In this study, we found that siRNA-mediated attenuation of B-Myb expression restored E-cadherin expression and cell-cell junction formation in breast cancer cells, suppressing cell invasion, anchorage-independent growth, and tumor formation.

B-myb is a gene implicated in cell cycle and proliferation of breast cancer.

B-myb belongs to the myb family of transcription factors that include A-myb and c-myb. While A-myb and c-myb are tissue-specific, B-myb is broadly expressed in rapidly dividing cells of developing adult mammals. Results of our study showed that increased B-myb expression of was associated with the progression of breast cancer and that B-myb protein levels were significantly elevated in matched metastases.
