Evolutionary and phylogenetic analyses of 11 species based on the complete chloroplast genome.

The subgenus , one of the most important groups in the genus , comprises over 100 species; however, the taxonomic classification and phylogenetic relationships of remain controversial. Therefore, it is necessary to reconstruct the phylogenetic tree for known species. Here, we report the chloroplast (cp) genome sequences of 11 species to provide insight into evolution of the plastome.

Comparative transcriptome and metabolome analyses of cherry leaves spot disease caused by .

is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen with a broad host range that causes widespread and devastating disease in sweet cherry (). We selected a resistant cultivar (RC) and a susceptible cultivar (SC) of cherry and used a combined physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic approach to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the plant's resistance to , of which little is known. We found that infection stimulated the outbreak of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cherry.

Changing Effects of Minimally Invasive Surgical Intervention on ALT, AST, and UA in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome.

Background: This study aims at exploring the effect of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) on the liver and kidney function indexes of patients and analyze the changes in these indexes after minimally invasive surgery.

Method: Patients with OSAHS ( = 51) who were diagnosed via polysomnography (PSG) and received minimally invasive surgery in the sleep disorders diagnosis and treatment center of the West China Fourth Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2017 to January 2019 were selected as test subjects and placed in the OSAHS group. At the same time, 79 healthy people with no snoring or breathing difficulties were selected from the medical examination center of the hospital as the control group (tested as normal by PSG).

[Studies on apoptosis and caspase-8 and caspase-9 expressions of bone marrow cells in chronic mountain sickness].

Objective: To observe the expressions of caspase-8 and caspase-9 mRNA, and explore the changes of apoptosis of bone marrow hematopoietic cells in patients with chronic mountain sickness (CMS).

Methods: Of 18 CMS patients and 16 controls were enrolled in this study. The apoptotic index (AI) of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC) was measured by TUNEL technique, the levels of caspase-8 and caspase-9 mRNA in BMMNC of CMS patients and controls were determined by RT-PCR.
