  • - The study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteroplasty using either a lingual mucosa graft (LMG) or an appendiceal flap (AF) in treating complex ureteral strictures in 16 patients.
  • - All surgeries were completed successfully without any needing to switch to open surgery, with an average operation time of about 210 minutes and a 100% success rate in addressing the strictures.
  • - The findings suggest that this robotic technique is both safe and effective, and the authors recommend it for wider use in similar surgical cases.

Bladder cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignant neoplasms worldwide. Competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks may identify potential biomarkers associated with the progression and prognosis of BC. The OCT4-pg5/miR-145-5p/OCT4B ceRNA network was found to be related to the progression and prognosis of BC.

Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) is essential for plant growth and development, linking trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) to carbon metabolism. However, little is known about the gene family in peaches and their potential roles in regulating carbohydrates in peach fruit. In this study, nine genes were identified in the peach genome and named according to the homologous genes in .

LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN/ASYMMETRIC LEAVES2-LIKEs (LBDs/ASLs) are plant-specific transcription factors that function downstream of auxin-regulated lateral root (LR) formation. Our previous research found that PpLBD16 positively regulates peach (Prunus persica) LR formation. However, the downstream regulatory network and target genes of PpLBD16 are still largely unknown.

Soil salinity is a major conlinet limiting sustainable agricultural development in peach tree industry. In this study, lipid metabolomic pathway analysis indicated that phosphatidic acid is essential for root resistance to salt stress in peach seedlings. Through functional annotation analysis of differentially expressed genes in transcriptomics, we found that MAPK signaling pathway is closely related to peach tree resistance to salt stress, wherein expression is significantly upregulated.

Nitrogen availability and uptake levels can affect nutrient accumulation in plants. In this study, the effects of valine and urea supplementation on the growth of new shoots, lignin content, and carbon and the nitrogen metabolism of '' were investigated. Relative to fertilization with urea, the application of valine inhibited shoot longitudinal growth, reduced the number of secondary shoots in autumn, and increased the degree of shoot lignification.

Article Synopsis
  • Peach trees are economically important but highly sensitive to drought stress, which severely impacts their growth.
  • Lauric acid (LA) can alleviate this stress by improving photosynthesis, reducing oxidative damage, and increasing osmoregulatory substances in drought-stressed peach seedlings.
  • RNA sequencing revealed that LA influences the expression of numerous genes linked to various stress response pathways, enhancing the overall drought resistance of the plants.

Article Synopsis
  • HD-Zip (Homeodomain-Leucine Zippers) transcription factors are crucial for plant growth but haven't been thoroughly studied in peaches, particularly during root formation in cuttings.
  • The research identified 23 PpHDZ genes located on 6 chromosomes, categorized them into 4 subfamilies, and analyzed their expression in different tissues and during root development.
  • The study highlights the importance of PpHDZs in root formation, contributing to the understanding of peach HD-Zip gene functions and classifications.

Background: Centrosomal protein 55 (CEP55) is implicated in the tumorigenesis of bladder cancer (BC) but the detailed molecular mechanisms are unknown. We aim to develop a potential competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network related with CEP55 in BC.

Methods: We first extracted the expression profiles of RNAs from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and used bioinformatic analysis to establish ceRNAs in BC.

Water shortage is a key factor that can restrict peach tree growth. Plants produce fatty acids and the fatty acid derivatives lauric acid (LA) and 12-hydroxylauric acid (LA-OH), which are involved in abiotic stress responses, but the underlying stress response mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, physiological examination revealed that in (L.

Nitrogen is an important nutrient element that limits plant growth and yield formation, but excessive nitrogen has negative effects on plants and the environment. It is important to reveal the molecular mechanism of high NUE (nitrogen use efficiency) for breeding peach rootstock and variety with high NUE. In this study, two peach rootstocks, Shannong-1 (S) and Maotao (M), with different NUE were used as materials and treated with 0.

Plants suffer from a variety of environmental stresses during their growth and development. The evolutionarily conserved sucrose nonfermenting kinase 1-related protein kinase 1 (SnRK1) plays a central role in the regulation of energy homeostasis in response to stresses. In plant cells, autophagy is a degradation process occurring during development or under stress, such as nutrient starvation.

Sucrose nonfermenting-1-related protein kinase 1 (SnRK1) is a central integrator of plant stress and energy starvation signalling pathways. We found that the -overexpression (OE) roots had a higher respiratory rate and tolerance to waterlogging than the -RNAi roots, suggesting that plays a positive role in the regulation of anaerobic respiration under waterlogging. upregulated the activity of anaerobic respiration-related enzymes including hexokinase (HK), phosphofructokinase (PFK), pyruvate kinase (PK), pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).
