is a globally important legume cash crop, which can carry out symbiotic nitrogen fixation with rhizobia. The presence of suitable rhizobia in cultivating soils is crucial for legume cropping, especially in areas beyond the plant-host native range, where soils may lack efficient symbiotic partners. We analyzed the distribution patterns and traits of native rhizobia associated with in soils of Yunnan, where the common bean experienced a recent expansion.

Clinical data of traceable patients with AML/MDS after myeloablative allo-HSCT in our centre between January 2010 and June 2021, who experienced disease relapse after the transplantation, were collected. The patients were divided into the HLA loss relapse group and the non-HLA loss relapsed group based on HLA loss gene test findings by next-generation sequencing.

Previous phylogenetic studies of Lamiinae showed that this subfamily was monophyletic, but the relationship between the tribes of Lamiinae is still controversial. Partial molecular data and species morphological characteristics are not sufficient to resolve species phylogenetic studies perfectly.

Their phylogenetic relationships were refined on representative strains using sequence analyses of 16S rRNA genes, housekeeping genes (, , ) and symbiosis genes (, and ). The 219 rhizobial isolates were classified into 13 IGS types, and twenty representatives were defined within eight genospecies: covering 5 IGS types (75.

There is an urgent need to improve laboratory safety management's effectiveness further, enhance laboratory accident prevention ability, and reduce the occurrence of accidents.
Method: Based on the accident causation theory, this paper uses the accident analysis path of 24Model and the logical idea of WBA (Why-Because-Analysis) to statistically analyze the causative factors of 64 typical college laboratory fire and explosion accidents and find out the defects of current college laboratory management.
Pyopneumothorax with bronchopleural fistula is a rare complication of lung infection. We herein report a case of pyopneumothorax with bronchopleural fistula caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis infection, a common pathogenic pathogen of periodontitis, in a 49-year-old man with periodontitis. The patient was admitted with respiratory failure.

We analyzed the distribution patterns and traits of native rhizobia associated with L. in soils of Hebei Province, a region that has recently experienced an expansion of pea production in China.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship of MALT1 with disease features, treatment outcome, as well as its effect on Th1/2/17 cell differentiation and underlying molecule mechanism in RA.
Methods: Totally 147 RA patients were enrolled.
Genetic diagnostic methods for evaluation of chimerism after HSCT, such as STR-PCR and XY-FISH, have limited sensitivity. When donor chimerism is in the micro range (< 1%), deviations in the accuracy of assessment are the most significant disadvantage of these common methods. We developed a highly sensitive method that applies SNPs based on NGS in order to explore the value of donor cell microchimerism in microtransplantation (MST).

Objective: To analyze and compare the effects of leukapheresis on hemostatic function in patients with hyperleukocytic leukemia.
Methods: A total of 139 patients with AML, ALL and CML who underwent leukapheresis from June 2009 to February 2020 and did coagulation test before and after operation were included in this study. The clearance efficiency of each group and the difference among three groups were evaluated, as well as hemostatic function including platelet counts, coagulation indicators, CDSS score and incidence of adverse events.
Patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) often show resistance to chemotherapy and have dismal outcomes. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new treatment strategies to address this problem. With tremendous achievement of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) therapy against B-cell malignancies, many efforts have been devoted to developing CAR-T therapy for R/R AML but with limited success, in part owing to a lack of specific targets.

Different from the traditional electrochemical reduction of nitro to nitroso, the nitro group directly underwent a cyclization reaction with the alkyne activated by selenium cation generated by the anodic oxidation of diphenyl diselenide and finally produced the desired products.

Environmental pollution by heavy metal ions, organic pollutants, oils, pesticides or dyes is a ubiquitous problem adversely affecting human health and environmental ecology. Development and application novel adsorbents in full-scale treatment systems with effectiveness properties could effective ways to facilitate the extraction and adsorption of environment pollutants from wastewater. Graphene materials have drawn much attention due to their extraordinary electron mobilities, high surface areas, good thermal conductivities, and excellent mechanical properties.

The results show that CsPbBr PNCs could achieve fast halide exchange with Cl in the aqueous phase under magnetic stirring at pH = 1, accompanied by a significant wavelength blue shift and vivid fluorescence color changes from green to blue. Therefore, a fluorescence wavelength shift-based colorimetric sensing of Cl based on the halide exchange of CsPbBr PNCs has been developed to realize the rapid detection of Cl in sweat.

However, the mechanisms underlying atRAL-induced photoreceptor loss remain elusive. Here, we report that atRAL activates c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling at least partially through reactive oxygen species production, which promoted mitochondria-mediated caspase- and DNA damage-dependent apoptosis in photoreceptor cells.

Exposure of cells to cadmium may cause DNA damage, decrease DNA repair capacity, and increase genomic instability. MATERIAL AND METHODS The present study investigated the effects of BOK on the toxicity of cadmium chloride (CdCl₂) to human bronchial epithelial (16HBE) cells.
