Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine the imaging features of hepatic inflammatory pseudotumors (IPTs) associated with IgG4-related and IgG4-unrelated conditions and to enhance the approach toward distinguishing between these two types of IPTs.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, involving 20 patients diagnosed with hepatic IPTs. Imaging procedures were conducted within a timeframe of 4 weeks prior to hepatectomy or biopsy.
Article Synopsis
- Actinidia arguta is a widely distributed species known for its small, smooth fruit, rapid softening, and strong cold tolerance, distinguished from the cultivated Actinidia chinensis.
- Researchers created a detailed genome assembly of A. arguta, which is 2.77 Gb long and organized into 116 pseudo-chromosomes, revealing two distinct geographic groups based on evolutionary divergences.
- The study identified three key genes that contribute to fruit softening and explored the genetic basis of traits related to sexual dimorphism, providing a foundation for future research and agricultural enhancement of this species.
This phase II randomized clinical trial aimed to assess the efficacy and toxicity of Endostar, an antiangiogenesis inhibitor, combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Patients with LACC were randomly assigned to either CCRT plus Endostar (CCRT+E arm) or CCRT alone (CCRT arm). All patients received pelvic intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and brachytherapy.

Materials And Methods: Patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) were enrolled. Pelvic DCE-MRI scans were performed before RT (pre-RT), in the middle of RT (mid-RT), and at the end of RT (post-RT), separately.
The R2R3 MYB genes associated with the flavonoid/anthocyanidin pathway feature two repeats, and represent the most abundant classes of MYB genes in plants; however, the physiological role and regulatory function of most R2R3 MYBs remain poorly understood in kiwifruit (). Here, genome-wide analysis identified 155 R2R3-MYBs in the 'Red 5' version of the genome. Out of 36 anthocyanin-related AccR2R3-MYBs, was the most highly expressed in inner pericarp of red-fleshed kiwifruit.

- Anthocyanins, which give red-fleshed kiwifruit its color, are affected by high temperatures, yet their trafficking in plants hasn't been well researched.
- A study found that temperatures above 25 °C inhibit anthocyanin accumulation in the 'Hongyang' kiwifruit by affecting gene expression related to color formation.
- Cell structure analysis revealed that high temperatures hinder the formation of anthocyanin-related structures in fruit cells, indicating that multiple mechanisms are at play in how heat impacts coloration in red-fleshed kiwifruit.
Premise Of The Study: Expressed sequence tag (EST)-derived microsatellite markers in Actinidia arguta were developed for genotyping and genetic mapping.
Methods And Results: One hundred and fifty EST-simple sequence repeat (SSR) primer pairs were obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) A. chinensis database using SSR Hunter 1.
