Effects of Pollen Sources on Fruit Set and Fruit Characteristics of 'Fengtangli' Plum ( Lindl.) Based on Microscopic and Transcriptomic Analysis.

Adequate yield and fruit quality are required in commercial plum production. The pollen source has been shown to influence fruit set and fruit characteristics. In this study, 'Siyueli', 'Fenghuangli' and 'Yinhongli' were used as pollinizers of 'Fengtangli' plum.

Transcriptome analysis of Harumi tangor fruits: Insights into interstock-mediated fruit quality.

Harumi tangor fruit with Ponkan as an interstock contains significantly higher levels of total soluble solids compared to Harumi tangor fruit cv.with no interstock. Transcriptome analysis of two graft combinations (Harumi/Hongjv (HP) and cv.

Combined Transcriptome and Metabolome Analyses Reveal Candidate Genes Involved in Tangor () Fruit Development and Quality Formation.

Tangor, an important citrus type, is a hybrid of orange and mandarin and possesses their advantageous characteristics. Fruit quality is an important factor limiting the development of the citrus industry and highly depends on fruit development and ripening programs. However, fruit development and quality formation have not been completely explored in mandarin-orange hybrids.

Retrospective Review of Free Anterolateral Thigh Flaps for Limb Salvage in Severely Injured High-Voltage Electrical Burn Patients.

Background: High-voltage electrical injuries usually cause extensive and devastating damages to the extremities. Timely and effective coverage of the wounds to maximally preserve the viable tissue is important for salvage and the ultimate functional outcome of the involved extremities. In this study, free anterolateral thigh flaps with a single-perforator pedicle were conducted to maximize tissue salvage and decrease late skeletal and neuromuscular complications of the involved extremities injured by high-voltage electricity.

Electrospun mupirocin loaded polyurethane fiber mats for anti-infection burn wound dressing application.

Wound care treatment is a serious issue faced by the medical staffs due to its variety and complexity. Wound dressings are typically used to manage the various types of wounds. In this study, polyurethane (PU) fibers containing mupirocin (Mu), a commonly used antibiotic in wound care, were fabricated via electrospinning technique.

Rotational repair of pressure ulcer using double-perforators based flaps: A report of 11 cases.

National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) stage 3 and 4 pressure ulcers typically require surgical repair with perforator-based flaps and fasciocutaneous flaps. We designed advancement/rotation flaps based on two different perforators originating from two different mother vessels that covered large pressure ulcers without the need for additional skin grafts for donor sites. In this paper, we describe the surgical technique on the use of the advancement/rotation flaps and report the preliminary results of surgical management of 11 cases of pressure ulcers using advancement/rotation flaps.

[Advances in the progress of anti-bacterial biofilms properties of acetic acid].

Bacterial biofilms are considered to be the hindrance in the treatment of chronic wound, because of their tolerance toward antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents. They also have strong ability to escape from the host immune attack. Acetic acid, as a kind of organic weak acid, can disturb the biofilms by freely diffusing through the bacterial biofilms and bacterial cell membrane structure.

Nursing research on a first aid model of double personnel for major burn patients.

This study explored the effect of a first aid model employing two nurses on the efficient rescue operation time and the efficient resuscitation time for major burn patients. A two-nurse model of first aid was designed for major burn patients. The model includes a division of labor between the first aid nurses and the re-organization of emergency carts.

Release of severe post-burn contracture of the first web space using the reverse posterior interosseous flap: Our experience with 12 cases.

We retrospectively assessed outcomes after treating severe contractures of the first web space from burns with the reverse posterior interosseous flaps (RPIF). Twelve consecutive patients (ages 18-58 years) with burns from 10% to 70% (mean, 30.1%) total body surface area and severe contractures of the first web space of the hand (initial thumb to index angles from 10° to 35° [mean, 23°]) underwent contracture release using the RPIF.

Surgical treatment of brachial plexus carcinoma metastasized from non-ipsilateral breast cancer.

Lesions of the brachial plexus may arise for various reasons. Metastatic carcinoma involving the non-ipsilateral brachial plexus is a relatively rare condition. This report presents the case of a 56-year-old woman with brachial plexus carcinoma metastasized from non-ipsilateral breast cancer.

Nonantibiotic therapy for multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a patient with chronic burn wounds.

The authors report a special case of nonantibiotic therapy in a adolescent boy with chronically infected wounds induced by inappropriate use of antibiotics. The result of microbial cultures of the secretions on the wounds indicated that the infection of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa was resistant to aminoglycoside and cephalosporin but sensitive to carbapenem and quinolones. We formulated a management strategy including daily hydrotherapy, thermal radiation therapy, balanced fluid and electrolytes and intermittent transfusion of blood products, but antibiotics were not used.
