Introduction: In clinical practice, the dose of bivalirudin may not be fully applicable to the Chinese population. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of a reduced dose (80% of the recommended dose) of bivalirudin without post-procedure infusion for 3-4 h in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study.
Objective: To analyze the clinical efficacy of long-term statin therapy following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in patients with acute type B aortic dissection (ATBAD).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 645 patients treated between January 2005 and June 2022, dividing them into Statin Group (n=330) and Non-statin Group (n=315) based on whether they received long-term postoperative statin therapy. Patients were further categorized based on median admission low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels into High and Low LDL-C Groups to assess the effect of statins on the prognosis of ATBAD patients after TEVAR.
Background: Seed shattering (SS) negatively impacts seed yield in Psathyrostachys juncea. Understanding and improving the SS trait requires elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of SS and identifying the key genes involved.
Results: This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the abscission zone (AZ) structures at four developmental stages in two P.
Developing highly efficient electrocatalysts to produce syngas with a stable hydrogen/carbon monoxide (H/CO) ratio in a wide potential window via electrochemical carbon dioxide (CO) reduction is desperately required but still challenging. Herein, a dual-atomic site on boron, nitrogen-codoped carbon nanotubes (BCN) has been designed, containing both cobalt (CoN) and nickel (NiNB) sites. Benefiting from the structure advantage and the bifunctional Co/Ni sites, such designed catalyst (CoNi-BCN) demonstrates remarkable performance for syngas production, achieving a stable H/CO ratio of 1.

Highly stretchable, adhesive and conductive triblock hydrogel was synthesized and utilized as a flexible and stable bioelectrocatalytic sensing layer of enzyme-based amperometric glucose biosensor. The hydrogel was prepared through one-pot polymerization of 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid, methacrylamide, and hydroxyethyl methacrylate. The physical and chemical properties of the hydrogel were characterized with X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques.

This paper provides a comprehensive description of the morphological characteristics of the developmental stages (larva, protonymph, deutonymph, and adult) of Amblyseius herbicolus (Chant, 1959) and Amblyseius lentiginosus Denmark & Schicha, 1974. Both species used were sourced from laboratory-reared colonies fed with the dried fruit mite Carpoglyphus lactis (L.) (Acari: Carpoglyphidae).

This study investigated the phototactic responses and oviposition preferences of seven phytoseiid species of proven or potential importance in biocontrol: Amblydromalus limonicus (Garman & McGregor), Amblyseius herbicolus (Chant), Amblyseius lentiginosus Denmark and Schicha, Neoseiulus barkeri Hughes, Neoseiulus cucumeris (Oudemans), Neoseiulus womersleyi (Schicha), and Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot. We hypothesized that these phytoseiid predators use light as a cue, with their phototactic behavior aligning with their respective lifestyles.

Nonetheless, severe anode self-corrosion and discharge product accumulation can cause the actual discharge performance to be lower than the theoretical value. In this study, glucuronolactone (GLD), an additive with the ability to complex Mg, is utilized to construct a new solvated sheath and to reconfigure the hydrogen-bonding network to reduce the activity of free water.

Objective: To compare the results of invasive prenatal diagnosis and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) and explore the underlying mechanism.
Methods: Clinical data of pregnant women undergoing PGT and invasive prenatal diagnosis at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2019 to December 2022 were collected. The results of PGT and invasive prenatal diagnosis were compared, and the outcomes of pregnancies were followed up.
Melanoma is a highly aggressive form of skin cancer with a rapidly increasing incidence. New strategies are urgently needed for treating advanced melanoma which is closely linked to metastasis and often results in death. The Src-ERK signaling axis contributes significantly to both cell growth and metastasis.
