Identification and characterization of Pestalotiopsis-like fungi related to grapevine diseases in China.

Pestalotiopsis-like fungi are an important plant pathogenic genus causing postharvest fruit rot and trunk diseases in grapevine in many countries. Pestalotiopsis-like fungi diseases were studied in vineyards in nine provinces across China. Multi-gene (ITS, β-tubulin and tef1) analysis coupled with morphology showed that a Neopestalotiopsis sp.

Ischemic stroke associated with immune thrombocytopenia.

The objective of this study was to review all cases in literature in which the clinical manifestations of ischemic stroke and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) were presented in the same patient including a new case of our own and discuss the possible mechanism and management of this syndrome. We reviewed 12 reports in which 18 cases were diagnosed as ischemic stroke and ITP. The clinical manifestations and ischemic lesion patterns of the 18 cases and our new case were analyzed in detail to elucidate the characteristics and management of this kind of syndrome.

[The relationship between RACK1 expression and clinicopathologic information of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma].

Objective: To investigate the expression and relationship of receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) and clinical characteristics in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

Methods: Western Blotting was conducted to detect the RACK1 expression in ESCC cell lines. Immunohistochemistry was performed to assay the expression of RACK1 and Ki67 in tumor tissues and adjacent normal epithelium from 113 ESCC patients in tissue microarray.

(4-Bromo-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)(2,6-difluoro-phen-yl)methanone.

There are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(12)H(9)BrF(2)N(2)O. They have very similar conformations: the dihedral angles between their pyrazole and benzene ring systems are 78.4 (3) and 78.
