Endovascular treatment effect in vertebrobasilar artery occlusion patients with posterior circulation Acute Stroke Prognosis Early CT Score (pc-ASPECTS) <6.

Background: Endovascular treatment (EVT) has revolutionized the standard treatment of vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (VBAO) with moderate infarct core, but its effectiveness in patients with a low posterior circulation Acute Stroke Prognosis Early CT Score (pc-ASPECTS) is unclear. This study aimed to assess EVT effects in VBAO patients with pc-ASPECTS <6.

Methods: This retrospective study enrolled patients with VBAO within 24 hours of the estimated occlusion time at 65 stroke centers in a nationwide registration in China.

Uncovering Availability of the Secondary Iron Resources in China: Integrating Material Flow Analysis and Secondary Resources Reserve Assessment.

As the largest iron and steel producer, China still cannot meet its demand of iron and steel only through domestic primary supply in the last few decades. Hence, secondary iron resources are increasingly significant in meeting China's iron supply and demand balance. However, the secondary iron resource availability in China and how it impacts the future supply demand balance were still insufficiently discussed.

Comprehensive review and comparison on pretreatment of spent lithium-ion battery.

Pretreatment, the initial step in recycling spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), efficiently separates cathode and anode materials to facilitate key element recovery. Despite brief introductions in existing research, a comprehensive evaluation and comparison of processing methods is lacking. This study reviews 346 references on LIBs recycling, analyzing pretreatment stages, treatment conditions, and method effects.

Metabolomics combined with transcriptomics analyses of mechanism regulating testa pigmentation in peanut.

Peanut testa (seed coat) contains large amounts of flavonoids that significantly influence seed color, taste, and nutritional qualities. There are various colors of peanut testa, however, their precise flavonoid components and regulatory mechanism of pigmentation remain unclear. In this study, a total of 133 flavonoids were identified and absolutely quantified in the seed coat of four peanut cultivars with different testa color using a widely targeted metabolomic approach.

The safety and effectiveness of endovascular treatment for patients with vertebrobasilar artery occlusions: according to the BEST and BASICS criteria.

Background: Whether endovascular treatment (EVT) is safe and effective for vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (VBAO) is yet incompletely understood. Two RCTs, the endovascular treatment standard medical treatment for vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (BEST) trail and the Basilar Artery International Cooperation Study (BASICS), concentrating on this field were recently reported.

Objective: We use real-world registry data of VBAO to compare the outcome of EVT inside and outside the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the BEST and BASICS study to testify the feasibility of the selection paradigms of VBAO in these trials.

Integrated Transcriptomics and Metabolomics Analysis Reveal Key Metabolism Pathways Contributing to Cold Tolerance in Peanut.

Low temperature (non-freezing) is one of the major limiting factors in peanut () growth, yield, and geographic distribution. Due to the complexity of cold-resistance trait in peanut, the molecular mechanism of cold tolerance and related gene networks were largely unknown. In this study, metabolomic analysis of two peanut cultivars subjected to chilling stress obtained a set of cold-responsive metabolites, including several carbohydrates and polyamines.
