Drought is a detrimental environmental factor that restricts plant growth and threatens food security throughout the world. WRKY transcription factors play vital roles in abiotic stress response. However, the roles of IIe subgroup members from WRKY transcription factor family in soluble sugar mediated drought response are largely elusive.

Although the functions of WRKY transcription factors in drought resistance are well known, their regulatory mechanisms in response to drought by stabilising photosynthesis remain unclear. Here, a differentially expressed gene that was highly expressed in drought-treated leaves was identified through transcriptome analysis. positively responded to drought stress with significantly enhanced expression patterns and overexpressing in tobacco greatly improved plant tolerance to drought stress, whereas silencing in resulted in a drought-intolerant phenotype.

Objective: To explore the MRI findings of os acromiale and to analyze the relationship between os acromiale and the supraspinatus and infraspinatus injury.

Methods: From January 2010 to August 2020, 21 patients with os acromiale (os arcomiale group) were compared with 21 subjects with no evidence of os acromiale (no os arcomiale group). There were 14 males and 7 females in the os arcomiate group, aged from 29 to 77 years old, mean aged (55.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to identify the imaging characteristics of reactive bursitis caused by osteochondroma, focusing on 14 patients retrospectively reviewed.
  • The patient group consisted of 11 males and 3 females, with ages ranging from 18 to 67 years, and common locations of bursitis included the lesser trochanter and scapula.
  • Imaging results revealed that bursae typically had thick walls, with various features like villous projections and calcifications, and exhibited enhancement on CT and MRI scans, indicating active inflammation.

Graphene oxide (GO) is considered to be an emerging environmental pollutant with its inevitable release into the environment. Thus, its potential environmental risks and biosafety are receiving increased attention. In this study, was exposed to GO under drought stress.

has become an economically important oil crop in recent years, but its growth is seriously affected by drought stress in dry areas. In this study, the alleviating effect of fulvic acid (FA) on potted under natural drought stress was investigated. The natural drought stress adopted in this experiment was mainly characterized by the low soil water content, and the roots of plants cannot absorb enough water to compensate for the consumption of transpiration, which affects the normal physiological activities and causes damage.

The development of a multi-axial failure criterion for trabecular skull bone has many clinical and biological implications. This failure criterion would allow for modeling of bone under daily loading scenarios that typically are multi-axial in nature. Some yield criteria have been developed to evaluate the failure of trabecular bone, but there is a little consensus among them.

Background: To evaluate the efficacy and long-term survival outcomes of complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (C-VATS) for the resection of anatomic pulmonary segments and systematic lymphadenectomy in the treatment of elderly and high-risk patients with stage IB for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: 242 elderly patients (≥65 years), who were operated on by the same operational team, were divided into high-risk group and conventional risk group from August 2008 to December 2010. All patients were diagnosed in stage IB (pT status: >2 to ≤3) NSCLC by biopsy and examination of PET-CT before operation.

Unlabelled: Collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) with a mass of coagulative necrosis is very rare. We report here a case of CDC with extensive geographic coagulative necrosis mimicking anemic infarct with tumor cells embedded around the necrotic foci in a 73-years-old man. Histopathological examination showed that tumor nests near the necrotic foci were arranged as angulated tubules, tubulopapillary and glandular structures.
