Background: Basic science research (BSR) publications in general surgical (GS) journals are an important "translational bridge" for practicing surgeons and surgical trainees. The purpose of this study is to characterize the BSR publications in GS journals and to analyze their citation frequencies.
Methods: In 1996, all (224) BSR publications in the five highest rated U.S. GS journals (by impact factor) were reviewed, characterized, and their citation frequencies were compared to BSR publications in non-GS journals.
Results: On average, a BSR publication from these journals is cited 32 times (range 1-141, median 11). Half of the publications were cited more than 10 times in 6 years and 22% were cited twice, or more, within 1 year of publication. One in four publications were cited twice or more in journals with an impact factor greater than five. Citation frequencies of BSR publications in GS journals were related to the journal impact factor (P = 0.07), and to having a basic scientist (i.e., Ph.D.) as one of the authors (P < 0.01). Citation characteristics of BSR publications in GS journals were similar to those of BSR publications in non-GS journals with similar impact factors.
Conclusions: We found that BSR publications in the U.S. GS journals studied had significant citation frequencies.

Molecular identification of a Pm4 allele conferring powdery mildew resistance in durum wheat DR88.
BMC Plant Biol
December 2024
Center for Agricultural Resources Research, Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shijiazhuang, 050022, China.
Article Synopsis
- Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, is a highly destructive disease impacting wheat, particularly affecting common wheat, but durum wheat serves as a key resource for enhancement efforts.* -
- The study identified a durum wheat variety (DR88) with strong resistance to powdery mildew, localizing the dominant resistance gene, PmDR88, to a specific region on chromosome arm 2AL and confirming its association with the Pm4 locus through extensive genotyping.* -
- Despite PmDR88 sharing amino acid sequences with the Pm4d allele, it has distinct expression patterns; two complementary DNA markers were developed for efficient marker-assisted selection to integrate this
A step-by-step procedure for analysing the 16S rRNA-based microbiome diversity using QIIME 2 and comprehensive PICRUSt2 illustration for functional prediction.

Short-read sequencing technology has emerged as a preferred tool to analyse the bacterial composition of a niche by targeting hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene. It targets the short hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene and uncovers the taxonomic profile and their associated pathways. QIIME 2 is preferred and ready-to-use pipelines that perform stepwise analysis of massive short reads of 16S rRNA genes.

College of Life Sciences, Yantai University, Yantai, 264005, China.
Article Synopsis
- Developing wheat resistant to powdery mildew is vital for sustainable agriculture, with the MYC genotype showing strong resistance linked to a recessive gene called PmMYC.
- Genetic analyses revealed that Bgt infection affects gene expression and splicing, implicating key genes in the wheat's immune response.
- The study identified specific genetic regions and candidate genes crucial for resistance, which can aid breeding efforts for more resilient wheat cultivars.
Increased incidence of ischemic stroke in young: A population-based stroke registry study from 2008 to 2018.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed stroke trends in patients under 60 in Brest from 2008 to 2018, concluding that despite a general decrease in incidence among older adults, young people experienced a rising trend in ischemic strokes.
- Among the young demographic, significant risk factors included smoking, hypertension, high-alcohol intake, and dyslipidemia.
- The diagnostic approach predominantly included brain imaging and cardiac monitoring, with a notable portion of ischemic strokes being classified as cryptogenic.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the potential of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, particularly neurogranin and BACE1, to predict cognitive decline in individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) before developing Alzheimer's disease (AD).
- Researchers analyzed data from 530 participants and found that higher levels of neurogranin and its ratio to BACE1 were linked to faster cognitive decline and increased risk of progressing from SCD to mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
- The findings suggest that monitoring neurogranin levels could help in identifying those at greater risk for cognitive decline, potentially aiding in earlier diagnosis and intervention for Alzheimer's disease.
