In search of a time saving concept for verifying a neonatal allo-immune thrombocytopenia (NATP) we tested the suitability of a solid phase platelet assay for antibodies (ab) which might induce NATP. Compared to PSIFT the test is equally appropriate for the detection of platelet specific and HLA ab. Using maternal, paternal, P1A1 neg. and random platelets the test gives quick answers to: a) is one dealing with a NATP? b) is anti-P1A1 involved?

Knowledge of the impact of chemicals on the environment is important for assessing the risks that chemicals can generate in ecosystems. With the help of pilot-scale micro-tests, it was possible to evaluate the biological sludge in terms of its chemical and biological composition, information that can be applied on an industrial scale in treatment plants. The important parameters analyzed in the evaluation of the biodegradability of wastewater were pH, chemical composition (NH, NO, NO, and PO), dry substance (DS), inorganic substance (IS), and organic substance (OS), and the biological oxygen demand (BOD)/chemical oxygen consumption (COD) ratio.

Background: WRKY transcription factors are plant-specific and play essential roles in growth, development, and stress responses, including reactions to salt, drought, and cold. Despite their significance, the WRKY genes in the wild sweet potato ancestor, Ipomoea pes-caprae, remain unexplored.
Results: In this study, 65 WRKY genes were identified in the I.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effect of quercetin (QUE) on scleral remodeling by inhibiting the PERK-EIF2α signaling pathway and to evaluate its potential role in slowing myopia.
Methods: Lens-induced myopia (LIM) guinea pigs were obtained and treated with QUE. After 4 and 6 weeks of treatments, ocular biological measurements were conducted.

Aluminum (Al) and cadmium (Cd) often coexist in the acidic soils of southern China, but their interactive effects remain unclear. In this study, this was examined in Al-resistant (Atlas 66) and Al-sensitive (Scout 66) wheat cultivars. The results showed that Al significantly alleviated the root growth of Al-tolerant Atlas 66 under Cd stress but had no effect on the root growth of Al-sensitive Scout 66 or the shoot growth of both cultivars.

Boron (B) is an important limiting factor for plant growth and yield in saline soils, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we found that appropriate B supply obviously complemented rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) growth under salinity accompanied by higher biomass production and less reactive oxygen species accumulation.
