Research has shown that performance on the Assessment of Basic Learning Abilities (ABLA) test correlates with language assessments for persons with developmental disabilities. This study investigated whether performance on ABLA Level 6, an auditory-visual discrimination, predicts performance on a receptive language task with persons with severe developmental disabilities. Five participants who passed ABLA Level 6, and five who failed ABLA Level 6, were each tested on five 2-choice discriminations that required them to point to pictures of common objects after hearing their names. Four of the five participants who had failed ABLA Level 6 failed all of the receptive name recognition tasks. All five participants who had passed ABLA Level 6 passed all of the name recognition tasks. The practical implications of these results are discussed.

Nitidine Chloride Alleviates Hypoxic Stress via PINK1-Parkin-Mediated Mitophagy in the Mammary Epithelial Cells of Milk Buffalo.

Article Synopsis
- Hypoxia in mammary gland epithelial cells of milk buffalo negatively impacts milk production and health, leading to metabolic diseases.
- Nitidine chloride (NC), a natural antioxidant, has been studied for its potential protective effects against hypoxic stress in BMECs, showing significant reductions in cell activity, oxidative stress, and apoptosis.
- The study suggests that NC may regulate cellular processes and amino acid metabolism to mitigate the effects of hypoxia, supporting its potential use in enhancing milk production in buffalo.

Fermented rose petals are a traditional delicacy of the Dali Bai community in Yunnan, China. Fermentation enhances the quality and nutritional value of roses, as well as their efficacy, by increasing the levels of phenolic compounds. This study aimed to investigate the significant variations in four active compounds throughout the traditional fermentation process.

Salt stress is one of the major abiotic stresses that limits plant growth and development. The MYB transcription factor family plays essential roles in plant growth and development, as well as stress tolerance processes. In this study, the cDNA of the 84K poplar ( × ) was used as a template to clone the full length of the gene fragment, and transgenic poplar lines with overexpression (OX) or inhibited expression (RNAi, RNA interference) were cultivated.
