Objective: To provide theoretical evidences for the identification and selective breeding of different major varieties of Rehmannia glutinosa by comparing their leaf characters such as the shapes, non-glandular hairs and the size and density of stomata.

Method: The length, width and the ratio of the length to the width of leaves were measured, and the density and length of the non-glandular hair, the density, size and density of the stomata in the epidermis were measured by scanning electron microscope.

Result: The results showed that there were obvious differences in length, width and the ratio of the length to the width of leaves, the density and length of the non-glandular hair, the density and size of the stomata in the epidermis.

Conclusion: The morphological characters of the leaves mentioned above may serve as the identification standards of major varieties of R. glutinosa.

Background: This study aimed to assess the histological and radiographic effects of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) as a direct pulp capping (DPC) agent in immature permanent dog premolars.

Methods: A split-mouth design was employed with three healthy 4-month-old Mongrel dogs, each having 36 premolars. The premolars were randomly assigned to either SHMP or MTA.

Background: Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA) occurs at the intersection of Alzheimer's disease and vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). In the human brain it occurs when amyloid beta (Aβ) aggregates in small/medium-sized cerebral blood vessels, which contribute to hypoperfusion and cognitive decline by altering vascular function and integrity. The current study seeks to track the progression of CAA and associated neuroinflammation and glial cell changes in Tg2576 mice.

Background: PhospholipaseC γ2 (PLCG2) is known to have direct link with genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's like dementia (AD). PLCG2 has been previously demonstrated to have association with Aß uptake through microglia. And mostly expressed in dentate gyrus (DG) network of hippocampus.

Introduction: The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) is the most vulnerable ligament in ankle sprains. Most patients recover after this injury with conservative treatment, while 20%-40% progress to chronic ankle instability that requires surgical stabilization. Conventional MRI does not provide a comprehensive image of the ATFL.

For sustainable genetic improvement of crops like sorghum, assessing genetic variability and knowing the nature and extent of the association between grain yield and yield-related traits is a prerequisite. However, there needs to be sufficient information about the genetic variability study as well as yield-related trait correlation and path coefficient analysis for sorghum accessions, especially those from southern Ethiopia. Hence, this field experiment assessed genetic variability, determined the nature and extent of phenotypic-genetic correlation, and analyzed the path coefficients among 17 quantitative traits.
