Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) sedimentation volume has long been used to characterize wheat flours and meals with the aim of predicting processing and end-product qualities. In order to survey the influence of low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GSs) at Glu-B3 locus on wheat SDS sedimentation volume, a total of 283 wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties including landraces and improved and introduced cultivars were analyzed using 10 allele-specific PCR markers at the Glu-B3 locus. The highest allele frequency observed in the tested varieties was Glu-B3i with 21.9% in all varieties, 21.1% in landraces, 25.5% in improved cultivars, and 12% in introduced cultivars. Glu-B3 locus represented 8.6% of the variance in wheat SDS sedimentation volume, and Glu-B3b, Glu-B3g, and Glu-B3h significantly heightened the SDS sedimentation volume, but Glu-B3a, Glu-B3c, and Glu-B3j significantly lowered the SDS sedimentation volume. For the bread-making quality, the most desirable alleles Glu-B3b and Glu-B3g become more and more popular and the least desirable alleles Glu-B3a and Glu-B3c got less and less in modern improved cultivars, suggesting that wheat grain quality in China has been significantly improved through breeding effort.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder with synovial inflammation of joints and extra articular manifestations. The results of recent researches consider the relationship between microbiota and the immune system as a double-edged sword. Considering that the relationship between the composition of intestinal microbiota and the immunological and clinical status of the body has been confirmed, it is very important to investigate the effect of each genus and species of bacteria on the state of the immune system.

Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics of 57 patients diagnosed with anti-glycyl tRNA synthetase (anti-EJ) positive antisynthetase syndrome (ASS), a subtype of anti-glycyl tRNA positive ASS, complicated by interstitial lung disease (ILD), and to investigate the factors asso-ciated with ILD recurrence.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 57 anti-EJ positive ASS patientswho were treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2024. The data collected included demographic information, clinical characteristics, laboratory test results, chest CT findings, and pulmonary function tests.

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric disorder characterized by restricted energy intake, intense fear of weight gain, and body image disturbances. It predominantly affects adolescent females, with rising prevalence, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. AN leads to multiple medical complications, including cardiovascular issues such as bradycardia, which may result from malnutrition, electrolyte disturbances, and myocardial atrophy.

Introduction: Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) occur at a rate of 1-2% in primary arthroplasties and 4% in revisions, posing a significant healthcare challenge. PJI diagnosis is hindered by absence of a universally accepted diagnostic standard. The primary outcome was to develop a predictive model to identify patients at risk of developing unforeseen PJI subsequent to presumed aseptic revision of total hip arthroplasty (THA).
