A study of the two-body decays B^{±}→X_{cc[over ¯]}K^{±}, where X_{cc[over ¯]} refers to one charmonium state, is reported by the BABAR Collaboration using a data sample of 424 fb^{-1}. The absolute determination of branching fractions for these decays are significantly improved compared to previous BABAR measurements. Evidence is found for the decay B^{+}→X(3872)K^{+} at the 3σ level. The absolute branching fraction B[B^{+}→X(3872)K^{+}]=[2.1±0.6(stat)±0.3(syst)]×10^{-4} is measured for the first time. It follows that B[X(3872)→J/ψπ^{+}π^{-}]=(4.1±1.3)%, supporting the hypothesis of a molecular component for this resonance.

Analysis of the Distribution Pattern and Prophage Types in Asiaticus 'Cuimi' Kumquat.
Plants (Basel)
December 2024
National-Local Joint Engineering Laboratory of Citrus Breeding, Cultivation/Horticulture Research Institute, Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Chengdu 610066, China.
The 'Cuimi' kumquat is a unique citrus cultivar known for its thin, crisp pulp and sweet, aromatic flavor. In addition to its use in fresh consumption and processing, this variety exhibits certain medicinal properties. This study aims to investigate the genetic diversity of the Huanglongbing (HLB) bacterium across different tissues of the 'Cuimi' kumquat, offering a theoretical basis for understanding the HLB epidemic in Dechang County, Sichuan.

Institute of Biostatistics and Registry Research, Brandenburg Medical School Theodor Fontane, Neuruppin, Germany. Electronic address:
Purpose: To contrast breast radiation exposure from chest radiotherapy in 2006-2021 with 1965-1997, and to compare breast cancer (BC) risk 25 years after treatment predicted by two models.
Methods: Radiation dose distributions to the breast from 101 chest radiotherapies given 2006-2021 for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) or other lymphoma in one German and two Dutch hospitals were compared with doses received by 505 Dutch HL patients treated 1965-1997 and sampled into a nested case-control study, weighted to represent a HL patient cohort. Dose-volume histograms, mean dose and doses to 10 breast segments were evaluated.
Causal relationship between immune cells and heart failure: A Mendelian randomization study.
Medicine (Baltimore)
January 2025
The First Clinical College of Chinese Medicine, Hunan University of Chinese Medicine, Changsha, Hunan, China.
This study aimed to evaluate the causal effects of different immune cells on heart failure (HF) using Mendelian randomization (MR). Datasets for immune cell phenotypes and HF were obtained from European Bioinformatics Institute and FinnGen. Then, single nucleotide polymorphisms were screened according to the basic assumptions of MR.

Background: Benign breast disease (BBD) increases breast cancer (BC) risk progressively for women diagnosed with non-proliferative (NP) change, proliferative disease without atypia (PDWA), and atypical hyperplasia (AH). Leveraging data from 18,704 women in the Mayo BBD Cohort (1967-2013), we evaluated temporal trends in BBD diagnoses and how they have influenced associated BC risk over four decades.
Methods: BC risk trends associated with BBD were evaluated using standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and age-period-cohort modeling across four eras-pre-mammogram (1967-1981), pre-core needle biopsy (CNB) (1982-1992), transition to CNB (1993-2001), and CNB era (2002-2013).
Intravenous branched-chain amino acid administration for the acute treatment of hepatic encephalopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
J Intensive Care
January 2025
Showa General Hospital, Kodaira-Shi, Tokyo, 187-8510, Japan.
Background: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a severe complication of acute hepatic failure requiring urgent critical care management. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) such as leucine, isoleucine, and valine have been investigated as potential treatments to improve outcomes in patients with acute HE. However, the effectiveness of BCAA administration during the acute phase remains unclear.
