Green foxtail [Setaria viridis (L.) P.Beauv.] is a troublesome grass weed that is widely distributed in maize (Zea mays L.) fields across China. Many populations of S. viridis have evolved resistance to the acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicide nicosulfuron. The objectives of this research were to confirm nicosulfuron resistance in these populations and to investigate the basis of nicosulfuron resistance. Whole-plant dose-response experiments showed 6 out of 13 S. viridis populations were highly resistance (20-30 times) to nicosulfuron. Sequencing of the ALS gene revealed two amino acid mutations, Asp-376-Glu and Pro-197-Ala, in the nicosulfuron-resistant populations. A malathion pretreatment study revealed that the R376 and R197 subpopulations might have cytochrome P450s-mediated herbicide metabolic resistance. The resistant populations were cross-resistant to imazethapyr but sensitive to topramezone and quizalofop-p-ethyl. This is the first report of resistance to ALS inhibitors conferred by target site mutations (Asp-376-Glu or Pro-197-Ser) and possible cytochrome P450s-involved metabolism in S. viridis.

Background: Universal lipid screening in childhood for early detection and treatment of familial hypercholesterolemia is under discussion, but will also detect children with multifactorial dyslipidemia. Results from population-based studies can support the design of public health strategies. As few previous studies considered pubertal changes in serum lipid levels, we examined tracking of serum lipids from prepuberty to young adulthood in a population-based cohort.

Introduction: This study investigates risk factors and surgical outcomes in pediatric patients with congenital heart defects (CHD) who develop ischemic colitis (IC). Previous research indicates a higher IC risk in very low birth weight neonates with CHD.
Methods: A retrospective analysis compared an IC-CHD group to a CHD-only group.

Purpose: CD38 is a glycoprotein highly specific to multiple myeloma (MM). Therapeutics using antibodies targeting CD38 have shown promising efficacy. However, the efficient stratification of patients who may benefit from daratumumab (Dara) therapy and timely monitoring of therapeutic responses remain significant clinical challenges.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) poses significant treatment challenges due to its high metastasis, heterogeneity, and poor biomarker expression. The N-terminus of an octapeptide NAPVSIPQ () was covalently coupled to a carboxylic acid derivative of Ru(2,2'-bipy) () to synthesize an N-stapled short peptide-Rubpy conjugate (). This photosensitizer (PS) was utilized to treat TNBC through microtubule (MT) targeted chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT).

Aims: Iron deficiency (ID) is highly prevalent in patients with heart failure (HF) and associated with morbidity and poor prognosis, but pathophysiological mechanisms are unknown. We aimed to identify novel biological pathways affected by ID.
Methods And Results: We studied 881 patients with HF from the BIOSTAT-CHF cohort.
