Introduction: Compared to standard hemodialysis (S-HD), postdilution hemodiafiltration (HDF) has been associated with improved survival.
Methods: To assess whether intradialytic hemodynamics may play a role in this respect, 40 chronic dialysis patients were cross-over randomized to S-HD (dialysate temperature [Td] 36.5 °C), cooled HD (C-HD; Td 35.5 °C), and HDF (low-volume [LV-HDF)] and high-volume [HV-HDF], both Td 36.5 °C, convection volume 15 liters, and at least 23 liters per session, respectively), each for 2 weeks. Blood pressure (BP) was measured every 15 minutes. The primary endpoint was the number of intradialytic hypotensive (IDH) episodes per session. IDH was defined as systolic BP (SBP) less than 90 mmHg for predialysis SBP less than 160 mmHg and less than 100 mmHg for predialysis SBP greater than or equal to 160 mmHg, independent of symptoms and interventions. A analysis on early-onset IDH was performed as well. Secondary endpoints included intradialytic courses of SBP, diastolic BP (DBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP).
Results: During S-HD, IDH occurred 0.68 episodes per session, which was 3.2 and 2.5 times higher than during C-HD (0.21 per session, < 0.0005) and HV-HDF (0.27 per session, < 0.0005), respectively. Whereas the latter 2 strategies showed similar frequencies, HV-HDF differed significantly from LV-HDF ( = 0.02). A comparable trend was observed for early-onset IDH: S-HD (0.32 per session), C-HD (0.07 per session, < 0.0005) and HV-HDF (0.10 per session, = 0.001). SBP, DBP, and MAP declined during S-HD (-6.8, -5.2, -5.2 mmHg per session; = 0.004, < 0.0005, = 0.002 respectively), which was markedly different from C-HD ( < 0.01).
Conclusion: Though C-HD and HV-HDF showed the lowest IDH frequency and the best intradialytic hemodynamic stability, all parameters were most disrupted in S-HD. Therefore, the survival benefit of HV-HDF over S-HD may be partly caused by a more beneficial intradialytic BP profile.

Article Synopsis
- A novel dual-mode biosensor was developed for the ultrasensitive detection of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) using a combination of Tb-Cu MOF@Au nanozyme and BiO/BiS/AgBiS composites to enhance signal detection.
- This biosensor features two detection methods: photoelectrochemical (PEC) with a detection range of 0.00005 to 200 ng/mL and a low limit of 20 fg/mL, and fluorescent (FL) with a range of 0.001 to 200 ng/mL and a limit of 0.65 pg/mL.
- The research indicates that this dual-mode biosensor shows great promise for accurately detecting disease markers, potentially aiding in medical
A scoping review on tools and methods for trait prioritization in crop breeding programmes.

School of Integrative Plant Science, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Trait prioritization research has shaped public crop breeding programs since the 1970s, but its methods and tools are not well understood.
- A review of 657 papers from 1980-2023 revealed uneven crop focus, insufficient sex disaggregation, and regional biases, hampering comparative analysis.
- The study aims to improve future research on trait preferences to create more inclusive crop varieties, focusing on diverse needs beyond just productivity and yield.
Generation of aroma in three-line hybrid rice through CRISPR/Cas9 editing of BETAINE ALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE2 (OsBADH2).

Aroma or fragrance in rice is a genetically controlled trait; Its high appreciation by consumers increases the rice market price. Previous studies have revealed that the rice aroma is controlled by a specific gene called BETAINE ALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE (OsBADH2), and mutation of this gene leads to the accumulation of an aromatic substance 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP). The use of genetic engineering to produce aroma in commercial and cultivated hybrids is a contemporary need for molecular breeding.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is increasingly getting attention worldwide, as it has played a very satisfactory role in treating COVID-19 during these past 3 years, and the Chinese government highly supports the development of TCM. The therapeutical theory and efficacies of Chinese medicine (CM) involve the safety, effectiveness and quality evaluation of CM, which requires a standard sound system. Constructing a scientific and reasonable CM quality and safety evaluation system, and establishing high-quality standards are the key cores to promote the high-quality development of CM.
