Universal stress proteins (USPs) are typical stress-inducible proteins that function directly in a variety of biotic or abiotic stresses and effectively protect plants from complex, adverse environments. However, the expression patterns of USP genes under pathogen stress and their molecular mechanisms in stress resistance have not been reported in detail. In this study, 46 USP genes were identified from (PtrUSPs), and their biological characteristics were comprehensively analyzed based on phylogeny, physicochemical properties of proteins, and gene structures. The promoter regions of PtrUSPs contain a variety of cis-acting elements related to hormone and stress response. The results of a collinearity analysis showed that PtsrUSPs were highly conserved with homologous genes from four other representative species (, , , and ). Furthermore, RNA-Seq analysis showed that the expression of 46 USPs from × var. Louche (PdpapUSPs) was significantly induced by . The co-expression network and gene ontology analysis of PtrUSPs showed that they participated in the response to stress and response to stimulus through precise coordination. The results of this paper systematically revealed the biological characteristics of PtrUSPs and the characteristics of their response to stress, which will lay a theoretical foundation for improving genetic traits and the breeding of poplar disease-resistant varieties in subsequent studies.

Background: Short fiber-reinforced composites (SFRCs) are restorative materials for large cavities claimed to effectively resist crack propagation. This study aimed to compare the mechanical properties and physical characteristics of five commercially available SFRCS (Alert, Fibrafill Flow, Fibrafill Dentin, everX Flow, and everX Posterior) against a conventional particulate-filled composite (PFC, Essentia Universal).
Methods: The following characteristics were evaluated in accordance with ISO standards: flexural strength and modulus and fracture toughness.

Background/objectives: Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder influenced by genetic and environmental factors, including dietary habits. Oxidative stress and inflammation play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Emerging research suggests that diet may affect schizophrenia through different biological mechanisms beyond oxidative stress and inflammation.

Objective: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores of metal brackets to glazed lithium disilicate reinforced glass-ceramics and zirconia according to various surface treatment protocols.
Methods: A total of 240 lithium disilicate ceramic (LD) and 240 zirconia (Zr) blocks were randomly divided according to sandblasting, hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching, universal primer use, and the adhesive system applied. A maxillary canine metal bracket was bonded to each sample with resin cement (Transbond XT, TXT).

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). The etiology of MS remains elusive, with a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors contributing to its pathogenesis. Recent studies showed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as a potential player in the development and progression of MS.

Persistent myocardial impairment proved by histopathologic studies universally existed in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD); however, the long-term effects on myocardial contractile reserve in KD patients, especially on patients without coronary artery lesions (CALs), is still unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate myocardial contractile reserve in KD patients during late convalescent stage by speckle-tracking adenosine triphosphate (AT) echocardiography. A total of 63 antecedent KD patients at least 4 years after the disease onset and 40 age- and gender-matched normal controls were prospectively enrolled.
