China CDC Wkly

National Center for Tuberculosis Control and Prevention, Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, Beijing, China.

Published: March 2023

What Is Already Known About This Topic?: Tuberculosis (TB) is often referred to as "a disease of poverty," yet the information regarding the financial burden of TB care is limited and regionally representative.

What Is Added By This Report?: This manuscript reported the national representative total and breakdown costs associated with TB care in China. The total cost per patient was 1,185 USD, of which 88% was direct cost and 37% was incurred prior to TB treatment.

What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?: TB patients experience a significant financial burden, and disparities exist among different regions and populations. Current TB care policies and packages are not sufficient to address this issue.

Overexpression of AtbZIP69 in transgenic wheat confers tolerance to nitrogen and drought stress.

Planta

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Crop Gene Resources and Breeding, Institute of Crop Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), Beijing, 100081, China.

AtbZIP69 overexpression in wheat significantly enhanced drought and low nitrogen tolerance by modulating ABA synthesis, antioxidant activity, nitrogen allocation, and transporter gene expression, boosting yield. In this study, we generated wheat plants with improved low nitrogen (LN) and drought tolerance by introducing AtbZIP69, a gene encoding a basic leucine zipper domain transcription factor, into the wheat cultivar Shi 4056. AtbZIP69 localized to the nucleus and activated transcription.

Upregulation of Cyclin E1 and subsequent activation of CDK2 accelerates cell cycle progression from G1 to S phase and is a common oncogenic driver in gynecological malignancies. WEE1 kinase counteracts the effects of Cyclin E1/CDK2 activation by regulating multiple cell cycle checkpoints. Here we characterized the relationship between Cyclin E1/CDK2 activation and sensitivity to the selective WEE1 inhibitor azenosertib.

Introduction And Hypothesis: This study was aimed at evaluating the therapeutic effects of a modified intravesical botulinum toxin injection technique (fewer injection sites under local anesthesia), in comparison with the conventional technique for patients with idiopathic detrusor overactivity, considering the urodynamic parameters.

Methods: In this double-blinded randomized clinical trial, 78 adult females with idiopathic detrusor overactivity were divided into two groups: conventional and modified groups. In the conventional method, patients received intradetrusor botulinum toxin injection at 20 sites under general or spinal anesthesia in a trigone-sparing fashion.

Loss-of-function mutations in PARK7, encoding for DJ-1, can lead to early onset Parkinson's disease (PD). In mice, Park7 deletion leads to dopaminergic deficits during aging, and increased sensitivity to oxidative stress. However, the severity of the reported phenotypes varies.

Three-year-old development: The relationship of child health and parenting stress to neurocognition.

J Pediatr Nurs

January 2025

Department of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, College of Nursing, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, 847 Union Ave, Memphis, TN 38163, USA.

Purpose: This study examined parenting stress and child special healthcare needs to child neurocognitive development (NCD).

Design And Methods: This secondary analysis used data from the primary study, a longitudinal cohort study of mother-child dyads. Multivariable regression models examined the associations between parenting stress and child special healthcare needs with NCD.
