BnaC03.BIN2 regulates plant height by affecting the main inflorescence length and first effective branch height in Brassica napus L.

Rapeseed(Brassica napus L.)is one of the main oil crops in the world,and increasing its yield is of great significance for ensuring the safety of edible oil.Presently,improving rapeseed plant architecture is an effective way to increase rapeseed yield with higher planting density.However,the regulatory mechanism of rapeseed plant architecture is poorly understood.In this study,a dwarf rapeseed mutant dwarf08(df08)is obtained by ethyl methane sulfonate(EMS)-mutagenesis.The decrease in plant height of df08 is mainly caused by the reduction in main inflorescence length and first effective branch height and controlled by a single semi-dominant gene.The hybrid plants(F1)show a semi-dwarf phenotype.Through map-based cloning and transgenic assay,we confirm that the nonsynonymous single nucleotide variant(SNV)(C to T)in BnaC03.BIN2,which is homologous with Arabidopsis(Arabidopsis thaliana)BIN2,is responsible for the dwarfism of df08.BnaC03.BIN2 interacts with BnaBZR1/BES1 and involves in brassinosteroids(BRs)signal transduction.Proline to Leucine substitution in 284(P284L)enhances the protein stability of BnaC03.bin2-D,disrupts BRs signal transduction and affects the expression of genes regulating cell division,leading to dwarfism of df08.This study provides a new insight for the mechanism of rapeseed plant height regulation and creates an elite germplasm that can be used for genetic improvement of rapeseed architecture.

Analysis of independent risk factors for acute acquired comitant esotropia

comitant esotropia(AACE).METHODS:A retrospective cohort study was conducted by analyzing 83 patients(case group)with AACE who underwent strabismus correction surgery from January 1,2021 to June 30,2022.Totally 73 outpatient volunteers were recruited during the same period as the normal control group.The case group’s binocular vision time,near and distance esotropia angle,and near stereo vision function were recorded,and the age,gender,refractive status,and best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA)of both groups were analyzed.Additionally,multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted using an eye usage condition questionnaire to determine the independent risk factors for AACE.RESULTS:In the case group,61 patients(73.49%)had myopia,with a mean equivalent spherical power(SE)of-3.35±3.31 D(range:+2.75 to-10.62 D)of the right eye and-2.87±3.35 D(range:+2.75 to-11.12 D)of the left eye.The average duration of diplopia in the case group was 29.83±35.72mo,of which 80 patients(96.39%)were primarily with distance diplopia.The near and distance esotropia angle after wearing glasses were 52.36±20.95 prism degree(PD)and 56.71±19.54 PD,respectively,and there was no statistically significant difference between the two(t=1.38,P=0.169).The incidence of improper glasses wearing and unhealthy eye habits in the case group was significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Close-up work without glasses[β=2.30,odds ratio(OR)=10,95%confidence interval(CI)2.35-42.51,P=0.002]and near work in supine position(β=1.80,OR=6.02,95%CI 3.29-11.02,P<0.001)were independent risk factors for AACE.CONCLUSION:Patients with AACE mainly present with distance diplopia,and there is a high degree of variation in myopia.Near work without wearing glasses and in supine position are independent risk factors for AACE.

MELLT3 protects against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury through up-regulation of m6A modification

Ischemic cerebrovascular disease is a leading cause of death globally and is often exacerbated by cerebral ischemic/reperfusion injury(CIRI).The exact mechanisms underlying I/R injury are unclear.In this study,we aimed to determine the role of m6A-modified methylase complex methyltransferase-like 3(METTL3)in cerebral ischemiareperfusion(I/R)injury.We found that m6A and METTL3 levels increased in OGD/RX-induced mouse astrocytescerebellar(MA-C)and the brain of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)model mice.METTL3 siRNA treatment reduced OGD-RX-induced MAC cell viability and proliferation,which increased with METTL3 over-expression.Flow cytometry analysis showed that silencing METTL3 significantly enhanced OGD/RX-induced MAC apoptosis,which was significantly reduced with METTL3 up-regulation.In an MCAO model,METTL3 overexpression significantly reduced cerebral infarction area and decreased brain cell apoptosis,indicating that METTL3 OE treatment could ameliorate brain edema and injury.Thus,METTL3 could be used as a target to treat I/R injury.

Neuroprotective effects of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein during mild hypothermia on traumatic brain injury

Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein（CIRP）, a key regulatory protein, could be facilitated by mild hypothermia in the brain, heart and liver. This study observed the effects of mild hypothermia at 31 ± 0.5℃ on traumatic brain injury in rats. Results demonstrated that mild hypothermia suppressed apoptosis in the cortex, hippocampus and hypothalamus, facilitated CIRP m RNA and protein expression in these regions, especially in the hypothalamus. The anti-apoptotic effect of mild hypothermia disappeared after CIRP silencing. There was no correlation between mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation and CIRP silencing. CIRP silencing inhibited extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 activation. These indicate that CIRP inhibits apoptosis by affecting extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1/2 activation, and exerts a neuroprotective effect during mild hypothermia for traumatic brain injury.

Comparative efficacy of various exercise interventions on cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment or dementia:A systematic review and network meta-analysis

Background:Exercise is a promising nonpharmacological therapy for cognitive dysfunction,but it is unclear which type of exercise is most effective.The objective of this study was to compare and rank the effectiveness of various exercise interventions on cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment(MCI)or dementia and to examine the effects of exercise on the symptoms relevant to cognitive impairment.Methods:We searched PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials,SPORTDiscus,and PsycInfo through September 2019 and included randomized controlled trials that examined the effectiveness of exercise interventions in patients with MCI or dementia.Primary outcomes included global cognition,executive cognition,and memory cognition.Secondary outcomes included activities of daily living,neuropsychiatric symptoms,and quality of life.Pairwise analyses and network meta-analyses were performed using a random effects model.Results:A total of 73 articles from 71 trials with 5606 participants were included.All types of exercise were effective in increasing or maintaining global cognition,and resistance exercise had the highest probability of being the most effective intervention in slowing the decrease in global cognition(standard mean difference(SMD)=1.05,95%confidence interval(95%CI):0.56-1.54),executive function(SMD=0.85,95%CI:0.21-1.49),and memory function(SMD=0.32,95%CI:0.01-0.63)in patients with cognitive dysfunction.Subgroup analyses for patients with MCI revealed different effects,and multicomponent exercise was most likely to be the optimal exercise therapy for preventing the decline of global cognition(SMD=0.99,95%CI:0.44-1.54)and executive function(SMD=0.72,95%CI:0.06-1.38).However,only resistance exercise showed significant effects on memory function for patients with MCI(SMD=0.35,95%CI:0.01-0.69).Exercise interventions also showed various effects on the secondary outcomes.Conclusion:Resistance exercise has the highest probability of being the optimal exercise type for slowing cognitive declin e in patients withcognitive dysfunction,especially in patients with dementia.Multicomponent exercise tends to be most effective in protecting global cognition and executive function in patients with MCI.

Differential Privacy Preserving Dynamic Data Release Scheme Based on Jensen-Shannon Divergence

Health monitoring data or the data about infectious diseases such as COVID-19 may need to be constantly updated and dynamically released,but they may contain user's sensitive information.Thus,how to preserve the user's privacy before their release is critically important yet challenging.Differential Privacy(DP)is well-known to provide effective privacy protection,and thus the dynamic DP preserving data release was designed to publish a histogram to meet DP guarantee.Unfortunately,this scheme may result in high cumulative errors and lower the data availability.To address this problem,in this paper,we apply Jensen-Shannon(JS)divergence to design the OPTICS(Ordering Points To Identify The Clustering Structure)scheme.It uses JS divergence to measure the difference between the updated data set at the current release time and private data set at the previous release time.By comparing the difference with a threshold,only when the difference is greater than the threshold,can we apply OPTICS to publish DP protected data sets.Our experimental results show that the absolute errors and average relative errors are significantly lower than those existing works.

High-speed countercurrent chromatography for purification of single-walled carbon nanotubes

A new chromatographic purification of single-walled carbon nanotubes using high-speed countercurrent chromatography is reported. The purification was accomplished on the basis of experiment that dispersed the single-walled carbon nanotubes with sodium dodecyl sulfate, and the result mixture was separated using the two phase system composed of n-butanol/water = 1/1 （v/v）. The sizes of SWNTs separated were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrated that the high-speed countercurrent chromatography possessed a good efficency for purification of single-walled carbon nanotubes.

Establishment of an animal model of dural venous sinus embolism

BACKGROUND： The pathological mechanism of secondary brain lesion following an embolism remains unclear. The establishment of an animal model that imitates the clinical pathophysiological processes is crucial to better study this disease during a certain time window. OBJECTIVE： To establish a new animal model of dural venous sinus embolism that is simple, has a high success rate, and emulates the pathophysiological course of clinical disease. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A randomized block design trial was performed at the Department of Anatomy, Ningxia Medical College between March and December 2007. MATERIALS： Fifty-eight healthy, adult, Sprague Dawley rats were used in the present study. Plastic emboli, with a total length of 0.4 cm, were self-made. Each plastic embolus had a conical anterior segment; the largest diameter being 0.12 cm. The posterior segment became gradually thin and flat, with a width of 0.2 cm and length of 0.1 cm. METHODS： The fifty-eight rats were randomly divided into three groups： control （n = 6）, embolism （n = 26）, and sham-embolism （n = 26） groups. In the embolism group, a solid embolus was slowly inserted and fixed into the posterior part of the superior sagittal sinus against the flow of blood. The posterior segment was detained outside the superior sagittal sinus for fixing. In the sham-embolism group, rats were subjected only to sinus sagittalis superior exposure. In the control group, rats received no treatments. In both the embolism and the sham-embolism groups, the rat brains were resected at 6 hours, 1, 3, and 5 days post-surgery. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： （1） Brain surface appearance in the embolism and sham-embolism groups. （2） Thrombosis in the embolism group. （3） Cerebrospinal fluid content in the above-mentioned two groups. RESULTS： In the embolism group, the model success rate was 92% （24/26）. There was visible thrombosis in the superior sagittal sinus. Cerebral edema was noticeable under a microscope. These changes were visible at 6 hours after embolism and were most obvious at 1 day after surgery. In the embolism group, cerebrospinal fluid content reached a peak level at 6 hours post-surgery and was significantly increased compared with the sham-embolism and the control groups （P 〈 0.05）. At 1 day post-surgery, the amount of cerebrospinal fluid was still greater in the embolism group compared to the control group （P 〈 0.05） CONCLUSION： The method of inserting a solid embolus has many benefits, such as being able to directly observe, short cycle time, and minimal wound. The detained posterior segment prevents movement and perfusion of embolus, which results in a high success rate.

A Survey on Routing Algorithms for Opportunistic Mobile Social Networks

Opportunistic Mobile Social Networks(OMSNs)are kind of Delay Tolerant Networks(DTNs)that leverage characteristics of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks(MANETs)and Social Networks,particularly the social features,to boost performance of routing algorithms.Users in OMSNs communicate to share and disseminate data to meet needs for variety of applications.Such networks have attracted tremendous attention lately due to the data transmission requirement from emerging applications such as IoT and smart city initiatives.Devices carried by human is the carrier of message transmission,so the social features of human can be used to improve the ability of data transmission.In this paper,we conduct a comparative survey on routing algorithms in OMSNs.We first analyze routing algorithms based on three social features.Since node selfishness is not really considered previously in aforementioned routing algorithms,but has significant impact on network performance,we treat node selfishness as another social feature,classify and elaborate routing algorithms based on incentive mechanism.To assess the impact of social features on routing algorithms,we conducted simulation for six routing algorithms and analyzed the simulation result.Finally,we conclude the paper with challenges on design of routing in OMSNs and point out some future research directions.

Optical wavelet-fractional squeezing combinatorial transform

By virtue of the method of integration within ordered product(IWOP)of operators we find the normally ordered form of the optical wavelet-fractional squeezing combinatorial transform(WFrST)operator.The way we successfully combine them to realize the integration transform kernel of WFr ST is making full use of the completeness relation of Dirac’s ket–bra representation.The WFr ST can play role in analyzing and recognizing quantum states,for instance,we apply this new transform to identify the vacuum state,the single-particle state,and their superposition state.

Impacts of Melt Spinning and Element Substitution on Electrochemical Characteristics of the La–Mg–Ni-based A₂B₇-Type Alloys

The partial substitution of Zr for La has been performed in order to ameliorate the electrochemical hydrogen storage performances of La–Mg–Ni based A2B7-type electrode alloys. The melt spinning technology was used to prepare the La0.75-xZrxMg0.25Ni3.2Co0.2Al0.1 (x=0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2) electrode alloys. The impacts of the melt spinning and the substituting La with Zr on the structures and the electrochemical hydrogen storage characteristics of the alloys were systemically investigated. The analysis of XRD and TEM reveals that the as-cast and spun alloys have a multiphase structure, composing of two main phases (La, Mg)2Ni7 and LaNi5 as well as a residual phase LaNi2. The electrochemical measurement indicates that both the substitution of Zr for La and the melt spinning ameliorate the electrochemical cycle stability of the alloys dramatically. Furthermore, the high rate discharge ability (HRD) of the as-spun (10 m/s) alloys notably declines with growing the amount of Zr substitution, while it first augments and then falls for the (x=0.1) alloy with rising the spinning rate.

Objective: To investigate the correlation of Runx2 expression with cancer cell growth and extracellular matrix degradation in liver cancer tissue. Methods: A total of 89 patients with primary liver cancer who underwent radical operation for liver cancer in Huanggang Central Hospital between January 2016 and August 2017 were selected, liver cancer tissue specimens and adjacent normal tissue specimens collected from each of the 89 cases were kept during operation and enrolled as liver cancer group and normal control group respectively. The expression of Runx2, proliferation-related genes, apoptosis-related genes, MMPs and so on in the specimens were detected, and Pearson test was used to evaluate the correlation of Runx2 mRNA expression in liver cancer tissue with cell proliferation and apoptosis ans well as extracellular matrix degradation. Results: Runx2 mRNA expression in liver cancer group was higher than that in normal control group;proliferation-related gene NFAT2 mRNA expression in liver cancer group was lower than that in normal control group whereas DNMT3B, LAMP2, STC2, Versican and Bub1 mRNA expression were higher than those in normal control group;apoptosis-related genes Survivin, Vimentin, Bcl-2 and cIAP2 mRNA expression in liver cancer group were higher than those in normal control group whereas Bax mRNA expression was lower than that in control group;MMP-2, MMP-9 and MMP-14 mRNA expression in liver cancer group were significantly higher than those in control group. Pearson test showed that the Runx2 mRNA expression in liver cancer tissue was directly correlated with cell proliferation activity, apoptosis activity and MMPs expression. Conclusion: There is abnormally high expression of Runx2 in liver cancer tissue, it can directly participate in the active cancer cell proliferation, abnormal apoptosis and other processes, and the specific mechanism is related to its effect on promoting extracellular matrix degradation.
