Objective: To investigate the correlation between recurrent spontaneous abortion patients and brain derived neurotrophic factor BDNF gene polymorphism and the mechanism of BDNF and recurrent spontaneous abortion under stress state in order to provide theoretical basis for nursing psychological intervention of patients with recurrent abortion. Methods: Medical coping Questionnaire (MCMO) and post-traumatic stress Diagnostic Scale (POST-traumatic stress Scale) were adopted Dissorder (PTSD) (PCL-c) scale was used to diagnose the psychological stress of recurrent spontaneous abortion in our hospital, and the BDNF gene polymorphism and the correlation factors of METHYLation in BDNF promoter region were studied in 30 cases (control group) and normal control group. Results: The MCMQ score of the case group and the control group was significantly lower than that of the conventional group (P Conclusion: There are significant differences in PTSD between the case group and the control group, which are related to methylation in the PROMOTER region of BDNF and SNP g-712A of BDNF gene. AG patients in the case group are more susceptible to anxiety and depression, and GG PTSD is more severe in the case group. BDNF promoter methylation and G-712A were independent risk factors for PTSD in the case group.

Study on the Relationship between 5-HttLPR Gene and BDNF Gene Polymorphism and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in Li and Han Nationality of Hainan Province

Objective: To investigate the correlation between 5-HTTLPR (5-and serotonin transporter linked polymer region) gene polymorphism and BDNF (brain derived neural factor) gene polymorphism and PTSD (post traumatic stress disorders) in Li and Han nationalities in Hainan Province. Methods: 167 Hainan Li PTSD patients, 141 Hainan Han PTSD patients and 158 healthy volunteers (control group) were investigated by ETI, caps, Toh, WCST, TMT and WAIS-RC. The polymorphisms of rs6265 locus of 5-HTTLPR and BDNF genes were detected by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and page (polycylamide gel electrophoresis), and the correlation with PTSD was analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of PTSD. Results: The ETI score, total PTSD score and TMT time of Li PTSD patients were significantly higher than those of Han PTSD patients (P < 0.01).

Review: Psychological Problems of Pregnant Women and Progress of Psychological Guidance in Recurrent Miscarriage

In order to understand the psychological problems of pregnant women, this article explores the psychological problems and the sources of psychological stress of pregnant women who have a history of recurrent miscarriage after pregnancy. The analysis shows that the psychological stress of pregnant women may be one of the reasons for recurrent miscarriage. Strengthening mental health education during pregnancy can avoid the stimulation of bad emotions and environment, prevent the spontaneous abortion caused by psychological reasons, and improve the quality of pregnancy. It is particularly important to grasp the mental state of pregnant women with recurrent abortion timely and carry out corresponding psychological counseling and psychological nursing.

Lagrangian analysis of the formation and mass transport of compressible vortex rings generated by a shock tube

In order to understand the mass transport and the dynamic genesis associated with a compressible vortex formation,a dynamic analysis of compressible vortex rings (CVRs) generated by shock tubes by using the framework of Lagrangiancoherent structures (LCSs) and finite-time Lyapunov exponents field (FTLE) is performed. Numerical calculation is performed to simulate the evolution of CVRs generated by shock tubes with 70 mm, 100 mm, and 165 mm of the driver sectionat the circumstances of pressure ratio = 3. The formation of CVRs is studied according to FTLE fields. The mass transportduring the formation is obviously seen by the material manifold reveled by FTLE fields. A non-universal formation numberfor the three CVRs is obtained. Then the elliptic LCSs is implemented on three CVRs. Fluid particles separated by ellipticLCSs and ridges of FTLE are traced back to t = 0 to identify the fluid that eventually forms the CVRs. The elliptic LCSsencompass around 60% fluid material of the advected bulk but contain the majority of the circulation of the ring. The otherparts of the ring carrying almost zero circulation advect along with the ring. Combining the ridges of FTLE and the ellipticLCS, the whole CVR can be divided into three distinct dynamic parts: vortex part, entrainment part, and advected part. Inaddition, a criterion based on the vortex part formation is suggested to identify the formation number of CVRs.

GnRH Antagonist Protocol: Is It Effective for Expected Poor Ovarian Responders with Tubal Factor Undergoing IVF?

Background: This study aimed to determine if the gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol is optimal for expected poor ovarian responders with tubal factor undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Methods: A total of 341 IVF-ET cycles were retrospectively identified. The following inclusion criteria were applied: age ≥ 40 years and patients with tubal factors. The cycles were divided into two groups: a GnRH antagonist group (157 cycles) and a GnRH agonist group (184 cycles). Results: The duration of stimulation and the total doses of gonadotropin in the GnRH agonist group were significantly more than those in the GnRH antagonist group (P < 0.05). There were significant differences in LH and P values on the hCG measurement days between the two groups (0.91 ± 1.17 vs. 4.82 ± 4.69 U/L and 0.69 ± 0.42 vs. 1.03 ± 0.50 ng/mL, P < 0.05). The implantation rate of the GnRH antagonist group was 12.24%, which was slightly higher than that of the GnRH agonist group (10.10%, P = 0.437). The clinical pregnancy rate of the two groups showed no statistical differences (23.36% vs. 23.03%, P = 1.000). Conclusion: For expected poor ovarian responders, the GnRH antagonist protocol was, to some extent, superior to the GnRH agonist protocol in terms of the implantation and clinical pregnancy rates.

GnRH Antagonist Protocol: Is It Optimal for All Patients of Different Ages Undergoing <i>In Vitro</i>Fertilization and Embryo Transfer?

Background: To assess the effect of these two protocols in patients of different ages. Methods: 1923 in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles were divided into two groups: a GnRH-ant protocol group and GnRH-a long protocol group, and then every group were subdivided into four age ranges. The general materials and IVF outcomes were compared. Results: The incidence of OHSS fluctuated from 0% to 2.37% with GnRH-ant protocol, which was significantly lower than another (P P Conclusion: The antagonist protocol should be considered in patients with a high ovarian response (e.g., PCOS patients) to avoid OHSS. Older patients (>35 years) could be treated with the antagonist protocol.

Effects of Different Modes of Labor Analgesia on Neonatal Neurobehavior

The term “painless delivery” originated from foreign countries and has a history of more than 100 years. It is actually called “childbirth analgesia” in medicine. Labor analgesia, as its name implies, is the use of various methods to reduce or even eliminate the pain during labor. With the development of anesthesiology and pain, it has been widely used in foreign countries, especially in some developed countries in the West. The rate of labor analgesia in the United States is > 85%, and even as high as 90% in Britain. The best childbirth analgesia should include side effect is small to puerpera and fetus, exact analgesic effect, quick effect, maintain time is long, can satisfy normal labor course;puerpera is awake, can cooperate childbirth and do not affect uterine contraction, and do not affect labor course progress. In 2000, WHO proposed that medical institutions should provide various labor analgesic services for parturient women to reduce labor pain as much as possible. Encourage the use of non-pharmaceutical analgesic techniques. In this paper, the effects of different modes of labor analgesia on neonates are described as follows.

GRAIN INCOMPLETE FILLING 2 regulates grain filling and starch synthesis during rice caryopsis development

Rice grain filling determines grain weight, final yield and grain quality. Here, a rice defective grain filling mutant, gif2, was identified. Grains ofgif2 showed a slower filling rate and a significant lower final grain weight and yield compared to wild-type. The starch content in gilt2 was noticeably decreased and its physicochemical properties were also altered. Moreover, gif2 endosperm cells showed obvious defects in compound granule formation. Posi- tional cloning identified GIF2 to encode an ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase （AGP） large subunit, AGPL2; consequently, AGP enzyme activity in gif2 endosperms was remarkably decreased. GIF2 is mainly expressed in developing grains and the coded protein localizes in the cytosol. Yeast two hybrid assay showed that GIF2 interacted with AGP small subunits OsAGPS% OsAGPS2a and OsAGPS2b. Transcript levels for granule-bound starch synthase, starch synthase, starch branching enzyme and starch debranching enzyme were distinctly elevated in gif2 grains. In addition, the level of nucleotide diversity of the GIF2 locus was extremely low in both cultivated and wild rice. All of these results suggest that GIF2 plays important roles in the regulation of grain filling and starch biosynthesis during caryopsis development, and that it has been preserved during selection throughout domestication of modern rice.

Benefits and limitations of biochar for climate-smart agriculture:a review and case study from China

Biochar has gained significant attention in agricultural and environmental research over the last two decades.This comprehensive review evaluates the effects of biochar on soil organic carbon(SOC),emission of non-CO_(2) greenhouse gases,and crop yield,including related mechanisms and major influencing factors.The impacts of biochar on SOC,methane and nitrous oxide emissions,and crop yield are controlled by biochar and soil properties and management practices.High-temperature biochar produced from lignin-rich feedstocks may decrease methane and nitrous oxide emissions in acidic soils and strengthen long-term carbon sequestration due to its stable aromatic structure.In contrast,low-temperature biochar from manure may increase crop yield in low-fertility soils.Applying biochar to farmlands in China can increase SOC content by 1.9 Pg C and reduce methane and nitrous oxide emissions by 25 and 20 Mt CO_(2)-eq year^(−1),respectively,while increasing crop yields by 19%.Despite the increasing evidence of the positive effects of biochar,future research needs to explore the potential factors that could weaken or hinder its capacity to address climate change and secure crop production.We conclude that biochar is not a universal solution for global cropland;however,targeted applications in fields,landscapes,or regional scales,especially in low fertility and sandy soils,could realize the benefits of biochar as a climate-smart measure.

GASEOUS REACTIVE NITROGEN LOSSES FROM ORCHARDS,VEGETABLES AND TEA PLANTATIONS

Nitrogen fertilizer application has accelerated the agricultural soil N cycle while ensuring food security.Gaseous reactive N emissions from orchards,vegetables and tea plantations(OVT)are less understood than those from cereal crops.This paper presents a compilation of data on soil ammonia,nitrous oxide,and nitric oxide emissions from 1454 OVT systems at 184 unique experimental locations worldwide aiming to investigate their emission characteristics,emission factors(EF),and contribution to total farmland emissions.NH_(3)and N_(2)O emissions from orchards and N_(2)O and NO emissions from vegetable production were significantly higher in China than in the rest of the world,regardless of fertilizer application,while N_(2)O emissions from tea plantations were lower than for vegetables.The EF of NH_(3)for vegetables was close to the global mean value with urea application but significantly higher than that of orchards.The EF of N_(2)O in orchards and vegetables was comparable to the global median value,while in tea plantations,the value was 2.3 times higher than the global median value.Current estimates suggest that direct emissions of NH_(3),N_(2)O,and NO from OVT systems are equivalent to approximately a quarter,two thirds and a half of the total farmland in China,respectively.Future research needs to strengthen observational field studies in establishing standard sampling methods for gaseous N emissions and implementing knowledge-based management measures to help achieve the green development of agriculture.

Effects of antisense CENP-B on the proliferation of HeLa (Tet-off) cells

In order to study the change of the expression of centromere protein B (CENP-B) caused by antisense transfection, proto-eukaryotically expressed fused protein GST-CENP-B (65 ku) was injected into mouse, and a peculiar anti-CENP-B serum MaCenpB was collected. A strain of transfected HeLa Tet-off cell HaCb, which contains antisense CENP-B expressing vector pBI-EGFP-as-CenpB, was prepared. Northern blot and Western blot were used to analyze the repression of internal CENP-B in transfected cells. According to the growth curve, the proliferation of HeLa (Tet-off) is repressed by antisense CENP-B, and the multiplication time is prolonged for 32.81 h. The analysis of flow cytometry revealed that, compared with HeLa (Tet-off), the G1 cell population of HaCb is increased (AG1=9%) while S fraction is decreased (AS=11%), but the G2/M phase is nearly unchanged (AG2/M=3%). In the meanwhile, the mi-totic index of HaCb declines greatly compared with that of HeLa (Tet-off). Immunofluorescence showed that the

Neuro-regenerative imidazole-functionalized GelMA hydrogel loaded with hAMSC and SDF-1α promote stem cell differentiation and repair focal brain injury

Brain tissues that are severely damaged by traumatic brain injury(TBI)is hardly regenerated,which leads to a cavity or a repair with glial scarring.Stem-cell therapy is one viable option to treat TBI-caused brain tissue damage,whose use is,whereas,limited by the low survival rate and differentiation efficiency of stem cells.To approach this problem,we developed an injectable hydrogel using imidazole groups-modified gelatin methacrylate(GelMA-imid).In addition,polydopamine(PDA)nanoparticles were used as carrier for stromal-cell derived factor-1(SDF-1α).GelMA-imid hydrogel loaded with PDA@SDF-1αnanoparticles and human amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells(hAMSCs)were injected into the damaged area in an in-vivo cryogenic injury model in rats.The hydrogel had low module and its average pore size was 204.61±41.41 nm,which were suitable for the migration,proliferation and differentiation of stem cells.In-vitro cell scratch and differentiation assays showed that the imidazole groups and SDF-1αcould promote the migration of hAMSCs to injury site and their differentiation into nerve cells.The highest amount of nissl body was detected in the group of GelMA-imid/SDF-1α/hAMSCs hydrogel in the in-vivo model.Additionally,histological analysis showed that GelMA-imid/SDF-1α/hAMSCs hydrogel could facilitate the regeneration of regenerate endogenous nerve cells.In summary,the GelMA-imid/SDF-1α/hAMSCs hydrogel promoted homing and differentiation of hAMSCs into nerve cells,and showed great application potential for the physiological recovery of TBI.

Passive scalar mixing induced by the formation of compressible vortex rings

This study aims to determine the relationship between the physical features of a compressible vortex and the mixing process.Such relationship is of significant importance to design combustors that can achieve optimal or most effective mixing.The passive scalar mixing induced by the formation of a canonical compressible vortex ring(CVR)generated at the end of a shock tube is investigated by using numerical simulation.In addition,the method of finite-time Lyapunov exponent(FTLE)field are detected to identify the region of CVR,as well as to analyze the passive scalar mixing during the CVR formation.As the CVR rolls up,the ambient fluid outside the shock tube is entrained into the ring.The entrainment fraction(the mass of entrained fluid to the total mass of CVR)is found to strongly depend on two features of CVRs.One is the compressibility of CVRs,which is characterized by the Mach number of the incident shock denoted by Mach number(Ma).The other is pinch-off of CVRs,which happens at a certain timescale with narrow range of 2–4.As Ma increases,the entrainment fraction of the leading CVR decreases linearly due to smaller vortex core and weaker radial diffusion of vorticity generated by larger compressibility.After CVRs pinch off,trailing vortices appear and show less effective at entrainment than the leading CVRs do.Moreover,the tendency of the rate of entrainment is examined.The results indicate that increasing compressibility and total fluid flux are in favor of the rate of entrainment but restrain the entrainment fraction of total jet.

FRUCTOKINASE-LIKE PROTEIN 1 interacts with TRXz to regulate chloroplast development in rice

Chloroplast genes are transcribed by the plastidencoded RNA polymerase（PEP） or nucleus-encoded RNA polymerase. FRUCTOKINASE-LIKE PROTEINS（FLNs） are phosphofructokinase-B（Pfk B）-type carbohydrate kinases that act as part of the PEP complex; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying FLN activity in rice remain elusive.Previously, we identified and characterized a heat-stress sensitive albino（hsa_1） mutant in rice. Map-based cloning revealed that HSA_1 encodes a putative OsFLN_2. Here, we further demonstrated that knockdown or knockout of the OsFLN_1, a close homolog of HSA_1/OsFLN_2, considerably inhibits chloroplast biogenesis and the fln_1 knockout mutants, created by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats（CRISPR） and CRISPR-associate protein_9, exhibit severe albino phenotype and seedling lethality. Moreover, OsFLN_1 localizes to the chloroplast.Yeast two-hybrid, pull-down and bimolecular fluorescencecomplementation experiments revealed that OsFLN_1 and HSA_1/OsFLN_2 interact with THIOREDOXINZ（OsTRXz） to regulate chloroplast development. In agreement with this,knockout of OsTRXz resulted in a similar albino and seedling lethality phenotype to that of the fln_1 mutants. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunoblot analysis revealed that the transcription and translation of PEP-dependent genes were strongly inhibited in fln_1 and trxz mutants, indicating that loss of OsFLN_1, HSA_1/OsFLN_2, or OsTRXz function perturbs the stability of the transcriptionally active chromosome complex and PEP activity. These results show that OsFLN_1 and HSA_1/OsFLN_2 contribute to chloroplast biogenesis and plant growth.

Dynamic Intra-Japonica Subspecies Variation and Resource Application

We constructed a physical map of O. sativa ssp. japonica cv. ZH11 and compared it and its random sample sequences with the Nipponbare RefSeq derived from the same subspecies. This comparison showed that the two japonica genomes were highly syntenic but revealed substantial differences in terms of structural variations, rates of substitutions and indels, and transposable element content. For example, contractions/expansions as large as 450 kb and repeat sequences that were present in high copy numbers only in ZH11 were detected. In tri-alignment regions using the indica variety 93-11 sequence as an outgroup, we found that： （1） the substitution rates of the two japonica-indica inter- subspecies comparison combinations were close but almost a magnitude higher than the substitution rate between the japonica rice varieties ZH11 and Nipponbare; （2） of the substitutions found between ZH11 and Nipponbare, 47.2% occurred in ZH11 and 52.6% in Nipponbare; （3） of the indels found between ZH11 and Nipponbare, the indels that occurred in ZH11 were 15.8 times of those in Nipponbare. Of the indels that occurred in ZH11, 75.67% were insertions and 24.33% deletions. Of the indels that occurred in Nipponbare, 48.23% were insertions and 51.77% were deletions. The ZH11 com- parative map covered four Nipponbare physical gaps, detected assembly errors in the Nipponbare sequence, and was integrated with the FSTs of a large ZH11 T-DNA insertion mutant library. ZH11 BAC clones can be browsed, searched, and obtained at our website, http：//GResource.hzau.edu.cn.
