文摘Senescence is the last developmental process in plant,which has an important impact on crop yield and quality.In this study,a stable hereditary early-senescence line BC64 was isolated from the high-generation recombinant inbred lines of 93-11 and Wuyunjing7(W7).Genetic analysis showed that the premature aging phenotype was controlled by a dominant gene derived from 93-11.By linkage analysis,the gene was primarily mapped in the region between marker B4 and B5 near the centromere of chromosome 4,described as ES(4).Through multiple backcrossing with W7,the near-isogenic line of ES(4)(NIL-ES(4))was obtained.Compared with wild-type W7,NIL-ES(4)plants showed more sever senescence phenotype in both nature and dark conditions.In NIL plants,leaves turned yellow at the fully tillering stage;photosynthetic rate,pollen fertility and seed setting rate were decreased.Moreover,the malondialdehyde,proline content and relative conductivity in NIL-ES(4)were significantly higher than those in W7;both transcript level and activities of reactive oxygen species scavenging enzymes were repressed;H2O2 and O^(2−)were significantly accumulated.This study provides a basis for further cloning and function identification of ES(4).

文摘Introduction Nitrous oxide(N2O/laughing gas)has been used in medical practice as an inhalational anaesthetic and analgesic for more than 150 years.1 In the past decades,N2O exhibited increasing popularity among recreational drug users for its euphoric effects,potentially through its interaction with the endogenous opioid system.2 Recreational use of N2O emerged as the seventh most used drug globally in the past decade.3 The use of N2O can cause myelopathy,myocardial injury,anaemia,severe mood disorders,sensory and motor neuropathy,and psychotic symptoms.45 Prolonged N2O intake results in vitamin B12 deficiency and inhibits methionine synthetase,folate and DNA production,leading to plasma homocysteine(HCY)level elevation and bone marrow haematopoietic dysfunction.6 This study aimed to investigate the neurological symptoms of nitrous oxide use and then explore the relapse trajectory and risk factors for relapse.

文摘BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19),caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2),has led to millions of confirmed cases and deaths worldwide.Elderly patients are at high risk of developing and dying from COVID-19 due to advanced age,decreased immune function,intense inflammatory response,and comorbidities.Shanghai has experienced a wave of infection with Omicron,a new variant of SARS-CoV-2,since March 2022.There is a pressing need to identify clinical features and risk factors for disease progression among elderly patients with Omicron infection to provide solid evidence for clinical policy-makers,public health officials,researchers,and the general public.AIM To investigate clinical characteristic differences and risk factors between elderly patients with severe and nonsevere Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant infection.METHODS A total of 328 elderly patients with COVID-19 admitted to the Ninth People’s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from April 2022 to June 2022 were enrolled and divided into a severe group(82 patients)and a nonsevere group(246 patients)according to the diagnosis and treatment protocol of COVID-19(version 7).The clinical data and laboratory results of both groups were collected and compared.A chi-square test,t test,Mann-Whitney U test,hierarchical log-rank test,univariate and multivariate logistic regression,and hierarchical analyses were used to determine significant differences.RESULTS The severe group was older(84 vs 74 years,P<0.001),included more males(57.3%vs 43.9%,P=0.037),had a lower vaccination rate(P<0.001),and had a higher proportion of comorbidities,including chronic respiratory disease(P=0.001),cerebral infarction(P<0.001),chronic kidney disease(P=0.002),and neurodegenerative disease(P<0.001),than the nonsevere group.In addition,severe disease patients had a higher inflammatory index(P<0.001),greater need for symptomatic treatment(P<0.001),longer hospital stay(P=0.011),extended viral shedding time(P=0.014),and higher mortality than nonsevere disease patients(P<0.001).No difference was observed in the application of Paxlovid in the severe and nonsevere groups(P=0.817).Oxygen saturation,cerebral infarction,and D-dimer were predictive factors for developing severe disease in patients with COVID-19,with D-dimer having an excellent role(area under the curve:90.1%,95%CI:86.1-94.0%).In addition,D-dimer was a risk factor for developing severe COVID-19 according to multivariate stratified analysis.CONCLUSION The clinical course of severe COVID-19 is complex,with a higher need for symptomatic treatment.D-dimer is a suitable biomarker for identifying patients at risk for developing severe COVID-19.

文摘During both daily operation and emergency evacuation,the corners of walking facilities in subway stations play an important role in efficient circulation.However,the effectiveness of the corner is difficult to assess.In this paper,a method of passenger gathering and scattering analysis based on queueing models was proposed to investigate the corner performance in subway stations.Firstly,we constructed a set of state spaces of passenger flow according to passenger density and proposed the state transition model of passenger flow.Moreover,the model of passenger flow blocking and unblocking probability were also presented.Then,to illustrate the validity of the method and model,several passenger gathering-scattering scenarios and were simulated to verify the influence of passenger distribution and facility width on passenger walking,and the blocking probability,throughput,and expected time were also analyzed under various widths of the target corridor and arrival rates.Results showed that the proposed model can reproduce the trend of walking parameters changing and the self-organizing phenomenon of'faster is lower'.With the increase of arrival rates of passengers,walking speeds of passengers decrease and the expected walking time is prolonged,and the blocking probability sharply increased when the arrival rate exceeded 7 peds/s.In addition,with change of width of the target facility,efficiency of capacity of walking circulation facility fluctuated.With the width of the target corridor enlarged by 10%,the steady state of passenger flow was less crowded.Therefore,corridor width is critical to the circulation efficiency of passengers in subway stations.The conclusions will help to develop reasonable passenger flow control plans to ease the jam and keep passengers walking safely.
