Understanding the role of root hair in the crack entry of Bradyrhizobia invasion of peanut root and subsequent peanut nodulation would facilitate improvement of biological nitrogen fixation in cultivated peanut. The objective of this study was to investigate the involvement of root hair in Bradyrhizobial invasion of peanut. Seedling roots of a nodulating peanut cultivar were observed for root hair emergence, its life span, and nodule formation at the base of the lateral roots with and without rhizobia inoculation for 14 days after germination (DAG). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized to observe rhizobia accumulation at lateral roots at 24 hours after inoculation (HAI) before the emergence of root hair. Root hair emerged at 7 DAG with or without rhizobia inoculation. Two variations of rosette hair (RoH) were observed, the transient-thin RoH had life span of 3 days after root hair emergence and the thick and densely distributed RoH type stayed till the time of nodule emergence (9 days after inoculation). The lateral root devoid of root hair at the top 2 cm region was found to produce nodules. The SEM observation of seedling roots at 24 HAI showed that Bradyrhizobia invaded the roots at epidermis, protoplasm of cortical cell, and cortical cells of the main root near the newly emerged lateral root in the absence of RoH. The observations validated that root hair is not required in the Bradyrhizobia invasion of peanut root in the crack entry mode. Results from this study provided important morphological information for the hypothesis of close relationship between RoH and peanut nodulation for further genetic study of crack entry mechanism and signaling pathway of symbiosis between Bradyrhizobia and peanut.展开更多

In the absence of any new drugs, renal replacement therapy (RRT) is the most important treatment option. Randomized controlled trials have concluded that in critically ill patients without an emergency indication for RRT, a watchful waiting strategy is safe;however, further delays in RRT did not seem to confer any benefit, rather was associated with potential harm. During this process, balancing the risks of complications due to an unnecessary intervention with the risk of not correcting a potentially life-threatening complication remains a challenge. Dynamic renal function assessment, especially dynamic assessment of renal demand-capacity matching, combined with renal biomarkers such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and furosemide stress test, is helpful to identify which patients and when the patients may benefit from RRT.展开更多

Numerical simulations of three designed polarization converters consisting of rectangular holes equivalent to polarizers and quarter-and half-wave plates, exhibit the perfect polarization conversion.The experiment results consistent with the simulations verify theoretic predictions. This study is helpful for designing metasurface polarization converters and expanding the application of a metasurface in polarization manipulations.展开更多

Conditions on which bifurcation happens, and the critical system structure when the system transforms from one kind of topological structure to another are studied as well. The criterion for identifying Hopf bifurcation under different parameter combinations is also given. The chaotic character of this system under quasi-periodic force is finally studied. The bifurcation structure graphs are given when two parameters of the combination are fixed while the other parameter varies. The presence and stability of 2 and 3 dimensional torus bifurcation are studied. All of the Lyapunov exponents of the system with different bifurcation parameters and routes leading the system to chaos with different parameter combinations are studied. It is of important theoretical and practical meaning to probe the intrinsic mechanism of such continuous complicated financial system and to find the macro control policies for such kind of system.展开更多

In Australia, the dipping of cattle in arsenic-containing solution to control cattle ticks in last centenary has left many sites heavily contaminated with arsenic and other toxicants. We had previously isolated five soil bacterial strains (CDB 1-5) highly resistant to arsenic. To understand the resistance mechanism, molecular studies have been carried out. Two chromosome-encoded arsenic resistance (ars) gene clusters have been cloned from CDB3 (Bacillus sp.). They both function in Escherichia coli and cluster i exerts a much higher resistance to the toxic metalloid. Cluster 2 is smaller possessing four open reading frames (ORFs) arsRorf2BC, similar to that identified in Bacillus subtilis Skin element. Among the eight ORFs in cluster 1 five are analogs of common ars genes found in other bacteria, however, organized in a unique order arsRBCDA instead of arsRDABC. Three other putative genes are located directly downstream and designated as arsTIP based on the homologies of their theoretical translation sequences respectively to thioredoxin reductases, iron-sulphur cluster proteins and protein phosphatases. The latter two are novel of any known ars operons. The arsD gene from Bacillus species was cloned for the first time and the predict protein differs from the well studied E. coli ArsD by lacking two pairs of C-terminal cysteine residues. Its functional involvement in arsenic resistance has been confirmed by a deletion experiment. There exists also an inverted repeat in the intergenic region between arsC and arsD implying some unknown transcription regulation.展开更多

Dynamic renal function assessment, especially dynamic assessment of renal demand-capacity matching, combined with renal biomarkers such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and furosemide stress test, is helpful to identify which patients and when the patients may benefit from RRT.

文摘BackgroundSeveral prognostic biomarkers have been validated for acute myeloid leukemia(AML),a heterogeneous hematopoietic malignancy.However,the factors associated with the cumulative incidence of relapse(CIR)and leukemia-free survival(LFS)in real-world patients with AML have not been well defined.MethodsThis study examined clinical and mutational data of 246 patients with newly diagnosed AML who received the traditional“3+7”regimen in PLA General Hospital from January 2008 to August 2020.Factors associated with CIR and LFS in patients newly diagnosed with AML were analyzed using next-generation sequencing.ResultsAdditional sex combs-like 1(ASXL1)and Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2(SRSF2)mutations were found to be associated with an increased risk of CIR and a reduced LFS in univariate analysis,while only SRSF2 mutations were associated with these factors in the multivariate analysis.Hyperleukocytosis maintained an independent effect on LFS in the multivariate analysis.Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation conferred a significant prognostic benefit on both CIR and LFS in our cohort.Furthermore,we validated the risk classification of patients with AML receiving traditional induction regimens across a broad age range.Based on next-generation sequencing results,we concluded that SRSF2 mutations were predictive of an increased risk of relapse,inferior LFS rates,and non-relapse mortality in patients with newly diagnosed AML.ConclusionThese findings indicate that patients with SRSF2 mutations might not benefit from the conventional“3+7”regimen.Our results may help in developing molecular stratification strategies and could guide treatment decisions for patients with newly diagnosed AML.

文摘Transmission of an anisotropic metasurface is analyzed in a polar base relying on the Jones calculus, and polarization conversion from the spatial uniform polarization to the spatial nonuniform polarization is explored.Simple and compact polarization converters based on rectangular holes or cross holes etched in silver film are designed, and polarization conversions from the linear and circular polarization to the radial and azimuthal polarization are realized. Numerical simulations of three designed polarization converters consisting of rectangular holes equivalent to polarizers and quarter-and half-wave plates, exhibit the perfect polarization conversion.The experiment results consistent with the simulations verify theoretic predictions. This study is helpful for designing metasurface polarization converters and expanding the application of a metasurface in polarization manipulations.

文摘This paper studies the global bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation of one kind of complicated financial system with different parameter combinations. Conditions on which bifurcation happens, and the critical system structure when the system transforms from one kind of topological structure to another are studied as well. The criterion for identifying Hopf bifurcation under different parameter combinations is also given. The chaotic character of this system under quasi-periodic force is finally studied. The bifurcation structure graphs are given when two parameters of the combination are fixed while the other parameter varies. The presence and stability of 2 and 3 dimensional torus bifurcation are studied. All of the Lyapunov exponents of the system with different bifurcation parameters and routes leading the system to chaos with different parameter combinations are studied. It is of important theoretical and practical meaning to probe the intrinsic mechanism of such continuous complicated financial system and to find the macro control policies for such kind of system.

文摘Contamination of soil and water by arsenic is a global problem. In Australia, the dipping of cattle in arsenic-containing solution to control cattle ticks in last centenary has left many sites heavily contaminated with arsenic and other toxicants. We had previously isolated five soil bacterial strains (CDB 1-5) highly resistant to arsenic. To understand the resistance mechanism, molecular studies have been carried out. Two chromosome-encoded arsenic resistance (ars) gene clusters have been cloned from CDB3 (Bacillus sp.). They both function in Escherichia coli and cluster i exerts a much higher resistance to the toxic metalloid. Cluster 2 is smaller possessing four open reading frames (ORFs) arsRorf2BC, similar to that identified in Bacillus subtilis Skin element. Among the eight ORFs in cluster 1 five are analogs of common ars genes found in other bacteria, however, organized in a unique order arsRBCDA instead of arsRDABC. Three other putative genes are located directly downstream and designated as arsTIP based on the homologies of their theoretical translation sequences respectively to thioredoxin reductases, iron-sulphur cluster proteins and protein phosphatases. The latter two are novel of any known ars operons. The arsD gene from Bacillus species was cloned for the first time and the predict protein differs from the well studied E. coli ArsD by lacking two pairs of C-terminal cysteine residues. Its functional involvement in arsenic resistance has been confirmed by a deletion experiment. There exists also an inverted repeat in the intergenic region between arsC and arsD implying some unknown transcription regulation.
