Drought was maintained in pot raised plants by withholding irrigation at 95 days after sowing (DAS), i.e. just five days before the initiation of anthesis. Drought induced a significant reduction in mean biomass of all the internodes of sensitive cultivar as compared to those of tolerant one. Mobilized dry matter and mobilization efficiency were observed to be higher in the internodes of tolerant cultivar, both under control and stress conditions, which resulted in enhanced translocation of stem reserves to the grains. Water soluble carbohydrates (WSC), which mainly occur as fructans, were observed to be higher in the internodes of tolerant cultivar than those of sensitive one. When drought was applied, fructans were mobilized more effectively from the internodes of tolerant cultivar. A significantly higher sucrose synthase activity in the grains of tolerant cultivar, under drought conditions, increased the sink strength by unloading the assimilates in the sink, thereby increasing further mobilization of assimilates to the grains. Grains of sensitive cultivar attained maturity much earlier as compared to the tolerant one, both under control and stress conditions. The longer duration of grain maturation in tolerant cultivar supported enhanced mobilization of stem reserves, thus restricting heavy decrease in grain yield, under stress conditions, as compared to the sensitive cultivar. It may, therefore, be concluded that certain characteristics viz., enhanced capability of fructan storage, higher mobilization efficiency, stronger sink activity and longer duration of grain maturation might help the drought tolerant cultivar in coping the stress展开更多

Methods: A total of 98 lung cancer patients admitted to our hospital from April 2020 to November 2021 were selected as the observation objects, and then divided into a control group and an observation group using the random number table method, with 49 cases in each group. The control group received routine admission guidance and active respiratory circulation training, while the observation group was supplemented with external diaphragm pacemaker on the basis of the control group. The intervention effect was evaluated by blood gas indicators, pulmonary function indicators, diaphragm function indicators, sputum comfort degree, and activity tolerance indicators before and after intervention. Results: Before intervention, there were no significant differences in blood gas analysis indicators, pulmonary function indicators, diaphragm function indicators, sputum comfort degree, and activity tolerance indicators between the two groups (P > 0.05). After intervention, the improvement degree of the above indicators in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The application of external diaphragm pacemaker combined with active respiratory circulation technology in pulmonary rehabilitation of perioperative lung cancer patients is significant, which can effectively improve the pulmonary function, blood gas function, and diaphragm function of lung cancer patients after surgery, and improve the activities of daily living and quality of life of patients.展开更多

In this study,the signal transduction events involved in the stimulation of monocytes with the membrane form of P48 (mP48) were investigated. Monocyte stimulation with mP48 was found to involve the mobilization of intracellular calcium (Ca2+)and the activation and translocation of PKC from the cy-tosol to the membrane. Membane P48 induced a rapid rise of intracellular Ca2+ in a dose dependent maner. Simi-larly the stimulation of monocytes with P48 was found to involve the activation and translocation of PKC. The translocation of PKC was rapid (within 0-5 min) yet tran-sient with PKC activity returning to control levels by 8 min. The functional role of protein kineses in P48 induced TNF secretion was studied using various kinese inhibitors. The PKC inhibitors, H-7 and sphingosine, were found to inhibit P48 induced TNF secretion with 50% inhibition at 5μM HA1004, which inhibts cyclic nucleotide-dependent kinase (PKA, Ki 1.2μM), did not inhibit TNF secretion. H-8 (PKA inhibitor) was found to be an effective inhibitor of TNF secretion only at high concentrations(30μp. The Calmodulin-dependent kinase inhibitor, W7 (Ki 12μM)was found to be effective at concentration above 5μM.These findings suggest that P48-triggered TNF secretion involves transmembrane Ca2+ signaling and the subse-quent activation of at least two protein kineses, PKC and CaMK.展开更多
