84). However, confirmatory factor analysis failed to differentiate interest and deprivation dimensions of curiosity.

Item revisions are suggested which could be implemented for further investigations. Also, the possibility of using the I/D-YC total score as a more general measure of child curiosity is argued for. An open question is how other dimensions of curiosity might be more viable for proxy ratings of child curiosity.

WRKY33, which has been extensively studied in plant defense against necrotrophic pathogens, has recently been found to be important in salt-responsive pathways. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms controlling the involvement of WRKY33 in salt tolerance have not been fully characterized. Here, we explored the function of BcWRKY33A in non-heading Chinese cabbage (NHCC). Under salt stress, BcWRKY33A expression is significantly induced in roots. As a nuclear protein, BcWRKY33A has strong transcriptional activation activity. Overexpression of BcWRKY33A confers salt tolerance in Arabidopsis, whereas silencing of BcWRKY33A causes salt sensitivity in NHCC. Furthermore, BcHSFA4A, a protein that interacts with BcWRKY33A, could directly bind to the HSE motif within the promoters of BcZAT12 and BcHSP17.6A, which are involved in the plant response to salt stress. Finally, we found that BcWRKY33A could enhance the transcriptional activity of BcHSFA4A and affect its downstream genes (e.g. BcZAT12 and BcHSP17.6A), and co-overexpression of BcWRKY33A and BcHSFA4A could promote the expression of salt-related genes, suggesting that the regulatory interaction between BcWRKY33A and BcHSFA4A improves salt tolerance in plants. CC-885 Overall, our results provide insight into the molecular framework of the BcWRKY33A-BcHSFA4A signaling pathway, which also aids in our understanding of the molecular mechanism of salt tolerance in plants.The production of ginseng, an important Chinese medicine crop, has been increasingly challenged by soil degradation and pathogenic disease under continuous cropping in Northeast China. In a field experiment, an Alfisol garden continuously cropped with Chinese ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) was treated with soil amendment at 20 t ha-1 with maize (MB) and wood (WB) biochar, respectively, compared to conventional manure compost (MC). Two years after the amendment, the rooted topsoil and ginseng plants were sampled. The changes in soil fertility and health, particularly in the soil microbial community and root disease incidence, and in ginseng growth and quality were portrayed using soil physico-chemical assays, biochemical assays of extracellular enzyme activities and gene sequencing assays as well as ginsenoside assays. Topsoil fertility was improved by 23% and 39%, ginseng root biomass increased by 25% and 27%, and root quality improved by 6% and 18% with WB and MB, respectively, compared to MC. In the ginseng rhizosphere, fungal abundance increased by 96% and 384%, with a significant and insignificant increase in bacterial abundance, respectively, under WB and MB. Specifically, the abundance of Fusarium spp. was significantly reduced by 19-35%, while that of Burkholderia spp. increased by folds under biochar amendments over MC. Relevantly, there was a significant decrease in the abundance proportion of pathotrophic fungi but a great increase in that of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, along with an enhanced microbial community network complexity, especially fungal community complexity, under biochar amendments. Thus, biochar, particularly from maize residue, could promote ginseng quality production while enhancing soil health and ecological services, including carbon sequestration, in continuously cropped fields.
Currently, clinical classification of osteosarcoma cannot accurately predict the survival outcomes and responses to chemo- or immunotherapies. Our goal was to classify osteosarcoma patients into clinical/biological subtypes based on EMT molecules.

This study retrospectively curated the RNA expression profiling of osteosarcoma patients from the TARGET and GSE21257 cohorts. Consensus clustering analyses were conducted in accordance with the expression profiling of prognostic EMT genes derived from univariate analyses. Immunological features were evaluated through immune cell infiltration, immune checkpoint expression, and activity of cancer immunity cycle. Drug sensitivity was estimated with the GDSC database. WGCNA approach was adopted to determine the EMT-derived genes. Following univariate analyses, a multivariate cox regression model was developed and externally verified. Predictive independency was evaluated with uni- and multivariate analyses. GSEA was presented to uncover relevant molecular mechanismoma.Cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT) is a rare condition equivalent to deep vein thrombosis of the intracranial veins. Delayed diagnosis will result in severe and disabling complications. We report a case of a 59-year-old man with CVT with no significant past medical or surgical history. On admission, he reported right-sided numbness and weakness concerns, preceded by the sudden onset of bilateral vision loss and dysarthria. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scans confirmed the diagnosis of CVT. The most interesting relative risk factor was flying overseas twice a month for the last 10 years; each flight was longer than eight hours. Another possible contributing factor to our patient's condition was polycythemia, with a hemoglobin level of 19, but the most questionable and puzzling is the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination two months, eight months, and one year prior to admission. Our case highlights a rare COVID-19 vaccine-related CVT diagnosis and that close monitoring for new symptoms and signs is vital to prevent life-threatening complications, herniation, and hemorrhagic transformation.Intrapulmonary gallstones and the formation of pleuro-biliary fistula is a rare complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The stones are most commonly found in the right lower lobe of the lungs. The symptoms tend to be insidious in nature and can manifest as hemoptysis, irritating cough, and cholelithoptysis years after the procedure. The stones can be removed through lobectomy or may also be treated non-invasively with antibiotics only. Here, we describe a case of a patient who developed hemoptysis and was found to have intrapulmonary gallstones from laparoscopic cholecystectomy and subsequent fistula formation.Deep sternal wound infection is a serious postoperative complication of cardiac surgery and often requires flap reconstruction. Herein, we report a case of deep sternal wound infection with an extensive thoracic defect that was successfully treated using a modified technique. This technique, defined as "supercharging," anastomoses the deep inferior epigastric artery and vein of pedicled rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap to the transverse cervical artery and external jugular vein, respectively. The transverse cervical artery is an easily accessible and reliable recipient vessel. Therefore, we recommend that our technique be used, especially in cases of deep sternal wound infection with extensive thoracic defects.Introduction Although disparities in cancer survival exist across different races/ethnicity, the underlying factors are not fully understood. Aim To identify the interaction between race/ethnicity and insurance type and how this influences survival among non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) patients. Methods We utilized the SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) Registry to identify patients with a primary diagnosis of NHL from 2007 to 2015. Our primary outcome of interest was the hazard of death following a diagnosis of NHL. In addition, we utilized the Cox regression model to explore the interaction between race and insurance type and how this influences survival among NHL patients. Results There were 44,609 patients with NHL who fulfilled the study criteria. The mean age at diagnosis was 50.9 ± 10.8 years, with a mean survival of 49.8± 34.5 months. Among these patients, 64.8% were non-Hispanic Whites, 16% were Hispanics, and 10.8% were Blacks. In addition, 76.5% of the study population had private insurance, 16.6% had public insurance, and 6.9% were uninsured. Blacks had the worst survival (HR=1.66; 95% = 1.55-1.78). Patients on private insurance had better survival compared to those with public insurance (HR=2.11; 95% CI=2.00-2.24) Conclusion The racial and socioeconomic disparity in survival outcomes among patients with NHL persisted despite controlling for treatment modalities, age, and disease stage.Herein, we report a case of an 80-year-old male who was diagnosed with a fatal condition known as necrotizing fasciitis. This devastating soft tissue infection can cause profound damage to multiple tissue planes. Despite its etiology being multifactorial, impaired immunity with increasing age weighs in as the most significant. We intend to shed light on its detrimental clinical features and how we managed to treat the patient both conservatively and surgically. Through our case findings and management plan, we hope this case to be of clinical value and knowledge to clinicians to better diagnose and treat the deleterious condition.Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is unusual and must be suspected in children with chronic vomiting and abnormal weight status. The treatment depends on etiology, and surgery is not always the first remedy. Diagnosis is easily confirmed by upper gastrointestinal fibroscopy.We report the case of an 11-year-old girl, who was presented with non-bilious emesis and weight loss. Abdominal computed tomography, ultrasound, and upper gastrointestinal fibroscopy showed dilated stomach with pyloric stenosis, which was confirmed by abdominal laparoscopic exploration and cured by Heineke-Mikulicz pyloroplasty. We also compare our study to previously reported cases.Appendiceal neoplasms are uncommon; most are identified by pathologic examination after appendectomy for presumed appendicitis or as an incidental finding. When found incidentally, patients are typically asymptomatic. If the neoplasm has perforated, patients may present with symptoms that mimic acute appendicitis. In advanced disease, patients may have systemic symptoms associated with peritoneal disease, including abdominal distension, weight loss, and diffuse abdominal pain. Because of their rarity, as well as rapidly evolving research on the subject, the nomenclature of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms has proven challenging. This lesion was identified as a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN), previously termed mucoceles or mucinous cystadenomas. LAMNs are non-invasive neoplasms that have the potential to proliferate outside the appendix in a malignant fashion. All mucinous appendiceal neoplasms can perforate and spread mucin production throughout the abdominal cavity, known as pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP).
