Increased GPC and improved grain protein composition enhanced BQ.

The mechanism underlying simultaneous improvement in GY and GPC as well as N
was the greater increase in N accumulation in grains per unit area relative to increases in GY, or total grain number per unit area. The GY and BQ can be improved simultaneously regardless of sowing date by optimizing the seeding rate and N topdressing ratio via enhanced N uptake and N remobilization into grains. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have an anti-inflammatory response, but it remains unclear whether the perioperative use of flurbiprofen axetil can influence postoperative tumor recurrence and survival in esophageal carcinoma. We aimed to explore the effect of perioperative intravenous flurbiprofen axetil on recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with esophageal carcinoma who underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomy.

This retrospective study included patients who underwent surgery for esophageal carcinoma between December 2009 and May 2015 at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Anhui Provincial Hospital. Patients were categorized into a non-NSAIDs group (did not receive flurbiprofen axetil), single-dose NSAIDs group (received a single dose of flurbiprofen axetil intravenously), and multiple-dose NSAIDs group (received multiple doses of flurbiprofen).

A total of 847 eligible patients were enrolled. Univariable and multivariable analyses revealed that the intraoperative use of flurbiprofen was associated with long-term RFS (hazard ratio [HR] 0.56, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.42-0.76, p = .001) and prolonged OS (HR 0.49, 95% CI 0.38-0.63, p = .001).

Perioperative flurbiprofen axetil therapy may be associated with prolonged RFS and OS in patients with esophageal carcinoma undergoing thoracoscopic esophagectomy.

Although there is a very efficacious vaccine since the 1930s, YF still causes 29,000-60,000 annual deaths. During recent YF outbreaks there were issues of vaccine shortage of the current egg-derived vaccine; rare but fatal vaccine adverse effects occurred; and cases were imported to Asia, where the circulating mosquito vector could potentially start local transmission. Here we investigated the production of YF virus-like particles (VLPs) using stably transfected HEK293 cells. Process intensification was achieved by combining sequential FACS (fluorescence-activated cell sorting) rounds to enrich the stable cell pool in terms of high producers and the use of perfusion processes. At shaken-tube scale, FACS enrichment of cells allowed doubling VLP production, and pseudoperfusion cultivation (with daily medium exchange) further increased VLP production by 9.3-fold as compared to batch operation mode. At perfusion bioreactor scale, the use of an inclined settler as cell retention device showed operational advantages over an ATF system. A one-step steric exclusion chromatography purification allowed significant removal of impurities and is a promising technique for future integration of upstream and downstream operations. Characterization by different techniques confirmed the identity and 3D-structure of the purified VLPs.Clear and complete microstructural imaging of the root canal isthmus is an important part of pathological investigations in research and clinical practice. X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) is a widely used non-destructive imaging technique, which allows for distortion-free three-dimensional (3D) visualisation. While absorption μCT typically has poor contrast resolution for observing the root canal isthmus, especially for weak-absorbing tissues, propagation-based X-ray phase-contrast imaging (PBI) is a powerful imaging method, which in its combination with μCT (PB-PCμCT) enables high-resolution and high-contrast microstructural imaging of the weak-absorbing tissues in samples. To investigate the feasibility and ability of PB-PCμCT in microstructural imaging of the root canal isthmus, conventional absorption μCT and PB-PCμCT experiments were performed. The two-dimensional (2D) and 3D comparison results demonstrated that, compared to absorption μCT, PB-PCμCT has the ability to image the root canal isthmus more clearly and completely, and thus, it has great potential to serve as a valuable tool for biomedical and preclinical studies on the root canal isthmus.Neuroinflammation is recognized as a hallmark of spinal cord injury (SCI). Although neuroinflammation is an important pathogenic factor that leads to secondary injuries after SCI, neuroprotective anti-inflammatory treatments remain ineffective in the management of SCI. Moreover, the molecular signatures involved in the pathophysiological changes that occur during the course of SCI remain ambiguous. The current study investigated the proteins and pathways involved in C5 spinal cord hemi-contusion injury using a rat model by means of 4-D label-free proteomic analysis. Furthermore, two Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) transcriptomic datasets, Western blot assays, and immunofluorescent staining were used to validate the expression levels and localization of dysregulated proteins. The present study observed that the rat models of SCI were associated with the enrichment of proteins related to the complement and coagulation cascades, cholesterol metabolism, and lysosome pathway throughout the acute and subacute phases of injury. Intriguingly, the current study also observed that 75 genes were significantly altered in both the GEO datasets, including ANXA1, C1QC, CTSZ, GM2A, GPNMB, and PYCARD. CPI-1205 mouse Further temporal clustering analysis revealed that the continuously upregulated protein cluster was associated with immune response, lipid regulation, lysosome pathway, and myeloid cells. Additionally, five proteins were further validated by means of Western blot assays and the immunofluorescent staining showed that these proteins coexisted with the F4/80+ reactive microglia and infiltrating macrophages. In conclusion, the proteomic data pertaining to the current study indicate the notable proteins and pathways that may be novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of SCI.
