UnknownHepatic actinomycosis: report of one case and analysis of 32 previously reported cases.
Hepatic actinomycosis is rare, with few published cases. There are no characteristic clinical manifestations, and computed tomography (CT) shows mainly low-density images, making clinical diagnosis difficult, and leading to frequent misdiagnosis as primary liver cancer, metastatic liver cancer or li...

UnknownAssociation between fat-to-muscle ratio and secondary osteoporosis in rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional study at a tertiary hospital in China.

Objectives

To investigate the correlation between fat-to-muscle ratio (FMR) or other body composition and secondary osteoporosis (OP) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to develop a predictive model using FMR and related clinical factors.

Design

Cross-sectional observation...

UnknownA novel 5-enolpyruvoylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase transgene for glyphosate resistance stimulates growth and fecundity in weedy rice (Oryza sativa) without herbicide.
Understanding evolutionary interactions among crops and weeds can facilitate effective weed management. For example, gene flow from crops to their wild or weedy relatives can lead to rapid evolution in recipient populations. In rice (Oryza sativa), transgenic herbicide resistance is expected to spre...

UnknownSMC1A regulated by KIAA1429 in m6A-independent manner promotes EMT progress in breast cancer.
As a component of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) "writers," KIAA1429 was reported to promote breast cancer proliferation and growth in m6A-independent manners. However, the related mechanism of KIAA1429 in breast cancer metastasis has not been reported. In the present study, we found KIAA1429 could signif...

UnknownCytokinins can act as suppressors of nitric oxide in Arabidopsis.
Maintaining nitric oxide (NO) homeostasis is essential for normal plant physiological processes. However, very little is known about the mechanisms of NO modulation in plants. Here, we report a unique mechanism for the catabolism of NO based on the reaction with the plant hormone cytokinin. We scree...

GenomicsGenome wide association study of leprosy in Chinese population

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae). Due to M. leprae's narrow host range and an inability to be cultured in vitro, the biological investigation of this disease has been difficult. Host genetic factors have been ...

UnknownCT whole lung radiomic nomogram: a potential biomarker for lung function evaluation and identification of COPD.

Background

Computed tomography (CT) plays a great role in characterizing and quantifying changes in lung structure and function of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aimed to explore the performance of CT-based whole lung radiomic in discriminating COPD patients and non...

UnknownHousehold transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and risk factors for susceptibility and infectivity in Wuhan: a retrospective observational study.

Background

Wuhan was the first epicentre of COVID-19 in the world, accounting for 80% of cases in China during the first wave. We aimed to assess household transmissibility of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and risk factors associated with infectivity and suscep...

UnknownRisk factors for adverse clinical outcomes with COVID-19 in China: a multicenter, retrospective, observational study.
Background: The risk factors for adverse events of Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) have not been well described. We aimed to explore the predictive value of clinical, laboratory and CT imaging characteristics on admission for short-term outcomes of COVID-19 patients. Methods: This mu...
