ABSTRACT Background and Aims Sepsis is a critical condition requiring optimized clinical management, especially in terms of hematocrit. The relationship between early stage of hematocrit and mortality in patients with sepsis remains underexplored. Method This observational cohort study used data fro...

Periodontitis refers to the inflammation of gums and the surrounding structures and caused by a bacterial infection. The infection occurs owing to poor oral hygiene and could destroy the bone and the gum over time if left untreated. The present study identified the involvement of a key long noncodin...

In the previously developed ghost fluid methods (GFMs), the focus is often on the fluid-fluid interface. Based on this method, a ghost immersed boundary method for investigating complex shock-obstacle interactions with strong discontinuity was presented. The values of the fluid variables at the embe...

Excessive phosphorus (P) fertilization has led to high soil P accumulation in pear orchards across China, increasing the risk of P loss while limiting economic returns. Orchard grassing has been proposed as a strategy to optimize soil P content and reduce P loss; however, its limited economic benefi...

Heat stress occurs frequently in energy-saving sunlight greenhouses (ESSG) at the late growth stage. Three-year delayed cultivation (DC) of the Red Globe cultivar of Vitis vinifera L. was used to clarify the physiological mechanisms of short-term heat stress on PSII and subsequent recovery from heat...

To investigate the molecular mechanism of ultrasound-induced phenolic synthesis in fresh-cut fruits and vegetables, transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analyses were carried out on fresh-cut red cabbage washed with and without the assistance of ultrasound at different storage periods. The re...

Current models for detecting interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) using spacecraft in situ measurements rely heavily on manual processes, resulting in time-consuming procedures, inconsistencies in identification criteria, and gaps in existing catalogs. Although several machine learning–base...

We analyzed the performance and financial feasibility of a compressed air energy storage (CAES) system in a potential region in Miaoli County, Taiwan, with the aquifer in the underground structure. We conducted a performance analysis of the system using the commercial software Flownex 9.0. Initially...

Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) causes the atrophy of immune organs and immuno-suppression in chickens, but the underlying molecular mechanism of the immune response after infection by REV is not well understood. Presently, the RNA-seq was used to analyze the regulation of immune response to REV i...

Pulmonary adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with poorly defined molecular characteristics and therapeutic strategies. We present a 63-year-old male patient with stage IVa (cT4N3M1b) lung ASC. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) revealed...

This study investigates the impact of the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (NRCMS) on rural households to escape poverty. We employ the instrumental variable method, the IVProbit model, to analyze the national data from the rural-resident field survey by the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) in...

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), an important hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPG) hormone, is secreted by the pituitary gland. This study confirms that FSH is expressed in chicken follicles at different stages, and positive FSHβ mRNA signals were stronger (P<0.05) in granulosa cells than...

Long-duration GRB 211211A, which lacked an associated supernova at very a low redshift z = 0.076 but was associated with a possible kilonova emission, has attracted great attention. The neutron star–white dwarf (NS–WD) merger is proposed as a possible progenitor of GRB 211211A, and it could naturall...
