Objective: Current research links cytokines to cancer occurrence and development. This study used Mendelian randomization (MR) to examine the causal relationship between circulating cytokines and Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) onset. Methods: We analyzed 91 circulating cytokines as exposures and MDS...

Carbon and nitrogen are the most important elements in the terrestrial ecosystem. Studying carbon and nitrogen distributions in plant and soil is important for our understanding of the ecosystem dynamics and carbon cycle on arid lands. A study was conducted in a typical arid area, the Yanqi Basin, N...

Astragalus membranaceus is a widely used herbal medicine. This study was conducted to understand the heavy metal contents of A. membranaceus in Shaanxi Province of China and to evaluate the potential human health risks associated with its consumption. A total of 100 samples of A. membranaceus were c...

Pearling is an effective method for evaluating the distribution of chemical components in wheat grain. Five pearling fractions (representing approximately 20% of the original sample weight) of wheat grain were obtained using the JNMJ3 rice polisher for two cultivars with different methods of Zinc (Z...

Genetic diversity of 158 accessions of an applied core collection of adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) and 18 wild genotypes were assessed by using 85 microsatellite markers. With an average of 5.81 alleles per locus, 493 alleles were detected, and their distribution frequencies lower than 5% accounted...

RGBN cameras that can capture visible light and near-infrared (NIR) light simultaneously produce better color image quality in low-light-level conditions. However, these RGBN cameras introduce additional color bias caused by the mixing of visible information and NIR information. The color correction...
