Sex differences in the association of physical activity patterns with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality: a prospective cohort study from NHANES 2007-2018.

Physical activity is widely promoted to reduce mortality risks from all-cause and cardiovascular diseases, yet current guidelines rarely address sex-specific differences or distinguish between occupational (OPA) and non-occupational PA (Non-OPA). This study leverages NHANES 2007-2018 data to evaluate sex differences in mortality benefits from OPA and Non-OPA, with a specific focus on implications for women's health. Participants were categorized into three activity levels: below (< 150 min/week), at (150-300 min/week), and above (> 300 min/week) the recommended guidelines.

Genome-wide identification and gene expression pattern analysis of the carotenoid cleavage oxygenase gene family in Fagopyrum tataricum.

Background: Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCOs) convert carotenoids into volatile aromatic compounds implicated in plant growth and development. They affect the synthesis of hormones, including abscisic acid (ABA) and strigolactone (SL). However, the CCO family in Tartary buckwheat remains unelucidated.

Genome-wide identification and gene expression pattern analysis of the glycoside hydrolase family 1 in Fagopyrum tataricum.

Background: The β-glucosidases (BGLU) of glycoside hydrolase family 1 hydrolyze the glycosidic bond to release β-D-glucose and related ligands, which are widely involved in important physiological processes in plants. Genome-wide analysis of the BGLU genes in the model crops Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa revealed that they are functionally diverse. In contrast, the BGLU gene family in Tartary buckwheat remains unclear.

Genome-wide identification, abiotic stress, and expression analysis of PYL family in Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum (L.) Gaertn.) during grain development.

Background: Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone that plays an important role in plant resistance to drought, salinity, cold, and pathogens. It is also important for regulating plant growth and development. Pyrabactin resistance/pyr1-like/regulatory components of the ABA receptor (PYL/RCAR) are ABA receptor proteins in plants and the core of ABA signal transduction pathways in plant regulatory factors.

Genome-wide identification, structural characterization and gene expression analysis of the WRKY transcription factor family in pea (Pisum sativum L.).

Background: The WRKY gene family is one of the largest families of transcription factors in higher plants, and WRKY transcription factors play important roles in plant growth and development as well as in response to abiotic stresses; however, the WRKY gene family in pea has not been systematically reported.

Results: In this study, 89 pea WRKY genes were identified and named according to the random distribution of PsWRKY genes on seven chromosomes. The gene family was found to have nine pairs of tandem duplicates and 19 pairs of segment duplicates.

Predicting IDH Mutation Status in Low-Grade Gliomas Based on Optimal Radiomic Features Combined with Multi-Sequence Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

The IDH somatic mutation status is an important basis for the diagnosis and classification of gliomas. We proposed a "6-Step" general radiomics model to noninvasively predict the IDH mutation status by simultaneously tuning combined multi-sequence MRI and optimizing the full radiomics processing pipeline. Radiomic features ( = 3776) were extracted from multi-sequence MRI (T1, T2, FLAIR, and T1Gd) in low-grade gliomas (LGGs), and a total of 45,360 radiomics pipeline were investigated according to different settings.

Genome-Wide Identification, Evolution, and Expression Pattern Analysis of the Gene Family in Tartary Buckwheat ().

GATA is a transcription factor that exerts a vital function in plant growth and development, physiological metabolism, and environmental responses. However, the gene family has rarely been studied in Tartary buckwheat since the completion of its genome. This study used bioinformatics methods to identify genes of Tartary buckwheat and to analyze their subfamily classification, structural composition, and developmental evolution, as well as to discuss the expression patterns of genes in different subfamilies.

Genome-wide identification and characterization of the SPL gene family and its expression in the various developmental stages and stress conditions in foxtail millet (Setaria italica).

Background: Among the major transcription factors, SPL plays a crucial role in plant growth, development, and stress response. Foxtail millet (Setaria italica), as a C4 crop, is rich in nutrients and is beneficial to human health. However, research on the foxtail millet SPL (SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING-LIKE) gene family is limited.

Genome-wide identification, phylogenetic and expression pattern analysis of MADS-box family genes in foxtail millet (Setaria italica).

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is rich in nutrients and extremely beneficial to human health. We identified and comprehensively analyzed 89 MADS-box genes in the foxtail millet genome. According to the classification of MADS-box genes in Arabidopsis thaliana and rice, the SiMADS-box genes were divided into M-type (37) and MIKC-type (52).

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the bHLH transcription factor family and its response to abiotic stress in foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.).

Background: Members of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor family perform indispensable functions in various biological processes, such as plant growth, seed maturation, and abiotic stress responses. However, the bHLH family in foxtail millet (Setaria italica), an important food and feed crop, has not been thoroughly studied.

Results: In this study, 187 bHLH genes of foxtail millet (SibHLHs) were identified and renamed according to the chromosomal distribution of the SibHLH genes.

Adding NBPT to urea increases N use efficiency of maize and decreases the abundance of N-cycling soil microbes under reduced fertilizer-N rate on the North China Plain.

Urease inhibitor (UI) and nitrification inhibitor (NI) can reduce N losses from agricultural soils but effects of inhibitors on N cycle are unclear. A field experiment was conducted with maize to test effects of UI (N-(n-Butyl) thiophosphoric, NBPT) and NI (3,4-dimethylepyrazolephosphate, DMPP) on N uptake and N-cycling soil microbes. Five treatments were imposed: no N fertilizer input (CK), conventional fertilization (CF) and 80% of urea input with NBPT (80%U+UI), with DMPP (80%U+NI) and with half NBPT and half DMPP (80%U+1/2(UI+NI)).

iMAGE cloud: medical image processing as a service for regional healthcare in a hybrid cloud environment.

Objectives: To handle the emergence of the regional healthcare ecosystem, physicians and surgeons in various departments and healthcare institutions must process medical images securely, conveniently, and efficiently, and must integrate them with electronic medical records (EMRs). In this manuscript, we propose a software as a service (SaaS) cloud called the iMAGE cloud.

Methods: A three-layer hybrid cloud was created to provide medical image processing services in the smart city of Wuxi, China, in April 2015.

The promoting effects of alginate oligosaccharides on root development in Oryza sativa L. mediated by auxin signaling.

Alginate oligosaccharides (AOS), which are marine oligosaccharides, are involved in regulating plant root growth, but the promotion mechanism for AOS remains unclear. Here, AOS (10-80 mg/L) induced the expression of auxin-related gene (OsYUCCA1, OsYUCCA5, OsIAA11 and OsPIN1) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) tissues to accelerate auxin biosynthesis and transport, and reduced indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) oxidase activity in rice roots.
