Background: The mortality and disability rates among severely injured trauma patients are very high. This study aimed to investigate whether a new in-hospital trauma care model can improve emergency care efficiency and enhance the prognosis of severely injured trauma patients.

Methods: This retrospective observational study included 366 severely injured trauma patients (ISS ≥ 16) who were admitted to the emergency department of a tertiary hospital between 2023 and 2024.

Molecular Diversity and Evolutionary Relatedness of Paulownia Witches'-Broom Phytoplasma in Different Geographical Distributions in China.

To reveal the distribution and transmission pathway of Paulownia witches'-broom (PaWB) disease, which is caused by phytoplasmas related to genetic variation, and the adaptability to the hosts and environments of the pathogenic population in different geographical regions in China, in this study, we used ten housekeeping gene fragments, including , , , , , , , , , and , for multilocus sequence typing (MLST). A total of 142 PaWB phytoplasma strains were collected from 18 provinces or municipalities. The results showed that the genetic diversity was comparatively higher among the PaWB phytoplasma strains, and substantially different from that of the other 16SrI subgroup strains.

Rapid and Efficient Detection of 16SrI Group Areca Palm Yellow Leaf Phytoplasma in China by Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification.

Areca palm yellow leaf (AYL) disease caused by the 16SrI group phytoplasma is a serious threat to the development of the Areca palm industry in China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence was utilized to establish a rapid and efficient detection system efficient for the 16SrI-B subgroup AYL phytoplasma in China by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). The results showed that two sets of LAMP detection primers, 16SrDNA-2 and 16SrDNA-3, were efficient for 16SrIB subgroup AYL phytoplasma in China, with positive results appearing under reaction conditions of 64oC for 40 min.

The Anatomy and Ultrastructure of the Digestive Tract and Salivary Glands of Hishimonus lamellatus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae).

In recent years, we found that Hishimonus lamellatus Cai et Kuoh is a potential vector of jujube witches'-broom phytoplasma. However, little is known about the anatomy and histology of this leafhopper. Here, we examined histology and ultrastructure of the digestive system of H.

Brenneria corticis sp. nov., isolated from symptomatic bark of Populus×euramericana canker.

A Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile bacterial strain, designated gBX10-1-2, was isolated from symptomatic bark of Populus×euramericana canker in China. Phylogenetic analysis based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the novel isolate belonged to the genus Brenneria, and shared the highest sequence similarity to Brenneria nigrifluens LMG 2694 (98.3 %).

Sphingomonas aeria sp. nov., isolated from air.

A Gram-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, yellow-pigmented and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated B093034, was isolated from air at the foot of Xiangshan mountain, located in Beijing, China. Cells of strain B093034 were oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. Growth was observed at 4-41 °C, at pH 4.

Aureimonas populi sp. nov., isolated from poplar tree bark.

Two novel bacterial strains (4M3-2 and 10-107-7) were isolated from poplar tree bark. The strains were Gram-stain-negative facultative aerobes, and produced short rods that were motile because of polar flagella. A phylogenetic tree was reconstructed based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicating that the two novel strains are related to species of the genus Aureimonas and Aurantimonas.

Phylogenetic analysis of family Neisseriaceae based on genome sequences and description of Populibacter corticis gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Neisseriaceae, isolated from symptomatic bark of Populus × euramericana canker.

Two Gram-stain negative aerobic bacterial strains were isolated from the bark tissue of Populus × euramericana. The novel isolates were investigated using a polyphasic approach including 16S rRNA gene sequencing, genome sequencing, average nucleotide identity (ANI) and both phenotypic and chemotaxonomic assays. The genome core gene sequence and 16S rRNA gene phylogenies suggest that the novel isolates are different from the genera Snodgrassella and Stenoxybacter.

Populibacterium corticicola gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Jonesiaceae, isolated from symptomatic bark of Populus × euramericana canker.

Four Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, motile bacterial strains were isolated from the bark tissue of Populus × euramericana canker. Growth occurred between 10 and 37 °C and at pH 6-10, with optimal growth at 28-30 °C and pH 7.0-8.

Brenneria populi sp. nov., isolated from symptomatic bark of Populus×euramericana canker.

Five Gran-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile, bacterial strains were isolated from symptomatic bark tissue of Populus×euramericana canker. Strains grew at 4-41 °C, pH 4-10 and 0-6 % (w/v) salinity. They were positive with respect to catalase activity and negative for oxidase activity, nitrate reduction and the Voges-Proskauer reaction.

Objective: To identify the tRNA-ipt gene of phytoplasmas and analyze the relationship between tRNA-ipt and synthesis of cytokinin as well as pathogenesis in phytoplasmas.

Methods: The paulownia witches'-broom phytoplasma (PaWB) tRNA-ipt gene was expressed in E. coli and specific antibody was prepared.

Transcriptomic analysis of Paulownia infected by Paulownia witches'-broom Phytoplasma.

Phytoplasmas are plant pathogenic bacteria that have no cell wall and are responsible for major crop losses throughout the world. Phytoplasma-infected plants show a variety of symptoms and the mechanisms they use to physiologically alter the host plants are of considerable interest, but poorly understood. In this study we undertook a detailed analysis of Paulownia infected by Paulownia witches'-broom (PaWB) Phytoplasma using high-throughput mRNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and digital gene expression (DGE).

Multilocus sequences confirm the close genetic relationship of four phytoplasmas of peanut witches'-broom group 16SrII-A.

Four witches'-broom diseases associated with Arachis hypogaea (peanut), Crotalaria pallida, Tephrosia purpurea, and Cleome viscosa were observed in Hainan Province, China during field surveys in 2004, 2005, and 2007. In previously reported studies, we identified these four phytoplasmas as members of subgroup 16SrII-A, and discovered that their 16S rRNA gene sequences were 99.9-100% identical to one another.
