Identification of Fatty Acid Synthase in and Its Expression Profiles in Response to Starvation.

Fatty acids are the main form of energy production and storage in insects, and fatty acid synthase (FAS) plays a major role in this process. is a natural enemy used in China to control agricultural pests. While its whole genome has been assembled, its FAS genes remain undescribed.

Exploring Bacterial Communities and Functions in Phytophagous and Predatory .

The phytophagous (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is a global agricultural pest that damages many crops. Conversely, the predatory (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) shows promise as a biological control agent against lepidopteran and coleopteran pests. and are closely related species with different feeding habits, as confirmed via genomic and morphological analyses.

Predaceous and Phytophagous Pentatomidae Insects Exhibit Contrasting Susceptibilities to Imidacloprid.

Imidacloprid, a widely used neonicotinoid insecticide, targets insect pests but also affects natural enemies. However, the effects of neonicotinoid insecticides on closely related insects remain unclear. We evaluated the harmful effects of imidacloprid on the phytophagous and predaceous .

Data on insect biodiversity in a Chinese potato agroecosystem from DNA metabarcoding.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a staple crop important in global food security. As a leading potato producer, China faces significant challenges from insect pest infestations that compromise yield and quality. However, insect communities within Chinese potato fields remain poorly characterized.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of predatory Arma chinensis.

Arma chinensis is a natural enemy that preys on various species and can suppress agricultural and forest pests in the orders Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. Here, we aimed to determine the genome of A. chinensis assembled at the chromosome-level using PacBio and Hi-C technologies.

Genome-wide analysis of gustatory receptor genes and identification of the fructose gustatory receptor in .

Gustatory receptors (GRs) allow insects to sense tastes in their external environment. Gustatory perception is crucial for distinguishing between beneficial and harmful or toxic compounds, affecting survival. This study is the first to identify and classify the GR genes and investigate their expression in the predatory .

The application of demographic characteristics of Ectropis grisescens (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) in pest risk assessment of IPM.

Ectropis grisescens Warren is one of the most important pests of tea plants. In this study, data on the development, survival, and fecundity of E. grisescens were collected at 15, 22, and 32 °C and analyzed by using the age-stage, two-sex life table.

Circ_0001821 Affects Proliferation and the Cell Cycle in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Elevating BTRC-Mediated IKBA Ubiquitination.

Unlabelled: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a fatal human cancer featured with a tendency to metastasis and relapse. Increasing studies have emphasized the critical roles of circular RNAs (circRNA) in ESCC. This study targeted at a novel circRNA and uncovering its function and mechanisms in ESCC.

Identification of exon 19 and 21 mutations of EGFR gene in Chinese patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: Although epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor treatment showed modest response in several clinical trials in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients, it has been reported that the frequency of EGFR mutations varied largely. The aim of this study was to investigate the existence of EGFR mutations in Chinese esophageal squamous cell carcinomas.

Methods: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded surgically resected tumor samples were obtained from 127 randomly selected Chinese patients with ESCC.

[Long-term result of dynamic cardiomyoplasty].

Objective: To evaluate the long-term outcome of dynamic cardiomyoplasty in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Methods: Three male patients with dilated cardiomyopathy at age of 36, 45 and 62 years were underwent dynamic cardiomyoplasty from 1994 to 1995. Postoperative follow-up were performed.
