Men have higher NHR levels than women. The study was designed to examine the usefulness of NHR for predicting severe coronary stenosis in male and female ACS subjects.

Randomized clinical trial: the effects of mirtazapine in functional dyspepsia patients.

Background: Functional dyspepsia (FD) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders worldwide. Currently, anti-gastric drugs, gastric acid inhibitors, prokinetic drugs, and mucosal protective drugs are widely used in FD patients, however, only a small proportion of patients benefit from these drugs. Studies reported mirtazapine may improve symptoms of FD patients but the efficacy and safety of mirtazapine in the treatment of FD is unclear.

Atomically Precise Design of PtSn Catalyst for the Understanding of the Role of Sn in Propane Dehydrogenation.

Propane dehydrogenation (PDH), an atom-economic reaction to produce high-value-added propylene and hydrogen with high efficiency, has recently attracted extensive attention. The severe deactivation of Pt-based catalysts through sintering and coking remains a major challenge in this high-temperature reaction. The introduction of Sn as a promoter has been widely applied to improve the stability and selectivity of the catalysts.

The selective hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO) to value-added chemicals, e.g., methanol, using green hydrogen retrieved from renewable resources is a promising approach for CO emission reduction and carbon resource utilization.

The TaGW2-TaSPL14 module regulates the trade-off between tiller number and grain weight in wheat.

IDEAL PLANT ARCHITECTURE1 (IPA1) is a pivotal gene controlling plant architecture and grain yield. However, little is known about the effects of Triticum aestivum SQUAMOSA PROMOTER-BINDING-LIKE 14 (TaSPL14), an IPA1 ortholog in wheat, on balancing yield traits and its regulatory mechanism in wheat (T. aestivum L.

Expression and diagnostic value of interleukin-22 in rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease.

Rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) is characterized by a high incidence and mortality rate, highlighting the need for biomarkers to detect ILD early in RA patients. Previous studies have shown the protective effects of Interleukin-22 (IL-22) in pulmonary fibrosis using mouse models. This study aims to assess IL-22 expression in RA-ILD to validate foundational experiments and explore its diagnostic value.

Overexpressing GLUTAMINE SYNTHETASE 1;2 maintains carbon and nitrogen balance under high-ammonium conditions and results in increased tolerance to ammonium toxicity in hybrid poplar.

The glutamine synthetase/glutamic acid synthetase (GS/GOGAT) cycle plays important roles in N metabolism, growth, development, and stress resistance in plants. Excess ammonium (NH4+) restricts growth, but GS can help to alleviate its toxicity. In this study, the 84K model clone of hybrid poplar (Populus alba × P.

Network Analysis of Metabolome and Transcriptome Revealed Regulation of Different Nitrogen Concentrations on Hybrid Poplar Cambium Development.

Secondary development is a key biological characteristic of woody plants and the basis of wood formation. Exogenous nitrogen can affect the secondary growth of poplar, and some regulatory mechanisms have been found in the secondary xylem. However, the effect of nitrogen on cambium has not been reported.

Polydopamine functionalized polyurethane shape memory sponge with controllable expansion performance triggered by near-infrared light for incompressible hemorrhage control.

Uncontrolled expansion of shape memory sponges face a significant challenge in the treatment of lethal incompressible hemorrhage, which can lead to blood overflow or damage to the surrounding tissue. Herein, we developed a polydopamine functionalized polyurethane shape memory sponge (PDA-TPI-PU) with a controllable degree of expansion by near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered stimulation for the treatment of incompressible hemorrhage. The sponge has excellent liquid absorption performance and robust mechanical strength as well as good photothermal conversion ability.

Physiological effects of combined NaCl and NaHCO stress on the seedlings of two maple species.

Salt stress impacts growth and physiological processes in plants, and some plants exposed to salt stress will produce physiological mechanisms to adapt to the new environment. However, the effects of combined NaCl and NaHCO3 stress on the seedlings of Acer species are understudied. In this study, we designed an experiment to measure physiological characteristics by establishing a range of NaCl and NaHCO concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mmol L) to estimate the compound salt tolerance of and .
